!TW: Mentions of smoking, fire, and cussing!
"Kawaii~Chan, who's there at the door?" I asked. I walked downstairs and smiled. "Hey, Travis!"
"Hi, Violet. I came over to meet everyone," he said, with a smile.
"Cool!" I said. I was about to head back upstairs when Katelyn came out of the kitchen.
"Um….who is this guy? Kawaii~Chan, you can't keep inviting people in!" she said, clearly annoyed.
"Oh, don't worry, Kawaii~Chan. I'll handle this," Travis said, putting on his flirting expression. Great, he's dead, I thought. Anybody who tries to flirt with Katelyn instantly regrets it.
"My name is Travis. I didn't know what love was up until the moment I saw you. Agh!"
Travis fell to the floor groaning. I ran to him and helped him up but he was still clutching his chest where Katelyn had punched him.
"I also bet you didn't know what pain was until I-"
"Katelyn~Sama, that's not nice! Travis has a broken heart and needs more chocolate!" Kawaii~Chan said.
"How blind are you, Kawaii~Chan? He's just trying to smooth talk you!" Katelyn yelled.
"How do you know?" Kawaii~Chan asked.
"Did you see how he came up to me? Why are you being so nice to him, anyway?"
"Because he's on the swim team with Reese~Senpai and I've seen him hanging with Reese~Senpai before!" Kawaii~Chan yelled. She sighed, "Travis~Kun has a ton of puppies he was watching and Reese~Senpai was playing with the puppies and he looked so handsome with all those puppies! Hehehe! Kawaii~Chan has pictures."
"Kawaii~Chan, that's creepy!" I said.
"I never met you till now. How do you know this about me?" Travis asked.
"Kawaii~Chan just knows," Kawaii~Chan said, looking at the floor.
"She's weird and hides in the bushes with her camera," Katelyn said with a smirk.
"Katelyn~Sama! You weren't supposed to say anything!" Kawaii~Chan yelled.
"Determined girl. I like that," Travis said with a smile.
" Don't encourage her," I muttered, glaring at Travis.
"Great, now there are four weird people in the house," Katelyn groaned.
"Katelyn, you shouldn't call Aphmau weird. She's between weird and quirky," I said.
"No, not her. The person she's with," Katelyn said, angrily.
"Huh?" Travis, Kawaii~Chan, and I said, simultaneously.
"Me? Friends with…Zane?" I asked, looking over Aphmau's shoulder. He was standing there awkwardly. "You do know what he was like back in high school, right? He would try to hang out with those bitches Sasha, Zenix, and Gene. Those Shadow Knights were bad news. And then he had his own Jury gang. Why are you even friends with him?"
"He's changed, Violet. He's not the same guy as in high school. He's sweet and you should give him a chance! No one else will!" Aphmau begged.
I looked at Zane again. He did look rather lonely. I sighed. "Why do I have to be a nice person? Fine. I'll give him a chance. But, don't expect me to instantly be his bestie, okay? I'm going to go take a nap. I'll try to talk with him later or something."
"Thanks, Vi! Trust me, you'll learn to love him!" Aphmau said before running back to Zane.
"Highly doubt it," I muttered as I walked upstairs.
I went to my attic room and flopped down on the bed. I sighed. "High school," I whispered to myself. I buried my face in my pillow as I tried to fight back the memories but of course, I couldn't.
I got up and went to the closet. I pulled out an old orange hoodie. "He would think I'm psychotic if he knew," I muttered. Daniel's old jacket. As I slipped it on over my shoulders I thought about all those years ago.
We had just finished a date and I had gotten cold on the way home. He had given me his jacket. When we arrived at my house, I tried to return it but he told me to give it back to him later. The next time I saw him, I forgot to give it back. And after that…we weren't together anymore.
I sat on my bed and started chewing on the strings. I played with the broken zipper. I remembered the time he got stuck in the jacket and I had had to pull so hard to get that stupid zipper to move.
The cigarette burns caught my eye. Daniel had only tried smoking once, after he thought it would make him look cool. It hadn't gone well.
As I thought more about Daniel, my eyes welled up with tears. "Mother of Irene. Violet, you're hopeless. It hurts you but you still have it! But…it makes me feel closer to him."
I curled up in my bed and sobbed. I left the hoodie on and soon enough fell asleep with it on. My dreams were filled with images of Daniel's face.
I woke up a while later and smelled…smoke? I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. The kitchen was on fire and Travis and Kawaii~Chan were freaking out.
"What the-? Why is the kitchen on fire?" I yelled.
"I'm sorry, Violet~Chan!" Kawaii~Chan sobbed.
"Thanks, but we need to get out of here!" I said. I grabbed Travis as he inhaled a huge plume of smoke and started to cough. We ran to Katelyn, who was out in the front yard.
"I called the fire department. They should be here soon," she said. She looked at the orange jacket. "Where'd you get the hoodie?"
"That's not important!" I yelled, trying to hold up Travis as he continued to try to cough up his lungs.
"What's wrong with him?" Katelyn asked.
"Smoke inhalation! What do you think?" I screamed.
Travis gasped between coughs. He managed to look at Katelyn and smile. "Hey Katelyn, *cough* you're *cough* beautiful."
"Shut up," Katelyn snapped, though she did have a slight blush.
"God, Travis. Now of all times?!" I yelled as I desperately tried to hold him up as he started to retch. "I swear if you throw up on me I will kill you."
"Too late," Travis moaned, right before puking all over me.
"TRAVIS!"
Poor Travis. So, if you know the song Hoodie by Hey Violet, then you probably noticed the references. I love the song and the band is literally named Hey Violet so obviously I had to do something with it. i hoped you liked the chapter! Make sure to review, follow, and favorite! I would mean so much to me. Bye!

Today's song is (obviously) Hoodie by Hey Violet:
You'd probably think I was psychotic (if you knew)
What I still got in my closet (sad but true)
I slip it on over my shoulders
Something I'll never get over
It makes me feel a little bit closer to you
I can't keep your love
I can't keep your kiss
Gave you everything and all I got was this
I'm still rocking your hoodie
And chewing on the strings
It makes me think about you
So I wear it when I sleep
I kept the broken zipper
And cigarette burns
Still rocking your hoodie
Baby, even though it hurts
Still rocking your
I used to put my hand in your pockets (holding on)
The smell of your cologne is still on it (but you're still gone)
I slip it on over my shoulders
Someone I'll never get over
It makes me feel a little bit closer to you
I can't keep your love
I can't keep your kiss
Gave you everything and all I got was this
I'm still rocking your hoodie
And chewing on the strings
It makes me think about you
So I wear it when I sleep
I kept the broken zipper
And cigarette burns
Still rocking your hoodie
Baby, even though it hurts
Still rocking your hoodie
And chewing on the strings
It makes me think about you
So I wear it when I sleep
I kept the broken zipper
And cigarette burns
Still rocking your hoodie
Baby, even though it hurts
Still rocking your
If you want it back
If you want it back
I'm here waiting
Come take it back
Come take it back
If you want it back
If you want it back
I'm here waiting
Come take it back
Come take it back
I'm still rocking your hoodie
And chewing on the strings
It makes me think about you
So I wear it when I sleep
I kept the broken zipper
And cigarette burns
Still rocking your hoodie
Baby, even though it hurts
I'm still rocking your hoodie
And chewing on the strings
It makes me think about you
So I wear it when I sleep
I kept the broken zipper
And cigarette burns
Still rocking your hoodie
Baby, even though it hurts
Still rocking your hoodie
And chewing on the strings
It makes me think about you
So I wear it when I sleep
I kept the broken zipper
And cigarette burns
Still rocking your hoodie
Baby, even though it hurts
Still rocking your hoodie
