Josh's pov
I woke up and groaned hearing my phone going off but I turned around and took it off the charger and looked at the caller ID ready to yell at the person who woke me up but I couldn't because it was Jaden calling me.
End of pov
Josh: morning babe
Jaden: morning J sorry I am with ness right now and Quinton
Josh: did ness stay over last night?
Jaden: yeah but in the guest room and it was only because Shannon wanted us to go out and celebrate the Kimmel performance and by the time we got back to the house it was already late so i didn't want her driving back
Josh: oh okay
Jaden: does that bother you?
Josh: a little bit but not like I can do anything about it
Jaden: babe...
Josh: it's fine Jaden, what time are you picking up lex?
Jaden: I'll pick her up in about an hour because Quinton wants to have dinner and introduce us to someone tonight
Josh: new girlfriend?
Jaden: I think so he's been out of the house everyday this week and he's always got a smile on his face when he checks his phone
Josh: aw he's becoming a simp again
Jaden: (laughs) yup
Josh: alright I'll get lex up and tell her to get ready, do you think we can sneak away when you get here?
Jaden: I don't know ness is with me because after we pick up lex we are going to head to KISS FM we are going to be doing a small performance
Josh: (sighs) okay I'll see you later then.. I love you
Jaden: I love you too and I am sorry I know this is hard but thank you for being so understanding
Josh: I mean I am not happy about it but I want to support you so...
Jaden: I know and I appreciate it see you later
Josh: later babe
End of phone convo
Josh's pov
I put my phone back on the night stand and looked over at lex who was curled into a ball sleeping on what used to be Jaden's side of the bed, I leaned over and started rubbing her back to get her to wake up and she let out a whine and curled herself more into the covers.
End of pov
Josh: lex time to wake up
Lexie: no dada I sleep
Josh: (mumbles) damnit you had the whole weekend to go into little space and now is when you choose to... lex come on Jaden's going to be here soon to pick you up

Lexie: I gon miss you dough
Josh: I am going to miss you too but we'll talk on the phone just like we did last week okay
Lexie: not da same
Josh: I know but it is what it is now why don't you go pick out something cute and meet me downstairs for breakfast
Lexie: no (crosses her arms)
Josh: this is your last chance to listen or you go in timeout is that what you want?
Lexie: no dada...
josh: then go get ready please
Lexie: fine (gets off the bed and walks out of the room)
Josh's pov
I watched Lexie go to her room and I looked up at the ceiling and thought why now God? She literally had all week to slip into little space and didn't, now that she's leaving is when she feels comfortable enough to fall back into little space and it's going to fuck everything up again.
End of pov
Lexie's pov
I walk to my closet and pick out a hello kitty shirt and a pink skirt with sandals and grabbed some bubber bands and went downstairs where dada and da other boys were.
End of pov
Lexie: dada will put my hair in braid please?
Josh: yeah come here
(Lexie walks over to josh)
Bryce: when did she finally slip into little space?
Josh: she woke up in it (finishes doing her hair) what do you want for breakfast?
Lexie: milk
Josh: you can have a bottle with your food but you still need to eat?
Lexie: hmm egg and bacon
Josh: okay you go play while I make it
Lexie: otay (walks away)
(Josh and Bryce walk into the kitchen)
Bryce: do you think she'll slip out of it before Jaden comes?
Josh: I don't know we'll just have to wait and see
Bryce: what time is he coming?
Josh: in an hour
Bryce: do you want me to distract lex so you two can you know (gestures up the stairs)
Josh: no he's with nessa they have to record a video today
Bryce: oh.. does it bother you that they are spending so much time together working
Josh: working no but her staying the night at his house yes that bothers me
Bryce: he let her stay over??
Josh: yeah apparently they got to the house to late and he didn't want her driving back
Bryce: do you believe him?
Josh: I want too... but god Bryce do you think Jaden would do that?
Bryce: listen Jaden loves you that much I do know so don't let those negative thoughts get to you
Josh: yeah your right
Lexie's pov

Lexie's pov
I want to da font door and open da door and I saw bubba and dat's when I wemember I supposed to go to his house. I quickly close da door and wan up to my pay woom and hid in my princess tent because I no want to go home with bubba and see da wicked witch.
End of pov
Knock knock knock
Bryce: I thought lex said she would get it
Josh: she probably got distracted at least that song finally stopped playing (gets off the chair in the kitchen and walks to the front door and opens it) hey Jaden come in
(Jaden walks in and josh closes the door while Jaden quickly pecks him on the lips)
Jaden: where did lex go? She opened the door and then closed it
Josh: I don't but I have an idea oh and keep in mind she's been in little space since she woke up
Jaden: really?
Josh: yeah let's go upstairs
(They walk upstairs to Lexie's playroom)
Josh: Lexie where are you?
(Lexie stays quiet)
Jaden: I didn't know we were playing hide and seek did you josh?
Josh: no but I guess I should start counting one...
Jaden: maybe I should go check our room (winks at josh and starts "walking away)
Lexie: (unzips the tent and looks at josh) is bubba gone?
Jaden: not quite little miss (wraps his arms around her waist and picks her up and hugs her) I missed you baby
Lexie: I miss you too bubba (hugs him)
Jaden: are you ready to go?
Lexie: no I want to stay with dada (crosses her arms)

Josh: come here princess (takes her from Jaden and hugs her) listen you be a good girl and we'll talk everyday okay?
Lexie: no (wraps her arms around Josh's neck)
Jaden's pov
I grabbed Lexie's stuff since she's in little space right now while she was hugging josh and when I made sure I had both her bags I walked back over to Lexie who now had tears streaming down her cheeks, this is killing me.
End of pov
Josh: lex you have to go with bubba now (starts handing her over)
Lexie: no I stay with you (cries and wraps her legs around his waist)
(Josh nods to Jaden who wraps his arms around Lexie's waist and starts pulling her towards him)
Lexie: no no bubba weave me alone!! I no want to go with you!! Put me down! Pease let me tay with dada (cries and starts kicking)
Jaden: baby I can't do that you know I want to spend time with you too okay? And we are going to have so much fun this week so please calm down (holds her in his arms and wipes her cheeks)
Lexie: I no care I want dada!! (Leans towards him)
Josh: baby I'll call you tonight okay (kisses the top of her head) take her Jaden
Jaden: alright I'll call you later yeah?
Jaden's pov
Josh nodded his head and I started walking down the stairs with a kicking and screaming Lexie who only stopped crying to say bye to Bryce and as I was heading out the door the crying started again. I got to the car and put her bags inside and then strapped her into the car and got in the drivers seat while ness was in the passenger.
End of pov
Nessa: hey lex how was your week with josh?
Lexie: I no want to talk to you witch!! Bubba let me stay with dada please (cries)
Jaden: (sighs) you know you can't lex, dada has to focus on work too
Lexie: no!!! (Starts kicking)
Josh: Lexie Marie stop it right now
Lexie: I want to stay with you!!
Josh: please don't make this hard baby, listen to bubba and I'll call you later okay? (Kisses her forehead and nods his head at Jaden)
Jaden's pov
I carried a crying and kicking Lexie out of the front door and to my car with her throwing a tantrum. I strapped her into the car and went to the drivers seat and I am hoping that she slips out of little space before we get to the KISS FM studio.
End of pov
Nessa: what's wrong with her?
Jaden: she didn't want to leave and she's in little space
Lexie: take me back to dada!! I no want to be here with you and da witch!! (Crying and kicking)
Jaden: Lexie I know your upset but that's not nice to say and stop kicking because your going to mess up the car by doing that
Lexie: den take me back to dada!!!
Jaden: (sighs) I can't and you know that, how about we listen to music?
Lexie: can I dj?
Jaden: yeah my phone or yours?
Lexie: your
Jaden: okay (hands her the phone)
Lexie's pov
Bubba hand me da phone and I go to duck song because seeing da yellow ducky made me happy and I wipe my tears and tart singing.
End of pov
Lexie: bum bum bum a duck walk up to da lemonade stand he said to the man who was running da stand hey follow me, da man say can't you go with some feather friends i am staying right here, da duck said tear den he waddle away waddle den he waddled away waddle waddle
A few minutes later
Nessa: Jaden seriously (looks at him)
Jaden: what? You'd rather hear her crying (looks at her)
Nessa: no but it's the fifth time we are hearing this song
Jaden: lex you want to pick a different song?
Lexie: no! Den he waddle away, waddle away waddle waddle
Jaden's pov
I lost count of how many times the same song played over and over just different versions of it until we pulled up to the KISS FM studio and lex was still in little space so I hopefully this isn't a complete disaster. I parked the car and got out and walked over to her side of the car and took her out and held her hand as we walked across the street into the studio. When we got inside one of the employees wanted ness and I to take some pictures so as we posed for the camera, lex sat in one of the bean bags playing on my phone. After we took a few pictures we got led into this big white room that had a view of the Hollywood sign from the window and I got lex situated on one of the chairs and sat next to her while ness got in front of the camera with the guitar player.
End of pov
Jaden: what are you doing baby?
Lexie: take pic see (holds the phone) Bubba take with me
Jaden: okay (takes the phone and they take a pictures)
After ness sings flawless
Worker: Jaden your up
Jaden: okay (looks at lex) stay here while bubba goes and sings okay?
Lexie: otay
Lexie's pov
Bubba walked over to da witch and sat next to her while da guitar payer start paying their song and it made me mad because it's dis tupid song fault dat my bubba and dada are not together anymore. It's also da witches fault so while bubba had his eyes closed I got up from da chair and walk over to da camera we are it was plugged into dis wall I crawled over to da plugged and unplug the black thing which also cause da lights to go out.
End of pov
Jaden: Lexie Marie!!
Lexie: it was accident I sorry bubba I no no what was going to happen (says innocently)
Employee: we lost the footage we are going to have to start over with ness again
Jaden: alright Lexie that's a timeout (gets off the chair and walks over to Lexie)
Lexie: no! No timeout!! (Sits on the floor and crosses her arms)
Jaden: Lexie get off the floor and go to the corner
Lexie: no!!
Jaden: I am going to count to three and if your not in the corner then I am going to pick you up and put it there
Lexie: no bubba I no go in timeout!
Jaden's pov
I walk over to Lex because enough was enough we are in public right now and this behavior wasn't going to be acceptable. I picked her up and I took her to the corner of the white room with her still screaming and starting to kick me so I      spanked her once and she stopped kicking and I put her in the corner.
End of pov
Jaden: your going to stay here for five minutes and tell me why I put you in timeout understand?
Lexie: yes bubba (looks down)
Jaden: okay (walks over to the chair next to nessa)
Lexie's pov
I was bored looking at the wall and started playing with my fingers while bubba and ness started singing and it made me mad again but I no want to get in trouble again so I stay in da corner until bubba was done and walked back over to me.
End of pov
Jaden: why did I put you in timeout Lexie?
Lexie: because I turn da camera off... and da lights went off
Jaden: why did you unplug the camera?
Lexie: cause hearing you and da witch made me mad
Nessa: why did it make you mad? (Looks at her)
Lexie: it's da song's fault bubba and dada are not together and it's your fault too you witch
Jaden: Lexie..
Lexie: sowwy
Jaden: (sighs) it's okay I understand that you were upset but next time you use your words okay? No throwing tantrums or anything like that understand?
Lexie: otay bubba
Jaden: good now give me a hug (opens his arms)
Lexie's pov
I give bubba a hug and he picks me up and da tree of us say bye to da workers and leave da studio, on da way home I felt sleepy so I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The next time I woke up I was no longer in little space and I looked around the room to see I was in my new room in Jaden's house, ugh this isn't my room but you get my point. I sat up on the bed and looked around for my phone and found it on my nightstand, I grabbed it and put it in my pocket and got off the bed and walked over to the living room where Jaden, Quinton and cooper were playing video games and ness was no where to be found thank god.
End of pov
Quinton: hey sleeping beauty finally woke up (jokes)
Lexie: hey Q
Quinton: yeah (looks at her)
Lexie: (flips him off) that's for calling me sleeping beauty
Quinton: missed you too lex (playfully rolls her eyes)
Cooper: how was your week with josh? We saw the YouTube video you did a good job with the pranks
Lexie: thanks (smiles)
Cooper: am I going to have to worry about you switching my shampoo too
Lexie: maybe (jokes)
Quinton: oh lex before you get comfortable on the couch I want to tell you that we are all going out to dinner
Lexie: okay... why did you have to tell me that?
Quinton: because I am going to introduce you to someone (smiles)
Lexie: wait a second I leave for a week and you have a girlfriend!?!
Quinton: she's not my girlfriend yet and technically I have been seeing her for a while now I just wasn't ready to introduce her to anyone yet
Lexie: oh okay where are we going?
Jaden: Olive Garden (looks up from the game)
Lexie: okay I am going to go shower and get ready
Jaden: wear something appropriate please!!
Lexie: yeah yeah (walks upstairs)
Lexie's pov
I walked over to my closet and decided on a tight metallic purple off the shoulder dress that went right below my knee that showed a decent amount of cleavage and my body shape along with some heels. I jumped in the shower and quickly washed myself and my hair then got out and blow dried it. After blow drying it I grabbed my curling wand and started curling it so that it fell in nice waves and last but not least a little bit of makeup. I looked in the mirror and for the first time I wasn't completely disgusted by my appearance so I took a mirror pic and then promoted my YouTube video for those that haven't watched it yet, then I did a throwback TikTok to savage and walked back to the living room where all the boys were ready.
End of pov
Cooper: I am going to go pick up Sab
Jaden: okay so we are going to pick up the girls and then meet at Olive Garden
Quinton: yeah
Lexie: can I go with you coop? I don't want to be near emo Barbie anymore then I have to be
Jaden: really? That comment was necessary
Lexie: yup
Cooper: I don't mind (shrugs her shoulders)
Jaden: alright we'll see you there then
Lexie's pov
We left the house and I got in the backseat of cooper's car and started driving to Sab's house and when we got there coop got out of the car and a few minutes later came back with Sab and we started driving to Olive Garden. On the way there Sab and I talked about collabing in the future which sounded good to me we just needed to figure out when and what we should do for the video. Thirty minutes later we arrived at Olive Garden and were the first ones there so coop went to put in the reservations while Sab and I talked some more, then Jaden and Ness arrived his hand was around her waist and I rolled my eyes they were worse then him and Mads in public and finally we watched Quinton's car pull up into the parking lot and he got out then went around to the passenger seat and opened the door and the girl looked familiar, she had light brown hair but was looking down at her phone and then when she looked up my heart stopped. No please no please God don't do this to me!!
End of pov
(Quinton and the girl walk up to the group just as the hostess is also walking up to them)
Quinton: guys I would like you to meet Odalie, Odalie that's Jaden, his girlfriend Nessa, cooper and his girlfriend Sabrina, then the youngest in the house and our little sis Lexie
Odalie: (smiles) hi Lexie it's nice to meet you
Lexie's pov
Okay so that's how she wants to play fine I'll play for now.
End of pov
Lexie: (fake smiles) you too
Hostess: follow me to your table (smiles)
(They get lead to the table and sit down)
Jaden: so Odalie how did you and Quinton meet?
Odalie: it's a funny story actually my little brother was at the skate park and he was trying to do this trick and he fell, and Quinton saw him and walked over to him to help just as I was going to help him too and we bumped into each other (looks at him)
Quinton: yeah and then I apologized for bumping into her and I bought her and her brother ice cream
Lexie: aww how sweet (says sarcastically)
Jaden: cool it with the sarcasm lex
Lexie: what? I am just saying how cute and sweet that is (kicks Odalie under the table)
Odalie: ow
Lexie: oops sorry was that your leg? I meant that for Jaden or ness either target would have worked
Nessa: what is your problem with me Lexie? Seriously I haven't done anything since Jaden and I started dating except he nice to you
Lexie: I don't care you know what you did and I could expose you right now but I don't want too
Sabrina: okay anyway what is everyone thinking about eating (tries to break the tension)
Lexie's pov
I didn't want to eat in front of Odalie but I also didn't want to give her another reason to tease me especially in school so I decided to just get a spaghetti and marinara.
End of pov
Odalie: lex do you want me to pass you the salad?
Lexie: no thanks I am good
Odalie: are you sure? The dressing is really good plus salad's really healthy
Lexie: (gasps) I had no idea
Jaden: lex cool it
Lexie's pov
I rolled my eyes and decided to just stay quiet no matter how much I wanted to grab my spaghetti and marinara sauce at her when the waitress brought it out. I took a bite of the pasta and I could feel Odalie looking at me from across the table so I kicked her under the table and she glared at me not that I cared.
End of pov
Lexie: so Quinton I know you guys met at like the skate park but what else do you know about her? How do you know she's not going to be another Cynthia or worse
Quinton: Lexie why would you say that??
Lexie: I am just doing my job as a little sister looking out for her big brother (says innocently)
Odalie: well aren't you adorable
Lexie: I am not five
Odalie: are you sure?
Quinton: Oadlie
Odalie: what? She's been taking shots at me all night
Quinton: okay well how about both of you stop taking shots, lex I get your just being protective but be nice
Lexie: (mumbles) fine
Lexie's pov
Finally the horrible dinner ended and Quinton went back in his car with the girl that's going to make my life a nightmare, coop was going to go back to sab's house so I was stuck with Jaden and ness. The whole car ride I just kept thinking about how much of a nightmare Oadlie is going to be, there's no way she actually likes Quinton she's just trying to get under my skin. Do I tell him I know her and just pretended not too or do I keep acting like I don't and catch her in the act when we are alone?
End of pov
(Jaden pulls into the driveway of ness's house)
Nessa: bye Jae (smiles and pecks him on the lips) bye lex (smiles at her)
(Lexie looks up at her, ignores her and then looks back down)
Jaden: thanks for trying
Nessa: yeah we'll talk tomorrow
Jaden: sounds good
Lexie's pov
The drive home was quiet and then when we got home I went to the room and changed into some pajamas and I just chilled on the bed scrolling through TikTok until I heard a knock on the door.
End of pov
Lexie: come in
Jaden: (opens the door) you want to watch a movie? I made popcorn.. we can watch it in my room
(Lexie stays quiet for a minute) okay (gets off the bed and follows Jaden to his room)
Jaden: what do you want to watch?
Lexie: I don't know you pick (grabs a piece of popcorn)
Jaden: (scrolls through Disney plus) the pacifier you used to love that as a kid
Lexie: yeah I remember... okay put it on
Jaden's pov
I put on the pacifier and I pulled her close to me and for the first time in a while she didn't push me away and cuddled into me. I wrapped my arms around her and when she finished I popped the pacifier in her mouth and eventually she fell asleep and I did too.
End of pov
