Cherry || Owen Joyner

fourteen

"Owen?" I squeal. I run over towards to him. I can't believe that he's here. I wrap my arms around him to make sure he's actually here.

"What am I? Chopped shit?" Charlie told me causing me to let go. They were all here. Charlie, Jeremy, Owen, and Jeremy's wife.

I was completely shocked. "What are you doing here?" I ask the three boys. "You told me about your gig three weeks ago." Owen started.

"So I told the boys and we planned it out and flew out here." He's amazing. He did this just for me.

"Thank you so much for coming and surprising me." I look over at Carolynn. She was prettier in person.

"You must be Carolynn." I smile towards her. I go up to her and give her a hug. She gives one back surprisingly.

She seemed super sweet. "I am. You were amazing out there." She compliments. "How long have you been playing?" She asked.

"Thank you. I've been playing since I was little." We talk for a moment while getting to know each other.

"Here. I'll introduce you four to the band." I take them to my band as they talked to my friends. I introduce them to each other.

"And this is my sister, Harley. Main singer and bassist." Everyone looked shocked for a moment which shocked me.

I always thought we looked like each other. Not much but there are similarities. My sister walked up to them and started talking to Jeremy.

He told her how he plays bass as well so they talked about their interest. Charlie, Kilton, Jesse, Nash, and Kira all started talking to each other.

Owen came over to me and wrapped his arm around me. "You were really good tonight." He complimented.

Him coming made my night even better. I was disappointed at first knowing he wasn't here.

But the fact he came and surprised me, made my heart flutter. "Thank you for coming. It really means a lot."

I wrap my arms around him and just hold him in my arms. We stand there for moment, and I'm just feeling grateful.

"Hey Violet?" We heard behind us. It looked like a professional man. He had a button up on with dress pants.

I let go of Owen as my band mates stand next to me. "That's us." Harley spoke for us. "Can I speak to you four in private please?" He asked.

We nodded as we followed him to a private area. I wondered who this was and what he wanted. Once we were alone, we stood in front of him.

"My name is Julian. I'm a producer from Capital Records." My mouth drop in shock. Capital Records is a huge deal.

I look towards my friends to see them in shock as well. "I was wondering if I could sign you guys." We couldn't hide our excitement.

This could be our big chance. "Wait, really?" Kilton asked as Julian nodded his head.

"If you want, we can go through everything tomorrow." He explained.

We all agreed as he nods. "Here's my contact info. Message me and we can meet tomorrow." He handed us his card and walked away.

Once he was out of earshot, we all started screaming. This night couldn't get better.

We had a great performance, Owen surprises me, and we might get signed.

I look over to see our friends looking over. "Is everything okay?" Kira asked looking at us strangely.

"A record producer wants to sign us!" Harley squeals. They all look thrilled as they cheer a long with us.

We all celebrate for a moment. "We have to celebrate!" Charlie smiled. "If you want, we can meet at a bar." I suggest.

Everyone agreed so we planned it out. Nash, Kira, and myself were gonna watch take the boys and Carolynn to the townhouse.

We were gonna change and put their stuff in our town house. Owen, Jeremy, and Carolynn were gonna ride with me knowing I had the room.

"If you two want, I can give up my room so you two can sleep in it." I look at the married couple from the rear view mirror.

Jeremy was shaking his head. "You don't have to do that. If you need to we can get an air mattress." He spoke.

I nodded my head as I drove. I glance over at Owen as I drove, he was looking out the window.

It was like he was admiring everything. And he was glad to be back home. I could see it on his face.

When we get to my townhouse, we had beat Kira, Nash, and Charlie. We walk in as they look at everything.

"It's really nice in here." Carolynn complimented. "Thank you. Do you want a tour?" I ask. They nodded so I started the tour.

It wasn't much but it was fun. After I gave them the tour, I started looking through my closet.

I heard a knock on my door causing me to look. Owen was leaning on the door frame. "So this is your room." He said looking around.

My room is a light gray with a few band posters hanging up. I had a queen sized bed so it would be big enough for the both of us.

"Not as exciting as I thought it was going to be." He joked. I looked at him with my mouth dropped.

"You're seriously an asshole." I laugh as he flops on my bed. "You love me though." He shrugged.

I didn't feel like changing so I flopped on the bed next to him. I look over at his blue eyes and I could feel myself get soft.

He has some kind of an affect on me that I didn't know just yet. Our shoulders were barely touching as we stared in each others eyes.

"I feel like Edward Cullen when he was staring at Bella in the field." He joked while making me smile.

"If you're Edward, can I be Bella?" I ask jokingly. He scrunches his nose towards me. "No, you would be Jacob Black."

I drop my jaw towards him. "I really do hate you." I joke with him. He lightly shakes his head.

"Are we having a party in here?" Charlie asked walking in. I sit up as he closes the door. "No, we were just talking." I tell him.

"Well, we are now. We're gonna pregame." Charlie brought out a bottle of Tito's that looked familiar.

"Did you steal that bottle from my fridge?" I ask the brunette. Owen sat up so he could look at him.

Charlie looked at the bottle, then at me. "Maybe." He shrugged. I just went a long with it as I grabbed my shot glasses.

Us three started pregaming. As we did, Kira walked in to join us.

By the time we were going to leave for the bar, Charlie, Kira, Owen, and myself were already tipsy.

Owen and I were in the backseat, my head on his shoulder. We sat like that the whole ride.

Once at the bar, we started drinking even more. I knew I shouldn't even be drinking. But oh well. I wanna celebrate.

We could be getting signed tomorrow. And I wanna celebrate it with my best friends.

Especially with Owen.
