Courtney's POV:

I gaped at my older brother; was he drunk? Or high? Or both?

Ashley looked at me expectantly, as if the answer to his elite question was easy, simple even. God was he dense.

"So wait, let me get this straight, darling brother. After knowing me for a couple weeks, you expect for me to drop everything here, so I can move in with my older brother? How can I ever trust you, I mean, you left me, what if you leave me again, only I'm stranded in an unknowns city?" I say confidently.

"I'm your older brother. Im leaving ever again, and besides, that was so I could follow my dream. Plus, Gran agrees and actually encourages it, she thinks you moving in with me would bring us even closer. Please, consider it." He begged.

"But Ashy, I would have to drop everything here, my life. I would leave behind my friends, my family, my future. Everything. I can't just make a decision like that in an instant. Give me some time."

Ashley nods, "I understand. But I leave tomorrow, and I want you to come with me. Please consider it sis, I want to be apart of your life, and I can only do that if I we live relatively close together." He explained.

"Alright, I will." I stood up, and kissed my brother's cheek, before heading to my room.

I sigh as I gently shut the door, and lean against it. Could I go through with moving? A new life? New opportunities? I would get to meet by idols, and celebrity crush, but still.... It's incredibly scary. What if he leaves me? And this time, I'd have no one.

But if I ever want to get over it, and move on, give my brother another chance, I have to make a drastic choice, even if it scares the shit out of me.

I opened my closet and pulled out all of my clothes, and threw them on my unmade bed. Grabbing some old cardboard boxes from when I user to make forts with my friends in my youth. I pull books and trinkets off my shelves and start to nearly pack then in the boxes.

---

Two moderately long hours later, my room holds nothing but the remnants of my past childhood, already fading into a distant memory. I zip up my suitcase, and smile at my old room, and prepare myself for my upcoming future, of adulthood, heartbreak, and problems I'd never thought I would ever face.

A knock on my door distracts me from my thoughts, and the door opens to reveal my brother, who widens his eyes at my packed up room. A smile ignites his features.

"I've made up my mind. My answer is yes." I say with a grin.

And for for the first time in my life,I'm confident I'm making the right decision.

And nx that choice turned out to change my life for the better. Because if I didn't move, I'd never meet him, never fall in love, and I wouldn't be where I am now.
