Chapter 2 - It Won't Come Easily

This was crazy to me, how fast things were coming. I was off of work tomorrow and the day after. So my only way to say goodbye to Ethan and Amelia was through text. Shitty, I know right. They're gonna hate me.

-Ethan's POV-

phone notification: *Violet added you and Amelia to a group chat*

I knew something weird that going on with Violet. Like, she always talked about what her life would be like if she moved. That's the only time I really see her glow, emotionally. Any of the other times, she just looks miserable.

*Conversation over Text*

Violet: Hey guys...

Ethan: Hey?

Amelia: What's up girly?

Violet: You guy are gonna hate me for this.

Ethan: We won't ever hate you. Just tell us what's up.

Violet: Well, you guys remember when Corey, my childhood best friend came into Starbucks earlier today right?

Amelia & Ethan: Yeah.

Violet: He offered to transfer me to Los Angeles to live with him and Devyn and his other roommates.

Amelia: That's great! You should go, it's all you ever talk about.

Ethan: Yeah...

Violet: I do really want to go, but I won't get to see you guys like I do every day now.

Amelia: Yeah, I know. But if it really makes you happy, I think you should go.

Ethan: ^^

Violet: Would you guys be okay with that? I mean I don't even get to give you a real goodbye. Corey and Devyn are coming over tomorrow to help me pack really fast and then we are leaving Sunday afternoon.

Ethan: What?? That's crazy.

Violet: I know. I think I'm gonna go though. I haven't seen Corey in forever. I'll just come back with him when they come to visit here in Florida. I promise that I'll come see you.

Ethan: Okay, as long as you promise us.

Amelia: Yeah. We'll miss you.

Violet: I promise. I'll miss you guys. I love you both. But don't forget, we can group FaceTime
still after work and stuff. I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories to tell from Los Angeles.

Nick: *Read*

Amelia: Sounds good, girl. See ya.

*End of Text Conversation*

-Violets POV-

I'm surprised Amelia took it better than I expected. Ethan didn't. I thought they'd be more upset since it's such a last minute thing. Tomorrow's going to be a longer day than it was today.

I went to the bathroom to remove my makeup and put on my pajamas. I crawled into my bed, while putting Grey's Anatomy on the tv. I scrolled through Instagram and checked out who Corey was following to see if I could find the boys the was talking about earlier.

I stumbled across Colby Brock's Instagram and looked through the pictures. Damn, he was cute. His blue hair really stood out amongst the others in group photos but I was into it. He appeared to be single too. I'd previously been looking at Sam's account and I quickly put two and two together. Sam and Colby ran a duo channel on YouTube and posted some crazy ass videos. Man, LA might be crazier than I think it might be.

The alarm clock next to my bed read the time 12:30 a.m. on it. I still felt like a shitty friend because I basically "broke up" with them over text. Which is the worst way to do things. It still came across weird to me that Amelia was so smooth about it. Though, I still felt bad about Ethan. I joked around with him a lot, but he seemed a little crushed about the topic.

I clicked the power button on my phone, shutting off the brightness and set it on my nightstand. I glared at the time once more before I closed my eyes.

Author's Note:

Hi again, this is another short chapter. But I'm trying to build up the story. It may be kinda boring in these first couple parts but I promise it'll be better when Violet finally gets to LA.
