Josh POV:

All I could hear was the ringing in my ears, waking up from a sleep that was at least two hours. I sighed, damnit Reekid is loud... Why the fuck do I even record with him? Oh yeah. Views.

I sighed, walking down the white stairs provided in my house. Thinking only of what to do for the rest of the day.
I thought of maybe thinking up an idea for a new video. Maybe I should do one with Reekid again? No. He's too loud. Maybe with The Boys? No. They're all too busy for at least the next two weeks... What the fuck will I do? There's literally nothing to do in this fucking house. Except, well myself...

Suddenly I was shocked out of my thoughts when I heard loud banging at my front door. I sighed harder. Who the fuck is knocking on my door at seven in the morning?
I slowly walked through my house, passing all the white walls, and plants that weren't even real. Why were they even there? Oh yeah. My ex...

Finally getting to my door, I opened it. Only to be met with a cop. he looked at me. Then sighed, "Are you Joshua Wanders?" He asked. I only nodded. This felt weird. I hadn't done anything wrong had I? Sure I went to a few parties over the past few months. But that's only because Mully invited me to all of them. I never even enjoyed them... And I don't think I did any kind of substance at them. Well at least I don't remember if I did.

"So uh, I have some news for you Mr Wanders..." The cop let out slowly, staring down at a clipboard in his hands. I began to feel more nervous. I wasn't getting arrested... Fuck, I hope not.

I stared at him. Waiting for him to continue, but seeing he looked a bit awkward, I had to ask, "Well, what is it? The news?" Those words came out rough. More mean then I had intended, but at least he looked more in the moment, and was going to tell me.

"Look, It's a long story... Do you know Antornth? You may know him as Reekid?" He asked unsure. I looked at him. Why was he talking to me about Reekid? I nodded, and he continued.

"Well, his parents died in a car crash last night. And I know this may seem like something I shouldn't be bothering you about, but you have to hear me out, Okay? This may be a lot to take in..." I looked at him, wonder and worry washing over me. What was going on. I guess I had to hear him out, "Go on."
He looked at me, taking in a deep breath, then continued.

"So his parents... They didn't have any relatives. No sisters, brothers... They didn't assign any kind of legal guardian to Antornth, or godfather or godmother. So... In their will... If they were to die... They had to leave in a trusted adult... And since they didn't really know many... They- uh. They put your name as the trusted adult. They knew you made videos with Antornth, and knew you would probably take good care of him, if he wasn't yet an adult. I- um know you weren't really ever expecting this... But you are now required by law, to care of Antornth. And by that, you need to provide him with a place to stay, for him to sleep, and food. You're basically becoming his legal guardian... Until he is eighteen at least, you have to look after him. But he will be eighteen in only six months, so after then, you are allowed to make him leave."

My eyes were wide. I felt like I was taking in those words ten years after they were said. It took me so long to even form a word. I almost lost my breath by just saying or well, screaming one word, straight in his face. "WHAT?!?"

He looked at me, eyes a bit shocked, but they soon lowered down to his clipboard. "I'm sorry Mr Wanders... But you don't have a choice in this. Now, can you sign this."
he handed me the clipboard, I was still in shock, yet I was able to skim through the whole contract until it was just left with me to sign. I looked at him. He paused, then pulled out a pen from his front pocket. I gave him a small 'thanks' when he passed it to me.

I handed the clipboard back, with my signature. "So uh... when will he get here?" I asked, looking down at my shoes. He looked down at the clipboard before looking back up to me. "He'll probably be here tomorrow around midday, with all of his stuff." I nodded. Then just said my goodbyes to the cop, who had just dropped the hugest life bomb on me, and it would be lasting for six months?! jesus. I am not prepared...

I shut the door, walking back through my house, and soon I found myself back in my bed. I sighed. This can't be happening... What the actual fuck. I guess I should probably be making up his room or something? Whatever... I'm way too fucking tired... I'll do it in the morning... Right now all I want to do is sleep. And hope all of this was really just a dream.
Though I knew it wasn't. I just hoped...



(Btw in a few months I will be editing this story and rewriting a few chapters.)
