Forever And A Half

Week 3:

"You go first," I said. Everyone looked to Joey,

"Um, my biggest secret that I've held from you guys is that...I-I can't keep a girlfriend," Joey blushed, Tyler burst out laughing,

"Tell me something I don't know, boo," Tyler called, "I have never dated anybody! That's me over. Ryan, your turn," Ryan was sitting more to the back of the group,

"My biggest secret is that I haven't ever sworn," he whispered.

"Oh come on Ryan, just say '****'" Tyler urged him. Ryan shook his head,

"No thanks," he answered politely, "Adalyn?" he tried to get the attention off himself,

"Well," I thought for a moment, "My biggest secret is..." I paused again; I didn't really have any secrets. I was horrible at keeping my secrets, "Uh,"

"It's not that hard, just say something you've never told anyone," Joey said,

"I'm a literal open book so it's a bit hard to think of something I've never shared," I paused again, "I've never kissed anyone," I finally said,

"It'll do. Last question, @Maricorn998 asks 'what do you do for fun?'" Tyler looked around, "I go to TimeZone,"

"I go to the beach," Joey spoke up,

"I write scripts," Ryan said,

"I eat," I laughed.

"Okay guys, like, comment and subscribe for more Oakley," he kissed the camera and turned it off. We then went to the lounge room to shoot Joey's video,

"Welcome back guys! Today we'll be singing with helium!" he shouted. He pulled out a bunch of balloons and handed us each a few. I cut a small slit in one and breathed in the air before clamping it shut.

'Nice to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things, Magic, madness, heaven, sin,' I tried singing and my voice came out quite high pitched. We all started laughing and Ryan commented,

"She sounds like a chipmunk," he laughed.

'Christmas, Christmas time is near, Time for toys and time for cheer' I said with my voice still infected by the helium, Tyler breathed in some air,

"Okay, try your lowest sound," he said in a high pitched voice. We all tried going as low as possible but it was still very high. We all sung different songs and then Joey breathed in some air and his balloon popped.

"Ah!" he screamed and it was very high, "I'm going to blame the girly scream on the helium. Normally my scream is manly," he was embarrassed. Tyler laughed,

"Sure, Goldy Locks," he said, mocking Joey's blond hair. Joey did his outro and we moved outside for Ryan's video. He gave us each a script,

"What's it about?" I asked, flicking through the pages,

"It's a song but I needed a girl for it," he read through his lines. We started running about the street miming words. I had to jump over a few things and it took a few tries. Joey and I slid down the twin slides in the park. Once Ryan had gotten all the footage he needed we went back inside to the spare room.

'He stands across from me, I used to call him baby, but it was all a lie. He's a cheater, a stress eater and he makes me cry,' I sang. Ryan joined in,

'She's wearing my favourite shirt, it hides her mini skirt, but it's just a lie. She don't want to live, I was secretive, I made her cry,' he sang. He was actually good.

'You shouldn't cheat, you deadbeat, our love hasn't grown, I should have known,' I continued.

'She should have known, we grew further apart, I truly broke her heart,' he sang the melody,

'He truly broke my heart,' we both sang together. We continued singing as the boys watched a movie in the other room. After we finished I asked,

"Who was that about?" he looked over at me sadly,

"My ex-girlfriend," he said quietly,

"Did you cheat on her?" I was really curious,

"No, she cheated on me but it was easier to write as though the guy had cheated," he scratched his arm awkwardly,

"Do the others know?" he shook his head,

"They thought we broke up mutually," he shrugged.

"Well, if you need a shoulder to cry on I've got two and so do the others," I smiled. He hugged me tightly before we went to meet the guys in the lounge room.
