Friday
Knock knock knock
Jaden: (groans) it's open
Rafy: (walks in and whispers) sorry Jaden I didn't mean to wake you guys up but do you want lex to do school today? She's pretty far behind as it is...
Jaden: (sighs) yeah I'll wake her up and tell her to meet you downstairs
Rafy: it's okay I can wake her up
Jaden: you sure?
Rafy: yeah
Jaden: hmm okay (closes his eyes and wraps his arms around Josh's waist and lays on him)
Lexie's pov
I felt someone lightly shaking me and I whined because I didn't want to wake up just yet but after some more shaking I was starting to get annoyed so I opened my eyes and turned around to see Rafy.
End of pov
Lexie: ugh fuck off (pulls the sheets over her head)
Rafy: Lexie we really need to do school today come on
Lexie: no now go away and leave me alone
Rafy: please don't make this difficult the boys are really tired and I wouldn't want to wake them up
Lexie's pov
I thought about what Rafy said and looked over at josh and Jaden who were sleeping in each other's arms and then looked back at Rafy and thought to myself fine if she wants to wake me up early for school then I'll be the most difficult student she has to deal with today. I got up from my bed which I am guessing one of them put me in so they could have the bed to themselves and followed Rafy downstairs where the cameras were already filming. I blew a kiss to the camera and then flipped It off just for fun.
End of pov
Kio: hey I saw that missy
Lexie: oops my bad (says sarcastically)
Griffin: what's up with you?
Lexie: oh I don't know maybe if you just got woken up and forced to do school you would be in a bad mood too (crosses her arms)
Griffin: to bad kid at least your not like every other kid who has to wake up in the morning and take the bus to school everyday
Lexie: I could be but you guys decided not to
Blake: because you would have gotten kicked out the first week
Lexie: nu uh
Blake: hmm the only reason your not getting in trouble at high water is because you like dance
Griffin: hmm let's not forget she already got suspended from high water
Lexie: that wasn't my fault I keep trying to tell you she provoked me
Noah: yeah you've told us but you still know better now stop stalling, go take your pill, eat breakfast and then do school with Rafy
Lexie: who says I am stalling?
Anthony: we can tell your stalling
Lexie: no I am not
Anthony: yes you are
Lexie: no
Anthony: yes
Lexie: no
Anthony: yes
Lexie: no
Anthony: no
Lexie: yes
Anthony: (smirks) ha you lost now go do what Noah said
Lexie: I don't want to (whines)
Griffin: now Lexie Marie
Lexie: ughhh fineee (walks out of the living room and into the kitchen)
A few minutes later
Lexie: GRIFFIN!!!
Griffin: I am in the living room you don't have to scream (walks into the kitchen)
Lexie: why the fuck did you put the pills so high you know I am tiny and can't reach (jumps to try and reach it)
Griffin: (reaches his hand up and hands it to her) because I don't want you trying to take more then you should
Lexie: then why did you come and tell me to take the pill if couldn't reach the bottle in the first place? (Looks at him)
Griffin: because
Lexie: exactly
Griffin: (groans) here take it and have some breakfast (hands her the pill)
(Rafy walks into the kitchen)
Rafy: ready to start lex? I have everything set up
Lexie: do I have a choice?
Griffin: no and raf can stay with her until she eats?
Rafy: yeah no problem she can eat while I explain the lesson
Griffin: okay be good (kisses the top of her head and walks out of the kitchen)
Lexie's pov
Once griffin walked out I opened the pantry and didn't find anything appetizing so I closed it and opened the fridge and didn't see anything appetizing either.
End of pov
Lexie: I don't want anything
Rafy: you know you need to eat though
Lexie: but I don't want anything that we have
Rafy: there was cereal inside the pantry
Lexie: okay and?
Rafy: and have that
Lexie: I don't want it though
Rafy: fine how about a sandwich there's bread in the freezer
Lexie: I don't want that either
Rafy: how about we run to Starbucks before we start teaching
Lexie: deal
Rafy: okay let's go
(Rafy grabs her keys and walks out of the kitchen with Lexie where Bryce and Blake are filming)
Rafy: I am going to make a Starbucks run do you guys want anything
Bryce: yeah we'll text you thanks Rafy
Rafy: no problem
Lexie's pov
Rafy and I got in the car and started driving to Starbucks and we just talked on the way and listened to music and I have to admit Rafy's cool when she's not trying to teach me. Fifteen minutes later we got to Starbucks and I got a butter croissant with a s'mores frappe and we drove back to the house. When we parked in the driveway the first thing we see are two blocks of ice and Blake and Noah wearing helmets...
end of pov
Lexie: do I even want to know?
Bryce: we need to make content
Lexie: (blinks her eyes) I will never understand how you guys have fans (walks inside)
Noah: are you going to start classes with her?
Rafy: yeah wish me luck (jokes)
Boys: good luck
Twenty minutes later
Lexie's pov
Rafy was in the middle of explaining something called slope intercept form at least I think that's what it's called because I wasn't really paying attention she lost me after trying to explain the graph and numbers on it. I was trying not to fall asleep while she was explaining when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I looked up to see Rafy to into explaining the page so I decided to look at the text real quick.
End of pov
X: hey lex it's James I got your number from Clare and I was wondering if I could come over later so we can start the choreography
Lexie: hey James I'll ask my brother but I think it should be fine
James: okay cool I'll text you when school is over
Lexie: alright
End of text convo
Rafy: Lexie get off your phone
Lexie: (whispers) damn it
Rafy: hand it over
Lexie: no I promise I won't go on it
Rafy: one more chance and you have to tell me what the formula for the slope intercept form
Lexie: (scoffs) if you think I understand anything you just said your funny
Rafy: (sighs) Lexie can we have one class where you don't make things difficult
Lexie: hmm let me think no
Rafy: I am going to explain it one more time and then I want you to actually do the worksheet understand?
Lexie: hmm
Rafy: so the formula for slope intercept form is Y= MX+B
Lexie: Y equals what?
Rafy: don't worry I am going to explain so let's say we have this gray right (draws a graph on paper)
Lexie: hmm
Rafy: and there's dot number which are on coordinates (2,2) and now we have another dot on coordinates (3,4)
Lexie: okay...
Rafy: now the first 2 is going to be considered Y1 and the second 2 is considered Y2, and 3 is going to be Y1 and 4 is Y2 are you with me so far?
Lexie: sure
Rafy: the next step is Y2 with Y1 which are numbers...
Lexie: aren't you supposed to tell me your the one teaching
Rafy: yes but I want you to understand it so which numbers are Y2 and Y1?
Lexie: 2 and 2
Rafy: no
Lexie: but you just said Y1 and Y2 are 2,2
Rafy: yes but we are subtracting Y2 and Y1 which makes it 4-2
Lexie: I already have a headache (throws her head on the table)
One hour later
Scene change
Josh's pov
I woke up feeling little kisses on my face so I opened my eyes and smiled to see Jaden looking at me with his addicting blue eyes that I could stare at all day without ever getting bored. I leaned in and pecked him on the lips.
End of pov
Josh: (pulls away) what time is it?
Jaden: eleven thirty
Josh: we slept in! Shit I have a meeting with snoop dog that I can't miss
Jaden: nope I talked to Micheal and told him that after yesterday the both of us are taking a day off with no phones
Josh: really?
Jaden: yup (smiles and kisses him) so first things first let's go downstairs and eat
Josh: sounds good I am starving
(Josh takes Jaden's hand and they walk downstairs to see Lexie arguing with Rafy)
Jaden: hey hey what's going in here?
Lexie: I am stupid that's what's wrong!
Josh: you are not stupid
Lexie: yes I am and nothings going to change that! I am never going to get stupid Y1 and Y2 and m +b whatever the fuck it is I am done!!! (Gets up from the table)
Rafy: Lexie you can't keep quitting every time you get frustrated
Lexie: watch me and while your at it watch me take this piece of paper and rip it in half! (Takes the worksheet and rips it) be lucky I am not shoving it up your ass!!!
(Starts to walk away but Jaden stops her)
Jaden: apologize right now Lexie Marie Hossler you do NOT speak to Rafy that way, I don't care how upset you are, you will not be disrespectful
Lexie: fine (looks at Rafy with sarcasm in her voice) I am sorry you haven't been able to understand that I am not smart and never will be so just quit trying to teach me
(Lexie tries walking away but josh pulls her back and lands two smacks on her ass)
Josh: a proper apology now!
Lexie: (rolls her eyes) fine Rafy I am sorry I was rude and disrespectful
Jaden: you have five minutes to calm down, lose the attitude, come back and apologize to Rafy then go back to do doing your work, I am tired of you quitting every time you get frustrated
Lexie: I don't care Jaden I don't want to do it
Jaden: it's not about what you want, it's about what you need and you need an education
Lexie: half the guys in this house didn't even graduate
Jaden: and that doesn't excuse you from dropping out especially at fifteen now go do what I asked before you get in even more trouble
Lexie: fine (walks away)
Jaden: (looks at Rafy) I am sorry I don't know what got into her
Rafy: it's okay she's been snappy since this morning hopefully she'll stop now
Josh: hopefully but we are going to go eat so call us if you need anything
Rafy: okay I will
(Josh and Jaden walk out of the dining room and into the kitchen where Kio has pie all over him and the boys burst out laughing)
Josh: what happened to you?
Kio: Bryce happened but guess what it's okay because now his robe is ruined (smirks)
Bryce: it was worth putting the pie in your face (laughs)
Kio: I am sure it was (walks over and gives Bryce a hug)
Bryce: dude!!
Kio: now you have pie on you too
Bryce: okay one fuck you and two fuck you
Scene change
Lexie's pov
I was in the bathroom wiping my face with water from the sink and taking a few deep breaths to calm down because I knew that I wasn't going to be able to get out of school today and if I wanted James to come over later I better make sure I don't get in anymore trouble. I walked back downstairs with Rafy and finally another hour later we were done with math, then moved onto science, social studies where I forced myself to stay awake because how boring it was, and English that went by the quickest and we were finally done by two thirty.
End of pov
Lexie: finally! (Sighs in relief)
Rafy: don't forget to do your homework I want both sides of the worksheet done by next Tuesday
Lexie: yeah okay
Rafy: I am serious lex I don't want to see anymore excuses if you need help ask Noah or griffin
Lexie: yeah yeah I got it byee (walks out of the kitchen) JADEN!!! JADEN!!! JADEN!!!
(Jaden and josh are in their room making out when he hears Lexie screaming, he groans and opens the door to scream downstairs)
Jaden: WHAT LEXIE!?
Lexie: CAN A FRIEND FROM SCHOOL COME OVER TODAY!!!
Jaden: YEAH
Lexie: OKAY YOU CAN GO BACK TO HAVING SEX WITH JOSH NOW!!!
Griffin: Lexie!!
Lexie: what? (Looks at him)
Griffin: the cameras remember (points to the camera crew)
Lexie: (laughs) my bad anyway I am going to go get ready
Griffin: not so fast
Lexie: what? (Whines)
Griffin: are you forgetting something?
Lexie: I don't think so...
griffin: it's lunchtime and I am going to order in and out what do you want
Lexie: ew fast food no thanks I am good
Griffin: you need to eat
Lexie: fine get me a Cesar salad with chicken
Griffin: your getting a cheeseburger with fries (orders on his phone)
Lexie: no (whines)
Griffin: yes
Lexie: but
Griffin: no buts deal with it
Lexie: (glares) I hate you (walks upstairs)
Griffin: love you too!
Lexie's pov
I was walking to my room when I heard moaning coming from Jaden and Josh's room and I am pretty sure I gagged in my mouth a little bit. I walked into my room and turned my radio on to block out the noise, I woke up kitty who was currently sleeping on her bed and put food In her bowl then I walked into my closet to look for something to wear. Since I am going to be dancing it needs to be flexible so I put on a tan sports bra with a pair of black tight dance shorts and pulled out my phone to text James.
End of pov
Phone convo
Lexie: hey James my brother said it's cool for you to come over also we have a gate and security so just text me when you are out front so I can let you in
James: okay sounds good send me the Addy
(Lexie texts him the Address)
James: alright I am like ten minutes away
Lexie: okay :)
End of text convo
Lexie's pov
I was putting my phone down when I got another text geez what is with people wanting to blow my phone up today.
End of pov
Text convo
Mike: hey lex how are you? We haven't talked in a min
Lexie: I know sorry I didn't get back to you the other day I was suspended from school and the boys practically have me under surveillance lol
Mike: damn well there's a party this weekend any chance they would let you go?
Lexie: hmm I could ask maybe if I get Clare to come they'll say yes because I do want to hook up again
Mike: alright let me know
Clare: I will
End of text convo
Lexie's pov
After that I decided why not make a TikTok since I haven't posted in forever and my outfit is kind of cute so why not. I looked at the dance videos and saw a trend going around where people were reclining their backs and then shaking their body to a uh not so inappropriate song but who gives a fuck I pressed the play button and recorded myself and after I posted it with the caption "what's up TikTok it's been a while" I posted a few more until I heard Anthony calling my name downstairs.
End of pov
(Lexie walks downstairs over to Anthony who was standing in front of open front door)
Anthony: this kid says he knows you
Lexie: oh hey James how did you get past the gate?
James: I just told your security guy that I was from high water and we needed to practice our routine
Lexie: oh okay well anyway come in and I'll introduce you to everyone so you've already met Anthony (points at him) then if you follow me to the living room we have the two sinks over here Noah and Blake (points at them) then nurse boy (points at griffin) POV guy (points at Kio)
Kio: I don't even make that kind of content anymore (groans)
Lexie: oh well you will forever be known as pov guy then Sid the sloth or fuck boy of the house (points at Bryce)
Bryce: hey that's offensive also what the fuck are you wearing?
Lexie: clothes anyway am I missing anyone besides josh and Jaden.. oh and the camera crew over there (points at the cameras) somehow these idiots got famous enough for their own reality show (jokes)
Blake: damn girl you are just on a mean streak today aren't you
Lexie: guess so oh wait I forgot where's Q I haven't seen him all day?
Noah: with cooper at the studio
Lexie: oh okay well anyway we are going to go to the backyard and practice don't disturb us
Bryce: can the camera crew film you guys?
Lexie: I guess... but not the whole time plus we haven't even figured it ourselves so they can get the behind the scenes
Bryce: okay
(Lexie and James walks outside with some of the camera men following them)
James: I liked what we had so far at the studio did you?
Lexie: yeah so let's just start there and then see what we come up with after listening to the song a couple times
James: okay sounds good
Scene change
(Josh and Jaden are laying on the bed cuddling into each other's arms)
Josh: we needed this even if we are just home a day to reconnect and be present don't you think?
Jaden: yeah especially after everything that went down yesterday speaking of which are we going to expose Mads and nessa?
Josh: you know I was so pissed yesterday that I genuinely thought about it but honestly I just want to forget the whole thing, I am tired of drama I'll obviously address it next week on BFF'S but other then that I don't see why we should keep dragging it on
Jaden: I agree but if you wanted to I would have supported it
Josh: I know (kisses him) should we go downstairs now and hang out with the guys
Jaden: sure but we should probably get dressed first (jokes)
Josh: good call
(Jaden and josh get dressed to go downstairs and see the camera men filming with the boys and Lexie and James in the backyard practicing)
Jaden: who's that?
Kio: Lexie's friend from dance you said she could have a friend over right?
Jaden: yeah but I thought she meant a girl not a boy and why does he have his hand wrapped around her waist like that and what is she wearing!?
Griffin: she's wearing dance clothes I don't like it either but we need to deal with it
Josh: has she eaten?
Griffin: I ordered post mates for everyone it should be here in about fifteen minutes
Jaden: okay
Scene change
Lexie: okay so after the five turns I am going to hold onto your back for a few seconds long enough for you to lift me and spin me not high or anything but enough for it to look like I just fell in your arms and I am going to go limp for a second
James: yeah I like that and then after that I'll grab your hand and stand you up where you'll go into another turn so your back is facing towards me and my hand will go around your stomach so it looks like I am still supporting you
Lexie: ooo I like that okay I am going to turn the music on
(Lexie turns on the music and they start doing it while the cameras film them and the boys watch from the window)
Kio: I genuinely will never understand how their bodies just move like that
Noah: you know what the frustrating thing is she doesn't even realize how talented she is either
Josh: they both are super good I couldn't try and do that even if I wanted to
Bryce: (jokes) I know you can barely do a TikTok dance
(Josh smacks Bryce upside the head)
Bryce: ow
Josh: that's for insulting my dancing
Knock knock knock
Griffin: that's the food I'll go get it while one of you call Lexie inside
Blake: not it
Noah: me either
Anthony: I don't want to do it either
Jaden: fine I'll do it
(Jaden rolls his eyes and walks outside when Lexie is about to turn off the music)
Jaden: Lexie food is here come on time to eat
Lexie: no thanks I'll eat after we practice
Jaden: no you've been practicing for forty five minutes come take a break and eat
Lexie: I am not hungry yet plus we need to get this down
Jaden: it's perfect already
Lexie: how would you know?
Jaden: we were watching from the window
Lexie: of course you were
James: it's okay lex we can take a break and eat I am hungry too anyway
Jaden: we always buy extra so your more then welcome to eat with us
James: thanks Jaden right?
Jaden: yeah and you are?
James: James it's nice to meet you
Jaden: you too
Lexie's pov
I watched as Jaden and James talked and looked around to see the camera men still filming as we walked inside and josh handed me the burger. We all sat down and I looked at the cameras to still see them Filming me then I looked at James who had already taken a bite out of one of the burgers while I just stared at mine. I couldn't eat this in front of James, I am supposed to be a dance student and burgers are extremely greasy and fattening he's probably going to see me eat it and think to himself  "no wonder she doesn't have a good body like Odalie she eats all this fast food" or the fans are going to say "she can't complain about being fat when she eats a cheeseburger" "are you sure she has an eating disorder it didn't look like it by the way she was scarfing down that burger" the voices in my head kept getting louder and louder the more that I stared at it and I could feel my hands start to shake from the nerves. I can't do this I quickly got up from the table and ran to the bathroom, closed the door locking it and slid down to the ground burying my head in my hands and started to cry.
End of pov
Jaden: shit (gets up from the table)
James: is everything okay?
Kio: yeah but you know what James why don't you head home I am sure Lexie will call you later when she's feeling better yeah?
James: okay... tell her I hope everything's okay then
Noah: don't worry we will come on I'll walk you out
Bryce: (looks at the camera crew) shut down the cameras
(Noah walks James out of the house while Jaden rushes to the bathroom and knocks on the door only to hear Lexie crying on the other side)
Jaden: Lexie baby please don't do anything stupid just let me in
Lexie: n n no g g go away
Griffin: lex we just want to help you okay? James is gone and the cameras aren't filming okay?
Lexie: I d d don't c care
Josh: baby please open the door you were there for me yesterday now let me just be there for you okay?
(Lexie stops crying for a minute to stand up and open the door, Jaden automatically pulls her into a hug and looks her in the eyes)
Jaden: please tell me you didn't
Lexie: I didn't... I thought about it b but I d didn't d do it
Jaden: (sighs) thank god listen to me baby we are going to do this together okay? You are not going to go through this by yourself I promise
Lexie: o okay
Bryce: what triggered you?
Lexie: t the c cameras a a and j James b being here a and m my thoughts started to be to strong...
Griffin: okay from now on we'll make sure the cameras aren't filming if your eating but you have to have at least half of your burger now okay?
Lexie: please don't make me it's going to make me fat (cries)
Jaden: shh shh (runs his fingers through her hair) baby you remember what the doctor said right?
(Lexie nods her head)
Josh: so can you try eating for us just half and we'll help you through it okay?
(Lexie nods her head again)
Jaden: good now let's go (picks her up and carries her downstairs to the kitchen and sits with her on his lap)
Lexie's pov
Jaden handed me the burger and my hands immediately started to shake again from anxiety I couldn't do it even if I wanted to I just couldn't. Josh saw the struggle that I was having and he took the burger out of my hand and held it putting it against my lips.
End pov
Josh: please lex I know you can do it
(he looks at her with pleading eyes and she finally opens her mouth and takes a bite out of her burger)
Jaden: I am so proud of you princess (runs his fingers through her hair) your doing so good
(Lexie takes another bite while Jaden keeps giving her encouragements and the boys are there supporting her too until she finally finishes half of the burger)
Josh: can you try and eat a little more?
(Lexie shakes her head just as the front door opens and Quinton walks in with cooper)
Quinton: I am back!!
Blake: in the kitchen!
(Quinton and cooper walk into the kitchen and see the scene in front of them)
Cooper: is everything okay?
Kio: yeah lex just had a tough time eating but she did it (smiles at her)
Quinton: good job lex I am proud of you
(Lexie just smiles and lays her head on Jaden's chest and whispers in his ear)
Lexie: I tired bubba
Jaden: okay let's go upstairs (picks her up from the table) babe can you make her a bottle and meet me upstairs?
Josh: yeah
Jaden's pov
I carried lex up to my room to lay her on our bed and before you ask yes we changed the sheets after josh and I had sex. I turned the tv on and was scrolling through Disney plus when lex pointed at the lion king so I put it on knowing that she wasn't in little space yet but after the anxiety attack she just had and having a hard time eating I knew she was going to slip. A few minutes into the movie josh came back up with the bottle.
End of pov
Josh: what are we watching?
Lexie: Wion king
Josh: okay (hands her the bottle)
Lexie's pov
I hold onto da bottle dat dada gave me and brought it to my lips and started to suck on it and let the warm milk soothe my troat fwom cwying. I finish da bottle during da song I can't wait to be king and den hand my bottle to bubba and start whining.
End of pov
Jaden: what do you want baby?
Lexie: stuffy
Jaden: okay I think it's in your room I'll go get it (gets off the bed)
Lexie: dada
Josh: yes cutie
Lexie: paci
(Josh leans over to the desk and grabs the pacifier and pops it into her mouth and a few minutes later Jaden comes back with her stuffed cat)
Jaden: here it was under your bed (hands it to her)
Lexie: tank you bubba! (Kisses his cheek and grabs the stuffy and holds it close to her chest) night night
Jaden: night sweetheart (kisses the top of her head) I love you so much
Lexie: I love you too bubba (then looks at josh) I love you too dada
Josh: (smiles) I love you baby (kisses her cheek)
Lexie's pov
After dat I close my eyes and fall asleep in da middle of dada and bubba.
