Ever Arnolds; how my life got completely flipped upside down.

Back in Hawaii

Linsey had promised that she would come and visit when she could. She had been asked by a Broadway director to understudy Cinderella on Broadway.

Ray had been living in Pennsylvania and said if he was ever in New York, he would be sure to hit us up.

As for me and Jared. We had talked to the producers. They wanted us to be signed as a duo, but understood if we both wanted solo careers. We had a lot of options. Go right into a duo career, go right into solo careers, wait a year or two before we start, but still be signed, try solo careers and then decide if we want to be a duo. Be in a duo group and then break away from that.

We had decided we would try to work together in the studio and see if it worked out. I would be moving to New York in two days. Permanently.

I didn't really want to leave my friends in Hawaii, but this is what I always wanted to do. The hardest person to leave, although we hadn't talked since the Skype call, was Callan.

I wish I could be with him, and still do this, but we weren't even together so I don't know why I'm so peeved about leaving.

My room was a mess. Since I only had a week to pack up, all my roommates were helping me pack up. Currently I had a weeks worth of clothes in a suitcase, everything else was packed up. My room just had piles of boxes. All that was left was my bed with just some sheets and a blanket that were already here when I arrived. All my pictures and books were packed away.

There were still two months of school so of course, I had to drop out. So for this past week, I've been staying at home reading on the balcony while everyone, including Callan went to school.

I was sitting on the balcony today, with a root beer and my book and sunglasses staring at the ocean. I was going to miss this.

"Mind if I join you?" I heard someone ask. I looked over and saw Callan. I felt my throat tighten and I couldn't get any words out. I nodded. He stepped over the edge of the balcony and onto mine and sat down next to me. "So you're moving to New York."

"In two days."

"You still owe me two dollars, Love."

"I can't believe you still remember that."

"Yes well since I haven't had much to do since we broke up I have resorted to reminiscing about the days when I was happy."

"That sounds very depressing."

"Well, Miss Popstar, it has been rather depressing since we split. And since I vowed to give up, that's all I've had to do."

"Why didn't you go back to having that alternating fifth roommate?"

"Well I didn't really find anyone I would have wanted to be with. I didn't really have any motivation to try."

"Yeah," I said awkwardly.

"I don't know how many times I've said it, but I am such a fuck up for messing things up."

"I should have just tried to work things out."

"I am really sorry."

"So am I."

"But you're moving away in two days."

"Yep."

"I'd be lying if I said I am not gonna miss you."

"Same."

"And I don't like Jared."

"Well, that's not really your problem now is it?"

"I suppose not," he chuckled.

"So what are your life goals?"

"I don't know yet."

"Same."

"Well you have your path basically paved for you, superstar."

"I still actually have to sell albums. The record label can drop me if I'm not making them money."

"Although I want you to succeed, would you move back here if you didn't?"

"I don't know. I mean I really like New York. And I'm not rushing towards any other profession so maybe I could travel."

"That would be fun."

We sort of just talked weather chatter from then on. For like an hour or two.

"Well I'm moving back to my other room. So I have to go," he said.

"If you need help let me know," I said. He grinned a little and then walked away.

A/N

Hey guys I know this chapter was short and sweet.

Unfortunately I think that this story will be over in two or three chapters.

Next chapter is pretty much the end but there might be some extra epilogue chapters.

I'm debating maybe making a spinoff novella or two. The titles would be

Callan Matthews; the girl who flipped my life upside down.

Basically Callan's perspective from the concert and on.

And

Ever Arnolds; the baby who flipped my life upside down

Thoughts?
