Summary: When a series of freeway accidents lead to a big catastrophe, Buck must worry for his team as he rushes to help them all before it only leads to  an even bigger disaster. All while working on helping his team he worries mostly for his best friend who’s unconscious for most of it.

Third Person Pov:
Tumblr media
“May-day! May-day! Air ambulance two reporting a collapse at the 710 interchange. Firefighters down. Repeat, firefighters down!” A voice comes through Maddie’s coms, making her quickly answer the distress call. 
“Air ambulance two, this is dispatch. Can you reroute to assist?” Maddie asks before pausing, waiting to get an answer. 
“Negative. We have a priority spinal transfer,” the voice solemnly tells her. 
“Do you have a visual on how many firefighters are down?” Maddie asks and there’s a long pause as she waits for the information. 
“All of them— the entire 118. They were on the upper span when it collapsed. They all went down,” the voice tells her in a very worried tone and Maddie’s heart drops. 
Her mind immediately goes to thoughts of her fiancé, brother, and sister-like friend, worried for all three. Her heart beats wildly and suddenly she can hear it in her ears as she types up details on her computer. Tears cloud her eyes for a moment and she tries to will herself not to cry just yet.

Y/n’s Pov:
I groan as my alarm goes off and roll over onto my back to look at the ceiling. It takes me a few minutes, but soon I’m reaching over to my phone and turning it off. With one last sigh, I push myself up from my bed and start to get ready for the long shift I have to work. 
Once I’m ready, I grab my backpack as well as my morning hot cocoa and keys. I quickly make my way out into the hallway of the complex and lock my door. Just as I lock the bottom lock, I hear Buck’s door open and shut. 
I turn to him and let out a giggle when I see the pure exhaustion on his face. He locks up his door before turning when I giggle and he smiles. 
“You must have had a lousy night, E. You really look exhausted,” I say, using the nickname I’ve had for him forever with humor laced in my tone. 
“Ugh, not exhaustion. More annoyance at the two idiots that won’t make up,” he replies with a roll of his eyes before we both start walking out. 
“I’m sure they’ll make up soon, bubs. Just give it a little more time,” I try to reassure him and he hums, shaking his head at me. 
“Sure. Then maybe I won’t have to deal with Kamron needing me 24/7. Or the smell of pickles. She keeps needing me to open them. Never did I think I’d hate pickles,” he rants with a roll of his eyes and I giggle again. 
“You definitely won’t and I’m sure you’ll like pickles again soon,” I joke with him as I playfully hit my arm against his. 
“Anyway, wanna carpool to work today?” he questions me, now changing the subject. 
“Sure, why not. Anything to hang out with you a little more,” I joke as I bump my arm into his again and he shakes his head, chuckling. 
“As if we don’t already hang out everyday,” he playfully scoffs and I shrug. 
“No, we definitely don’t,” I playfully deny and he chuckles, shaking his head. 
“Ok, dork. Let’s go. Bobby will kill us if we’re late. Again,” he remarks and I giggle. 
“You got that right,” I agree with him as I roll my eyes while we walk out to his car. 
“Breakfast on the way?” he asks and I smirk. 
“You buying?” I ask him with a raised eyebrow and he groans. 
“I wouldn’t have offered if I wasn’t,” he playfully growls out like he’s angry when I know he indeed isn’t. 
“Then hell yeah. I'm hungry,” I tell him and he groans. 
“Don’t be like Kameron now,” he says as he rolls his eyes and I laugh. 
“What, pregnant? E, I don’t know if you know how that works, but I kinda need to have some relations before that, and you know I’m not seeing anyone right now…” I playfully tell him and he shakes his head. 
“Of course I know how that works? You know I didn’t mean that. I mean, I was a sex addict, remember?” he asks and I giggle, letting my eyes go wide jokingly. 
“Oh I vividly remember, Mr. Do it on the rooftop of the firehouse. Dumbass,” I joke as I smack his arm and he rubs it. 
“Well, what would you have done?!” he fights back and I laugh. 
“Not on the rooftop, that’s for sure,” I joke back and he rolls his eyes. 
“Whatever. Let’s just get the food and get to work,” he tells me and I giggle. 
“Awe, E, I’m just messing with you!” I inform him and he shakes his head. 
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go, you Gremlin,” he tells me and I giggle, smiling softly at the use of my nickname Buck had given me when we were younger before we split up to get into his Jeep.

“Okay, 118, let’s gather ‘round and settle in. We have some outstanding tasks from our last shift and I’ve got an important announcement about our upcoming weather conditions,” Bobby announces, making me and Buck, who's up on the truck, sit down with our legs hanging off the side. 
“So cute, huh? Oh, wait. I promised her I’d wear it all day. Take a picture so we can…” Chimney talks with one of the other firefighters as they walk out of the locker room. 
“Firefighter Han,” Bobby calls out, cutting Chim off and making him look up from the play ring on his finger. 
“I was gonna save this until the end, but why not make it the first order of business? Congratulations on popping the question,” Bobby announces as he uses his clipboard to point at Howard. 
“Yeah, Chim! Whoo, whoo!” I shout out as everyone else claps while I shake Buck. 
“Ok… ok… a little less shaking, there,” Buck comments as he pushes me lightly, making me giggle softly. 
“Didn’t she do the proposing?” I quietly whisper to Buck, who chortles and nods. 
“She finally made an honest man out of him!” Ravi shouts as he grabs Chimney by the shoulder and shakes him lightly. 
“All right, everybody. Let’s settle down. We still have to get to the weather update,” Bobby calls out and all the laughs die down. 
“All right, apparatus maintenance. Firefighter Diaz will be running point this morning on engine service. We’ll be doing an oil change and a brake fluid change,” Bobby explains as I yawn lightly and lay my head on Buck’s shoulder. 
“Tired?” Buck quietly questions me and I hum at him. 
“Didn’t sleep too well last night. Tossed and turned all night. Don’t know why, just had a weird feeling,” I whisper back to him and he smiles softly before wrapping his arm around my shoulder. 
“Hmm, comfy,” I mummer out as I cuddle in closer and he chuckles softly. 
“Eddie?” Bobby calls out, making us all listen in. “Yeah, cap?” Eddie asks nonchalantly as he looks at his phone. 
“Did Eddie finally find someone?” I quietly question Buck, who shrugs. 
“He didn’t say anything to me if he did,” Buck informs me and I sigh. 
“Then why’s he staring at his phone like a lovesick puppy?” I query and Buck gives a small ‘huh,’ before shrugging. 
“I guess maybe he did. He’ll tell us when he’s ready,” Buck comments to me and I cross my arms. 
“I wanna know now. We’re the three musketeers. Two musketeers can’t just be left in the dust by the other,” I whisper as I cross my arms, pouting and Buck chuckles. 
“You and that impatient ass of yours,” Buck comments and I give him a playful smirk. 
“And you like this ass of mine,” I joke with him, wiggling my eyebrows at him and he shakes his head. 
“Can’t say I don’t,” he plays right back and I giggle before we both turn back to listen in. 
“Apparatus maintenance,” Bobby pointedly comments as Eddie moves into a different sitting position while closing his phone. 
“I’m on it, Cap,” Eddie promises and Bobby nods as Buck’s phone vibrates. 
He quickly silences his phone, but it vibrates again and again. He groans quietly and presses the answer button. 
“Okay. All right, now for the weather update,” Bobby starts as Buck puts the phone up to his ear. 
“Uh, hey, listen, I-I can’t… I can’t talk right now. No, I can’t. Kameron, I don’t know why he’s calling you. Maybe if you answer the phone you’ll find…” Buck talks into the phone and I smirk as Bobby turns around. 
Booby walks over to us on the truck and looks up at us. He gives me an irritated questioning look and I just shrug, making him look at Buck, who trails off. 
“You're in trouble…” I jokingly mutter out as I try to hold in my giggles while poking his side lightly. 
“Umm, I got to go,” Buck tells her and I hold back a giggle at his ‘oops’ tone before hanging the phone up. 
“Uh- s-sor… sorry, Cap. Um…” Buck stutters out his apology, but Bobby just ignores him and turns back around. 
“Alright, folks, listen up,” Bobby again tries to get to the point. 
“Uh, Cap?” Ravi questions, holding his hand up and Bobby gives him an unamused look that tells him to go on. 
“Can I just say, if Buck needs to get the pregnant lady out of his apartment,” Ravi starts and Buck hops down off the truck before turning to me to help me down real quick. 
“I do have a two-bedroom that’s about to be on the market, so…” Ravi finishes as Buck and I walk towards him. 
“Thank you, Ravi! Maybe a discussion for another time,” Bobby humorously chides as everyone laughs a little bit. 
“118, it’s time to dial it in,” Bobby starts to try and corral us in again. 
“We have a Job to do, but in order to do that job, you have to be here. I need precision, I need focus, but most of all, I need you to be present,” Bobby pointedly announces as Hen cautiously walks in and around him to take a seat. 
“Sorry I’m late, Cap,” Hen quickly apologizes as she sighs. 
“Okay! Let’s get cracking,” Bobby finishes before starting to walk off. 
“Hey, wait. What’s the important weather update?” Chimney asks as Bobby walks past him. 
“There’s a moderate marine layer,” Bobby answers, unamused as he continues to walk away. 
“I’ll see you for lunch?” Buck questions and I nod in confirmation. 
“Yeah. That is, if we don’t get a call before then,” I promise him with a small smile. 
“Don’t jinx it,” Buck jokes, pointing at me with a chuckle. 
“Ok. I’ll see you in a-” I start, but the alarm sounds and Buck groans. 
“You jinxed it!” he shouts, throwing his hands up and I giggle. 
“My bad…” I reply with a shrug and he shakes his head. 
“Come on, dork. Let’s get into our gear,” Buck tells me with a grin. 
We both rush over to our lockers and start to put our gear on before running over to the truck. Buck hops in on the left side as I hop in on the right and we get into our seats as Bobby starts to pull out of the garage. Bobby drives throughout town before coming up to the scene on the bridge. Once the engine comes to a stop, we all quickly pile out and get to work. 
“Hen, Chem. Check the driver of this camper van,” Bobby orders as he points to the van. 
“Buck, y/n Eddie, Ravi, I want you guys to check these surrounding vehicles for injuries. Let’s go,” Bobby commands and we all give him a nod before rushing off. 
Buck, Ravi and I walk around, making sure there's no more injuries. Once we deem there are none, we walk back over to help. We stand back as Chimney and Hen communicate with the girl inside. 
“Cap, second victim in the back. She didn’t have her seatbelt on when the accident happened!” Chimney shouts as he looks around the side of the van. 
“Okay, these back doors are obliterated. I want you guys to pull that windshield,” Bobby commands, making Hen and Chimney nod.  
I quickly rush back to the engine and pull out the windshield suction cups as Ravi grabs the pry bars. Once I have them, I rush back to the van with Ravi in tow. I hand the suction cups to Hen as Ravi gives the pry bars to Buck and Eddie. Hen quickly places the suction cups on the windshield and pulls as Buck and Eddie use the pry bars. Once it comes off, Hen quickly passes the windshield to Buck, who takes it and sets it aside. 
“All right. What’s your name?” Hen asks the frightened girl softly. 
“Jo,” the girl cries out her reply. 
“Jo. Can-can you move?” Hen questions the girl and she looks down at her leg. 
“Um, I don’t know. It’s my leg. I think it’s broken. Um, please help her!” Jo cries out again as she looks up at Hen and Chimney with tears cascading down her face. 
“I'm on it, Jo, but I need to get back there, so we’re gonna pull you out. You might feel a little pain, okay?” Chimney calmly explains to her and he moves aside for Hen to get in a bit more. 
“Buck, can you carry her to the ambulance?” Chimney queries and Buck nods, moving behind Hen and getting ready to grab her. 
“Okay! Ahhh!” Jo agrees before screaming out in pain as they move her. She cries as they pull her out of the vehicle. 
Buck quickly lifts her up and carries her over to the back of the ambulance as Chimney moves into the van. Hen quickly stands up and pushes me along with Buck. 
“Go help him look her over. You have more medical training then he does. I’ll stay with Chim,” she commands me and I nod before rushing off behind Buck. 
I quickly help Buck get her down on the floor so I can look over her leg. In one fast fluid motion, I pull out a tourniquet-like brace and start putting it on her leg along with Bobby’s help as they wheel a gurney over. 
“Cap. We’re going to need an air ambulance. Patient is unresponsive, breathing is weak and she’s lost bladder control. Could be a spinal,” Chimney explains over the radio as we continue to work on Jo. 
“Copy that,” Bobby replies as we start to prepare Jo to get her on the gurney. 
“Spinal injury? Is she okay?” Jo asks me in fear and I look at her. 
“We won’t know until we get her to the hospital,” I inform her as they bring the gurney closer, now ready to get her up onto it. 
“Please, please don’t take me now because I need to see her,” she begs as she grips my hand and I pause as Hen walks up. 
“Hey, hey. You’ll be able to before they airlift her. I promise, okay?” Buck promises her before Hen or I can say anything. 
Eddie walks past us with the backboard, headed towards Chimney and we quickly move Jo onto the gurney. Jo keeps a grip on my hand and I squeeze hers before letting go. 
“Don’t worry. You know the firefighter that told you you’d see her?” I ask her and she nods in understanding. 
“That’s my best friend. I know when he promises something, he keeps it. You’ll see her just like he said,” I promise her softly and she gives me a small thankful smile as she seems only slightly less freaked out. 
“My name's y/n. I’ll stay here till your mom’s out, okay?” I tell her and she smiles a thankful smile at me again.
“She’s not my mom. She’s my mom’s best friend. My, uhh, mom passed away three years ago. Mallory was insistent we take this trip as an honor to my mother…” Jo explains to me and I smile softly at her. 
“I’m sorry to hear about your mom. You're very lucky to have Mallory. That sounds like a lovely plan. I’m sure you two can pick up when everyone is okay again,” I try to comfort her to the best of my ability and she shakes her head. 
“No. I think we’ll find a different way of traveling,” Jo informs me and I nod. 
“I would probably do that too. Nothing wrong with that,” I agree with her and she nods in agreement. 
We wait maybe a few more minutes until we see Chimney come out first. Then Eddie pushes Mallory out and together they lift her backboard onto another gurney that was taken over to them. They then start to roll her over and I move over next to Hen so they can roll her next to Jo. 
“She’s right up here,” I hear Chimney inform Mallory as they get closer. 
“Okay, she’s right up here,” he repeats himself as they get closer. 
“Mallory!” Jo shouts when they get closer before coming to a stop right next to her. 
“I’m so sorry,” Jo apologizes as they both reach out to hold hands. 
“I can’t lose you, too,” Jo continues on the verge of tears and I feel tears well up in my eyes. 
“I’m not going anywhere. We still have a lot of ground to cover, okay?” Mallory asks her as she squeezes her hand. 
“Next time, we’ll take the train,” Jo insists quickly as the others start to load her in the back of the ambulance as air support flies overhead. 
“Air support. You are clear to land,” Bobby gives the okay through his walkie and soon the helicopter is landing. 
Eddie and Chim start to walk her over to the helicopter and I let out a puff of air as my emotions take over. I take my jacket off in hopes a little air is all I need. I quickly try to sober up so I don’t start sobbing before I feel a hand on my back, making me turn to see Buck next to me. 
“Hey. You doing okay? You’re getting fidgety,” he queries with a raised eyebrow and I shake my head before nodding. 
“Yeah. No. I’m fine. Just had a flashback to my sister, that’s all,” I inform him and he nods solemnly at me. 
“I know. She’s watching over you. You know that,” he solemnly tells me, trying to comfort me as he rubs at my back and I nod, sniffling. 
“Thanks for checking on me,” I say in gratitude and I only hope Buck knows just how much I’m thankful for him. 
“Always, you know that we stick together, right?” he asks me and I smile. 
“Right. Stuck together like glue,” I reply to our life long promise we always tell each other and he smiles, nodding. 
“Okay. I’m gonna go help Chim. We’ll talk more about this later, okay?” he questions me and I nod. 
“Yeah. Go. Go. Do our job,” I agree with a soft smile and he nods before rushing off. 
“Possible spinal! She’s coming over now!” I hear him yell to the air tech that gets out of the helicopter.
“Can’t get rid of me, can you, Buckley?” I hear her voice and I immediately recognize Lucy. Red hot jealousy flares up in me, but I push it away. 
“Great to see you again, for real this time!” I hear Buck shout back as he stops to point at her and I huff, rolling my eyes. 
He turns and walks back towards me, but only frowns as I brush him off. I walk over to Bobby just as Eddie walks up. 
“Hey, Cap, think there’s a propane stove in the van. I’m gonna go check it out,” Eddie explains to him as he walks up to us. 
“Good thinking, Eddie. Y/n, go with him,” Bobby commands me and I nod. 
“Actually Bobby, can I have a quick moment with her?” Buck asks and Bobby shakes his head. 
“I guess. One minute, then back to work. Got it?” Bobby asks and Buck nods. 
“No, yeah, I promise,” Buck informs him and Bobby nods before walking off. 
“Hey, what’s up. Why are you giving the cold shoulder?” Buck asks as he looks at me. 
“It’s nothing, Buck, really. Go back to work,” I play it off and he sighs in frustration. 
“Y/n, I thought we talked about closing up? Talk to me, you know you can,” Buck begs me and I shake my head. 
“Buck. Nothing is wrong, it’s just a hard case. I told you I’d talk with you about it later,” I deflect away from what’s going on. 
“No. I know—” he starts, but gets cut off as the bridge suddenly starts to shake as it cracks down the middle, making both me and Buck fall to the ground with me on top of him. 
There’s more shaking and creaking as the bridge slowly starts to collapse. Buck looks up and suddenly he’s rushing to get up, pulling me with him. 
“Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey! Let’s move!” Buck yells out as the ambulance comes flying back at us and Buck quickly moves both of us out of the way just in time. 
“Hey!” he continues to shout as the ambulance rushes past us, quickly crashing at an angle. 
Buck quickly maneuvers, but somehow he gets pulled down with the ambulance, making me go with him. He smashes into the ambulance’s windshield and it cracks. 
“Buck!” I yell out as I fly past him, but he doesn’t reply. 
I let out another scream as I come to a landing on a slab of concrete, hitting my head in the process. Pain surges through my side, but I don’t notice it for long as suddenly everything goes black. 
Buck’s Pov: 
I groan as I come to, still laying on the windshield that’s now cracked from me smashing into it. There's a quiet, eerie, metallic creak and it takes me a moment to realize where I am. When I do, I take a moment to push myself up on all fours. I look around in fear for y/n, but there’s no sign of her, so I look into the ambulance next. 
“Hen!” I yell out as I see my friend still strapped into the driver's seat of the ambulance, now unconscious. 
“H-hen, can you hear—” I ask her as I bang on the window. 
“118, report in. I need a headcount,” I talk into my radio, hoping to get any answers. 
“I’m grabbing the ropes,” Ravi radios back first as I look around, trying to assess where everyone could be. 
“I’m in the van. Pretty sure I broke a couple ribs, but this van is about to get pancaked,” Eddie groans out as he radios in and I keep looking around with no sight of y/n. 
“Okay. Eddie, uh. We’re coming to you,” I inform him before taking a pause. 
“Han. What is your status?” I ask into my radio before letting go to get his status. 
“Han, come in,” I practically beg over the radios when he doesn’t answer. 
“Han…” I question again and wait a moment. 
“Han here,” Chimney finally radios in and I throw my head back in relief. 
“Captain Nash, firefighter Maysen, still haven’t heard from either of you. What is your status?” I ask into the radio again, only hoping to get something but nothing comes. 
“Bobby, y/n. Come in,” I repeat through the radio again, but still silence. 
“I see firefighter Maysen! She’s on a slab near you, maybe twenty feet away, just covered by some rubble,” Ravi explains to me through the radio and I sigh in relief. 
“Is she under it?” I question and wait for a moment. 
“No. She’s just close enough to be hidden. She’s out, though, and there’s one other thing…” he voices again though the radio before trailing off. 
“What? Is she okay?” I question him and he takes another pause, making me wait with bated breath. 
“She’s been impaled by a piece of rebar, Buck… right though the side of her stomach. I- if we don’t get to her soon, she might bleed out,” he breaks it to me easily and I sigh, putting my head down for a moment. 
“I’ll get to her as soon as I get Hen and the others out,” I inform him as I make the hard decision to wait, even though I want to rush over to her first and get her out. 
“Ok… only if you're sure. You're acting captain right now,” he informs and I let out a huff before pressing the button on my radio to reply. 
“Yeah, I know. So everyone’s safety is on me right now. Luckily if I can get Hen awake, she can take over. Let’s get to work,” I command before letting the button go, letting out a sigh, and looking down at Hen again. 
“Hen. I’m- I’m coming to you. Just stay right there,” I tell my unconscious friend before I move off the windshield and down the side of the ambulance. 
Very slowly, I make my way to the window and try to shove myself though it. The ambulance starts to tremble as I do, but I keep going. 
“Hen?” I call out to her as I pause for a moment. 
“Chim. Chim! Chim, you back there?” I shout out as I finally slide though the window of the ambulance. 
“I’m alive, but not great,” Chimney calls out in a winded tone. 
“Okay,” I pant out as I move over to Hen. 
“Come on. Hey,” I voice as I try to get Hen to wake up. 
“What happened?” Hen questions as she looks around, confused. 
“Bridge collapsed,” I inform her and her head starts to fall back. 
“Hey, hey, hey. Hen, you with me?” I question her and she squints at me. 
“I’m good. Thank you,” she conveys to me as she starts to reach towards me. 
“You okay?” she asks as she wipes at the side of my forehead. 
“Yeah. Oh. Uh… I mean, physically, yeah,” I tell her, my emotions betraying me ever so slightly as I feel a lump form in my throat. 
“Where is everybody?” she asks me as she continues to clean my face. 
“R-Ravi is up top. Eddie’s in the van. Chimney’s in the back. He needs our help. I’m gonna go up top. Get the ambulance secure. Then we get you out, okay?” I explain to her before asking if she understands. She slowly nods before letting her head fall back a bit. 
“Okay. Where’s Cap? Where’s Bobby? A-and y/n…” she suddenly asks as she quickly lifts her head straight. 
“He’s MIA, and y/n…” I pause and take a deep breath. 
“She’s currently bleeding out maybe twenty feet from us,” I inform her and she just stares at me. 
“You, uhh… y-you’re sure you’re good?” I ask her one last time just to make sure. 
“Yeah. I… I’m-I’m good,” she stumbles out in her shock and pain. 
“Just get some rope so we can get out of here,” she commands me and I nod before starting to try climbing out. 
“Okay, Ravi, I need a line,” I grunt as I call out while climbing out of the window. 
I get about halfway out the window when Ravi throws the rope down to me and I slowly finish pulling myself out. I hold onto the ambulance as I grab the rope before using it to climb back to the front. Once around the front, I continue to climb up the side until I can pull myself up to the top. Ravi hands me a part of the rope and I quickly slide under the engine, tying the rope to the underside of it. I quickly rush back to the side and let out a puff of air when I see what Ravi had seen before. 
The van is under the ambulance and both are close to falling. I let out another breath and close my eyes when I see y/n. She is indeed impaled and blood pools around her as she lays unconscious. 
“Buck, we’ll get to her,” Ravi promises as he puts a hand on my shoulder. 
“Yeah. I know. I’m not letting her go out like this. Not yet. It’s too early and there’s a lot that needs to be said,” I inform as I promise myself in my head that if we make it out, I’ll tell her how I really feel. 
“And it will be said,” he agrees with a head nod before going back over to the truck. 
“Please tell me you made it, Cap,” I whisper to myself as I look out over the scene again. 
“Okay, Ravi. Let’s go!” I shout to him as I turn around, ready to scale the concrete. 
“118, LAPD on scene at the lower level and here to assist,” Athena’s voice comes over the radio just as I hop over, ready to scale down to Hen. 
“118? Captain?” she asks in a scared tone when she gets no response from her husband. 
“Hen! That’s you!” I yell out to her, leaning back a bit. 
“LAPD, this is Wilson. Captain Nash is unaccounted for, we also have one impaled and unconscious. I’m in command. Anything you can do to help survivors on the ground level would be appreciated, ” Hen replies over the radio as I start to quickly scale down with a harness bag. 
“Copy that!” Athena quickly replies again over the radio. 
Once I get down to the ambulance, I set the bag on it and I get closer to the front of it. I quickly tie the rope to the car and pull on it ever so slightly. 
“Hey, Ravi, tension!” I call out to him and I wait a moment before leaning against the ambulance. 
I bounce on it a couple times to see how stable it is and smile when it comes out very stable. I quickly climb back to the top of the ambulance and pull the harness bag in front of me. 
“Okay. Hen, you got a harness and capture strap. Take Chimney and the patient, you send them down,” I explain to her as I throw the strap and harness in the window to her. 
“I’m headed to the van. Then I’ll get y/n. I’ll see you at the bottom,” I inform her of my plan before getting off the ambulance and heading to Eddie. 
It takes me a few minutes, but soon I make it to the van. I come to a stop next to it as Ravi looks over the side. 
“Sending down the saw!” he shouts to me before dropping me the saw bag. 
“Okay, Eddie, you in there?” I ask as I pause and listen in and he gives me a small ‘Yup’ through his groans of pain. 
“Let me get these doors open. Just shield your eyes,” I inform him before I pull the saw from the bag along with the protective glasses and start to saw at the door. 
I work for a few minutes at the door before soon I can start to pull at them. I pull one open and groan as I pause, taking the glasses off to look in at Eddie, who’s trapped under the fridge looking up at me. 
“Hey,” I pant out as I hold onto the door. 
“Any sign of Cap?” he huffs out as he struggles to breathe and I shake my head. 
“How’s y/n?” he asks and I sigh. 
“Currently, she’s bleeding out. I’m getting her next,” I inform him and he nods. 
“Sorry about this,” I apologize as I move closer to him and grab his arms. 
“Yeah. It’s gonna suck,” he comments before I pull on him. 
I pull him out and he yells out in pain as I do. Soon I’m pulling him out of the van all together and he grits his teeth. 
“Okay, I got you,” I comment as I pull him out and quickly we’re climbing down so he can get medical. 
Once he’s down standing on his own feet, some other paramedics come over to us. They get Jo first and Hen groans as she leans over before puking. 
“Hen!” Eddie yells out as we watch her double over. 
“Hey,” Eddie tells me before we both rush over to Hen, who lays flat on top of the truck she’s on. 
“I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m okay,” she groans, waving us off. 
“I’m okay. I’m pretty sure I’m just concussed,” she explains as she sits up and moves her helmet. 
“We got to get Chimney and y/n! We got to get Chimney and y/n!” she suddenly yells out as she looks back up. 
“No. Hey, hey, hey. We’ll get Chimney and y/n. Let’s get you down. Come on,” we both try to stop her as she groans. 
“Come on down. I promise I’ll get him and y/n,” I inform her as we all reach out for her. 
“We got you. We got you. Come on. No rush,” I rant as she finally starts to try and crawl down. 
“Okay. Come on. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go,” Eddie chants as he wraps her arm around his shoulder while she pants out of breath. 
“Eddie, you got her, yeah?” I ask and he nods, giving me a small ‘hmm’ as they continue to walk. 
“Okay. I’m going back for Chim and y/n. I’ll be back,” I promise and he nods. 
Just before I turn, there’s another loud, metallic creaking noise and we all turn around. My eyes widen as the ambulance starts to shake around and the van starts to look like it’ll fall any second. 
To Be Continued…

Faithie’s Tag You’re It Corner:
Share the last line of your work in progress, then tag as many people as there are words in it.
Thanks for the tag: @nurse-buckley
Lord knows I don’t get tagged very often in anything. Anyway I currently have like 4 or 5 I’m working on so I’ve decided to share them all. 😂 sorry not sorry. And not all of them are done, but I’ll do the last line I have out of what I’ve worked on so far.
The first one is the last line of my Charlie Gillespie work that I’m working on called “Lightsabers and Guitars,” this one isn’t finished yet though:
“I think your guitar may be outta tune again. Good time to practice tuning it then,” he notes and I nod as I pull out the little turner I bought
The second one is the last line of my Peter Pevensie series called “Forever Yours,” that I am working on and this is the last line that I’ve added. Again it’s not finished yet, I’m still in the process of writing these:
Peter comes up next to me and takes my hand as Edmund runs to be just in front of us. Once he’s maybe a few feet in front of us he turns around and gives me a sweet smile before giving Peter a funny face. He turns back around before fully running into the tent and I giggle as Peter shakes his head.
The third one is from my Jason Scott series that I’m working on called “It’s Me and You Forever,” and again like all the others it’s not done yet…:
“Well are you coming or not?” She shouts and I shake my head before taking my running leap as well.
Then as a small bonus here’s one from the Joe Keery fic I am working on as well. It won’t be out for a while, but I got so excited to write this one that I started on it earlier then expected:
“I…I’m sorry. You probably meant-” I start to try apologizing, but I’m cut off when he slams his lips to mine.
As always no pressure guys 💙🧡

Where Love Began (Shawn Mendes x Reader Fanfic)
Hello everybody! Lovely of you to be here, I appreciate it <3
Where Love Began is a story I created on Wattpad alongside niallforever15 {that’s her @ on Wattpad} Her Tumblr username is @faithie-brock-gillespie01. So go check her out loves! She has many books on Wattpad and posts on @fandomgirlz01 as well :) 
Where Love Began is a story in which Y/N Y/L/N is a well known social media star. She’s the social media it girl. She’s sweet and kind, the thing is she is quite in love with Shawn Mendes and has always made it known in her content. She has a spectacular voice, which opens up the door to an amazing opportunity to be the open act for Shawn’s upcoming tour. 
Shawn and Y/N hit it off and immediately became close in all ways. Read and join us on this spectacular ride, where you’ll get to sing around the world with the one and only Shawn Mendes! 
Take in mind that the first part of the book was written in 2018. So it may have characters/people that were trending at the time that are no longer in the spotlight like they once were! The story is amazing so just bare those cringe parts of the book! It's a slow burn story. It’s unique, as you’ll get to see how Shawn and Y/N’s relationship evolves. 
Love you all and enjoy this story that I enjoyed and enjoy writing. The story is not yet completed, it’s ongoing.

Summary: Colby has an important meeting to go to, but he gets a really bad stomach bug. He insists that he’s fine, but needs the reader to convince him he needs a much deserved break. Will he listen to her and take the break? What will happen if he doesn’t?

PSA: This is mostly just fluff with a little 🤏🏻 bit of angst and by a little bit I really mean a good section of it, other then that it’s mostly just fluffy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Y/n’s Pov:
I wake up to the sound of the toilet flushing and blink a few times to let my eyes adjust. I frown as I feel Colby’s side of the bed and it’s cold, meaning he’s been up for a bit. I wait for a few minutes for him to come back, but when he doesn’t I push the duvet back with furrowed brows and get up. 
I shiver lightly when my feet hit the floor, even if it is carpet, but keep walking. I walk over to the mostly closed bathroom door and knock on it. 
“Babe, you ok?” I ask as I slightly push the door open to peer in. 
“Yeah. I’m fine. Go back to bed, I’ll be there in a few, nug,” Colby groans out from the floor next to the toilet. 
“You don’t seem fine, Colby. Baby, are you sick?” I ask him as I fully walk in and over to him. 
“No. Babe, I’m fine, really,” Colby tells me and I give him a hum of disbelief as I sit down on the tub right behind him. 
“I don’t believe you. You’re sweating and by the looks of it, puking. Nobody pukes when they feel fine, babe,” I point out as I run my hand through his hair and he groans, laying his head against the porcelain of the toilet. 
“Not to mention you feel a little hot too,” I tell him as I use the back of my hand to feel his forehead lightly before running my hand through his hair again. 
“You think I’m hot, huh?” he asks with a tired smirk and I scoff playfully. 
“I definitely think you are. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be wearing this ring, but that’s not what I meant and you know it,” I tell him with a roll of my eyes as I hold up my hand, letting the ring glitter in the light of the bathroom. 
He smiles softly at me for a moment as he reaches his hand out to me and I grab onto his. He plays with my ring —that he'd given me a few weeks ago— for a moment before he lets out a groan as he leans over like he’s going to puke again, but he doesn’t. As he sits up a little more I rub his back. 
“It’s ok if you aren’t feeling well, baby. You can just take a day or two from work,” I tell him as I move my hand to scratch and run my nails over his scalp, making him sigh as he closes his eyes for a moment. 
“I can’t… I have that big meeting in the morning, remember? I have to get better,” he groans out before sitting up and puking again. 
“Oh, baby…” I coo at him as I rub his back for a moment.
“Babe. I’m sure Sam will be fine taking the meeting,” I tell him as he sits back on the floor. 
“I don’t wanna make Sammy do that. He took the meeting last week and the one the week before that,” he groans out, leaning his head against the toilet still, but now he looks up at me with sad eyes. 
“Let’s just focus on getting you better right now. If you're better in the morning, you can go, ok?” I tell him just to try to appease him so he’ll listen, and to my surprise he nods tiredly. 
“Here. I’ll be right back,” I inform him and he nods as he slumps against the side again. 
I quickly rush down to the kitchen and pour him a glass of water. I look in the pantry to see if we have crackers or something, but see nothing so I close it and decide I’ll make a trip to the store when I get a chance. I grab the glass of water and walk back up the stairs to our room. 
I walk back through our room and to the bathroom where I see him now half asleep by the toilet. I frown and set the water down before walking over to our linen closet. I grab a washcloth and get it wet with slightly cold water. 
I then walk back over to him and put the washcloth to his head, making him jump awake. He looks up at me and I smile softly back at him as I now dab the cloth to his neck. 
“Sorry, baby. I just thought the cold might help you a bit. There’s also water here for you. You think you’re ready to go back to bed?” I ask him and he slowly nods in his half sleepy haze. 
“Ok. Come on then. Let’s get you up,” I tell him and he grabs my hand. 
He flushes the toilet before slowly getting up with my help to steady him. Once he’s standing, I hand him the water and he shakes his head. 
“I want to brush my teeth first. Get this nasty taste out of my mouth,” he tells me and I nod before setting the water back on the counter. 
“Ok. You do that and I’m going to see if I can find some kind of bucket to keep by the bed, ok?” I ask him and he nods in agreement. 
I walk back out into our room and see his trash bin. I quickly go over to it and take the bag out before tying it closed and leaving it by the door to take out later. Just as I stand up straight, he shuffles back out with a small groan. 
He shuffles over to the bed and I follow behind him. He slowly gets back into the bed and when I’m sure he’s in, I pull the covers over him. He sighs when he finally feels comfortable and I smile softly at him. 
“Go back to sleep, honey. I’m going to run down to the store and get a few things. I’ll be right back,” I tell him before leaning down to leave a kiss on his forehead. 
I stand, ready to leave, but he pulls me back as he shakes his head. He holds me in place and I arch a brow at him. 
“Don’t go. It’s not safe for you to go out alone. I’ll be fine. Really, nug, stay,” he practically begs me, playing with my ring again, and I sigh. 
“Colbs, you need fluids, hon. You need to stay hydrated, not to mention foods that you can eat,” I try to make my point known and he shakes his head. 
“Don’t go,” he reiterates himself, shaking his head and I sigh. 
“Colbs. Baby. I have to,” I reiterate myself this time and he huffs, crossing his arms while pouting at me. 
“Please don’t pout. You know I’ll agree if you pout,” I tell him and run my hand through his hair as he tiredly smirks at me. 
“Kinda the point, nug,” he tells me with a playful eye roll and I sigh once again. 
“Look. Will it make you feel better if I wake Sam and ask him to come with me?” I ask and he sits up a little more as if it intrigues him. 
“It’d make me feel a whole lot better at this hour in Vegas, nug, but are you sure you wanna wake him?” he asks as he once again sinks back into the bed. 
“I guess I’ll have to if it’ll make you feel better about it. Go to sleep, I’ll be back soon,” I promise him as I scratch at his head and he sighs, sinking even further into the bed. 
“Ok. Go to sleep. Bucket’s right here if you need it. I’ll be as quick as I can,” I promise again only to smile when I get a soft hum back. 
Once I’m sure he’s asleep, I walk to the closest and put on a pull-over. I grab my purse and put on some easy slip-on shoes. When I’m done grabbing my stuff, I quietly walk over to my side of the bed and grab my phone before heading to the door. 
On the way out I grab the garbage bag to take out and when the door is shut quietly, I start walking towards Sam’s room. I knock on the door lightly and it takes a minute, but soon he’s opening the door. 
“Oh, you're already up. So I didn’t wake you. Good,” I comment and he nods. 
“Yeah, me and Kat decided to watch a movie tonight. What’s up?” he asks and I peek in to see Kat sitting on the bed, playing on her phone. 
“Hi, Kat!” I shout to her and she smiles while looking up at me before giving a small wave. 
“Hi, y/n,” she replies and I wave back at her. 
“So what’s up?” Sam asks and I giggle. 
“Oh, yeah. Colby’s pretty sick and we have nothing in this new house for sick people. I was going to run to the store to get stuff, but-” I start to explain and Sam shakes his head. 
“Colby told you not to go alone, huh?” he asks and I nod. 
“Yeah. So I promised him I’d ask you to tag along,” I agree with him and he chuckles. 
“Babe," he says to Kat. "Do you care if I go to the store with y/n?”
“No. Go ahead. Can you get me a Hickory sticks please?” Kat asks him and he nods as he picks up his keys. 
“Alright. Let’s go then,” he tells me before stepping out of the room and closing the door behind him. 
“How sick exactly is he?” Sam asks as we walk out of the house and to his car. 
“I think it’s a stomach bug. He went to bed not feeling too well, but was convinced it’d go away. I just woke up like maybe fifteen to twenty minutes ago to him puking,” I explain as he unlocks the car and I open my door to slide into the passenger side seat. 
“I’m going to need to get us a new thermometer too. I have no idea where ours went after the move,” I comment as he starts the car up and pulls out onto the road. 
“Let me guess, he’s insisting on going to the meeting tomorrow?” Sam asks quickly, looking at me for a moment before looking back to the road and I sigh. 
“Yeah. He won’t listen to reason. I told him I was sure you’d be ok with taking it if he’s sick, but you know Colbs,” I tell him and he hums in agreement while turning his blinker on. 
“I told him that we’d see in the morning, but I’m definitely not letting him go,” I finished and he nods in agreement. 
“I wouldn’t be letting him go either. It’s ok, I’ll take it,” he promises me and I sigh in relief that he’s on my side. 
“Thank you, Sam,” I tell him and he nods, reaching down for my hand to give it a soft squeeze. 
“You’re welcome. I know Colby can be a little difficult when he’s sick. He just sometimes doesn’t get when he needs breaks. I’m glad he has you to make him take them,” he tells me as he parks the car and turns it off. 
“Well, I did agree to in sickness and in health, or at least I will be in a few months,” I tell him with a shrug and Sam grins, nodding before unbuckling himself. 
“And I’m excited for you guys. I bet you’ll look super beautiful in your dress. So beautiful, Colby may cry,” he jokes and I giggle. 
“Colby, cry? Whatever are you talking about?” I joke back and he rolls his eyes as he lets out a groan. 
“Oh, he’ll cry alright…” he adds on and I giggle smiling. 
“Thank you, Sam. I’m sure he will,” I tell him and he nods as he pushes his door open. 
We both get out and walk over to the store. 
“Wanna split up then meet back at the till’s?” I ask him and he purses his lips as I grab a basket. 
“It’ll get us done quicker and home sooner, Sammy,” I tell him with a giggle as I walk a little further into the store and he shakes his head. 
“Deal, but meet back in exactly ten minutes,” he tells me, pointing a finger at me and I giggle. 
“Fifteen minutes tops,” I playfully tell him and he rolls his eyes. 
“Fine, fifteen minutes, but right back here,” Sam says and I nod in agreement, smiling at him. 
I then quickly turn and start to walk to the aisle I know the thermometer will be in. I walk down to the whole wall of medicines, quickly looking over them just to see if there’s one that could help Colby, but unfortunately find none. 
“He’s just going to have to ride this one out,” I think to myself as I move a little further down the aisle to look for the thermometer. I look over the many different options and read through the information on the back of some of them before deciding which I want. 
I grab one and quickly set it in the basket before fully standing up from where I had crouched down. I quickly look at my watch and see I have about ten more minutes till I have to meet up with Sam. I decide to go over to get him crackers and some soup. 
I also get him some cold and hot therapeutic ice packs, some 7up and Gatorade, as well as some jello and pudding. Last I grab a multi pack of toothbrushes, knowing he’ll probably want a new one after it’s last use. 
Once I’m sure I have everything, I head back towards the tills only to find Sam already paying. He looks up just as I walk up to the self checkout and smiles, making me giggle. I quickly scan the items and pay, then put it all in the bag I keep in my purse. 
Sam finishes before me and waits at the end of the self checkout. I quickly grab the receipt and my bag of stuff before walking over to meet him. 
“Ready to go?” he asks and I nod. 
“Yeah. Let’s go,” I tell him as we start to walk. 
We walk out of the store and start down the aisle he parked on as my phone starts to ring. I look at Sam in confusion and he shrugs as I move the bag from my right hand to my left. I pull my phone out to see it’s Kat calling and answer as we continue walking. 
“Hey. What’s up?” I ask her and I hear her huff. 
“So, I went in to check on Colby just because I thought I should, and he’s like really burning up,” she explains in a rushed tone and Sam takes the bags from my hands. 
He opens his trunk and puts the bags in before turning to look at me as I talk to his girlfriend. Sam arches an eyebrow at me for a moment as he waits to know what’s going on. 
“How hot is his forehead?” I ask and she clicks her tongue as Sam stands up a little straighter at the sound of her panic. 
“Too hot. I couldn’t even really touch his forehead. I don’t know what to do. He’s really out of it too. Thought I was you,” she explains in a panicked, rushed tone. 
“Colby, no! Put it back on your head!” Kat shouts and I look up at Sam in a panic. 
He nods at me before rushing around his side and I rush to mine. Sam quickly gets in and lets me in. I buckle in while Sam starts the car up and quickly starts to pull out of the parking space. 
“Kat. Do you think you can get him in a cold bath?” I ask her in my calmest voice. 
“I have him keeping a cold cloth on his head, but I may need Sam’s help to get him in the tub,” she tells me and I nod, biting my lip. 
“Ok. Well keep him drinking water and keep the wash cloth as cold as you can. We’re just down the street. Should be home here in a bit,” I calmly explain what she needs to do. 
“Ok. See you in a bit,” she replies and I let out a sigh. 
“See you in a minute,” I agree before hanging my phone back up. 
“How’d you know to do that?” Sam asks as he continues to drive and I start to fidget in my seat. 
“How’d I know to do what?” I ask him as I fidget with my ring while sitting up as straight as I can. 
“To put him in a cold bath?” Sam clarifies and I bite at my lip. 
“Ahh… when I was little, I’d get really bad fevers and it’d get to the point where I’d almost start seizing. So when I got super close the first time, my dad rushed me to the bathroom and held me in an ice cold bath,” I explain and Sam’s eyes widen a little. 
“Oh. Shit. Y/n, that’s crazy. Did they ever stop?” he gasps in shock before moving onto his question and I sigh. 
“The cold baths help get the fever down most of the time. They usually happen in kids, but the occasional adult can seize with no signs of problems. I haven’t had one since before meeting Colby,” I continue to explain and Sam shakes his head. 
“Does he know about this?” Sam asks and I puff out a breath. 
“Yes, Sam, he knows. I told him in case I do indeed have one when he’s around so he’ll know what to do,” I tell him in an anxious tone. 
“Ok. He’ll be ok, ya know,” Sam says and I jump. 
“If he starts to seize while we’re away, he’ll need a hospital, Sam,” I tell him and he shakes his head. 
“And he won’t. Kat's got him, she'll keep him good till we get there. Plus, we’re almost there,” he tells me in a reassuring tone and I shake my head. 
“You can’t know that…” I tell him and he sighs. 
“Y/n. I do know that. It’s Colby,” Sam replies and I sigh, nodding. 
“Let’s just get home, please,” I practically beg and he nods back. 
Soon before I know it, Sam is pulling up to the house and he doesn’t even get a chance to park as I throw my door open. I quickly get out and head inside, rushing to our room. 
“Oh, y/n! You're here, good. He’s a little out of it,” Kat tells me as I walk in. 
“Nugget! Where you been, huh? Come cuddle?” Colby shouts excitedly, holding his arms out for me. 
“Not right now, hon. First we gotta take your temperature, ok?” I ask him as Sam walks in with all the bags. 
“Oh my gosh. I’m sorry, Sam. I completely forgot,” I tell him as he sets the bags down. 
“It’s no problem, y/n. You're good,” he tells me as he walks over to me. 
“Go run him that cold bath. I’ll help Kat carry him into the bathroom. Do you think you’ll need my help actually getting him into the tub?” Sam asks and I shake my head. 
“I think I can possibly coerce him in. If not, I’ll let you know,” I answer and he nods before I walk off into the bathroom. 
I quickly turn the water on and turn it to the coldest it’ll go. I test it for a second, nodding to myself when it feels nice and cold. The door opens as Sam and Kat walk in, each with one of Colby’s arms wrapped around their shoulder. 
“You got him from here?” Sam asks as I take the arm he’s holding. 
“I should. I’ll shout if I need you,” I tell him and he nods. 
“Ok. We’ll go put your cold stuff away for you,” Sam informs me as he picks up the bag of drinks. 
“Ok. Thank you,” I agree with him, nodding and he smiles softly at me. 
“It’s no problem at all, y/n. Call me if you need anything,” he says one last time and I nod before he and Kat walk out. 
“Colbs. Baby. I need you to start undressing please,” I tell him, and he smiles, confusing me. 
“Baby! You're home,” he says and I sigh. 
“Yes, hon. I’m home. Now, help me undress you, please?” I ask him and he smirks lazily. 
“You wanna get me naked…” he says as he slowly bounces his eyebrows at me and I groan. 
“No, baby. Not right now. We need to get your temperature down, so you need to get into the bath,” I try explaining to him, but he seems to zone out. 
“Colby?” I ask with a frown and he starts to sway a bit. 
“Ok… woah. Woah. Woah. Let’s just sit you down, baby,” I tell him as I softly guide him back to the closed toilet. 
I set him down on it and look down at him for a moment before playing with his hair. He still looks distant for a second before his eyes close and I sigh softly before reaching down to the bottom of his shirt. 
“Arms up, babe,” I command gently as I tap his side. I smile softly as he does as I ask before I slowly and carefully pull his tank off. 
“Ok. Now your pants, baby,” I again command as I tap his leg before reaching for his waist. 
He continues to space out as I pull his sweats off his legs. I look up at him and it seems he starts to sway. 
“Ok, baby. We need to get you in. I’m leaving your boxers on. I promise I’ll get you a new pair after,” I tell him and I expect him to make another joke about me getting him naked, but he doesn’t, making me frown. 
“Ok. Come on,” I lightly command as I pull him up off the seat. 
We walk over to the tub and I quickly make sure it’s still cold. I then pull him a little closer in hopes he’ll step into it. 
“Colbs, honey. You need to get in,” I tell him and he finally lifts his left leg. 
“Damn, that’s cold,” he points out and I let a small smile fall on my face. 
“I know, my love, but you have to get in farther,” I tell him, but he doesn’t reply as he slowly starts to sway. 
“Colby, please get into the tub. You have one foot in, now the other one,” I coach him softly and he listens, putting his other foot in. 
“Ok. Now sink down, baby. The water should bring your temp down significantly,” I command him and he slowly does with my help. 
Once in, he sits back for a moment before he shivers lightly. He finally seems to clear up as he looks over at me. 
“Oh hi, baby,” he comments and I giggle, lightly shaking my head. 
“Hi, hun. How you feeling?” I ask him as I now smooth back his hair. 
“Cold and like I’m sick,” he groans out and I giggle lightly. 
“Well. I think your temperature has gone down. I’m going to check just in case though,” I tell him and he nods as he starts to shiver a little more. 
I walk out of the bathroom and over to the bags Sam had left before rooting through them. It takes me a moment, but I soon find the thermometer I’d bought and take it out of the bag. Once I have the box, I start back to the bathroom while trying to open it. 
“Uggh. Dumb box,” I mutter as I walk back in and Colby smiles softly at me before lifting his hand out of the water. 
“Give it here, baby,” he opens and closes his shaking hand as a way of telling me to give it to him. 
“Are you sure?” I ask him and he chuckles again. 
“I may be cold and sick, nug, but I can still help you even then,” he jokes, rolling his eyes playfully and I smile, glad he’s back to somewhat normal. 
“Okay. Here you go then,” I tell him as I set the box in his hand. 
His hand closes around it before he’s pulling it back towards himself. His other hand comes out of the water and he effortlessly pulls the tab of the box open. With a smirk, he hands it back to me and I giggle as I take it from him. 
“Thank you, my love,” I tell him as I stand and leave a kiss on his head, making him cringe. 
“Baaaaabe!” he dramatically groans and I giggle as I quickly start to pull the thermometer out of the box. 
“What?” I ask, pretending I didn’t do anything and he rolls his eyes as I walk up to him. 
“You’re lucky I want to spend forever with you or I’d be gone after that,” he tells me and I playfully gasp. 
“Over a forehead kiss?” I dramatically ask as I put a hand to my heart. 
“Yes. Over a forehead kiss. Nug, you know what I always say…” he trails off and I hum in fake agreement. 
“Open your mouth, Colbs,” I tell him as I flick the thermometer lightly like the instructions tell me to and he does. 
“Ok. Under the tongue, babe,” I tell him and he rolls his eyes. 
“Those are the worst thermometers…” he comments and I giggle. 
“But it was the best one there,” I explain and he rolls his eyes again in exaggeration. 
I put it in his mouth and leave it in for a moment. After the moment is up, I lean back over to take it out of his mouth and look over it. 
“Says you're down to at least 102 now, so you should be good to get out,” I tell him and he sighs, throwing his head back. 
“Thank God. That shit was cold,” he exclaims as he stands up and I pass him his towel. 
“I know. I’m sorry. We can go cuddle in bed and warm you up now, though,” I tell him and he smiles tiredly at me. 
“That sounds wonderful, nug,” he tells me and I nod. 
“Ok. Then get out of your wet boxers and get changed into some other clothes, then we can,” I tell him and he nods. 
I go to walk out of the bathroom, but he pulls me back and I giggle when I see confusion on his face. He gives me a light pout and I poke his stomach. 
“What?” I ask him and he flicks my hand playfully but tiredly. 
“Where are you going?” he asks as he frowns again and I giggle. 
“I am going to get you some crackers and 7up. I promise I’ll be right back for those cuddles, but you need food in your system,” I explain to him as I poke at his stomach again and he shakes his head. 
“Ok, but hurry back… I want cuddles…” he agrees with a puppy dog look and I giggle. 
“There’s my sick cuddle bear. I was worried about him there for a moment. You were pretty out of it,” I admit as I put a hand on my hip. 
“Honestly I don’t really remember getting in,” he admits back and I sigh. 
“Symptoms of a very high fever, babe. I’m just happy you didn’t start having a seizure,” I tell him and he sighs. 
“I’m sorry you even know that, baby girl,” he apologizes and I shrug. 
“Don’t be sorry. Not like you ever made me get high fevers,” I tell him with a soft smile. 
“Ok. I’m going to get the crackers and 7up. I’ll be right back,” I promise him and he smiles at me. 
“You better be!” he jokes as I walk out, shaking my head. 
I walk down to the kitchen and grab a 7up along with a pack of the crackers. Once I have the stuff, I walk back up to our room and set it all down on Colby’s side table. I frown when I hear the toilet flush and Colby groan again. 
I quickly walk back to the bathroom only to find him where I’d found him earlier on. He once again sits with his head leaning against the toilet. 
“Oh, baby,” I coo as I go over to him, making him look up at me. 
“You feel like you're done?” I ask as I crouch down and rub his back soothingly. 
“Yeah, I might be,” he groans out before he sighs, leaning his head against the side of the toilet. 
“Ok. Let’s get you up and back to bed then,” I tell him as I rub the top of his back. 
“Come on, baby. Let’s go cuddle,” I comment as I help him stand up. 
“Do you wanna brush your teeth again?” I ask him and he shakes his head. 
“Just water, I don’t have the energy to brush right now,” he sluggishly tells me and I shrug, nodding. 
“That’s perfectly fine, my love,” I reassure him as best as I can before starting the walk to our bed. 
I guide him slowly over and help him sit down before he moves to lay down. He cuddles into his pillow and sighs. I smile softly before standing straight and taking a step over to the door, but Colby grabs onto my hand. 
“Nug, where ya going? I thought we were gonna cuddle?” he asks as he holds my hand so I won’t leave. 
“We are, honey, I promise. I was just going to get the 7up and crackers. I’ll be right back. They’re just on the table by the door,” I tell him and he nods, letting me go. 
I give him a soft smile before continuing over to our bedroom door. I quickly grab the two items and walk back over to place them on his bedside table. I then walk around the bed and pull the covers back before getting in. 
Colby smiles sheepishly at me as he holds his arms open and I giggle, laying down as he wraps them around me. I reach up and start scratching at his scalp and he lets out a sigh with his eyes closing. 
“I’m going to watch some tv. You ok with that, babe?” I ask him and he just tiredly hums. 
I grab the remote and turn the tv on and just watch mindless tv for a bit. Before I know it, my eyes start to slowly close and I’m lolled into a deep sleep. 
~Time Skip~
I scrunch up my face as I wake up to a light turning on in our dark room. I sit up and sigh when I don’t find Colby in bed again. I look over at the clock to see it says eight o’clock. 
With a sigh, I look over at where the light is coming from and see that it’s the closet light. I shake my head before getting up and walking over to the closet. I lean against the door frame with my arms crossed, watching as Colby gets dressed, but he doesn’t notice me and continues on. 
“What do you think you are doing?” I ask out loud and he startles, jumping ever so slightly. 
“Babe! You scared me,” he comments before going back to what he was doing. 
“I’m sorry, that wasn’t my intention. But what are you getting dressed for?” I ask him with a raised eyebrow and he gives me a sheepish look as he rubs at his neck. 
“Nothing…” he tries and I shake my head, making him sigh. 
“Fine… I was getting ready for the meeting…” he admits to me like a scared child would. 
“Oh no, you are not. You are not going anywhere. Change back into your sweats because you're not going anywhere,” I sternly tell him and he sighs. 
“Nug. I have to go. I can’t let Sammy take it again,” he practically pleads with me and I shake my head. 
“Colby. Sam already told me he’d take it. Now I’m not asking, I'm putting my foot down, babe. You almost had a seizure. I am not letting you out of the house until this bug passes,” I inform him in as stern of a tone I can. 
“Ok. Ok. Nug, I’ll change…” he agrees before coming over to me and wiping a tear I didn’t even realize fell. 
“I won’t leave. Sam can take it. I’m sorry,” he apologizes as he pulls me into a loose hug and I nod. 
“Thank you. I’m sorry, too. Just seeing it rather than being the one going through it…” I try to explain and he nods. 
“And it was you going through it… it just… it scared me, I guess,” I finish and he nods softly in understanding. 
“I’m so sorry I scared you, nug. I promise, I’ll stay right here with you until this bug is gone,” he tells me and I tighten my arms around him in thanks. 
“Ok. Go lay down, I'll be right there. Let me just change outta these jeans,” he says as he pulls back from our hug to look at me and I nod softly. 
He lets go of me and I sniffle lightly as I walk back to our bed. I get in and lay there for a few minutes, waiting for him to join me. Soon he comes back into our room, turning off the light of the closet before coming over and getting into the bed with me. 
He pauses as he sits before bending over and grabbing his trash bin. He pukes into it and I quickly jump to a sitting upright position to rub his back. 
“It’s ok, baby. Let it out,” I tell him and soon he finishes, picking his head up to look at me. 
“Give me the bin, babe,” I say, holding my hands out. 
“No. I can take care of it, nug,” he groans out and I sigh. 
“Colby, just give me the can. You don’t have the energy to take care of it. I’ll just go dump it and rinse it. I can handle it,” I tell him and he sighs, nodding tiredly before putting it into my hands. 
“Eat some of those crackers while I’m gone. I’ll be right back,” I promise him as I stand and head to the bathroom. 
As I walk over, I smile softly when I hear the packaging rustle, meaning he’s opening them before fully walking into the bathroom. I quickly dump the contents into the toilet before rinsing it in the bathtub. Once that’s done, I walk over and wash my hands of the germs before grabbing the bin and walking back out. 
“Ok. Here’s the bin, babe,” I tell him as I pass it back and he sets it back on the floor. 
“Thank you for taking such good care of me, nug,” he says as we both lay back down. 
“Always, Colby. In sickness and health in a few months, right? Why not start a little earlier,” I say with a playful shrug and he chuckles. 
“Are you done eating your crackers? Think you wanna get some more sleep now?” I ask him and he nods, cuddling me a little closer. 
“Sleep sounds wonderful, nug,” he mutters before sighing tiredly. 
“Then sleep, my love. Sleep,” I tell him as I rub at his belly. 
“Alright. Good night, nug. I love you,” he tells me and I smile softly as I continue to rub his stomach. 
“I love you too, Colby. Sleep,” I whisper as I cuddle ever so slightly closer. 
I wait till his breath evens out and pull the blankets up a little higher. Soon my eyes slowly start to close as I listen to his heartbeat and I fall into a peaceful sleep. 
The End.

Author's note: I will be changing this chapter up a bit more from the video. The last few chapters have stuck pretty closely to the videos, but this one might be changing up just a bit for me to fit it into the story. I will also be attempting to talk about aura stuff again, but I’ve never studied that stuff or anything so you guys who do, please just bear with me and if I say something incorrect please please please educate me on it. I will never ever pass up if you guys tell me something is wrong in what I’ve written, I will simply just try my best to go back and fix it. So please just bear with me and enjoy the story.

Y/n’s Pov:
After a few minutes, Amanda is the first to move as she takes a step back and the rest of us look up. Sam stands behind me as Colby stands off to the side with the camera on us. Amanda steps back a little ways from us as Stas moves next to Sam now. 
“I just put protection over y/n, Stas and Kat. Nothing is allowed to touch you, nothing is allowed to come near you,” she promises us as she explains to the camera what she’d just done before pausing. 
“You might see things-” Amanda starts again before Stas speaks up, cutting her off as one of the bells makes a small chime sound. 
“Dude it’s just- I can’t. That freaked me out,” Stas comments as she reaches out to the bell. 
“That I can’t stop,” Amanda finishes as Sam holds up another bell. 
“Someone’s gotta go upstairs and put some up there,” he comments, holding a bell out. 
“I’ll do it,” Amanda adds as she reaches for the bell from Sam. 
“Someone’s gotta help you, though,” Sam tells her and everyone looks around for a moment. 
“I mean he’s got a point. You can’t do the entire upstairs alone. I’ll come with you,” Colby speaks up as he reaches out to grab some bells from Sam. 
“What about y/n?” Sam asks as he hands him the bells. 
“I can go with them. Just have to stay with Colby,” I inform and Colby turns, smiling at me. 
“That’s a good idea, babe,” Colby agrees with me and I smile softly at him. 
“Ok. Then let’s go,” Amanda agrees before heading towards the stairs. 
Colby looks at me as if questioning if I’m ready and I hesitantly nod. He smiles softly at me before grabbing my hand and I give him a confused look. He keeps a calm smile on his face as he gently puts my hand on his back, right next to his back belt loop. 
I smile in understanding as I loop my finger through the loop. He grins this time before leaning back a bit to kiss my cheek. 
“Come on. Let’s go babe,” he comments as he starts to walk and I smile softly before following him in the direction Amanda had gone. 
We meet up with her next to the stairs and she goes up a few of them as we stop at the bottom. She turns to us, holding her bell out. 
“We've got the duty of going upstairs,” Colby comments humorously and he smiles. 
“How did we get so lucky?” Amanda jokes back, making both me and Colby laugh. 
��I know. The most haunted spot,” Colby comments back and I feel a shiver go down my neck as we start the rest of the way up the stairs.
We make it up the stairs and decide to split up and go separate ways. Colby and I go and hang some on one side of the upstairs as Amanda goes the other way. Once we’re done, Colby checks in on me and smiles once I tell him I’m doing ok. 
When he knows I’m fine, we decide to meet up with Amanda in the middle. We walk up to her as she hangs her last bell on the door handle on the outside of the small hall to the birthing room. 
“There’s something in that back room,” she informs us as we come up next to her.
“I just watched it,” she finishes as she continues to tie the string to the door. 
Once she’s done, she stands straight and walks back into the room. Colby and I follow her as she grabs another bell from the bed. 
“I haven’t told Stas yet or you, y/n, I told you guys before we even came here when I was giving you a low down on the spirits,” she explains to us while playing with the string in her hand as she looks at Colby, who gives a small ‘yeah,’ in conformation. 
“They disguise themselves as children and pets,” Amanda continues explaining and Colby agrees, repeating ‘that they disguise themselves,’ in awe as he remembers what she’d said. 
“That’s why she goes ‘I just saw the little boy,’ and I let her know that was not a-” Amanda explains but pauses and Colby interjects. 
“That was not a little boy,” Colby adds in shock and Amanda closes her eyes for a moment before opening them again. 
“Was not a little boy,” she repeats in confirmation of what Colby said. 
“So when we first came there were two children I told you about, right?” she asks and Colby nods as she takes a step back, beginning to play with the string in her hand. 
“Right. Right. They were happy, right? They were like, trying to like, play games?” Colby asks for confirmation and Amanda gets happy as she explains farther. 
“Yeah. One of them was shy. The little girl was shy, but the boy, he kept like, peeking his head around the corner like…” she describes as she motions what she’s trying to explain. 
“Like, are you gonna come chase me?” she continues to explain and Colby nods in agreement, giving a very audible ‘yeah.’
“So I think it’s insane that when the negative thing came through it disguised himself as a little boy,” Amanda tells us with an expression full of awe. 
“And Stas, as scared as she was, would feel more comfortable with it because I told her about the little boy here,” Amanda explains as she points to herself. 
“Manda?” I ask, moving around Colby and hugging on his arm. 
“Yeah? What’s up, y/n?” she asks me, giving Colby and I a small smile.
“Do you think Stas’s little boy could be the one taking interest in me?” I ask and she gasps as her face lights up. 
“That’s a very real possibility. Did you feel sick or anything when she said she’d seen him?” she asks and I take a moment to think it over. 
“Well, now that you mention it, no, but me and Colby were connected then. He was cuddled up to me behind the camera,” I explain and she nods vigorously. 
“I think you might have a point. It could have been him trying to get to you,” she agrees, nodding. 
“The little girl could possibly have been the lady that was pointing at you earlier too,” she explains and my face falls. 
“So he can change forms, great,” I roll my eyes and Colby rubs my arm lightly. 
“I’m right here. He can’t hurt you while I’m here and Amanda put a protection over you, but I get it if you want to leave. I’ll take you home right now,” Colby tells me but I sigh, shaking my head. 
“No. You’re right. He can’t hurt me. I’ll be okay,” I promise him with a nod and he smiles softly. 
“Okay, but at any point if you want to leave, just tell me,” he informs me and I nod. 
“I promise I will,” I tell him softly before reaching up on my tip-toes to leave a kiss on his cheek. 
“Ok. Let’s finish putting these up, then we can go back to the rest of the group,” Amanda comments before moving away to start hanging the last few bells. 
We hang a few more and I stay with Colby the whole time. He walks over to the closet and pulls it open. 
“Oh my God,” he exclaims as he looks into it. 
“What?” Me and Amanda ask in unison. 
“This closet is huge. It goes like, all the way around. It’s like a secret crawl space area,” Colby says in shock as he looks into the deep closet. 
“This house has-” Amanda starts, but pauses to listen. “Did you hear that in there?” she asks after a moment, making Colby turn around. 
“No. What was that? I missed it,” Colby comments before going quiet so we can all listen. 
“Can you hear the walking?” Amanda asks as she looks up at us and I nod while Colby gives out a very audible ’yeah’. 
“That’s the exact room that when we walked up here I told you something was back there,” Amanda tells us in amazement and I shiver lightly. 
“I don’t like that…” I speak out and Colby nods before reaching down for my hand. 
He squeezes my hand softly as we all stay quiet for a moment. When we clearly can’t hear the sound anymore, Colby stands straight and starts to look around again. I follow him over to the bedside table and together we look at what’s on it. 
“They got a bunch of things that little kids would like to play with here, too. Like toy cars, jellybeans?” Colby comments as he lets go of my hand for a moment to pick the car up before smacking the pack of jelly beans. The car then starts to roll back off the table, but Colby quickly catches it before setting it back down. 
“Babe. Don’t do that, what if the spirits like, get mad at you for messing with their stuff,” I lightly admonish him as I slap his arm and he chuckles. 
“It’s not like I took them. Just gave them a small little tap,” he replies and I shake my head, rolling my eyes. 
“Oh, put the car on the ground,” Amanda speaks up as she turns to us. 
“Ok,” Colby agrees as he picks it back up and together we both turn around. 
“Let’s find out,” Colby comments as he steps back to watch it with the camera. 
We watch the car for a moment but nothing happens, so Colby bends down and scoops it up off the floor with a quick ‘alright,’. He walks back over to the table and sets it back down before turning to me and offering his hand. Colby, Amanda, and I start walking though towards the stairs. 
“Woah. Woah. Wait. Amanda, do you mind talking about some more details about ghosts real quick?” he asks and she smiles, nodding. 
“Of course,” she sweetly answers and Colby grins. 
“Sweet. Ok, ah… sweetheart, do you mind holding the camera for me?” Colby asks and I smile softly at him before nodding and holding my hand out to him. 
“Thanks, babe,” he tells me after handing it off to me and kissing my cheek. 
“Ok… the number one question people wanna know is like, what do these spirits or entities or demons whatever you see look like?” Colby asks her as he claps his hands together. 
“Are they happy, are they expressionless, is it as clear as, like, a person that you're seeing?” Colby asks, using his hands to animate his words. 
“It doesn’t look like a person, but it’ll be as clear as like, if you were just standing there dressed in all black,” she explains, motioning with her head where she means.
“I grew up with a spirit in my home and I-” she starts to say before pausing and turning along with Colby when there’s a thump in the back of the room.
We all pause and listen for a moment. The sound soon becomes distinct and we can tell it’s the others of our group. 
“Oh god, they're coming upstairs,” Colby breathes out in relief as we hear their distinctive footsteps and voices now. 
“Geez, we’re literally talking about demons and that happens, not down,” Amanda comments as Colby lets out a big puff of air. 
“The demon I grew up with in my house… looks like a person most of the time. He was much, much taller, much, much thinner and he had red eyes,” Amanda continues to explain just as Sam walks into the room and she looks over at him. 
“I saw a spirit when I was with you and you asked me to describe it,” Amanda adds on and Colby nods as Sam walks farther into the room. 
“Yeah. At the Lizzy Borden house,” he clarifies as he nods and so does she. 
“It was extremely tall, probably seven feet tall, very, very thin. Like unhumanly thin,” she tells us before pausing to look at Sam. 
“Are we ready to head to the seance room?” Sam asks and we all nod. 
“Here. I can take the camera and set it up,” Sam tells me as he comes over and takes it from me. 
He then walks back over to the stairs and starts to head down so he can set it up. I walk over to Colby and he smiles softly at me as he reaches his hand out to me. I grin and grab onto his hand. He gently pulls me along as we follow the others back down the stairs. 
Once we’re in the seance room, we all sit down and Colby sits down first, gently pulling me onto his lap for a moment and cuddles me. 
“You doing okay?” he mumbles into my ear as he leaves a light kiss on my neck. 
“Yeah. I’m fine. I’ve been absolutely fine the whole time you’ve been with me,” I whisper back to him and I feel him smile against my neck. 
“Good. I love you,” he mumbles back and I smile, squeezing his hand that sits on my stomach. 
“I love you, too, nugget. Always,” I reply and he nuzzles into my shoulder. 
“Okay. I think we’re ready. Enough canoodling, you two,” Sam jokes as he playfully rolls his eyes, making Colby and I laugh. 
“Okay. Okay. Can we please get this started?” Stas asks and Colby groans. 
“Fine,” Colby groans out as he lets go of me so I can get off his lap. 
“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be right here next to you the whole time. Wanna hold hands?” I ask as I take the spot right next to him and hold my hand out to him. 
“How well do you know me? Of course I wanna hold hands,” Colby quips as he grabs my hand and I giggle as we hide them behind ourselves. 
Kat laughs as she sits down next to me on my left and Stas sits to her left and they grab each other's hands. Sam sits down to Colby’s right and Amanda sits in the chair to the right of Sam with her headphones in her hand along with a notebook. 
“Okay, are we ready to start?” Sam asks and we all nod. 
“Okay, then. We are in the seance room,” Sam explains for the camera, “Where Ed Lorraine Warren performed a seance on Carolyn and she literally levitated.”
“She is going to wear noise canceling headphones on a spirit box,” Sam points to Amanda before pointing to his own ear. “Basically letting us know whatever she hears. We’re gonna be asking questions, kinda as we were saying we have ping pong balls, bells all over the place, the entire house.”
“Upstairs as well,” Colby adds, pointing up before grabbing my hand behind our backs again. 
“So if we hear anything happening, we’ll be able to catch it,” Sam continues while Colby rubs my hand a bit and I have to hold myself back from cuddling more into him. 
“Starting this recording, see if we catch any evps,” Sam states as he holds the device he’s using out for the camera to see before he sets it on the ground. 
“It just said Borden,” Amanda speaks just as Sam sits back. 
“Borden?” Colby questions, his eyes widening ever so slightly as Sam quickly looks at him with his hand over his lips. 
“We just said that they were very similar cases,” Sam comments in shock as he looks at Colby, who agrees. 
“Okay. We’re going to turn on this other spirit box, put it right here just in case we get things on it as well,” Sam explains to the camera as he holds the device up and out to the camera. 
“Okay. Should we start asking questions?” Colby asks Sam, who nods. 
“Yeah, let’s start,” Colby agrees and Sam nods. 
“Okay. Ah, is there any spirit here that wants to talk to us?” Sam asks out into the air and we all stay quiet as we wait. 
Colby turns and looks up at a corner behind me. I squeeze his hand and he squeezes mine. We stay quiet for a little more and I push the feeling of cuddling up to his side away. 
“Can you please, like move something?” Sam again asks into the air and it’s quiet for a moment. 
“Not Colby,” Amanda almost yells out as Sam looks at Colby, shocked. 
“Isn’t that silly?” Sam asks as he points at the device on the floor. 
“Kill,” comes an ominous voice from the device and Colby’s mouth falls open, as does mine. He turns to the camera before looking at me. 
“Wait… Wait… Wait. Did that just say what I think it did?” I ask and Colby slowly nods to confirm my question. 
“Are you a bad spirit?” Sam asks and it goes quiet again. 
“Kill Colby?” Colby questions and I shake my head. 
“That’s what it sounded like…” I tell him as I tighten my hold on his hand. 
“All only here,” Amanda speaks and we all listen as carefully as we can. 
“Is there anything here that can give us a sign at all? We have bells around this entire house. If you can, just make them ring. We want to talk to you,” Colby calls out and we all pause. 
Some time passes and it just stays quiet. I continue to keep Colby’s hand tightly gripped in mine.
“I don’t like this…” I whisper into his ear and he nods in agreement. 
“It’s okay. I’m right here,” Colby replies back as he rubs my hand and it again goes quiet for a while. 
“There’s someone here with us,” Amanda informs us as Sam sets the device he had in his hand down on the ground. 
“Can you make yourself known if you're here with us?” Sam questions and then there’s a faint shuffle sound. 
Colby looks up in shock, first he looks at me, then he turns to Sam, who looks back at him with the same amount of shock. Katrina holds the phone, but after giving me a look she leans back a bit and lays the phone on her thigh. She grabs my hand and holds it like she holds Stas’s. She squeezes my hand and it helps my worry only slightly. 
“Woah, what was that?” Colby asks as he looks at Sam again. 
“There was a huge crack,” Sam comments as he and Colby turn away from looking at each other. 
“It sounded like a shuffle almost,” Colby comments. “Was that you that just made that noise?” he goes on to ask and I squeeze his hand again. 
“Yes,” comes Amanda’s voice and Colby jumps. 
“Yes?” Sam asks Amanda and she nods at him as Stas lets out an “oh,” while bringing her hand up to her lips. 
“Can you make a noise closer to us? We’d love for you to come sit with us,” Sam asks the spirit, making us give each other worried looks. Amanda shakes her head no and rubs her chest. 
“Um… no… no,” Kat tells him, shaking her head at him. “Sam, we can’t do that,” Kat continues to tell him while still shaking her head and he just lightly grins. 
“Sam, let’s not do that, unless you want to switch spots with me right now,” Stas informs him in a very matter of fact tone and suddenly the sick feeling I’ve had throughout the day comes back. 
“Y/n is literally shaking after that, Sam, no,” Kat sternly comments as both her and Colby rub my hands. 
“I’m okay. Just had a small bout of that sick feeling,” I inform them and Colby shakes his head. 
“Sam, I second not inviting the spirit. If it’s gonna affect y/n, we don’t do it,” Colby sternly agrees with Kat and I shake my head. 
“Colby. Hon, I’m okay. Honestly,” I inform him, squeezing his hand for more reassurance. 
“Yo, is my chest red?” Amanda cuts in to ask as she scratches at her chest. “It felt like something just scratched me,” Amanda tells us.
“No. It doesn’t look red,” Kat replies, shaking her head. 
“Ok. That scratch just felt like something is mad,” Amanda adds in and the chill of sickness comes back ever so slightly, but goes away as quickly.
“We know you’re in this room with us. Can you show yourself?” Colby asks as he rubs at his chin with his other hand and both Kat and I quickly look at him. 
“Babe, why are you asking it to show itself? No,” I tell him, shaking my head before it goes quiet again and Colby lightly rubs my lower back.
“I’m here,” Amanda calls out and the sick feeling comes back for the millionth time, except this time it stays even though Colby still holds my hand. 
“He’s here,” Amanda continues to say what she hears. 
“Who’s here?” I ask, looking at Colby and growing a little more scared as the sick feeling slowly intensifies.
Colby shrugs as it goes quiet and stays that way. After a while of nothing coming through, Sam decides to switch places with Amanda. Colby picks up the device Sam had put on the ground, then scoots down to the end of the couch and I scoot after him.
“Alright, Sam’s trying this now. Do we have somebody-” Colby starts as he looks around, but the voice from the device cuts him off. 
“News,” the device’s voice speaks out and Colby turns back to look at the device in his hand. 
“News?” Colby repeats it in confusion. 
“News?” Stas asks and Colby repeats it, nodding. 
“Did you have any news for us?” Stas asks softly and Colby scratches his forehead. 
“Is there news that you want to tell us?” Colby asks. 
“No, there was a hanging in the barn. A noose,” Amanda cuts in and another chill runs down my back.
“Noose. Interesting," Colby comments as Stas hums. The sick feeling continues to get worse and worse, but for some reason I can’t get any words out. 
“Just ask,” Sam speaks as he holds a hand over his right earphone. 
“Were you the person that got hung here?” Stas asks as I try to open my mouth and talk, but my tongue feels heavy and my mouth just won’t move. 
“Help,” Sam again speaks out what he hears. 
“Are you the spirit that tormented the Perron family?” Amanda asks. “No one ask another question for a moment,” Amanda informs us and we all stay quiet. 
“God,” Sam says out loud and now I try to squeeze Colby’s hand to tell him how I’m feeling, but it’s like I’m just frozen and can’t. 
“Don’t ask anything else. Wait,” Amanda adds in and again everyone is silent. 
“Not here,” Sam again says what he heard. 
“Who are you?” Amanda asks. “Are you the demon that tormented the Perron family?” Amanda again asks, only this time a little more sternly. 
We wait for a few minutes with no response coming from Sam. Finally the sick feeling seems to just wash away and I’m confused. 
“Possible,” Sam says, making me stop to listen and forget about it. “Freedom,” he continues to tell us what he hears. 
“Are you- are you- can you not leave? Are you trapped here?” Amanda asks as she tries to figure it all out. 
“Do you need to escape?” Colby asks as he looks over at Amanda. 
“Modern gate,” Sam says and Amanda seems to get involved more now. 
“Is there-” Amanda starts to ask, but then Sam says, “Limits,” repeating what he hears. 
“Is there some kind of gate or limit and reason you're not allowed to leave this home?” Amanda continues her question and we all pause. 
“Though,” Colby reads the word on his device out loud. 
“Are you trying-” Colby starts to ask something, but gets cut off by Sam saying “Found me”. 
“I was literally just about to say I feel like we connected-” Amanda starts, but Sam cuts her off again with “Coat.” 
“There was a guy right over here,” Amanda explains as she points over to her left. “He looks like a soldier.”
“Really? Like the story of the seven soldiers?” Colby asks as Stas hums. 
“He looks like one of the three that I saw walking outside. He’s in like, like-” Amanda tries to explain, but Sam cuts her off with a “Believe.” 
“Believe?” Colby questions as Amanda gives a look of confusion. 
“He’s in light colored clothes,” Amanda explains with a look of worry. 
“Hello, Protect,” Sam again says now and we all look at each other with even more confusion. 
“Why would he say protect? Protect what?” I finally find my words again and Colby squeezes my hand. 
“I don’t know, but I was literally about to say, he wants to talk to us,” Amanda adds as we all look at each other. 
“Focus,” Sam speaks out again. 
“We need to believe and focus more?” Colby guesses as he sighs, rubbing his face. 
“Do you remember the Perron family?” Colby asks and it goes quiet for another moment as Colby sits with his hand on his closed eye. 
“Be with me,” Sam says what he’d heard and again the sick feeling creeps up. 
“We’re here?” Colby says, confused before it falls silent again for a good while. 
“Underground,” Sam eventually speaks out. 
“Underground…” Colby repeats under his breath. 
“Basement,” Colby adds in realization. 
“Do you wanna-” Amanda starts to ask, but Sam cuts her off, saying “Stuck.” 
“Are you stuck in the basement? Do you want us to go down in the basement?” Amanda asks, but again there’s no response as we wait a while. 
“Please,” Sam finally speaks up. 
“What’s in the basement?” Amanda asks and after she does, there’s a knock that sounds off. 
“Heaven,” Sam says and soon it goes quiet again. 
We wait about a minute before Sam pulls the headphones off and gives Colby an incredulous look. 
“Whoa,” Colby comments as he lets out a breath. 
“What happened?” Sam asks after he sees Colby’s reaction. 
“We think there’s a soldier here that is just saying that he wants us to be with him and like that he’s been trying to escape this sort of hell and find heaven, but he can’t,” Colby explains and Sam nods understandably. 
“Also when we said, like, ‘do you want us to go to the basement’, you said please,” Stas chimes in and helps explain what happened to Sam. 
“I wrote down some things. I wrote ‘not ever out’ and ‘protect’. Those are the things that stuck out most,” Amanda informs Sam as she clicks her pen and reads over the words. 
“It was really difficult to hear when you guys weren’t asking questions,” Sam informs us as he looks away for a moment then back. 
“Yeah, when we were all quiet, we just tried to be quiet for a couple times, you would never say anything,” Colby explains as he points at Sam. 
“Weird!” Sam explains as his eyes widen. 
“Yeah! That- that’s weird,” Stas agrees in a shocked tone. 
“I didn’t even think about that,” Amanda adds into the conversation. 
“True… yeah,” Kat says, nodding and smiling a little. 
“What the f***?” Sam questions in astonishment. 
“Anyone else wanna try to see what we’ll get?” Sam asks as he looks between all of us. 
“I think I will,” Colby speaks up and he goes to get up after Sam nods. 
“Colby. I don’t know. Something feels off,” I tell him as I hold onto his arm. 
“It’ll be okay, babe, I’m sure it’s just nerves,” Colby replies before he leaves a kiss on my cheek. 
I sigh, shaking my head as he gets up, switching places with Sam. As soon as he leaves, the sick feeling comes crashing down on me tenfold. I try to call out to tell them, but like before my tongue feels like dead weight in my mouth. I watch helplessly as he sits there with the headphones over his ears and Sam holds the device. Tears form in my water line, but for some reason I can’t actually shed any. 
To Be Continued….

Summary:  Reader goes to a meet and greet to meet the boys she believes saved her life. Colby may or may not take a liking to her when she says her favorite quote is “________”. Then she lifts her sleeve to show them two tattoos she’s gotten. A tattoo of her favorite quote along with a quote from Colby “_____” which shocks him, making him fall head over heels for her.
Tumblr media
ANote: I have never really been to a meet and greet, I have been to events where you stand in a long line and wait for an autograph, but never a full on meet and greet. So with that in mind please please just kinda go with me for this one. I plan to just write what I’ve heard and seen from friends as well as adding in my non real meet and greets.

Please refrain from stealing our work, thank you and please enjoy!!!

Y/n’s Pov: 
I wake up to my alarm sound of Colby going off and groan before grabbing my phone. Instead of turning it off, I listen to it for a few minutes and I start to realize what today is. I finally turn it off as I look around the hotel room that I’m in as if in a daze. 
A smile falls over my face and I grab a pillow shoving it to my face as I let a squeal out before throwing it back to the bed. Finally I get up and decide to start getting ready. I grab the shirt and pants that I had brought specifically for today.
I then grab my makeup bag and jewelry case before walking to the bathroom. I do a very simple makeup look, then change out of my pajamas and into my outfit for the day. 
I put the nice tank top like shirt on:
Tumblr media
before pulling the nice long sleeved shirt over the top:
Tumblr media
Then I pull my sweatpants on:
Tumblr media
I smile when I see my tattoo on my collarbone is on show. I quickly grab my sweatshirt and pull that over my head too now covering both tattoos in the process:
Tumblr media
I smile when I deem myself fully ready. I quickly walk out of the bathroom and gather everything I’ll need for the day before heading out to my car. 
I drive down to the shopping center where the meet and greet will be taking place. When I found out they were going to go to an OG meet and greet, I just had to get the tickets. So here I am, waiting to meet my saviors and I couldn’t be more excited, yet nervous all at the same time. 
I quickly park my car and get out before heading to where the line should be. Slowly one by one, they let the small crowd of maybe a hundred to two hundred people through the doors of the small shopping center. Once inside, I smile as I see the big area that has all the merch. 
I start to meander around and look at some of the merchandise. For a few minutes I look over the newest sweaters that they have out, but decide not to buy one. I walk a little ways more before finding the rings, I smile as I pick one up and slip it onto my finger.
“It looks good on you,” a voice speaks, making me look up to see who’s talking to me. 
“Oh! Thank you!” I say in shock as I see Kat standing behind the table. 
“You're welcome. You should get it. Colby designed it off of his own. Maybe if you have one, he’ll notice when you meet with him,” she sweetly tells me and I grin as I nod at her, making her laugh. 
“Sorry. I must have shocked you. I didn’t mean to. I just came over to talk with the merchant about the possibility of stock running out,” she Expands and I nod again. 
“No. Don’t worry, you didn’t shock me at all I- just wasn’t expecting to see you. I’m a huge fan,” I tell her and she smiles at me. 
“Ahh. Ok. I can help you with buying that if you’d like?” she inquires as she points to the ring. 
“Oh. Yes, please, if you could,” I agree as I slip the ring off and hand it to her. 
“Of course. Let me go ask Sarah if she can ring it up,” she tells me as she takes the ring from me. 
“Thank you!” I shout as she walks away, making her turn back to me. 
“You're very welcome,” she says with a nod before turning around and leaving. 
I stand there waiting for a while and soon it starts to warm up a little, so I take off my sweater before tying it around my waist. After it’s off I can breathe a little better and I find myself taking my long sleeve off too before lightly tying it around my waist as well. Just as I finish tying it around myself Kat walks back over with another girl making me look up at them. 
“Hi! I’m Sarah. Kat tells me you’d like to buy this ring?” she asks as she holds it up for me to see and I nod. 
Sarah hands me a card reader and I pay for the ring. Once I’m done paying Sarah hands me my receipt and I give her a small thankful smile. I then put my card along with the receipt away in my wallet. Last I put my wallet back in my crossbody bag before looking back up to Kat. 
“Nice tattoos. Colby said that one,” Kat notifies me as she points to the quote on my collar bone. 
“Yeah… it’s my favorite Colby quote. It’s one of the many quotes that saved my life. That’s why it’s on my collar bone. Close to the heart,” I tell Kat and she grins before someone comes up next to her, whispering something to her. 
“Ok. I’ll be there in a sec,” she promises the person who nods before walking away. 
“Ok. Well, apparently Sam needs me. It was nice meeting you…” she says as she turns to me and pauses. 
“Y/n,” I provide my name for her and she nods. 
“Well, y/n, it was really nice to meet you. You’ll have to tell me more about your tattoo later,” she tells me with a smile and I nod. 
“Of course. It was nice meeting you too, Kat,” I agree with her and she smiles once more before turning around. 
“Would you like me to wrap the ring for you?” Sarah proposes, making me shake my head as I take the ring and slide it back onto my finger. 
“Nah, I think I’ll just wear it. Thank you for your help,” I inform her and she nods, smiling. 
I then walk over to the little food cart that’s sitting just across from the merchandise table and get into the line. It takes a few minutes before I finally get up to it and order my food. I grab it from the person with a smile as well as a small ‘thank you’ before walking over to one of the small tables. 
As I sit down, I look at the time and smile when I see it’s just about time for the boys to actually come out. I quickly open up the food from its packaging and eat it. I drink some water to wash it down and just as I’m finished eating, people start lining up where the line would be. 
I smile as I get up and throw my garbage away before getting in line as well. I look at the people in front of me and realize I’m maybe only about twenty people away. As I wait, I slowly start to get antsy and drum lightly on my thigh. 
The line moves slowly as one by one I get closer and closer. My nerves start to play with my head and my palms get sweaty the closer I get. Suddenly the twentyish people before me are now ten and I swallow when I catch a glimpse of the back of Colby’s head. 
It then suddenly gets warmer and warmer as I get closer, now only about five people in front of me. Before I know it, I’m frozen at the front of the line as Colby turns around with a big smile on his face. 
“Hi. What’s your name?” he asks me and I gulp, making him chuckle. 
“You can come closer. We won’t bite,” Colby promises with a soft smile. 
“Well actually he might, but I definitely won’t,” Sam jokes as Colby holds his hand out to me and walks me over. 
“Sam! Ok… he’s right, I definitely do get bitey the more testy I get, but I promise you I won’t bite you,” Colby jokes and I smile at him as I laugh. 
“Don’t worry, I don’t bite either,” I coyly respond and Colby lets out a loud laugh as he throws his head back. 
“Now that we’ve all established none of us will bite, what's your name?” Sam queries just as the door to the left opens. 
“Y/n! It’s so nice to see you again,” Kat beams as she walks over and pulls me into a hug. 
“Oh, you know her?” Sam questions with a raised eyebrow and Kat nods as we pull back from our hug. 
“We met at the merch table earlier. Bought that very ring she’s wearing now,” Kat explains as she points to the ring on my finger. 
“Yeah. I told her how I really liked the design…” I enlighten them with a light blush as Colby grins. 
“Hey. Is that a tattoo?” Colby asks, pointing at the tattoo on my arm and I grin, nodding. 
“Can I read it?” he asks and I nod before he lightly grabs hold of my arm to look at it a little closer. 
“The heart may be weak and sometimes it might give in, but I've learned that deep down there's a light that never goes out,"
~ Sora
Colby reads it out loud and slowly starts to grin. His eyes light up and Sam smirks. 
“That’s from Kingdom Hearts. I believe Sora said it, didn’t he?” Colby playfully questions even though it’s clear he already knows he’s right and I nod, smiling at him. 
“That he did. It’s my favorite quote from all the games. It has inspired me to never let my light go out. To let it shine no matter where or what I’m doing,” I explain and Colby seems to get excited. 
“Mine is-” Colby starts to quote his favorite quote and I smile. 
“Don’t assume that your dreams are just a fantasy,” 
~Sora
Me and Colby quote it at the same time. He smiles as do, getting even more excited that I even knew that. 
“How’d you know that was my favorite?” Colby asks and I roll my eyes. 
“Umm, hello? Super fan. You said it back in your old Q&A video from Kansas,” I remind him, making his eyes widen as me and Sam laugh. 
“That was so long ago!” Colby comments in shock and I giggle, nodding. 
“How long have you played Kingdom Hearts?” he asks and I grin even more. 
“Oh boy, you’ve got him started now…” Sam quips with an eye roll, making me and Kat laugh. 
“Don’t worry, he can talk KH with me any day. I’ll gladly talk about all the cutscenes for hours as well as watch through them thousands of times,” I inform Sam and his eyes widen. 
“Colby, brother, she's perfect for you,” Sam tells him as he pats him on the back and I blush. 
“Well, I don’t know about that…” I shyly shake my head as both Sam and Kat nod like it’s an understatement. 
“Honey. You definitely are. Saying you're perfect might be an overstatement because nobody's really perfect, but you really do seem to mesh right with Colby,” Kat agrees with Sam and I blush. 
“Well, thank you, that's very nice of you to tell me. But if you ever wanna talk KH and have nobody else to talk to about it, just hit me up,” I confidently tell him with a soft smile and he nods excitedly. 
“Also to answer your question, Colby, I’ve been playing since the first one came out back in 2002,” I explain and his eyes widen. 
“You’ve been playing a lot longer than me then…” Colby trails off in astonishment and I smile, nodding my head. 
“Yeah… me and my very much older Disney-loving cousin were absolutely obsessed with it the first time playing it. Stayed up all night, even at the age of four I was immersed in it,” I explain my past with a nostalgic tone and Colby smiles even bigger, if that’s even possible. 
“I bet your parents were happy your cousin kept you up like that,” Sam jokes and I laugh, nodding my head. 
“Oh, they did. I’ve been told many stories of how when he’d visit, we’d sneak downstairs to play and my parents were always furious the next morning,” I tell Sam and he laughs, giving a small ‘gold’ in response. 
“That’s what made me the gamer I am today actually. If it weren’t for my cousins, I don’t think I’d be much into video games at all,” I inform and Sam smiles softly as he nods.  
“Then I found out Colby liked the game and it just was so awesome to know one half of my favorite duo liked the same thing as me,” I tell them and Colby smiles at me. 
“So how’d you find us?” Colby questions and I giggle. 
“It’s actually a really funny story. So when you two first started out I had known of you, but didn’t really get into the fandom till like maybe 2016ish when I was losing all my will to live…” I explain, but trail off at the end, not wanting to ruin the mood. 
“Awe, what happened at that time?” Sam asks and I smile softly. 
“At that time I had just moved, didn't really have very many friends and was bullied a lot. By a lot I mean like a lot,” I expand as I playfully roll my eyes, making Sam chuckle. 
“But then I found you guys and got more into your videos again. They made me laugh so hard. You guys gave me the will to push on. Not to mention all that you did with wanting to just make a difference,” I tell them with a grin and Colby smiles. 
“Is it ok if we give you a hug?” Colby asks and I nod my head immediately. 
“Definitely,” I agree with them, making them both smile. 
Colby pulls me in first from the right and Sam comes closer from the left. They hug me for a moment and I just sink into the warm feeling they give off. I relax for what feels like only really a minute before being snapped out of the little taste of heaven. 
“Now that’s too cute,” Kat comments with a grin as she pulls out her phone and snaps a picture. 
After she takes the picture we pull apart and Sam notices my other tattoo. Colby walks over to the side with Kat for a moment and she nods before jogging off. Sam pokes the tattoo as he reads it, making me giggle. 
“Hey! Colby said that one,” he comments and I smile, nodding. 
“Yeah. It was one of the moments he inspired me,” I tell him with a soft smile. 
“What’d I say?” Colby asks as he walks back over and I smile. 
“Her other tattoo…” Sam tells him as he points it out on my collar bone. 
“You think it's over, everyone important in your life has never stayed. Little do you know, I'll always be close by. Forever. And nothing will ever change that”
~Colby Brock
“Hey. I tweeted that,” Colby acknowledges after he reads it. 
“Yeah. You didn’t know it, but that was a really bad day for me and you tweeted it just when I needed it… stopped me from a very bad choice…” I choke out as I flash back to the memory. 
“Hey. Hey. It’s ok. I’m really glad I was able to stop that choice. You seem like someone I’d love having around,” Colby tells me as he rubs my back lightly and I smile softly at him while wiping just under my eye. 
“Thank you. Not a lot of people have told me that,” I choke out and he frowns. 
“Well, all the people that left you behind made a huge mistake,” Colby comments with a soft smile as his hand continues to lightly rub my lower back, making me relax faster than I ever have before. 
“Sam, I sadly don’t have one from you. But I was wondering if before I leave, today you’d write one out for me?” I ask him as I turn to him and he gives me a shocked look. 
“I mean, yeah. I can definitely do that,” he tells me in a choked tone and I smile softly at him again. 
“Where’d Kat go?” Sam questions as he looks around for his girlfriend. 
“Oh. Uh, she’s grabbing something from the back room for me,” Colby states as he looks away shyly and I giggle. 
“Ok. Well in the meantime while she’s gone, do you wanna pose for official pictures?” Sam asks and Colby nods. 
“Ok. Let’s do it,” I agree with a grin as Sam motions to the camera guy that we’re ready.  
The camera guy stands up from his chair in the corner and walks over to us. He stops by the camera along with his whole setup that’s next to it. 
“Ok. So when you do pose, I want you,” he explains pointing to me, "To be on that red line right there. Got it?” He points to the line and I look down at it. 
“Yup. I got it,” I tell him with a nod before stepping on the spot. 
“What poses do you wanna do?” Colby asks me and I grin. 
“Can we do one with each and then one all together?” I ask and Sam and Colby both nod. 
“Yeah. We can totally do that. Who do you wanna take a picture with first?” Sam asks and I shrug. 
“I’m good with whoever. I love both of you so I don’t care,” I inform them and they both smile while looking at each other. 
“Colby seems to want to go first, so I’ll let him,” Sam jokes with a chuckle and I smile, nodding as he steps off to the side for a moment. 
“Ok. What pose?” Colby asks with a grin and I giggle, shaking my head. 
“I don’t know. I only had one planned and that’s the one with both of you,” I inform him and he chuckles, rubbing his hands together which only makes me giggle more. 
“Ok. How about just a hug? Or how about this…” Colby thinks out loud before trailing off. 
He comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me from behind. I immediately relax into him and a soft grin falls over my lips as he laces our fingers together before laying them over my stomach. He then lays his head directly on my shoulder and smiles. 
“This ok?” he asks and I only nod, not able to fully find my words. 
“Y…y…yeah. It’s more than ok,” I tell him with a smile, making him grin. 
“Ok. That’s the pose?” The camera guy asks, making both me and Colby nod in confirmation. 
“Ok. On three then,” the camera guy tells us as he leans into the camera. 
“One… two… three,” the camera guy shouts as he starts to take the pictures. He takes a few before standing back up fully. 
“Ok. Good. Next pose?” he tells us and we smile, nodding. 
Colby pulls away and I fight the urge to frown at the loss of his body heat. Sam walks over and gives Colby a funny look that makes me giggle before Colby walks off to the side now. As Colby stands off to the side, I can see Kat walk back, handing him something as they whisper back and forth. 
“Ok. Do you have any idea on a pose for us?” Sam asks and I giggle, shaking my head again. 
“Nope. Like I told Colby, I only had the one with all of us planned,” I inform, reiterating what I’d said before and he smiles, nodding. 
“Ok. How about a piggy back ride?” Sam asks and my eyes widen. 
“Is that good for your back after you broke it?” I ask him and he smiles. 
“Yeah. I should be fine. It’s mostly all healed now,” he informs me as he pats his own back and I smile. 
“Ok. If you’re ok with it,” I hesitantly agree and he smiles as he crouches down. 
I hop onto his back and he wraps his hands around my legs. I smile as I wrap my arms around his neck and he smiles as he turns to the camera. 
“That’s so cute!” Kat shouts out to us and we both turn to grin at her. 
“Ok. Are you guys ready?” The camera guy asks, making us both nod. 
“Ok. On three again,” he tells us as he once again leans down to the camera to take the pictures. 
“Ok. Good. Now one or two all together, yeah?” he asks as he stands back up again. 
“Hold on. Stay up there,” Colby tells us as I start to hop off Sam’s back and he comes over. 
“Why?” I ask and Colby smirks. 
“I’ve got another pose idea,” Colby informs us as he helps Sam make sure I’m not slipping. 
“Ok…” both Sam and I agree with a few chuckles as Sam shrugs when I give him a questionable look. 
Sam keeps me up on his back and Colby stands off to the side. Colby then nods to the camera guy, who smirks and nods. 
“Ok. On three…” he tells us again before getting ready to take the picture. 
“Y/n, look at me,” Colby tells me and I do as he tells me. 
The camera flashes just as Colby pulls me down and gives me a light kiss. The camera flashes a few more times before Colby pulls away with a smile. I blush as I hop off Sam’s back, who smirks. 
“I thought you guys only did show kisses?” I ask and Colby chuckles, shaking his head. 
“Normally we do, but you're special,” Colby tells me, making me blush some more. 
“Well thank you,” I say shyly and he smiles at me. 
“Ok. Next pose?” The camera guy prompts and Colby grins. 
“I have another idea if that’s ok. I actually have a few more,” Colby explains and I grin, nodding. 
“I’m good with whatever,” I tell him and he grins before grabbing my hand. 
“Ok. Sam, you stand in front of her,” Colby tells Sam, who nods and does as he tells him. 
“Y/n, hug him from behind,” Colby tells me and I giggle as I reach up on my tiptoes while wrapping my arms around Sam’s neck. 
“Ok. What now?” I ask and Colby smirks. 
“This…” Colby trails off before he wraps his arms around my waist and cuddles close. 
“Ok. Are you guys ready?” The camera guy asks and Colby nods at him. 
“Ok. As all the other times, on three,” the camera guy tells us again before he leans down to the camera. 
“Ok. Good! Two more poses, yes?” The camera guy questions as he stands back up straight and Colby nods as we all pull away. 
“Ok. Last idea of mine,” Colby tells us, getting a nod from us. 
“Sam, I want to just kinda join. Hug her from the side or back,” Colby tells him and he nods. 
Colby then pulls me into a semi-hug, keeping a hold of my hand. He then leans his forehead to mine and I instinctively close my eyes to hide the tears that start to make way to my eyes. Sam then also grabs onto my hand and just hugs me from the side, leaning his head softly on my shoulder. 
“Ok. Ready?” The camera guy asks and I feel Sam nod. 
The camera guy takes a few shots of this pose. 
“Ok. Good. Last pose?” he asks again as he stands up to look at us. 
We all break apart and I open my eyes. Colby smiles softly at me as he rubs my arm lightly. 
“Can you give us one minute, James?” Colby asks and James nods with a soft smile. 
I wipe my eyes as more tears start to cascade down my cheeks and I shake my head. I see out of the corner of my eye as Sam walks over to Kat. She smiles as he walks over to her and they start to talk back and forth. 
“Hey. You’re ok…” Colby whispers to me now that we’re somewhat alone, he pulls me into a hug and rubs my back. 
“I’m sorry. I told myself I wasn’t going to cry today. That I’d be, like, super cool,” I tell him and Colby’s quick to start hushing me softly. 
“Hey. No. It’s ok to cry. You're human. It happens,” Colby tells me as he continues to rub my back for a few minutes as I slowly start to calm down. 
“Thank you,” I say with a smile at him and he nods. 
“Of course,” he replies with his own grin. 
“Ok. Are we ready now?” James questions when he sees us smiling. 
“Yeah. I think we are,” Colby tells him as he side-eyes me and I nod at him. 
“Ok. What pose was it you wanted to do?” Sam inquires as he rubs his hands together while walking back over after Colby had waved him over. 
“I was thinking we could have me in the middle with both of you guys on my sides, hugging me and kissing my cheeks,” I tell them with a light blush, making them chuckle and nod. 
“Yeah, we can do that,” Sam agrees with a smile and nod. 
“Hold on a moment,” Colby tells us as he holds up a finger. 
He then walks over to Kat and they whisper to one another for a few moments, before Kat pats him on the back. She gives him what seems like an encouraging smile and he hesitantly nods before walking back over to us. 
“Ok. I’m ready now,” Colby informs and I smile softly at him. 
Colby pulls me in from the left and Sam comes up hugging me on the right. I giggle as Colby gives my side a little tickle before they both kiss my cheek and I grin. 
“Ok. On three, one last time,” James explains to us as he slightly bends to the camera again before taking a couple. 
“Ok. Good. You’re all done,” James notifies us as he stands straight once again. 
“Your pictures will be sent to your email,” he informs me and I nod, smiling at him. 
“Thank you, James,” Sam speaks up with a nod at James. 
James nods back before going back over to where he was previously sitting when I first walked up. Sam and Colby both pull away and again I have to fight a frown as I realize my time is up. Kat comes over and pulls her phone out. 
“I’d like to hang out with you sometime, y/n. Do you think I could get your number?” Kat questions me as she holds out her phone to me. 
“Yeah. Sure. I’d love that too,” I agree with Kat as I take her phone and put my number in. 
“Well, I’ll text you soon,” she promises as she takes the phone back. 
“Ok. I look forward to it,” I tell her with a grin before turning to Sam and Colby. 
“Sam, can I get a quote from you?” I ask and he grins, nodding. 
“Yeah. Kat, hon, do you have paper of some sort?” he asks her and she nods before pulling a small ripped up paper from her pocket. 
She hands the paper and a pen to him and he grabs Colby by the arm before spinning him around. Colby rolls his eyes with a playful scoff as Sam uses his back to write it down. He quickly finishes writing before handing Kat the pen. 
“Ok. Done,” Sam tells me as he hands me the paper and I look down at it as I read over it. 
“You can't change the world but you can change how you see it,”
~Sam Golbach
“Awe, Sam… I love it. It’s definitely a good reminder,” I tell him with a smile and he shrugs as he puts his hands in his pockets. 
“I know. It’s even good for me sometimes,” he agrees with me. 
“Ok. Well before I go, can I get one more hug?” I ask the boys and they both smile, nodding. 
I walk over to them and Sam pulls me into a hug first. He hugs me tight for a second and I hug him back just as tight. 
“You got this. It may be bad some days, but just remember on those days that it’s all only temporary,” Sam whispers to me and I nod as I try to keep my tears at bay. 
He pulls back from the hug and smiles softly at me before stepping off to the side. Colby grins as he steps up and pulls me into a hug. 
“I promise you’ve got this. You're a great person and I’d really appreciate getting to know you. I know a lot of people have left you, but think of it this way. It’s not your loss, it’s theirs,” Colby informs me and I nod, hugging him a little closer. 
“Thank you. Really, that means the world to me,” I whisper to him as I cuddle my face into his neck. 
I cuddle into him just a little more and try to commit his smell to my vivid memory. After a few moments more, Colby pulls back and I fight the feeling that rises up inside me at the loss of his contact. I then turn to see Kat smiling at me with her arms open and I giggle, shaking my head. 
“This really was a dream come true,” I tell them as I walk over and hug Kat as well. 
“We loved meeting you, too,” Kat tells me with a grin as she pulls back. 
“Well. I hope we meet again someday,” I admit as I start to walk back the way I had come. 
“Don’t worry, we will. I’ll make it happen,” Kat promises and I smile at her. 
“And I wholeheartedly believe you will,” I reply and she smiles at me. 
I turn around and start walking out with a grin on my face. I turn back one last time to look at them and I catch Colby watching me. I turn back around and smile as I walk back to my car. 
Once back at my car, I get in and let out a happy sigh. I sit in the driver's seat and just soak in what had just happened. I can’t help but let out a little happy squeal before calming down and turning on my favorite playlist. 
As my music turns on, I grin as Skin starts to play and I giggle, shaking my head in slight disbelief. After starting my car, I pull out and start driving back to my hotel for the night. As I drive, I listen to my music and happily sing along the whole way back. 
Before I know it, I’m walking back into my room and my smile still hasn’t gone away. I sigh again as I put my bag down before heading to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom, I decide to change back into my pajama pants and as I start to pull my pants off, I hear something like a crumpling sound. 
In confusion, I put my hand in the pocket thinking it’s just my receipt from the ring, but then I remembered that I’d put it in my wallet. Still confused, I pull the small piece of paper out of my pocket and unfold it before reading over it. 
“I would really like to hang out sometime :) I think you’re really beautiful. Text me?  Maybe we can set up a time to meet up. (557)846-2694
~Colby 
I stare at it for a moment in confusion before trying to figure out if it’s real. It’s only after a few minutes that I realize this is the paper that Kat had handed him earlier on. I let out a giggle of disbelief for a moment before snapping out of my shock. 
I quickly race back out of the bathroom into my room and over to my purse. I roughly pull my phone from my purse and pull up a new text feature. It takes me a moment of staring at the phone before I think of what to say. 
“Hi 😁. Thank you for the compliment ☺️. I would absolutely love to meet up somewhere. Just let me know when you’re free and what day 😊,”  I reply and quickly hit send before I can second guess myself. 
I then wait with baited breath for his response, and when it doesn’t come right away, I decide to find something else to do until it does. So I busy myself with drawing on my iPad and do that for a solid few hours before getting bored. I turn my iPad off and sigh before grinning and deciding to play on my PS4 for a bit. 
I turn it on and the screen comes to life. I quickly toggle over to my games file and look through them. A smirk falls over my face when I see Kingdom Hearts and I make a split second decision to play it. 
Just as I get to the first cut scene of Axel eating ice cream with Roxas, my phone goes off. I quickly pause the game and pick up my phone. 
“Hey! Glad you messaged me 😁. I was a little nervous you wouldn’t. You’re very welcome for the compliment, it’s only true 😉. Cool. Would you possibly be free Friday night? 😌”  I read over his reply and blush lightly before clicking on the type box. 
“Yeah. I’m free Friday ☺️,”  I reply and immediately his next message pops up. 
“Well now you're not. I’m taking you to dinner 😉,”  I read it before giggling and shaking my head. 
“Ok. I’ll make sure it’s on my calendar 😉,”  I reply and I can’t help but grin very wide as I see the three dots pop up. 
“Great! So… what are you doing right now?” I read over it and giggle before a smirk falls over my face. 
“I may or may not be playing KH right now…” I type out and send it and again the three dots immediately pop up. 
“No way! Which one?” he asks and I giggle again. 
“Yes way. Four. I just got it about a week ago,” I tell him and it’s like I can feel his excitement when I read over his next text. 
“Dude. Four is awesome. How far are you into the game?” he asks and I laugh, shaking my head. 
“Day eight, the cut scene of Axel and Roxas getting ice cream. I haven’t really had much time to play,” I reply and smile when the dots pop up again. 
“I gotta go, but let’s talk more later,” Colby replies and I smile at the thought he wants to keep talking to me. 
“Ok. I’ll see you Friday ☺️,” I say my goodbyes with a smile on my face. 
“See you Friday 😉,” he replies and I blush when I see the winky emoji. 
Once the last text comes through, I close my phone and pick my controller back up. I press play and continue to play, but find it hard to as I can’t help but think of the upcoming Friday. That’s how my day ends, me happy playing KH which thoughts of what’s to come. 
The End…

Third Person Pov:
The computer shows Nick and the countdown that is at 00:00:01. It then clicks off the video and 4672 CARNEY LANE — BOULDER HWY are the words that slide across the screen. Then the words BE THERE IN 20 MINUTES slide onto the screen next before OR DON’T BOTHER COMING slide across the screen too.
Grissom finds himself standing in front of a warehouse that doesn’t look like it’s been used for some time with the bag of money in his hand. He looks around for any sight of anything, but finds nothing out of the ordinary so he takes a step toward the building. He walks up to the building keeping an eye out for anything. 
He walks up to the door, grabs the handle and slides the door open. It makes a loud clunking sound as he does, but he pays it no mind. Once it’s open he steps in and takes his glasses off as he looks around the inside. 
He sees an SUV parked to his right, but nothing else really. He sets the bag down and reaches around himself to pull his flashlight out of his back pocket. He shines the flashlight out and continues to look around the warehouse. 
“Las Vegas crime lab!” He calls out into the void in front of him. 
“Through the door!” Another man’s voice shouts out and Gil bends down slowly to pick the money bag back up. 
He then starts to walk, shining his light in front of him. As he walks he notices a dead dog laying on the floor with flies buzzing around. He sees other things a dog would need, a bed, food and water bowls. 
He sees a box of random things and what seems to be a bed in the corner. He keeps walking and soon makes his way to the door the voice had told him to go through. He walks up a few steps before coming face to face with an older looking man who sits behind a computer watching the feed of Nick. 
“Pretty quiet outside,” the man comments as Gil comes to a stop in front of him. 
“Almost sounds like you came alone,” the guy continues to taunt. 
“I’ve got your money,” Gil tells him and the guy stands. 
“Put it down,” the guy commands as he leans on his arms against the table. 
Grissom slowly lowers the bag and it makes a light thud as it hits the ground. He stands back up to full straight position before the guy comes out from behind the desk and up to the few steps to the podium he’s on. 
“Slide it over,” he commands and Grissom uses his foot to kick it over closer to the guy. 
It’s only when the bag stops, maybe about fifteen to twenty feet from him that the man walks down the steps and over to the bag. He uses a flashlight to look down on it and he looks back up at Gil. 
“You’re telling me there’s a million dollars in here?” The guy asks and Gil gives a very decisive “yes,” to his question. 
“Along with some cute little booby traps? Which is it? A tracker, a dye pack? A…” he asks, trying to figure out if they played any tricks on him. 
“Normally, you’d be 100% right, but this time you’re 100% wrong. We want Nick back. No tricks,” Grissom promises him and it goes silent for a moment. 
The guy takes a moment before bending down to the bag. He moves it so it’s facing him and unzips it. He digs though for a moment before grabbing a wad of the cash and holding it up to his light. He inspects it thoroughly before starting to chuckle. 
“This looks real,” he comments as he holds it up. 
“It is real,” Gil proclaims before pausing. 
“Where is Nick?” He asks and the guy stands back up dropping the money back into the bag as he does. 
“You know, I was under the impression that it was against departmental policy to negotiate with terrorists,” the guy comments, using his free hand to try and motion out his meaning. 
“Are you a terrorist?” Gil asks him in a calm tone. 
“Depends,” the guy replies in a nonchalant tone before shining the light at Grissom’s face. 
“Are you terrified?” The guys asks in a playful tone and Grissom takes a deep breath. 
“Look, I really don’t want to talk to you. Where is my guy?” Gil asks in a slightly irritated voice. 
“Oh, so… he is your guy, huh?” The man asks in a fake astonished tone. 
“Yes, he is. Where is he buried?” Gil asks in a demanding tone. 
“Are you two close?” The man asks with a hint of amusement in his voice. 
“That’s none of your business,” Gil tells him in a clipped tone. 
“What does Nick Stokes mean to you? How do you feel when you see him in that coffin? Does your soul die every time you push that button? How do you feel knowing that there’s nothing you can do to get him out of that hell? Helpless…useless… impotent? How does it feel having to tell his darling of a wife he’s not coming home?” The guy asks again dodging the question with his own million to one questions and Grissom doesn’t respond. 
“Good. Welcome to my world,” the man tells him before revealing that he has a bomb strapped to his waist. 
“Uh, if I were you, I’d back up a little,” he tells Grissom in a condescending tone, but yet there’s also humor laced in with it. 
Grissom takes one, two, no three little steps back and before he has a chance to do anything else the guy presses the button that he’s holding. The whole place gets wrecked with the magnificent boom, windows shatter and wood shards go flying every which way. Once the bomb is done dust over takes the air and starts to rain down along with blood painting the walls. 
Grissom wakes and starts to huff for breath as he struggles to sit up. His ears ring and he can feel blood on his face as he looks over the desolate scene in front of him. 
Tumblr media
Reader’s Pov: 
I wake up to someone shaking my shoulder lightly and with a small groan, I open my eyes. The bright light burns my eyes, making me shy away before looking back up to see Warrick standing in front of me. He gives me a small smile as I sit up, the blanket falling from my arm to my lap. 
“What’s up, B?” I ask him and he smiles lightly. 
“Griss just left to take the ransom money. If we’re lucky, Nicky boy should be home by tonight,” he tells me as his grin slowly grows more and more. 
“You mean I’ll get him back?” I inquire softly and Warrick nods. 
“Warrick, you better not be playing with me…” I warn him and he shakes his head, holding his hands up in surrender. 
“I promise you mamas that I am not messing with you,” he tells me and I take a moment to let the words sink in. 
“Oh, B… you were right, he’s coming home,” I whisper out as tears come to my eyes. 
“It’s all just a waiting game now, mama. Once Grissom calls in, we can go get our boy,” he informs me and I can’t help but jump forward and hug him. 
“Wait…” I pause before pulling back from the hug. 
“How did Gil get the ransom money? I thought the department wasn’t going to pay it out. Did Nicky’s parents put it out?” I question and Warrick shakes his head. 
“We’re not really supposed to talk about it… because Grissom insists on it staying anonymous, but you have Catherine to thank… she went to her father and asked for the money…” Warrick explains to me and I freeze as gratitude overflows me. 
“Where is she?” I ask him after a moment of silence and he shakes his head. 
“She’s in her office,” he informs me and I nod as I get up. 
I quickly rush out of the break room and down the many halls I know will take me to her office. I slow down once I see the office and lightly knock on the door. She looks up and smiles when she sees it’s me. 
She takes her glasses off and gives a small nod, mouthing a small ‘come in,’ before I push the glass door open. I walk in, closing the door behind me and Catherine smiles softly at me as I take a seat in one of the chairs in front of her desk. Her walkie-talkie chats quietly from beside her with a sound of static every time someone isn’t talking. 
“What do you need, y/n?” she asks me as she folds her hands on her desk. 
“Rick… he, uhh… told me what you did. I… I don’t know how to thank you,” I answer her in a choked tone and she smiles softly at me again. 
“No need to thank me, y/n. Both you and Nicky are family. I hated seeing you and him in pain,” she explains softly before reaching her hand out to me. 
“No. You deserve a thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t be getting my husband back. I… I wouldn’t have made it if—” I start but she squeezes my hand as she cuts me off. 
“Don’t even start to wonder. That road can be a dangerous one, y/n. Just think of what you’ll do with all your time off,” she tells me and I give her a confused look. 
“Time off?” I ask in confusion and she nods as she pulls her hand back. 
“Nick gets time off for mental evaluation after all of this. I assume Griss will make you do the same thing,” she informs and I purse my lips as I nod. 
“Honestly, we need the time off anyway. We were hoping to put in for some after these cases finished up,” I tell her and she grins, making me smile too. 
“And you guys deserve it. You’ve done a lot of work with no breaks lately,” she muses and it goes quiet with the radio static being the only noise. 
“Would you like to—” Catherine starts, but gets cut off with a voice coming over the radio. 
“Dispatch, this is Gill Grissom of the crime scene lab. I request assistance at 4672 Carney Lane - - Boulder HWY. There’s been an explosion that needs analysis as soon as possible,” comes Grissom’s voice over the radio and I quickly suck in a breath as Catherine picks it up. 
“Copy that, we’re sending units to your location right now,” Dispatch replies and Catherine looks up at me. 
“You stay here. Someone will update you if we find anything at all, I promise,” she tells me as she stands up and I nod quickly. 
Tumblr media
After Catherine and the others leave, I’m left alone so I decide to take a shower and change my clothes. I walk to the locker room and open my locker. 
Immediately I regret it when I see a picture of me and Nick on the inside of the door:
Tumblr media
I smile softly at the old picture as I look at Nick and me from back when we were still in our second year of being CSI’s. With a soft smile, I find myself mentally thanking Nick’s sister Janet for taking the picture. I reach up and touch the picture as I sniffle. 
I sigh and grab my change of clothes and a small toiletries bag before closing the locker. I go over to the shower and grab a towel from the cabinet before setting all my stuff on the counter. I then get into the shower and monotonously go about it. 
I stay in the shower until the water runs cold and sigh as I reluctantly turn it off. I make work of getting out and quickly drying off before getting dressed. After I’m dressed, I drop my towel in the hamper and walk back to my locker. 
I open it and set my toiletries bag in first before folding my clothes up. I put my clothes into the locker and catch sight of another one of the pictures I have hanging up: 
Tumblr media
I smile as the memory from college plays in my head and all I can hear is Nick’s laugh. That day was just one of our many lazy days that turned into him forgetting that he had a project to finish for his class. He ended up working on it while I sat reading my book, until I got bored and reached over for my camera that was on his bedside table. 
~Flash back~ 
“Hey, Nicky,” I sing-song to him. 
“Hmm?” he hums out, not even looking at me and I roll my eyes. 
“Look over here, babe,” I tell him and he takes a moment to lean back in his chair, looking over one last detail before looking at me.
He smiles when he sees me and I grin as I take the picture. He laughs while shaking his head, making me grin even more. 
“You and taking pictures of me. Did it at least turn out good?” he asks through his own grin and I pull the camera back to look at the screen. 
“Hmm. Yes, it did. That one’s being printed,” I comment, only to giggle when he shakes his head before going back to his work. 
~End of Flashback~ 
“Come home to me, Nicky,” I whisper, wiping at the tear that falls as another picture makes me giggle softly:
Tumblr media
I remember that day so well. Nick was working on a separate case alongside Greg and I just so happened to walk by and see them both in really deep thought. Me being me, I decided to take a picture of them and send it to Nick with the text “someone looks a little grumpy :(”. He had immediately looked up to see me after reading the text and smiled at me, making me smile back softly before continuing on my way. 
I sigh as I look over all the many pictures I have of us from over the years. Some Janet had taken, some taken by Nick’s brother Shane, as well as his brother Mason, sister Piper, and brother Braxton, all of whom saw me as a sibling the moment me and Nick started hanging around each other. There’s some we took together and some of us just being goofy together:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I let all the memories slowly play out in my head before shaking myself out of my thoughts. 
“He’s coming home. He’ll be ok…” I keep repeating to myself in my head. I bite my lip and look over all the pictures one last time before closing my locker. 
I wipe away tears that I didn’t even notice had fallen and start to walk to the break room. Once in the break room, I decide I should try to eat something, so I start looking for something that seems appetizing. I find a bowl of leftover spaghetti in the fridge with the name ‘Stokes’ on it in big bold letters. I shake my head at the note I find under it:
Sweets, I know you’ll find this. You better eat it, I know you haven’t had anything at all today. Remember I love you and EAT the damn food please. 
~Nicky ^>^
“Even when he’s not here, he’s still taking care of me,” I comment out loud to myself, shaking my head as I give a soft chortle. 
I take the foil off the top of the glass bowl and open the microwave. I then set the bowl in carefully and close it before setting it to three minutes. 
As it warms it up, I walk back over to the fridge to get my soda from earlier this morning out before walking back over. I then grab a plastic fork from a container on the counter just as the microwave comes to a stop and beeps. I take the food out and walk over to the round table in the center of the room. 
I sit down and start to stab at my food, but all of a sudden it doesn’t seem appetizing anymore. I twirl some on the fork and take one bite in hopes it’ll at least taste appetizing, but it doesn’t. I sit there trying to work up to wanting it, but it just keeps looking gross. 
I sigh and push the bowl away from me before putting my hands over my eyes. I sit there for a few minutes with my hands over my eyes when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Warrick standing there with a solemn look on his face. 
“What happened?” I ask him and he sighs, moving to sit down next to me. 
“The bastard blew himself up. Talk about cowardice to end it all,” he chortles in disbelief, shaking his head. 
“Griss was lucky and didn’t get hit by the blast. He has minor hearing loss, but unfortunately no Nick,” he continues to explain and I suck in a breath. 
“You process the scene yet?” I inquire and he pursues his lips. 
“Yeah. Me and Greg worked on the car. GPS wasn’t a lot of help at all. All we got was general information of around where he was,” he informs me and I bite my lip in hopes of holding my emotions back. 
“What— what about a body? Did the guy have anything on him?” I question and he pauses a moment as if debating whether to tell me. 
“There wasn’t much of a body. He was literally in pieces… and no, we didn’t find anything on him,” he answers me and my face changes to one of anger. 
“Did you guys find anything useful at all?! Or did you just quit?!” I angrily seethe out, my hormones completely out of whack and Warrick looks shocked for a moment. 
“Mamas, I know you're angry. You have every right to be, but you gotta stay calm or I’m taking you home,” he informs me and I nod as my anger washes away. 
“You're right. I’m sorry. I don’t know what just came over me,” I apologize as I put my head in my hands again and sniffle. 
“It’s okay, mamas. You're entering the anger stage and not to mention you're probably hungry. I get it. It’s hard when all you want is him here with you,” he sympathizes with me as he pulls my chair to his and hugs me. 
“Did you get anything at all, though?” I ask him and he nods. 
“Yeah. Sara got a thumb, so we got a thumb print. She just went to run the print to see what we get,” he explains to me and I sigh. 
“I just want him home, Rick,” I tell him and he pulls away from our hug to look me in the eyes. 
“And he will be, mama. He will be, but for now you gotta take care of yourself, you hear me? He wouldn’t like knowing that you didn’t,” he says and I sigh, shaking my head. 
“I hear you. I do, I just…” I trail off and he nods. 
“I get it mama, I do. Have you eaten?” he questions and I motion to the bowl in front of us. 
“I tried, took one bite and just wanted to throw up. So, no, I haven’t eaten,” I answer and he sighs. 
“Ok. Here’s what we’re going to do. Grab the bowl and come with me,” he commands and I give him a shocked look, knowing what he’s doing. 
“But B, there’s no food in the lab,” I reiterate the rules of the lab and he shrugs. 
“Will you eat if you can see he’s doing ok?” he questions and I take a moment to think about it. 
“I mean, maybe…” I tell him and he nods again as he gets up. 
“I’m sure Griss would allow it this one time,” he explains as he pushes his chair in and I smile softly at him. 
“Ok. Then let’s go,” I agree as I get up and grab the bowl. 
“That’a girl. Let me just get myself a coffee, then we can go,” he tells me and I nod as he walks over and grabs himself a cup. 
He quickly pours the coffee and adds a little bit of sugar before turning back to me. “Let’s go,” he says as he walks over to me and I nod. 
Together we walk through the hallways and some of the labs before coming up to Archie’s computer lab. We see him sitting at the computer, just watching the feed as we walk up next to him. 
“How’s he doing?” Warrick asks as he walks up to the chair next to Archie, who looks over at him. 
“Hard to say… about the same, I guess,” he replies to Warrick before looking at me. 
“Hi, y/n,” Archie greets me with a small sympathetic smile and I give a small one back. 
“Hi, Arch. Is it ok if I eat my food in here? I just needed to see him,” I question him and he nods. 
“Definitely. Just don’t make it a habit,” he jokes and I smile at him again. 
“I promise I won’t,” I playfully joke back and he nods. 
“Here. You can have my chair. I’m gonna go get some coffee,” he informs us as he gets up and I send him a thankful smile. 
“Yeah,” Warrick agrees as he sets his coffee down on the table as I sit down next to him and Archie leaves. 
Once Archie is gone, I finally turn to the monitor and sigh when I see Nick. He just lays there so still, but I can tell he’s still breathing as his chest rises and falls. Warrick reaches up and rubs at his tired eye before holding his balled up fist next to his mouth and looking over at me. 
“Eat,” he tells me as he taps my leg under the bench, effortlessly pulling me out of my fixed stare on Nick. 
I nod and lift the bowl up before taking a bite. I chew slowly and the food doesn’t taste as bad as before, but it’s still hard to get myself to eat. Nick then turns to the air vent that’s to his left and breathes before the video slowly closes out. 
The ‘YOU CAN ONLY WATCH’ pops up again and Warrick quickly moves to click the link again. The video comes back on and Nick mouths something, but it’s hard to make out. I continue to take many slow bites of the food and soon it’s gone. 
I set the bowl on the table and Warrick looks over at me, then the bowl. “Good job, mamas,” he praises me and I nod my thanks. He pulls me over and wraps an arm around my shoulder and I lean into it as we continue to just watch Nick in silence.
Again all too soon, though, the video goes off again and Warrick moves to click the link again. Nick mouths more words that are hard to make out and my eyes start to well up a bit. We continue to watch and it’s only a little later that we watch him take out some gum from his pocket. Warrick and I look at each other, intrigued before looking back at Nick as he chews the gum. 
He then takes the gun out of his mouth and shoves it in his ears. Warrick and I both sit up a little as we watch in wonder of what he’s doing. 
“What are you doing, Nicky?” Warrick voices the question we’re both thinking as Nick lays his head back for a moment. 
He reaches down to his side and I let out a gasp as his service weapon pops up. He holds onto the barrel for a moment and then takes it off. 
“What are you doing, Nicky?” Warrick voices again as we both fully get out of our chairs. 
He turns the barrel to his chin like he’s going to shoot himself and all the air leaves my chest as I quickly turn around. I regret turning around that fast as everything spins and the sick feeling from earlier returns. I close my eyes as I try to regain my equilibrium while I wait for Warrick to react in any way. 
“Don’t do it, Nicky!”  Warrick exclaims as he continues to watch when I can’t. 
“Ahhh!” Warrick shouts and I jump, a sob escaping my mouth. 
“You son of a bitch!” Warrick screams out and another sob leaves my throat as I bring my hand up to cover my mouth. 
The shock takes over and I slowly start to sink to the ground as all sounds become muffled. It’s only a second after my knees hit the ground that I hear Warrick again. 
“Shit. Y/n. He’s ok. Look, mama. Look. He just shot the light,” Warrick informs me as he comes over to me and lifts me up so I’m standing. 
“Look at the monitor, mama. Look,” he prompts me and I shake my head. 
“Come on. Look. He’s still alive…” he tells me and finally I listen. 
I look at the screen to see my husband still breathing and alive, just now he has a glow stick as his light. I let out another sob and turn to Warrick, throwing myself into his arms. He sighs and wraps his arms around me, rubbing my back as I continue to cry. 
“I’m so sorry you had to see that. I wasn’t expecting it and I should have. I am so, so sorry mamas,” he apologizes as he leaves a kiss on the side of my forehead. 
“I…it’s ok, B. You… you couldn’t have known,” I tell him though my hiccups as he holds my head to his shoulder and sighs. 
Tumblr media
Warrick’s Pov: 
After Nick shot out the light, I held a sobbing y/n in my arms for a few minutes. She cried until she made herself tired and fell asleep on my arm. I carefully carried her back to the break room and set her on the couch. 
I make sure her head is on the pillow and then cover her with the blanket she’s been using. She lets out a puff of air and I smile sadly at the girl who’s like my baby sister. I make sure she stays asleep and I’m glad when she does, knowing she desperately needs it. 
I sigh as I run my hands over my face. I decide to leave, knowing if she wakes and needs me she’ll come find me. I walk to the locker room and open my locker, but stop before I get anything out of it. 
I rub my forehead as my emotions start to hit. It’s then that I remember that only just this morning I had been laughing and talking with Nick in this very spot. I slam my locker closed and sit back on the bench he’d sat on before taking a deep breath. 
The tears started to flow and I let them for a while, just taking time for myself. After a few minutes, Catherine walks in and looks at me. 
“Griss wants you, me, and Greg back at the scene. He wants us to look for anything else we can find,” she informs me and I rub my face. 
“Ok. Let me just get my gear and jumpsuit. I’ll meet you guys there?” I ask and she nods before turning around and leaving. 
I take a moment of silence just to try to process everything before sighing and pushing myself up off the bench. I quickly grab all my gear and head out to my car to drive back to the scene. 
Tumblr media
When I arrive, Catherine walks over to my car and I turn it off before getting out. I walk to the back to get my kit out and she walks with me. 
“Greg and I decided that we should split up. Divide and conquer,” she explains and I nod as I pull my kit out and close the trunk. 
“Ok. Who’s doing what?” I ask her and she points at Greg as we walk in. 
“Greg’s on sifting, I’m taking the car, so that leaves you with mapping,” she answers me and I nod as I set my kit down. 
“Well, let’s get to it, then,” I comment and she nods before going over to the car. 
I pull out my clipboard and start to map the place as Catherine takes photographs of the car. Greg sifts through all the stuff that we put into the sifting bucket and we all quietly work on our individual projects for a bit. 
After a little while of mapping, it seems hopeless and I roll my eyes as I rip the pieces of paper off of my pad. I throw it down to the floor and try to start over. 
“Hey. I found a trigger wire,” Greg announces as he holds it up. 
“Maybe once we reassemble all the components, we’ll be able to tell where the bomb came from. Maybe…” Greg starts to explain in hope, but I roll my eyes. 
“Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe if we count up all the damn ‘maybes’, maybe Nick will be alive!” I cut him off, shouting in anger as I kick a container in front of my foot. 
“You know what I’m saying?!” I shout as the container lands next to Greg, spilling onto the ground. 
“Was that necessary?!” Greg shouts back as he stands up. 
“Never mind my clothes. Look at the evidence!” Greg shouts as he motions to his clothes before throwing his clipboard aside as he looks over the evidence. 
“Damn it!” I shout as I throw my clipboard down and turn away from him. 
I walk off to the side, my anger seething as I try to push it down. I stop just in front of the door as Catherine calls out to me. 
“Hey. Warrick. Hey,” she says, walking up to me as I turn around to look at her. 
“Hey. How you holding up?” she asks as she rubs my arm ever so slightly. 
“I’m not,” I tell her as I take my glove off and cross my arms, only to uncross them.
“I know,” she comments as she reaches up and moves her mask a bit. 
“I just can’t help but think that could have been me in that box. You know?” I voice my thoughts to her and suck in a breath of air. 
“We flipped a coin for that trash run,” I add on and tears brim my eyes. 
“Hey. Nick is not inside a box because of the flip of a coin,” Catherine cuts in before I can continue. 
“If that was me, I would’ve… mmm…” I cut her off, my voice rising as I point to my head like I'd shoot myself before rubbing my finger at my forehead. 
“Hey. You know what? I know you. I don’t believe that,” she says with her voice rising as she points at my chest and I back away a bit. 
“Okay?!” she asks and I look at the ground. 
“No. You’re wrong. I wouldn’t have lasted this far,” I tell her and she shakes her head, scoffing lightly in disbelief. 
“You’ve taken care of y/n better than anyone else. I DON’T believe that,” she reiterates herself and I shake my head. 
“I had to hold y/n as she cried herself to sleep today. That’s something I never wanted to ever have to do…” I tell her and she sighs as I pause for a moment. 
“Catherine, if something happens to Nick… If we don’t bring him back in one piece… she’ll be done for. I don’t think y/n can handle it. I promised her I’d get him home,” I inform her and her eyes widen. 
“You prom-” she starts, but stops when Greg calls out for us. 
“Hey, guys, come here,” Greg shouts and Catherine turns around.  
“I found something,” he adds on as we both start walking over to him. 
“Look at this,” he tells us once we’re next to him. 
He lifts a bottle of liquid and pours it on the dirt. He pours it in a line with it turning the sand a little darker and sets the bottle back down to the side. 
“There’s something underneath there,” he comments as he looks up at us. 
Catherine is the first to bend down and help him. They start pushing the sand away with their hands and I use my foot. Once we see something else poke through, I bend down with them and together we all use our hands to push the dirt away. 
“Oh, it’s got an edge. Right here,” I tell them as I reach for it. 
“All right,” I say as we each move around, still moving sand. 
“Another one over here,” Greg calls out as we continue to all feel around in the sand. 
“Greg, get some crowbars,” Catherine shouts out and Greg immediately jumps up. 
He runs off only to come back a few seconds later. He tosses me a crowbar and hands one to Catherine. 
“You think Nick could be under here?” Greg questions as we each grab onto our crowbars and start trying to pry it open. 
“I don’t know, man. It would have to be at least six feet long,” I answer him as we continue to pry at it. 
Finally it starts to open and together we all push the board away to find more dirt. I sink my crowbar into the dirt and start to dig out as much dirt as I can.
“Yeah, but if he buried him lengthwise— and who’s to say he didn’t— he could be,” Catherine explains the way that she thinks he could possibly be below us. 
She puts her mask back on before she and Greg help me dig. I quickly race over and grab our shovels. I hand them both one and together we all dig with the shovels as fast as we can. 
About halfway through, Catherine and Greg take a break as others come in to take over for them. I keep going in hopes of finding him so I can get him home to his wife. We all keep digging and digging until finally I hit something. 
“I hit something,” I announce as I hit it a couple more times with the shovel to make sure. 
I throw my shovel to the side and bend down to it. I quickly make work of moving the last little bit of sand aside. I finally get down to it and we can see what’s underneath it all now. 
“It’s plexiglass,” Catherine observes as I keep moving sand away. 
“Nick!” I yell out in hopes of getting a response. 
“Nick?” Catherine yells out after me as we keep going with our hands. 
“Nick, hold on there, buddy!” I shout as I keep going. 
“Nick?!” Catherine shouts as we finally can see into the box. Only instead of finding Nick, we find a Dalmatian inside the box. 
“What?” Catherine says in confusion as we look down at it. 
“It’s a dog,” she shouts out and sighs as she starts to rub her forehead. “It’s a dog,” she reiterates herself as she starts to cry. 
I huff in anger as I shake my head before standing up and walking off. I shout out as I kick another container in frustration. 
“Who’s gonna tell y/n?” Greg asks and I sigh, letting my head hang. 
“I will,” I say and Catherine shakes her head. 
“No. I’ll tell Griss and he’ll tell her. I still need you to look over this once we get it out of the ground,” Catherine explains and I sigh, looking at her. 
“But it’s not out of the ground yet. Please let me go tell her. She’ll need me. I’ll look it over when you guys get it to the lab, but I’m the only one keeping her going. This will deviate her, I need to be there,” I beg Catherine, who sighs before nodding in agreement. 
“Yeah. Ok. Go. I’ll let you know when it’s at the lab,” she agrees and I nod, jumping up and getting my stuff. 
“Thanks, Catherine!” I yell out to her and she nods, waving me off. 
I quickly head to my car and put my kit in before getting in myself. I sit back in my seat with a sigh as I mentally prepare to go tell y/n. With one last deep breath, I start my car up and head back to the lab.

Summary: Reader is Alex’s sister, but she also happens to be Luke’s best friend. She’s the person he always runs to for anything. so it doesn’t really come as a shock to anyone that she died alongside them. Reader also really hates shoes so it’s a huge shock to the boys when they find her hanging out around home in the one thing she really hates: shoes. 
Please refrain from stealing our work, thank you and please enjoy!!

Y/n’s Pov: {December 12th, 1995} 
I stand off to the side of the stage by a table with my brother's and best friend’s towels in my hand. I wiggle my toes against the cold floor and smile at the soothing feeling. I hold my shoes with my socks stuffed in them and on my shoulder is my brother's fanny pack. 
I lightly drop my shoes down to the ground before pulling the fanny pack around to my front to get out a piece of gum. The boys start playing Now or Never, making me smile as I watch them dance around. I watch as they play and I see Luke look down at my feet before chuckling and shaking his head, then starting to sing. 
♪ Take off, last stop
Countdown 'til we blast open the top
Face first, full charge
Electric hammer to the heart ♪
I smile at the passion my brother and best friend have up on the stage. All the boys are sweating as they jump around and jam to the music. I continue to dance around and Luke keeps smiling when he looks at me, making my stomach flip every time. 
♪ Clocks move forward
But we don't get older, no
Kept on climbing
'Til our stars collided
And all the times we fell behind
Were just the keys to paradise ♪
Luke sings and as they come up onto the next part the others join in on the verse. I stop dancing for a moment to watch as Luke finishes his line so passionately. I smile at him as I wiggle my toes a bit. 
♪ Don't look down
'Cause we're still rising
Up right now
And even if we hit the ground ♪
They all end the last verse together and Luke sings the next part. He continues to smile at me like a lovesick puppy and I can’t help but do the same. I watch in awe as he sings like he’s singing to me and I find myself wishing he would be. 
Being best friends with the guy you're in love with and one of your brother's best friends is hard. Alex of course knows how I feel, heck, he pegged me liking Luke even before I realized it. But he’d never in a million years spill my secrets. 
♪ We'll still fly
Keep dreaming like we'll live forever
But live it like it's now or never ♪
I blush lightly when Luke winks at me as he sings his heart out. He smirks when he sees my reaction, then goes back to singing and I wiggle my feet some more as they continue with the song. 
♪ Hear the noise in my head
It's calling out like a voice I can't forget
One life, no regrets
Catch up, got no time to catch my breath ♪
Luke continues to look at me and I can’t help but to have an overwhelming feeling of love for him even though we are very much not a couple. I move over and take Alex’s fanny pack off my shoulder and grab my water off the stool I had set it on. As I move the floor is colder on my feet and I can’t help but smile as I wiggle my toes again. 
♪ And clocks move faster
'Cause it's all we're after now, oh ♪
Luke finishes the last line and nods at Reggie for him to come sing with him. Reggie goes over to him and they sing together into the mic, facing each other and I smile even more. 
♪ Won't stop climbing
'Cause this is our time, yeah ♪
Reggie and Luke sing the line together, then Luke smiles as he pushes Reggie back to his spot on the stage as he continues to sing into his mic alone. Luke turns and looks back at me with a huge grin. He shakes his head again, but never wavers in his singing. 
♪ When all the days felt black and white
Those were the best shades of my life ♪
When Luke is done with the last line, they all come in to sing the next part and I sway with the song. If we were in the garage, I’d be full on rocking out, but we aren’t, so I dial my dancing down a bit. 
♪ Don't look down
'Cause we're still rising
Up right now
And even if we hit the ground ♪
When they all finish, it goes back to Luke, who continues to have the most energy on the stage. I continue to lightly dance as my best friend and brother seem to push their passion on me. 
♪ We'll still fly
Keep dreaming like we'll live forever ♪
After Luke sings his line, the guys come back in to sing with him again. Now I quietly sing along, still enjoying the coolness of the floor on my feet.
♪ But live it like it's now or never ♪
When they all finish singing, Alex takes his part and Reggie does the background parts. I smile as my brother seems to have found something that makes him happy, which makes me happy. 
♪ We ain't searching for tomorrow (tomorrow)
'Cause we got all we need today (today) ♪ 
Once Alex and Reggie finish, Luke takes over singing again. I see Alex look at me briefly and I give him a thumbs up in encouragement with a huge grin. He smiles as he quickly gets back into it and I can’t help but smile proudly. 
♪ Living on a feeling that's been running through our veins ♪
After Luke’s line, Reggie then takes over this time to sing his part. I smile as Reggie, who's normally more shy than the others, gladly sings his part without even an ounce of shyness.
♪ We're the revolution that's been singing in the rain ♪
After Reggie sings they all come in again, but this time they bring claps into the mix. I smile as I clap along to their beat while they sing.
♪ Don’t look down 'Cause we're still rising up right now and even if we hit the ground ♪
“They're good, yeah?” A girl comes up and starts to clean the table that I’m next to. I turn to her with a smile. 
“Yeah, they really are. I'm proud to call the lead singer my best friend and the drummer my brother,” I say as we bop our heads to the very end of Now or Never. 
“You're one lucky girl to have their music in your life everyday,” she says and I smile. 
“Yeah, I am,” I say, turning back to watch the boys as I continue to dance lightly to the song. 
“Let me guess… don’t like shoes?” she asks as she points down to my feet while moving to a new table. 
“Yeah. I just don’t really like the construction of them…” I admit as I look down at my own shoeless feet. 
“My sister used to be the same. Then she started having to wear them more for pilates… that new workout thing…?” she explains before trailing off and I nod. 
“Yeah I’ve heard of it,” I tell her and she nods. 
“Well when she started that, she started wearing more workout shoes and now she loves them,” she continues to explain and I smile at her. 
“I don’t think I’ll ever be one to wear shoes. My mom tells me she’d put me in some when I was little and then not even two seconds later, Alex or Luke would be telling her I took them off,” I explain with a giggle and she giggles too. 
“Well that sounds like you definitely love being shoeless,” she comments and I nod in agreement. 
“Oh I definitely do,” I tell her and she grins before going back to whatever she was doing beforehand. 
♪ We'll still fly
Keep dreaming like we'll live forever
But live it like it's now or never
It's now or never (now or never) ♪
Just as we finish our conversation, the boys are finishing up and I smile as they all pat each other’s back. They stay on the stage, basking in the feeling, then they talk for a minute before coming down to where I’m standing.
“Hey, sweetheart. What'd you think? Wasn’t that awesome?!” Luke uses the nickname he’s always had for me, but I can’t help but wish it was in a different way. 
In all his sweaty glory, he comes over to hug me from behind. I squeal before giggling, nodding as he lets go of the hug and grabs his towel from my shoulder.
“Yeah, hon, it was electric,” I agree with him as I use my pet name for him and smile when Alex puts his arm over my shoulder. 
“I was on fire, sis!” he exclaims and I smile. 
“Yes you were, Lex!” I concur with a nod before giving my brother a kiss on the cheek. 
“Anyway sweetheart, we’re going to get street dogs to celebrate. You gonna come?” Luke asks as he now replaces Alex's arm with his. 
“Yeah, I think I will,” I reply and Luke smiles before giving my cheek a kiss. I push back the thought that I wish that could be a kiss on the lips. 
“Well if you’re coming, you should put your shoes back on,” Alex tells me as he bends down to pick up my shoes. 
“Do I have too?!” I whine out like a five year old, making both Luke and Alex laugh. 
“Yes, sweetheart. You have to. I promise you can take them off as soon as we get to the alley,” Luke tells me and I grin at him. 
“Ok. I guess I can,” I reluctantly agree as Alex hands me my shoes, rolling his eyes before giving me the ‘we are so talking about this later’ look. 
“I’ll put them back on here in a minute,” I assure them and they both nod before Alex grabs his fanny pack along with my water. 
“Hey! Bobby, where are you going?!” Luke asks as we watch Bobby go up to the girl I talked to earlier.
“I’m good,” he replies, turning back to Luke for a moment with a shrug before he goes back to the girl with all of us now following. 
“Vegetarian. I could never hurt an animal,” Bobby boasts as he tries to flirt with the poor girl. 
We all come up next to him and Luke puts his other arm up onto Bobby’s shoulder. He holds my hand with his other hand, something we’ve just always done platonically. Reggie stands next to me with an arm on Alex’s shoulder as Alex is on the other side of him. 
“You guys are really good,” the girl praises them and smiles at the boys. 
“Thank you,” Luke sheepishly says with a big smile on his face. 
“I see lots of bands. Been in a couple myself. I was really feeling it,” she emphasizes as she looks at us. 
“That’s what we do this for. I’m Luke, by the way,” Luke continues to flirt with her and my stomach twists with jealousy. 
But then Luke squeezes my hand and I smile at the fact that it’s for no reason but to let me know he loves me. We’ve always done that when one of us seems to be upset, just as a sign of ‘I’m here, you’re ok,’ to calm the other. It’s our way of saying we love one another without having to say it, always has been and always will be. Again, Alex gives me a look and I shrug, making him roll his eyes. 
“Hi, I’m Reggie,” Reggie introduces himself in a flustered tone. 
“Alex,” Alex chimes in, putting a hand up in a wave. 
“Y/n.. nice to meet you,” I interject with a sweet smile as I lift my hand and give a small wave like my brother did.
“Bobby,” Bobby chirps as he pushes Luke behind him a bit. 
“I’m Rose. Nice meeting you guys,” the girl says amusedly, and smiles a beautiful smile.
Luke then gives Bobby a wet willie and I giggle lightly when he does. I then hold a shoe out to Alex and he nods as he takes my left shoe to hold it for me. With my right shoe I take my sock out and Alex takes the right one as well. 
Tumblr media
I bend down and Luke keeps a hold on my arm to balance me. I smile up at him in thanks, then finish putting my socks and shoes on.
Tumblr media
“Oh, uh, here’s our demo. And a tee shirt, size beautiful,” Reggie croons, now flirting as well and I roll my eyes as I stand up right again. 
“Thanks. I’ll be sure not to wipe down the tables with this one,” she jokes as she holds it up to herself before she throws it over her shoulder.
“Oh, good call! Whenever they get wet, they kinda just fall apart in your hands,” Alex informs her and I smirk at him as he bashfully looks away. 
“Don’t you guys have to go get hot dogs?” Bobby asks as he tries to get us all to leave so he can be with Rose. 
“Yeah. He had a hamburger for lunch,” Luke informs Rose as he pushes Bobby back so he can talk to Rose. He then pushes off the table with his hands and grabs my hand again before leaving. 
“That’s what I’m talking about!” Luke exclaims and Reggie giggles as we all walk out the back door of the Orpheum. 
“The smell of sunset boulevard?” Alex asks and I snort as I start to giggle before groaning. 
“The shoes?” Alex asks me and I nod.
“No. It’s what that girl said in there tonight,” Luke explains as he swings our hands back and forth and kicks the puddle that’s in front of us. 
“About our music, right? It’s like an energy. It connects us with people,” he elaborates and I smile even though in my mind I’m only wanting to take my shoes off. 
“I mean, he’s got a point Lex, that’s what connected me and Luke,” I agree and Luke smiles, pulling me in so I’m against his side with his arm around my shoulders. 
“She’s not wrong, man, but they can feel us when we play. I want that connection with everybody,” Luke bursts happily and pulls the boys into our little huddle as well. 
“Then we’re gonna need more t-shirts,” Reggie jokes as he holds up one of the sunset curve shirts I helped them make a couple weeks ago and the rest of us laugh. 
“Let’s go,” Luke playfully orders and I giggle as Luke pulls me closer to leave a kiss to the side of my forehead. 
“I love you,” I muse, making him smile. 
“I love you too, precious,” he parrotes me, making me grin and nuzzle into his side. 
Out of my peripheral I see Alex shake his head lightly and I only cuddle Luke closer. Alex lets out a huff and I shrug as Luke lets go of me. 
“Let’s go boys,” Luke commands as pops his hood up over his head as we all head to the front of the Orpheum. “And best friend,” Luke adds, making me giggle. 
We continue walking forward until we pass a group of girls who are all talking and not noticing anything at all. 
“Ladies,” Reggie croons as he walks up to them and hands them the leftover shirts he has. 
We stop and wait for him as he hands them the shirts before coming back to us. Then we all continue walking and the girls open the shirts only to let out a scream. 
“Reggie, wait!” One of the girls yells out, making me giggle as Reggie smirks. 
We walk for a while before coming up to the alley to get our hot dogs. We get our hot dogs from the cook before we each pile condiments onto them from the back of an Oldsmobile. 
“Man…. I can’t wait until we eat someplace where the condiments aren’t served out of the back of an Oldsmobile,” Alex states as he turns to Luke and then walks off to the owner. 
“I mean, I can’t say I don’t agree,” I tell Luke and he chuckles as he grabs my hand. 
“Hey… sorry I got some pickle juice on your battery cables,” Alex informs the much older man and I hold back a giggle. 
“No problem. It’ll help with the rust,” the older man jokes with a laugh. 
“That can’t…. okay. What?” Alex asks in confusion, then just deciding to let it go as he walks away from the man. He shakes his head and I giggle when he comes back up next to me. 
“Confused?” I ask him and he nods. 
“Duh!” he tells me and I snort out a giggle. 
We walk over to a couch with our food and sit down. Reggie sits farthest to the left and Luke sits next to him before pulling me down onto his lap and Alex shakes his head as he sits down next to Luke. I push my hot dog into Alex’s hand and he rolls his eyes. 
“Uhh, ok sure. I’ll hold it for you, sis,” he sarcastically jokes and I giggle. 
I reach down and quickly pull off one shoe along with its sock before ripping the other off. I lean back into Luke with a sigh and he chuckles as I take my hot dog back from Alex. 
“This is awesome, you guys. We’re playing the Orpheum! I can’t even count how many bands have played here and ended up being huge,” Luke says excitedly as he keeps his arm around me while holding his hot dog with the other.
“We’re gonna be legends!” Luke exclaims with a smile. 
“Yes, you guys will be. And I’ll be right beside you the whole time,” I agree and promise them with a big smile. 
“Eat up, sweetheart. You too, boys. Cause after tonight, everything changes,” Luke informs us as he squeezes my hip while holding his hot dog in the air. 
We all put our hotdogs together as if toasting to something, then each take a big bite.
“That’s a new flavor,” Alex mentions with a mouth full of hotdog while looking at us. 
“Chill man, street dogs haven’t killed us yet,” Reggie jokes, making me giggle. 
“I mean he’s got a point. We’ve been eating here for how long?” I ask with a shrug before we all continue to eat.
Little did we know, the hotdogs had bad chemicals in them, chemicals that aren't good to ingest at all.
Y/n’s Pov:{2020 after the Orpheum performance} 
“Knock knock,” I speak as I stick my head through Julie's bedroom door. 
“Ahh, if it isn’t my favorite ghost that actually has manners. You can come all the way in,” Julie jokes as she turns to look at me and I grin as I step all the way in. 
“Hi, Julie. Yeah, the guys are not well mannered, that's something we can agree on,” I say with a laugh and she smiles, also laughing. 
“Come to get away again?” she asks and I quickly turn away from her before starting to look around her room again. 
“Yeah… he’s just…” I sigh and shake my head as I make my way to her closet. 
“Infuriating?” she fills in for me and I bite my lip as I nod. 
I start to look around her closet and find a shirt I really like. Smiling, I pull it off the hanger and turn to her as I hold it up. 
“Can I try this on?” I ask her and she nods as she gets up and grabs a notebook off her chair. 
“Sure. Just don’t do what your boyfriend apparently likes to do,” she tells me with a giggle as she sits back down and I pull it off the hanger. 
“One, he’s not my boyfriend. Two, Alex tells that story too much. It was one time!” I quickly defend Luke as I walk over to the mirror to slip it on over my shirt and Julie shakes her head. 
“Whatever, just make sure it stays the way it is and comes back to me,” she jokes and I roll my eyes in the mirror at her. 
“Yeah, yeah. One time. One time Luke steals a shirt and cuts it up, then we both become shirt villains,” I joke as I turn to look at her. 
“Well? Does it look good on me?” I ask her as I hold my arms out and spin a little. 
“Yeah. It does. Go ahead and borrow it whenever you want to,” she tells me when she looks up at me from writing and I grin at her.
“Thank you, Jules,” I tell her and she smiles sweetly back at me. 
“Of course. That’s what girlfriends are for,” Julie says as she continues to write in her book. 
“I’ve never really had girl friends. I’ve only ever had the boys…” I tell her, my voice thick with emotion and she gets up from the bed. 
“Well, you have me and Flynn now,” she tells me as she comes up beside me. 
“Wanna try on anything else?” she asks and I shrug, making her smile. 
“Really y/n, it’s ok. Try whatever you like,” she reiterates to me and I grin, making her smile as she goes and sits back on her bed. 
I excitedly walk over to her closet and look through it. I look at her shirts for a few minutes, but nothing jumps out at me. I sigh and let my head fall with my eyes falling closed, making Julie chuckle. 
“Nothing speaks to ya, huh?” she asks and I huff, opening my eyes. 
My eyes light up as I see something and Julie seems to notice as she once again gets up to come over to me. I bend down and pick them up with a smile on my face. Julie watches me carefully as I straighten up and look at her. 
“Do you have socks by chance? I don’t know if mine would even be in the bags in the garage or not. I never really kept any around,” I say excitedly and she smiles, walking over to her dresser. 
“Sure, what kind do you normally like?” she asks as she opens the drawer.
“Umm, you got any knee high?” I ask and she gives me a devilish smile. 
“Oh, I’ve got many…” she tells me as she begins to pull a bunch out:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Julie lays out pair after pair and I marvel at all her choices of knee high socks. I find it hard to pick my favorite pair and Julie chuckles. 
“Pick two or three favorites and you can keep them along with the shoes,” Julie tells me and my head snaps up to look at her. 
“Really? I can keep the shoes and two pairs of socks?” I ask and she nods, smiling. 
“The shoes aren’t really my favorite anymore, so yeah. Keep ‘em. I also don’t really wear the knee highs anymore,” she says with a laugh as she motions to all the socks she has. 
“Thank you, Jules,” I tell her and she smiles, nodding at me. 
“There’s so many new patterns from when I was younger. How will I ever pick?” I ask and she chuckles as she lifts a pair off the bed. 
“I think you’d like these maroon ones or maybe the navy blue, but if you're ever looking to impress a certain someone, then I’d take one of the music notes,” she tells me as she lifts each one to show me. 
“I’ll take the maroon and the yellow and black ones, those ones kinda remind me of when Luke used to call me bee…” I fondly tell her as I pick up the socks before looking up at her to see she has an amused look on her face. 
“What?” I ask and she giggles. 
“He used to call you, bee? Really?” she asks and I blush lightly. 
“It was because bumblebee was my favorite transformer. He used it when we were like 8!” I exclaim when she raises an eyebrow at me. 
“Ok. No, that's actually a very cute reason…” she admits as she crosses her arms and I smile. 
“Isn’t it, though? If Lex were here he’d totally be gagging and rolling his eyes,” I tell her and she chuckles. 
“I could totally see that. Alex seems very protective over you,” she agrees with me and I roll my eyes. 
“You have no idea,” I joke and she laughs again. 
“You can come take my socks whenever. Like I said, I don’t wear them very often. But keep those ones, they’re yours now,” she tells me with a grin and I grin back. 
“Really, thank you,” I tell her again and she shrugs. 
“Hey. It’s nothing. I know you hate shoes, so if you like those and I mean really like them, go right ahead and keep ‘em,” she tells me with a smile and I jump up, grabbing the shoes and socks. 
“I’ll see you later. Thank you for my new shoes and socks. You think Luke will like ‘em? They match his…” I say in a bashful tone and Julie smirks. 
“I’m sure he’ll love them. Heck, he’ll probably just like seeing you excited about shoes for once,” Julie jokes with another shrug and I giggle. 
“You're right. I’ll see you later?” I ask her and she nods, grinning. 
“Got a gig with the boys tonight so I’m sure I’ll see you there. You never pass our gigs up,” she tells me as she starts picking up the other socks. 
“That’s ‘cause I’m the cheerleader. I cheer everyone on, especially now that I’m more of a background manager now that Flynn’s the real manager,” I admit and she shakes her head. 
“You’re part of the team too, even if you do more background stuff. Plus, I think of you more as our stylist than a cheerleader. Those shirts you used to make were awesome. Not to mention how you dressed the guys and me for the last gig,” she raves and I blush at all the praise. 
“Oh… that was nothing, really,” I wave her compliment off and she shakes her head. 
“Y/n, take the compliment. You're awesome at style,” she demands and I slowly smile while nodding. 
“Ok… ok. Thank you,” I tell her shyly and she laughs. 
“Now go try your new shoes out,” she jokes with me, rolling her eyes with a smile and I grin. 
“Ok. See you later!” I wave at her and she waves back. 
I quickly walk out of her room—when she opened the door I have no clue, probably when my head was buried in the closet—and I decide to just apparate to the garage. My feet lightly land on the garage floor and I quickly rush over to the couch. 
I put the bumblebee striped socks on, then the shoes and smile when I finish tying them. I stand up and grin as I dance around a little bit. Soon I get bored waiting for the guys so I decide to figure out the guy’s clothes for the gig tonight. 
I go up into the loft where all of our clothes are and look through Alex’s first. I find him a real nice light pink shirt, knowing he’d want his pink. I then look through his pants and find him one of his many pairs of black sweats. 
I then go over to his new collection of fanny packs and find him a nice jean jacket style one. I lay that all out and look over it. I then grab one of his many snapback hats and add it in. 
The blue of the snapback pairs perfectly with the fanny pack and I decide to let him pick shoes, making me smile as I’m satisfied with the outfit. I then move on to Luke’s outfit, starting with his favorite skull shirt and lay it out. I start to riffle through his pants when I hear the boys land downstairs from apparating. 
“Sweetheart, where are you?” I hear Luke shout out and I smile. 
“In the loft, Lukey!” I shout back and smile when I find the right pants. 
“There you are. Come down and cuddle?” he asks me and I shake my head, smiling more. 
“Sorry, Lukey boy. Can’t. I’ve still got yours, Reggie’s, and Julie's outfits to do before tonight,” I sadly tell him and he frowns. 
“But… if you help me, maybe I can get them done faster,” I appeal to him and he takes a moment to think it over before his frown slowly turns to a smile. 
“Deal,” he tells me and I smile softly at him as he comes closer. 
“Ok. Do you want to finish your outfit then while I start on Regsters?” I ask and he laughs.
“What?” I ask him and he chuckles. 
“You haven’t called Reggie Regsters since we were like ten,” he tells me with a smirk and I shrug. 
“I guess I’m just feeling very nostalgic today,” I comment as I continue to put Reggie’s outfit together. 
“Ok. I’m done with Reginald’s. Are you done with yours?” I ask as I turn around to look at him and again he has a smirk on. 
“What is with you today? Old nicknames and full names?” he asks and I giggle as I look over what he’s added to his outfit. 
“I really don’t know. I was hanging out with Jules today and for some reason it’s put me in a very weird happy and nostalgic mood,” I explain as I give his outfit a few minor changes. 
When I finish his outfit I fully stand up and when I do, I hear him let out a gasp. I look at him and realize he’s looking down at my feet. 
Tumblr media
I grin as I stand on my heels, letting my toes angle out before bringing them back in. 
“Oh! Jules gave me ‘em. Aren’t they rockin’?” I ask and he gives me a sideways look. 
“Sweetheart, don’t get me wrong, they are rockin’, but why are you wearing them? You hate shoes…” he asks me and I feel a blush creep up my neck. 
“I really liked them and Julie told me I could have them, so I took them. Do you not like them? They match yours…” I tell him as I bite my lip as I look down at them. 
“No. I love them. It’s just… I’m not used to seeing you wear shoes, sweetie,” he explains as he comes over to me. 
“Oh…ok. I liked em ‘cause they matched yours. Not to mention they’re  too,” I meekly point out and I hear him chuckle. 
“Is that all we had to do all these years to get you to wear shoes? Just find you a pair that matched mine?” he asks, making me look up at him and my breath gets caught in my throat with how close he is. 
If I moved just a little bit more, my lips could touch his. Oh how badly I want to just surge forward and close the small distance, but I don’t. I look down at his lips before quickly looking back up at his eyes in hopes he didn’t catch it. To my relief, it seems like he didn’t. 
“If that’s the case, we shoulda done that years ago,” he jokes and I just watch him as he keeps a smile on his face. 
“Hey. What’s wrong?” he asks me, snapping me out of my thoughts. 
“Oh… nothing, I promise. Just… stuck in thought I guess,” I tell him with a shrug before going around him to try and go down the ladder. 
“Hey. No. I know something is up, y/n. Come on, you can tell me,” he prompts me as he grabs my hand and pulls me back to him. 
“Really. It’s nothing. I’m fine…” I try to lie the best I can, knowing he’ll read me like an open book. 
“No. You’re not leaving till you tell me what’s wrong…” he informs as he again pulls me back, but this time he pulls me into a hug and holds me there. 
“Lukey… come on. Let me go. I can’t talk to you about it, ok…?” I plead with him and he gives me a confused look. 
“What can’t you tell me? You tell me everything, sweetheart. It’s ok. You can tell me,” he promises and I sigh, realizing he won’t be letting this go. 
“I can’t tell you because it’s about you. You’ll stop talking to me and I don’t want that,” I admit in a fast jumble of words. 
“What do you mean it’s about me? Did I do something to make you upset with me? I’m sorry if I did,” he quickly apologizes and I shake my head. 
“Goodness no, Luke… I… uh… like someone…” I tell him as I bite my lip and his face falls. 
“Oh. So you’re…” he trails off and I nod. 
“Yeah. I’m in love with you…” I admit sheepishly and his eyes widen. 
“Wait, what?!” he asks and I give a nervous giggle. 
“What did you think I meant?” I ask him and he chuckles. 
“I thought you were trying to tell me you were going to go out with another guy. Ya know, dial everything back…” he explains with a slow smile making way to his face. 
“Oh… well, no…” I again nervously trail off and he chuckles again. 
“Sweetheart, look at me please…” he asks me and I do, only to see him smiling. 
“Wha-” I start off, but he cuts me off as he slams his lips to mine and I freeze. 
The kiss lasts for a few minutes and it's exactly how I always dreamed of it. At first, Luke kisses me and I can’t move out of shock, but once I’ve snapped out of it I kiss him back. Our lips move in sync and it’s so full of love. 
It’s nice and slow as Luke keeps his hands on my cheeks. My arms slowly wrap around his neck and I play with the hair at the nip of his neck. All too soon though, we are both pulling away for air. 
He lays his forehead against mine as he now wraps his arms around my waist and mine stay around his neck. He gives me one last peck before he’s smiling, making me smile too. 
“I’ve wanted to do that since fourth grade…” he whispers out as he nudges my nose with his. 
“Well… why didn’t you?” I ask him with a giggle when his face scrunches up. 
“Why didn’t you kiss me?” he sassily asks and I giggle again. 
“Because I didn’t know how you felt. I didn’t want to risk losing you,” I admit and he chuckles, shaking his head. 
“I had the same reasoning,” he admits and I grin before we both start laughing. 
“Wait, so we’ve both been oblivious idiots this whole time?” I ask and he nods while still laughing. 
“I could have told you that! As a matter of fact, I did!” Alex shouts from downstairs, making me and Luke laugh harder. 
“Well, that’s definitely one way to do it,” I giggle out and Luke shrugs. 
“I guess so, bee…” he says with a grin on his face and I immediately look down at my socks. 
“You figured it out!” I excitedly exclaim and he nods, smiling. 
“That I did. How could I forget about bee? Now if we had known that all we had to was get bumblebee striped socks and shoes that matched mine, maybe we would’ve had you in shows years ago,” Luke jokes with an eye roll and I scoff. 
“Oh, shut up. At least now I’m just like you,” I tell him with a grin and he smiles more, if that’s even possible. 
“Yes, you are and I love it,” he tells me with a smile before pulling me back to him by the waist. 
“Can I kiss you again?” he asks and I giggle. 
“Well you didn’t even ask the first time around, but you're lucky I love you or else it’d be a no,” I joke before realizing what I had actually said and I pause, waiting for his response. 
“I love you too, sweetheart,” he replies with a big cheeky smile and I can’t help but smile with him. 
“I’m going to kiss you now,” he jokingly tells me and I smile, nodding. 
He leans forward and kisses me again. This time feels just like the first, so full of love and care. I smile into the kiss as does he before again we’re pulling away. 
“You gonna come give me those cuddles now?” he asks and I laugh before playfully sighing. 
“I guess we can go cuddle now…” I reply playfully and he grins. 
“Ok. Come on,” he tells me and before I know it, I’m being pulled towards the ladder. 
We make it down to the bottom and he pulls me over to his couch before he’s plopping down onto it. He looks up at me before holding his arms out and doing grabby hands like a five year old would. I laugh as I sit down on the couch.
He wraps his arms around me and I cuddle into his chest. I sigh when all he brings is a protective warmth over me. Soon before I know it, my eyes slowly drop and I’m off into dreamland, sleeping peacefully in my best friend's arms (well, boyfriend now, I guess). Only the peaceful sleep doesn’t last very long because soon I’m jumping awake. 
“Are you wearing shoes?!” Alex shouts as I sleepily look up at him. 
“Yes, I am. Now go away, I’m going back to sleep,” I grumble as I cuddle back into Luke, who lets out a small breathy laugh and that’s the last thing I hear before falling back into a deep, peaceful sleep. 
The End…

Y/n’s Pov:
After Colby’s question, we all laugh and Sam throws his head down as he brings his closed fist up to his face. Once Sam calms down from laughing, he sits back up straight. 
“About the conjuring,” Cory reminds Sam. 
“The conjuring, yeah. Do you think that’s a decently accurate representation? Or do you not like it?” Sam asks as he keeps trying not to laugh. Colby continues to move the camera around, but he stays standing close to me. 
I’m turned in my seat now as we listen to what Cory has to say and Colby has my back against him as he keeps the camera above my head. 
“Honestly… like I personally like the movie. In as far as accuracy, from the people that lived through it and they said it's about half accurate. If you read the books that Andrea wrote, it was actually ten times worse in real life then the movie was,” Cory explains as he uses his hands to talk. 
“Really?! What?” Sam expresses his shock and Colby moves the camera onto him. 
“Whoa…” Amanda softly adds on. 
“She actually gave a copy of her books to the screenwriters and the screenwriters are like, ‘we can’t put this in the theater, we can’t get an R rating on it,’” he explains, expressing himself with his hands to lay out the details. 
“If we were trying to capture something, what would be, like, do you think the best plan of action for us to go about at night?” Sam asks and Colby moves a hand down to my shoulder when he feels me shiver lightly. 
“If you can go by yourself,” Cory says and Colby immediately lets out a gulp as Stas lets out an ‘oh my’. 
“I know… I know it’s hard, but that’s when you're most valuable and that’s when they like to make contact,” Cory explains in a very even-toned voice. 
“Alright, Sam! So, ummm…” Colby speaks up before clearing his throat. 
“Why is it always me?!” Sam shouts out and we all laugh as he rubs at his face with his hand. 
“Nose goes!” Colby yells out and everyone rushes to put their fingers to their noses. 
“Not me!” Stas proudly yells out. 
“Jesus… ahhh!” Colby yells out as he turns the camera on his own face, but he almost drops it on my head. 
“It’s y/n!” Kat yells out ,pointing to me and I groan. 
“That’s just not fair! One, I always lose nose goes, and two, it’s hard when you’re ducking from a camera almost hitting you in the head…” I say with a light pout as I cross my arms and everyone laughs at me. 
“I’m sorry, baby,” Colby says as he rubs my head and I shove his hand off. 
“No, you’re not,” I playfully fight back and he chuckles. 
“Yes, I am. I promise to be more careful,” Colby tells me as he rubs my shoulder. 
He then moves the camera out in front of him and gently pulls my neck back. He leans down and gives me a light kiss, making me smile. Once he’s done, he stands straight again and I sit straight. 
“Ok. Definitely editing that out,” Sam sarcastically says and I giggle obnoxiously on purpose. 
“Anyway… back to my question…” Sam says as he turns back to Cory. 
“Well, that and recording it. Not only on that, but like voice recorders and stuff like that,” Cory explains as he motions to the camera. 
“Because they will talk,” he continues, but stops as we all hear a noise and Amanda looks to the side. 
“You seein’ something over there?” Colby asks her as he holds the camera on her. 
“Yeah. Outside. They just keep walking by and walking by and walking by,” Amanda exclaims in indignation as she keeps her head toward the window. 
“Who? Who keeps walking by?” Colby asks her and she keeps her eyes trained on the window still. 
“There’s three men outside,” she tells us and as soon as she says that I start to feel sick. The feeling is very slight, but it’s still there. 
“Can you tell how they're dressed?” Cory asks Amanda after a moment of silence as she continues to watch the window. 
“They're all wearing the same thing…” she tells us before pausing to figure out how to describe it to us. 
“It’s like… it’s not white, it’s like beige. They all have hats on, but one of them has a different hat then the other,” Amanda continues to explain what she sees. 
“Wide brim?” Cory asks and Amanda gives out a light ‘yeah…’ as she continues to watch the window closely and Stas nervously scratches at her nose. 
“And there’s something shiny on their chests…” Amanda explains as she runs a hand over her chest to show us what she means. 
She watches for a few more minutes before turning back at us all. As soon as she turns, the very light sick feeling goes away. 
“Like, it almost seems like they're not aware of us going on. Or lights being on in here. Like they- they-” Amanda shares as she taps at the table. 
“They’ve been getting really…” she continues to explain, but a small whistle cuts her off and the sick feeling comes back again, but stays very light. 
“Did you hear that?” Stas asks in an agitated tone. 
“What was that?” Colby and Kat ask in unison as Colby moves the camera around. 
“That was- did you hear the whistle?” Colby asks everyone in a slightly panicked tone. 
“I heard a whistle,” Stas speaks up and I nod. 
“I heard it too. I heard it when Amanda was explaining what they looked like too,” I agree as I point at Stas from across the table. 
“Are you- recording?” Colby asks as he looks at Amanda. 
“I’m recording,” Amanda confirms as she motions to her camera. 
“We definitely just got a whistle,” Colby says in an astonished tone. 
“Yeah so that was something,” Kat says as she plays with her earring and Colby lets out a small ‘oh my God.’
“It might’ve been me,” Cory states and Sam uses his thumb to point at him. 
“What did you do?” Sam skeptically asks as he looks at Cory. 
“I’m fat,” Cory again states and Colby lets out a chortle. 
“How would that create a whistle?” Sam asks in amusement and we all burst out laughing. 
“I don’t know!” Cory tells Sam honestly and we all laugh. 
“I do-” he explains as he makes a quick inhaling sound. 
“No!” Amanda shouts. 
“No. No. It was like a whistle. Like it was distinct,” Stas states as she uses her hands while Colby says ‘like’ before he gives a small whistle. 
“It was very distinct. Not to mention every time I’ve felt sick, there was a whistle,” I add onto what Stas says with a nod. 
“Curious,” Cory says in interest as he rubs his beard. 
“That’s what I said down in the basement- or was it in the basement?” she asks, scrunching her eyebrows together. 
“No. That was upstairs,” both Amanda and Cory say in unison. 
“No I heard- I heard it,” Sam perks up after Kat asks him something. 
“You heard the whistle too?” Colby asks Sam as Sam looks up at him. 
“I heard it too!” Stas agrees with Sam. 
“I did too!” I agree as well. 
“I thought it was you guys,” Sam says as he points at Cory. 
“I thought it was you guys too! That’s why I looked at you guys like, did anyone hear that?” Stas explains as she points at me and Kat, making us both nod. 
“I was hoping it was an animal outside,” Amanda says, nervously taking her hands off the table. 
“Let's call Jen and see what she has to say,” Cory suggests as he pulls his phone out. 
He dials a number and it starts to ring before there’s the sound of her answering. Cory quickly explains the situation to her before pulling the phone away from his ear. He puts it on speaker before laying it down on the table and we all start to explain it to her. 
“Like they- they- they think they heard whistles?” Jen asks from over the phone as Amanda pushes play on the sound recording that was caught on her phone. 
“That was it,” Colby states in shock from behind Amanda and Kat points to the phone. 
“What was that knock?!” Stas asks from beside Amanda as she pauses the recording. 
“Go back…” Stas says, still in disbelief. 
“That was a laugh,” both Sam and Kat say in unison. 
“I agree, that was definitely a laugh…” I agree with them, but when I do I start to feel sick again. 
“There was a knock! You guys didn’t hear it?” Stas asks, still in shock as she looks up at Colby and she knocks on the table. 
“Ok… let’s listen again,” Amanda says as she holds her hands out as a way of telling us to be quiet. 
“Like, it almost seems like they're not aware of… us going on. Or lights being on in here. Like they- they-” We all listen as we hear Amanda share again though the recording. 
There’s a light scream behind her in the recording as she talks and both Sam and Kat look up, shocked. Kat then turns to me, the shock still on her face and I nod, telling her I heard it too. She puts a hand down to her side and I grab onto it. 
Kat squeezes my hand in the way Colby always does, but it doesn’t bring me as much relief as Colby’s touch does. I squeeze hers back before listening in on what else is going on. 
“Right there!” Colby shouts out when he hears the knock again. 
“There’s a knock…” Sam confirms as he nods. 
“You hear that! There was a knock!” Stas shouts and Sam nods at her. 
“It was like dun dun dun dun,” Colby agrees with her as he points the camera at them. 
We listen for a few more minutes, but soon we all collectively decide to move on. Colby comes back over behind me. His stomach sits flush with my upper back and the light sick feeling goes away again. 
“I’m going to record again, ‘cause clearly it’s going well for us. Umm. I can still hear the whistles playing back up there,” Amanda tells us all as she points behind Stas.
“Really?!” Stas asks her and Amanda just nods before turning to Cory. 
“Do you have um… noise canceling headphones by any chance?” she asks him and he gives her a small ‘yep’. 
“I would love to put noise canceling headphones on with the spirit box in here and have you guys ask questions,” Amanda tells us as she looks around at each of us. 
I tense up a bit and Colby reaches down with one hand to rub my shoulder. Once he feels me relax, he resumes holding the camera with both hands. I quickly move my head so I can look up at him and he looks down at me, giving me a light smile. 
“Oh, you wanna do the estes method?” Cory asks Amanda and she looks at him with confusion. 
“What?” she asks and Sam reaches up to take the camera from Colby. 
Colby comes back over to me and now that the camera isn’t on us, he bends down and wraps his arms around me. I cuddle back into him as I reach up and grab his hand. We stay like that for a few minutes before he walks back over and takes the camera from Sam again, standing behind him now. 
Again as he walks off, a light sickness comes upon me and I feel nauseous, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was earlier on. It’s like I’m nauseous, but at the same time I’m not. 
“It’s called the Estes method. Sensory deprivation. They can base their questions off of what you’re saying…” Cory explains before pausing and Amanda gives a light ‘okay,’ in response. 
“Or they say the questions first and see what your response is,” Cory explains as he points to our side of the table before pointing back to Amanda. 
“Alright, let’s see if they start speaking to me more than me just seeing them and we can decide. It’s up to you guys. It’s your video, I’m here to help you. Whatever you wanna do,” Amanda tells Sam and Colby as she looks at them. 
“Alright, that sounds awesome,” Sam agrees with her as he looks at Colby who just wiggles his eyebrows at Sam making me giggle at how weird the moment feels. 
“I will say, be careful how long you spend doing that,” Cory tells us. “If you go for too long, like it’s gonna mess you up,” he blatantly states while Amanda keeps humming in agreement and Colby lets out a small ‘dope,’ in shock. 
“Really?” Stas asks as she sits up from her hunched position and Cory gives a pointed ‘yeah,’. 
“Wait how?” Sam asks softly and Colby quickly turns the camera to a confused Sam. 
“It just… it just will. I…I… I don’t know how. I… I’m just telling you,” Cory stutters as he plays with his beard before shrugging. 
“It happened before, type thing?” Sam asks and Cory nods as he gives a small ‘yeah,’ of agreement. 
“If I start feeling something bad, I’ll cut it off,” Amanda tells Sam and Colby and they both nod at her. 
“Ok. Well, we’re going to go into a separate room to explain to the viewers for a moment,” Sam decides and Colby nods in agreement with him. 
“Ok. Well, I think us girls will stay here. Right?” Amanda asks as she looks at the rest of us. 
“I think so. Yeah,” Kat agrees with a shake of her head. 
“Ok. Well, we’ll be back then,” Sam tells us and Colby nods along with him. 
“So y/n, how’ve you been feeling?” Amanda asks as they walk out of the room. 
“I mean I’ve been mostly ok. I did feel a little sick when you mentioned the men walking outside,” I explain as I point to Amanda. 
“Why didn’t you say anything? Cory told you to tell him the next time,” Amanda lightly admonishes me and I shrug. 
“Because it was only a very light sick feeling. I didn’t think it was very important. Not to mention it was just while you were turned away from us. When you turned back, it was gone,” I explain and she shakes her head. 
“You still should have said something y/n. Cory made that very clear. Were there any other points you felt sick?” she asks and I look away in light shame. 
“Yeah… when the whistle sounded,” I sheepishly tell them as I continue to look away from them. 
“I do remember her telling us that one,” Kat speaks up and I smile softly at her. 
“I also may have felt sick after we heard the laughter over the recording, but when Colby came back over to me it went away so I thought nothing of it again,” I admit and Amanda sighs. 
“So you’ve been feeling sick off and on for what? The past hour?” Amanda asks and I nod meekly. 
“Yeah…” I trail off as I kick at the floor under the table. 
“Y/n. You should’ve told us. You could be in real danger here,” Amanda admonishes and I sigh, nodding. 
“I know. I just really don’t want Colby worrying. He was so excited to bring me…” I tell them with a frown and Kat puts an arm around my shoulder. 
“Hon, maybe you should tell him. I know you should definitely tell Cory…” she tells me as she rubs my back and I nod lightly. 
“Ok. When they come back I’ll tell Colby. Then we can tell Cory too,” I agree and they all sigh in relief. 
“Tell me what?” Cory asks as he walks back in. 
“That she’s been feeling sick off and on for the last hour…” Amanda tells him and he turns to me. 
“Really? Why didn’t you say anything?” he asks and I shrug again. 
“It was very subtle and just didn’t seem important,” I tell him in a nonchalant tone. 
“Well, it does matter. I have a feeling one of our male ghosts have taken a liking to you,” he explains and a chill runs through me. 
“What do you mean he likes me?” I ask, now even more on edge. 
“The guy ghost that we have, he likes to hang out in that room I was telling you guys about. He has a type and you definitely fit it. He likes to make girls of your type feel sick to the point of throwing up,” he explains and I choke on my saliva. 
“He likes to make you so sick you’d be immobile and that’s when he usually like to touch you and connect with you,” he continues to explain and I shudder. 
“What does he do if he connects with someone?” I ask and he shakes his head. 
“He’s never gotten that far, so we really don’t know. We believe he could take over your body or possibly do things to people or attach to something on them and try to go home with you, but it’s all theoretical right now,” Cory explains some more and I shake my head. 
“Then why is it when Colby’s around, I don’t feel sick?” I ask him and he smiles at that. 
“That would be because Colby of sorts is a protection for you. He’s your boyfriend, correct?” he asks and I nod. 
“Well our ghost Mr. Paxton hates boyfriends. When a girl has her boyfriend touching her or around her, he hates it. Colby wards off the feelings he puts on you because he’s like a repellent to the ghost,” Cory explains and Amanda snaps her fingers before pointing at me. 
“That’s why his aura was bright turquoise. I was right, it was a protective aura,” Amanda explains and Kat perks up. 
“So when you told us her aura was black with dark red…” Kat trails off as Amanda nods. 
“I was seeing Mr. Paxton’s aura and it’s dark. Cory, do you know this ghost's history?” Amanda asks almost in excitement and Cory purses his lips. 
“Just that he was a guest that had stayed here after getting out of prison and died here,” he explains with a shrug and I shudder. 
“Did he just say… prison?” I ask and Kat nods, keeping me close. 
“Do you know why he was in prison?” Stas asks and Cory shakes his head. 
“Sorry, no. We have never been able to find out why,” Cory tells us and I shake my head. 
“I need to sit down…” I whimper out as I start to move back. 
“Oh ok… I got ya,” Kat promises as she grabs hold of me, leading me over to a chair. 
“Is there anything we can do to keep him from making contact?” Amanda asks and Cory rubs a hand over his beard as he crosses his arms. 
“The only thing that could possibly work is to keep her next to Colby at all times. It’d be even better if they could have physical contact of some sort throughout the rest of the time,” Cory explains with a shrug and I let out a puff of air. 
“Ok. So all we have to do is tell Colby then,” Stats states and I blankly nod. 
“Tell me what? Colby asks as he and Sam walk back into the room. 
“Y/n. Baby, what’s wrong?” he asks when he notices me sitting down staring blankly in front of me. 
“What happened?” he asks as he comes over and kneels down in front of me before looking up at Kat. 
“She’s in a little shock…” Kat explains for me and he looks back at me. 
“Shock? Why would she be shocked?” he asks as he looks from me to Kat. 
“Well…” Stas speaks up, but trails off. 
“Somebody tell me what’s going on!” Colby shouts in fear and that’s what breaks me out of my shock. 
“Ok. So Cory just told us why she’s been feeling sick off and on for about an hour…” Amanda explains and Colby gives me a confused look. 
“You’ve still been feeling sick? Why didn’t you tell me?” he asks and I smile softly at him as I bring a hand up to caress his cheek, which effortlessly calms him. 
“She said she thought it was nothing because it was very light and that it went away whenever you’d be next to her,” Stas explains and he shakes his head. 
“You still should have told me,” Colby says as he gives a disappointed head shake, letting out a puff of air. 
“She didn’t wanna worry you, Colbs. She really thought it was nothing,” Kat tells him and he lifts his head to look at me. 
“I wish you would’ve told me though. We could have figured it out sooner baby,” he tells me as he squeezes my thigh and I nod at him. 
“I promise. If I feel bad at all anymore, I’ll tell you ok?” I assure him and he nods, sniffling as he holds back from crying. 
“So what is causing this? And how can we stop it?” Colby asks as he turns to look at Amanda. 
“Cory said that it’s a ghost named Mr. Paxton. Apparently he likes to mess with girls of y/n’s type. He makes them physically sick,” Amanda starts to explain and the girls all nod along. 
“He also told us that he’s not sure how far this ghost is willing to go, but that the theory they’ve had is that he could connect to her or an item on her to try and travel with her,” Kat takes over explaining from Amanda and Colby’s mouth falls open. 
“How do we stop it?” he asks as he grabs onto my hand. 
“Cory told us to keep you next to her at all times or that you have contact with her at all times. Apparently Mr. Paxton hates boyfriends being around the girls,” Stas explains and all of us other girls nod. 
“Ok. I think we can do that,” Colby nods in agreement with a light smirk on his face. 
“If this ghost hates me touching my girl, then I’m going to be all over her,” he jokes, making everyone laugh and a blush runs up my neck, making Colby chuckle. 
“What about the camera?” I ask him and he shrugs. 
“We’ll just have to be careful, baby. We can do that. When I’m filming, you can just stay behind me with your hand though my belt loop like you’ve been doing,” Colby explains and I nod, squeezing his hand that I’m still holding. 
“What about when Sam is filming?” I timidly ask and Colby smiles. 
“I can keep our hands hidden and Sam can try to keep the camera off of us as much as possible, right Sammy?” Colby asks as he turns to look at him. 
“I can definitely do that. All that matters is that you're ok, y/n,” Sam tells me and I smile, nodding in agreement. 
“Y/n, how do you feel about telling the fans what you’ve been feeling?” Sam asks and I purse my lips as I think about it. 
“I don’t really know, Sam, I kinda just wanna keep it quiet for now and finish this thing as fast as I can,” I tell him and he nods quickly at me. 
“That’s ok. I was just asking. It’s perfectly understandable,” Sam agrees with me and I smile thankfully at him. 
“What if people still catch on with us though?” I ask as I look back at Colby and he shakes his head. 
“I don’t think they will, but if they do I guess we’ll just have to come out to the public,” Colby tells me with a shrug. 
“Are you sure you wanna do that? Honey, we didn’t do that because of how your fans get,” I explain and he shrugs again. 
“If it’s what has to be done. It’s what has to be done. If the fans get crazy, I’ll talk to them,” he promises and I shake my head. 
“That doesn’t always work though, does it?” I ask him and he shakes his head. 
“If it doesn’t work we can always just keep most of our relationship private. The fans have to understand that when I find the one they can’t go bat shit crazy on her. It just makes me mad at them,” Colby explains and I slowly start to grin. 
“The one, huh?” I ask him with a smirk and he chuckles before his cheeks slowly get more and red. 
“Yeah. Uhh… the one…” Colby hesitatingly confirms what he had said and I smile. 
“Colbs. Baby, it’s ok. I think I may have found the one too,” I tell him and his smile slowly changes to a grin. 
“Well that’s good to know…” Colby tells me and I giggle lightly. 
“Ok guys. I think we’re good to go on with the video,” Colby states as he stands up and pulls me with him. 
“Good. Let’s get back to it. Y/n, Colby. You guys keep as much contact as you can get it,” Sam tells us in a jokingly demanding tone. 
“Ok. So where’s the bells and ping pong balls? I think that’s the next step, putting the bells up,” Sam asks and Amanda holds up a bag. 
“Right here,” she tells Sam as she holds the bag up. 
“Ok. Let’s get started then. I’ll film this part, Colby,” Sam tells us as he takes the camera from Colby, who nods. 
Sam gets the camera up and filming as Colby keeps my hand in his, but keeps it behind his back as I stand as close as I can without it looking too suspicious. Amanda opens the bag up and we all start to grab some bells and ping pong balls. 
“We’re going to set up a bunch of these ping pong balls and bells up against the doors and certain areas so we can capture any motion. We’ll be able to listen to see if there’s anything we’ll be able to catch as well,” Sam explains with the camera now pointing at me and Colby. 
Colby puts a bell on one of the chairs and I put one on the chair in the corner behind Colby. Once the bell is placed, I trail slowly back over to stand behind Colby. I stand close to Colby, not too close as he does a listening motion in unison with Sam, who’s still explaining. 
“Colby, can you get me tying one?” Sam asks as Colby stands up. 
“Yeah sure,” Colby agrees before taking the camera and following Sam over to a door. 
I trail behind him and as he films Sam, I keep a finger though his belt loop like he had said to. Once Sam’s done, he takes the camera back and he goes over to film Amanda putting one up as well as one of the bells swinging. Colby pulls me into a hug and holds me there for a moment before kissing my forehead. 
We each do a few more bells and ping pong balls before all coming together at a sofa that Amanda sits on. Kat sits next to her as Sam films, while me and Colby stay behind the camera cuddled up. 
“There’s tons of videos of YouTubers going into the conjuring house and investigating, seeing what they can find, but like… you guys stepped it up. Bringing someone who can see them,” Amanda tells the boys and we all nod along. 
“Ok. Do we wanna do a few more before we call it quits for the balls and bells?” Sam asks and everyone nods at him. Suddenly, Stas starts to freak out. 
“I’m literally going to cry. I actually saw that,” Stas says, her voice trembling with fear and Sam turns around. 
“What did you see?” Sam asks as he looks to where she’s looking. 
“Like… it like peeped its head around that couch,” Stas explains, still pretty terrified. 
“Where did you see that?” Sam asks her again as she slowly gets more agitated. 
“Oh… my… I thought… I thought it was like a little kid, I don’t know,” Stas stutters with a quavering voice.
“It’s not a little kid,” Amanda comments from the couch. 
“It looked like a little kid. Like it peeped,” Stas explains, making the motion with her head to show what she’s talking about. 
“Around?” Amanda adds in for Stas, who nods. 
“And then it went back,” Stas finishes off as Sam turns around to look. 
“Like right behind that little couch?” he asks as he keeps the camera trained on it. 
“Keep the light in here,” Amanda tells Sam as she goes around him and into the room. 
“What the f***?” Sam asks as Amanda walks into the room and I cuddle a little closer to Colby. 
“I keep looking… I’m telling you, I don’t like that room!” Stas exclaims while pointing at it, clearly unnerved. 
“Ok. Girls, let’s circle up. I want to put protection over you all,” Amanda tells us as she comes out of the room. 
“Yes. You too, y/n. I know you have Colby, but I want to be extra safe,” Amanda tells me and I nod before stepping away from Colby. 
I grab onto Stas’ and Katrina’s hands as Amanda grabs onto them from the other side. Together we all follow Amanda as she bows her head and it goes quiet for a few minutes.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Third Person Pov:
“Y/n!” You hear a voice shout, making you turn around and the person who was doing your makeup sighs. 
“I guess that means she's done,” the makeup person mutters as she walks off, shaking her head. 
“Trini girl!” you shout back when you see Trinity run into the room. 
She runs into your arms and you quickly wrap your arms around her. You squeeze her tightly and hold onto her for a moment before letting go. 
“Look how much you’ve grown. How have you grown so much in a year?” You ask in bewilderment as you look over the younger girl and she grins. 
“I know, right. Where’s Jack, did you guys come together?” she wonders as she looks around for him. 
“He is, he just had to run to the bathroom. He drank way too much water on the way here,” You explain to her, rolling your eyes and she laughs. 
“Well hello, you two. Haven’t seen you guys in some time,” comes another voice and you turn to see Bailey smiling. 
“Bailey!” Trinity shouts when she sees her. 
“Hi, Trinity. My, how big you’ve grown,” Bailey parrots you without knowing and you laugh along with Trinity.  
“What?” Bailey asks as she gives you both a questioning look. 
“I just said that. It’s crazy, right? I feel like she’s grown so much since we last saw her,” You tell her and she nods in agreement. 
“She definitely has. Trinity, stop growing so fast,” Bailey jokes, making Trinity laugh. 
“I would if I could,” Trinity tells her, making both older girls laugh. 
“Hello, ladies,” another voice breaks through the laughter and you all look to see Jamie walk in. 
“Am I the only guy today?” Jamie asks as he looks at all of you. 
“No. Jack’s here, too. Y/n said he just had to run to the bathroom. Apparently he drank too much water on the way here,” Trinity explains though her own giggles and Jamie’s face shows relief. 
“Sounds like something Jack would do…” Jamie comments and you giggle, nodding. 
“Right?” You playfully ask like you're shocked. 
“Would it have been so bad being around just us girls?” Bailey asks in a joking tone and Jamie shakes his head. 
“No. It just would have been a little lonely being the only boy. You guys know I love you,” Jamie tells you and you all hum at him as you each give him a side eye. 
“Sorry to interrupt, I’m Roger, I'm the one running the interview today,” A man who looks like he’s in his late twenties, maybe early thirties, introduces himself. 
“We’re just about ready to start. You all have been microphoned, right?” he asks and you all smile, nodding. 
“Ok. Then if we can all take a seat, we can get started in a few minutes,” Roger tells you and you all nod before heading over to the chairs. 
“Umm, sir, we are missing one person actually. He went to the bathroom,” You tell him as you sit down and he nods. 
“We can wait for another minute and if he is not back yet, we can send someone to find him,” Roger explains and you nod. 
“So y/n, how’s life?” Bailey asks and you smile. 
“It’s good. Really good. You?” You ask her and she smiles back. 
“I mean, it’s a little crazy right now, but I wouldn’t change it for the world,” Bailey tells you and you smile. 
“I’m glad to hear that, Bay,” You tell her and she reaches across Trinity to squeeze your hand. 
“Hey, babe,” Jack greets as he walks back into the room and kisses your cheek lightly before he takes the seat to the left of you. 
“Hi, honey,” you reply with a smile when you see him. 
“Ok. Everyone here now?” Roger asks from his seat behind the monitor. 
“Yes. We can start now if you’re ready?” You politely question and he smiles, giving a small nod. 
“Ok. Let’s start left to right, just introducing ourselves and who you play in the movie,” Roger informs you all and everyone nods. 
“Hello everyone, I’m Jamie Flatters. I play Neteyam,” Jamie introduces himself with a smile. 
“Hi. I’m Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, I play Tuk,” Trinity introduces herself next with a small wave. 
“Hello. I’m Bailey Bass and I play Tsireya,” Bailey introduces herself with a smile. 
“Hi. I’m y/n Dayton, or as some fans like to call me, I’m y/n Champion. I play Chickadee or Sietsla Te which is her official Navi name, even though she’s like Spider,” You introduce yourself with a smile and a small wave. 
“And I’m Jack Champion, I play Spider,” Jack introduces himself with a smirk that makes you shake your head at him. 
“Ok. I’m going to ask you all a series of ‘who’s most likely to’ questions. You just answer who you think would out of your cast members,” Roger explains and we all nod. 
“Do you mean like the whole cast or just the younger cast?” You question for clarity and Roger looks up at you. 
“Either one. I’d say out of the cast that’s here, but you can say anyone if you’d like,” Roger clarifies and you nod in understanding. 
“Ok, first question. Who’s most likely to have everyone laughing on set?” Roger asks and you smile. 
“Jack…” Bailey says before you can say anything and you turn to her. 
“No, cause I was going to say the same thing,” You retort at her and she grins. 
“Great minds think alike,” she comments with a small shrug and you giggle before sitting back. 
“I was gonna say Trinity,” Jack adds his thoughts as he leans forward to look at her. 
“Wait, huh?” Trinity asks as she looks at him. 
“Jack…” Bailey adds on again to make her point known as she points at him with her thumb. 
“Me?” Jack asks in confusion and you laugh, looking at him. 
“Yes, babe. You,” You tell him as you pat his arm and he just looks even more confused. 
“I laughed more at… you just… you make, like you…” Bailey struggles to explain.
“That’s actually beautiful that you're shocked at it, man. It shows that you're a very humble comedian,” Jamie jumps in as he looks at Jack. 
“Yeah, it’s good. I really go you know, it’s just, you know,” Jack tells Jamie with a playful shrug and roll of his eyes as you laugh. 
“Babe, what does that even mean?” You ask Jack and he just shrugs. 
“It’s either of you guys,” Trinity adds on, pointing at both Jack and Jamie. 
“I literally two minutes ago go ‘hey,’ to Jack,” Bailey speaks up, starting to explain what she means. 
“Oh my gosh…” Jack says as he puts his hand up to his mouth and leans away as if he’s embarrassed.  
“You see, he doesn’t even want me to say it, but like I laughed. And he goes, ‘hay is for horses,’” Bailey explains, doing a perfect impression of Jack. 
“No, stop! He uses that on me all the time!” You tell her as you smack her arm and she looks at you with a shocked look. 
“No. He does not. Does he?” she asks and you laugh harder. 
“I swear he does. I’ll just text him out of the blue one day after we haven’t been able to talk for a few days, and I kid you not I say ‘hey.’ What’s his response only a few minutes later? ‘Hay is for horses.’ I think it’s his favorite joke without realizing it,” You tell her and she rolls her eyes. 
“Jaaaaack!” Bailey cries out, carrying out the sound of his name as she laughs at him. 
“Yeah, but that- That’s so overused,” Jack tries to defend himself, but gets cut off as Bailey laughs as she notices Jaime. 
“Jamie’s like, yeah ok!” Bailey shouts as she points at Jamie. 
“I’m using that, man. I’m using it,” Jamie pointedly tells Jack while moving his hand away from his face for a moment.
“You’ve never heard that?” Jack asks and you roll your eyes. 
“I know I have,” you comment and Jack playfully rolls his eyes. 
“Of course you have, babe,” Jack replies and you giggle. 
“But really, you’ve never heard that?” he asks again as he looks past you to Jamie and Bailey. 
“No,” Bailey tells him in a straight tone. 
“You’ve never heard that one?” Jack asks again as he points at Jamie. 
“My dad says that all the time,” Trinity adds into the conversation. 
“You’ve never heard that?” Jack asks again, clearly shocked. 
“No. I’ve never heard that,” Bailey tells him as she points to herself and he turns. 
“Bull!” Jack exaggerates as he leans his head back in disbelief. “Bull!” he repeats again as he looks at her. 
“Bull,” he exclaims again in disbelief as he turns in his chair to look at the camera. 
“Ok. Ok. Next question. Most likely to be singing on set?” Roger quickly segways to the next question and you all quiet down to listen to him. 
“Trinity,” Bailey says with no hesitation. 
“Yeah. That’s right,” Jack comments before Jamie cuts him off. 
“Yeah. You do. I like that,” Jamie adds his thoughts as he looks at her and she just giggles shyly. 
“She’s a singer, yeah,” Jack adds as he too looks over at her. 
“It’s rare for you not to find y/n singing with her, though,” Jack again adds on as he points to you. 
“It’s not my fault she pulls me in!” You exclaim and Jack snickers at you as you shrug. 
“Yeah. Trinity’s a singer,” Bailey agrees as she points with her thumb at Trinity. 
“Trini girl is a great singer,” you comment and Trinity blushes. 
“Although, I will say earlier you were singing that Bon Jovi song,” Jack brings up as he points at Bailey. 
“What are you talking about…?” Bailey asks, giving Jack a confused look. 
“It’s… I’m not gonna vote for myself! If it’s something like really obvious, I’m not gonna vote for myself, but me, Trinity and y/n would sing together,” Bailey defends herself as she points at Trinity, then you. 
“And we would- yeah,” Trinity adds on as Bailey laughs and claps her hands together. 
“Ok. Ready for the next question?” Roger asks as you all sit forward again, giving a small hum of agreement. 
“Ok. Who’s most likely to fall asleep on set?” Roger asks and Jack immediately starts getting antsy in his seat. 
“Definitely y/n. It’s kinda how we got together,” he explains and everyone else laughs. 
“I’m still mad they wouldn’t let me in on the game anymore after that,” Jack comments as he crosses his arms with a pout. 
“It wasn’t fair with you dating her!” Jamie exclaims and you laugh. 
“What game?” Roger asks and Jack perks up. 
“At the beginning of filming, we’d find y/n asleep in the craziest places and so we made a challenge. Whoever could get the most videos-” Jack starts to explain the game. 
“Or pictures,” Trinity adds in excitement. 
“Yes, or pictures of her asleep then we’d all give that person twenty dollars,” Jack explains and Roger looks intrigued. 
“Why’d you get kicked off the game, then?” Roger asks and Jack chuckles as he scratches at the back of his neck. 
“Well you see, one day Jack found me in his trailer, which wasn’t rare. It was one of my favorite places to sleep because Jack and I were close as soon as we met. Plus it was a good place to just bask in the quietness of,” you take over explaining and he smiles at you. 
“It wasn’t rare to find one of them in the other’s trailer at some point in the day if they weren’t filming with each other that day,” Bailey adds on with a light giggle and shake of her head. 
“Anyway, Jack found me in his trailer. I had finished my scenes for the day and he still had like three to go, but we had decided that morning that we’d get dinner together so I decided to wait in his trailer and ended up falling asleep,” you explain more and everyone laughs. 
“She’d literally fall asleep anywhere during downtime. It was fascinating how fast she’d be out,” Jamie comments and you shrug. 
“Yes, but you guys fail to remember the movie took three years to film and I was still going to real school and taking AP classes, might I add,” You defend yourself as you hold up a finger to silence your castmates. 
“Anyway, I found her little 16, almost 17-year-old self in my trailer, sleeping on the couch. I didn’t wanna wake her, she looked so peaceful. So I went over after changing out of my clothes and started to put a blanket over her,” Jack explains as everyone starts to snicker. 
“Wait, how old were you guys when it all started?” Roger asks, motioning between you and Jack, who grins. 
“I was twelve when I started auditioning, but when I actually met her I was fourteen and she was sixteen. We didn’t really start dating till I was sixteen, making her eighteen,” Jack explains the timeline and you grin, reaching for his hand. 
“But ask anyone and they’ll tell you we were the closest on set. We were like the best of friends,” You add on and Bailey scoffs. 
“Saying best friends is an understatement, y/n. You two were probably closer than that,” she comments and you blush. 
“I mean, she’s not wrong,” Trinity adds, making you and Jack smile at each other. 
“Anyways!” Jack cuts back in with a roll of his eyes at your castmates. “I was going to take a picture after putting the blanket over her, but she surprised me by pulling me down with her. I tried getting up, but I kid you not, this girl has an iron grip so I gave up and fell asleep with her,” Jack explains with a shrug and Bailey laughs. 
“That’s where I come in. I found them that way and took a picture. That was the first of many times we started finding him and her asleep cuddling somewhere,” Bailey explains through her laughter. 
“It wasn’t until about maybe a third of the way through filming we found out they’d started dating, so we told Jack he was out of the game because he’d have it too easy to get the pictures,” Jamie adds on and the rest of you all laugh. 
“I think they shoulda let me keep playing, really,” Jack says with a frown and Trinity laughs. 
“But you already have a whole bunch and we’re not even playing anymore! You have a whole album dedicated to her sleeping,” Trinity comments and you smirk at him. 
“She’s got you there,” You tell him with a giggle. 
“Yeah. Yeah. It’s not my fault my girlfriend sleeping is cute,” he deflects and you all laugh more at him. 
“It’s actually so well documented that there’s a behind the scenes video of it. James thought it was so funny, he decided to put it in the behind the scenes,” Trinity adds on and everyone agrees, nodding.  
“So if you get it on DvD you can see just how much fun we all had,” Bailey adds and Roger smiles. 
“Ok. Next question,” Roger tells you before pausing to look down at his note card. 
“Most likely to mess up a stunt,” Roger reads out and you all take a moment to think about it. 
“Jack…” Bailey speaks up first again as she holds back a laugh and he slowly grins. 
“Really?!” Trinity asks as Jamie starts saying “Whoa… whoa.” 
“So call him out, why don’t you,” Jamie comments with a playful roll of his eyes. 
“But not like messing up! Messing up sounds… bad, like, I don’t think messing up a stunt is necessarily a bad thing. Like I have literally… I…” she starts to explain her reasoning, but Trinity cuts her off. 
“And you have like really hard stunts, too,” Trinity comments as she looks at Bailey. 
“Yeah. Thank— who, me?” Bailey asks as she points to herself while looking at Trinity. 
“Oh, Jack,” Trinity clarifies as she points at him and he hums at her. 
“Y/n had some pretty hard ones too,” Jack comments as he looks at you. 
“That I did,” you agree as you nod. 
“Well who injured themselves the worst during that process?” Jamie asks as he leans back in his chair to look at Jack.
“Filming?” Bailey asks for clarification. 
“I mean I probably got the most scraps and bruises, but like, I film longer, so,” Jack explains, using his hands as he talks.
“That is true!” Jamie agrees as he looks away from Jack now. 
“Exactly, you did harder stunts. It’s fair, but listen I’ve got a face full of like those white balls—” Bailey talks with Jack about it and you snort when Jamie grimaces. 
“What?” Bailey asks, pausing as she looks at you and turning beet red from holding in a laugh. 
“Jamie totally got where my brain went…” you comment, laughing and Jack’s eyes widen. 
“Babe! You had them, too!” he shouts when he understands and you fight to hold back another laugh. 
“No. I didn’t mean that!” he shouts and now you bust out laughing alongside Jamie. 
“Ok… anyway I had them on my face because of a stunt, so… stunts go wrong,” Bailey goes right back to what she was saying.
“They really do go wrong. I think I may beat Jack in who got hurt worse, remember?” You question and Jack's eyes widen as he looks at you. 
“Oh my gosh, I completely forgot about that. Please don’t make me relive it,” he groans, covering his face. 
“What stunt? I don’t remember a stunt going wrong?” Bailey asks and you nod. 
“You wouldn’t. It was just Spider, Neteyam, Tuk, Lo’ak, Kiri, and Chickadee,” You inform her with a shake of your head. 
“Jack absolutely freaked out,” You tell her and she gives an ‘ahhh’. 
“Wait, are we talking about the one where you and Spider go flying?” Trinity asks and you nod. 
“Yeah. Without giving too much away, I was originally supposed to land safely on the pad next to Jack, but got caught on something and just landed wrong,” you explain and Bailey sits up in her seat. 
“Was that why you sat out for four weeks in Jack's trailer that one time?” she asks and you nod. 
“Yeah. I wasn’t allowed to do much with a freshly broken arm. So I just stayed in. Plus my pain meds were in his trailer. I was just going to stay in the rental house, but someone didn’t want that,” you explain with a playful eye roll. 
“I wanted to make sure my best friend -at the time- who had a habit of not taking her meds when she’s supposed to, did. Is that so bad?” he asks and you giggle, shaking your head. 
“No, I suppose not. You were just making sure I was ok,” you agree softly with him and he smirks. 
“Well I guess I did that job like a champion,” he slyly comments, making both you and Bailey groan. 
“Jack, honey. That was so cringe, my love,” you tell him while laughing with Bailey, who lets out a ‘see!’ while pointing to him. 
“Well, you like my cringe, so…” Jack trails off while crossing his arms playfully and you laugh some more. 
“I mean, you’re not wrong,” you agree with him and he smiles at the camera, bouncing his eyebrows. 
“See guys, she loves me,” he comments with a smirk and you shake your head. 
“That I do,” you tell him before leaning over just ever so slightly to kiss his cheek. 
“Awe thanks, babe!” he shouts out in a happy, high-pitched tone, making you and Bailey laugh even harder. 
“Goodness, your mom’s right, sweetheart. You are a dork,” you tell him and he only smirks again. 
“Yeah, but I’m your dork,” he cheekily states, making you and Bailey burst out laughing. 
“Jaaaack, you did not. You cheese ball!” Bailey yells out, only making you laugh harder. 
“Anyway, stunts go wrong!” she finally finishes her point and everyone agrees.
“Alright, onto the next question, then?” Roger asks when all of you calm down and you nod at him.
“Most likely to be swearing too much on set?” Roger asks as he reads off the card.
“Jack…” Bailey comments first again, laughing and you start laughing with her. 
“What?!” Trinity shouts as she looks at Bailey. 
“No. Definitely not me,” Jack denies as he points at himself. 
“Wait, NO! This has to be the adult cast,” Bailey amends what she said as she looks at Roger. 
“This is so easily…!” Jack shouts, trailing off as he leans back and rubs his leg.  
“This is Slang…” Bailey adds as she looks at Jack and pauses. 
“Sam!” Trinity yells out in shock as she looks at Bailey in disbelief. 
“I was gonna say Sam!” Jack agrees with Trinity as he sits up in his seat. 
“You had more scenes with Sam then I did,” Bailey adds and Jack nods. 
“Good point, good point,” Jack agrees with a shrug. 
“Because going around with the swear jar, you and me. Sam was our primary contributor,” Trinity explains as she points between herself and Jack as you just sink back in your chair while Jamie looks at you. 
“I mean, he’s Australian, ya know. Like, but yeah,” Jack adds while shrugging before relaxing his hands on his legs again and Bailey laughs. 
“There’s going to be Australians who are like, I do not cuss,” Bailey casually jokes as she lays her arms on the armrests of her chair. 
“Sam would try really hard in front of us. He put in a good effort. I remember one time he came up to me and he’s just like, ‘I’m sorry, Trinity. Colorful language comes naturally to Australians’,” Trinity explains as she does a perfect impression of Sam, making everyone laugh. 
Jack leans forward as he laughs and rubs his eyes before sitting back in his chair with a grin on his face. Jamie continues to eye you and you shake your head at him. 
“That’s funny,” Bailey comments before it all settles down again. 
“Ok. But who out of the kids?” Roger asks and Jamie smirks as you roll your eyes at him. 
“What? What are you thinking over there?” Bailey asks Jamie and he only smirks more. 
“Oh, nothing…” he comments with a light chuckle when he sees you avoiding him. 
“No, what?” Bailey asks again and he chuckles. 
“I was just thinking out of all us kids, the one who swore most was Y/n,” he commends and Jack’s eyes widen. 
“Nooooo! That’s so true!” Jack adds before letting out a small ‘oww’ as you smack his arm. 
“It is not,” you add as he rubs the spot and chuckles. 
“Oh, it so is. What about that time in my trailer huh?” he asks and you blush, making him chuckle again. 
“She was doing homework and she got very frustrated. She shoved her books off the table and yelled the f-word,” Jack explains and Trinity’s eyes widen. 
“I remember that!” Trinity adds as she points at Jack, who nods. 
“Ok. So I’d get a little frustrated sometimes, so what?” You shrug and try to play it cool, making them all laugh. 
“Ok. Ok. Can we move on from making fun of me please! School was very hard for me, ok?!” You shout, feeling embarrassed as you hide your face and everyone laughs. 
“Ok. Moving on. Most likely to forget their lines?” Roger reads off the cards in his hands. 
“Ohhh…” Jamie says as it goes quiet for a moment. 
“This is not a nice one,” Bailey comments as she plays with her fingers. 
“I feel like we’ve all… we’ve… done a pretty good job,” Trinity speaks up and trails off a bit. 
“Yeah,” Bailey agrees as Trinity turns to Jamie. 
“Have we?” she asks as she continues to look at Jamie. 
“I think everyone is pretty genuinely good at their lines,” Jack comments as he touches his chin in compilation. 
“I can’t remember what times when we…” Trinity comments before Jack cuts her off. 
“I can’t think of anyone that consistently…” Jack starts, but this time Bailey cuts him off. 
“Also you and y/n have some fun improv as well,” Bailey comments as she uses her thumb to point to you and Jack, who scratches at his ear as he turns to talk to her. 
“Yeah,” both you and Jack agree at the same time. 
“You guys are so good,” Trinity adds and you smile over at her. 
“You guys just go off and either one of them will be doing a scene where they’re walking out and one of them will just start cursing,” Bailey starts to explain and Jack laughs but you stop her for a moment. 
“No. No. Those ones were all Jack, all I did was act along with what he was doing,” you comment and Bailey rolls her eyes. 
“Yeah, but like you did so good at just falling into whatever he’d do. It was so fun to watch,” Bailey expresses with a small eye roll. 
“Yeah…” Jack agrees with her as Trinity laughs. 
“The one where I was roasting you,” Jack comments as he sits up and points at Jamie. 
“Yeah and y/n just joins right on in…” Jamie comments with a roll of his eyes like he’s annoyed and you giggle. 
“Jack started it! I just went along for the ride!” You defend yourself and you all laugh. 
“I’m not gonna say the specific scene, but there’s a scene where I-” Jack starts to try explaining, but Jamie cuts him off. 
“That wasn’t even a scene. That was just in the trailer, man,” Jamie comments and everyone starts laughing. 
Jack bends over and puts his head on top of his crossed arms as you lean your head back. You both simultaneously sit straight again, but still have grins on your faces. 
“It’s everyday life,” Trinity comments with a nod of her head. 
“Look at your… look at your big feet,” Jamie imitates with a comical tone as he playfully rolls his eyes. 
“Everyday… the one scene aside from the lunch breaks,” Jack explains as Jamie goes on with the funny imitation, ‘look at your big blue head.’”
“Yeah. The lunch breaks, yeah. Yeah,” Jaime agrees before Jack sits back in his chair. 
“And y/n would always join in,” Trinity adds and you roll your eyes. 
“What can I say, it was fun,” you playfully admit with a shrug and everyone laughs. 
“We do get to do a lot of improv which is really fun. We created our own- the reef kids created— which is me, Duane and Filip— we created our own, like, rock paper scissors,” Bailey starts to explain, using her hand to motion out a half attempted rock move. 
“It’s like crocodile, akula, something else, like it’s really weird,” she explains with a shake of her head. 
“I have my own thing for that,” Jack comments as he points to himself. “I know how to win every rock paper scissors.”
“He does and he does it every single time!” You exclaim and Bailey laughs. 
“What? You make eye contact?” Bailey asks him and you perk up. 
“No. Do one right this second,” Jack tells her as he lifts his hands into position and so does she, making you watch your boyfriend intently with a smirk. 
“Rock, paper-” they both start to chant, but get thrown off. 
“Ok, rock, paper, scissors,” they both chant as they both do the hand motions. 
“Black hole!” Jack shouts, lifting his hands and making a circle and Bailey makes a funny sound in her shock. 
“I win,” Jack adds on as he grins proudly. 
“But the thing is, just in the airport the other day I beat you like four rounds in rock paper scissors,” Trinity comments with a grin and you gasp. 
“No, he didn’t. He told me he won!” You tell her and her eyes widen. 
“Jack. You lied to y/n?! How could you?!” she playfully jokes as he sits up. 
“We don’t have to talk about that!” Jack shouts as he puts his hand on his cheek. 
“Until I did the black hole and I won, so clearly black hole sucks everything, transports it to another dimension and I win. So no, I didn’t lie,” Jack shouts as he uses his hands to get his point across. 
“You know you become spaghetti if you go into a black hole?” Bailey calmly asks Jack and you giggle, already knowing what Jack’ll say. 
“Spaghettify,” Jack adds as he points at her, making you laugh harder when he says exactly what you knew he’d say. 
“O…k… whatever…” Bailey comments, unimpressed as she turns away from him. 
“Next question,” Bailey adds, trying to move on. 
“I love you, Neil Degrasse Tyson!” Jack shouts as he points to the camera and you start to laugh again. 
“He may even love him more than me. He made me watch that Cosmos one that came out in 2014 like once a month,” you comment though your laughter and Jack rolls his eyes. 
“I do not…” Jack plays coy, making you laugh harder. 
“Babe. I love you, but you totally do. At this point I can quote the 2014 and the 2020 one by heart,” you joke and he shrugs.
“But it’s so interesting, isn’t it?” he asks you and you stop laughing to look at him. 
“I mean, yeah actually, you got me there. It really is,” you agree with a shrug and Bailey rolls her eyes at the two of you. 
“Ok. Really, next question,” Bailey jokes as she motions for Roger to move on and he chuckles. 
“Ok. Who’s most likely to give the best life advice?” Roger reads off his cards again and you smile. 
“Kate Winslet,” Bailey says again without hesitation and you nod. 
“I totally agree. When I was stressed and struggling, she came over to me and was all like, ‘Look honey, you’re gonna struggle through life, it's just a part of it. What matters is how you fight back.’ I don’t know, it stuck with me,” you explain with a shrug after imitating her and sitting back in your chair. 
“I want to say Slang,” Jack comments and you grin at him as Bailey gasps. 
“Oh my God, I love Slang. He does,” Bailey whines out as she holds her hands to her chest. 
“He gives us- also ok, so Kate came for two weeks to film and then she came back to do reshoots and in that little time she impacted all of us so much,” Bailey explains with her hands.
“I think she impacted y/n most, though,” Jack comments as he points at you and you nod. 
“She really did! Like when I see her I just see stars around her. She’s so awesome. I have loved her since first seeing Titanic when I was younger, so meeting her was like a dream come true really,” you explain while grinning and Jack smiles at you. 
“She’s such a hopeless romantic. Titanic is her favorite romance movie,” Jack explains and you nod. 
“Well, how isn’t it yours?! Jack literally died to save her. That’s romantic right there!” You defend your reasons and Jack smirks. 
“It’s definitely not because his name is Jack, right?” he jokingly prods at your side and you blush. 
“I mean, it’s definitely a plus that I can imagine that it’s my Jack just because of the name,” you coyly state as you bounce your eyebrows at the camera and Jack groans, rubbing his face. 
“She literally pushes all her hopeless romantic energy on to me,” he jokes and you grin at him. 
“And you love it,” you state with a mischievous grin and he shrugs. 
“Can’t say I don’t,” he adds and you giggle softly at his little shrug. 
“Anyway, back to what I was saying,” Bailey cuts in again with a playful eye roll and you laugh, reaching for her hand to give it a squeeze as an apology for interrupting her monologue of thoughts. 
“But then Slang who was with us for the year and a half just- he’s just, like, the sweetest,” Bailey finishes off as she puts her hands together. 
“He’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, unless he’s in character,” Trinity adds on with a grin. 
“That’s true!” Bailey calls out, pointing at Trinity as you and her start to laugh. 
“Oh, yeah, that is so true,” Jack agrees as he sits forward in his chair and points at them.
“Cause like when Slang goes into that character, it’s just…” Jack tries to explain.
“Hardcore?” Trinity adds in for him. 
“Just rage and all that… stuff. But Kate, I was gonna say I only met Kate like a couple times, but the couple times I did, like she’s one of the most genuine people that you’ll meet,” Jack explains.
“You say that ‘cause she’s the only one that was able to calm y/n’s panic that one day,” Bailey comments and Jack's eyes widen. 
“No, I mean, it was definitely a sweet moment to watch her calm her when it was a rare moment that I couldn’t, but genuinely Kate was just all around nice and sweet,” Jack defends himself and you giggle. 
“Babe, I think Bailey’s just joking with you about it,” you tell him and he sighs. 
“Of course she is,” he comments with a roll of his eyes. 
“Ok. Ready for the next question?” Roger asks and you all nod. “Ok. Most likely to be the mother of the group?” 
“Trinity,” Jamie comments, pointing at her. 
“Yeah. Well, I have… yeah… that’s hard,” Bailey comments while agreeing with Jamie. 
“Well, yeah, Bailey— ok I will say Trinity is very like… like ya know, she cares a lot, but Bailey is also the type of person that will be like ‘Oh! You have something on your face!’”, Jack explains as he motions someone licking their thumb and cleaning the other person's face. 
“You know what I mean?” he asks as he sits back nonchalantly and Bailey starts to laugh. 
“No, like, cause the other day she’s like, ‘your mascara’s smudged’, and like—,” Trinity adds as she shows the motion of someone fixing it. 
“I literally have like a trapped survivor kit in my bag, so like I have bandaids, I have like multiple types of lip balm—” Bailey starts to try explaining and Jack laughs. 
“You do? So does y/n. Literally carries it everywhere with us. One time I cut myself and she just pulls a bandaid out of her pocket all like, ‘oh, here babe’,” Jack jokes and you roll your eyes. 
“It never hurts to be prepared,” you comment with a shrug. 
“I literally have gas x— which comes in handy more times than you think. I have mints, like all the things,” Bailey finishes.
“Yeah…” both Trinity and Jack add on. 
“But then yes, when it comes to press especially, I’m on it. We did like three reels today,” she adds on and Trinity laughs. 
“Yeah! She’s- she’s- she- We were having a social media internship right now from Bailey,” Trinity jokes and Bailey starts to laugh. 
“We, yeah…but no. I was gonna say y/n is the mother hen of the group, she’s like me and Bailey combined,” Trinity explains and Jack snaps, pointing at her. 
“It’s so true. She’s always prepared for any situation with snacks or even just like water and when she does check in on you it’s like super caring and sweet,” Jack comments and you laugh. 
“Jack, honey. You have to say that, you're my boyfriend,” you tell him, patting his arm. 
“No, but it’s so true though, you're like the perfect mix of caring and understanding, yet totally obsessive that everyone around you is doing ok,” he tells you and you just shake your head. 
“It’s actually so true, y/n,” Bailey tells you as she nods, grinning. 
“Ok, ok. I’m the mother hen of the group, I guess,” you agree with a shrug. 
“Ok, well, that’s all the questions we have for you all today,” Roger tells you guys as he stands from his chair and you all smile, nodding. 
Together we all get our mics taken off before separating to head to our cars and head to the next interview of the day. 
The End…

Peter’s Pov: 
“Well, are you ready to get up, y/n/n?” I ask her, but she doesn’t reply. 
Confused, I pull her off of my shoulder to see her eyes are closed with no sign of movement at all. I quickly lay her in my lap before trying to figure out what’s wrong. Just as I pull my hand off her waist, I notice blood on my hand and I feel sick. 
“Lucy!” I yell out to my little sister and she turns around with confusion clearly written on her face. 
“What is it, Peter?” she shouts back with her hands on her hips. 
“Quick! Y/n’s hurt too!” I shout and her face falls before rushing over to us. 
“What happened?” she questions as she bends down to y/n. 
“I don’t know. One minute she was just leaning against me and the next she wasn’t replying,” I panickedly explain, staring at the blood on my hand as Lucy pours a few drops into y/n’s mouth. 
“There. That should help,” Lucy promises with a nod before she stands back up and Aslan strides over to stand next to her. 
“As it should. It is not yet her time,�� Aslan says, nodding his head in agreement with Lucy’s statement.
“Let me know when she wakes up. I want a hug from her too,” Lucy informs with a grin before rushes back over to the others. 
Aslan looks at me with sympathy in his eyes before giving a light nod and bow of his head. He smiles softly at me, giving me a calming feeling before strolling over to the rest. 
I hold y/n close as I wait maybe two or three more minutes before she gasps and her eyes slowly blink open. Letting out a sigh of relief, I pull her up into a seated position before pulling her onto my lap so I can hold her as close to me as I physically can. 
“Oh, thank Aslan. I was scared there for a minute,” I tell her as I hold her head softly to my shoulder before giving the side of her forehead a kiss. 
“I’m sorry I scared you. I didn’t mean to,” she whispers quietly against my shoulder. 
“Next time you're hurt, please just tell me,” I practically beg her, my voice cracking ever so slightly and she nods. 
“Deal. I’m sorry, I was just so focused on Edmund,” she explains to me and I grin as I pull back to look at her. 
“I believe I owe my Queen a kiss,” I coyly state with a smirk as I wiggle my eyebrows and she giggles, shaking her head. 
“I believe you do…” she agrees with me, nodding her head and I grin.

It feels like time slows down as we both lean towards one another. I tilt my head ever so slightly and before I know it, our lips are connecting in a sweet, passionate kiss. Her kiss feels like coming home, all soft and pillowy like sweet silk against mine. 
I can feel her playing with my hair as our noses brush ever so slightly and a warm feeling spreads through me. It’s at that moment that I decide that she will be the only person I ever kiss again and that hers is my favorite by far. The kiss continues for what seems like forever, but I smile against her lips as it feels like it’s only me and her in this field. 
All too soon, though, I find myself slightly frowning as she pulls away for air and I find myself chasing her lips, wanting them back on my own. She lets out a light giggle, the air of her breath fanning my face before she leaves one last kiss on my lips. I quickly pull her a little closer, not wanting this to end, and rub my nose against hers, making her giggle. She puts her forehead to mine and smiles down at me as I smile up at her. 
“I’ve wanted to do that for… a really long time…” I breathily explain and she smiles even bigger (if that’s even possible) as she continues to play with the hair on the nip of my neck. 
“You’re not the only one…” she tells me with a small smirk and I chuckle. 
“Ok. No more dilly-dallying, you two. Come on, we’ve got lots more work to do,” Susan speaks up from behind me, making me turn to look at her and she’s smiling with her hands on her hips. 
“Well? Are you ready to get up?” I ask y/n with a raised eyebrow and she nods. 
“Good. Here, I’ll help you,” I comment as I start to stand up, pulling her with me lightly. 
~Time Skip~
We all helped the casualties for about an hour, and by the time we’re done, everyone seems dead on their feet. Once all our casualties are up and moving around with the exception of quite a few that we couldn’t help, we all decide to eat. After a satisfying meal, the sun is almost setting and Aslan stands up on the same hill we talked on before the war. 
When I finish eating, I look at my siblings and y/n, who are all laughing at something Edmund had said. I smile softly before getting up from my spot and walking over to Aslan. 
“So what do we do now?” I ask him and he chuckles as he watches over the camp. 
“Now you and your family will be crowned kings and queens. Come morning, we’ll all head east and when we get to Cair Paravel, you will have your coronation,” Aslan explains and I shake my head in disbelief. 
“I still can’t believe this has all happened. It happened so quickly that it feels as if it’s all been a dream,” I tell him and he smiles, amused. 
“I’m sure the others feel the same way,” he tells me as he turns to look at them laughing. 
“Oh, they very likely do. I just feel so…” I pause, trying to think of the word. 
“Mighty…” Aslan fills in for me as if reading my thoughts. I nod before sitting down on the grassy hill to look out over the camp one last time. 
“As you should. Peter, you did what some could never imagine doing,” Aslan starts as he puts a paw on my shoulder. 
“You led an army to victory. That’s one of the most noble, mightiest things that can be done, my boy. Enjoy the peace and happiness that comes after it,” Aslan tells me as he sits beside me and I nod in agreement as I turn to look at my family once again. 
“Thank you for this opportunity,” I tell him as I turn back to look out over the camp and he nods at me. 
“You needed it to learn from. Now, go be with your family. Enjoy the love and joy that is present,” he almost demands and I chuckle, smiling as I get up off the ground to stand. 
“I will. Again, thank you Aslan, thank you so much,” I say and he shakes his head before using his paw to wave me off, making me chuckle. 
I walk back down the hill and over to my family. Lucy comes running up to me and I catch her, picking her up before spinning around. Together we laugh before I set her back down and she grins up at me before turning back around to look at y/n as she too walks up to us. 
“Y/n, can you believe it? We did it! We saved Mr. Tumnus, just like you said we would along with the whole land of Narnia,” Lucy excitedly exclaims as y/n stops next to us with a big smile on her face. 
“That we did, Lu,” y/n agrees with a big smile as she hugs my little sister. 
“I’m just so happy,” Lucy tells us as she pulls back from their hug. 
“I’m glad you're happy, Luc. It’s getting dark though, maybe you should head to bed. Aslan told me we have a long journey in the morning,” I speak up and she playfully pouts. 
“I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep,” Lucy groans playfully, rolling her eyes and y/n giggles. 
“You don’t wanna be knackered tomorrow, do you?” Y/n asks and Lucy puts her hands on her hips. 
“Well, no, but sleep feels so far away right now,” Lucy argues and y/n smiles softly. 
“Well why don’t you just try, ladybug? You might surprise yourself. Maybe you're actually more knackered than you feel,” y/n explains and Lucy takes a moment as if she’s thinking about it. 
“Oh… all right. I assume you’ll be staying with Pete again?” Lucy asks with a raised eyebrow and y/n lets out a loud laugh. 
“Yes. Little firefly, you’d be right,” y/n tells her as she reaches out and pulls her into a hug. 
“Oh, all right. Goodnight then, sleep very well,” Lucy tells her as she pulls away and y/n giggles before reaching forward to mess up Lucy’s hair. 
“You too, ladybug. Don’t let the bedbugs bite you, you hear me?” Y/n jokes softly and Lucy giggles too.  
“I promise,” Lucy nods in affirmation, joking right back. 
“That’s what I like to hear. Rest easy, sweet girl,” y/n tells Lucy as she smiles at her. 
Lucy smiles at y/n one last time before looking up at me. She comes over to me with a playful smile and I let out an “oooff,” as she slams into my stomach, almost knocking me over.
I wrap my arms around her and lift her up. She giggles as she hugs onto me a little tighter. 
“Goodnight, Petey. I love you,” she whispers into my ear and I hug her a little closer to me. 
“Goodnight Luc, I love you too. So much,” I tell my little sister softly and smile as I set her back on the ground. 
“Oh, Susan! You ready for bed?!” Lucy shouts as she turns and runs back over to Susan and Edmund. 
“I suppose I am. Come on, then,” Susan agrees as she gets up from where she’d been sitting. 
“Goodnight, you two. Sleep well,” she shouts over to us and y/n grins. 
“Goodnight, Susan! You too,” y/n tells her before she’s turning, tucking into my side as Susan and Lucy walk off to their tent. 
“You comin’, Ed?” I ask as I look at my younger brother and he nods before getting up. 
We wait for him for a moment before he’s jogging over to us. Once he comes up next to us, we start walking to our tent. Edmund runs ahead of us and disappears into the tent and y/n giggles. 
“I’m glad it all worked out, Pete. We’re all happier than we have been in a long while,” y/n speaks softly as she cuddles into my side as we walk. 
“I am, too. It feels good to all be on the same page with no fights. It’s been a while since we’ve all been happy to just be together,” I agree with her and she stops us from walking. 
“I love you, you know that?” she says as she looks up at me and runs her arms up my chest till they’re around my neck. 
“I do now. I love you, too,” I tell her with a grin as I grab her hips and she smiles softly again. 
I smile back at her before leaning towards her and she reaches up on her toes to lean up to me. I let out a breathy laugh as she gives me a confused look as I put my forehead to hers. 
“Pete! You wanker! You just totally ruined the mood,” she playfully scolds and I laugh again. 
“I’m sorry, love! But you don’t have to reach up to me!” I tell her as I try to hold back my laughter. 
“Pete, I kinda do. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m a little shorter than you,” she rolls her eyes and I chuckle again. 
“Well it’s a good thing that I can bend to you. You don’t have to reach up,” I tell her and she slowly grins, shaking her head. 
“And you ruined the moment for that?! You ninny!!” she giggles as she playfully slaps my chest and I chuckle. 
“I’m sorry, love! I couldn’t help it!” I defend myself and she only laughs a little harder. 
“Ok. Ok. Can you kiss me now and not ruin the moment?” she asks as she suddenly sobers up from laughing and grows serious. 
“Oh, of course. I’m so sorry, my Queen,” I playfully tell her with a smirk and she shakes her head at me again. 
Slowly, I lean towards her and soon our lips are touching for the second time today. This one is much different from the first. The first one was a little rushed, but this one is slower, almost like we’re both trying to savor it, and I suppose maybe I am. 
Her lips are still soft and pillowy against mine, making me deepen the kiss ever so slightly. I can feel her smiling as she brings her hands up to my head, but instead of brushing through my hair with her fingers, she grips onto it. The warm feeling from earlier comes back as our noses brush together again. 
“Oi, would you two stop snogging and come to bed already?!” Edmund asks us from the flap of the tent, making us reluctantly pull away from one another, but I keep my forehead to hers. 
“Yeah. Yeah. We’ll be there in a bit,” I reply with a roll of my eyes before looking back at y/n. 
“Better be,” he jokingly pretends to be all authoritative with his arms crossed over his chest. 
He shakes his head in a jokeful disappointment and gives a small ‘tsk, tsk,’ before walking back into the tent. It’s quiet for a moment and I take the opportunity to press my lips back to hers. She pulls away and giggles when my lips chase hers, much like they did earlier. 
“Pete, as much as I am loving this little kiss session, Ed’s right. We should get to bed,” she breathlessly tells me and I can feel it fan over my face. 
I sigh and press my forehead to hers again with a light frown. She smiles at me and my heart flips as I smile back. 
“I could kiss you all day, ya know?” I tell her as I pull back and push a strand of hair behind her ear. 
“And I could kiss you all day too. Although now you can kiss me whenever you want and I promise I’ll always kiss back. But again, Ed’s right, we need to go to sleep,” she tells me as I put my forehead to hers again. She smiles softly as she plays with my hair, making me sigh. 
“Ok. Let’s go…” I hesitantly agree and she laughs. 
“Come on. I’m not leaving your side. I’ll be by you all night,” she tells me as she pulls away and starts to pull me along with her as she walks to the tent. 
She leads me over to the tent and she pulls up the flap before ducking under it. I follow her and once inside, she lets go of my hand for a moment. She walks over to the chest by the privacy screen, smiling softly at Edmund on her way and opens it. 
She pulls out some clothes and goes behind the privacy screen to change. I smile softly and shake my head in disbelief as I start to take off the rest of my armor. 
“It's nice to see you guys finally together,” Edmund speaks up and I turn around to look at him. 
“You think so?” I ask him with an arched eyebrow and he nods. 
“Don’t be such a muppet, Pete. I’ve always known you two were made for each other, even when you yourselves didn’t know. I think everyone with eyes bloody knew, actually,” he tells me with a playful roll of his eyes and I smile softly at him. 
“Thanks. That means a lot, Ed,” I tell him and he nods before turning over. 
“Now enough with the sap. I’m knackered. Sleep well, you two,” he tells us just as y/n walks out from behind the privacy screen with a soft smile. 
“Goodnight, Ed. You sleep well, too,” she tells him as she pulls back the covers of the bed. 
“Well, are you changing or just sleeping in that?” she asks me as she motions to the under clothes from under my armor. 
“I’m too knackered to change. Think I’ll just sleep in this,” I tell her as I crawl into the bed behind her and she smiles, nodding as she cuddles into me. 
“I told you he was a good boy,” she whispers tiredly and I smile softly at her. 
“That you did love. That you did,” I tell her and she just gives a quiet giggle in response. 
“I love you, Pete,” she mutters and I smile again before leaving a soft kiss on her forehead. 
“I love you too, sweetheart,” I parrot her softly right in her ear as I pull her even closer and hold her to me. 
“That tickles, you git,” she tells me though light giggles and I smile a tired smile. 
“Well, get used to it,” I tell her with a tired, but very cheeky smile and she scoffs. 
“Go to sleep you wanker,” she says and I chuckle lightly. 
Slowly, sleep starts to over take me as warmth radiates between us and I fall into a peaceful sleep as I hold her to me. The dream I have is a good one this time, with no signs of the old bad dream I used to have about losing her, but all of a sudden the dream is coming to an end as I am woken up. I blink my eyes open before rubbing at them with my right hand and then letting my eyes adjust to being open again. 
They sting for a moment, so I blink them before looking around in confusion. It’s only then do I realize it’s still dark out and confusion only takes over more. I look over at Ed, but he’s gone from his bed and worry takes over. 
I’m pulled out of my thoughts when there’s a small whimper to my left and I immediately figure out what woke me as y/n’s face contorts. I turn in alarm as I hear the tent flap move, but relax when I see it’s only Edmund. 
“Edmund, you git, where were you?” I ask him in a hushed whisper and he smiles shyly at me. 
“I heard y/n whimpering and knew it’d wake you. I knew you’d take care of her, but I want to help in some way… so I went and got her some water,” he tells me as he holds up a cup and I smile softly at him, my anger melting away. 
“Thank you, Ed. I’m sure she’ll appreciate it,” I tell him and he smiles shyly at me as he shrugs. 
“Peter! No!” Y/n screams out and I quickly turn back to her. 
“Shhh. It’s ok, darling. I’m right here. It’s just a bad dream,” I whisper out as I put my hand on her cheek and rub it softly. 
She starts to cry and I wipe the tears as her eyes slowly open. She looks up at me and I smile down at her as she blinks at me. 
“Peter…? What…? But you were just…” she asks in confusion and I shake my head. 
“I’m ok. I’m right here. It was just a bad, bad dream,” I tell her softly and she hiccups before nodding in realization. 
“It’s always so real…” she whispers out before she starts to sob. 
“Oh, honey. Shh. It’s ok. I’ve got you,” I coo as I pull her head to my shoulder and hold it there. 
“I just want this dream to go away, Pete. I never want it to come to pass. It’s just so scary,” she mutters into my neck and I nod. 
“I know, love. I know how you feel. We can’t know what’ll happen. Until then, let’s just live life together, yeah?” I ask her as I pull her back so I can look at her. 
“Ok… yeah. I think I can do that,” she nods and I smile softly at her. 
“Do you want some water? Edmund has some for you,” I tell her and she looks up at him over my shoulder. 
“Oh gosh. Edmund, I’m so sorry if I woke you,” she immediately apologizes to him and he shakes his head as he puts his hand up in surrender. 
“Don’t be as daft as a bush, y/n. It’s ok. Really. I uhh… understand you now,” Edmund tells her and she smiles sympathetically at him as he takes a step forward to hand her the cup. 
She takes it from him with a soft, thankful smile and he smiles nonchalantly back with a light shrug. I watch her as she takes a drink of it before pulling the cup away from her lips to look at me. 
“He’s really turned around,” she whispers to me as he lays down with his back turned to us. 
“I suppose he has, hasn’t he? Makes me proud,” I tell her and she smiles nodding. 
“I know he fights you a lot, can be a bit of a ninny sometimes, but he really does just need your love and support,” she tells me before going back to drink a little more and I purse my lips. 
“Yeah. I see it now. I’m sorry I haven’t. You’ve been trying to tell me and I wasn’t listening when I should have. I’ve been a real tosser, haven’t I?” I apologize with a small frown and she leans over to put the cup on the small table to her left. 
“Oh, the biggest…” she jokes with a playful roll of her eyes before becoming serious again. 
“No, you really haven’t. It’s ok, Pete. It’s what pride does. I’m just glad you're listening now. He needs his big brother. Where you had your father, he doesn’t,” she tells me softly as she reaches up to my cheek and strokes it softly. 
“I know. I just want him to be better than me. I know he can be, so I push hard especially when I don’t need to,” I try to explain as I burrow my cheek a little into her hand, making her smile a knowing smile. 
“And he will be. He’s just like you, a little too headstrong for his own good, but it’s a really good quality, Pete. He’ll figure it out, just give him the guidance he needs,” she encourages me and I close my eyes as I let out a light chuckle. 
“Aslan was right. You are my voice of reason and you always have been,” I observe as I put my forehead to hers again. 
“And I always will be, Pete, as you are mine,” she says softly and I can’t help but smile, shaking my head. 
“Ok. Think you're ready to sleep again now?” I ask her before leaving a light peck on her lips and she nods slowly as sleep starts to take over again. 
“G’night, Pete. I love you,” she mumbles and I smile as I lay us back down with her cuddling into my side more so than before. 
“Goodnight, my queen. I love you too,” I whisper out as I leave a kiss on her forehead for the second time tonight. 
Once her breath evens out, I turn ever so slightly to look at Edmund, who’s back rises and falls ever so slightly. I smile before turning back around and cuddling in a little closer again. Soon, sleep overtakes me as my eyes close little by little. 
Tumblr media
When I wake up again, it’s now morning and I smile down at y/n, who’s still asleep. She shivers ever so slightly and I chuckle quietly before reaching over her to pull the cover farther up her arm. I also pull her closer and make sure the blanket is still tucked under her chin. 
When I’m sure she’s warm enough, I turn my neck to look over at Edmund, who also still sleeps. I smile softly once more before cuddling y/n close as I close my eyes. I drift in and out of sleep for a while before a voice speaks up. 
“Rise and shine, my princess and princes. It is time to prepare to head east towards home,” a faun tells us as she steps into the tent. 
“Very well. Thank you for waking us,” I tell her and she bows slightly before leaving once more. 
We all slowly make work of getting up from bed and getting dressed. Once we're ready, we walk out of our tent just as Susan and Lucy walk out of theirs. When Lucy looks up and sees us, she perks up before running over to y/n. 
“Good morning, y/n. How did you sleep?” Lucy asks as she hugs y/n and looks up at her. 
“I could have slept a little better than I did, but in the end I slept well. How’d you sleep, bug?” Y/n asks her as she strokes her hair lightly before pulling back from the hug. 
“I slept very well,” Lucy tells her with a grin as well as a firm nod. 
“Good. I’m glad you slept well,” y/n replies with a smile. 
“Good morning, y/n, good morning Pete, good morning Ed,” Susan greets us as she now walks up to us. 
“Good morning,” we all chime in. 
“Wow, no ‘is it?’ from you, Edmund?” Susan jokes about how he used to reply with a sarcastic ‘is it?’ Or ‘is it really?’ Instead of an actual good morning, he gives her a snicker. 
“Haha, yeah, yeah. Let’s make fun of Ed, why don’t we?” he sarcastically asks with a roll of his eyes. 
“Pardon me, Your Highnesses, but breakfast is ready. We have your Little Rock set up for you just as we did before,” the same faun that had woken us tells us and we all nod. 
“You may leave and eat your breakfast. I’m sure we know the way ourselves,” I tell the faun and she nods gratefully before bowing. 
“I shall go then, but if you shall need help of any kind just let one of us know,” she tells us as she stands from her bow and we all nod before she turns to start walking away. 
“Wait,” y/n calls out as she reaches for the faun’s arm and gently pulls her so she’s facing her. 
“Yes, your highness?” The faun asks y/n as she looks at her. 
“Where is Oarmia? I haven’t seen her and I’m worried about her,” y/n questions and the faun frowns. 
“Your highness, she’s holed up in her tent. She’s refused to leave,” the faun sadly informs and y/n frowns. 
“Why?” Y/n asks again and the faun sighs. 
“She’s been in there for a while. When we told her about her father, she broke… he was all she had left,” the faun explains and y/n gasps. 
“Take me to her,” y/n tells the faun, who now looks shocked. 
“But your highness, your food?” she asks and y/n waves her hand in dismissal. 
“My food can wait. My friend is hurting. I wish to comfort her,” y/n tells her and I’m in awe of her sweet self as the faun nods before y/n turns to me. 
“I’ll be there in a minute, ok?” she tells me and I nod, giving her a small smile. 
“You go. I’ll make sure Ed doesn’t eat all your food,” I joke and Ed shouts out a ‘hey!’ as y/n giggles. 
“Ok. Thank you. I love you,” she tells me and I nod at her. 
“I love you too,” I tell her softly before she walks off with the faun, who leads her to Oarmia’s tent. 
For a moment, we all watch until y/n and the faun disappears around a corner. I turn to the others and start to push them lightly the way we have to go for breakfast. 
“Come on, guys. Let’s go eat, y/n’ll catch up to us when she can,” I tell them as I beckon them over to our rock. 
Once at the rock, we each sit down and start to eat. About halfway through eating, y/n shows up at our little table. 
“How is she?” Lucy asks and y/n frowns. 
“She’s not doing so well. It’s understandable, really, she lost the only family she had left, but I wish I could help her in some way,” y/n tells us as she sits down next to me and I put an arm around her. 
“I’m sure you just being there and listening to her helps, love,” I inform her before leaving a kiss on her cheek. 
“For once I actually agree with Peter. Just be there for her and let her know you understand her pain,” Edmund tells her before he takes a bite of his last bit of bread. 
“I guess you guys are right. It’s just so sad to see how heartbroken she is. She does have a brother, but she doesn’t even know where he is right now. She wants to find him, but is scared to because she only knows so much of him. He left home when she was only eight to learn his fathers triad,” y/n explains and Edmund smiles a little bit. 
“See, she’s already opened up to you. All you can do now is be there for her,” Edmund tells her and she nods, smiling softly at him. 
“Yeah. It’s not that hard, y/n. Look at how we’ve been by your side,” Lucy adds on and y/n smiles even more. 
“You’re so very right, Lu, you all were there when I thought I had nobody else. Thank you, all of you. Truly, I love you guys like my own family,” she tells us and we all grin at her. 
“You are family, y/n. Always have been and always will be,” Susan chimes in and y/n smiles. 
“You're all right. I’ll just be her shoulder as well as help her look for her brother shall she want to,” y/n tells us with a huge smile. 
“Very well, that can wait for now though. Eat, we have a long journey in a few hours. You should have some food in your stomach,” I practically command y/n to eat and it pulls a giggle out of her. 
“Ever the one to take care of me. Thank you, Pete,” she tells me before leaning over and leaving a kiss on my cheek. 
“Of course I’ll take care of you. I’d take care of all of you in a heartbeat, love,” I reply and she nods, smiling. 
“We all know you would,” she promises me softly before starting to eat. 
Soon we all finish eating and stand up. Together alongside all the narnians, we help start packing up. Once everything is packed and ready for the journey ahead, we all start to head out of where camp once was. 
To Be Continued…

Reader’s Pov:
When I finally decide to get up from the couch, I wrap the blanket around my shoulders before walking out of the break room. I walk down a few halls in search of someone I can talk to and I soon find Warrick talking with Hodges. 
I walk up behind him with my blanket still wrapped around me and Warrick looks down before putting an arm around me. I lean into him and Hodges smiles at me softly before continuing to talk to Warrick. 
“I’m using your track and wheelbase measurements, plus or minus five percent to account for rain-shadowing and/or drying effects,” Hodges explains as the program does its work. 
“All right, print it out,” Warrick tells him and he nods before typing on the computer. 
“Hey. How are you doin’?” Warrick asks me and I shrug. 
“I mean, I slept. It was only half an hour, but I slept. I just want Nicky back…” I tell him with a frown and he nods in understanding. 
“I know, mamas, I know. We’ll get him back. I promise you that,” Warrick tells me as he rubs my shoulder. 
“Here’s the list,” Hodges speaks up as he holds it up and Warrick takes one arm off of me to reach for it. 
“Thanks, man,” Warrick replies as he takes the stack of the printed list. 
“Yeah. Sure. Whatever will help find Nick. What’s your next step from here?” Hodges asks as he crosses his arms. 
“Imma head over and see Rachel. She said she’d show me the traffic cameras in the area,” Warrick tells him and he nods. 
“Well, good luck. Don’t worry, y/n, we’ll bring Nick home to you,” Hodges promises me and I smile weakly at him. 
“You comin’ with me?” Warrick asks as he pulls back to look at me. 
“Yeah. I suppose so,” I agree with him and he nods. 
“Alright, then. Let’s go. Bye, man,” Warrick replies as he stands up and Hodges gives him a nod before going back to his work. 
He turns me around and together we start walking towards Rachel’s office. Soon we walk in to see Rachel typing something up on her computer. She turns when she sees movement and gives us a small smile. 
“Hi, guys. I have the footage loading up right now,” she tells us as she stands and rolls another chair over. 
“Here you are, y/n,” she says as she points down to the chair. 
“Warrick, you can take that chair over there,” she tells him as she points to one at another desk and sits back in her seat. 
“Thanks,” he says sarcastically before walking over to grab the chair. 
He walks back over, pulling it along with him before settling down to my left. He starts to look at her screens and analyze them as it seems the program is up. 
“I need you to bring up the traffic cameras in a three block radius between Flamingo and Koval in the last 24 hours,” he explains to Rachel as he stands up and leans over the table. 
“We only buffer the video for the past few hours,” she quickly informs and he looks at her. 
“I can take you back as far as 10:37pm,” she continues and he rocks back before taking his seat again bringing his hand up to his chin. 
“That’s good enough. Our guy was taken around 11:00,” he tells her as all the cameras pop up simultaneously. 
Together we all look for a few minutes and nothing really seems to jump out at us. My leg starts to bounce as I start to feel more anxious and Warrick gently puts his arm around me. Rachel then pulls up two specific cameras and we watch them. 
“Scan forward. We’re looking for a big truck,” he tells Rachel as he lets go of me to point at the screen. She types something on her keyboard, doing just as he says. 
“How about that one? Looks like a Suburban.” She brings the video on the left to a pause. 
Warrick takes a moment to look at what she points out before looking down at his list that Hodges had given to him. He flips through the pages for a few minutes before looking back up at the screen. 
“It’s on the list,” he confirms as she pushes play again. 
“Whoa, he’s really movin’,” he comments as we continue to watch. 
“Wait a moment… that one, the big Ford,” his voice escalates just a tad, making me jump lightly, but hope flows through me. 
“Follow it,” he decides and Rachel nods. 
Tumblr media
“The expedition truck left the area around 11:15,” Warrick starts to explain as he looks over his paperwork. 
I look up around the table of people who have become my family. Sara takes a drink of her coffee and I resist the urge to cry when I think about how Nick would lean over to me to make some sarcastic comment about what she was drinking. 
“Definitely in a hurry. Took a right off Koval onto Tropicana, crossed Las Vegas boulevard onto the 15 south and then it drove off the grid,” Warrick continues to explain as I snap out of my thoughts. 
He puts his paper down and leans back before scooping my hand into his and giving it a squeeze. If Nick wasn’t the best at knowing my emotions, I’d say Warrick is a good close second. Both can almost always sense when I’m upset and need a good cuddle. 
“At least we have a general direction,” Grissom comments from where he sits. 
“Great, so Nick could be anywhere from Green Valley to Seven Hills to Arizona,” Sara comments in a very sarcastic, dead-end tone and I let out a small puff of air. 
“Sara, not really the time for sarcasm, yeah?” Catherine lightly scolds her as Warrick gives my hand another squeeze. 
“No. It’s ok. She’s right. He could be literally anywhere at this point…” I speak up and everyone nods along understandingly. 
“That is assuming he was even in that truck,” Greg adds on as he leans back in his chair. 
“Well, according to Hodges, the white fibers on Nick’s vest were cotton with traces of ether…” Catherine explains after taking in a breath. 
When she says that, I instantly close my eyes and images of Nick putting up a fight with the person plays though my mind. I feel another squeeze to my hand and it pulls me back to the real world as I open my eyes. 
I look at Warrick and he gives me a tight smile, silently clearly asking me if I’m ok. I hesitate but nod, telling him I’m fine and he turns back to the table. 
“Ether? That’s old school…” Sara comments after a moment of silence. 
“Yeah, stuff is volatile. Flammable. Outside of meth cooks, no one uses it anymore,” Warrick adds on his two scents and the room slowly gets warmer. 
“People use what they know,” Grissom adds as he starts to fidget a bit in his chair. 
“All right, so, where are we on possible suspects?” Catherine asks as she takes her glasses off and looks at Greg. 
“So far, none of Nick’s active or recent cases stand out. And his old stalker’s still behind bars,” Greg explains his findings and I start to shake my leg. 
“Are you 100% sure Nigel is still behind bars, Greg?” I ask, sitting up as I slowly seem to grow more agitated. 
“100%, y/n, I saw him on live video footage myself,” Greg replies and I sigh as I slump back into my chair. 
“Maybe it’s a random act,” Sara comments and I immediately sit back up. 
“Well, that’s possible because whoever staged the crime scene couldn’t have known that Nick was going to respond,” Catherine agrees and I shake my head in disbelief, even though I know what they’re saying is perfectly logical. 
“Yeah, it’s just bad luck he did,” Warrick agrees from next to me, making my leg bounce more. 
“Sara, what about the coffee cup?” Grissom asks as he sets his paperwork back on the table. 
“No DNA or prints on the cup or in the bag,” Sara replies in a matter-of-fact tone. Just then, we hear some sort of commotion going on out in the lobby.
“Don’t touch the edge of it!!” We all hear Hodges scream. 
“You got to sign…” another unknown voice yells out. 
“Security! Security!” Hodges yells out again and Grissom’s the first to get up to his feet. 
We all quickly follow behind him and he runs out to the lobby. Once in the lobby, we can see Hodges and a security guard fighting an individual who holds a package of some sort. 
“Get your freakin’ hands off me, man!” The individual yells out as he fights the security guard. 
Hodges clearly gets a hold of the package and moves over to the desk to inspect it. Grissom stops in the doorway, watching in confusion. 
“Hey! I told you, you gotta sign for that!” The guy that’s still fighting security yells out. 
“What are you doing, Hodges?” Grissom expertly asks what we’re all wondering as we watch from behind him. 
“Guy comes in here with a package with no return address,” Hodges tries to explain as he tries to catch his breath. 
“You’re violating my rights! I want a lawyer!” The delivery guy yells out as he continues to fight with security. 
“Shut up!” Catherine admonishes him as she points at him and he does just that, looking shocked. 
“Way the guy was pawing that envelope, I figured I better get it away from him before he wipes off all of the trace,” Hodges starts to explain himself again and Grissom looks at him, confused. 
“What trace?” Grissom asks, confusion clear in his tone. 
“Oh! It’s about Nick…” Hodges calms down right away as he breaks the news. 
We all step forward when Grissom does only to see what it says on the envelope; 
Crime lab 
3057 Westfall AVE. 
Las Vegas, NV 89109
RE: STOKES
Silence falls as I let out a small gasp when I see my own last name on the envelope. Warrick grabs me and pulls me into his side as Grissom puts gloves on. He then picks the package up very carefully and takes a second to look over the details before turning to Catherine. She opens her mouth like she wants to say something, but nothing comes out and she shakes her head. 
“Let me do this,” Grissom says before pushing past us and walking off.
Tumblr media
Nick’s Pov: 
When I come to, I try to sit up but only end up hitting my head against a hard surface. I groan as I lift my hand to my head and it takes me a moment to realize where I am. When I do, I quickly jump and there’s a thud as my hand hits the top. 
I look around me, trying to figure out what’s going on and find a glow stick. I grab it so I can get a better look around and soon start to breathe heavily before I feel around me some more, only to find my service weapon. 
I grab it and bring it up to where I can see it. I pull the clip out and see it’s still full, making me sigh. I put the clip back in and cock the gun before setting it back down. I then pick the glow stick back up and look around some more before knocking at the glass. 
I reach down to my side again and feel something else. Once again I pull it up so I can see what it is and it’s a tape recorder. I click the play button and at first it’s just static, but soon a voice is leaving me a message. 
“Hi, CSI guy. You wondering why you’re here? Because you followed the evidence. Because that’s what CSIs do. So breathe quick, breathe slow, put your gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. Any way you like, you’re going to die here. Okay,” the voice explains and then the tape shuts off. I slowly start to try and break my way out, but when I can’t I scream only to start sobbing.

Y/n’s Pov:
We all watch through the window to the lab as he walks in and starts to feel around it. When he’s sure it’s not dangerous, he fully sets it down and grabs an x-acto knife. He carefully slices into the top before putting the knife down and picking up a flashlight. 
He turns the flashlight on before holding the package open from the sides and peering into it. Confusion crosses his face before he empties the package onto the table and something falls out from it. We then watch as he looks for any sign of prints with the blue light. 
Soon he’s waving us all in, but I freeze, not knowing if I want to go or not. Catherine stops when she realizes I’ve frozen before looking at me. 
“You ok, y/n/n?” Catherine asks me, but I only shake my head. 
“I don’t know…” I tell her as I stay frozen. 
“Hey. Go ahead. I’ll get her to come, just… uhh, give us a sec,” Warrick tells Catherine and from the corner of my eye, I can see her nod before she walks off. 
“Hey. I’m sure he’s fine. I promise you he’ll come home,” he tells me as he stands in front of me and holds both my shoulders. 
“You can’t make a promise like that, Rick. You don’t know what’ll happen,” I argue back and he sighs before pulling me into another hug. 
“I know I can’t. I’m sorry, but I will promise to do everything in my power to bring him home to you,” he informs me and I sigh before nodding against him. 
“Come on. Let’s go get our boy back,” he says as he pulls back from the hug before pulling me along with him into the room where everyone stands. 
They all watch as I walk in and I give a small smile to them before they all circle around me. Grissom holds up the tape he pulled out earlier and slides it carefully into a tape player. He presses play and we all listen to a few minutes of white noise before 60’s rock music starts to play. 
♪ You can try to please me 
But it won’t be easy 
Stone walls surround me
I’m surprised that you even found me
And you don’t stand an outside chance 
Don’t stand an outside chance 
You don’t stand an outside chance 
But you can try ♪
Outside chance by The Turtles is the song that plays and we all just listen for a good few minutes. We all intently wait for anything else that could help us find my husband, but the song continues to play on. I sigh in anger and Warrick puts his hand down to rub my back soothingly. 
“Son of a bitch… he’s screwing with us,” Catherine curses out loud in anger, shaking her head. 
♪ Whatever you do girl 
You know you can’t get through girl 
Can’t bring me down ♪
The music continues to play and I can’t help, but feel like it’s mainly me the song is taunting. I let out a sigh and Warrick again rubs my lower back to try and comfort me. Grissom then picks up the flash drive that was with the tape and turns to walk over to the desk behind him. 
We all walk over with him and we watch him plug it in as the music continues to play in the background. After he plugs it into the computer, he opens the drive and words start to slide in from the left. 
‘ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN 12 HOURS,’ is the first line, making me gasp quietly and again Warrick quickly pulls me into him, but I turn my head to watch the rest of the lines slide by. 
‘OR THE CSI DIES.’ I gasp again and tears start to fill my eyes as it continues on. 
‘DROP-OFF INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW.’ It continues to have words in all caps slide across the screen. 
‘AND NOW FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE…’ it reads and Warrick tries to get me to turn my head away, but I can’t bring myself to. 
“YOU CAN ONLY WATCH,” it ends off with the watch seemingly looking like a link. 
Grissom moves the mouse and clicks on the link, making us all watch with bated breath as it brings up the video. I let out a gasp when we see Nick pop up on the screen, he’s buried in a clear coffin box and clearly freaking out. The timer at the bottom of the screen clearly counts down, making me have to force myself to try and swallow, but the lump that seems to grow bigger and bigger stops me:
Tumblr media
I push Warrick off me lightly and walk right up next to Grissom. I touch the computer screen with my thumb as tears make their way down my face. I feel Warrick put a hand on my shoulder and I close my eyes, not wanting to see his face contorting in fear any longer. I just stand there with my eyes closed for a moment as everyone else watches on in sadness. I take a deep breath hoping it’ll ground me, but it doesn’t work. 
“Warrick, get her out of here. She doesn’t need to see anymore right now,” Catherine’s voice speaks up and I feel Warrick grab me lightly by the arm. 
He drags me out into the hall and steadily holds me by the shoulders. He says something, but I don’t catch it in my panic mode and he gives me a small shake to break me out of it. 
“Why don’t you go back to the break room. I’ll come check on you in a bit,” he tells me and I shake my head as I immediately sober up. 
“No. I’ll be fine. Let me back in there,” I demand as I cross my arms across my chest. 
“Sweets, are you-” he starts as he stands big and tall in my way, but I stop him as I hold up a hand, shaking my head. 
“Let me back in there, Warrick… now…” I tell him as I cross my arms and put a scowl on my face. 
“I don’t think-” Warrick starts, but I cut him off. 
“Ok. So I had a moment of weakness, Rick. So what, that’s my husband on that live feed. It may be the last time I can fully see him. Please… I’m good now, I swear. If I get overwhelmed again, I promise I’ll go shower or something. Just… let me go back,” I beg him before casting my eyes down to the floor as they start to fill with tears again, but I will them away.
“Please… B…” I whisper out, still refusing to look up at him and he sighs, making me look up at him. 
“Ok, but if it gets the slightest bit bad, you’re out of the room, got it?” he asks me and I nod with a small smile. 
“Thank you, B…” I tell him as I walk over to him and reach up to give his cheek a kiss. 
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I know Nick would literally be sitting over there day or night if roles were reversed. Just don’t make me regret it,” he lightly jokes as he steps to the side to let me though and I shake my head. 
“Wouldn’t think of it. Nick would have my butt for making you regret it anyway, ” I tell him as I pat his chest as I pass him and he chuckles lightly. 
I walk back into the room just as they click on the watch link again and my smile instantly falls. I walk over next to Catherine and Warrick stops behind me, putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. Grissom now sits at a desk behind us all, writing something down. 
“I don’t think he knows we can see him,” Catherine comments as we all continue to watch. 
“How can we be sure it’s a live feed?” Sara asks as we all don’t take our eyes off the computer. 
“We’ve got to assume that it is,” Warrick replies grimly and I feel him rub my shoulder ever so slightly. 
“The space in that box looks like two by two by six, which would be 24 cubic feet. That would hold approximately 600 liters of air,” Grissom speaks up, getting all of our attention and making us turn to him to see him doing the math. 
“If you figure half a liter per breath… slow breathing…” Grissom continues, but pauses to look at his watch. 
“Maybe twelve breaths per minute. Panic breathing would be, what, twice that much,” Grissom analyzes more as he looks up at us, then back down to his paper. 
“Well, if the math is right, he’s got about an hour and 15 minutes of air left in that box,” Grissom finishes off and we all turn back to the screen. 
“But if they’re going to keep him alive for twelve hours, it must mean that he’s got an additional air supply,” Catherine adds on and we watch for a few more minutes until the video clicks back to the beginning page. 
“We lost the feed,” Johnson, our tech guy who stands next to Sara, tells us and we all look confused for a moment. 
Warrick pushes me slightly out of the way and grabs onto the mouse. He uses it to click on the WATCH again and the video pops up. 
“Looks like a live feed to me,” Warrick comments. “I say we keep the light on,” he continues as we all watch on. 
One by one, the others leave to try and learn more. Now it’s just me and Warrick sitting here, constantly clicking the link to watch it. Every once in a while, I find myself playing with my ring as well as the necklace that sits on my neck:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I switch off playing with my ring, spinning it around my finger over and over before letting it sit idle for a few minutes. Then I play with my necklace, moving it back and forth on my neck. I sigh and look down at my ring and I feel a hand land on my hand. 
“Stop that. I know you’re worried, that’s what you do when stressed, worried or trying to hide something. Seeing as the situation is a little difficult, I’d say it’s definitely the first two, but the more you do it, the more you freak out,” Warrick tells me and I shake my head, letting a puff of air out. 
“You’re right, I need to calm down…”I agree wearily and he nods. 
“There ya go. He’ll be home and cuddled up in your bed with you before you know it,” Warrick practically wills it in his tone and I sigh. 
“Maybe I should go-” I start, but pause when my phone goes off. 
I pull it out of my pocket and the face lights up, showing me there’s a text. Opening it, I find a text from Catherine: His parents are here. Still wanna come in with me and Griss? 
I frown lightly, but text back: Yeah, it’ll be helpful for his mom if I’m there. Which room are we doing it in? I’ll be there in a minute.
It’s only a minute later when she replies: We will be in the smaller meeting room. 
When done reading the last text over, I let out a sigh and look at Warrick. He raises an eyebrow at me and I shake my head. 
“It’s Catherine. She’s informing me that his mom and dad are here,” I explained and he nods before rubbing at his cheek. 
“Go. Come find me if you need me after, ok? I’ll drop everything if you need me too,” he promises and I give him a small, sad smile. He gets up as I do and pulls me into a hug. I sigh and sink into his warmth for a moment before pulling away. 
“Here I go. I’ll possibly see you after,” I tell him and he gives me a thumbs up. 
“You got this, sunshine,” he encourages me and I give him a half smile as well as a small nod. 
He turns back to the screen and I catch him grimacing before I turn around. I take one last sigh before starting to walk towards the small meeting room. When I get there, I can see Catherine and his parents just sitting down. 
“Y/n. Hi, dear. How are you doing? You don’t look well,” his mother comments in a concerned tone as she gets up from her seat and comes over to hug me.
“Umm, honestly Jillian, I’m far from feeling fine. But maybe you should sit back down before me and Catherine tell you what’s happened,” I tell her as she pulls back from the hug and frowns at me. 
“Of course, dear. If you think that’s best,” she agrees with me and together we walk over to the table. 
She walks around and sits next to her husband and I sit across from her. I look at his dad and give him a soft smile. 
“Y/n,” he greets with a firm head nod. 
“Judge,” I greet back the same way. 
“Where’s Griss?” I ask Catherine as I look around, not finding him. 
“He had something to look into. He’ll be here in a few minutes,” Catherine explains and I nod, taking a gulp. 
“Do you wanna break it to them or me?” she asks me and I nod. 
“I guess I can,” I sigh before turning to look at his mom and dad. 
“Mom…” I prompt as I pull my hand out and shakily hold it out to her. 
“Judge,” I prompt after she grabs my hand and gives it a squeeze while I look at her husband, who nods firmly to me again. 
“Nick’s been… kidnapped. They want one million dollars in twelve hours…” I explain and his mom immediately gets tears in her eyes. 
“Ok. We can make that money. We have starter money right here,” his dad informs us as he holds up a yellow envelope. 
“Do we at least know he’s safe? Y/n. Is my baby ok?” she asks me as she again squeezes on my hand. 
“From what we’ve seen. I think he’ll be ok. If we can get to him,” I tell her and the room goes quiet for a moment. 
“Bill…” his mom whispers as she lets go of my hand to hold onto his arm. 
It stays quiet for a moment more before we see Grissom walking up to the door. He seems to just get off his phone before coming in as Catherine clears her throat. 
“Judge Stokes, Mrs. Stokes. Gill Grissom,” Catherine introduces them as she motions to Nick’s mom and dad, then to Gill. 
“Your honor. Mrs. Stokes. I’m… uh… sorry that we’re meeting under these circumstances,” Gill gives his condolences and I pull in a rough patch of air. 
“Y/n. Honey. Come here,” his mother tells me as she holds her arms open. 
I move my chair over to her and she pulls me into her arms. I hold back my sobs as much as I possibly can as she strokes my hair. 
“Have you been able to make contact with the animals who took my son?” his dad asks Gill in a very straightforward tone. 
“No, we haven’t yet, but… they should be contacting us in roughly four hours,” Catherine explains as Gill takes a seat next to her now. 
“We were able to rustle up $20,000 cash. Our bank's prepared to wire another $100,000. Now we can sell the cars. We can hock the ranch... We can make the number, but it’s gonna take at least another day. We’ll do whatever we can to bring our boy home to his wife,” his dad explains his plan in a very detailed manner as a judge would.
“Judge Stokes-” Gill starts to try explaining. 
“Can we give them the money we have now, try to buy more time?” His mom asks as she pushes the envelope towards Gill. 
“Mom. Please listen to what Gill has to say,” I beg her and she nods as she stops pushing the money towards him. 
“I don’t think that will help,” Gill tells her honestly and she sits back in her seat. 
I take her hand that’s still around my shoulder and pull it to my front so I can hold it. She looks at me, confused for a moment, but I bite my lip as I nod my head back at Gill. 
“There’s got to be something we can do,” his dad replies in disbelief that there’s nothing that he can do to help. He’s always been the one to rush in and save Nick from anything, whether it be his own mistake or not, making me roll my eyes. 
“You’ve already done it by coming here, by showing your support for both Nick and y/n…” Catherine tries to explain and his mom squeezes my hand. 
“We’re not here to show support. We’re here to get Nick home to us and his wife. Where he belongs,” his mom cuts in with an angry tone and I squeeze her hand softly as her voice falters at the end. 
“We’re not sure who has your son… or why…” Griss tells them and his dad gives him a confused look. 
“Well… what the hell do you know?” Judge asks in a borderline angry tone and I close my eyes for a moment. 
“Judge, please…” I almost whimper out and he sighs before looking at Grissom. 
“Very little…” Grissom answers his question and his mom squeezes my hand again. 
“Let’s just cut to the gist. What proof do you have that my boy’s still alive?” he asks and I let out a sharp gasp along with his mom. 
Catherine and Gill give each other serious looks as Nick's mom still holds onto me. I shake my head when I look at Gill, but it’s almost like he ignores it. 
“Gill, don’t. They can’t see it. Jillian, tell them no. You don’t wanna see it,” I burst out, shaking my head as I frantically get up out of my seat. 
“Y/n. You're ok. Calm down, it’s going to be ok,” Jillian is quick to stand up, coming over to me and pulling me into a hug. 
“Y/n, honey, I think even if we don’t want to see it, we have to,” she tells me as she strokes my hair and I sniffle. 
“Ok… I’m sorry. It’s just very hard to see…” I reply to her and she hums, nodding. 
“No. Don’t be sorry, dear. You’re just trying to keep us from hurting more. We understand, but we have to see it,” she tells me and I sigh before pulling away from the hug. 
“Ok. Griss, let’s show them,” I whisper out with a reserved nod. Grissom nods softly before standing along with Catherine as I walk back over. 
“Judge. Mrs. Stokes, if you’ll follow me,” Grissom says as he looks at his dad and the Judge nods as I wrap my arms around myself. 
We all walk back to the room that Warrick and I had sat in earlier. Grissom leads us over to the computer and he looks at Catherine for a moment. 
“This might be a little hard to watch, like y/n said before, but it’s the only proof of life we have for you,” he explains to them and Jillian nods as she gets a little closer to her husband. 
“We’re ready…” Bill tells him and Grissom nods solemnly before pressing the watch button. It goes completely quiet in the room. 
Nick's face pops up on the screen again and I let out a shuddering breath. We watch for a few minutes as Nick keeps his arm over his eyes and away from the bright light. The countdown that beeps at the bottom of the screen stares at me, taunting me and it takes everything I have not to break down right away. 
His mom freezes for a moment, tears filling her eyes before letting out a devastating grunt. She walks off just outside of the lab, but I can’t tear my eyes away quite yet. His dad watches on with me for a moment more. 
“Oh, Pancho… what the hell you got yourself into?” Judge asks and that’s when I break. 
I walk over with him to Jillian and he pulls her off the wall she’s leaning on and hugs her from behind. I stand there and can’t help, but wish Nick was here to do the same thing with me. She turns and looks at me for a moment before holding her arms open for me. 
My lip wobbles slightly before I rush into the hug and she just holds me as her husband holds her. We stay that way for a while before I pull back and wipe at my cheeks. 
“I’ll, ahh… see you guys later. I’ve gotta go find Warrick. You guys go home and we’ll update you as soon as we can,” I tell them and Jillian reaches back out for me. 
“We’re not going home. Bill has a hotel for us to stay in. Y/n, you should come back with us,” she tells me and I shake my head. 
“No. I’m ok. Really. I’ll text you when there’s something that comes up. Please just go try and sleep,” I tell her and she sighs. 
“Ok, but please promise you’ll take care of yourself, dear,” she tells me and I nod as I purse my lips. 
“I’ll do my best. I’ll text you, ok?” I promise one last time and when she nods in confirmation, I start to walk away. 
I walk down a few halls and stop to lean against a wall when I feel like I’m going to puke. Once the feeling passes, I stand back up and continue on to find Warrick in the break room. I sigh and quickly rush over to him. 
When he hears me enter, he puts his chips down and looks up at me before getting up to come over to me, pulling me into a much needed hug. 
“Rick… he’s just so terrified… I’m terrified I won’t see him again…” I whimper out and he sighs. 
“You’ll see him again, mamas. You will. Just gotta have hope. I don’t want you watching that video again unless I’m there, ok?” he asks and I sleepily nod against him. 
He leads me over to the break room couch and together we sit down. He pulls me into a hug and just holds me as my whole resolve breaks. The last thing I remember before falling asleep from exhaustion and crying was him laying me down with a blanket over me.

Summary:  Chris is a nervous person and sometimes Scarlet or Elisabeth let him just draw on their arms to help calm him down, but neither of them will be at this interview. He gets too nervous to ask his girlfriend, even though she’ll be sitting right next to him. But how does he feel when she just gives him her arm and a smile? Does the reader take care of her boyfriend well?
Tumblr media
PSA: I am trying a new style of writing so please bare with me here. I’d love to know which style you guys love more. My first style that I’ve been currently working on or this one with the you added in? I’ll stick with whatever style you guys like, I just thought it’d be fun for you guys and myself to switch it up a bit, to try something new for a while. Plus I feel it’s giving me a new writing outlook and definitely stretching my mind a little more. Like I feel it’s only helpful for me to experiment with it and try all kinds of new styles rather then stick with one ya know what I mean? I think I’m just making my own mind more broad to the point where I’m pushing myself to try new things.

Please refrain from stealing our work, thank you and please enjoy!!

Third Person Pov:
Chris takes a deep breath as the makeup team that’s assigned to him makes sure the last minute look is done. He realizes at that moment that neither Liz nor Scarlet would be at this interview with him. It’s been years since he’s done one without them around, and for some reason that only makes him more nervous. 
“Hi baby,” you say as you come up behind him. 
“Hi honey,” he replies back to his girlfriend of three, almost four, years. 
“Baby, are you ok? You're shaking,” you ask, putting a hand on his bicep and he quickly nods. 
“Y…y…yeah. I’m fine,” he stutters out and that’s how you immediately know something is up. 
“Babe? Are you sure? You’re stuttering,” you point out with raised eyebrows and he only nods again. 
“Just a little nervous, that’s all,” he finally relents in telling you. 
“Awe, baby. It’s ok to be nervous. I’d be worried if you weren’t nervous. I’m sure you’ll be fine out there,” you softly promise him as you give him a side hug. 
“Hey. Don’t be messing yourself up yet,” your hairdresser and stylist Erica tells you as she swats at your hands. 
“Ok. Sorry, mom!” you joke with a giggle, holding your hands up in dramatic surrender and a smile when Chris laughs lightly. 
“She’s right, man! You’ll be fine. Plus your girlfriend here will be right next to you most of the time,” Ryan chimes in as he comes up beside you out of nowhere, making you jump. 
“Oops, I’m sorry,” he apologizes after realizing he made you jump. 
“No. No. You're ok.” You give him a smile and a slight nod. 
“See. Honey, you'll be fine. It’s just your anxiety making it seem worse, babe,” you tell Chris with a grin and he nods, reaching his hand out for you to grab. 
“First, we’d like to introduce Mr. Ryan Gosling himself!” The announcer yells out, making Ryan give a look to you and Chris before he takes his first step up the stairs to the stage. 
“Thank you! Thank you. It’s so good to be here with you all today,” You hear Ryan speak out to the crowd through his mic. 
“Alrighty, you're done, miss y/n. I don’t mean to toot my own horn or anything, but you look very pretty,” Erica tells you, making you grin as you feel the heat of a blush creep up your neck. 
“Thank you very much, Erica, but it’s all you,” you play off her words and she waves you off with her hand as well as a light scoff. 
“Oh! You flatter me. It’s definitely not all me. You have great looks, even without the makeup,” she promises you and you shake your head with a giggle. 
“Well thank you, Erica,” you sincerely add on and she smiles at you as she gives your hand a squeeze. 
“Anytime. I’ll see you later for that other interview,” she tells you and you grin at her whilst nodding. 
“See you then,” you agree with her before grabbing onto her hand again as she goes to walk away. 
“Erica, wait. Did you put what I asked you to in the pocket of my romper?” you whisper to her and she grins, nodding. 
“Yes, I did. They’re on your right hand side,” she tells you and you grin at her. 
“Thank you, Erica,” you say with a nod as you squeeze her hand one last time before letting go. 
“You're very welcome, miss y/n,” she replies to you with a grin just before she leaves. 
“She’s right, ya know?” Chris suddenly chimes. 
“Right about what?” you ask him as you turn your neck to look at him again and he grins as he saunters up to you. 
“That you’re beautiful. You're the most beautiful person here, baby,” he coos with a soft smile and you look away back to the stage as you feel another blush creeping up your neck. 
“Thank you, honey,” you reply and he smiles a cheeky smile as he pulls your back to his chest, holding onto you for a moment. 
“Do we have to go out there?” he asks you, making you giggle before turning in his arms. 
“Sorry babe, but yes. Yes, you do. In the end you’ll be fine though. I’ll be with you the whole time,” you promise as you rub his forearms lightly. 
“And next we have the very beautiful and talented Y/n Braxton!!!” The announcer yells out and you take a deep breath before Chris is letting you go to walk up the steps to the stage. 
You turn before stepping up onto the stage and the crowd goes wild as you walk over to your chair, waving before sitting down next to Ryan. You smile out at the crowd cheering before you and wait for them all to calm down before speaking. 
“Thank you for that sweet introduction, Nathan. I’m very glad to be here with you all,” you speak into your mic as you look out over the crowd. 
“Next we have the very gentle, sweet man you all know and love as Steve Rogers, a.k.a Captain America… Mr. Chris Evans himself!” The announcer says and Chris walks out. 
Chris has a tight-lipped smile on his face as he waves to the fans, before walking over and sitting down next to you. You smile at him and he puts a hand on your thigh underneath the table. You smile softly at him as you grab his hand and give it a squeeze. 
“Thank you all for the warm welcome! As y/n said, I’m very glad to be here with you all,” Chris speaks into his mic and you feel his finger twitch ever so slightly. 
You squeeze his hand exceptionally softly and he squeezes yours back. He seems to relax immensely for the time being. 
“Ok. Should we start off with questions?” Nathan the announcer asks and all three of you nod at him. 
“Ok. So I think we’re just going to start off with the questions I have for you guys, then let fans and press ask some,” Nathan explains and you, Chris and Ryan all nod. 
“Ok. I have about five to ten questions here. First one is for Chris. So this is your second time playing a villain, right?” Nathan asks him and Chris nods. 
“Yeah. It is,” Chris replies in agreement and Nathen nods. 
“Well, which do you like playing more? The hero or the villain?” Nathan inquires and chuckles when Chris takes a moment to think about it. 
“Well to tell you the truth, being the hero has been a majority of my career and being the villain is very fun, but I still think I prefer the hero. I just don’t really like being too mean,” Chris admits and the whole room chuckles, but you feel him start to fidget again. 
“I mean, that makes a lot of sense actually. You just seem like a very gentle person. I feel like everyone was a little confused when you played Ransom,” Nathan agrees with him and you nod along to that while rubbing his hand under the table. 
“I mean I can definitely play the meaner parts, it’s just weird when you’ve been one of the good guys for so many years,” Chris explains with a shrug and Nathan chuckles lightly. 
“I could see it. Y/n, any thoughts on your boyfriend’s second bad guy character?” Nathan asks you and you smile. 
“Actually, I think it’s refreshing because now people get to see the extent of his talent. I will admit that I fell for him as Captain America, because I’ve always had a thing for good natured boys, especially Cap. Even from a young age, I loved Cap in the comics,” you explain as you squeeze his hand again. When he lets go, he starts to drum his fingers against your thigh. 
“But I think he did really well with both Lloyd and Ransom. I personally didn’t like seeing him act all mean, but this time around was easy because I got to be the mean girlfriend,” you expound as you laugh lightly with the crowd and Nathan grins while nodding. 
“That actually brings me into the next question, which is for you, y/n. Can you tell us a little bit about the origins of your character and how she changes throughout the movie?” Nathan asks, making you grin while nodding. 
“I can’t tell you much before the movie starts out, but she really doesn’t change much unless you count in life changing. She starts out as Lloyd’s girlfriend, who’s like his right hand person, but by the end of it she ends up his wife and I really can’t tell you how on that part,” you try to illustrate your character's story in the vaguest terms that you can. 
“Ok. Cool. I’m excited to see your character,” Nathan replies in excitement and you grin at him. 
“Thank you. I’m very excited for everyone to see it as well,” you tell him and he smiles, nodding. 
“Ok. Next question is for Ryan. This was your first movie with both y/n and Chris correct?” Nathan inquires and Ryan smiles, nodding along. 
“How was working on set with them?” Nathan questions and Ryan grins. 
“It was great. Some other actors and actresses aren’t always how they’re described, but y/n and Chris were exactly how you’d expect them to be,” Ryan explains with a grin. 
“Should we take that as a compliment or an insult?” Chris jokingly asks and you giggle when Ryan’s eyes widen. 
“A compliment. Always a compliment! All I meant was that people say you guys are the nicest and sweetest couple out there, and I totally agree with that deduction,” Ryan tries to clarify himself, making me and Chris laugh at him. 
“Thank you, Ry. That’s actually very sweet of you to say,” you assure him that you and Chris are not upset at all, making him grin as he squeezes your shoulder softly. 
“So y/n and Chris are exactly how people say they are?” Nathan queries and Ryan nods vigorously with a grin. 
“They really are!” Ryan shouts in exasperation with playful widened eyes and you giggle. 
“It’s almost unbelievable how nice they are sometimes,” Ryan playfully shouts and again the crowd laughs. 
“Like the other day on set. It was what?” Ryan starts to explain before looking at you and Chris in question. 
“It was like our second to last day filming and I woke up that day, just feeling like the absolute worst… just totally sick,” Ryan tries to describe as he gives a bunch of gestures. 
“And Eva couldn’t really make it to help me start feeling better because the kids had school and everything. So who comes in to check on me first after hearing about it?” Ryan asks, pausing as he looks at Nathan for an answer, but he just shrugs. 
“Chris was the first one. He came in asking me how I was feeling and all that stuff. Then his girlfriend comes knocking on the door just a few minutes after him and he lets her in,” Ryan continues to recount the story, making you and Chris chuckle. 
“And she walks in with all kinds of bags. Only for me to find out that they’d gotten me all the essentials for when you're sick. Including chicken soup! Like not many other co-stars of mine come and bring me stuff when I'm sick, ya know? Cause they don’t wanna get sick either,” Ryan explains and Nathan nods along to the story with a grin. 
“It was crazy to me that they even did that, but then they stayed for a while and kept me company till I got tired, leaving to let me rest. The next morning they came back to check on me. All without fear of getting sick,” Ryan finishes the story and the crowd coos at the story. 
“Wow. So you guys really are how people say you are then,” Nathan comments and Ryan nods his head in confirmation. 
“Really. The nicest couple I’ve met and I’ve been around for quite some time now,” Ryan jokes, making the crowd laugh. 
“We just wanted to make sure he was back to 100%. We became quick friends so it was easy to want to help him when he needed it,” you comment with a light shrug like it was nothing. 
“See what I mean?! They just do nice things just to do it! There’s not many out there like that anymore,” Ryan exclaims, making both you and Chris smile. 
“Ok. I have another question for you, Ryan. Was there anything new you had to do on this set?” Nathan asks and Ryan playfully rolls his eyes. 
“Oh! Have you been asked this question before?” Nathan jokingly queries with a chuckle when Ryan nods. 
“Yeah, but I don’t mind answering again. You know the fight choreography, that was the new stuff for me. I mean I’ve had fight scenes in movies before, but like, this is a whole film with it in it,” Ryan tries to clarify and I nod along. 
“The fight scenes were mostly all new for me too. I’ve only ever done a few fight scenes as Starling in the Avengers franchise. I’ve never done a full movie either, so this was a whole new experience,” you chime in.
“Right?!” Ryan says as he excitedly points at you and you nod, giggling lightly. 
“And as I’ve said in another interview, it’s so very easy to, you know, to get your right and your left confused and like, that definitely makes a big difference to the person you’re performing it with,” Ryan rants and you smile, nodding in agreement. 
“Oh! It’s so easy. I’m still sorry about that one hit,” you apologize to Ryan with a giggle. 
“I’ve already told you, I get why it happened,” Ryan tells you with a roll of his eyes. 
“What happened?” Nathan asks with wide eyes. 
“Well… I was supposed to go right and punch as he hit from the left, but we both ended up going to the left and I ended up giving him a little bit of a real black eye…” you explain and giggle when Nathan’s eyes widen. 
“So when I have that one black eye in the movie… it’s real. A lot of people suspected it when they saw the movie, even though we tried to cover it up,” Ryan informs with a chuckle. 
“Well at least you weren’t alone in having problems with the new choreography,” Nathan jokingly points out and Ryan nods while crossing his arms. 
“I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one,” Ryan agrees with a nod and a smile at you. 
“Ok. Well I have one last question for y/n. This was your first real villain you played in a movie, right?” Nathan asks you and you nod as Chris seems to get more fidgety again, letting go of your hand to drum on your thigh once more. 
“Yeah, but I had a wonderful coach to teach me the ropes of going from a good character to bad,” you answer and look at Chris to make it known he's who you're talking about. 
“I will admit, I agree with him that it was hard to branch out and play a bad guy after being solely a good guy for so long, but in the end I had fun and Chris was super helpful in my switching over from good to bad,” you continue to explain with a smile as Chris seems to start to blush a bit. 
“The hardest part though of such a drastic change I think is that as you film, you're constantly wondering what the fans will think. Will they like it? Will I get hate for it or possibly even be told I’m a bad actress?” You list off all the questions you remember that at one point had gone through your head. 
“You ask yourself a lot of those questions because you’re so focused that the fans will hate or love you as this. Ya know? Because they only see you as that one thing, so you really start to think hard on how things will go,” you finish explaining with a shrug and Nathan nods along the whole time. 
“I mean, that totally makes sense. The fans are definitely a driving force for this industry so it makes sense you’d want them impressed,” Nathan agrees with you as you smile and nod. 
“Oh, most definitely,” you animatedly agree with him. 
“Ok. That was my last question, so I guess it’s open mic for the press and fans. I mean, if you guys are ready,” Nathan announces as he looks at you, Chris, and Ryan. 
“I’m good for it,” Ryan chimes in as he looks at you and Chris. 
“I’m up for it,” you agree with a smile while nodding. 
“Me too,” Chris agrees, but he lets go of your hand and sits back. 
“Ok. We’ll have to wait while Jake gets the mic ready and finds someone to give it to,” Nathan informs you and the guys. 
You all nod and you try to keep your smile on, but all you want to do is frown at the loss of contact from your boyfriend. He crosses his arms before lifting a hand to run it over his coming beard. He scratches at his cheek before folding his arms back together as his leg now starts to bounce. 
You watch from the corner of your eye as he seems to only get more and more anxious as you watch Jake get the mic. Jake looks around for someone to give it to and he picks someone. He goes over to hand it to two giddy looking girls. 
Chris’s leg only starts to bounce more and the more he does it, the more you worry. Like a lightbulb going off over your head, you get an idea. You reach into your pocket and find the small little bic arm art pens that you had Erica put in your pocket. 
With a small smirk, you pull them out and hand them to Chris. He unfolds one of his arms to grab the pens from you before giving you a confused look. You smile softly at him before holding your arm out and he still looks confused. 
“They’re arm art pens, hon. Go ahead and draw on my arm. Scar told me it calms you. To tell you the truth, I love these pens myself, use them all the time to draw on myself or other human canvases,” you explain as you lean over to him and slowly he grins. 
“I love you. You know that?” he asks you quietly and you giggle. 
“You tell me just about every ten minutes, babe. So yes, I know it, but hey. I’m right here,” you joke with him before sincerely patting his leg, making him chuckle in disbelief. 
He lets out a puff of air, shaking his head as he sets half of the art pens on the table before he uncaps one. He grabs your arm and leans forward to the table. He holds onto your arm as he starts to draw on it with a soft smile on his lips now. 
You smile softly as he draws on your arm before turning to the crowd again. You continue to smile as the two giddy girls stand up and hold the mic. 
“Omg, hi. Umm, our question is for Chris…” the girls trail off and he pauses his drawing to look up at them. 
“I’m all ears,” he promises them and he keeps eye contact with them, making them giggle. 
“When are you going to propose to Starling, hmm?” They ask him and he pauses again as you freeze, wondering what he’ll say. 
“That’s for me to know and nobody else,” Chris replies with a coy smile as well as a wink at them, making you giggle. 
“Ok. I guess that’s that. Any more questions?” Nathan asks the girls and they shake their heads no as Chris goes back to his drawing now, seemingly not anxious at all. 
“Alrighty then Jake, can you find us another person with a question please?” Nathan inquires to Jake who nods, grabbing the mic from the girls. 
Jake stands and looks around before finding what appears to be a couple. The woman smiles as she takes the mic from Jake. 
“Hi. Huge fan of you all. Y/n, can I ask out of all your characters, which was your favorite and why?” The girl asks and I smile as she looks at the guy next to her. 
“Wow! That’s an amazing question," you say and think for a minute. "Umm, I’d have to say Jenna was my favorite. She sticks with Frank for like the whole movie. She’s his shoulder to lean on and she just is super helpful. Not to mention I’m a huge sucker for the fact that her and Frank’s love story is a best friends to lovers situation,” you explain with a huge grin and she smiles. 
“Is she the one you feel most connected with?” The girl questions and you nod. 
“I mean, I feel connected with her because her love story plays out mostly like mine, but no. I actually feel closer to Starling…” you clarify for her and she grins. 
“I adore Starling. I wish we could have seen more of her story. Will we?” The girl continues to ask and you shrug. 
“I’m really not at liberty to tell if we’ll see her again at all. All I can say is I really hope we do,” you inform before looking down to watch as Chris draws very intricate designs on your arm in many different colors. 
“If we ever do, where would you like to see her?” The girl inquires and you look back up at her with a smile. 
“Well, when we left off with her she was in search of Steve after he went back to Peggy. I guess I really hope she finds him and appeals to him. I mean the girl is absolutely head over heels for him, how could he not love her back?” you joke, making Chris look up at you. 
“Chris, do you see Cap loving Starling back?” The girl now queries and he doesn’t hesitate to nod. 
“Oh, most definitely. I think he’s just, ya know, stuck in the past. Can’t really differentiate from loving Peggy or Starling. The girls are two completely different people with different personalities, so I think he has issues figuring out that he’s perfect for Starling,” Chris explains and you look at him. 
“You only say that cause I’m Starling,” you joke and he shrugs. 
“I mean that’s definitely a factor here, but we’re dealing with a very complex love triangle here, dear. It also happens in the multiverse, so anything could happen,” Chris informs you and you giggle, shaking your head at him. 
“Ok. Is that all the questions you have?” Nathan asks her and she grins, nodding. 
“Ok. Thank you. Jake,” Nathan says as he nods to Jake. 
Jake gives a nod of confirmation before grabbing the mic from her. He stands straight and looks around for a moment before perking up. He walks over and points to a teenage girl. 
He walks over to her and hands her the mic. A little boy that’s definitely younger than her stands next to her, holding onto her leg. He peeks around and you wave at him, making him quickly hide again. 
“My little brother’s a little shy. He wants to know if Starling would marry him,” she asks as he peeks around her leg once again and you smile at him. 
“Unfortunately buddy, miss Starling is already taken by this guy right here,” you tell him as you jab a thumb over at Chris. 
“Yeah. Sorry little man. She’s all mine,” Chris agrees with you as he pauses his drawing again and you see the little boy smile softly as he pulls on his sister's sleeve. 
She bends down to him and he whispers something in her ear. She laughs before standing up and looking back up at Chris. She brings the mic up as the little boy hides behind her leg again before peeking out at you. 
“He says he wants to duel with you, Mr. America. Best man gets the woman,” the girl informs and Chris pretends to think about it. 
“Ok. When do you wanna have this duel, little man?” Chris asks him and his face falls to one of shock before pulling on his sister's pant leg again. 
She chuckles lightly as she bends down to him. Again he whispers into her ear and she snickers. 
“He said you already win. He’d never beat Captain America because he wouldn’t wanna hurt his favorite hero. I mean, besides Starling of course,” she informs Chris with a light smirk. 
“Awe, thanks buddy. I’ll tell you what, I’ll let you give her a kiss on the cheek. Will that be good enough?” Chris inquires with a raised eyebrow and you can’t help but grin at the cute interaction. 
The girl leans into her brother and he whispers into her ear again. She smiles and looks back up at him. 
“He says that would work,” the sister tells Chris with a smile. 
“Great, come on up here, buddy,” Chris says, waving a hand at him before he caps the pen he was using and gets up from his seat. 
He walks over to the side of the small stage as the girl hands Jake the mic and walks over with her brother on her hip. Chris reaches down and she hands him up to him. Chris quickly grabs him and puts him on his hip before walking back around the small table to get to you. 
Chris sets him down on the chair and you lean over as the cute little boy leans down to your cheek. He gives it a sweet, gentle little kiss and the crowd all coos as he stands back up. You smile and look up at him from your chair. 
“Thank you for the kiss. It was very nice,” you tell him and smile when he grins. 
“You're welcome,” he replies, making you smile even more. 
He turns around and lifts his arms up for Chris. Chris picks him up and pats him on the back before handing him back to his big sister. 
“Thank you for that. You really made his day, maybe even the rest of his year,” she informs Chris and he grins before waving at the little boy. 
“Bye, buddy,” Chris says with a small smile as the little boy breaks out into another grin. 
“Bye, Mr. America!” The little boy shouts with a huge smile as his sister starts walking back to their seats. 
Chris comes back and sits next to you. He grabs one of the pens as he sits down and starts to draw on your arm again. You all get asked more questions for another hour and by now your arm is mostly filled with intricate designs all around it. 
“Alright. I believe that concludes our panel. Do you guys have anything you want to finish with?” Nathan asks as he looks at you and the guys. 
“I don’t. How about you guys?” Ryan questions as he leans forward a bit to look at you and Chris. 
You look at Chris and he shrugs. You turn back and smile at Nathan. 
“I don’t believe we have anything,” you inform him and he nods, smiling. 
“Ok. Well that concludes today’s panel. We hope you all had a great time and got to ask all your questions. We also hope the cast had a good time up here with you all,” Nathan informs the crowd and you smile. 
“I know I had a wonderful time,” you speak up when Nathan prompts for one of you to. 
“I had a great time as well,” Ryan agrees with a nod and smile. 
“Yeah. Had a awesome time. Glad we could all be here,” Chris chimes in with his agreement and you giggle lightly, making Chris give you a look of confusion. 
“I’ll tell you later,” you whisper to him as you lean over slightly so he can hear you. 
“If you didn’t get a chance to ask, you can also ask at the small meet and greet that’s after this. The stars will be out in the lobby to interact with you after taking a short break,” Nathan tells the crowd as you, Ryan and Chris all start to stand. 
Once fully standing, Chris gets led to the side first and you follow as you wave to the crowd. Ryan follows after you and Chris turns to you after going down the stairs himself. He holds a hand out and up towards you, making you giggle. 
“Milady. Can I help you down the stairs?” Chris asks in a funny posh accent, making you giggle and grin. 
“Why of course you can, kind sir,” you joke back as you place your hand in his. 
He chuckles, shaking his head before helping you down and keeping a hold of your hand. Together you walk over to the small couch and sit down. Ryan comes over and sits across from you guys. 
“You guys rest up, you have about five to ten minutes before going into the hall,” Nathan tells you guys with a smile before he opens his water. 
“Gladly,” Chris agrees as he pulls you into his side and you nuzzle into him. 
“It’s been one crazy morning, huh?” Ryan questions as he leans back into the chair. 
“That it has been,” you agree with a soft smile. 
It’s only a little while later that you all have to get up and head into the hallway. You then spend a few hours with fans in the hall answering more questions and smiling for photos. Chris seems in his element and it makes you smile that he’s not as anxious as he was. 
“Hey. I’m always right here,” you mouth when you catch Chris looking at you and he smiles. 
“I love you,”  he mouths back with a smile before you both turn back to the fans. 
The End…
Tumblr media
As of right now there is no tag list for Chris, but if any of you would like us to make one we totally can. For now we have decided just to see if any of you like this one.
