WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!
(Will runs into josh and Jaden's room and jumps on the bed more specifically josh who groans and looks at will)
Josh: you have five seconds to run
Will: AHHH!!! Mom josh is gonna kill me
(Will runs out of the room with josh chasing him while Jaden and Lexie just laugh)
Jaden: ready to get up kiddo? (Looks at Lexie)
Lexie: yeah who's gonna stop josh from killing Will
Jaden: good point
(Jaden and Lexie leave the room only to find josh playfully wrestling with Will on the carpet)
Olivia: morning (smiles)
Lexie: hey (smiles)
Casey: how did you sleep hun?
Lexie: good how about you?
Casey: good but anyway there's oat meal with strawberries so just serve yourself because we have quite a drive before going to pick up the Christmas tree
Olivia: as long as it doesn't turn out like last year we are good
Jaden: what happened last year?
Will: dad kept going the wrong way and we ended up being in the car for six hours instead of two
Josh: (laughs) it was torture but don't worry we'll have the GPS on this time
Derek: it was still fun though
Olivia: being in the car with you for six hours while you refuse to stop and ask for directions and mom just singing Christmas carols is not fun
Derek: it's all part of an adventure much like life
Will: oh no dad's getting philosophical again
Derek: okay I can see when I am not wanted I am just going to get ready and take your mother with me (takes her hand and they walk out of the kitchen)
Josh: don't even think about fucking with us in the house!!!
(Jaden smacks josh gently in the back of his head)
Josh: what was that for?
Jaden: your brother is in the room
Will: my brother's josh you think I don't know these things
Jaden: (face palms) good point Alright let's sit down and eat so we can get ready and go
Lexie: (sighs) okay
Lexie's pov
I sat down at the table while Jaden grabbed two bowls and put the oat meal in them and then handed me a bowl and everyone else served themselves. I told Jaden I could do it on my own but then he said " knowing you your going to serve yourself two spoonfuls and call it breakfast" and he's not wrong... but instead of two it would have been four. Anyways we had all finished eating and went to the room to get ready, today I put on a white long sleeve shirt and layered that with a gray long sleeve and on top of that a black and white plaid long sleeve shirt then I put on a pair of leggings and some skinny jeans over it with some boots, left my hair down and put on Josh's beanie and walked into the kitchen where Jaden and Olivia were already ready and josh was with Will by the sink and had his phone in front so I knew he was recording something.
End of pov
Josh: alright training him young let's hit a shotty with a bubbly and this is only sprite so don't worry guys alright hit it will

Josh: Chug chug chug let's go baby! Let's go!!
(Will finishes it)
Josh: ahhh he's an animal! He's an animal Canadian blood!!
(Will laughs and walks away from the camera)
Josh: he's alright he's a champ
(Casey and Derek walk out of their room)
Olivia: mommm josh was reaching Will how to shot gunnn
Casey: I am so proud (says sarcastically)
Derek: can I try?
Jaden: alright papa Richards going for it
Josh: hell yeah okay let me set my phone up to record

Casey: I am so sorry you have to deal with my son (says in a pretend sympathetic voice)
Lexie: yeah... I don't know how you dealt with him for eighteen years
Olivia: seventeen he moved out already at eighteen
Lexie: lucky you now I am stuck with with

Josh: alright camera's gonna record in 3, 2, 1 alright guys part one was with the bother now we gotta shotty with the dad see what's up (pops the can open and hands it to his dad and then pops his open) so uh cheers
(Josh starts chugging it and derek accidentally breaks the can so most of the beer spills out of the can)
Casey: what did he just do? Are you kidding me with this
(Will looks at them and covers his mouth to stop himself from laughing)
Josh: there's beer everywhere man disappointed
Casey: you both are cleaning that up everyone else in the car let's go I swear I married another kid
(Casey walks out of the kitchen with everyone else following to get in the van and five minutes later Derek and josh get in the van)
Josh: hey babe (sits next to Jaden and pecks him on the lips)
Jaden: hey hottie
(Lexie fake gags)
Lexie: Olivia I think we are going to have to roll down the windows I am gonna hurl
Olivia: right behind you (fake gags)
Will: Jaden and josh sitting in a tree k-I-s-s-I-n-g first comes love then comes the baby which is Lexie I guess
Josh: ay good one (high fives him)
Olivia: (looks at Lexie) well this is my family too late to back out now
Lexie: (laughs and smiles) believe it or not I really like you guys
Olivia: aww I like you too come on let's take some Pics
Lexie: okay
(Lexie and Olivia take some selfies in the car and Will photo bombs one of them)
Olivia: will (she groans)
Will: what? I made the picture better admit it
Lexie: (looks at josh) he's definitely your younger brother
Josh: yes yes he is
(Olivia and lex take a few more pics and then they look through them on Olivia's phone)
Lexie: send them to me Please
Olivia: yeah I got you (sends them to her through text)
Lexie: Jaden can I download insta just to download these pics pleaseee
Jaden: not on your phone but here you can use mine and just sign into your account (Jaden hands her his phone and Lexie grabs it and signs into her account and then looks at Jaden)
Lexie: Jaden why does my account say managed by Jaden and the other Sway boys in the bio?
Jaden: because from now on it is
Lexie: okay but the fans didn't need to know that what the hell Jaden we just talked about how you guys can't be fighting my battles for me and you go and do this shit what else did you guys do?
Josh: don't worry about it post the pics you want and don't even think about looking at the comments and then hand the phone back to Jaden
Lexie: you know you take overprotective to a whole new fucking level (posts a few of the pics and hands Jaden the phone back)
Jaden: language Lexie Marie
Lexie: fine I am sorry I shouldn't have cursed in front of you guys...
Will: you guys act like I don't hear curse words I live with dad and I used to live with josh
Jaden: yeah but she still shouldn't have said it she knows better
(Lexie rolls her eyes and grabs her phone and headphones)
Lexie: Liv you want to listen to music with me?
Olivia: sure (takes a headphone and puts it in her ear)
Lexie's pov
Olivia and I went back and forth changing songs so that we can get to know each other's music taste and I am happy to say that we have pretty similar taste so I was able to recognize whatever song she picked and vice versa. Eventually two hours had passed and we arrived at this Christmas tree place but it allowed you to actually cut whatever tree you chose by yourself so we walked around looking for trees but in all honesty I wasn't really paying attention to the tree I was more focused on what my brother did with my Instagram account because it pisses me off the level of control these boys think they have over me. Like okay fine you don't want me to drink or get high whatever, you want me to be homeschooled so I don't get bullied understandable, you want me to stupid fucking therapy and age play but I draw the line at controlling my Instagram account. Not that I can even have it on my phone but at least it was the one thing that that was mine and now that's being monitored too. Ugh I can't breathe I feel so suffocated! I looked down at the ground as we were walking and I picked up some snow with my glove and made it into a shape of a ball and I threw it in the air and then just watched it fall back into the ice into crushed pieces of snow. You would never know it was a snow ball because it was just well snow. I wonder if I was still living in Tennessee if things would have never changed, no one would have known or cared about my secrets... no one would have known the struggles and I could have still lived in my bubble. I felt a piece of snow hit my shoulder taking me out of my train of thoughts.
End of pov
Lexie: what?
Josh: you were spacing out again
Lexie: oops sorry did we pick a tree?
Will: yeah dad's cutting it now and then when we get back to the house we'll decorate it
Olivia: yes will we know that already
Will: hey Lexie want to make a snow angel!?
Lexie: sure why not
(Lexie and will lay in the snow and start making snow angels until Derek comes back with the tree and then josh and Jaden help him tie it to the van and they were back on the road)
Back at the house
Casey: okay the boys are gonna set the tree up first and then we'll tell you when it's ready to decorate and while they do that I am gonna put some frozen pizzas in the oven
Kids: okay
Will: I am gonna go play Mario kart
Olivia: okay lex you want to hangout in my room
Lexie: sure
(The two of them walk into Olivia's room and Liv turns the radio on while Lexie is sitting on a beanbag chair)
Lexie: hey liv
Olivia: yeah
Lexie: do you mind if I check your phone real quick please I just want to log onto Instagram to catch up since I am you know restricted
Olivia: yeah sure I don't care (hands her her phone)
Lexie: thanks
Olivia: no problem, you want some edibles?
Lexie: why the hell not
(Olivia pulls out the bag of gummy worms)
Lexie's pov
After Olivia handed me her phone I went to Instagram and signed into my account and at first just scrolled through my feed and then I saw a post on TikTok room of a live with josh and Jaden that was posted yesterday with the caption "Jaden and josh step in after seeing the hate Lexie has been getting and says she will not be on social media until further notice" I turned up the video and sure enough Jaden and josh were telling the fans about what happened at the skating rink and that they were going to block anyone who was giving me hate. I quickly went to the comments section and read them "ha how pathetic she can't even stand up for herself and has to have her brothers do it" "finally I am not gonna see her ugly pictures on my feed" "might as well just send her back to where she came from" "good she's not even pretty or skinny enough to be on social media" "she should learn to stick up for herself instead of have other people do it for her" "she's so insecure that she can't even speak up on her own" I stopped looking at the comments and then went to my page and looked at the one I just posted. "Did you see her bio? The Sway boys are in charge of her account now like she's a baby" "she's not mentally okay for social media maybe she should just slit her wrist if she's that mentally unstable" "maybe she'll do everyone a favor and disappear" "Olivia is definitely way prettier than Lexie" "Olivia should be the one living in Sway not Lexie" I stopped reading after that and signed out of my account and handed the phone back to Olivia.
End of pov
Lexie: I'll be right back and If you hear screaming don't pay any attention to it
Olivia: what are you (but before she can finish Lexie is already out the door)
Lexie: JADEN FUCKING HOSSLER AND JOSHUA FUCKING RICHARDS WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!!!
Will: uh oh someone's in trouble
Jaden: (looks at Lexie) okay first of all if you want to talk you are going to lower your voice right now and mind your language you are not at home
Lexie: (looks at Casey and Derek) I apologize for what I am about to do no disrespect to you or anyone in here (turns back to the boys) YOU WENT ON A FUCKING LIVE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AT THE RINK AND THEN SAID YOU WOULD BLOCK THEM!!! WHAT PART OF DON'T FIGHT MY FUCKING BATTLES DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!!!! NOW I LOOK EVEN MORE PATHETIC THEN I ALREADY DID!!!!
Jaden: hold on two seconds I told you I didn't want you on social media so who's phone did you use to go on it, because it wasn't mine or Josh's
Lexie: ARE YOU KIDDING ME AFTER EVERYTHING I JUST SAID YOU ONLY FOCUS ON WHO I GOT THE PHONE FROM!!!! THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT THE POINT IS YOU WENT AHEAD AND TOOK CONTROL WHEN I ASKED YOU NOT TOO!!!
Josh: LEXIE MARIE STOP SCREAMING AND CUT THE LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW!! Go to our room and wait for one of us
Lexie: NO!! YOU GUYS CAN'T KEEP CONTROLLING ME!!!
Jaden: LEXIE MARIE I am giving you to the count of the three to get your ass in the room or I will punish you in front of everyone out here do you want that!?!
(Lexie stays quiet)
Josh: he asked you a question Lexie
Lexie: no
Josh: then go to the room and wait for us
Lexie: fuck you guys
(Lexie flips them off and walks off to the room while everyone else is just quiet and Jaden looks at Casey and Derek)
Jaden: I am so sorry for her behavior just now I don't know how in the world she thought that would be okay especially when we are guests in your home it was very disrespectful
Casey: it's okay Jaden and please don't think of yourselves as guests our home is your home now
Josh: still it doesn't give her the right to lose her temper the way she did (looks at Jaden) mind if I handle this one
Jaden: not at all it's your house go ahead but let me know when your done so we can talk with her
Josh: okay (walks out of the living room and opens the bedroom door to see Lexie laying on the bed and he sits in front of her)
Lexie: where's Jaden?
Josh: in the living room I am giving you the punishment
Lexie: josh I am
(Josh puts his hand up and stops her from talking)
Josh: no we'll talk when Jaden comes in because regardless of what the reason was it doesn't take away that what you just did right now was extremely disrespectful, I don't care how mad you are at Jaden and I you do not have a right to scream and curse like you just did it was unacceptable and embarrassing because we would never let you get away with your behavior just now and you know that now get over my lap
Lexie: Joshy
Josh: now Lexie Marie
(Lexie sighs and lays over his lap and he starts)
SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK SPANK
(Josh pulls her up from his lap and she has tears streaming down her face and he wipes them)
Josh: I am gonna go get Jaden okay?
Lexie: okay...
(Josh leaves the room and a minute later he comes back with Jaden and they both sit next to her)
Jaden: before you start saying anything Lexie I am telling you right now this better never happen again in someone else's house and when we are done talking you are going to go out there and apologize for your behavior do you understand?
Lexie: yes Jaden...
Jaden: okay now tell us in a calm voice why you got so pissed off
Lexie: I asked you guys not to step in anymore and
Jaden: and didn't josh say that we were going to step in if we needed to, Lexie I am sorry if you feel like we are controlling you but we are just giving you boundaries which is something your not used too and you might not want them but you need them and you are my priority I don't care what the fans have to say and I don't care if you don't like it because your mental health and protection come first
Lexie: okay but did you really have to tell the fans that and then publicly say you manage my account like I am not capable of doing it on my own
Josh: yes because we want the fans to know that they can't just say whatever they want in the comment section
Lexie: then why not let me have a private account?
Jaden: (sighs) because private accounts don't stay private for long our fans are like little spies and I just don't feel comfortable with you having it right now, I don't want you to do something to yourself that you'll later regret
Lexie: fine but you know the hate only got worse by posting that you manage my accounts now it's not gonna get any better
Josh: just wait and see okay? And trust us when we say we know what we are doing we are older then you and have been in this industry a lot longer
Lexie: (sighs) okay
Jaden: now come here and give us a hug
(Lexie walks over to the boys and hugs them and then they walk out into the living room and Lexie walks over to Casey and Derek)
Lexie: I am sorry for the way I reacted just now it wasn't okay and I know that I just got pissed but that's no excuse
Casey: (smiles) it's okay honey don't worry about it let's just decorate the tree okay?
Lexie: okay
(Lexie walks over to Olivia and Will and starts grabbing the ornaments for the tree and Derek walks over to Josh and Jaden)
Derek: I take back what I said the other day josh you handled that very responsibly and are more then ready to help Jaden raise her
Josh: thanks dad I appreciate that (hugs him)
Will: Josh can you help me put this one I can't reach it
Josh: sure bud
Jaden's pov
I watched josh help will out and then I looked over to see Olivia and Lexie helping each other and I smiled and then looked around the room at everyone and I thought to myself I may not have had the family I wanted growing up but I definitely have them now. I have the boys who are my brothers, josh who I can't imagine not being my boyfriend anymore because I love him way more then just a friendship way and his family who have been so welcoming since we stepped off the plane. At the end of the day I am so blessed and I am not gonna forget that, I walked over to josh and wrapped my arms around his waist and put my face in the crook of his neck.
End of pov
Jaden: I love you
Josh: I love you too (pecks him on the lips)
Lexie's pov
We spent the next hour listening to Christmas music and decorating the tree with silver and gold ornaments and eating the pizzas and afterward we watched all the Santa clause movies on Disney plus before bed and around twelve everyone called it a night. I went with Olivia to her room and we watched a few episodes of the vampire diaries and then Jaden called me to the room for bed, but when I walked in I saw the bottle of milk on the nightstand with the pacifier next to it and I tried to slowly back out of the room but as usual that never works out.
End of pov
Josh: nice try buddy (walks over and picks her up and closes the door)
Lexie: can't we just skip it for today pleaseeeee
Jaden: no if we do that you won't get used to it and then we won't be making any progress
Lexie: no we won't be making progress because I'll never like or accept it
Josh: no I think you do like it but you won't admit it because you don't want too
Lexie: well your wrong about that
Josh: am I?
Lexie: yeah
Josh: prove me wrong then don't go into a little space
Lexie: I have never gone into
Jaden: yeah you did it's very subtle and you probably don't even know your doing it neither did josh and I till we looked it up
Lexie: when have I ever gone into little space?
Jaden: the night you traced my tattoos before going to sleep
Josh: and when you played with my chain necklace and the rings
Lexie: I was distracting myself so I wouldn't be paying attention to what I was being forced to do duh
Jaden: and in the process you slipped into little space
Lexie: whatever I won't do it tonight
Jaden: okay prove us wrong then come lay on the bed and don't slip
Lexie: fine
(Lexie goes to lay on the bed)
Jaden: do you want to hold the bottle? Without throwing it this time (gives her a look)
Lexie: fine but only to prove to you that I won't go into a little space (takes the bottle from Jaden and puts it in her mouth)
Jaden: josh will you get the LED lights off but turn on the tv
Josh: yeah (grabs the LED light remote to turn it off and then starts scrolling through the channels)
Lexie's pov
I was sucking on the bottle because I figured the quicker I finish it the better and I can prove to them that I won't go into a stupid little space and josh was scrolling through the channels when I saw him flip to one that had bright colors and a pretty fairy with wings show up and then he clicked to another channel.
End of pov
Lexie: back
Josh: what?
Lexie: back
Jaden: you want josh to go back to that channel?
(Lexie nods her head still sucking on the bottle)
Josh: okay I guess (flips back to the channel with the fairy on it)
Lexie's pov
I found myself focusing on the movie which became highly entertaining and drank half the bottle before I handed it to Jaden.
End of pov
Lexie: full
Jaden: (looks at it) I guess it's more than you drank yesterday (takes the bottle and puts it on the nightstand)
Lexie: (looks at the pacifier on the night stand and tugs on Josh's shirt)
Josh: what's up baby
Lexie: that (points at at the pacifier)
Josh: you want it?
(Lexie nods her head and josh passes it to her and she puts it in her mouth and keeps looking at the screen until the movie finishes)
Lexie: another one
Jaden: it's one in the morning time to go to sleep
Lexie: not tired I want play
Josh: it's too late to play right now we need to go to sleep
Lexie: Joshy I want play
Jaden: no tomorrow we can play
Lexie: no now
Josh: even in little space she's still stubborn (laughs)
Jaden: how about we go to sleep now and play tomorrow
Lexie: no
Josh: I have an idea come here (picks her up and lays her on his lap)
Jaden: what are you
Josh: wait for it
Lexie's pov
I didn't want to lay on Joshy's lap so I started to move around but he held me tighter so I had no choice but to stay, I looked down at his hands and saw he had a ring on it and I grabbed it and pulled it off his finger and then put it on my finger but It was too big for me so I took it off of me and put it back on Joshy's and then took it off of him and put it back on and kept doing it until I got bored and started moving again so Jay jay picked me up and put my head on his chest and started singing a song and I started sucking on the pacifier and fell asleep.
