Thursday
Knock knock knock
Josh: (mumbles) come in
Rafy: (opens the door) hey josh I am sorry to wake up but I need to have a meeting with you and Bryce about Ani
Josh: (opens his eyes) okay what time is it?
Rafy: ten thirty
Josh: shit I slept in (gets up from the bed) I am supposed to have breakfast with mark at eleven is this meeting going to be quick or can we do it when I get back?
Rafy: I just have to tell you and Bryce something it shouldn't be longer then ten, fifteen minutes
Josh: okay I'll meet you downstairs (walks into his closet)
Rafy: okay (leaves the room and closes the door)
Jaden: babe come cuddle (whines)
Josh: I can't I have to talk to Rafy and then I am meeting mark for breakfast
Jaden: aw okay can I at least get a kiss (puckers his lips)
Josh: I suppose one kiss wouldn't hurt (leans over and kisses him and then throws on a t shirt with a picture of a fruit basket and a pair of ripped jeans, white sneakers and puts on a hat)
Jaden: very professional babe
Josh: I am not going to get all dressed up if we are going to be outside
Jaden: good point
Josh: what are you doing later today?
Jaden: I have some stuff to do for MTV since they named me push artist of the month (smiles)
Josh: oh shit babe that's awesome congrats! (Hugs him)
Jaden: thanks
Josh: are you going to take lex or is she staying with the boys?
Jaden: I think I'll let her stay with the boy and then pick her up to rehearse for tour
Josh: alright well have a good day, I love you and I'll call you in a bit
Jaden: okay you too (pecks him on the lips and josh walks downstairs)
In the living room
Bryce: so what's up Rafy?
Rafy: Walmart has agreed to sell Ani Energy in stores specifically the ones in The Carolinas to start off so tomorrow we are flying to South Carolina
Bryce: that's sick as fuck
Josh: yeah it is but we leave tomorrow? Couldn't they have given us a little bit more of a notice
Rafy: no they want to do it opening weekend
Josh: okay we'll make it work then so we leave tomorrow and when do we come back?
Rafy: Sunday
Josh: okay sounds good, can you make sure that whatever meetings I might have get pushed to Monday and Tuesday?
Rafy: yeah no worries
Josh: thanks now I gotta go I'll see you guys later (walks out of the house)
Bryce: you could tell he's in business mode
Rafy: oh yeah definitely, what are you planning on doing today?
Bryce: Tana's coming over and we are filming
Rafy: okay sounds good I am going to see what the other boys are up too
Bryce: okay
Scene change (one hour later)
Lexie's pov
I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was that I was in the room by myself but I could hear the boys downstairs so I knew I wasn't by myself and that calmed my nerves immediately. I got out of bed and grabbed my laptop and my camera since today was the day I upload the video and expose Odalie for the bitch she is. Is this a bad idea? Yeah, am I going to end up on TikTok room? Probably but it's been a while since I have been on there so fuck it I don't care. I walked downstairs and saw Griffin was on his laptop typing, Kio was streaming, Blake and Noah were nowhere to be seen and Bryce was opening the door for Tana.
End of pov
Lexie: Tana! (Runs and hugs her)
Tana: hey beautiful (hugs her)
Lexie: what are you doing here?
Tana: filming with Bryce
Bryce: yeah I need her for the views (jokes)
Lexie: did your views go down after you lost to Austin (teases)
Bryce: haha funny, and no they did not
Tana: yes they did don't lie
Bryce: would you shush J Rod is filming right now and I don't need the viewers hearing that
Lexie: sucks to be you
Bryce: don't you have your own video to upload go do that and stop teasing us
Tana: us? I think she was teasing you
Lexie: indeed I was
Bryce: alright you made your point go run along now child
Lexie: I will bite you, but your right I need to eat and upload the video, see you later Tana
Tana: later cutie
(Lexie walks into the kitchen and grabs a bowl along with cereal, milk and sits down)
Lexie: is it weird that I low key ship Tana and Bryce (looks at griffin)
Griffin: don't jinx it they would be the most problematic couple on the internet, she's the girl version of Bryce
Lexie: exactly why they would be perfect together (takes a bite of cereal)
Griffin: don't even think about it (keeps typing on his computer)
Lexie: I got josh and Jaden together, would it be that crazy if I got them together?
Griffin: yes and then we would have two Bryce's living with us is that what you want?
Lexie: I want him to be happy and he's hanging out with Tana more and smiling
Griffin: that's deep but this is Tana we are talking about one minute she's with Chris, the next minute she's with Harry and then rumored to be with Jeff witttek
Lexie: true but I think if she finds the right guy she could fall in love she was with Bella and Jake for a long time so it's not like she can't commit
Griffin: lex I get where your coming from and I want nothing more then to see Bryce happy but I don't know if Tana is that person
Lexie: (shrugs her shoulders and takes another bite) you never know
A few minutes later
Lexie's pov
I finished eating and then opened up my laptop and started the process of uploading the video and in the meantime I decided to post on social media and when to my story and started recording.
End of pov
Story video
Lexie: what's up everyone! New YouTube video coming out in five minutes and your not going to want to miss this one because
(Quinton walks up behind her)
Quinton: she exposes my bitch of a girlfriend so if everyone is wondering why Odalie and I aren't together go find out in her video
Lexie: where did you even come from?
Quinton: I was walking downstairs when I heard you recording
Lexie: oh okay well anyways guys go check out the video! Peace
Quinton: later
(Lexie ends the story and posts it and five minutes later it's uploaded and Lexie looks at Quinton)
Lexie: want to make a Tik tok with me?
Quinton: sure why not which one are we doing?
Lexie: ooo let's do hop in my ride
Quinton: okay a little throwback I am down
Lexie's pov
I grabbed my phone and went on TikTok and pressed the record button and found the sound and stood in front of the camera with Quinton a little bit behind me since he was taller then me anyway and when the sound started we started. It took a couple takes but we finally got it and I posted it with caption "exposed my arch enemy and Q's Gf in my YouTube video go check it out!" Then I did a quick snap chat video too and I was done.
End of pov
Lexie: what are your plans today?
Quinton: skate park with Cooper
(Cooper walks down the stairs)
Cooper: ready to go?
Quinton: yeah (looks at lex) you want to come with?
Lexie: sure why not (shrugs her shoulders) give me ten minutes to change
Quinton: okay we'll wait in the car
Lexie's pov
I walked upstairs to my room and quickly changed into a simple crop top with a pair of jeans since I don't really know how to skateboard and I don't want to hurt myself. I also grabbed my notebook and a pen and put it in my purse in case I get board of skating and headed downstairs.
End of pov
Griffin: where are you going?
Lexie: skatepark with Q and Coop
Griffin: okay have fun
Lexie: later
(Walks out of the house and towards the car and gets inside)
Cooper: fair warning lex we like to play the music loud in here
Lexie: fine by me but Q can you play one of your un released songs I still haven't heard any
Quinton: yeah I'll put chaos since it's coming out in a week (puts it on the radio)
Lexie's pov
They blasted chaos and I have to admit Quinton has a pretty good voice it was a lot more rock influenced then pop but it still had a little bit of that element which is cool. I liked it a lot and then he played another one that he recorded with Jaden and Nessa but said that one was never going to be released and I figured it's for the best since they aren't together anymore there's no need to start that fire up again. Ten minutes later we got to the park and the boys got their skate boards out and headed to the bowl and I followed them.
End of pov
Cooper: have you ever skate boarded before lex?
Lexie: nope
Cooper: hop on then (puts his skate board on the ground)
Lexie: how am I supposed to stand?
Quinton: which hand is your dominant one?
Lexie: my right
Quinton: okay so your right foot is going to go in front of the board and your left is going to go on the back
Lexie: okay (stands on the board but starts losing balance) hold my hand
Cooper: I got you (holds it) if you fall and get hurt your brother would kill me
Lexie: oh well nice to know you care (playfully rolls her eyes)
Cooper: I do care but I also value my life
Lexie: good point, okay what am I supposed to do?
Quinton: kick off with your foot
Lexie's pov
I listened to Quinton and almost lost my balance but Cooper caught me and then I tried again but almost fell and then I tried again and again but eventually I just let the boys skateboard and I walked over to a bench under a tree and looked around and saw a cold stone not to far away and It's pretty hot so an ice cream doesn't sound too bad.
End of pov
Lexie: Q!
Quinton: yeah? (Looks across at her)
Lexie: I am going across to get some ice cream
Quinton: okay
Lexie's pov
I got up from the bench and walked across to the ice cream place and ordered a cookie dough and while I waited a girl walked up to me and I immediately put my guard up.
End of pov
?: hi Lexie I was wondering if I could get a picture!
Lexie: yeah of course (smiles) what's your name?
?: Mary and I am a huge fan, I love your vlogs and I want to be a dancer just like you
Lexie: aww that's the sweetest thing anything has said, how old are you Mary?
Mary: thirteen
Lexie: we'll keep going after what you want and I promise you'll get there
Mary: thank you.. can I hug you!
Lexie: of course (pulls her in for a hug and takes a picture)
Mary: thank you
Lexie: no problem
Worker: cookie dough for Lexie Hossler
Lexie: that's me thank you (takes the cup and lays)
Worker: no problem that will be $3.50
Lexie: here you go (passes it to her)
(Lexie leaves the ice cream parlor and starts walking back to the skate park)
?: Lexie over here!
Lexie: (turns around) oh hi fletcher
Fletcher: how are you?
Lexie: I am good and you?
Fletcher: good so the fans want to know how have you been since the shooting?
Lexie: it wasn't really a shooting.. it was more like a one shot and done kind of thing (starts playing with her fingers)
Fletcher: so after everything that happened have you changed in any type of way?
Lexie: what do you mean?
Fletcher: well after an event like that anyone would change so how do you think you've changed the most?
Lexie: I guess live every day like it's your last as cliche as it sound, but I should get going I don't want the boys to get worried
(Starts turning around)
Fletcher: wait one more question
Lexie's pov
Okay he was really starting to annoy me like first he finds me at ice cream shop, then he asks really invasive questions and now he can't take a hint. So I turned around and gave him a fake smile.
End of pov
Lexie: what's the question?
Fletcher: what would you say to the haters who have said that you should have been hurt?
Lexie: your kidding right?
Fletcher: no my DM's have been blowing up, they want you to make a statement to the haters
Lexie: well how's this for a statement don't stalk a sixteen year old with your fucking camera and ask personal questions better yet you and the haters who are in your dms can fuck off (walks away and towards the boys)
Cooper: what took so long?
Lexie: I am sure you'll see it on tik tok room eventually (sits on the bench and takes a bite of her ice cream)
Cooper: okay well we are going to skate for another thirty minutes and then head back to the house
Lexie: okay
(Cooper walks away and Lexie takes another bite of the ice cream and pulls out her notebook)
Lexie's pov
I looked over the lyrics for bite me that I had so far and saw that I stopped at what I think is going to be the chorus which ends at hey you, and we'll be together never so baby you can bite me. I thought about what just happened with the paparazzi and the haters and then wrote down the next verse which started with don't hold your breath, cause you're still choking on your words, those things you said, might be the last ones that I heard, so come pick up your clothes from the front yard, sprinklers on, burn the rest of the backyard, should've had the guts just to say goodbye, now you're going to have regrets for the rest of your life.
End of pov
Ring ring ring
(Lexie puts down her pen and answers her phone)
Lexie: hey bubba
Jaden: hey are you at the house?
Lexie: no I am to the skatepark with Quinton and coop
Jaden: okay i am going to pick you up from there and then we have rehearsal with kells
Lexie: okay how far are you?
Jaden: like fifteen minutes
Lexie: okay see you soon
Jaden: later
End of phone convo
(Lexie picks up her pen again)
Lexie's pov
I read over the lyrics and started humming the melody that Jaden put for it yesterday and liked how it sounded so far so I continued on with the chorus again after the second verse and then started with the third verse. I thought about the words that the haters have said in the past about me and I came up with I bet you taste me on the tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue, I fell fast when I know I should've run, know I should've run, know I should've run, I bet you taste me on the tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue, tip of your tongue I fell fast when I should've run, when I know I should've run, know I should've run...
End of pov
Beep beep beep
(Lexie looks up from her pen and sees Jaden's car)
Lexie: Cooper!
Cooper: yeah?
Lexie: Jaden's here to pick me up!
Cooper: oh okay, are you heading to rehearsal?
Lexie: yeah
Cooper: okay have fun see you back at the house
Lexie: okay byee!
(Gets up from the bench, throws the ice cream cup away and walks over to his car and opens the door)
Jaden: hey princess
Lexie: hey bubba where were you today?
Jaden: I had some stuff to do for MTV, how was the park?
Lexie: I got on the skateboard a few times, then gave up, ate some ice cream, met a fan and bitched out fletcher then continued to write my song
Jaden: hold up back up you did what to fletcher?
Lexie: I bitched him out
Jaden: why?
Lexie: he was asking invasive questions
Jaden: (sighs and puts the car in drive) is it going to end up on tik tok room?
Lexie: probably
Jaden: great
Lexie: I also uploaded the YouTube video today
Jaden: have you checked social media?
Lexie: (shakes her head) no I don't want to look at the comments at least not right now but I'll look when we get home later
Jaden: okay
Lexie's pov
A thirty minute drive later we arrived at the studio and I said hi to Tom, kenji and Kells who brought Cassie with him so she came up and gave me a hug.
End of pov
Cassie: hey lex
Lexie: hey Cass how are you?
Cassie: good and you? My dad says your performing with him that's awesome!
Lexie: yeah but between you and me I am nervous
Cassie: don't be the fans are going to love you
Kells: what up little hossler (daps up Lexie)
Lexie: not much and you?
Kells: making music never stops, speaking of music have you worked on the song?
Lexie: yeah can you look at it after practice?
Kells: yeah you can hop on the mic too
Lexie: okay (smiles)
(Travis walks inside the studio)
Travis: alright who's ready to get started?
Jaden: the both of us your the one that's late (jokes)
Travis: yeah yeah you can thank bama for that, she needed a ride last minute and Landon had to study for a test but I am here now so let's get started (sits down at the chair) hey little hossler
Lexie: is that going to be my new nickname?
Travis: yeah it fits
Lexie: haha very funny
Travis: alright let's start off with Jaden
Jaden: okay
Halfway through rehearsal
Travis: Jaden is your throat okay?
Jaden: yeah why does it sound bad?
Travis: no you sound great but it's just a little raspy, have you had water today?
Jaden: not really (says hoarsely)
Travis: go drink a bottle of water and we'll take three
(Jaden nods his head and wipes the sweat from his forehead and walks over to the water bottles and grabs one and takes a sip)
Jaden: does it sound bad? (Looks at Lexie)
Lexie: no I just think your voice is probably not used to singing every single day and you going all out you know, your body isn't used to it
Jaden: yeah that makes sense, how did you know?
Lexie: well your voice is an instrument just like a dancers instrument is their legs and if you don't stretch properly you can't perform your best
Jaden: when did you get so smart? (Takes a sip of water)
Lexie: (shrugs her shoulder) that's just common sense to me
Travis: Jaden ready to start again?
Jaden: yeah (chugs the rest of the water)
Lexie's pov
Jaden finished his set and his voice definitely sounded a lot better after he drank water, his throat was probably dry. I drank a bottle while I was watching so when kells was ready to sing forget me, I was good to go and got up from the couch and grabbed the microphone. I am starting to get used to having a microphone in my hand honestly, at first it felt weird especially since I had to have my mouth so close to it but after the second hour of using it I was used to it. Kells and I sang forget me and then I sat back down on the couch with Cassie.
End of pov
Cassie: I didn't know you could sing like that! I mean I knew it you sang obviously since you did it at the roof top but you looked like a natural
Lexie: aww thanks Cassie I appreciate it honestly
Cassie: your welcome
Lexie's pov
Rehearsals finally finished around six and we said bye to everyone and got in the car, I felt so tired that I just laid my head on the window shield while Jaden turned the radio on and eventually I felt my eyes close. The next time I opened my eyes I was laying on the couch in the living room so Jaden carried me inside and probably laid me out here instead of upstairs in the bed room, I got up to look for the boys and heard them talking in the kitchen so I walked over there and that's when I saw that they were watching the Hollywood fix video on tik tok room.
End of pov
Griffin: (sighs) how many times do we have to tell you to just say no comment and walk away?
Lexie: you are telling me that if fletcher went up to you and asked those same exact questions you wouldn't say something back?
Griffin: no I probably would but I wouldn't have just cursed at him like that
Lexie: oh well (shrugs her shoulders)
Josh: we'll let it slide given the fact that he was asking you about the situation but next time just walk away or say no comment
Lexie: okay (pulls out her phone)
Anthony: what are you doing?
Lexie: I just want to see how the YouTube video is going (goes to YouTube)
Anthony: okay but remember
Lexie: don't pay attention to the haters yeah I got it
Lexie's pov
I went to the YouTube video and saw it almost had five thousand views already which isn't bad given that it's only my second or third YouTube video, and a majority of them liked the video and only had a few dislikes. I scrolled down to the comments and saw a few that were like "Lexie exposing Odalie is such a bad bitch move" "she's showing everyone that no one messes with Lexie hossler and gets away with it" "she's the definition of women empowerment" and then of course there were others that said "how petty do you have to be to expose your bully" "the only way she can remain relevant is by creating drama" "it's not enough for her to be Jaden hossler's little sister, but she also has to expose her bully how pathetic" "she's such an attention seeker at this point" well that's enough of that then I went on Instagram and went on tik tok room. A majority of the comments were about how he shouldn't have asked me about the incident, others said that I acted like a spoiled brat. How does that even make sense? I don't even know but it's whatever, I had enough of the comments and put my phone down and looked at the boys were just talking.
End of pov
Kio: what should we do for dinner tonight?
Anthony: want to invite the girls and go out?
Jaden: honestly I am exhausted
Josh: same I think we should stay in, plus Bryce and I have to go to North Carolina tomorrow
Jaden: what? For how long?
Josh: just the weekend, Ani's going to be sold in the Walmart's over there
Jaden: congrats babe, look at you making money moves
Josh: thanks but honestly we are all doing big things
Quinton: you are telling me, Blake and Noah are so busy getting into modeling they are barely even here
Griffin: so then do you guys just want to wait till we are all together to go out?
Josh: yeah because if we don't all go we are going to wake up tomorrow with the head line sway's breaking up!? (Says in a mocking shocked voice)
Lexie: (laughs) you aren't wrong, but since we are staying in I am going to shower and get comfy and then watch a movie?
Jaden: yeah sounds good
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
I walked upstairs to my room and looked in my little closet and pulled out a gray and pink bunny designed footie onesie with a hoodie and walked into the bathroom, I took off my clothes and jumped into the shower, I washed myself and then my hair and wrapped a towel around me. I dried my hair with a blow dryer and then got dressed and put the hoodie on and walked downstairs just as the front door opened and blake and Noah walked in.
End of pov
Blake: when did we get a bunny? (Looks at Noah)
Noah: (plays along) I don't know but she's a cute bunny
Lexie: I am not a bunny, I am just dressed like one
Noah: oh I had no idea (jokes) how was your day?
Lexie: it was busy how was yours?
Noah: same we had a photo shoot with the girls
Lexie: oh cool tell them I said hi, we are going to watch a movie you want to join us?
Blake: yeah we'll take a quick shower and join you
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
Blake and Noah walked upstairs and I walked into the living room and saw griffin and Kio cuddling on the couch and then josh and Jaden on the other couch so I joined them. I walked over to the couch and climbed in the middle.
End of pov
Jaden: well hello there bunny
Lexie: hi
Josh: what made you want to wear the onesie?
Lexie: it's comfy... can I be little?
Jaden: if you want
Lexie: okay! Can I have my pacifier?
Jaden: yeah I'll be right back (gets off the couch and comes back with a pink glitter one that says princess and has a little crown on it and passes it to her)
Lexie: thank you (pops it in her mouth)
Jaden's pov
All it took was her onesie and a pacifier along with Enchanted for her to slip into little space. And she started humming to the songs and babbling whenever she wanted to talk about what was happening in the movie as if we weren't watching it. But it was cute and she was happy so I just let her do what she wanted. Halfway through the movie she started whining about how she was hungry so josh got up made her mac and cheese.
End of pov
(Twenty minutes later)
Lexie: bob bob mac and cheese!
Josh: you mean sponge bob mac and cheese
Lexie: dat's what I say bob bob mac and cheese
Josh: (laughs) okay fine bob bob mac and cheese
Lexie: dada feed me, I hungry!
Josh: okay okay (picks up a pink fork and puts a piece of Mac and cheese on in)
Lexie's pov
Dada fed me while I finish watching enchanted and after da movie bubba gave me milk and i fall asleep.
End of pov
