All Because of You | CB

Chapter 12 - If Walls Could Talk

"No you're good, you don't need to uh- apologize." It was Colby. The person I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of. "Actually, I'd like you to meet someone. You know, before he gets a little tipsy and introduces himself."

Colby looked over at the guy standing next to him, still blocking the way for me to go upstairs. "Hey!" The guy lightly punched Colby's arm and smiled.

"Anyway." He turned back to me, "Is it Vivian?" He was joking with me but apparently I wasn't catching on.

"Violet." I rolled my eyes and corrected him as I crossed my arms over the front of my body.

"I know, I was just joking around with you. This is Brennen." I was going to put my hand out to shake his hand, but apparently 'Brennen' was more of the hugger type of guy, "Nice shirt."

"Nice to meet you, and thanks." Funny, Brennen and I were both wearing 'Misfits' t-shirts. Except I had thigh highs on, and he had red plaid pants with army boots. I was trying to motion to Colby that I wanted to go upstairs, but honestly I just wanted to break the awkwardness. This wasn't how I wanted to get to know him either.

"Yeah, uh, anyway-" Colby tried to speak but Brennen cut him off, "We'll see you down here later." Brennen winked at me as  they walked away.

Nice one. That was extremely awkward. But that Brennen guys seems pretty chill, he's kinda cute too. Everyone here is cute, I'll start going boy crazy over this. But at the moment, that's not what I needed.

I just made a quick trip upstairs. I re adjusted my choker and added a chain and lock necklace to give off more of a "don't mess with me" vibe. But at the same time I was shy and I wanted people to stay away. However, the whole party was thrown for me. I reapplied perfume, adjusted my thigh highs and made my way back downstairs.

Now the house was really filling up with people. I couldn't really find anybody that I knew, but I had to push through people just to get to the kitchen. Honestly, Los Angeles is a huge mess right now. This is my second day and they're already throwing a rager party and I barely know anyone, literally. Including the people that live in here in the Traphouse.

I saw Devyn in the distance with a wine glass outside talking to some people that looked unfamiliar to me. Ah, who I was kidding? Almost everyone was unfamiliar to me. I tried to scoot through the people blocking the entrance. I was almost impossible to find in the crowd too. I'm only about five feet tall and done growing.

My attention turned towards the kitchen before I made it outside. There I saw Colby and Brennen taking shots. I thought about going over, but I'd be much safer going by Devyn.

"Hey!" I snuck up behind her, she almost spilled her wine in the grass. "Ah! Hi Violet. Your outfit is such a statement piece for you, I love it."

I blushed, there was a lot of people around even outside, "Aw thank you."

"Of course. Also, I'd like you to meet some more people who frequently drop by. Violet this is Xepher and Mike."

They both greeted me with a hello, as I did the same. Wow, everyone looked so good. But they've done this plenty of times before, I'm sure.

I still felt really awkward. I just stood into their conversation for about thirty seconds and then excused myself to go get a drink from the garage.

When I came back inside, the song 'If I cant have you' by Shawn Mendes was playing. I was pushing myself through the crowd towards the garage door right as Sam grabbed my arm, "Hey. Come here for a second." He dragged me onto the kitchen counter. Luckily Colby and Brennen weren't sitting there anymore.

Somehow there was a spotlight or something. They must've kept it at the Traphouse if it was theirs. Or they rented it. I tried to open my eyes with the bright light shinning on Sam and I. I noticed Colby in the crowd. We made eye contact. But honestly, who isn't looking at me in this moment?

Sam also somehow had a microphone. Okay, they had to have rented this stuff from like a party store or something. "Hey guys, I know the party is just beginning but I'd like to show you the reason why tonight."

Everyone was staring at me. Sam turned towards me, "We have a new member of the Traphouse. Her name is Violet, aka Corey's best friend from Florida. Give her a warm welcome to L.A.!"

Everyone was cheering and whistling. I had no idea that Sam was going to do this. He seemed like he already had a little bit to drink, but now everyone knew who I was. The spotlight shut off, and I jumped carefully off of the counter. I almost fell because the heels to my thigh highs were so small.

Author's Note:

This just seems like a random chapter but I think I have some stuff planned. I don't know if this is the last chapter I'll post for tonight. It might be, but Idk. You'll see when I update in the conversation area of my profile.
