Living with Tayler Holder

Chapter 3: Meeting sway

"Do you think she dreams in British?"
"No Bryce don't be stupid. But she does breathe weird. Kinda like the queen. Omg do you think she knows the queen?!"
I was hearing multiple voices right now as I lay in my bed very much awake but with my eyes shut. I have to open my eyes otherwise these people won't shut up. Just woman up and do it. I opened my eyes to be greeted with three random boys looking down at me like some sort of alien. I did the first and only thing that came to my mind in the moment. Scream.

"Grace are you ok?!!" Tayler rushed into the room followed by another shorter boy looking for the threat only to be met with the three boys hovering over my body.
"You guys, I told you she was jet lagged. She was just getting some sleep."
"We know but we just wanted to see what she looked like. She's really pretty by the way man." One of the boys said.
"And she's 16." I said to the boy who made that remark.
"Omg Bryce almost caught a case" the short black haired boy beside Tayler said laughing clutching his stomach.
"Shut up Kio" the boy who I now know to be Bryce said to Kio through gritted teeth.
"You guys need to stop messing about with my sister and introduce yourselves." Tayler said starting to get fed up with the boys.
"Your sister?" The boy to my left said in confusion.
"Yh I know we don't look exactly related but he's my god brother. Our parents are friends. So are you going to tell we who you are or what?"
"Alright alright. I'm Bryce, that's Kio and those guys are Blake and Noah." Bryce said pointing to each of the guys in the room.
"Right, so are you guys part of the triller compound?" I said not knowing who the hell they were and why they were STILL in my room. An awkward silence took over the room as the boys looked at me in pure disbelief as Tayler stood in the doorway awkwardly scratching the back of his head like I had said something wrong.
"Are you for real right now?" Noah said looking at me.
"Wait so you deadass don't know who we are?" Blake said shocked.
"Um..sorry guys. In England we don't pay too much attention to American tiktokers." I said cautiously.
All of a sudden I was pulled into a hug by the four boys I had met about 5 seconds ago.
"Omg it's been so long since we met someone who doesn't know who we are." Kio said exhaling a breath I didn't realise he was holding.
"Yh it's actually great to meet someone like you. You're like a breath of fresh air"
Yh it was starting to get weird now.
"Yh can you lot chill out. Is it really that deep? I mean it looks like I got here just in time to humble you guys. But still you didn't answer my question. Who are you?"
"They're the sway boys" Tayler spoke from the doorway he was leaning on.
"And they're going to leave you alone now so you can get ready for dinner" Tayler said as he began to drag the boys out one by one by their collars as they acted like he was choking them to death. I giggled as Tayler shut the door behind him and I walked into my en-suite to shower and freshen up before dinner.

After showering I got changed into this before heading downstairs:

"Hey guys" I said as everyone turned to me and greeted me as I walked into the dining area. The sway boys had decided to stay for a while.
"I swear to god I'll never get tired of that accent" Markell said as the others agreed.
"Aww thanks, you guys are too sweet." I said as I sat down between Tayler and Nate as Tayler passed me a McDonald's bag. I ate as much as I could before stopping and joining in with the conversation everyone was having.
"So Grace what's your favourite thing about London?" Chase asked me.
"Well it's probably the people. In a way they're the best and worst thing all at the same time. Everyone in London sort of shares the same sarcastic humour that would be way to complex for other countries to understand. It's kinda perfect. But London can be pretty dangerous too. It's not all sunshine and rainbows." I started to zone out as I remembered it all. It all came rushing back to me as a tear slipped from my eye.
"Um Grace are you ok?" Kelianne asked me as I quickly zoned back in.
"Er Yh I'm fine" I said trying to convince everyone I was ok but none of them seemed to buy it as they were all still looking at me with concerned looks on their faces.
"Look I'll tell you when I'm ready" I said as they finally looked away. But Tayler stayed looking at me with a look that said 'we'll talk about this later'.
"Anyways anyone wanna make a TikTok" Bryce said. I tried my very hardest but I couldn't hold it in. I bursted out laughing so hard that I was fully on the floor in tears. Nobody clearly got it as they all gave me weird stares as I tried to compose myself.
"I'm sorry..it's just that...I never thought I'd hear anyone say that with a straight face"
"You're just a hater girl. I'm sure it'll grow on you eventually" Markell said rolling his eyes.
"Whatever you say" I said unconvinced as I got up and started to head upstairs to my room. I had to get out of there before I started saying things I couldn't take back. Let's just say this TikTok lifestyle just isn't for me.

I carefully slipped into bed as I drifted off into a deep sleep. These guys aren't half bad and I think LA will be more fun than I ever expected.
