Chapter 6

~~~ It's ALL about the money ~~~

   I tried to ignore Oli. He looked right at me. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Oli closed his eyes tight and I could tell he was trying not to cry. I just...I liked him. But I was with Joel and I was happy. But Oli...

   "Never have I ever felt guilty." Maddie said. I raised my hand. So did Joel and Oli. Maddie didn't. I knew she was lying. She even told me that night that she felt so guilty for not saving that boy who killed himself.

   "Never have I ever...went to Disney!" I questioned. All 4 of us raised or hands.

   "Never have I ever... Sang in front of a crowd." Oli asked. I started to think, but I didn't remember singing ever. I kept my hand down.

Click. Click. Click click click click!

"Ughhhhh." I moaned as I was in the middle of playing Minecraft.

This stupid Apple cow wouldn't die! I needed apples! I wanted to make apple pie for a gift for SeaPeeKay. I heard his house had blown up.

"AHHHH!" I heard a rage scream come from the hallway, following with a slam of a door. Only one person made that noise. Maddie. I took my headphones off and got up to go see what was going on.

"Maddie?" I said, heading into the kitchen.

"What?!" She asked angrily, getting out her ice cream bar she saved. She viciously took a big bite out of it, and started to cry.

"Are you...okay?" I

"Johnny asked me to be his girlfriend!" She screamed angrily.

   "And that's a bad thing?" I asked.

    "Well no! I'm just mad because...because... Because I am mad now stop asking me so many questions and leave me alone!" She yelled and walked into the family room.

   I blinked quickly. There was no way that she was mad about someone asking her to be his girlfriend. I sighed and walked back into my gaming room.

   That night, I decided to go the mall. Maddie's birthday was coming up, and I hadn't got her anything yet. She wanted a designer purse, coach sunglasses, these designer pair of heels, and a whole lot more. I made a group chat with her closest friends, me, Joel, Oli, London, Johnny, and Allison, and we discussed what we were getting her so we didn't get her the same stuff.

   Joel was getting her the sunglasses she wanted, and Oli was getting her an expensive makeup kit. I was getting her the purse if I had enough for it, Johnny was getting her an iPad mini, and Allison was getting her the heels. Now, me and London are both giving Maddie her big gift. We're getting her a dog! Maddie's wanted a dog ever since she was little. My mom never cared, but my dad said never. I guess never ends once you leave.

   Bing!

   It was Joel. He texted me, "check Oli's channel." I started to get worried. Joel didn't usually send me texts like that. Usually he would send me an emoji before hand. This must be serious.

   I texted back, "can't. At the mall getting purse for Maddie"

   "The second you get home, check it. Don't worry, he's fine. well, sort of fine. Not in the like, hospital way. Just check it when you can" he replied.

   I started to panic, so i ran to macy's. I tried to pick out the perfect purse. I wanted to go with a tan color. I knew Maddie liked cross body's, but the one she wanted was a clutch. I finally found it in the back and checked the price tag.

   $340.00

   I almost threw the purse. I was expecting maybe $200 at the most. There was no way I could buy that. I put it back and sighed. I felt bad. Maddie really wanted the purse. I decided to use my debit card. I'm sure I could find a way to get the money back.

   It was almost midnight when I got home. I had pit-stopped at the supermarket and got some food for the rest of the week. Even though Maddie's birthday was in 10 days, I was glad I shopped ahead.

   I remembered Joel had told me to go on Oli's channel. I quickly went up to my room, changed into my p.j's, and went into my gaming room. I typed in, " T h e  o r i o n  s o u n d" in the Google search bar. His channel came up and I clicked the link.

   There was nothing crazy going on. His channel wasn't hacked, he wasn't quitting, I didn't see a problem. I started to scroll down.

   That's when I saw it.

   Somebody Else | TheOrionSound Cover ( the 1975 )

   I knew all the lyrics in that song.

   And they fit almost too perfectly in me and Oli's relationship.

   Oli had made this video directed towards me.
