"...what's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay. So long and goodnight, so long and goodnight... "
HAIDENS POV
It's Monday. They're announcing the end of the channel today. The realization hits me but I'm not gonna let myself cry. And I have to control myself today. For Kian, for Ricky, for Trevor, for Sam, and for Jc. Even Connor.
I roll over and dig my phone from out under the pillow. I check the time. 6:45am. What the fuck Haiden?
I get up and throw on a sweatshirt before making my way downstairs. I start to make coffee, then I realize we're out so I silently go back to my room.
I walk over to my closet to pick out my outfit for the day. With tears in my eyes, I pull out my O2L T-shirt. I haven't worn it since Caylen and I go together.
I slip that on as well as a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of worn out converse.
I quickly do my hair and decide to wait till the other guys get up, not bothering with the makeup.
It's now 7:25 so I text Brendon and see if they're up yet. I get a reply instantly so I tell him and the guys to come over and that we can hang on the roof for a bit.
Soon, the band makes it way over and we are practicing on the roof.
"Wait. Stop. What are we going to do? They're ending today. What are we going to do about the practices or just meeting up in general? I want to keep this alive." I say, handing Ryan a new guitar pick.
"I never thought about that. And I don't know what's gonna happen with me and Trevor. But yeah, I want the band to stay alive." Ryan replies.
"I don't know. I'll talk it out with Caylen and see what we can do. I can ask if y'all can move in with us. That'd be great. And Jc likes you guys. He really does." I tel them. Brendon and Ryan nod and spencers doing whatever spencers doing.
We go back in to find that Kian and Ricky are up.
KIANS POV
This is it. We are ending today. It finally hit me and now I'm kinda freaking out. I don't know what I'm going to do. Jc did mention something about making a channel together, though. That'd be pretty cool.
I roll out of bed and get dressed and look at all the boxes around me. No, you're not gonna cry.
I sigh and walk downstairs to get an Arizona when I find Haiden and her friends. I silently walk over and hug her. She hugs back, thankfully.
"It's going to be ok. You're going to be ok." She tells me, running circles on my back.
I nod and she lets go, so I do the same.
TREVORS POV
Oh dear lord no. I can't do this. Nope. What if he wants to break up? Then what? I don't know how we are going to work out. We will figure something out. I quickly put some real clothes on and walk downstairs. Kians on the couch, so I take a seat by him.
We sit there for about five minutes and just exchange silent glances.
RICKYS POV
This is it. We're done. Nope. O2L will still live, it just won't be a channel anymore. Throwing on a shirt, I walk downstairs and join Trevy and Kian on the couch. No words are said. The looks say it all.
SAMS POV
I can't do this. Yes you can, Sam. No. I reluctantly get dressed and join the rest of them on the couch.
Jc comes down within five minutes of me being down here.
JCS POV
Nope. I can't. Yes. No. I don't know. Stay strong for Haiden. I join the boys on the couch and watch as Ricky sets up the camera.
I've been up for ten minutes. This is too early, but whatever. I threw on random clothes, but it works.
HAIDENS POV
The band and I stand behind the camera after Ricky gets it set up. They all look truly sad. Sam, mostly. I hope he ends up okay. Then there's Kian. I'm pretty sure he and Jc are going to do a channel together. Ricky, he's taken up in the music industry and Trevor is too, but I think Trevor will stick around Ryan for a while. And we have the band. I'm sure we are staying together. I hope.
I text Jc about the guys moving in and he looks up, smiles, and nods.
"Pack your bags, you're moving in with us." I say. The guys light up and start to leave.
"Not yet. Y'all are staying till theyre done. I don't wanna be alone." Brendon nods and they walk back over to me and Bren throws his arms around my shoulders.
"Hang in there. You'll be ok." He tells me. I nod and we go quiet.
I turn away from them and cry into Brendon's shoulder as I listen to my favorite collab channel post their last group video, soon to be titled, This Is Not Goodbye.
