The Contest (cte fanfic)

Chapter 16.

After two hours of being gone from the apartment, I start walking back. I stop at the Panera and grab a drink. I continue walking and start thinking. If Acacia is fine and continues letting me stay there, I should be fine. What do I mean by if? She is a great person so she will probably be perfectly fine. I finally get back to the apartment and I go in. As I start walking up the stairs my heart starts beating faster. I get up to the apartment and I put my hand on the door. I take my hand off and I knock. After a minute I hear someone open the door. I look up and see Acacia staring at me.

"Get your stuff." She says.

I walk inside and go to my room. I start packing and hear someone knock on the door.

"Come in." I say.

David comes in and sits on the bed next to me. I look down and get back up. I continue packing and put music on.
Oh but with my luck, it's a four minute drum cover of The Fallout played by the one and only, Brent Taddie. I shut it off and continue.

"What are you doing?" David asks.

"Uh just packing all of my stuff." I say smiling.

"Why?" He asks.

"She told me to. I assume she doesn't want me to stay with her. I might go buy a plane ticket or something."

"You're coming home?!"

"Maybe. Can you take me to the airport when you guys go?" I ask.

"Sure but you have to tell everyone else. I don't think Acacia wants you to leave though."

"She does. Trust me, and I will. Eventually." I say.

He leaves the room and I lay on my bed. This just isn't my day. I look up at the ceiling and pull my blanket on me. I hear a knock on the door and I groan.

"Come in." I say.

The door knob twists and three faces appear. Andy, and Brandon walk in and sit at the foot of my bed. While Benn lays down next to me.

"What's happening?" Asks Andy.

I shrug and close my eyes.

"You obviously know something." Benn says.

"I do, I know that I'm being kicked out. I know that I'm coming home. I know that she hates me. I knew that none of this would work." I say.

"Wait you're coming home?!" Brandon asks.

"Yeah." I say rolling my eyes.

"But that's happening tonight and I would like to sleep before it all. Wake me up when you guys are leaving please?" I ask.

The bed shifts and everyone except Andy leaves.

"Are you sure you want to go home?" He asks.

"Yeah. What else would I do? I know it sounds really stupid but I miss Brent and my house." I say.

Andy nods and gets up. He leaves and I close my eyes. Only five more hours.

♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪

"Yeah no I-I got all my stuff I'm ready." I say.

"Alright let's go then." Brandon says.

I pick up my bags and start walking out of the apartment. But this is probably for the best right? Internet friendships don't turn into real life friendships well I guess. Yeah but that's okay because I have the people in my life right now that I need. That's all that should matter. I get into the car and we start driving to the airport. After a while we get to the airport. We all go inside and I go to the ticket purchasing area. I start talking to the lady about buying a ticket and she says that thy have one more for that plane. Thank god! I walk over to the area where they are boarding the flight and I give the lady my ticket. She hands it back and I start walking to the plane. Everyone else was already on the plane and if I was lucky I got a seat by one of them. I get onto the plane and look for my seat. I find it and it's one row in front of them. That's not that bad. A guy who looks like he's about my age is in the window seat right next to me. I sit down next to him and I look over at David. He gives me a thumbs up and I roll my eyes. I pull my phone out and go to David's contact.
