Chloe's pov:

Recap:

"Y-your my legal guardian?" I asked with a hopeful smile.

"Yeah, I am" he told me smiling. I couldn't take it anymore I crashed into him with a hug. "Thank you" I whispered into his ear.

"Anything for you"

-------

I pulled away from him and smiled at him. "Thanks for everything"

He just smiled back at me. A real genuine smile. We turned back to the computer and finished setting up my Skype account.

"And..... Here ya go! Your very own Skype!!!" Connor announced with a huge smile on his face.

"YAY! Thanks" I told him with a smile. I immediately clicked on the search icon and looked for mine and Lauren's Skype account. I finally found it and pressed send friend request. I waited a few minutes while sending her a telepathic message to check Skype (Jk I'm not telepathic) I finally got a response back from her. I quickly pressed the video call button and waited for her to pick up. She did after the first ring.

"CHLO-CHLO!!" She practically yelled through the screen.

"LAU-LAU!!!" I yelled back at her earning a joking shut up from Kian across the house. I yelled one back to him and realized Connor had left. Weird... When did that happen?

"How have things been?" She asked me with a huge smile.

"It's pretty awesome I-"

"LAUREN!!!!!!!" I heard a voice yell I quickly turned my head around to see Jc and Kian running in here standing right behind me.

"Oh yeah Lauren you remember Jc and Kian right?" I asked her with a laugh.

"Oh yeah" she mumbled making me laugh.

"How are you doing?" I asked her ignoring the 2 boys behind me making faces.

"It's been ok..." She said with a sad smile.

"What do you mean?!"

"It's just pretty lonely here" she told me. I could see right though it. After living 4 years of your life with someone, you really know everything about them.

"Um could you guys give me just a minute with Lauren?" I asked the 2 boys behind me with a sweet smile.

"FINEEEEEEE" they said together in a grumpy voice before heading into the living room.

"Now tell me, what's going on?"

"It's just.... You remember Josh right?" She asked me in a sad voice.

"Yeahhhh" I answered her. How could I forgot Josh? Lauren and him dated for about a year. He broke up with her just a month ago. After he broke up with her she was devastated. And lately he's been super nice to her.

"Well, he asked me out...again"

"WHAT?!? WHEN?!?" I yelled getting overly excited.

"SHUT UP!" I heard Kian yell again. I just ignored him and turned back to Lauren.

"It was today. When I got back to our room after saying bye to you, there was a note on my bed, from him. It basically said he never wanted to break up with me it was a dare from stupid Alicia. He said it was the worst mistake of his life and he wants to be my boyfriend again and I just... UGH! I don't know what to do! He said to take all the time I need but I just don't know what to do!! Help me!" I could see the look of frustration on her face so I racked my brain on what to do.

"Ok well do you still like him?"

"More than ever. I just don't know if I can trust him again."

"I say give him another chance. But take it slow. Don't rush into things"

"Yeah.. That sounds good thank you so much! I don't know what'd I do without you!"

We soon started drifting off onto another topic and I told her about O2L and all that jazz. She promised me she would search them up later.

"CHLOE!!! Can we talk to you?" Ricky yelled.

"Ok well I gotta go. Bye Lauren! I love you so much!!"

"Love you too!!"

I ended the call and walked into the living room and saw all eyes on me. I sat down in my spot from before and looked at Ricky.

"What did you want to tell me?" I asked suddenly getting worried.

"Well you see the thing is, that we-" he got cut of by Sam cracking up which of course caused everyone else to start laughing.

"W-what's so funny?" I asked Sam.

"We" laugh "we're trying" laugh "to" laugh "be" laugh "serious" extreme laugh "it didn't" laugh "work" laugh.

"Um...ok...?" I answered him slightly laughing. After they all sobered up, Ricky finally looked at me.

"Ok the real thing, since we do have YouTube, do you want to be in some of our videos? Or do you want to stay away from the camera" Ricky asked me still slightly laughing.

"I'D LOVE TO BE IN YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!! That would be like, the COOLEST thing in the WHOLE world!!!!!!" I yelled getting excited. They laughed at my excitement before Connor took out a small camera. I gave him a weird look before he faced it at himself.

"Hey guys, it's Connor. And I'm here with 6 people. Now one of these people you have never seen before. Lets see who it is! We got Mr. Trevor, Keen-da-been, Little Sammers, Ricky, Jc, and Chloe and Me! Wait wait wait... Chloe? That's right all you people's CHLOE!!!" He yelled sitting himself next to me and pointing it at me. I gave it a wave still confused on what was going on. He turned the camera so it was facing both of us. "And guess what... Today, I adopted her! So me and the rest of O2L are going to take care of her now! So get used to her being in videos from now on! And just warning you, if you give her hate, then.... I don't know what I would do but you would feel the wrath of the whole O2L fandom... Yeah I think that's pretty harsh... So yeah! Welcome her in and be nice to Chloe!!" He said shutting off the camera.

"What was that for?" I asked still confused.

"My vlog!" He said still smiling.

"Vlog? What's a vlog?" I asked him still confused.

"It's a video blog" he told me

"Oh ok gotcha." I answered him.

"So anything else?" I asked them.

"Um yeah... Just a couple." Jc said looking away. I looked at the rest of the boys. They wouldn't make eye contact with me.

"What...?" I asked

"Well, you need to go shopping..." Kian told me.

"Yeah..." I answered him. What's so embarrassing about going shopping.

"Well you're a girl" Ricky told me.

"No shit Sherlock and you're a boy" I answered him.

"Well... What kind of clothes and such do girls need that boys don't need?" Ricky said looking at the floor.

"Oh.... I see...." I said suddenly understanding why it was so awkward.

"So... Yeah... We need to go shopping tomorrow" Ricky said trailing off. I stayed silent along with everybody else before a genius idea popped into my head.

"HEY! Don't y'all's have girlfriends that could take me instead?! I mean no offense but you get what I'm saying here" I told them amazed that my brain came up with something like that.

"YEAH! I can text Andrea!" Kian said whipping out his phone.

"Yeah!" Sam said. "And she can bring Je--"

"Just another friend of hers" Jc said quickly interrupting Sam. They gave each other some type of odd looks and nodded like they understood. I will never understand the guy code.

I sat there confused still wondering why Jc interrupted Sam when Kians phone buzzed. He quickly picked it up and unlocked it.

"Ok Andrea said she can't tomorrow she's busy but Alexa can come" Kian told us all.

"Ask if her other friend can come, the blonde one" Jc said sounding like he was trying to get something across by saying that. Does he like this blonde girl or something? He seems to be very interested in her.

"Oh yeah!" Kian said sounding like he somehow understood what Jc was saying. Just as he set his down Trevor's phone rang.

"Everybody shut up, it's my mom" he said before answering it.

"Hey mom" it was as if there was a bomb in the room and that was the key word. Right when he said it, the boys started grunting and making all that kind of noises. I found it hilarious actually. I was trying so hard not to laugh.

"Trevor, pass the beer over here" Jc slurred sounding drunk. That set it off. I bursted out laughing which caused looks from the boys before they joined in with me. I finally stopped when I heard Trevor sounding annoyed at his mom.

"Yes mom it was a girls laugh. No- na- mom! It was Chloe. No! Oh my gosh no!!! Na- no- stop! Oh my gosh... Ok" he said very annoyed. I looked at him strangely while all the boys were still cracking up.

"Hey Trevor, can I sleepover tonight?" Sam asked once he finally stopped laughing.

"Uh, mom can Sam come over? Ok" he gave Sam a nod and Sam gave one back before taking out his phone.

"Ok bye" Trevor hung up and slid the phone into his pocket. "Be ready in 5 minutes" he said to Sam.

"Gotcha, what was all that about Chloe?" Sam asked him.

"Oh my gosh... She heard Chloe laugh and started freaking out and asking all these question it was just.. yeah I'm gonna go get my stuff" he said standing up and walking upstairs followed by Sam.

As for the rest of us. We just all awkwardly sat there twiddling are thumbs.

Jk who even says twiddling anymore? But anyways Kian was still on his phone, Jc and Ricky were having a thumb war while Connor was poking my cheek. Like seriously... What?

After about 5 minutes we heard a horn honk.

"TREVOR!" Kian yelled "YOUR MOMMYS HERE!!!"

Trevor ran downstairs and slipped on his shoes followed by Sam.

"Bye guys see ya in like 2 days" Trevor said walking out the door.

"Bye!" Sam said shutting the door.

Then there were 5... And It was pretty quiet.

"YES!!!! I AM THE CHAMPION!!!" Ricky yelled getting up on the table and starting to twerk. He finally got down and looked at us. "I'm hungry, lets get some food. What should we have?" He asked looking around.

"PIZZA!!" Connor yelled right in my ear. I laughed it off and shrugged my shoulders.

"Okie dokie" Ricky said walking off into the kitchen.

"You laugh really easily" Connor told me out of nowhere.

"No I don't!" I defended myself.

"Yeah you actually do" Kian said agreeing with Connor.

"I do not!" I said again crossing my arms.

"Ok then prove it, for the next 2 minutes you can't laugh at all" Jc challenged me. Kian pulled out his phone again clicked a few buttons and showed me a stopwatch.

"Ok we will see how long you can last! If you last more than 2 minutes, you can spray shaving cream, whip cream and silly string all over our faces! But if you don't last 2 minutes, then we get to spray shaving cream, whip cream and silly string all over you! And we get to do something else but that is a surprise until then" Kian said putting his phone on the table.

"Challenge accepted" I said thrusting our my hand for Kian to shake. He gave it a firm shake before we both let go. I sat back in my seat, crossed my arms and waited.

"Ok we begin in 3, 2, 1!!!" Kian yelled pressing start. They immediately started yelling gibberish out and making silly faces. I didn't fall for it. You see, the goal in these types of games is to think of something sad. So I thought of Lauren. And all that didn't affect me.

"Of course, now that she's trying not to laugh, she doesn't!" Jc yelled. "We're already at 45 seconds!"

"What'chu guys doing?" Ricky came in from the kitchen and asked.

"We're trying to get Chloe to laugh we made a bet and we need to get her to laugh within 2 minutes!" Kian said while Connor started poking my cheek trying to get me to smile.

"Ok well what time are you at?" Ricky asked.

"Umm... 52 seconds" Jc said looking down at the phone.

"Ok... Well what made her laugh before?" He asked coming over by us.

"It was all in the moment stuff! It won't work!"

They kept on trying to get me to laugh before Connor finally came up with a good idea.

"TICKLING!!" He yelled. My eyes immediately got huge and I started shaking my head.

"Oh... I think she doesn't want us to tickle her... I think she's... TICKLISH!!!" Kian yelled before thy all started attacking my sides. They thought it would get me to laugh but nope... The were wrong... Haha... jokes on them! I only have one ticklish spot it's my knee pit. You know, the spot on the back of your leg right behind you knee and when you bend your knee it gets scrunched up. Yup... That's the only place I'm ticklish. They will never find it.

"How is she not ticklish?!" Jc yelled "we only have 20 seconds left!" They tried everything they could before Kian looked like a lightbulb went off in his head, he grabbed his hand and threw it in my knee pit and started tickling me.

And of course I think we all know what happened then... I bursted out laughing. I started kicking and squirming until he finally backed away since he was laughing so hard.

"H-how'd you know I was ticklish there?" I asked still laughing.

"That's the only place one of my friends is ticklish in and I thought it was worth a shot!" He answered still slightly laughing.

"Well you know what's next right?" Jc asked. "Your punishment" he said smirking.

Oh boy...
