If The Key Fits (A Collins Key fanfiction)

One Call Away

*a few days later*
I sit at the bar watching my mom cook. "So... the Skype call is tonight?" I nod. "Yes." She turns around smiling slightly. "You don't sound to enthused." I sigh. "It's just crazy how I win a contest and all i get back is hate. Almost every comment on my videos are hate now." She turns around handing me a plate. "You can't be so sensitive dear. I know it's tough with all the new attention on you. Hate is to come with that." I nod. "I know. Thanks mom." I smile eating my dinner. She pats my arm. "I'm going to work. You two will be okay here?" I nod to her. She grabs her bowl of pasta and bags walking out the door. "Matt food is ready!" My brother come rushing down the stairs fixing a plate. I finish my plate and walk back upstairs. I look down at my phone. 5pm. At 8 Collins is Skyping me. I lay on my bed. I look at my video feed back. Still a lot of hate. But it's slowly easing off. I try to get my video edited for tomorrow. I look down at my clock. 7:39. I gasp running to the bathroom. I totally lost track of time! It is going to take ages to fix my hair. Pony tail it is! I pull it back and change my shirt. I look in the mirror. I look like I'm homeless! I lay back on my bed. My computer lights up. I open it to see my Skype being called. The name? COLLINS KEY. He's almost seven minutes early! I sit up and put my computer in my lap. Act natural Rae! I answer the call smiling.

C: Hey!
R: Hey!
D: How are you?
R: I'm great! Been excited to speak to you two. What about y'all?
C: Y'all? You are from the South!
R *laughs* Yes. Yes I am.
D: So do you have any questions?
C: Yeah anything! We can answer it!
R: How do you deal with the hate?
C: Wait. You've been getting hate?
R: A little! But nothing too much.
D: Just ignore it. I've been told so many bad things, but you just have to brush it off!

Collins nods but seems deep in thought. We are on Skype until it's midnight here. We say our goodbyes and promise to do this again. They gave me great tips on youtube and video ideas. They were so nice and genuine! I lay in bed replaying the whole call in my head. I try to get some rest but I find it almost impossible. I grab my phone and see I have a Twitter notification. Collins favorited my new video tweet. I send out a tweet. "Great night talking with @collinskey and @devankey on Skype." I then send another, "Not sure if I'll do a full video on it. But I'll talk about it fs!" Collins sends out a random tweet. "CRUSHING ❤" I smile at the tweet wishing he was talking about me. But I know he's not! What if i was able to go to California to meet him? My family never takes vacations so I know it won't happen. I dm Collins and Devan in a group message. "Hey I just wanted to say sorry if our call was boring. Lol I got pretty shy. But thanks again for the opportunity to meet you both! It was absolutely amazing!" I lock my phone for the night and lay it on the bed side table.

I wake up the next morning to my phone buzzing. I groan answering it. "Hello?" "You should really hide your number better." I wake up immediately. "Who is this?" "The boogy man. Who do you think?" "But, but how did you get my number?" "Searched a little." I laugh. "Ok well did you just call for fun?" He laughs. His laugh... "Well no. I mean yes. Look I was wanting to know if you would like to meet. You know... in person." I smile. "Well of course! But I didn't get that part of the contest." "I'll be in Texas and I was thinking I could maybe come and meet you." I pause. Half way in shock, half way controlling my inner scream. "RaeAnn we don't have to. I was just-" I cut him off. "No, no I do! When are you coming?" "About a week. This is my number. We can text about it yeah?" "Yeah, Yeah! That sounds good!" "Well I'll  let you get back to sleep." I laugh of embarrassment. We hang up and I can't stop smiling from ear to ear. I get to meet Collins. I have his number. He looked MY number up. Wait... HOW DID HE FIND IT!?
