Forced to live with Sway LA

Chapter 37

Thursday (New Years eve early morning)
Knock knock knock knock
Lexie's pov
I woke up hearing knocking at the door and it was probably one of the boys so I decided to get up since the four other boys were still past out asleep. I quietly got off the bed and opened the door to see Naomi and Sarah what the hell? And what time is it I quickly closed the door and went out into the hall and leaned against the door.
End of pov
Lexie: what are you guys doing here (whisper yells)
Sarah: we just got back from Austin's house but that's besides the point we were all talking and we want you to come back to Tennessee
Lexie: I.. what??
Naomi: you could live with me it's not like my parents care and they love you anyway but this way you can come back to us and get away from your controlling ass brother
Sarah: yeah he's changing you lex please tell me you see it
Lexie: guys don't get me wrong I missed you but
Naomi: but what Lexie? But your brother all of a sudden cares about you? But you've forgiven him after all this time right? Forget about the fact that we were the ones who were actually there for you when Jake assaulted you and you were to afraid to get out of the relationship or when Jake and Katherine spread the lies for you at school and we were the ones that stood up for you not Jaden and may I remind you we were there when your mother kicked you out of the house leaving you to the streets for three months
Lexie: would you shut up before you wake up one of the boys
Sarah: or how about when Katherine and her group bullied you to the point you ended up in the hospital for almost committing
Lexie: okay Sarah I get it! Yes you guys have stood by me we already established that and I appreciate that but I can't just grab my bags and go back to Tennessee, do you know how quick my brother would have the cops on my ass? Or CPS could find out and possibly take me away from my brother for good and I end up in the system
Naomi: no you won't because like I said you would live with me and it'll be like the old times come on Lexie your kidding yourself if you think Jaden and those boys actually care about you because the truth is they never have, your just causing them more trouble and your a burden to them come back to Tennessee with your real family
Lexie: the boys are my real family I am sorry Naomi but no I am not going back to Tennessee
Naomi: fine but when the boys get tired of dealing with you and kick you to the streets like your mom did we won't be there to pick up the pieces this time and you'll be by yourself with no one, come on Sarah Lexie's made her choice
Sarah: (sighs) Leo's gonna be disappointed that you didn't pick us when you could have
(Sarah and Naomi walk away and Lexie walks back to the room and doesn't bother going back to bed but instead walks up to the balcony and sits on a chair and starts crying)
Kio's pov
I heard someone crying which is what woke me up because I just assumed lex had another nightmare but when I sat up and looked at josh and Jaden's bed she wasn't in it and I was about to start panicking thinking she snuck off again but then I turned around and looked outside and saw her sitting on the chair with her head in her hands. I got off the bed and opened the door not wanting to startle her but also wanting to comfort her so I wrapped my arms around her.
End of pov
Kio: shh lex it's okay did you have another nightmare?
Lexie: n n no
Kio: then what happened?
Lexie: n n Naomi a a and s s Sarah c came t to the r room j j just n now a and t told m me t to go b back to t t Tennessee with t them b but I s said n no and then they just (starts sobbing)
Kio: what did they say honey?
Lexie: t t they s said t t that I am n naive t to t think that y you g guys a actually c care about m me a and t that I am j just a b burden a and that you'll j just k kick m me o o out l like m my mom did (cries) a and t then I'll b be a a all a alone a and I k know I c cause t trouble a and I k know I am a b burden and e eventually you w will get s s sick o of m m me b but I d don't c care I c can't j just l leave you g guys e e even t though y you'll l l leave m me o one d day, j j Jaden w will g go on t tour a and become f f famous a and h he'll forget all about h h h his b b baby s s sister (she starts hyperventilating)
Kio's pov
My heart broke at what she just told me because the boys and I love her so much and I can't even imagine what we would do if we lost her but she's had so many people tell her otherwise to the point that she's even convinced herself. I watched as she kept hyperventilating and I knew it was only a matter of minutes before she was going to have a panic attack so I quickly got up with her in my arms and as soon as we walked back into the room Jaden woke up because he could hear her crying and hyperventilating which causes griffin and josh to wake up too. Jaden walked over to me and took Lexie out of my arms and started trying to get her to breathe evenly again and a few minutes later she was breathing normal but still had tears streaming down her face and her body was shaking from her hyperventilating earlier.
End of pov
Jaden: Lexie can you tell me what happened (wipes her tears)
(Lexie shakes her head no and just wraps her arms around Jaden clinging onto him)
Josh: Kio do you know what happened? Since you were out there?
Kio: yeah apparently Naomi and Sarah came to the room and told Lexie to leave with them to Tennessee and when she told them no they just started talking shit about how she's a burden for us and that we were going to kick her out eventually
Lexie: b b because y you w w will (cries) m m maybe t they are r right I am t t to much t trouble I s s should j just l leave a and m make it e easier f f for you g guys
Jaden: what!? No no baby listen and look me in the eyes okay (lifts up her chin and wipes her tears away) I know you've had this idea in your head that we don't care about you and that your a burden to us and all these other negative voices in your head but I am telling you right now Lexie Marie Hossler you are my baby sister and I love you so much and you are NOT a burden not to me and not to the other boys they love you so much, you are a blessing to us and to me if mom never had you I probably wouldn't even know how to love someone because I didn't have anyone to teach me, you taught me how to love and care for someone other then myself and I would not trade you for anything in the world, I am not going anywhere and neither are the other boys and I need you to get that through your head because I don't want you thinking so lowly of yourself anymore
Josh: yeah fuck what those girls say and fuck anyone else on the internet who says that shit to you because they are wrong, we all love you and you need to know that
Griffin: yeah lex and we are going to spend everyday reassuring you that if we have tok until you understand it okay?
Lexie: o okay
(Jaden kisses the top of her head when there's a knock on the door and lex freezes in Jaden's lap and griffin walks over to open the door)
Bryce: who's ready to spend New Years in the keys!! (Walks in and looks around) what did I miss?
Josh: (shakes his head) a lot Bryce but let's not talk about it now okay we have to get ready
Jaden: feeling better?
Lexie: a little bit
Griffin: okay let's get ready then, Bryce since your up you want to get everyone up?
Bryce: yeah Addy's up but she's packing the suitcase
Lexie: why is she packing?
Kio: because tonight we are staying in key west and then tomorrow morning we fly back to LA
Lexie: oh okay I'll pack to I guess (gets off Jaden's lap and walks to the suitcase)
Jaden: josh and I can go down to Starbucks and get everyone food
Griffin: okay just text the group chat to see what everyone wants
Jaden: got it let's go babe
(Josh gets off the bed and follows Jaden out of the room)
Josh: are we really going to Starbucks?
Jaden: yeah but I want to stop somewhere first
Josh: Jaden no
Jaden: what do you mean no? They had the audacity to say that shit to Lexie's face
(Gets in the elevator and clicks on the their floor)
Josh: think about this we don't know these kids and they know a lot about lex actually they know everything about her so if I were you just let it go and don't make the situation worse
Jaden: I just want to talk to them that's all (gets off the elevator and knocks on their door)
Josh: this is a bad idea and if this blows up I will say I told you so I don't care how hot you are
Jaden: well it's good to know my boyfriend has my back (pecks him on the lips)
Josh: never said that
(Jaden knocks on their door again and this time Beck opens the door)
Beck: can we help you?
Jaden: yeah I'd like a word with Naomi and Sarah
Beck: why?
Jaden: because they came by my room this morning and said some shit to Lexie that wasn't okay
Beck: whatever come in I guess
(Jaden and josh walk into the hotel room to see Leo making out with some black haired chick, Grace and Sarah lighting a blunt and Naomi and silver opening a beer)
Josh: it's like eight thirty in the morning and they are already getting stoned...
Jaden: Naomi, Sarah I need to talk to you guys
Sarah: (scoffs) oh let me guess Lexie decided to report to her body guards
Naomi: I swear she's gone soft since living with you guys it's pathetic
Jaden: are you serious right now? Yesterday you went to OUR hotel room and threw insults at us for not being there for Lexie and now that she tells you no your going to go ahead insult her but yet you claim to care about her
Naomi: I do care about her but the real her not this version you people created of her
Josh: oh yeah because the version you knew was just looking to substitute all the pain she was feeling
Grace: we helped her feel better and were there for her which is something you can't say
Jaden: I am not here to argue about something we argued about last night all I am here to say is don't ever tell her we don't care about her or that she's a burden for us because she's not and you had absolutely no right to say that to her number one and number two don't ever try and contact her again I am glad she lives with me because I can keep her away from this kind of life style and I hope you kids have enough sense to learn that this isn't the right way to live and grow from it, come on josh let's go (starts walking out of the room)
Naomi: you better tell your sister to watch it she betrayed us by picking you and we don't respond kindly to betrayal
Jaden: leave my sister alone or I promise you will find yourself in juvie
(Jaden and josh leave the room and take the elevator down to Starbucks)
Lexie's pov
I finished packing my suitcase and pulled out a pair of shorts and a tube top for the car ride and took it to the bathroom to change into after I showered. Once again the temperature of the water was hot and burned my skin but I also realized I needed to shave so I grabbed my carry on razor and started shaving my legs and when I was done the words that Naomi said this morning flooded back into my mind and I thought about the first time I cut. I had gotten home from school after Katherine and her crew had punched me after school by the bleachers and told me that I was a waste of space and should just slit my wrist... so I did and then it became a habit until Leo and I hooked up one day and he took my bracelets off my wrist and saw them... he made me promise never to do it again and I kept that promise but now as I looked at it in my hand it was becoming tempting. I quickly threw it across the bathroom hitting the wall and then falling on the floor and scolded myself for even thinking about it again. I can't do that to Jaden or the rest of the boys they already worry about me enough and I can't have them worry anymore. I got out of the shower and changed Into my clothes and saw the boys back from Starbucks they handed me a croissant and a s'mores frappe as we were walking down to the lobby to meet the boys and girls. We got to the lobby and saw Blake and Noah loading up the car and griffin, Kio, josh and Jaden went to help them while I went to say hi to the girls. We all got in the limo and I sat in between Dixie and Avani while Noah was on Dixie's left side and Anthony was on Avani's right side and we started driving away from the hotel and I found myself staring at the palm trees and counted them in my head. Then the hotels that we passed and the multiple shops that were there in between the hotels until I saw an adorable shitzu on a leash being walked by an owner but the shitzu was so cute!!
End of pov
Lexie: bubba look cute puppy!!! (Points out the window)
Jaden: (looks out the window) aw yeah it's cute
Anthony: (whispers In Avani's ear) when did she slip into little space?
Avani: I don't know maybe when she was looking out the window (shrugs her shoulders)
Lexie: I bored (kicks her legs in the seat)
Quinton: what do you want to do? (Turns to look at her)
Lexie: I no no but I bored
Addison: hey lex how old are you now?
Lexie: I three
Addison: okay do you want tabby and Clifford?
Lexie: yeah! (Claps her hands)
(Addison hands Lexie the stuffed animals and Lexie hands Clifford to Quinton)
Lexie: hi Clifford my name is tabby
Quinton: hi tabby I like the color of your fur
Lexie: thank you I like your fluffy ears
(Jaden taps josh on the shoulder who was talking to Bryce)
Josh: hmm
Jaden: look at lex and Q
Josh: (looks at Q playing with her) now that's adorable
Jaden: I know do you think he'd Jill me if I took a pic? Obviously not gonna post it
Bryce: use it to blackmail the freshman
Jaden: good idea (snaps a pic)
Ten minutes later
Lexie: I no want to play with tabby and Clifford no more (takes Clifford out of Quinton's hand and throws both of them to the floor of the car)
Quinton: poor Clifford you hurt his feelings
Lexie: oh well (shrugs her shoulders) Blakey are we there yet (whines)
Blake: no princess we still have a few hours
Lexie: but I bored (whines and kicks her feet)
Amelie: hey lex how about we play a game
Lexie: what game?
Amelie: it's guess the Disney song you want to play?
Lexie: yeah!!
Amelie: hey Noah pass me the aux
Noah: here you go (hands it to her)
Amelie: okay lex so I am gonna put a song on and you have to guess it okay?
Lexie: okay!
Song: it means no worries for the rest of your days it's our problem free philosophy
Lexie: hakuna matata!!
Dixie: good job can I take a turn now?
Lexie: yeah
Song: look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride or a perfect daughter can it be I am not meant to play this part
Dixie: reflection by Mulan?
Lexie: yeah you got it (claps her hands) Bice your turn!
Bryce: hmm what? (Turns to look at her after talking with Addison)
Lexie: you guess Disney song now
Bryce: oh I don't know many songs lex
Lexie: pleaseee bice
Blake: you heard the baby she wants you to guess a song or does big bad Bryce not listen to Disney songs (teases)
Lexie: bice bice bice Disney song now!
Addison: come on it's just one little song to make her happy
Bryce: alright alright but if I don't know if no one make fun of me
Josh: wait wait I need to record this (takes his phone out)
Bryce: fuck you josh
Jaden: hey! We have little ears now

Bryce: okay okay put the song on
Song: there's no place I'd rather be then on my surfboard out at sea lingering in the ocean blue and if I had one wish come true
Bryce: little mermaid

Josh: damn mans didn't know Lilo and stitch that's disappointing
Noah: yeah how do you not know Lilo and Stitch it's a classic
Lexie: addy your turn!
Addison: okay pick the song
Bryce: of course she's gonna get it she's the queen of Disney

Addison: belle from beauty and the beast
Lexie: yeah! (Claps her hands) addy better than you bice
Bryce: yeah yeah okay little one
Josh's pov
We played a few more rounds of the Disney game and instead of guessing lex just sang along to them until she eventually fell asleep and we all kind of sighed in relief because we were tired of the Disney songs. I looked over at Jaden who was looking out the window so I just leaned over and pecked him on the lips and he turned to me with a smile.
End of pov
Jaden: what was that for?
Josh: I wanted your attention
Jaden: aw babe (plays with his hair) you always have my attention
Josh: you were looking out the window
Jaden: yeah but you still have my attention (pecks him on the lips)
Blake: aww look at the happy couple
Jaden: yeah yeah go kiss Amelie
Blake: bet (leans in and kisses her)
Dixie: (turns to josh and Jaden) so have you guys thought about when you want to go public?
Josh: yeah we were going to yesterday but you know with everything that went down we couldn't so I think we are gonna go public tonight at midnight right Jae?
Jaden: yeah that sounds perfect but we are still gonna use the pics we took yesterday right?
Josh: yeah if you want
Jaden: yeah they came out really good
2 hours later
Lexie's pov
I woke up with my tummy growling and I looked around the car and everyone was sleeping so I started poking Dixie in the cheek.
End of pov
Lexie: d d wake up I hungry
Dixie: hmm (opens her eyes)
Lexie: I hungry
Dixie: okay (taps jaden on shoulder who was laying against josh)
Jaden: what's up? (Opens his eyes)
Dixie: lex is hungry
Jaden: okay we'll tell the limo driver to stop
Lexie's pov
A few minutes later we stop at McDonald's and bubba orders me a cheese burger with fries and a sprite and I take a bite of the cheeseburger and my tummy stopped growling so then I took another bite and another bite until I took another one and this time it didn't taste that good anymore. I looked at it and then I realized I was eating a cheese burger from McDonald's do you know how fattening that is!! I put the cheeseburger down and instantly felt sick to my stomach. I put it down because I didn't want anymore and I had to fight the urge to throw it back up.
End of pov
Anthony: lex you've only had three bites of the burger I thought you said you were hungry
Lexie: are we talking about the same person because I never ask for food?
Josh: damnit your out of little space
Lexie: when did I go into little space?
Griffin: like two hours ago
Lexie: oh I didn't mean to slip I guess it just happens randomly now... (looks down at her feet)
Kio: what's wrong?
Lexie: I just... I don't want to slip into little space it makes me feel more of a baby than I already am but at the same time I do like it and...
Quinton: you don't want to admit it
(Lexie shakes her head)
Griffin: it's okay to want to be little and childish lex, you need it and it makes sense why you slipped without knowing after what happened this morning
Lexie: I guess...
Jaden: it's okay lex but I am still gonna need you to eat the burger
Lexie: I don't want to McDonald's is gross
Josh: at least four more bites
Lexie: no (crosses her arms)
Blake: we still have another two hours in this car so it's up to you whether you want to cooperate or not
Lexie's pov
I looked at the burger in front of me and then I thought about the talk we had about me not complaining when it comes to food so I swallows down my protests and took four more bites still feeling the urge to throw it back up but I managed to keep it down. The last two hours of the car ride was spent talking and vibing to music and me trying not to slip again. Eventually we got to the hotel and checked in this time we were rooming with Bryce and Addison so we took ten minutes to settle in before changing into our bathing suits and going down to the beach where they had this nee year's festival going on. Jaden and I played this water balloon toss game that I ended up winning because he didn't catch it on time and the water balloon hit him in the chest. Then josh and I played this dart game but our aims sucked so we laughed it off, then Blake, Amelie and I went on this paddle boat thing which was fun. Around sunset we walked into a restaurant that was playing this song called island in the sun by the weezers it's an old slow song and the only reason I recognized it was because it's from my favorite movie aquamarine. I pulled Dixie and Noah to the floor because they were sitting and I just told them to sway to the music and they both did pretty well considering they can't really dance. At the end of the night we all got sparklers and sat in a circle on the sand and we shouted Happy New Year when the clock struck twelve, and hung around a little longer because the adults were starting to really drink and some of them were already drunk and Jaden didn't want me to be exposed to anything that could happen so we went back to the hotel and crawled into bed me in between Jaden and josh like always.
End of pov
Lexie: I love you bubba
Jaden: did you slip into little space?
Lexie: no I just felt like saying it (curls up to him)
Jaden: I love you too baby (kisses the top of her head)
Josh: okay I see how it is (pretends to get off the bed)
Lexie: no Joshy stay! (Grabs his arm and pulls him back)
Josh: I was just playing with you get some sleep bud
Lexie: okay Love you
Boys: love you too (they turn the lights off and go to sleep)
