(Josh picks her up from the chair and carries her upstairs to the office room)
Josh's pov
I sat Lexie on the bed that we had in the office too and five minutes later my phone started ringing and it was my first call of the day which was with check cross studios my production company with mark Walburg about the unscripted document series we are starting to film. It's not associated with them but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't interfere with the contract and after talking to the manager they said it would be no problem. After talking with that company then I had a call with triller to see how we can make triller live more interesting by giving each creator their own segment a week so far I have one, Bryce has one, Kio has one and griffin oh and we just got Thomas petrou to do one too since we are cool now. Halfway through I heard Lexie start to whine so I asked the manager to give me a second.
End of pov
Josh: what's up lex?
Lexie: I want cuddles (makes granny hands)
Josh: (sighs) come here
(Lexie crawls over to josh and sits on his lap)
Josh's pov
Once lex was situated I got back to the call with the manager and finished that one and then I had a FaceTime with Michael to talk about this new dog food company we were going to invest in with snoop dog, which is wild to say now that I think about it.
End of pov
Josh: what's up Micheal
Micheal: hey josh how are you?
Josh: good how about you?
Michael: good I'll be over with Rafy in a bit I just wanted to give you an update that the company website for the dog food is almost up so you can start promoting on social media and stuff
Josh: okay thanks for letting me know
Michael: is Lexie on your lap? (Looks at her)
Josh: yeah say hi Lexie
Lexie: hi (waves her hand)
Michael: hey Lexie, (looks at josh) don't let her distract you okay?
Josh: don't worry she's fine and I am focused okay?
Michael: okay talk to you later josh
Josh: later
One hour later
Bryce: JOSH!!!
Josh: (talking on the phone) sorry can you give me a second (puts the phone down and opens the door) what? This better be important
Bryce: oh trust me your going to want to see this
Josh: give me five minutes to finish this call yeah?
Bryce: okay
Josh's pov
I closed the door and got back on the call with Lexie who was no tracing the tattoo I had on my arm and talking to the manager of another company I was considering on investing and ten minutes later the call ended and I had fifteen minutes before a Skype meeting so I picked up lex and walked downstairs to see the boys standing around the counter watching a video.
End of pov
Josh: what's up you guys?
Bryce: see for yourself (hands him the phone)
Josh's pov
It was a TikTok on Mads account with a Taylor swift song, the first half of the Video was clips of her and Jaden in a relationship then the second part of the video was mine and Josh's relationship but that's not the part that bothered me the part that bothered me was the last two minutes which was with Jaden and Nessa doing press interviews and a paparazzi video from a long ass time ago and she captioned it "guess I am not the only one that got cheated on sorry" and then tagged me in it.
End of pov
Josh: what the actual fuck!!!
(Lexie whimpers and makes grabby hands for Bryce who grabs her from josh and holds her)
Lexie: dada mad?
Bryce: yeah but not at you sweetie at someone else don't worry
Josh: has Mads completely lost her mind or what??
Blake: I don't know but you don't believe her right?
Josh: no of course not but what the fuck is she thinking
Griffin: who knows she's gone completely psycho
Josh: Clearly (his phone rings) I can't deal with this right now I have a meeting (walks upstairs)
Noah: Jaden wouldn't do that right?
Griffin: no
Blake: I don't know he's been pretty distant lately...
Griffin: that's because he's been at the studio with Quinton
Anthony: yeah plus Jaden loves josh too much to do that Mads is just jealous once again and trying to start drama
Bryce: so what do we do?
Griffin: right now ignore it especially you
Bryce: why me?
Griffin: you love going off on Twitter and we don't need things getting any worse
Scene change
(Quinton knocks on the glass door of the booth and Indicates for Jaden to get out of the booth which he does)
Jaden: what's up?
Quinton: your ex has officially lost it (hands him the phone)
Jaden: are you kidding me (groans in frustration)
Quinton: what are you going to do? And don't forget Travis wants you to post the announcement of you two going on kimmel...
Jaden: fuck I forgot about that I swear Mads just knows how to fuck up my life even more and we haven't been together for months now and she has the audacity to pull this shit (takes out his phone and texts josh)
Text convo
Jaden: baby I know you probably saw the video by now and I promise nothing has happened nor will ever happen between Ness and I Mads is tripping on some shit clearly
End of text
(Jaden waits five minutes to get a response but after no answer he sighs and gets back into the booth)
Quinton: should we just go home Jay?
Jaden: we can't at least not yet Travis really wants me to finish these last two songs and then we can go
Quinton: okay
Scene change
Josh's pov
I just finished the Skype meeting and picked up my phone to see Jaden texted me but I didn't want to respond just yet, instead I went back to TikTok to see Mads now deleted the video. I rolled my eyes of course she did she just wanted fucking attention and to start drama so I went on TikTok room and I saw fan's commenting "we are so sorry josh" "you didn't deserve him" "once a cheater always a cheater" "what kind of person cheats on their boyfriends ex?" "Jaden's a piece of shit" and then there were people who were actually shipping them it made me sick to my stomach and I could feel a few tears slide down my cheek and quickly wiped them when I heard a knock on the door. I opened and saw Bryce with Lexie in his arms who was making grabby hands towards me.
End of pov
Lexie: dada dada dada (leans towards him)
Bryce: sorry bro she's really clingy and only wants to be with you right now
Josh: it's okay (takes her out of his arms)
Bryce: are you okay? Really?
Josh: yeah it just hurts to see it you know...
Bryce: don't read those comments and don't jump to conclusions before talking to Jaden alright
Josh: yeah I know
Bryce: I am going to go film with Taylor are you going to be okay?
Josh; yeah I'll be fine
Bryce: okay call me if you need anything
Josh: I will don't worry
Lexie's pov
Dada was holding me and I could tell he was a little sad after talking with bice and I just wanted to hug him so after he closed the door I wrap my hands around his neck and lay on his chest.
End of pov
Lexie: dada sad?
Josh: I'll be okay don't worry now what do you say we play until my next meeting yeah?
Lexie: otay! Can I get buddy and kitty?
Josh: you know what I think we should go walk buddy and get out of the house what do you say?
Lexie: otay and then play with kitty?
Josh: yeah
(Josh walks out of the room and grabs buddy's leash and clips it onto her collar and they walk out of the house)
Lexie: dada
Josh: yeah
Lexie: buddy fur is white and black wight?
Josh: yeah what about her collar?
Lexie: pink!
Josh: good job uh what color is the sky?
Lexie: blue!
Josh's pov
The rest of the walk I just kept asking Lexie questions she obviously knew the answer to but because she was in little space she got excited after getting every question right and honestly it was just a good distraction from my thoughts when I felt my phone vibrate and at first I thought I was late for my meeting but then sighed in relief when I saw it was Dave.
End of pov
Phone convo
Josh: hey Dave what's up?
Dave: hey josh I am here with Bri and we literally just saw the video are you okay?
Josh: honestly I think I am still kind of in shock with the whole thing... I knew Mads was crazy but not this crazy
Dave: yeah I know but listen if your up for it and only if your up for it we can do emergency BFF'S podcast
Josh: uh yeah why not but I can only speak for myself and my opinion on the whole thing because I haven't even talked to Jaden today
Dave: yeah no worries, what time do you want to do it?
Josh: I have one more meeting and then I am free but I also have Lexie in little space today and she's extremely clingy today
Dave: yeah that's fine no worries
Josh: okay I'll talk to you later
Dave: alright
End of phone convo
Lexie's pov
Dada and I walk buddy for a little longer before going back home and back to the office where he sat me on the bed and hand me da iPad so I can watch someting while he did da meeting. I went to Netflix and clicked on big time rush and started singing da teme song until dada said "shh" with his hand to his lips and I glare at him. How dare he top me fwom singing da gweatest teme song ever, but then it finished and da show started. Two episodes later dada finish his meeting and I make grabby hands to him again and he sits me on his lap and grabs his computer and sets up da camera and a few minutes later a man and a blond girl pop on the screen.
End of pov
Dave: hey josh and Lexie
Lexie: who you?
Josh: she hasn't met you in little space so technically she doesn't "know you"
Bri: oh got it got it well it's nice to meet you Lexie I am Briana and this is my friend Dave
Lexie: hewo (waves her hand)
Dave: okay so catch us on everything, you watch the video which we'll play in just a second and you can close your eyes if you don't want to see it again
Josh: I will say the first time I watch it I just.. we'll talk about it after but I am going to cover Lexie's eyes just because I don't want her see Jaden and automatically assume something since she's you know "little" right now
Lexie: bubba?
Josh: yeah don't worry about it princess (covers her eyes) okay okay the video
Dave: okay so she posts the video then deletes it now what's going on
Josh: okay so first thing I am going to say is that I am always going to be the guy that believes my boyfriend over the exes especially Mads because she's already done some crazy ass shit off camera that I am not going to say just yet.. maybe Jaden and I will expose her though after this I don't know (laughs)
Dave: well we talked an hour ago so have you heard anything new?
Josh: honestly no because I haven't talked to Jaden yet today he texted me but I haven't answered yet which I'll admit kind of a dick move but I think I am still kind of in shock a little bit, and I don't really associate myself with nessa anymore because of shit that also went down behind the scenes however I fucking love Jaden and if making music with nessa furthers his career then I am going to support him but at the same time seeing that video and seeing the ship comments still hurt
(Josh explains while Lexie is playing with his chain)
Dave: so Jaden reached out and was like this is bullshit pretty much
Josh: yeah instantly
Dave: so In your opinion what's going on?
Josh: basically I have come to the conclusion that Mads is tripping her fucking dick off dude like absolutely this is like I got my life affected so I am going to affect other people's lives even though they haven't been together for months now and it just doesn't make sense I don't get where it's coming from because at one point she was insisting on her and Jaden were going to get back together
Dave: after they had been broken up?
Josh: yeah while josh and I were in the relationship so like I get the beginning of the TikTok whatever dissing me okay i don't care about that but then to say my current boyfriend hooked with my ex who was also at one point her friend a long time ago makes absolutely no sense but at the end of the day the entire truth is going to come out whether it's today or a couple days
Dave: to be honest it's weirdly an easy claim because they are making music together now
Josh: and the ship comments which I didn't give a fuck about at the time but now after seeing this video it just gets you thinking bad thoughts
Lexie: dada
Josh: yes baby (looks at her)
Lexie: you said bad word
Josh: I know dada's sorry he won't do it again (looks back at the screen)
Dave: but anyways it's a mindfuck
Josh: yeah total fucking mindfuck
Lexie: dada stop it (hits his arm)
Josh: hey no hitting
Lexie: you said bad word
Josh: I know but that's because
Lexie: because...
Josh: here's my phone just play on it for now okay? (Hands it to her)
Lexie: okay
Josh: anyways as I was saying I have had the biggest mind fuck of a day, like today has been the biggest mindfuck of the day while taking business calls and taking care of Lexie who's been in little space all day and is just in a really clingy mood and mediate this entire thing
Dave: yeah it's crazy to think your still a teenager who has to deal with high school drama because that's exactly what this is just on a much larger scale to the point where I am ending company meeting (jokes) but at the end of day someone's being the asshole here
Josh: yeah it just sucks because she's playing with people's feelings like me for example I am just trying to be in a relationship with the guy that I love literally would die for him if I had to and have known him since the start of LA and even before that since we did the lights out tour it's fucked up to try and bring all this drama into it honestly it's left me speechless and I don't know it's just hard and my hands are trying not to shake because I am holding lex and I don't want to scare her or want her to understand anything about what's going on today, in a weird way I am honestly glad that she's been in little space the whole day because If she wasn't she'd want to do two things one jump to conclusions and kick Jaden's ass or two be worried the whole day about whether or not Jaden and I are going to break up
Dave: are you going to break up with Jaden?
Josh: dude I don't even want to think about that right now... the only thing I'll say is if it really did happen these motherfuckers are going to breed a demon that's all I am going to say
Dave: my gut is saying and just by the way you two interact with each other and the last time you were on the pod I don't think he would do that
Josh: no no I don't think he would either which is why we need to talk tonight
Dave: yeah no worries I know you have a long night ahead so I'll let you go
Josh: thanks Dave see you guys next week
Briana: bye Lexie
Lexie: bye bye (waves)
Lexie's pov
Dada turned the laptop off and looked at me trying to put his chain in my mouth but he grabbed my hands and pulled me way from it and I let out a whine until he stood up and walked over to da table by da bed and gave me my Paci. I put it my mouth and started sucking on it and lay head in the crook of his neck as he went to lay on the bed with my head on his chest and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
End of pov
A few hours later
(The front door opens, Jaden and Quinton walk inside the house to see griffin, Kio, Blake, Noah and Anthony sitting on the couch)
Jaden: where is he? (Looks at them)
Griffin: upstairs him and Lexie are taking a nap
Jaden: (sighs) how is he? (Sits on the couch)
Kio: tired but he's okay I think
Blake: I am going to ask you something and you can't get mad alright
Jaden: no I didn't hook up with her if that's what your about to ask me
Griffin: good otherwise Bryce would have kicked your ass
Jaden: trust me I know now if you excuse me I am going to go upstairs and see my two favorite people in the world
Boys: simp
Jaden: shut up
Jaden's pov
I walked up to our room and the first thing I saw was Lexie curled on Josh's lap sleeping with a pacifier in her mouth so I knew she was in little space before she fell asleep and then I looked at josh who was also sleeping. I ran my fingers through his hair and kissed his cheek and he opened his big blue eyes that held sadness in them and I felt a pain of guilt hit my chest and it wasn't guilt like I did anything but it was guilt that it was my ex that did this.
End of pov
Josh: hey (with his raspy voice)
Jaden: hey can we talk?
Josh: yeah give me a second (gently takes Lexie off his lap and lays her on the bed) let's go to the balcony (whispers)
Jaden: okay
(They walk out to the balcony)
Josh: I know you wouldn't do anything Jaden but I still need to ask and hear the answer come out of your mouth (looks into his eyes)
Jaden: I know so ask me
Josh: you didn't hook up with Ness did you?
Jaden: no and I'll tell you why I love you so much josh that I could never cheat on you, I promise that as long as you keep loving me and wanting to be in a relationship I will be faithful to you no matter what
Josh: I love you so much Jaden and I want us to have a future together no matter what (walks over and kisses him)
Jaden: good because I want the same and I promise once we are older I'll put a ring on that finger and make you my husband but until then I hope this works (pulls out a promise ring)
Josh: babe you didn't have to (voice cracks)
Jaden: I know but I wanted to, after I left the studio I went with Quinton to buy it because as long as you have this promise ring you'll know no matter what comes our way my love for you is real (slides it on him)
Josh: I love you so much and I was so scared that I was going to lose you.. that's honestly what fucking killed me thinking that I lost you (cries)
Jaden: (pulls him in for a hug) you'll never lose me I promise I am yours and your mine forever
Josh: forever
(Jaden leans over and presses his lips to Josh's and they start kissing until a cry breaks them out of their kiss and they walk inside the room)
Lexie: bubba your back!! (Gets off the bed and runs to him)
Jaden: yeah how was your day baby?
Lexie: I spent it with dada
Jaden: wasn't dada working? (Looks at him)
Josh: yeah but she was with me all day someone was very clingy today
Jaden: is that right? (Looks at her)
Lexie: yeah
Jaden: well I missed you so your mine how
Josh: no she's mine
Lexie: no I am bubba's
Josh: I am officially offended (jokes)
Lexie: and dada's so bubba and dada's
Jaden: fine I guess I could share her (jokes) no but seriously we should go downstairs and tell the boys we are good
Josh: good idea
(Josh, and Jaden go downstairs with Lexie in his arms and sees that that Bryce is now home)
Bryce: so do I have to beat Jaden's ass or no? (Jokes)
Josh: no Bryce (shakes his head)
Bryce: good because I would have killed him
Lexie: no bice no killing bubba
Jaden: you heard the kid
Bryce: fine you live but I swear you hurt josh at any point and your dead
Jaden: understood
Josh: now who's hungry
Quinton: I am!
Lexie's pov
Griff griff order pizza and when it got here bubba cut it in tiny pieces and dada fed me with a fork until I ate one whole slice and a little bit of a second one. After we all sat on da couch and watch da new Disney movie raya and after we all say goodnight to each other and went to bed. Bubba was going to put me in my bed but I kept whining until dada said to just put me in dere bed and I give Jaden a smile because I won. He put my in da middle of their bed and handed me my stuffy and paci and put it in my mouth and dada looked at me and ran his fingers through my hair.
