(Christina's POV)
"I'll be just fine nick don't worry!"
I laugh at how cute my brother is when he cries.
"I just don't want you to go"
He says with a half smile.
After taking firm grip of his hand I assure him.
"You're always welcome to visit me and hey, you better send some ideas my way, don't ever think you're not my favorite songwriter big bro"
I give him a hug, a long one.
Nick smiles passionately.
"Well, I guess this is growing up."
He says while wiping the last few tears away. I grab my scarf and last bag which is the one containing my acoustic Taylor 614ce. It was a gift from nick on my 14th birthday. A very, very expensive one too, but I've taken the best care of its all black finish and tuning pegs. My day gets better when I see my chubby cute french bulldog Lexi starts running after me
"I can't forget you!"
My arm lifts her up against my chest.
I step out of the door and kiss him on his right cheek. The one that used to be soft and kinda pudgy is now strong and covered in stubble.
"I love you nick, take care"
-Lexi burps-
The car starts and I'm on my way.
...
I'm Christina perri, I just turned 18 and just dropped out of Blair high school. I'm a songwriter with plenty of tattoos, I got my first when I was 15 because nick got one and I love nick So I got one too! Although I have too many to explain to you I'll leave it at they are all just me things. I love penguins and I recently just cut almost all of my hair off too. I love it. The last few years was spent living with my brother who is the most rad guitarist and writing songs with him, laughing and watching spongebob... I can't believe that's all over.
Oh shut up Christina you're only moving like across town!
My conscience barks. Which was true for an acceptable reason. Theres a chance that nobody will ever hear my music and I'll have to go to college, Pasadena community college, get a job and live a normal life...
Ew
The idea of college is a nice one sometimes but I need to handle my music career I have to, it's what I love and i will do it. Wow I'm already here. I grab Lexi, my guitar and head upstairs.
...
The sun was going down as I stepped into my new little apartment. It's a cute one bedroom a few blocks away from Blair but awfully close to the community college. Nick helped me move in so all my things were here. Which wasn't a lot. A couch, TV my playstation 4, the place of my relaxation and where I Netflix and chill with myself for hours and hours. I had my guitar, my bed and my clothes in my room that range from girly to alternative. I dont know how to describe what I wear, maybe jeans and long sleeved shirts. I do look like a nerd a lot of the time.
I have many boxes of lucky charms cause they're my favorite, I have different fruits and enough cheese and tortillas to make billions of cheese quesadillas. You know what. That sounds good I'm gonna make a few. I slap some cheese and tortilla together and decide to text nick while it heats up...
Me: Hey bro, 8===D~~
Nick: I love you too sis
The quesadillas were done and on a plate when a loud quick pattern of knocks hit my door. I walked over and carefully opened it, a very pretty girl who looked a little younger than me, sporting Coldplay wristbands and a viva la vida shirt stuck her hand out.
"Hey! I'm Allison!"
She was dorky, like me.
"What's up man!"
I shook her hand.
"I've seen you two or three times moving in and I couldn't wait to meet you."
She was really excited.
"Well I can heat up a sweet fucking quesadilla, do you want one?"
Her eyes were wide and she was almost drooling.
"YES PLEASE!"
I laughed as I brought her in and sat down with her at the table, we started to talk while we ate.
"What's your story cutie?"
I giggled
"Well I'm from Florida, I skipped two grades and now I'm going to PCC (community college), In my free time I play piano, and as you might've been able to tell I love Coldplay"
This was a nice girl.
"Coldplay is awesome man, Chris Martin is a dork.. Have you ever seen him dance?"
I question but Allison responds like lightning
"Have you ever seen my camera roll?" She smirks while holding her phone up.
"It's like porn but it's Coldplay porn" We both laugh for being so weird.
For a while after eating we played with Lexi, talked about food and school. Then she asked me a question
"Can you play a song for me on your guitar... Please?"
I hesitated because I'm a little shy, but I responded
"I'm not used to singing in front of anybody that's not my brother but sure."
I smile about it and continue to take out my guitar, tune it and breathe..
What song
What song
What song Ugh... I know
"I wrote this song the first time I fell In love, It's called miles"
Allison sat there with watery eyes as I finished the song
I Promise to come home to you
Remind me that I'm older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the
I love you's
"That was really cool.. Like I dont know what to say"
She was touched
"Well thanks for listening. You're awesome Allison"
I gave her a hug, talked a little bit more and she was off to her apartment exactly 20 feet away.
...
Me: Hey Allison thanks for the number oh and by the way
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Allison: SO INTENSE! Hehe well I'm gonna sleep. Goodnight Chrissy X
Chrissy.. I kinda like that
...
Just so you know Christina and Tom are not famous here and they're young but in present day so we have stuff like Netflix and chill.. I hope that'll be the last time I use that term. Tom looks like the TYPAJ 2001 Tom. And Christina has her cute short hair. That'll be all. Well yeah I'm gonna update pretty often and once more people start reading I'll probably make super dooper quality 30 page chapters once a week.
Love You Babes - Hilton X
