"Im Sam and this is my best friend Colby. We were just on the way back to our hotel from the Penhurst Asylum." The blonde haired boy explained as they washed up. I called over Nathan and Ricky who knew a lot about cars to fix their car but they wouldn't be here for another hour. Once they finished washing up we headed to the living room.

"Penhurst? Why were you there? Thats a scary place." Chris loved going there and experiencing the ghosts. I was always to chicken to go.

"We were filming a video for our YouTube channel." Colby said. Looking at my laptop screen. I didn't pay much attention to it.

"YouTubers huh? Sounds fun." I always thought of starting a vlog channel for when we are on tour but never gotten around to it.

"What is it that you do?" Sam asked also looking at my laptop discreetly. I looked around at my records on the wall. As if it wasnt obvious.

"Im in a band called the Skeletons." Both thier eyes go wide. They seemed surprised. I just chuckled and leaned back nonchalantly putting my arms over the back of the couch.

"Thats so cool." They both said at the same time and laughed about it. We talked for a bit, they told me some of their crazy youtube stories while i told some of my tour stories. After awhile, Colby pointed to my laptop.

"L.A.? You thinking of visiting there?" I looked at him then down at the floor. Can i tell two strangers i just met my whole debacle with Andy? Why not?

"Im thinking of moving there actually but im not sure." Colby looked like he wanted to know more.

"Why not? L.A. is such a good place. We moved there from Kansas to start our YouTube career. We always dreamed of going there and it came true and we love it." I smiled. They had the same dream as me only they got to fulfill it.

"Ive always dreamed of going there. Even when i lived in Ohio. I was going to move there but things happened and i ended up here. Dont get me wrong. This place isn't bad. I have a life here and amazing friends but... I don't know." The battle in my mind goes on and i dont know what to choose.

"Theres something else holding you back. Ive seen that look before with some of our friends." Sam said. I looked at him, he seemed to care and wanted to let me know hes here for me even though i just met him.

"Yeah there is. My uh.... The love of my life lives in L.A. We used to be in a band together we started in Ohio. Things happened between us and i left. He went on to live our dreams while i started a new band and moved here. Now after 7 years hes back in my life. Hes there and I'm here. But i have a life here and friends and a band. How can i give up my career for someone i loved all my life?" It felt weird saying it to other people but good at the same time. I didnt care if they judged me because they get judged themselves. After all they are YouTubers.

"I'd say follow your heart. Go live tour dreams and be with the people you want. No sense of living a life of misery when you passed up a good outcome." Sam said like he was a therapist. It was like the gods sent these two to me. Hes right. It doesn't matter if i have a band or a life here if im not happy doing so. I could kiss these two.

Nathan and Ricky arrived and fixed their car in no time. Soon enough they were ready to go. "Heres my number. We will be in Pennsylvania for another week so feel free to call us and let us help you pack." Colby said handing me a card that had his number sprawled on it. I smiled as they walked to their car.

Maybe they were right. I need to follow my dreams. Follow my heart. Sure there will we consequences and i might lose a few friends but Sam and Colby were right. I need to do this. My whole life ive dreamed of moving to L.A. and being with Andy and i passed up the opportunity once. Im not going to shove it aside anymore. Heres to a new chapter in my life.
