Armani Barrientos:

I was currently outside the Beta house sitting in the car as the guilt washed over me. Did I really just shoot that kid? That could've been my little brother.

the thoughts were making me crazy until I heard a knock on my window pulling her out of her thoughts. I rolled down my window

"Hey you alright?" It was Niko. I smiled softly as I looked up at him.

"Uh Yeahh? was just thinking about something." I said while getting out of the car and locking it.

"Could tell but you got a really nice smile you know. You should smile more often" Armani was completely shocked by wat he said as she didn't expect him to compliment her.

"I-uh Thank you" Armani said blushing. Nico was about to say something when he got cut off by Filly. "CUZZOOOOOO". Armani looked at her overly excited cousin and gave him a simple wave. as filly approached them he noticed the slight blush on Armani's face, and smirked.

"Who got you blushing like that" Filly said teasingly. Armani looked embarrassed and rolled her eyes. "im not blushing?". Nico chuckled and shook his head at the two.

"Let's get inside the others are waiting". Nico said as he lead the way. "You two coming or what?" Filly shook his head. "Nah I need to go pick something up real quick, but imma be back tho". Nico and Armani nodded and walked inside as their arms slightly brushed against each others.

"Nico?" Nico looked down at her and raised a brow. "Yes?". Armani looked a bit nervous as she spoke up. "I-I wanted to thank you" She said quietly. "For what?". he asked now confused. "For taking care of my siblings. I heard what you've done for them and it means a lot to me so thank you".

Nico looked a little surprised but gave her an assuring smile. "You don't have to thank me it was nothing" he said assuring her. Armani gave him a genuine smile. "And im sorry for being so mean in the beginning. I guess I just needed to get used to every single one of you"

Nico laughed again. "its fine honestly Filly told us that u were a quiet person anyway". Mani looked yet again a bit embarrassed. "But if you're so quiet I wonder how your siblings are nothing like you. I mean yeah they are stubborn sometimes but besides that I don't see any similarities"

Armani looked fake hurt. "Hey! im not stubborn" " Yes you are" "No im not". The two kept fake arguing as they walked into the living room where everyone was. but the duo didn't seem to notice. "Yes you are! see you're so stubborn that u can't commit that you're stubborn". "I don't got anything to commit because im not stubborn"

The others laughed at the two as Aj spoke up. "You really are tho" He said shrugging. "See even Aj thinks so" Nico said as he dabbed Aj up.

"Yeah yeah whatever. Anyway how you guys doing?" Armani asked catching the others by surprise since when was she starting conversations?

Sharky chuckled and spoke up. "Looks like the one and only Armani Barrientos finally starts to rate us" Chunks then spoke up. "I knew she would get a soft spot for us eventually". Armani playfully mugged them and rolled her eyes. "Uhm excuse me? Soft spot? Me? Never". She said as she sat down next to Jada, who scooted away a little. Armani noticed it and gave her a little weird look but then ignored her.

Nico glanced at Jada and then back at Armani sensing some tension but decided to ignore It for now. Kenny saw Jada leaning her head on chunkz and chuckled. "Looks like we got four love birds now"

Everyone looked a bit confused before he spoke up again. "first Jada and Chunkz and now-" Kenny got cut off by Filly. "So looks like the love birds finally got along? first we caught them cuddling in their sleep. now they flirting what's next?"

Both Nico en Armani's eyes widened and looked away. "Damn Nico really stealing my girl like that" Sharky spoke up fake hurt. Armani quickly mugged sharky. "Your girl is crazy. You call urself Sharky. What you expect me to be ur lava girl?" she joked. The others chuckled while Sharky continued acting hurt. "I thought we were locked in forreal" Armani shrugged. "Womp womp"

"Anyway, Filly told me you lot wanted ask me something?" Chunkz nodded and spoke up. "Yeah so you know how you did that one video with us?" Armani nodded signing for him to continue. "So we was thinking if you would like to join us more often? And you will get ur cut for it"

Armani was caught off guard with that question not expecting them to ask her such a thing. Armani could see Jada rolling her eyes at the suggestion clearly not happy about it. Nico spoke up. "You don't have to answer now but-" Armani cut him off. "Sure" Filly was surprised by his cousins answer. "What? My own cousin? Armani Barrientos wants to make more YouTube videos? I thought u hated the last one?"

"I guess it wasn't that bad" She said shrugging. "Or she just wants to be around Nico more often" Aj said. Armani picked up a cushion and threw it towards Aj. "Oww" "shut your smelly mouth mate" Nico said chuckling.

Jada decided to test the waters with Armani and spoke up. "Armani, shouldn't you be taking car of your siblings" Armani raised a brow at her question. "What has that got to do with you?" Jada smirked at her defence. "I'm just saying" she shrugged "Its not save for kids to stay home alone. especially at such a young age. What if something happens? What if they try to cut a apple with a knife but cut their selves? or start playing with the knife? What if they find a gun perhaps?"

Everyone looked at Jada confused. While Armani's eyes widened at the last part. She knew something was up and this only confirmed her suspicions. "What you mean a gun?" Chunkz asked. Jada's smirk was still there as she spoke up again. "Oh you know them BB guns? those are dangerous you know. my nephew got shot in his eye and almost got blind by the 'bullets'" Jada said trying to be as innocent as possible.

While Armani could feel her blood starting to boil. "Well first of all my siblings are in great hands, and if anything they don't got acces to their BB guns when im not around. so nothing to worry about. As for the knives. they're smart enough to not make such a stupid moves". Armani gave her a sarcastic smile as she pulled out her phone to see a notification from Sharita. It was a picture of the kids watching a movie with David.

The others looked at each other confused at the random mentioning of the kids but shrugged it off as all of them decided to watch a movie together.

The night ended with everyone falling a sleep on the couch.
