"mom—"

"ricky!" lynne quickly yelled as ricky startled her. lynne and mike quickly turned around to see ricky standing at the door frame. ej and ashlyn looked up from their microphones and groaned in annoyance.

"mom, dad. i gotta talk to you about something important."

"we're literally in the middle of recording, ricky," ej called out into the microphone. ricky rolled his eyes and focused back on his parents. the boy could care less about the caswell siblings. they still had the audacity to be rude to every single person they meet, yet their careers have been a flop compared to nini's and ricky's.

"kid, not now," mike softly told his son as he pointed at the recording session, "we're in the middle of something here."

ricky groaned and checked behind him to see if lily was anywhere in sight. the boy quickly shut the door and locked it so she had no way of walking in on them. the caswell siblings came to the conclusion that ricky wasn't going anywhere and decided to leave the studio.

"this is important," ricky told his parents while ej and ashlyn walked into the room and sat on the sofa. ricky paced back and forth across the room, "you gotta fire lily, you just gotta."

"woah what? you wanna get rid of blondie?" ashlyn asks with shock, "just because you guys broke up?"

ricky glared at ashlyn and shook his head, "no, idiot. i could care less about the break up."

"ricky," lynne stated in a stern voice after hearing the boy's attitude towards ashlyn.

"i'm not an idiot, you're an idiot," ashlyn challenged back.

"remember when you were quite literally obsessed with me?" ricky spat back at ashlyn.

"that is so irrelevant right now," ej chimed in.

"you were too so shut up."

"for the last time, we weren't obsessed with you — it was your fame, idiot," ej argued back. 

"same fucking thing—"

"JUST.... get to the point," mike whined, not wanting to hear the same argument for the hundredth time. ricky, ashlyn, and ej all glared at each other before ricky continued. the boy let out a sigh and calmed himself down before continuing.

"you need to fire lily," ricky explained, "she's all butt hurt about the break up and is blackmailing me to stay with her."

"how is she blackmailing you?" lynne asks.

"she's said that she was gonna expose me by telling everyone that i cheated on nini and her. it's not right, you gotta do something."

"didn't you  ... like actually cheat on nini though?" ashlyn asks with a confused look. ricky's face fell and he looked at ashlyn with annoyance, "i mean like ... karma?"

"i'm sorry?? not you speaking when you literally stole her phone and locked her in a room for hours," ricky challenged back.

"we never said we were good people," ej simply stated, making ricky roll his eyes. ej let out a chuckle and cocked an eyebrow at ricky, "but did you?"

"did i what, caswell?"

"cheat."

"on nini?"

"well ... on nini and lily?"

"i —  okay, yes. i guess i technically cheated on nini—"

"— multiple timessss, right?" ashlyn awkwardly pointed out as she eyed the boy.
