Forced to live with Sway LA

Chapter 112

Thursday
Knock knock knock
Jaden: (mumbles) josh get the door
Josh: why me?
Jaden: because Baby's laying on my chest
Josh: (opens his eyes and sits up) didn't she fall asleep in her bed last night?
Jaden: yeah but I am guessing she woke up in the middle of the night because next thing I knew I felt arms around me
Josh: oh okay
?: if you don't open I am coming in but I don't want to be scarred for life
Josh: Bryce Lexie's in here! We wouldn't do anything come in and stop knocking
Bryce: (opens the door and walks in) hey so Rafy just called me and we need to be at the airport in an hour because Walmart just accepted Ani energy in Texas
Josh: and we have to leave this weekend?
Bryce: yeah they set up a meet and greet for tomorrow already
Josh: (looks at Jaden) this was supposed to be our last weekend together before you leave
Jaden: it's okay you have to go to work I understand (unwraps his arms around and leans in to kiss him)
Josh: are you sure?
Jaden: yeah
Josh: okay (looks at Bryce) I'll meet you down in an hour
Bryce: okay (walks out of the room)
Josh: (lays back down and lays his head in the crook of Jaden's neck and plays with his hands) I am going to miss you
Jaden: I am going to miss you too but you'll come in a couple weeks
Josh: it's going to be weird I just got used to having you guys around everyday
Jaden: I know me too (plays with Josh's hair) but we are going to be okay
Josh: you promise? (Looks at him)
Jaden: I promise (kisses him)
Josh: I should start getting ready
Jaden: good idea
(Josh gets up from the bed and walks into the bathroom to start getting ready)
One hour later
Jaden: got everything?
Josh: yeah I think so
Jaden: laptop?
Josh: hmm
Jaden: charger?
Josh: yup
Jaden: toothbrush?
Josh: that's what I forgot he right back (walks into the bathroom and comes back out with it)
Jaden: (laughs and stands up to wrap his arms around Josh's waist) what would you do without me?
Josh: go crazy (kisses him) should we wake up lex? I don't want to leave without saying bye to her
Jaden: yeah you two come downstairs when your done I am going to say bye to Bryce
Josh: okay
(Jaden walks out of the room and josh walks over to Lexie and lightly shakes her)
Lexie: hmm
Josh: lex wake up
Lexie: why (whines)
Josh: because I have to go on a last minute business trip
Lexie: (opens her eyes) your leaving? But this was our last weekend together
Josh: I know but it's for work I have to go
Lexie: (sighs and hugs him) your going to come in a few weeks right?
Josh: yeah (picks her up)
Lexie: I am going to miss you
Josh: I am going to miss you too but it's going to be okay, your going to have so much fun on tour and you'll come down here and I'll go up there, it's going to be okay
Lexie: okay if you say so
Josh: come on let's go say bye to Bryce
Lexie: okay
(Josh Carrie's Lexie downstairs where Bryce and Jaden are hugging)
Bryce: take care of yourself and have fun okay? You know your a rockstar and soon the world is going to know it too
Jaden: thanks Bryce, ay your coming with josh okay? I can't go months without your cracked humor (laughs)
Bryce: (laughs) bet
(Josh puts lexie down and she runs to hug Bryce)
Lexie: I am going to miss you
Bryce: I am going to miss you too kid, have fun, behave don't touch any of Kells' drugs
Jaden: (widens his eyes) I didn't even think of that maybe you should stay with josh (jokes)
Lexie: no (wraps his arms around Jaden) I won't do his drugs I promise
Jaden: I know I was just kidding baby
Rafy: alright guys we really got to go if we are going to make the jet
Josh: yeah just a second (looks at Jaden and holds his hands and whispers) I love you
Jaden: (playing with the ring on Josh's fingers) I love you too (wraps his arms around his neck) I am going to miss you (kisses him)
Josh: I am going to miss you so much (tears up)
Jaden's pov
My heart was breaking watching him tear up because it feels like after all the nessa drama we just got back together well not really since we never broke up but you get me we got used to living together again, and now I am leaving for months at a time and I know I said josh and I were going to survive it but are we really? A part of me always knew this day would come and I want to believe that our love can survive anything but who knows in all honesty. I wiped away one of Josh's tears and wrapped my arms around his neck while he wrapped his around my waist and we kissed one more time. This wasn't like the simple ones from this morning, this was more passionate and powerful almost like josh knew what I was thinking but we didn't want to say the words out loud just like our first kiss. We stopped kissing when we needed to breathe and that's when we came out of our bubble only to notice that lex had walked away and Bryce honked the horn indicating he was already in the car.
End of pov
Josh: I love you
Jaden: I love you too
Josh: be safe I'll call you later okay?
Jaden: okay text me when you land
Josh: I will (he walks out of the door)
(Jaden closes the door and griffin walks up beside him)
Griffin: you guys are going to be okay
Jaden: you think?
Griffin: your Jaden and josh when aren't you?
Jaden: (shrugs his shoulders) I don't know this is new territory
Griffin: it's just a new chapter and you'll get through it like you always do
Jaden: your right
Griffin: I know I am now what do you guys want for breakfast?
Jaden: actually I think I am just going to go for a drive maybe the studio, can you make sure lex eats though?
Griffin: yeah sure
Jaden: thanks (walks upstairs to change, grabs his keys and leaves the house)
Griffin: Lexie!
Lexie: yeah (playing with buddy)
Griffin: what do you want for breakfast?
Lexie: I don't know
Ring ring ring
(Lexie picks up her phone)
Phone convo
Lexie: hey Clare what's up?
Clare: hey I just wanted to see if you were busy today
Lexie: no I don't think so why?
Clare: do you want to have a girls day? We can go shopping
Lexie: yeah that sounds good, I need clothes for tour anyway
Clare: okay want to stop at star bucks on the way?
Lexie: sure are the other girls coming?
Clare: no they have rehearsals
Lexie: got it, okay I'll get ready and just text me when you are outside
Clare: okay bye girly
Lexie: byee
End of phone convo
Lexie: that was Clare she invited me to go to the mall with her and I'll just eat with her
Griffin: okay that's fine
Lexie: cool I am going to get ready (walks upstairs)
Lexie's pov
I walked up to my room and decided to take a quick shower and ten minutes later I got out wrapped a towel around me and walked over to the closet. After looking for something I decided on a purple rock and roll crop top with a pair of black ripped jeans and some doc martins, I left my hair down, brushed my teeth, grabbed my phone, purse and charger and walked downstairs where the boys were.
End of pov
Quinton: where are you off to?
Lexie: mall with Clare
Ant: did you eat?
Lexie: I am going to eat with Clare
Ant: oh okay
Noah: don't go shop lifting
Lexie: haha very funny let it go
Noah: hmm no (jokes)
Tweet tweet
(Lexie looks at her phone)
Lexie: she's outside I am going to head out
Kio: alright have fun, be safe!
Griffin: don't do anything stupid
Lexie: I won't byeee (walks out of the house and opens Clare's car door)
Clare: hey girly! (Leans in and hugs her)
Lexie: hi (smiles) how are you?
Clare: I am good how are you?
Lexie: good good how's faith?
Clare: already six months, maybe you can come over later tonight?
Lexie: yeah I'll have to ask Jaden but I don't see why not
Clare: cool (puts the car in drive) what else how are things with Landon?
Lexie: good he's in the studio today, how's the situation with Ricky?
Clare: we are back together
Lexie: again?!?
Clare: don't look at me like that... I love him
Lexie: you guys are worse then jads
Clare: he promised he's going to be faithful this time and I believe him, he's being really vulnerable and we are already going on two months without fighting that's progress for us
Lexie: yeah... if he hurts you again though I am killing him
Clare: I wouldn't expect anything less (turns the radio on)
Lexie's pov
On the way to the mall we listened to whatever was playing on the radio since we kept talking and catching up until we pulled up to Starbucks.
End of pov
Clare: what do you want?
Lexie: hmm a s'mores frappe with a croissant please
Clare: okay (orders Lexie's food and then hers)
Ten minutes later
Lexie's pov
Now that we had our Starbucks we were on our way to Mel rose since that's where the best shops are, Clare parked the car and as we were walking inside we saw Addison and Omar talking to you guessed it Hollywood fix.
End of pov
Clare: is this guy everywhere?
Lexie: all the places he thinks influencers are
Clare: good point where do you want to go in first? Hot topic
Lexie: maybe later they are supposed to putting my picture up along with my brothers and it's going to be really weird looking at myself
Clare: what!? Why didn't you tell me!? We have to go now (pulls her hand)
Lexie: Clare (whines)
Clare: come on I want to see! this is a big moment for you
Lexie: okay okay
(They start walking to hot topic)
Clare: my best friends on a billboard!
Lexie: (laughs and blushes) would you keep it down your going to draw
?: omg your Lexie hossler!
Lexie: attention (smiles and turns around) yeah I am what's your name?
?: I am ruby
Lexie: it's nice to meet you ruby do you want a picture?
Ruby: yes please next to your poster?
Lexie: yeah of course
Ruby: thanks
(They take the picture and ruby puts her phone in her pocket)
Ruby: I just want to say you really inspire me Lexie
Lexie: aww that's really sweet can I ask why?
Ruby: your just unapologetically yourself and you give girls like me confidence to be themselves too
Lexie: (tears up) aww thank you (hugs her) that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, do you have Instagram?
Ruby: yeah it's ruby.sapphire
Lexie: okay cool I'll follow you
Ruby: thanks Lexie have a good day
Lexie: you too
(Ruby walks away and Clare looks at Lexie)
Clare: think that's something you can get used to?
Lexie: maybe (laughs)
Clare: great now take a picture of you standing next to it so we can do some promo
Lexie: okay but one picture and then we really need to shop
Clare: bet
Lexie's pov
Clare took the picture and I posted it to insta with the caption "secret's out I am a model for hot topic!" This has been one of my favorite stores for years now so to be modeling for the company is a dream come true" I turned the comments off and then put my phone back in my pocket and we decided to walk to garage.
End of pov
Clare: what about these? (Picks out a black concert long sleeve crop top and then a white long sleeve with roses on them)
Lexie: cute, tight and shows cleavage but not that much so I'll take it
Clare: I am sorry where's the Lexie that would literally mock the shirts I just picked because it didn't show that much skin?
Lexie: I don't know (shrugs her shoulders and puts the shirts in the cart) ohh I like the red long sleeve with the butterfly on it too (puts that one in as well)
Clare: your avoiding the question
Lexie: no I am not
Clare: yeah you are.. look all I am going to say is don't change your style for Landon alright?
Lexie: it's not about Landon (picks out a long sleeve white off the shoulder crop)
Clare: then what's it about?
Lexie: what I feel safe in... oOh this is perfect for the tour bus (grabs an oversized sweater with a butterfly on it)
Clare: ohh now I see what this is about
Lexie: what are you talking about?
Clare: you think that if you wear more clothes that cover you up guys will stop trying to do shit with you
Lexie: (scoffs) no what makes you think that (grabs a pair of purple ripped jeans and puts them in a cart)
Clare: Lexie
Lexie: what? What? You want me to say your right? Find you are right but it's also the fact that I want to change okay? Me, and yeah maybe it's because I am a little scared, but so what? I am in a relationship now anyway and I don't need other people besides Landon to see it
Clare: okay that part I'll agree with but at the same time lex I just want to know you are doing it for the right reasons and you being scared is not one of them
Lexie: I know it's not but if it keeps other guys away from me then it's enough of a reason for me
Clare: okay
Lexie's pov
After shopping at garage for a little longer and getting two more pairs of jeans we left and started walking to forever 21 since that's more Clare's style. She was trying on a skirt when my phone started ringing so I picked up and saw Landon was calling me.
End of pov
Phone convo
Lexie: hey babe
Landon: hey princess how are you?
Lexie: good and you?
Landon: good I just finished early at the studio because your brother wanted to do a session, what are you up to?
Lexie: I am at the mall with Clare
Landon: oh okay I was hoping i could go over and see you but that's okay
Lexie: how about you come and meet us for lunch?
Clare: oh that's a good idea, I'll ask Ricky to come and we can double date
Lexie: Clare says she'll invite her boyfriend and we can double date do you want to?
Landon: yeah sure which mall are you guys at?
Lexie: Mel rose
Landon: okay I'll text you when I am there
Lexie: okayy see you soon
(Landon blows a kiss into the phone and hangs up)
Clare: what do you think of this? (Turns around wearing a pink tube top with a pink Mini skirt)
Lexie: it's cute but Justin or Nick will never let you out of the house with that
Clare: oh please they don't know half of my going out clothes I just have it hidden
Lexie: fair enough me too
Clare: you should get something
Lexie: nah this store is way to preppy for me
Clare: just try something on you might like it.. look this is totally your style (picks out a black bustier crop top with a pink skirt)
Lexie: the skirts not my style but I like the combo so sure (grabs it)
Lexie's pov
I walked into the dressing room and changed into the outfit Clare handed me and I have to admit with a pair of boots this outfit would actually be cute. Since the skirt is embroidered and flowy it gives off very much cowgirl vibes so i decided to take it. After that Clare picked out some more stuff and we went to Abercrombie and fitch, Aeropostale, hollister and lulu lemon before Ricky showed up. I am not a particular fan of him given the amount of time he's hurt Clare but she makes him happy so I tolerate him. Ten minutes later Landon met up with us in urban outfitters.
End of pov
Landon: (wraps his arms around Lexie's waist and pecks her on the lips) hey princess
Lexie: (runs her hands through Landon's curls) hey handsome, this is Ricky by the way and you already know Clare
Ricky: sup (they do a handshake)
Lexie: hey Ricky how are you?
Ricky: good and you?
Lexie: good
Clare: so where should we eat?
Lexie: I don't know cheesecake?
Landon: I am down
Clare: me too, babe you want cheesecake?
Ricky: yeah sounds good to me
Lexie's pov
We started walking outside of the store and towards cheesecake which was right across the street when fletcher saw us.
End of pov
Fletcher: hey guys how are you?
Group: hey
Clare: we are good how are you?
Fletcher: good good can I ask a couple questions
Lexie: we were actually on our way to go eat but have a nice day
Fletcher: wait just answer are you and Landon officially a couple?
Landon: yeah we have been for almost a month now
Fletcher: aw cute congrats guys
Landon: thanks have a nice day
Fletcher: you too
(They keep walking)
Ricky: I don't know how you guys deal with that honestly
Lexie: you've known Clare for almost three years now i thought you would be used to it by now
Ricky: nope plus to me Clare is just clare not Clare jonas
Lexie: good answer
(They walk into cheesecake and a hostess sits them down and a few minutes the waitress walks over to them)
Waitress: hi my name is Liv and I'll be your waitress can I start you guys off with something to drink?
Lexie: a coke please
Landon: a dr. Pepper please
Ricky: I'll have dr. Pepper too
Clare: and I'll have a sprite
Waitress: okay perfect I'll be right back
(Walks away)
Lexie's pov
After Liv came back with the drinks, Landon and Ricky started talking and getting to know each other more and Clare and I started talking until the waitress came back to take our order.
End of pov
Lexie: do you want to split the fettuccine Alfredo with me?
Landon: yeah that sounds good
Ricky: what do you want babe?
Clare: hm the lasagna but split it with me because it's heavy
Ricky: okay
(They order their food and the waitress walks away and twenty minutes later comes back with the food)
Lexie: would it be really cliche if we did the lady and tramp thing right now?
Landon: yeah but it would be cute (picks up the fork) do you want to?
Lexie: (blushes) sure why not
Clare: aww you guys are cute I'll take a picture for you
Landon: thanks Clare
Lexie's pov
Landon put one end of the noodle in his mouth and I grabbed the other and eventually our lips touched, we smiled and then pulled away and I couldn't help the blush that crept onto my cheeks.
End of pov
Landon: aww your blushing
Lexie: shut up (blushes more)
Landon: it's cute (kisses her cheek)
Lexie: stoppp (blushes even more and looks down)
Landon: (gently grabs her chin so that she looks at him) no (pecks her on the lips)
Lexie's pov
After we pulled away from the kiss, we finished eating and Landon and I split a cookie dough cheesecake while Clare and Ricky split the Oreo one. After dessert the boys wanted to split the check which we thought was really sweet and then after we continued shopping. We also stopped at a store designed specifically for cold weather because in some of our tour stops we are going to be up north which is when it's going to get cold.. not going to lie those are the places I am not looking forward to because I hate the cold.
End of pov
Landon: this is cute (picks out a light pink coat)
Lexie: yeah it's soft on the inside, I just wish they had another color
Landon: you don't have to wear black all the time you know (jokes)
Lexie: I am not saying it has to be black it could be red
Landon: red would look hot on you
Lexie: (lightly hits his shoulder) shut up
Landon: make me
Clare: okayyy did you two forget your in public? Hush
Lexie: don't act like you didn't have a full make out session with Ricky in the middle of a children's park
Clare: shh we don't talk about that
(Ricky starts laughing and wraps his arms around Clare's waist)
Ricky: how could I forget the mom looked like was going to kill us
Landon: so do you want the pink coat or not?
Lexie: yeah I need something to keep me warm
Landon: what about shirts to layer with leggings and sweats?
Lexie: I have that already
Landon: okay
2 hours later
Clare: alright I think we are all tapped out, Lex you ready to go?
Landon: I can drop her off (looks at lexie) if you want me to
Lexie: yeah sure (looks at Clare) your okay with that right?
Clare: yeah of course (looks at Ricky) you want to come back to my house?
Ricky: who are you with this week?
Clare: my dad
Ricky: your dad doesn't like me
Clare: it's game night please come? He'll just have to suck it up
Ricky: okay fine only for you (pecks her lips and looks at Lexie and Landon) later guys, it was nice meeting you Landon
Landon: you too, bye guys
Them: bye
(Clare and Ricky walk away)
Landon: are you done shopping yet?
Lexie: yeah I think I have more the enough
Landon: cool because there's somewhere I want to take you before I drop you off (takes her hand)
Lexie: where are we going?
Landon: it's a surprise
Lexie: can I have a hint?
Landon: nope just come on
Lexie's pov
We left the mall and got in the car and he started driving to wherever he was taking me when my phone started ringing and I saw Jaden was calling me.
End of pov
Phone convo
Lexie: hey bubba
Jaden: hey lex how are you?
Lexie: I am good, how are you?
Jaden: good I just wanted to check in, are you still at the mall?
Lexie: no I am with Landon because he met up with us and now he's taking me somewhere before dropping me off at home
Jaden: oh okay don't get home to late though alright
Lexie: okay, how was the studio?
Jaden: good just worked on everyone's bleeding and I am heading back to the house now, did you eat?
Lexie: yeah Cheesecake Factory
Jaden: okay, I'll see you back at the house have fun... but not to much fun
Lexie: byeee Jaden
End of phone convo
Lexie's pov
Thirty minutes later Landon parked the car and I looked up to see a building that said Griffith park observatory which confused me because I have no idea what we are doing here but I followed Landon out of the car anyway and we started walking into the building as the sun was starting to set and we took an elevator up to the largest floor and when we got out were on the rooftop where there rows of seats and telescopes placed in a large circle. You could also see a beautiful view of LA and the colors of the sunset, I turned to look at Landon and smiled.
End of pov
Landon: so what do you think? (Wraps his arms around her waist)
Lexie: it's beautiful, I can see why you wanted to take me here
Landon: oh that's not the reason we are here, I mean the view is part of it but no tonight we are going to watch shooting stars through the telescope
Lexie: wow who would have thought you could be romantic (jokes)
Landon: shut up, you turn me soft
Lexie: well I love that I have that effect on you (kisses his cheek)
Landon: (blushes) stop
Lexie: ooo look who's blushing now?
Landon: (mumbles) shut up before I give you something to blush even more about
Lexie: oh really what do you have in mind
Landon: this (wraps his arms around Lexie's waist and pulls her on his lap so she's sitting down)
Lexie's pov
Landon leaned in and pressed his lips up against mine and started kissing me and I obviously kissed him back at first it was just an innocent kiss but then he gently squeezed my waist causing me to gasp which allowed his tongue to slip inside and we started fighting for dominance. My hands wrapped around his neck and my fingers found a way to play with his hair and I gently tugged, he let out a moan so I tugged a little harder. Eventually we both needed to breathe so we pulled away but he started kissing my jawline down to my neck and started sucking, I leaned my head back to allow him more access and bit my lip to stop the moan that was coming out once he found my sweet spot.
End of pov
Lexie: l l Landon
Landon: hmm (sucks on the skin)
Lexie: your going to leave a hickey and I don't have anything to cover it with
Landon: (pulls away) shit sorry
Lexie: it's okay... let's just make sure we do it in a more private space
Landon: good idea
Lexie's pov
A few more minutes we just laid in each other's arms until the sky turned completely dark and the moon was out and the stars were starting to come out as well. We walked over to the telephone and looked through it and a little while later a shooting star was flying through the sky and I had never seen anything like that it was so pretty. I moved away so Landon could take a turn and a few minutes later another shooting star went by, we stayed there for an hour just watching shooting stars until we decided to call it a night. We left the observatory and started driving home but not before stopping at McDonald's for dinner and a few minutes later we were pulling into the driveway of the sway house.
End of pov
Lexie: thanks for the surprise I loved it (smiles)
Landon: I am glad you liked it, and I am glad that we got to go on our third date
Lexie: me too, what are you doing tomorrow, my song comes out so we we are probably going to do dinner or something but maybe we can hang out before
Landon: your song comes out tomorrow!! Why didn't you tell me?
Lexie: I must have forgotten it's not that big of a deal...
Landon: what are you talking about this is your first song!! I am so proud of you baby (pecks her lips) we are definitely going to celebrate okay? I'll text you tomorrow
Lexie: (smiles) okay okay sounds good, goodnight (gets out of the car)
Landon: night babe
(Lexie walks up to the front door and Landon waits till she gets inside before driving off)
Lexie: I am home!!!
Noah: how did your date go?
Lexie: amazing we went to the observatory and saw shooting stars
Noah: aww how romantic, I need to to step up my game with Dixie (jokes)
Lexie: haha good luck topping that
Blake: I am glad you had fun lex
Lexie: me too, where are the others?
Noah: Jaden and griffin are in an intense game of ping pong, kio's streaming, Ant's with Avani, and Q is at the studio
Lexie: okay i am going to see j and griff then (starts walking to the game room)
Griffin: and that's game
Jaden: no way I want a re match
Griffin: dude you took an L accept it
Jaden: (glares) play one more game with me
Griffin: nah I am going to go see Kio
Jaden: chicken!
Griffin: says the one who just took the L, hey lex (hugs her)
Jaden: hey baby how was your day with Clare and Landon
Lexie: it was good (hugs him) How was your day at the studio?
Jaden: it was good, just worked up on what the hell, do you want to hear the verse?
Lexie: yeah sure
(Jaden and Lexie walk into the studio room and Lexie sits down while Jaden goes into the booth)
Jaden: your always running when you feel like I am going to fight, I want to talk but I don't want to hear you cry, no I don't, no I don't, you let me fail because you thought that you could trust me, I never cared because I felt like it was nothing, you know I thought that I failed you and I keep asking myself this what did I do to make you mad, baby what did I do it's not like that, I am only being myself and it's just letting you down, what the hell did I do now? (Stops singing) what did you think?
Lexie: I like it, what's it about?
Jaden: just past mistakes that I made and learning to accept it and kind of just saying what the hell
Lexie: smart concept I like it
Jaden: yeah what about you? Do you have anything new?
Lexie: not yet but I am sure I'll think of something, anyways I am going to go take a shower
Jaden: okay I am going to keep working and meet you upstairs in a bit
Lexie: okay
Lexie's pov
I walked back upstairs to my room, walked into my closet and pulled out a pair of pajamas and walked into the bathroom. I turned the temperature to hot and got in and allowed myself to soak in the water for a little bit before washing myself and my hair and getting out. I decided to let my hair air dry because I wasn't in the mood to blow dry it and once I was dressed I walked back to josh and Jaden's room and got on the bed. I turned on the tv and started watching the first episode of pretty little liars original sin and an hour later Jaden came into the room and we put on the office until my eyes felt drowsy and I closed them.
