Lost Without You (A Team Starkid Fanfic)

Chapter 15

I don't own Team Starkid or any of their work. <3

Too too soon graduation came. Everybody cried even the guys because it was sad. Our friends were beginning a new chapter of their lives and we didn't know if we would ever see them again. I mean, we have phones but when you try to keep in touch, how often does it work?

We had recorded an album for the show previously and Matt handed them out to all of us which just encouraged more tears. I'm not sure if it was purely from the prospect of separation or some of it was having to hear our own voices.

Lauren and Julia were moving to New York, my former place of residency. Meredith was moving to Chicago with Denise. For a while, the girls of our small theatre group just held on to each other crying. I, as a nomad when school's not in session, promised to visit each of them in turn.

Most of the guys were either going to New York, or going home or L.A. bound. Darren and Dylan were heading for L.A. to meet up with the other guys. I gave them a huge hug each, nearly attaching myself to Darren.

"Don't worry Bird Girl." He hugged me back. "We're big boys now."

"Yes, but I call you Crisis for a reason." He gave a weak laugh. "You bet I'll be there to visit." He gave me a brotherly peck on the cheek.

A lot of my friends gave me offers/demands for me to stay with them for at least part of the summer. Meredith wanted me to come to Chicago; her parents wanted me in Michigan. My, what I'll call my L.A. brothers wanted me out there for a bit. Julia and Lo wanted me in NYC and Jaime wanted me to go with her to her mom's there too. Devin's pushing me to go to Atlanta. Joey said he'll force me to stay with him and his parents for at least a week.

First I started out at Meredith's parents. She was there at that time so they let me stay. One day, my phone buzzes and I didn't think anything out of the ordinary because I talked to Joey a lot but it was Brian Holden.

"Hello?"

"Hey Charlotte. Where are you now?"

"I'm sitting in a bedroom with Meredith staring at me." She blushes.

"Okay so we were going to make DVDs but their too expensive."

"What are we gonna do now?" I ask as Meredith leans in listening.

"Put it on YouTube. It's easier and a lot cheaper."

"Okay so thanks for calling me about this. Have fun, I'll see y'all soon."

"Bye." We hang up.

That was the start. That day Meredith and I pull it up on YouTube to watch it. She was so happy about it but I cringed every time my face appeared on screen. Besides that, Harry Potter the Musical was great. The next day I'm supposed to fly out to L.A. to hang with the guys then move down to Joey's afterwards so I fall asleep quickly.

I'm awoken by a very excited Meredith who already has the laptop on. "Look at this!"

I cover my mouth. "Oh My God. How?"

She shrugs but I snatch up my phone and call Joey. "We just blew up YouTube!"

"Grab a fire extinguisher," came the tired reply.

"No! Our musical!"

He perked up fast. "I'll call Darren and the guys. You call some of the other girls."

"On it." I phone Dev as Meredith calls Lauren and Julia. Then I phone Jaime and Mer calls Jim. Telling them to all spread it around, we were sure everyone would find out. A few hours later, the Stepiens drop me off at the airport and as I'm sitting at my gate, my phone buzzes/ rings.
