All Because of You | CB

Chapter 1 - Reunited

As soon as it was 5:01 p.m. I left work and went home. I couldn't hold back my excitement to talk to Corey again. I immediately threw my keys on the kitchen table and threw myself onto the couch. I opened up Instagram and found Corey's @ and messaged him right away. "Hi Corey!"

It didn't take him much longer to respond. Corey was almost always on top of the things he did, or at least needed to do. "Hey Violet. Here's my number: (123) 456-7890. It'll be much easier to talk there."

"Sounds good." Is this really happening? Or am I just stuck in a lucid dream, 'cause damn. I entered the number into my contacts and sent him a message. "Hey it's Violet." He shortly replied with, "FaceTime us."

Oh god. I was hesitant to do that, I looked awful and absolutely tired from work. But I guess no one cares but myself. Whatever. I pushed the call button.

"Hey!" Corey and Devyn were sitting in their bedroom together at the hotel they were staying in, in Florida.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Funny, I thought I should've been the one to be asked that.

"A lot, actually. Well, you already know that Devyn and I are together. But I moved out to Los Angeles not to long ago actually. I- uh."

I cut Corey off. Los Angeles? This couldn't have been more coincidental, could it? "Los Angeles? That's great! You moved so far away from here. That's all the way across the country." Wow, I'm sure he knew that Vi. I sounded totally stupid saying that.

"Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Funny enough, we don't have a small home either. We live with like four or five other roommates. Sam, Colby, Aaron, Jake and Elton. But Elton has his own place now. There's also two dogs, so there's plenty of things to be occupied there."

"Wow that seems amazing though. Funny, I was planning to move to Los Angeles as soon as I could. You know, to start a real career. But there's things that are stopping me." I sighed but I knew exactly what Corey's next question would end up being.

"And what would that be?" Yup, I guess it. Haha. "Also, you should totally come! If you don't have a place right away, I could talk to the guys about you and ask them if you could stay for a while." I was so overwhelmed by the concept of this, but I was way overexcited at the same time.

"Well, my friends, my family, my job...that I want to quit." I rambled about the things I'd miss. "But you know, you don't have to do that for me either out in Los Angeles. I mean, it would be a dream but it might be weird for a girl to just show up and be like "hey I'm gonna live with you guys." you know?"

"Violet, I know you. You're not random. Everyone will love you, I swear. Devyn and I are going back to Los Angeles in two days. We're gonna help pack your shit, and I'm gonna but you a plane ticket to Los Angeles. You're coming with." Welp, there. He made my decision for me.

"Dude, you guys seriously don't have to do that." Holy shit, there was no way that this was really happening. This was all I've ever wanted, but I'd be leaving Ethan and Amelia and that's gonna make them super upset with me. This is such a last minute thing too.

"Nope, I insist! Devyn and I have a dinner reservation in about a half hour, so we gotta go. But I'm going to come over to help you tomorrow. I assume you still live in your childhood house." I mean, he was right. Oops.

"Yep, have fun. See you later."

"See ya!"

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. What do I tell Amelia? What do I tell Ethan? They have each other, but we've always been the trio. Ugh they're going to be so upset.

Authors Note:

Hi guys! This is just a shorter chapter, oops. I don't really know how this story is going to lay out currently. But, here we go. Is Violet going to go with Corey and Devyn? What's she gonna say to Ethan and Amelia?
