Two Worlds Collide

Part 5

The day was pretty uneventful like most days for me at this house at least. I can hear the boys in the living room screaming and doing god knows what. I am in my room trying to find a good job somewhere in the LA area since I need to do something other than just sitting here all day and doing nothing but listening to them screaming. I don't really know what I am looking to do but something that will get me enough money to live on my own in this expensive ass city. "DREW!! GET DOWN HERE!!!" I hear Jake calling my name from upstairs I can only imagine what could be going on that they need me. But I get out of my bed and go downstairs."What do you need Jake?" I say as I walk down the stairs and look into the living room. Jake is being held down to the floor with Sharpies all over his face. I start laughing "What the heck happened to you?" "Drew please just help me get them off of me," He says struggling to talk with Sam and Colby on top of him with Cory drawing on his face. "I don't know Jake this is pretty funny to me. Corey gave me the marker" "DREW YOU CAN"T TURN ON ME." I decided not to draw him and tried to help but it wasn't like there was much I could do I'm a 5'4" girl who weighs maybe 120 lbs. I go over by Sam and push him but all he does is grab me and throw me over his shoulder running outside towards the pool. "SAM I SWEAR YOU BETTER NOT!" I am screaming and kicking for him to let me down but before I know it I am in the pool. Once I emerge from the water all the boys are standing around laughing at me. "What the hell Sam why did you do that?!?" "Sorry sis" He was laughing at me. I looked over at Colby who was also laughing and I swam over by him. "Can you help me out please?"I said batting my eyes "Sure," He said between laughs, before he had a lot of time to think I pulled him into the pool with me. He came up and I could tell he wasn't happy. "GOTCHA BITCH" I yelled and the boys were screaming they all ended up jumping in and we all played around for a while before getting out and drying off. I went back up to my room to try and find a job again but finding it is so hard. I heard my phone go off and I looked at it and it was an Instagram DM from Colby. Why was Colby DMing me?

*Colby*: Hey, I don't have your number so I found your Instagram. Thanks for pushing me into the pool. What did I do to you? 😢 

*Drew*: Awe, No problem I thought you looked a little hot 😉 

*Colby*: Oh really? I could say the same about you 😊 

What is going on right now? Why am I flirting with Colby? WAIT why is Colby flirting with me?! Pretty sure you aren't supposed to flirt with your brother's BEST FRIEND Drew!  But for some reason, I can't help myself. 

*Colby*: We are having a party tonight, you are coming down to it, right?

*Drew*: I didn't even know there was a party but yeah I guess I will.

*Colby*: Great can't wait 😉.

I throw my phone on my bed, Gahhh why does he have such an effect on me? I decided to text Kat because I have nothing to wear to a party in all honestly what do you wear to a party? 

*Drew*: Hey so I guess we are having this party and I was wondering can you help me figure out what I am going to wear to the party? I have never been to a party.

*Kat*: YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO PARTY YES!!! I'll be over in 5 minutes

Great now Kat will help me figure out what to wear to the party and then I will get to experience an actual party. But the only problem I am once again from Wisconsin. Wisconsin and California are completely different places. Thankfully Kat finally showed up after what felt like hours of me panicking about this stupid party and came into my room. "Let's find you something to wear," She said while going through my closet "Well all your clothes are cute but they are very country compared to the vibe of LA" She looked at me with a concerned look. "I know that's the problem, I don't have anything to wear, I could either dress like myself and look like an outcast or dress like an LA girl and not feel like myself" She looks at me confused. "what do you mean an outcast?" I let out a big sigh and sat down on my bed I guess it's time to get real with my brother's girlfriend. "Well back in Wisconsin at least from the area that I am from if you didn't dress like a so-called country girl, you didn't fit in and you were called fake so one day I went and bought a bunch of country-styled clothing to fit in but I still didn't fit in I was still the loser who tried too hard and I don't want to be that girl here. I know who I am and I don't want somebody to tell me I can't be myself, I love the clothes I wear" I look at the ground with tears in my eyes. I always try so hard to fit in, to be perfect but I know I'm not. Kat looked at me with sadness on her face "Drew you are perfect just the way you are, everyone has their own styles that's what makes everyone unique so I say we look through your closet and pick out an outfit of yours that you love and you wear that to the party. Screw everyone else, you deserve to be yourself." What she said to me made me realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. 

After going through my closet for a while we found an outfit that was perfect for the night.

I decided on a red striped crop top and some bell-bottom jeans with rips in the knees and my red Tony Loma boots and big bulky belt. It's not too country but at least it's more my style I came out of the bathroom and looked at Kat her jaw dropped when she looked at me. "Wow, you look amazing!" While jumping up and down and clapping. "Thanks" I replied while looking down and blushing slightly. Kat helped me do my makeup which we did with a light smokey eye and a red lip and lightly curled my brown hair. I gotta say I looked pretty damn good. I was so nervous to meet all of Sam's friends but meeting new people can help me spread my wings.
