Brothers Best Friend (Vinnie Hacker)

Chapter 33

We arrive at the bustling airport, and my excitement propels me inside.

"Why are you so excited to see him?" Jaden asks, bemused by my eagerness.

"Because he's my biggest idol," I reply with uncontained enthusiasm.

Then, I spot him walking out of the gate. Without hesitation, I rush over and leap into his arms. Payton drops his bags, wrapping me in a tight embrace.

"Hey, biggest fan," Payton says with a soft chuckle, reciprocating the hug.

"This is so crazy," I exclaim, finally releasing him. The other boys greet Payton, and we all pile into the car, heading back to Sway.

Back at Sway, we unwind by watching a movie and snapping some photos.

"Wanna go for a walk?" Payton whispers to me.

"Yeah," I reply, sharing his excitement.

"Do you have anything planned for this walk?" I tease.

"I thought we could grab some coffee and energy drinks. I'm running low," Payton suggests.

We walk in comfortable silence until I spot Fletcher with his camera down the street.

"Get ready," I whisper, veering right to avoid detection. We break into a run, and luck is on our side as we stumble upon a Dunkin Donuts.

"That was close," I remark, trying to catch my breath.

"That's what I don't miss about LA," Payton replies, and we share a laugh over our narrow escape.

As we sip our coffee, I upload some of the photos we took today onto Instagram, and Payton follows suit.

After picking up some energy drinks from the grocery store, we slowly make our way back to Sway.

"I'm seriously craving a dip in the pool now. It's scorching today," I say.

"Yeah, me too. Meet me at the pool in 5," Payton suggests, and I rush to Jaden's room while Payton heads to Josh's.

"Hey, Wife," I greet Nessa, who's lounging on the bed.

"Sup, babe?" Nessa responds.

"Can I borrow a bikini?" I inquire.

"Sure, just take whatever you want," Nessa offers.

I meet Payton at the pool, and we waste no time jumping in and splashing around.

"Isn't it a little too quiet?" I ponder.

"Yeah, the music stopped," Payton agrees. Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps and excited yells fills the air as all the Sway members and their significant others jump into the pool from the roof.

"Omg," I exclaim, as Payton pulls me behind a tree for cover.

"Oh, look at the two lovebirds behind the tree," Quinton teases.

"Shut up," Jaden retorts, playfully slapping his friend's neck.

"What?" Quinton asks innocently.

"You don't want to mess with Vinnie," Bryce interjects, prompting laughter from Payton and me.

"Who wants a soda?" Nessa calls out.

"Me," Payton and I chime in simultaneously.

"Can we get some alcohol?" Josh asks.

"Nope, today is an alcohol-free day," Bryce declares, earning grumbles from some of the boys.

"Come on, boys, one day without alcohol isn't going to kill you," I assert, earning myself some pointed glares.

After swimming for a while, I change into Nessa's hoodie and a pair of Jaden's shorts, then we order In&Out and enjoy a meal together while watching TV.

As the evening winds down, it's time for me to head home. I bid everyone farewell with hugs before hopping into the car.

Skipping to when I arrive back at the house

I walk in to find everyone embroiled in an argument.

"Wow, what's happening?" I inquire, puzzled by the tense atmosphere.

"I'm moving out,"
