Sam and Colby finally decided to return to the Fort East Martello Museum in Florida to re-visit Robert the Doll. The doll that had caused many problems for them over the course of the last year.

From Sam and his ex of eight years breaking up because she was ready to commit and get married, but he wasn’t. To Colby, Sam’s best friend and YouTube partner, getting testicular cancer—and thankfully beating it—along with many more minor issues. This all being because they disobeyed the rules regarding visiting Robert the Haunted doll; taking photos and filming him without Robert the Doll’s permission.

So, now they’re back to apologize. Or at least, Colby was. Sam on the other hand, had naive other plans.

Recently, and especially after his breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Sam had been having some issues regarding his religious beliefs about the afterlife. He started to push limits more than usual, having a carnal, desperate desire to prove something to himself—to prove to himself that there was something to have hope in after death.

Hence why you’re back at the museum in Florida. After Colby had gone to privately and sincerely apologize to Robert the Doll, Sam had gone behind Colby’s back and taken a photo of Robert; since his ultimate goal was to take photos of all three haunted dolls they were visiting in the duration of their next video.

Now you all three sat in the car after Sam admitted to taking the photo, to Colby—who wasn’t happy about it at all. They sat up front in the car, having a long conversation about Sam’s actions.

Colby was very calm when talking to Sam about it—he wasn’t mad, he was just disappointed. “You’ve done this countless times before, Sam. At the conjuring house—you went off into the basement and we had a long conversation about that, and you just.. continue to go behind my back and do this stuff.” Colby admits.

Sam sat there in silence for a moment, the weight of Colby’s words sinking in. “Well, I’m.. I’m trying to do this because it’s literally the point of the channel, it’s why we started it, y’know?” He swallows thickly. “The Queen Mary? I still think about that all the time.”

Colby sighs deeply, “I understand that—I get that. But, like.. when it involves putting your best friend in danger..? Like taking a picture of Robert—like.. why don’t you just tell me these things so that we can figure this out together? I don’t understand..”

Sam inhales deeply and shakily, he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes, his throat tightening up. “We talked about this today, and.. not to get like—super personal with you guys,” He starts, speaking more so to the camera recording them. “You know, more than anything, I need this.. especially after what happened last year.”

Colby nods a little, “I understand..”

Sam’s voice starts to waver as he continues, “One, it’s the point of the God dang channel, second.. this is an opportunity I feel like could prove it to me. Like I-I need this, but I also think, like, the world needs this.”

Colby takes a deep breath, “Like you said.. the world doesn’t need this, you are the one that thinks you need this. But it doesn’t mean that you have to drag me into it, and like.. I don’t want to be put in danger.. for that. It-it’s like.. a selfish thing to do.”

Sam inhales deeply, before speaking again. “Isn’t this what we want? To prove things to the world?”

Colby just glances at him, before continuing. “I think it’s what you want. You just want to prove it to yourself—like, we always talk about Sam and Colby versus the world, but right now.. it feels like it’s Sam versus himself. I just.. don’t understand why you don’t drag me in—like, let me in and let me help..” Sam could feel the tears starting to spill over, “You know why. We’re on different sides of this coin, man.. you believe—you’ve always believed. And for some reason, no matter what we get, I can’t fucking—I can’t fucking accept it.” He sniffles, glancing over at Colby, before abruptly cutting the camera off.
