No one really wanted to film this video but it needed to be done. We are all just sitting around the couch with nobody, in particular, wanting to speak. Luke moved out two days ago and we haven't done any filming since the Twister incident, which was about four days ago. Tyler said it was a good thing that we filmed two videos at the beginning of the week. Darren didn't have any bruising or swelling but his face was still a little pink in certain areas. Finally, Justin calls for me or Oli to open the video so that we can get this over with. I take one look at my brother and know that I'll be the one doing the video this time. "Hey stars, welcome back to our channel. If you have looked at any of our social media accounts, you would know that we have some bad news to tell you."

"Luke is no longer with us," Regie chimed in rather quickly. Kane gently swatted him on the back of the neck.

"Luke will no longer be a part of the group at this point. We will not be answering any questions on why and how at this time, out of respect for Luke and his family," I finish out. It turns out that Luke was having family problems at home but he was taking it out on all of us. He still broke the rules so Manager Ty said that we had to follow through on the agreement. I don't care what Oli says; Luke has always been like this. We then did individual screening for the rest of the video. We are in the process of moving before the Meet and Greet in New York. So it was just us packing up.

I have a lot of stuff but Ryan seems to have the most or is it Kane? Ryan has a lot of clothes. Kane has a whole gaming system. Oli and I share clothes so I only have half to pack. This is the third time that we have moved in two months. This time it's to Vegas. Kane and Ty are the only ones that can actually do anything there but whatever. "Bro, I know that is not my hoodie," Darren comes in as I am throwing clothing in various suitcases. "If you wanted it, you could've just asked," he continues as he sits on my bed. I roll my eyes.

"What do you want Darren?" I say with a sigh. I've learned to ask him for the point right off the bat otherwise we could be here all day. Oli disappeared an hour ago. "Darren!"

"I just wanted to know if you need any help. Geez," Darren gets offensive. I point him in the direction of the bathroom with a black and neon green drawstring bag. I fold another pair of sweatpants to place in the suitcase. But by this time I'd been packing for three hours now and I wanted boba. Hey, does anybody want to go for boba? I text the NSB group chat.

Ryan: Bet

Justin: I'm down

Darren: I'm literally in your bathroom

Ryan: What did he say?

Justin: I don't even know how to respond to that

Justin took Ryan, Darren, and me for boba since nobody else responded. I took shotgun next to Justin and Ryan sat behind me. He had his headphones on so I blasted "Blinding Lights" from The Weeknd. "Bro, why do you do this every single time?" Justin complains. He lowers the volume but Darren and I shout the lyrics at the top of our lungs.

"I'm blinded by the lights. No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch," Darren and I shout. Justin's just laughing while driving through the streets of Palm Springs. I catch Ryan watching us out of the corner of my eye before his gaze returns out the window.

It's 9:30 pm when Oli finally walks in the front door. Darren and I are in the kitchen laughing at a joke that he just made. It is quite possible that Oli could smell the chow mein from the door. Regie looks up from his spot on the couch. "Dude, where have you been? I've been calling you." Oli just shakes Regie off and joins us in the kitchen.

"You good, bro?" I ask him. He doesn't answer me either. He is clearly acting weird.

Ryan Justin Kane Regie Darren Seb Bae GroupChat

Seb: Guys, we need to interrogate Oliver.

Darren: I agree. He's acting weird.

Regie: He blew me off

Bae: Did you guys want to film it?

Seb: Actually yeah, we can do it for a video

Justin: That would be freaking hilarious

Kane: Ok

Seb: Ryan, you in?

Ryan read this.

Justin: Ryan?

Ryan: Fine

I look over at Darren. Ryan's been acting weird. So after we all eat, we wait for Oliver to fall asleep before the whole interrogation thing.

"What's up, stars?" Kane says to the camera. We are standing in the foyer right now. "So Oliver has been acting really weird. He disappeared while we were packing earlier around two p.m.?" He looks at me to confirm which I do. "Yeah, two and did not come home until 9:30."

"He blew us all off when we tried to ask him about it," Darren adds.

"Right, so Seb suggested doing an interrogation video," Kane continues. Darren nudges Ryan accidentally.

"Bro, get off of me," Ryan says in the background. We all head upstairs with Bae and the camera following us. I open the door to the room that I share with my brother. Justin blindfolds him from behind while Regie and I carry him to a chair in the garage. Kane gently pulls Oliver's arms behind the chair and slides a tiny floaty over his wrists. Justin finally removes the blindfold. Oliver did not look happy.

"Oliver James Moy," Kane says so casually. "Everyone wants to know why you have been acting so weird. Why are you avoiding our questions? Do you have something to hide? Where did you go for seven and a half hours?"

"Trust me. You don't want to know," his eyes found mine when he said that. I got a weird feeling. He starts to sing and my blood goes cold. "Pick her up it's passed curfew. Sneak her out of the window. Always looking so beautiful. She's a baddie too." I could feel Ryan's eyes on me. Oli's singing a song we wrote together when it was just us The Moy Boys. Up All Night. He was right. I don't want to know.

Hey guys, I honestly don't know how long this story is going to go on and I don't care because I love this. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Let me know how I am doing with this. The next chapter is going to be titled: Meet And Greet.
