Forced to live with Sway LA

Chapter 56

Friday
Knock knock knock
Jaden: (groans and opens his eyes) come in
Griffin: hey are you and josh busy today?
Jaden: I don't think so why?
Griffin: Kio and I woke up with the idea of going to the beach today it's been a while since we've gone out and done something
Jaden: yeah I am down let me wake up josh and lex
Griffin: alright I am going to wake up the rest of the boys and start loading the car
Jaden: okay
(Griffin closes the door and Jaden leans over and pecks josh on the lips)
Josh: (smiles) good morning
Jaden: morning
Josh: what time is it?
Jaden: I don't know griffin woke me up with the idea of going to the beach you down?
Josh: hell yeah we haven't done a beach day in forever
Jaden: alright I'll wake up lex
Josh: okay I am going to get up and change (gets off the bed and walks over to his closet)
Jaden: lex time to wake up (lightly shakes her)
Lexie: why...
Jaden: we are going to the beach today
Lexie: okayyyy (opens her eyes)
Jaden: start getting ready yeah?
Lexie: okay what about classes with Rafy? And can we bring buddy?
Josh: you'll skip class today and instead it'll just be a family day and it's not a dog beach princess but can you walk her when your done getting dressed?
Lexie: yeah sure (walks out of the room)
Jaden: at least she woke up in a better mood today
Josh: probably because she didn't have therapy today (jokes)
Lexie's pov
I walked into my room and over to my closet and started looking for a bikini to wear and chose a light purple and blue strapless bikini top with a matching bottom, walked into the bathroom and changed into it but looked at my reflection in the mirror and instantly felt insecure in it. What was I thinking? My stomach is not flat enough for this and my legs aren't skinny enough either I look horrible so I quickly took it off and put on a neon pink halter top one piece bathing suit with a pair of shorts and some sandals. Grabbed buddy and her leash and walked downstairs to see the boys putting stuff in the trunk of the car.
End of pov
Lexie: don't forget to bring the volleyball
Bryce: already in the car morning kiddo (kisses the top of her head) are you going to walk buddy?
Lexie: yeah
Bryce: okay just down the street alright
Lexie: yup
Lexie's pov
I plugged my headphones into my phone and put it on shuffle and started walking buddy down the street when I saw the black car again. It wasn't around the house yesterday so I thought the stalker was gone but I guess not... I kept looking into the car hoping that the person would just stay inside and not try anything. Buddy finally finished doing her business and I quickly walked back to the house but not without looking over my shoulder every few minutes until I got back to the house and saw the boys getting into the triller van.
End of pov
Lexie: guys
Boys: yeah
Lexie: stalker's back
Noah: where?
Lexie: I don't want to make it obvious but look a few houses down
(Noah looks at where she's directing and notices the car)
Noah: alright I'll put buddy in the house and you get in the car (takes buddy from her)
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
A few minutes later we were all in the triller van on the way to Santa Monica beach because were also going to go to the pier. On the way there they blasted music with the windows down and I was just looking out the window lost in my thoughts as usual until we pulled into a parking lot one hour later and got out of the van. We were walking towards the pier when we heard the familiar voice of fletcher... how does he find us every single time!!! I felt jaden hold my hand and josh grabbed the other so I was in the middle of them as we were walking.
End of pov
Fletcher: hey guys how are you? Haven't seen you since the day you had breakfast with the hype house
Boys: hey fletch
Fletcher: what have you guys been up to?
Blake: well Bryce just launched his PAU club right Bryce?
Bryce: yeah sign up and get exclusive content and giveaways just check out PAU Club.com
Fletcher: nice nice how's Addison haven't seen her around lately
Bryce: she's been busy filming but I miss her
Fletcher: that's cute yo griffin, Kio congrats on the relationship
(Griffin and Kio are holding hands)
Griffin: thanks man
Fletcher: when did you realize you had feelings for each other?
Kio: It's one of those things where they kind of hit you out of nowhere but you know they are there
Fletcher: alright alright, Jaden when's the new album coming?
Jaden: soon we want to keep it a secret a little bit longer but soon
Fletcher: josh what about you? Any new products you can share?
Josh: well the announcement that I partnered with Mark Walburg came our so I can't wait for that and some really cool stuff with triller is happening as well
Fletcher: that's awesome guys how about you Lexie? I heard your going to do this dance school now fans wanted me to ask you about it
Lexie: yeah but I am not going to give away the name of the school or anything like that but I am dancing so I am happy
Fletcher: that's good to hear thanks for your time guys
Noah: yeah of course fletch
Anthony: is it just me or was fletch less intrusive this time around
Josh: he was definitely less intrusive but to be fair we've also managed to stay out of the drama for a while now
Griffin: thank god
(They get to the pier and buy their tickets)
Jaden: what do you want to do first lex?
Lexie: that roller coaster over there (points to it)
Josh: okay
Lexie's pov
We did the rollercoaster which was called west coaster, then we did shark frenzy which only had two people per ride so I decided to ride it with Q and we had water guns so we got to spray our opponent which was Blake and Noah. After that we did the sea dragon, inkie's scrambler which is a really weird name but it's like this rollercoaster that rotates too, we were lucky it didn't last long because Kio didn't look too good to be honest so we took a break from the rides and the boys wanted to get snacks so we went up to the snack bar. Five minutes into the line someone taps Bryce on the shoulder.
End of pov
Fan 1: excuse me but can I take a picture with you guys?!
Bryce: yeah of course (turns to the rest of the boys) guys let's take a picture with (turns to her) what's your name?
Fan 1: Ella
Bryce: let's take a pic with Ella
Boys: okay
Lexie: I am going to take the funnel flakes and find a table (looks at Jaden)
Jaden: okay
Ella: wait Lexie can you please please take the picture? (Fake smiles)
Lexie: sure why not (takes the phone out of her hands) alright smile
(They take the picture and the boys grab the funnel cakes while Ella takes her phone and whispers in Lexie's ear)
Ella: word of advice if you want to wear shorts like that make sure you have the legs for it (takes the phone and walks away)
Lexie's pov
Ella walked away and I turned to look at the boys were grabbing the funnel cakes when another fan stopped them for a picture and then another one and another one and eventually the line wasn't for the snack bar anymore it was for the boys and the employees couldn't care less because it meant promo for the fair. I sighed and remembered the reason we barely go out. I was scrolling through my phone when u felt a presence set next to me so I looked up and saw two girls about my age... this should be good.
End of pov
Lexie: if you want a picture with the boys they are over there (points at them)
Girl 1: oh we already got our pictures but we came to talk to you
Lexie: why...
Girl 2: to tell you to go back to Tennessee where you belong your ruining the sway house
Girl 1: and you ruined the boys relationships how can you live with yourself?
Lexie: first of all
Girl 2: did we say you can speak? No so shut the fuck up and listen your never going to be good enough for social media, the boys or anything else in your life your too broken and pathetic
Lexie's pov
Don't punch them, don't punch them, don't punch them you know what no I am not doing this, I am done restraining myself I grabbed both of them by their fake dyed hair and pull them close to me and whispered in their ear.
End of pov
Lexie: listen just because I haven't dragged your asses to the ground doesn't mean I won't because trust me I will and with no regret so I suggest you both get the fuck away from me before the both of you end up in a hospital
Girl 1: whatever fat bitch (get away from Lexie and looks at the girl in front of her) come on let's go
Girl 2: byee miss piggy
Lexie's pov
They walked away just as the boys were coming to the table after taking pictures with their "fans" and sat next to me with the funnel cakes.
End of pov
Griffin: you want one lex (hands one to her)
(Lexie shakes her head)
Jaden: why not? You used to love them when you were little
Lexie: well I am not little anymore am I Jaden?
Josh: okay what's with the attitude Lexie he was just asking you a question
Lexie: I know I am sorry I just, can we go to the beach now?
Griffin: yeah okay but you would tell us if something was bothering you right?
Lexie: hmm (takes out her headphones and puts them in)
Jaden's pov
Okay did I miss something? Lexie was fine am hour ago and now she's pissed I know she's a teen and her mood is all over the place but still what's up with her? I watched as she placed her headphones in her ears and got up from the table and started walking off towards the beach and we started following her. I was still thinking about how she acted when I was pulled out of my thoughts by arms being wrapped around my waist and felt a kiss on my cheek.
End of pov
Josh: what are you thinking about babe?
Jaden: is Lexie acting off to you?
Josh: why? Because she didn't want the funnel cake?
Jaden: yeah but it's not just that her behavior quickly changed
Josh: do you think something happened while we were in line with the fans?
Jaden: I don't know but let's just wait and see if she says something I don't want to push
Josh: okay
Lexie's pov
I got to the beach first and looked behind me to see the boys slightly in my vision getting caught by fans who wanted to take pictures so I just got my towel out of my bag and lied it down on the sand making sure it was straight and not crinkled because I wanted to avoid the sand getting on it. I took off my shorts and sat on the towel and looked around at all the other girls with their perfect bikini bodies and then I looked down at myself and sighed and thought to myself I am never going to be as pretty as an LA girl. Who am I kidding I am a short 4'10 teenager from Tennessee, sure I got blessed with having blue eyes and brown hair like my brother but that was the only pretty gene I got from my family... the rest of it I didn't get so lucky. I just stayed in my little thought bubble until I felt someone shake my shoulders and I was finally out of my trance.
End of pov
Lexie: hmm what?
Bryce: we've been calling your name now for five minutes where did you go kid?
Lexie: Saturn where else would I have gone
Bryce: no for real you okay?
Lexie: I am fine would you stop asking me that
Noah: okay okay how about we play some volleyball you down?
Lexie: hell yeah but I call being on the winning team
Josh: so mine then since you know I am never lose josh
Lexie: Jaden literally beat you in pong and cooper beat you before that so are you really named never lose josh anymore
Bryce: kid's got a point
Josh: haha funny let's see if your laughing when I do this (walks over to her and picks her up and starts walking towards the water)
Lexie: no josh please it's cold! Put me down please please!
Josh: say I am never lose josh
Lexie: never (Jokes)
Josh: okay (starts letting her slip)
Lexie: (gripping) no that water's cold (whines)
Josh: what's my name?
Lexie: fine fine never lose josh there you win now put me down
Josh: okay (drops her in the water)
Lexie: ahhh! (Lands in the water) ass hole
Jaden: hey! Respect Lexie
Lexie: he just threw me in the cold water (whines)
Jaden: I don't care
Lexie: ugh (turns to josh and splashes him) come here! (gets out of the water and starts chasing him
Josh: shit sway baby's coming after me (runs away)
Lexie: come back here! (Chases him)
Quinton: not so fast little one (catches her)
Lexie: no fair (pouts)
Anthony: alright are we playing volleyball or not?
Everyone: yeah
Lexie's pov
I ended up on the team with josh, Jaden, griffin and Kio while the other team was Anthony, Bryce, Noah, Blake and Quinton. We threw the ball over the net for an hour before we called the game over and of course Josh's ego just had to go up even more because our team won. I went to sit down on the towel to tan while the boys went in the water. Five minutes into tanning I turned to my side and I saw a pail and a shovel and I remembered how much I loved making sand castles as a kid and this red pail and yellow shovel were just in the sand with no one around so I got off my towel and I picked up them up and I started making Castles.
End of pov
Ten minutes later
(The boys get out of the water and walk over to Lexie who slipped into little space while making the castle)
Kio: what are you doing lex?
Lexie: I making castles want to do it with me? (Looks up at him)
Kio: sure princess
Lexie: yay! (Claps her hands)
(The boys laugh and they all pitch and start helping her make the castles)
Lexie: bubba
Jaden: yeah
Lexie: help find shells for castle pleaseeee
Jaden: haha okay come on (stands up and takes her hand)
Lexie: be back going to find shells!
Boys: okay
(Jaden and Lexie go into the water and start looking for shells)
Lexie's pov
I look for pretty shells when I felt something slimy on my feet and I squealed and grabbed onto bubba who looked down at me.
End of pov
Jaden: what is it baby?
Lexie: slimy thing on my foot
Jaden: baby it was probably a small fish they like to swim here sometimes
Lexie: fishy?
Jaden: yeah come look (crouches down and sits her on his lap for a minute and points) see those little things swimming there?
Lexie: yeah
Jaden: those are tiny fish
Lexie: I want to see fishy! (Gets off Jaden's lap and walks over to it) look bubba it's a fishy!
Jaden: (laughs) yeah but come on let's look for the shells okay?
Lexie: okay
(They start walking again and Lexie's picking up the sand with her hands and looking for shells)
Lexie: look bubba pink shell!
Jaden: it's really pretty you want to use that one?
Lexie: yeah and a couple more
Jaden: okay
Lexie: look bubba it's Patrick from spongebob!
Jaden: what is Patrick called though?
Lexie: star fishy!!
Jaden: good job put it back in the water though because it's still alive
Lexie: okay bubba (puts it down)
Jaden: what else do you see?
Lexie: a green one! (Picks it up) it's pretty right bubba?
Jaden: yeah we can add that one, okay pick a few more and then we can go okay?
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
Bubba and I walk until I find a pink shell with white stripes, a purple one and a brown and white one. Then the water started getting cold and bubba said it was time to get out so we walked back to the boys and finish the castle a few minutes later. Bubba handed me a towel and say it was time to go because it was getting late so I started drying myself when I looked in front of me and saw this blonde really pretty girl.
End of pov
Lexie: bubba
Jaden: yeah
Lexie: why can't I be pretty like her? (Points to the girl in front)
Blake: because you don't need to be pretty like her your already pretty
Lexie: but she really really pretty
Griffin: and so are you
Lexie: not like her dough
Jaden: listen to me princess you are pretty just as you, you don't have to compare yourself to anyone okay?
Lexie: okay bubba
Jaden: good now let's get going it's cold
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
We left the beach and got into the car and I close my eyes on the way home and took a nap.
End of pov
One hour later
(Anthony lightly shakes Lexie on the shoulder)
Lexie: hmm (opens her eyes)
Anthony: we are home
Lexie: carry me I am too tired to walk (whines)
Anthony: even when your not in little space your still a child (picks her up and carries her inside and puts her on the couch)
Griffin: Lexie you should probably go shower while we start making dinner
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
I walked upstairs to my room and opened the door and buddy started jumping up and down when she saw me so I picked her up and kissed her fur before putting her down and walking to my drawers and pulled out a pair of pajamas and walked into the my bathroom. I took off my bathing suit and looked in the mirror and thought about what the girls said... I really do need to lose weight if I am going to be even remotely accepted by the public so I just need to not eat or at least purge from now on. I turned on the water and took a quick shower with the boiling hot water and put my pj's on and walked back downstairs to see the boys had already showered too because their hair was slightly damp and griffin was in the kitchen cooking chicken on the stove.
End of pov
Blake: the new coming to America movie just came out so let's have a movie night
Boys: alright
Twenty minutes later
Griffin: food is ready!
Lexie's pov
We sat down to eat while I just picked up my fork and played with it until I felt the fork get taken out of my hands.
End of pov
Griffin: why aren't you eating?
Lexie: guess I am not hungry
Noah: you barely ate today how are you not hungry?
(Lexie shrugs her shoulders)
Jaden: well you need to eat that's not up for discussion
Lexie: please bubba I am tired I don't want to eat
Noah: how about just half of it?
Lexie: but
Blake: it's either all or half your choice
Josh: or one of us will feed you
Lexie: (mumbles) I am not a baby
Kio: then eat
Lexie: fine (takes the fork and takes a bite)
Ten minutes later
Lexie: is this enough?
Josh: yeah that's fine
Lexie: okay i am going to go upstairs and get something before we watch the movie
Boys: okay
Lexie's pov
I went upstairs to my room to make it look less suspicious and went to my bathroom, turned the sink on so the waters was running, opened the toilet seat up, stuck my fingers down my throat and gagged. I hated every single minute of it to be honest it hurt my throat afterwards, tears were in my eyes and I knew if the boys ever found out they would be so disappointed but I pushed those thoughts aside because I need to be skinny so I washed my face and walked downstairs and pretended like I was fine. I cuddled with josh and Jaden on the couch while the other boys scattered around the living room to watch the movie. Halfway through it I felt Jaden put the pacifier in my mouth and instead of rejecting it I just sucked on it because it comforted me and I closed my eyes once the credits started rolling.
End of pov
Jaden: we are going to head to bed
Boys: okay
Josh: night
Them: night
(Jaden picks up Lexie in his arms and carries her to their room and places her on his bed and then wraps his arms around josh)
End of pov
Josh: do you think being at the beach triggered Lexie in a way?
Jaden: in what sense
Josh: well did you notice how she barely wanted to eat today and when she was in little space she compared herself
Jaden: yeah but little kids tend to do that too
Josh: I guess
Jaden: look we'll just keep an eye on her for now and if we notice anything else we talk to her about it okay?
Josh: okay (pecks him on the lips) let's get some sleep
Jaden: sounds good to me (turns the lights off)

*hey guys! Sorry for the week break for midterms...  I think this is the longest I have been gone since I published the story and so far it's been 56 chapters so not bad 😂 also thank you so much for all the recent love and support I have so many more ideas coming up but as always I love hearing your ideas too so my messages are always open :)
