Forced to live with Sway LA

Chapter 76

Friday
Lexie's pov
I woke up feeling better then I did yesterday and the day before and I think I am the only one awake since josh was still asleep and I didn't hear the boys downstairs I decided to take advantage of it so I got off the bed and quickly changed into a pair of ripped jeans with a crop top and left my hair alone. Then I grabbed my camera and walked downstairs to the living room and set the camera up and started recording.
End of pov
Video
Lexie: what's up everyone Lexie here and welcome to my first YouTube video and yes you heard me right I said YouTube video and for my first video I decided it would be fun to prank the boys since they are all sleeping but I want these pranks to be good so I am not going to wake them up or anything so the first person I want to prank is josh so I'll be back once I tell you guys what I come up with. (Cuts the camera)
Lexie's pov
I decided to walk to the market that's five minutes from the house and figure out something good for each of the boys. I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my camera and stated walking to the market and when I was there I turned the camera on again.
End of pov
Video
Lexie: okay guys so I am at the market right now and when the boys see this video they'll probably kill me but I don't care it's for the content. But anyways I am in the hair aisle right now and I remember a ping pong live josh did where a fan said he should dye his hair blue, now I can't actually dye his hair but there is a blue hair spray can so when I get home I am just going to pour the dye in his shampoo bottle and well you can guess what's going to happen after. For Bryce I was thinking we just hide his PAU chain again since his reaction was priceless last time, for Blake I am going to grab his phone and I'll probably do a cheating prank on him with Amelie, for Noah... maybe I'll get Dixie in on it or something, Ant is not at the house and neither is Kio because him and griffin super early this morning for Miami for a couples get away so the only people who are getting pranked are josh, Bryce, Blake and Noah so I'll see you guys back at the house (closes the camera)
End of video scene
Lexie's pov
I paid for the hair dye and walked back home and thankfully the boys were still asleep so I just poured the hair dye into Josh's shampoo bottle, then I hid Bryce's PAU chain in one of our secret rooms but I decided just hiding it wouldn't be that fun so I decided to make it kind of like a scavenger hunt for the him by leaving little notes and riddles, I left like five and I hid the actual chain in the glove compartment of his car. Then I grabbed my phone and decided to call Amelie and let her know what I was doing.
End of pov
Phone convo
Amelie: hey lex what's up?
Lexie: hey Lie I just wanted to let you know that I am filming a YouTube video right now and I am prancing the boys
Amelie: oh god what did you have in mind
Lexie: I am going to grab Blake's phone and send a text like he's cheating on you and I was wondering if you could play along
Amelie: yeah of course
Lexie: okay thank you, I am going to do it in a bit and when you get it just blow up his phone and he'll wake up eventually
Amelie: (laughs) okay
Lexie: thank lie
Amelie: no problem
End of convo
(Lexie then dials Dixie's phone number)
Dixie: hello
Lexie: hey pixie
Dixie: hey Lexie how are you?
Lexie: I am good, listen I am prancing the boys for a YouTube video and I need your help what should I do for Noah?
Dixie: hmm you know I do want to get him back for the stripper prank even though it wasn't his fault
Lexie: soo you'll help me?
Dixie: yeah I'll go over there and pretend to break up with him or something
Lexie: okay I'll just make sure to have the camera filming when you do oh and can you bring Charlie??
Dixie: yeah but chase is with her since you know they are kind of back together
Lexie: that's fine if josh says anything I'll hit him upside the head
Dixie: (laughs) okay see you later
End of phone convo
Lexie's pov
Okay so now that the pranks are all set up now it's just time to see how they react to it, I turned off my camera to save battery and in the meantime I checked time on my phone and saw it was now eleven thirty so I am guessing that means no high water today but it's fine we still have a month before competition anyway and we have half the choreo done. After checking the time I decided to just turn the tv on and watch the newest episode of All American.
End of pov
One hour later
Josh's pov
I woke up and the first thing I realized was Lexie not in the room with me but then I checked my phone and saw it was twelve thirty damn I slept in but I haven't slept in like that in a long time so I am not going to judge myself for it. I got off the bed and decided to take a shower so I took off my sweatpants, grabbed my phone for music and turned the water on and just as I was about to step into the shower my phone started ringing and I saw Jaden was face timing me.
End of pov
FaceTime
Josh: hey babe I am just about to jump into the shower can I call you after?
Jaden: yeah did you just finish working out?
Josh: no I just woke up
Jaden: who look lex to school today then?
Josh: probably one of the boys, I'll find out after my shower
Jaden: okay I miss you
Josh: I miss you too where are you right now?
Jaden: on my way to the studio we really have to finish tell me about tomorrow the fans are dying for it and I just want to be able to be home already
Josh: aww you miss us
Jaden: yeah but I miss you the most and I miss our baths together
Josh: when your back that's the first thing we'll do then
Jaden: no the first thing I want to do is go away with you and Lexie maybe Cancun or the Bahamas just away from LA for like a week
Josh: do you think we'll be able to be back together by Lexie's birthday it's in a month and I would hate for her 16th birthday to be celebrated without us being together
Jaden: I don't know if we'll be able to be together as a couple but I definitely know we are going to do something together hopefully without ness being involved
Josh: is she giving you a hard time?
Jaden: no I just want this whole thing to be over with I heard Shannon over the phone with Mads telling her to go on Dixie's new show and talk about the situation to make it even more believable
Josh: so your going to look like the bad guy again
Jaden: (sighs) yeah
Josh: you know why she's doing this right? Because she's still upset over us being together and so now she literally has permission to ruin your life
Jaden: yeah but what am I supposed to do about this? I am stuck until Travis and Kells can get me out
Josh: I know and I hate it but we'll do something when everything's over and done with and people will know the truth
Jaden: okay I gotta go I am at the studio
Josh: and I still have to jump in the shower so I love you and we'll talk later
Jaden: okay
End of phone convo
Josh's pov
I put my phone down and got in the shower, I washed myself and then I washed my hair and got out and started drying my hair with a towel when I looked in the mirror and my heart stopped I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing it clearly and sure enough my hair was blue and the only prankster in this house is right across the hall.
End of pov
Josh: BRYCE FUCKING HALL OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!!!
Lexie's pov
I heard josh scream from upstairs and I let out a quiet laugh because I know for sure he saw his blue hair, I grabbed my camera and turned it on and started filming at an angle where I was still hidden and the boys wouldn't see me or the camera.
End of pov
Bryce: (half asleep and opens the door) what dude I am sleeping (rubs his eyes and bursts out laughing) dude what happened to your hair
Josh: hahaha very funny where's the camera Bryce
Bryce: listen I know I am the prank master of the house but I swear I didn't do it
Josh: well my hair doesn't magically just turn blue so who the hell was it?
Bryce: I don't know maybe Lexie or one of the other boys but it wasn't me
Josh: (looks at him) okay fine I believe you I'll go ask one of the other boys (walks away)
Bryce's pov
I closed my door after josh left the room and was planning on going back to bed but since I am already up I decided to just wake up for good so I grabbed my phone from the charger and then saw a sticky note that said " sometime special to you is missing if you would like to find it solve the riddles on the next clues you find." Something special? What the fuck? Oh hell no I quickly walked into my closet and opened up the box where I keep my PAU chain and it wasn't in there, okay now I am pissed. I walked out of my room and knocked on Noah's door because he was the last one that took my chain last time.
End of pov
Lexie's pov
I watched as josh went to Blake's room and a few minutes later Bryce came out of his and went to Noah's room and started knocking on it and a few seconds later he opened the door and Bryce started interrogating him but he had no clue, so Bryce went to Blake's room so now both josh and Bryce were trying to get the answer from Blake.
End of pov
Blake: wait a minute guys have you realized something
Bryce: yeah my chain is missing and Josh's hair is blue and Noah doesn't really do that kind of thing so it has to be you
Blake: really? And where's Lexie?
Josh: she's at high water obviously
Blake: if you were sleeping, and Bryce was sleeping and I was sleeping and griffin and Kio aren't even here neither is Ant who took her?
(Bryce and josh looked at each other and then yelled)
Both: LEXIE!!!
(Lexie puts the camera down and walks into the room)
Lexie: oh you guys are up why are you screaming
Josh: (looks at her) did you have anything to do with my hair being blue and Bryce's chain missing?
Lexie: no I was watching all American but whoever did it did a good job
Josh: (looks at Bryce) then it has to be you
Bryce: I was SLEEPING, how do I know it wasn't you, you haven't uploaded on YouTube maybe you pranked yourself and then pranked me to make it more believable
Josh: why would I prank myself? That makes no sense
Blake's pov
Josh and Bryce were busy bickering back and forth and I wanted to kick them out of my room so I could go back to sleep but then all of a sudden my phone starting going off like crazy and a few minutes later it started ringing and I saw that it was Amelie calling me.
End of pov
Blake: guys shut up for a second (picks up his phone and answers) Hey baby
Amelie: don't hey baby me did you cheat on me with Elle!?
Blake: what? Why would you even, where did you even hear that from, I'd never cheat on you
Amelie: really so the text I got this morning saying "morning Elle I had fun last night we should do it again wasn't from you!"
Blake: babe I haven't even been on my phone today I just woke up and i would never text you that
Amelie: yeah whatever I don't believe you
Blake: baby I swear I would never
(Amelie hangs up the phone)
Lexie's pov
I grabbed my phone and sent a quick yext to Amelie thanking her for playing along and then put my phone down for a second to go to the bathroom but grabbed my camera so the boys wouldn't suspect anything.
End of pov
Bryce's pov
We were talking about what just happened in Blake's room when I saw Lexie from the corner of my eye pick up a camera and walk away. I laughed to myself because have to admit that was such an beginner's move and she didn't even notice. I walked over to Blake's door and was closing it when I saw Lexie's phone on the ground so I picked it up just as she was getting a text from Amelie saying no problem so she was obviously in on it. I put Lexie's phone in my pocket and closed the door.
End of pov
Josh: why did you do that?
Bryce: guys lex is pranking us I just saw her move the camera away from the door oh and blake Amelie was in on the prank (tosses him her phone)
Blake: well got to give the kid credit for trying
Josh: so what are we going to do about it?
Bryce: you know what I say we prank her back but I think we should just go along with it for now so she thinks we still don't know that way when she least expects it we expose her with our cameras
Josh: you know what I think I am going to  grab my camera and form an "alliance with her" I'll go up to her, make her I think it's still you pranking me while you go find your PAU chain
Bryce: okay
Lexie's pov
I came back from the bathroom and Just went back to the living room and continued the next episode of all American until josh came up to me with his camera.
End of pov
Josh: hey lex want to do a video with me?
Lexie: I guess but what is it going to be?
Josh: well I still think that Bryce is the one pranking me so let's try and expose him
Lexie: okay give me a sec I am going to go grab something real quick (takes her phone and goes upstairs to her room and turns the camera on)
Video
Lexie: alright guys so my video took a turn because josh thinks Bryce is The Who put the dye in the shampoo so I am going to have to think about what do to next... oh I got it I am just going to grab the spray bottle and I'll put it in the bathroom and I'll just suggest to josh we check there first but let's hope Bryce isn't in in his room so I'll catch you guys later
End of clip
Bryce's pov
I was currently in buddy's room because that's where the next clue led me too and then pulled out my camera to start filming.
End of pov
Video
Bryce: what's up welcome back to the mother fucking vlog and your probably wondering why I am not doing anything crazy right now but I am going to tell you guys why, so Lexie thought she could get away with pranking me and the boys, and I'll admit at first she got me thinking josh was pranking me but come on I am the king of pranks so little did she know I saw her move the camera away from where she was filming us so josh and I thought we'd play her little game and at the end expose that we knew she was pranking us all along. Josh has her distracted right now while I am solving riddles to find my PAU chain with Blake because now when someone wants to prank me they decided to take my chain, Noah if your watching this I fucking blame you for giving her that idea
Blake: this riddle says "if you would like to find the chain go towards the thing that's most precious to you, is she talking about Addison
Bryce: your a bitch for that you know
Blake: what? All I said was Addison, lex said most precious to you isn't that her
Bryce: J rod is going to cut this part out thanks to you
Blake: well what else is precious to you?
Bryce: my car!
Blake: let's go
(They take the camera and walk downstairs to the driveway)
Lexie's pov
I told josh the first place he should check is the upstairs office don't ask why because I don't know but he fell for it and agreed so I quickly went up to my room and grabbed the spray bottle and walked into Bryce's room and put it in the bathroom.
End of pov
Lexie: josh!
Josh: yeah? (Walks into the bathroom)
Lexie: look what I found (points at the bottle)
Josh: I knew he was behind it
Lexie: so what do we do?
Josh: let's go tell him
Lexie: okay
Bryce's pov
I walked over to my car while Blake filmed and started looking around it and couldn't see a note or my chain anywhere, there wasn't a lot of places to look but then Blake said to check the glove compartment and sure enough there's my PAU chain. I grabbed it and put it around my neck and we were walking back to the house when we saw Dixie's car pull up.
End of pov
Bryce: hey Dixie, charli, chase what brings you here, especially you softish
Charli: hey be nice
Bryce: I am teasing
Chase: hmm whatever you Bruce
Bryce: see charls we are friends now
Chase: I wouldn't exactly say we are friends
Bryce: we went on a jet together last weekend we are friends
Chase: fine whatever friends
Dixie: anyways where's Noah? (Crosses her arms)
Bryce: inside somewhere probably his room
Dixie: okay
(They all walk into the house just as josh and Lexie walk downstairs, josh with his camera and they all burst out laughing seeing Josh's hair)
Chase: so instead of pretzel should I call you smurf now?
Josh: sure softish, (looks at Bryce) I found the spray bottle in your bathroom and oh look you magically found your PAU chain
Bryce: I didn't magically find it you know I had to go through seven stupid sticky notes looking for the thing, how do I know you aren't the one that put it in my car
Josh: because when have I ever done a prank on my channel
Bryce: maybe you wanted to change your content a bit
(Josh is about to respond when Noah comes downstairs)
Noah: hey babe (walks over to Dixie and leans in to kiss her)
Dixie: don't even think about it Noah neck
Noah: what are you talking about?
Dixie: we are breaking up
Noah: what!? Baby what's wrong? Did I do something?
Dixie: no I am just bored of being in a relationship
Noah: Dixie are you serious right now?
Dixie: yeah
Noah: I don't understand is it because of the argument we had the restaurant
Dixie: no and I'd hardly call it an argument just a disagreement
Noah: so what? That's it eight months of love down the drain
Dixie: yeah pretty much
Lexie's pov
I had taken my phone out to record them since it just looked like I was on it but just as Dixie was about to walk out Bryce took out his camera.
End of pov
Bryce: wait wait Dixie before you say anything else we have something to say
Dixie: what?
Bryce: see this morning when we woke up josh had his hair blue, my chain was missing, Amelie randomly texted Blake about him cheating and at first we all thought it was josh then josh though it was me but little miss over here (points the camera at Lexie) is behind all the pranks and Amelie was in on it so I have to ask are you in on it too??
Lexie: w w wait you guys knew this whole time!?
Josh: sorry bud you almost had us but then Bryce saw you walk away earlier with your camera and he caught you
Lexie: t then why did you pretend to play along!?
Bryce: we need content for our YouTube channel too so josh and I went along with it until the end where we were going to expose you and you dix (points the camera at her)
Dixie: damnit it they caught us lex
Noah: thank god it was a prank you scared me for a second (pulls her in for a hug)
Dixie: I'd never break up with you
Charli: aww cute
Chase: got to hand it to you lex it was a good attempt
Lexie: yeah yeah yeah I am going to go edit and upload it anyway
Josh: aww don't feel discouraged baby you'll get better just not better then us
Lexie's pov
I glared at the boys and took my camera back upstairs and filmed the outro for it.
End of pov
Video clip
Lexie: well guys the pranks didn't go how I thought they would because the boys found out about it and you'll see my reaction to it along with their videos when they upload it but anyway this has been my first YouTube video and I will see you guys in the next one (blows a kiss at the camera and turns it off)
End of video clip
Lexie's pov
I took out my laptop and started editing the video along with the one I had on my phone with Dixie and Noah and put that together. I created a little intro that was aesthetically pleasing and an hour later I finished editing and decided to upload it. I filmed a tik tok announcing that I had just posted my first YouTube video and did the same on my insta stories and after there was a knock on my door.
End of pov
Lexie: come in
Josh: hey bud how's it going?
Lexie: good I just finished editing and I am about to upload it
Josh: damn that was fast can I see it?
Lexie: yeah come sit
(Lexie points to a chair next to her and josh sits while she plays the video from start to finish and then looks at him)
Lexie: sooo what do you think?
Josh: I think your a natural at it princess good job (hugs her)
Lexie: really? (Smiles)
Josh: yeah it came out great your fans are going to love it and even if they don't fuck the haters and
Lexie: no looking at the comments I know
Josh: good now get ready we are all going out to lunch
Lexie: saddle ranch?
Josh: no we are just going to in and out
Lexie: okay I'll be right down
Josh: okay (gets off the chair and walks out of the room)
Lexie's pov
I made sure the video was completely uploaded before turning off my laptop and walked to my closet and grabbed a sweater and walked downstairs. I rode with Dixie, Noah, Charlie and Chase while Blake, josh and Bryce went in the other car. On the way to In and Out I just caught up with chase and Charli since I hadn't seen them in a while and chase made a few comments about the whole jaden and nessa situation but I don't blame him because at this point Jaden has done a lot worse so I can't really defend him and I didn't want to so I just agreed with him. When we got to In and Out josh and chase decided to break the internet and make a tik tok together because even though they have been friends for a while nothing was made public except for the time paparazzi caught us at lunch but that was months ago. After filming some TikToks we sat down to eat and I ate half my burger and some fries, josh wanted me to eat more but I protested and since we were in public he didn't want to fight me. An hour later we finished eating and we said bye to Dixie, Charli, chase and Noah who decided to go back with her not surprising. When we got home Blake left to Amelie's which left me with Bryce and josh and we decided to keep it low key, we just watched tv until it was time for Jaden and ness to be on Kimmel.
End of pov
Lexie: I am proud of Jaden I just wish he wasn't doing it with her (scoffs and crosses her arms)
Bryce: is she being rude to you again?
Lexie: no but I still don't like her and I never will
(Josh sighs and is about to respond when his phone starts to ring and he sees Jaden calling through FaceTime)
Face time
Bryce: your a fucking rockstar Jaden!!
Jaden: thanks Bryce
Josh: proud of you bro!!
Lexie: you killed it, but emo Barbie made you look bad
Josh: Lexie (says in a warning tone)
Lexie: what? I am just telling the truth, she made Jaden look bad
Bryce: no she didn't, Jaden don't listen you killed it
Jaden: thanks guys I appreciate it, and lex I understand you don't like ness but this was a big moment for her too and she's standing next to me
Lexie: oh so she heard me?
Nessa: yeah I did (says in the background)
Lexie: good
Jaden: (shakes his head) what did you guys do today?
Lexie: go watch my first YouTube video and you'll see
Jaden: you posted your first YouTube video!?
Lexie: yup (smiles)
Jaden: okay when we are done talking I'll go watch it... I miss you sis it's weird not having you everyday with me
Lexie: move back in here and be with josh and you can be
Josh: Lexie...
Lexie: right sorry...
Jaden: (sighs) it's okay you have a right to express how you feel but I gotta go Q and coop just walked in with a cake
Josh: okay talk to you later bro
Jaden: later, bye baby have a goodnight
Lexie: night
End of phone convo
Bryce: (looks at Lexie) lex
Lexie: I don't want to talk about it (gets off the couch and goes upstairs)
Josh: (sighs) I am going to make her a bottle and see if I can get her into little space?
Bryce: why?
Josh: because she's upset and she's going to shut me out and I don't want her too (gets off the couch and walks into the kitchen)
Lexie's pov
I came up to the boys room and I felt a pain in my chest all of a sudden, I looked at the bed and I remembered all the nights the three of us cuddled and went to sleep or when I woke up in the morning and they tickled me until I got away from them.. I hate this, why am I thinking this now? Oh because you know that if Jaden was here tonight we would be the ones celebrating his first performance on tv instead of him being in a different house. I lay on the bed and buried my head in the pillow and started crying until I heard the door open and felt a pair of arms wrap around me.
End of pov
Josh: shh shh baby it's okay (pulls her to his chest)
Lexie: no it's not he was supposed to be with us tonight! He's supposed to be at home celebrating with his real family and not nessa (cries) it's not fair why did he have to catch feelings for HER
Josh: I don't know baby and I know it's not fair but it is what it is and we have to move forward
Lexie: I don't want too
Josh's pov
I just ran my fingers through her hair and kissed the top of her head and when she finally was calmed down enough I leaned over and grabbed the bottle from the nightstand and pressed the nipple to her lips and she didn't try to fight me and instead she wrapped her lips around it and started sucking until she closed her eyes. When I was sure she was asleep I took the bottle out of her mouth and put it back on the nightstand, took my hoodie off and lay her head on my chest as she wrapped her arms around my upper waist and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
End of pov
