Living in L.A // Dream LA boys

• Chapter One •

                                  Valentine's pov

    "Val, its time to wake up, you and the girls move to LA today" my mom shouts at me from the kitchen of our apartment. Its about seven am, and I'm wide awake already. Today my best friends an I move to LA for the summer. Im mostly going because my best friend Bryan lives there with his buddies, who are hella cute must I add.

    "Coming mamma" I replied. I love my mom so much, like this lady is letting me move to LA with all my girls to stay in a house full of hot fucking guys. Bryan is obviously my best friend and we have known each other since we were in diapers. Chris his younger brother, is also one of my best friends.

"Do you have all of your things packed love?" I hear my mom ask me from my door way. "Yeah mamma, just have to go tie up a few loose ends" I tell her referring to my boyfriend Eli. Eli and I have been together for three years, ever since Bryan and Chris left. We were all in the same group, inseparable. Once they dipped to LA to live their dreams, Eli and I got closer and he asked me out, so of course i said yes.

Eli has made me super happy, but I could never put aside the pit in my stomach telling me it wasn't right.

There were nights when I dreamt that I was in the arms of someone else, but i could never see his face, so I never knew who they were. I hate talking about my meaningless dreams.

"Alright sweetie, tell Eli I say hello" my mother says as she pats my head in a comforting manner. She always does that, it makes me feel like I'm a child. Im literally 18.

    I make my way to the door and grab the keys to my tiffany blue Jeep Wrangler convertible. I bought it myself for my 18th birthday after saving up for three years. I worked two jobs just to save up the money to get it.

    After I hop in, I drive the ten minutes to Eli's house. The drive is agonizingly long. I anticipated being in his arms one last time for a couple of months. Im pretty sure we will break up while I'm away. I don't want him to be wondering what I'm always doing. I want him to keep his options open. I don't think I could handle hurting him if i did something while I was in LA.

    I pulled into the driveway of the white house with roses lining the sidewalk to the door. Eli's mom was always so content on making their house the prettiest in the neighborhood, and it was. I walked up to the door and knocked. Annabelle, Eli's younger sister answered the door. "Hi Vally, are you here to say bye to Eli?" She asked me. "Sadly I am Annie, Im going to miss you munchkin." As much as I hated saying goodbye I had to.

    "Oh hello love" Sarah, Eli's mom walks to the door just as I walk into the house. "Hey Sarah, Im just here to say goodbye to you all" I tell her slightly frowning. She nods her head and hugs me tight. As I leave her grip she kisses my head "good luck in LA, stay safe" she tells me. "I will, I promise."

    I walk up the stairs to Eli's room. I knock on the door and walk in. I spot him lying on his bed with his earbuds in jamming out to some music. "Eliiiiii" I holler as I jump onto his bed. "Hey Vals" he tells me as he kisses my temple. "I leave in an hour to LA, my flight is in three hours" I whisper sadly. "I know Val, I'm proud of you for pursuing this dream, make sure Bryan takes care of you for me. We should probably do this now and get it over with" Eli tells me slowly while playing with my hair. Something I love that he does.

    "Im just going to rip off the bandage, Eli, I think we should break up. I love you I do, but this long distance thing won't work. And to be completely honest, I think we both knew this would never work out in our favor" I spit out rapidly while I'm slightly crying. "Hey, dont cry baby, I know this is whats best for us." Eli tells me slowly, he gets up and guides me to the front door.
