Friday: Christmas Day/ last day in Canada
Knock knock knock
(Jaden groans but gets off the bed and walks over to open the door to see Casey standing in the hall)
Jaden: good morning
Casey: morning I was just waking you guys up because I know josh wanted all of us to go skiing is that still something you guys want to do?
Jaden: uh yeah I think so how long is the drive?
Casey: it's about three hours which is why we need to leave early so you guys can get to the airport on time
Jaden: right okay let me wake up josh and lex and we'll be right out
Casey: okay and I was thinking we could just get breakfast on the road
Jaden: yeah sounds good
Casey: perfect let me wake everyone else up and I'll see you in the living room
Jaden: okay
(Jaden closes the door and walks over to josh and pecks him on the lips)
Josh: (smiles) well good morning to you too (opens his eyes)
Jaden: your mom was wondering if you still want to go skiing before going to the airport
Josh: yeah do you?
Jaden: yeah I can't remember the last time I went
Josh: okay I'll get ready and you wake up lex
Jaden: okay
(Josh gives Jaden one last kiss before getting off the bed and going to the bathroom while Jaden lightly shakes Lexie)
Jaden: lex time to get up
Lexie: no bubba (whines) I tired
Jaden: (mumbles) shit she's in little space, Lex I need you to get up for me okay?
Lexie: nooo
Jaden: Lexie you need to get up now we are going skiing you can sleep in the car if you want but you have to get ready
Lexie: but bubba I want sleep! (Pulls the covers over her head)
Jaden: Lexie Marie listen to me please
Lexie: no (whines)
Jaden: don't tell me no
Lexie: but I tired
(Jaden sighs and pulls the sheets off of her just as josh is getting out of the bathroom dressed in a hoodie and some sweats)
Josh: what's going on?
Jaden: Lexie doesn't want to get up and she's in little space
Lexie: I tired (crosses her arms)
Josh: well how do we get her out of little space?
Jaden: I don't know she usually snaps out of it but she hasn't yet and we can't give her a bottle because your parents are awake
Josh: what if we gave her the pacifier i know it triggers her into little space but what if she's already in it and it triggers her out of it
Jaden: like yesterday
Josh: exactly
Jaden: it's worth a shot
(Jaden gets up and grabs the pacifier and puts it in her mouth and she starts to fall asleep again so Jaden picks her up and starts bouncing her on his knee to keep her awake)
Lexie: stop bubba I want sleep!
Jaden: sorry baby but you can't right now you need to get up and get ready
Lexie's pov
Bubba kept bouncing his knee up and down and it was starting to annoy me and then something in my brain just clicked and I realized he was bouncing me on his knee and I had a pacifier in my mouth again! What the hell is up with me waking up in little space! Ugh I quickly got off of Jaden's lap and threw the pacifier at him which hit him in the cheek and then looked him in the eyes.
End of pov
Lexie: stop fucking giving me this stupid thing Jaden I don't want it!! And why the hell were you bouncing me up and down like a toddler?!?
Josh: well look at that it worked and stop with the language, now I need you to get ready because we are going skiing
Lexie: fine just burn the stupid thing while I get dressed (walks over to her suitcase and pulls out some clothes) josh can I have a beanie
Josh: bud just wants to steal all my beanies now huh (laughs and throws her a white one)
Lexie: thank you (walks to the bathroom) do I have time to shower?
Jaden: no just shower when we get back before going to the airport your gonna get snow all over you anyway
Lexie: good point (closes the door)
Josh: (looks at Jaden) where did the pacifier go?
Jaden: there (points at it the floor)
I am gonna get ready now
Josh: okay
Josh's pov
I picked up the pacifier and put it in the case while Jaden walked over to his suitcase and opened it and went to grab a hoodie and couldn't help but admire the multiple butterfly tattoos on his tan skin, his biceps which were muscular but not too muscular which I liked, and don't even get me started on his abs and V line...
end of pov
Jaden: babe take a picture it'll last longer (smirks)
Josh: what I wasn't staring (scoffs)
Jaden: hmm sure (walks over to him and and pins him against the wall and whispers in his ear) I know you were staring but it's okay because guess what your mine (starts kissing him)
Josh's pov
I obviously started kissing back but I also wanted to show Jaden he's not always going to be the dominant one in this relationship so as we were kissing and our tongues were fighting for dominance I wrapped my arms around his waist and turned him around and grabbed onto his wrists so he was the one being pinned against the wall and then we heard the door open and quickly pulled away from each other.
End of pov
Lexie: oh don't let me stop you from having morning sex (laughs)
Josh: oh shut up (looks at Jaden) finish getting dressed
Jaden: (smirks) yes daddy
Lexie: (fake gags) I am out of here
(Lexie walks over to grab her phone and purse and then walks out to the living room and a few minutes later josh and Jaden joined the rest of the family)
Olivia: so question who's top and who's bottom (laughs)
Will: something tells me josh is the bottoms (laughs)
Josh: oh haha hilarious (looks at his parents) are we ready to go?
Derek: yeah come on
Lexie: Liv should we give them the back in case they want to hook up? (Jokes)
Olivia: yeah because apparently they can't keep their hands to themselves
Casey: alright girls just get in the car
Lexie's pov
We listened to Casey and all got in the van, Derek drove while Casey got in the passenger and in the second row it was Liv and I and in the back row was Will, Josh and Jaden because Will wanted to show them a game on the Nintendo switch he had while Liv and I just took pictures again and listened to music.
End of pov
One hour later
Will: mommm
Casey: yeah
Will: I need to use the bathroom
Olivia: again (groans) we literally stopped thirty minutes ago
Will: I drank all of my slushee
Derek: alright we'll stop at the next gas station
Will: okay
Lexie's pov
We stopped at the gas station and grabbed a bag of chips and another cherry slushee and got back in the car and the further we got the more mountains we saw and it reminded me of home and how I missed my friends since I haven't talked to them in a while so I pulled out my phone and texted the chat.
End of pov
Group chat
Lexie: hey girlies I know we haven't talked in a while but I am alive 😂
Naomi: omg Lexie we miss you!!
Silver: how's the LA life treating you?
Lexie: If you follow TikTok room you would know, how was your Christmas?
Jenny: it was fine you know parents jetting off to wherever so we just partied at grace's and now we are figuring out where to go for New Years
Lexie: wait a second I just had the best idea!
Sarah: what is it?
Lexie: do your parents still have the private jet Naomi?
Naomi: well duh of course
Lexie: the boys and I are going to be in Miami so why don't you meet us!
Ariana: omg that might be the best idea you have ever had when do you get there?
Lexie: I go back to LA tonight and we fly to Miami tomorrow morning to meet up with the boys
Naomi: okay perfect let us know before you get on the plane
Lexie: okay I gotta go because we just got to the mountains and we are going skiing
Jenny: wait, I know the boys aren't in the chat with us but should we invite them?
Lexie: go for it i don't care
Ariana: okay we'll talk to them and then create a group chat with all of us
Lexie: sounds good talk to you guys later
Girls: okay
End of group chat
Lexie's pov
I put my phone down as Derek was parking the car and we all got out and started walking to the booth where we were going to get our wrist bands to go on the lifts and I got in the one with the boys. Josh took out his phone and took a picture of all of us on the ski lift and posted it on Instagram and sent it to the boys group chat who said they couldn't wait to see all of us and as much as they drive me insane I do miss them too.
End of pov
Lexie: how much long are we going to be on this lift for?
Josh: about five more minutes
Jaden: are you excited to ski again lex?
Lexie: kind of but I don't remember how to do it to be honest I think the last time we went skiing we were like ten and mom and dad took us on their only business trip to North Carolina where we stayed in that cabin remember
Jaden: yeah your hands were too small for the ski handles (teases)
Lexie: yeah yeah just make fun of my size
Josh: it's cute though your like fun size
Lexie: whatever you sayyy
Five minutes later
Lexie's pov
We landed on the mountain and got off the lifts and all walked over to where the skis were and each grabbed one and started off on the small mountain because there were three mountains in total the first was the smallest, the second was medium sized and the third was the biggest and I grabbed a pair of skis that I figured were my size and stepped on it and tried copying the boys since they already knew what they were doing but I kept tripping over them.
End of pov
Lexie: Jaden help me!
Jaden: haha okay okay (gets off the skis and walks over to her and helps her up) first step on them and make sure you feel balanced enough
Lexie: okay (steps on it)
Jaden: are you balanced?
Lexie: yeah
Jaden: okay now just walk one foot in front of the other like normal
Lexie: okay... whoah whoah (loses her balance)
Jaden: I got you kiddo (holds her) try again
Lexie: okay
A few minutes later
Lexie: look guys I am doing it!
Josh: (looks over at her and smiles) that's awesome Lexie!
Olivia: do you know how to stop though?
Lexie: I think so! (Slows down) yeah I am good
Casey: good job honey
Will: now you just need to learn hockey
Lexie: haha slow down buddy I don't know about that
Josh: you already know how to skate you could easily pick up hockey
Lexie: nah I'll let you keep the puck
Josh: okay race you to that tree
Lexie: bet
Jaden: you just learned ten minutes ago he careful!
Lexie: yeah yeah I got this
Jaden: if you say so
Lexie's pov
I raced josh to the tree but he ended up winning because well he's got more experience than me but it was still fun. We spent a majority of the day in the mountains and then started driving back and on the way we stopped at a restaurant to eat lunch since we just had gas station food earlier.
End of pov
At the restaurant
Casey: I am gonna miss you guys
Josh: aww mama don't start with the tears please (gets off the chair and hugs her)
Casey: I know it's just your still my baby and having you home this week along with Jaden and lex has been so great
Derek: and we want you to know that your part of our family now and our house is always open to both of you
Jaden: thank you Derek and Casey that means a lot to me and lex you have no idea you both my sister and I the Christmas we didn't have as kids
Olivia: aww group hug
(They all hug each other and then someone taps them on the shoulder)
?: sorry but your jaden hossler and josh Richards right!!
Jaden: yeah we are what are your names? (Smiles)
?: I am Giana and this is my sister Allie
Josh: it's nice to meet you both would you like a picture?
Allie: yes please!
Giana: when's your album coming out??
Jaden: early next year I promise
Giana: we can't wait!!
Jaden: thanks for the support guys
(They take the picture and the waitress brings them their food)
Lexie's pov
I looked at the grilled cheese in front of me and I am not gonna lie it looks really good but I know how many calories cheese has and I am not about to eat this whole sandwich especially since I have been banned from working out... I kept looking at the sandwich until I felt Jaden snap his fingers in front of me.
End of pov
Lexie: what? (Looks at him)
Jaden: I said start eating
Lexie: but Jaden
Jaden: what?
Lexie: the cheese
Jaden: what about it?
Lexie: they put a lot of it
Jaden: (sighs) Lexie just eat please so we can start driving again
Lexie: fine (mumbles and takes a bite)
A little while later
Derek: is everyone done?
Olivia: yeah I think so
Lexie: yeah I am just gonna use the bathroom really quick before we hit the road again
Josh: okay Liv can you go with her?
Lexie: it's okay Liv you don't have too
Josh: then your not going
Lexie: why? Because you don't trust me? (Crosses her arms) I am not gonna do anything
Jaden: promise us
Lexie: I promise
Josh: okay go ahead
Lexie's pov
I rolled my eyes and got up from my chair and walked to the bathroom and I saw Allie and Giana washing their hands. I was hoping I could just walk past them and get to the stall and I was about to open up one of them when I saw Allie turn towards me.
End of pov
Allie: let me guess the crazy hossler sister is about to purge all that cheese she ate
Lexie: I wasn't going to do that
Giana: then you should because your looking a little fat sweetheart maybe lose a couple pounds
(The bathroom door opens)
Olivia: leave her alone
Lexie: of course they send you anyway (rolls her eyes)
Allie: oh so I was right you were going to purge, Giana write to tik tok room this just in Lexie hossler caught in bathroom about to purge
Olivia: take out the phone and I promise you it's going in the toilet (takes Lexie's hand and starts walking out of the bathroom)
Lexie: I could have handled it liv I love you like a sister but the last thing I need is another person fighting my battles for me
Olivia: I am sorry lex but you and I both know you weren't just going to use the bathroom after what those girls said to you (walks back to the table) are we ready to go?
Josh: yeah everything okay?
Olivia: yeah let's just get out of here
Derek: okay
Lexie's pov
I was at least grateful that Liv didn't tell the boys what happened in the bathroom and she left it alone because I don't need to tell them everything all the time. We got in the car and and started the drive back to the house which was about another hour and a half, and when we got to the house Wyatt and Gavin were there to say bye to josh while I finished packing up my suitcase making sure I wouldn't leave anything behind and took It to the van with Jaden behind me.
End of pov
Wyatt: it was nice meeting you lex next time we see each other you gotta show me around LA okay?
Lexie: haha okay sounds like a plan
Gavin: and make sure you keep josh in line we don't need him to change (jokes)
Josh: oh shut up I'll miss you bro (daps him up)
Wyatt: take care of him for us Jaden
Jaden: I will don't worry (daps him up and then Gavin)
Casey: alright let's get you guys to the airport we don't want you late
Josh: okay
Lexie's pov
We all got in the van again and started driving the hour to the airport and Liv and I just talked the whole way enjoying the last time we are gonna see each other for a while but hopefully when she graduates she can come to LA too. Eventually we got to the airport and took our suitcases out of the trunk and it was time to say goodbye.
End of pov
Will: I am gonna miss you josh (hugs him and tears up a little)
Josh: me too buddy but I promise the next time we see each other you can come to LA and you can shotgun with me and Bryce okay?
Will: (laughs) okay
Olivia: I will admit it's gonna be nice not having my phone blow up with fake friends asking if they can come over to meet you
Josh: (shakes his head) come here buddy (pulls her In for a hug) I am gonna miss you and be good for mom and dad (whispers in her ear) and no more getting drunk
Olivia: no promises besides you don't have to worry about me anymore you have Lexie
Josh: I am always going to worry about you Liv your my little sister
Olivia: your becoming soft get on the plane before you start crying (looks at Lexie and hugs her) you have my number text me whenever you want to talk okay?
Lexie: I will thanks Liv (hugs her)
Will: bye Lexie (hugs her) your the big sister I actually want
Olivia: I heard that (gently smacks him in the head)
Will: oww see you bully me she doesn't
Lexie: haha don't worry will I'll be your nice big sister
Will: yay!
Casey: (walks over to Lexie and pulls her in for a hug) just like Olivia said you have my number too so you can call me okay? I know I am not your mom but
Lexie: you have been more of a mom to me this whole week then my own mother was... thank you Casey
Casey: your welcome dear I hope to see you soon
Derek: well son I guess we'll see you in a few months
Josh: yeah maybe you guys can come for the summer and stay at the sway house
Derek: yeah we'll definitely plan it, you boys take care of each other and take care of Lexie
Them: we will
Josh: alright we have to get to security you ready lex?
Lexie: yeah (hugs them one more time) okay now I am ready
Jaden: (wraps his arm over her shoulder) then let's go home
Lexie's pov
We got through security once again having to take our shoes off just to put them back on and checked in our suitcases but put out carryon's in the compartment above our seats and sat down waiting for take off.
End of pov
Josh: so how did you like Canada?
Lexie: it was fun I really like your family Joshy
Josh: well they loved you and don't worry we'll see them again eventually
Lexie: yeah I guess
Jaden: but are you excited to see the boys? Griffin responded in the chat saying he was going to steal you from us once we get to Miami (laughs)
Lexie: haha yeah I do miss the boys it was weird not being with them this week but I still had fun
Jaden: good I am happy you had a good Christmas
Lexie: can I sleep now?
Josh: (laughs) yeah go ahead we still have a few hours on the plane anyway
Five hours later
Jaden: Lex, Lexie, Lexie wake up we are about to land
Lexie: ugh fine (opens her eyes)
Josh: I just got the Uber so by the time we grab our suitcases it should be here
Jaden: okay
Lexie's pov
We found our suitcases and made it to the Uber where we were in the car for thirty minutes and the boys were on their phones while I was looking out the window and for the first time I saw the beauty in LA. I loved how the palm trees swayed in the wind and the sun that was beating down on my face and just how pretty LA was now that I see it differently. Thirty minutes of driving later we got to the house and josh opened the door and all of a sudden we heard footsteps which was weird because I thought we were the only ones home until I saw a black and white husky puppy running towards the door and Bryce chasing after it.
End of pov
Lexie: w w what is going on?
Josh: it was supposed to be a surprise Bryce!
Bryce: yeah well for a tiny ass dog he sure runs fast
Lexie: I thought you were in Texas with your mom!
Bryce: I was but then the boys texted in the group chat they wanted to surprise you with a puppy for Christmas sooo
Jaden: merry Christmas!
Lexie: I can't believe you guys got me a dog!! (Hugs Jaden, josh and Bryce) what's his name?
Jaden: well that's up to you he's yours
Lexie: (picks up the puppy and looks at it) I think we are gonna call you buddy, do you like that (pets him) wait is he coming to Miami with us?
Josh: no he's gonna stay with Tayler but we'll pick him up when we get back
Bryce: but he has puppy food, a bed and a few toys so he doesn't get bored
Lexie: can I go play with him before I have to pack?
Josh: yeah we don't leave till tomorrow anyway
Lexie: okay come on let's go buddy (picks him up and carries him up to his room along with a few of the toys)
Bryce: sooo you think that's gonna soften the whole age play phase two thing
Jaden: I hope but either way seeing her smile when she saw buddy is worth whatever happens next
Josh: yeah I think getting buddy was definitely the right call
Bryce: so how was Canada?
Josh: good it was great seeing my family again and lex seemed to have fun despite the mis haps that went down
Bryce: has she had anymore nightmares?
Jaden: no and she's slipping into little space little by little yesterday night she called me bubba
Bryce: isn't that what she used to call you when you were little?
Jaden: yup
Bryce: well then that's progress
Josh: hmm and she's using the bottle and pacifier more too
Bryce: good so maybe this won't be as bad as we all thought it would be
Josh: only time will tell but I am gonna jump in the shower
Jaden: okay while you do that I am going to pack some stuff for little Lexie for the hotel
Josh: okay
Bryce: and I am gonna go play with Lexie and buddy
Jaden: go for it keep her distracted even though buddy is probably doing that already
Bryce: yeah yeah
(Bryce walks upstairs and opens Lexie's bedroom door to see her playing with a toy rope and buddy tugging on it and buddy growling softly)
Lexie: okay okay here you go
(She let's go of the rope and buddy starts chewing on it before walking over to her and falling asleep on her lap)
Lexie: he's so cute (pets him)
Bryce: I am glad your happy with him otherwise you would have been stuck with him
Lexie: haha I am and I literally had no idea the boys didn't say anything
Bryce: well that's kind of the point of a surprise
Lexie: how was Christmas with Addie and your mom?
Bryce: amazing my mom loves her and she loves my mom
Lexie: that's great is she coming with us to Miami?
Bryce: yeah and so are the other girls
Lexie: cool it's gonna be so much fun
Bryce: yeah
Lexie's pov
Bryce and I talked for a little bit longer before buddy woke up and wanted to play again so I played with him for a few more minutes before getting up to go take a shower. Once again I put the temperature really hot because I realized that If I can't hurt myself with a razor because I'll get caught why not just take a hot shower and let the water burn my skin. Look I know I probably sound crazy but your talking to a girl who purged a year ago and slit my wrists a while back and since I can't do either of those I have been trying to find an alternative aka hot showers. Twenty minutes of being in the water and washing myself I got out, dried off and changed into pajamas. I looked over at buddy who was sleeping in his bed and walked downstairs where the boys were catching up ok their games and we ordered Chinese and later on I went to sleep with josh and Jaden because we have to on the plane tomorrow yet again.
