Who you are inside~An Anthony Trujillo Fanfiction~

Coffee

Anthony POV
I woke up to a loud bang on the wall. I sighed when I realized Jake was waking us up with the merch gun he had just gotten. I shoved my face into the pillow and tried to block out the sound. "COME ON GET UP FOR THE JAKE PAULERS!" Jake screamed at us. I heard Chance groan on the bunk below me. "Oh come onnnnnn! We are having an OHIO boy day!" He emphasized the "Ohio" in the sentence. "Get up or else we aren't going anywhere." He said then looked at his vlog camera. "God damnit." I muttered under my breath. "You taking a shower?" I asked Chance. "Nah I took one last night." I nodded then proceeded to walk to the bathroom to take a shower. I started the water and did everything I needed to do. I got out and put my towel around my waist  and walked into my bedroom to get dressed. I picked up a pink "it's everyday bro" hoodie and black "jake Paul" joggers. I put on my yeezys and head out the door. "Bro!" I heard jake yell from downstairs. I walked downstairs and he was talking to Erika, probably waiting for me since chance was already down stairs. "You ready for an OHIO day?" Jake said holding up his vlog camera. "AH LETS DO THIS THANGGGG!" He breathed onto the camera making it foggy then turned it off and laughed. "Damn I love vlogging. First we are going to get coffee because we don't want to get tired during the kind of day I've got planned." He smiled mischievously at us. Chance and I both jokingly groaned and looked at each other. "OK BYE EVERYONE!" Jake yelled running outside. There were so many fans outside today. we got in the car and opened the gate. We patiently waited for the fans to get out of the way then backed out. We drove away and had small talk until we got to the parking garage that was far from the coffee shop. "Hey why are we parking so far away." Jake now had his vlog camera back on. "Because boys," he looked at his vlog camera with a weird face. "The grind never stops." He then laughed obnoxiously at the camera. "Alright let's gooooo." We walked down the parking garage stairs because elevators are for losers. We finally made it to the street and started walking. We were walking down the sidewalk while jake talked to the vlog camera and we all joked around. Suddenly something bumped into me and spilled a hot liquid down my shirt. "Yo what the hell!" I looked up after looking at my shirt and saw a small hooded figure. "The figure pulled off the good and looked absolutely terrified. "I'm SO sorry!!" The hooded figure was a girl. A small girl who's height went to about my chest. Jake just stood there. "I am so sorry, dude!" The girl seemed to calm down a little bit. I just kept exchanging looks with chance and Jake. "Uhm..I don't have a shirt underneath this." I told Jake. "I'm so sorry, here let me buy you guys coffee, I insist!" Jake finally stepped in with his vlog camera low. "You don't need to do that, we have plenty." "No seriously I insist, that looks expensive it's the least I can do." Jake and I looked at chance. He just shrugged. "Okay." I said awkwardly. We let her walk ahead of us. Into the coffee shop. "Dude, its not even that bad of a spill, most of it got on her." Chance stated. I nodded in agreement. "So what do you guys want?" She turned and looked at us. "Uhm, what's your price range?" Jake asked. "Nothing more than a grande...please." She looked down. I just realized how rugged she looked. Like, the clothes she had on were dirty and frayed and her converse were faded her hair was brown and was in a really messy bun. We told her our orders and she turned around and told the cashier. When the cashier told her the total her eyes widened. It wasn't even that much, it was like $15. She pulled out a couple of crushed $1 bills and one $5 bill. "Bro something doesn't seem right." Jake whispered to chance and I. "Okay and a name for your orders?" The cashier asked the girl. "Faith.." Her voice got softer. "Thank you, just wait over there for your order." Faith nodded and motioned to us as she walked over to the place the cashier pointed at. Jake started to talk to her. "So where are you from?" It looked like the question caught her off guard. "Oh I'm from Ohio." We all lit up. "WERE FROM OHIO!" Jake yelled getting the attention of every one in the shop. "Oh that's cool! What part?" "Cleveland." Chance said. "Oh wow! Me too!" She said. She seemed a little more comfortable with us. "What brings you to LA?" I asked. "I don't know I just kind of...showed up here hoping to find myself." She laughed nervously. "Oh that's cool!" I said. "We came here after Jake, here, came to pursue his career as a YouTuber. He's a vlogger and so are chance and I." I gestured to chance and I. "So what? You don't have a name?" She laughed. I laughed. "Oh yea, yea I'm Anthony." She responded with a pretty smile. Her and I talked for a bit and jake turned his vlog camera back on. "We should bring Faith back to the team ten house and replace her hoodie." Jake said. "Well we barley know her." Chance said. "Uhm you guys don't have to do that. I was the stupid klutz that bumped into you. I-" "oh come on most of the coffee got on you, it's the least we can do. We insist." I said mocking her voice. She giggled softly. "Alright okay. If you insist." I smiled at her and jake and chance were whispering into the vlog camera saying stuff like, "I ship it." And told the jake paulers to come up with a ship name for us. I rolled my eyes. "FAITH." The person who was putting the coffee out called for our order. Faith stood up and grabbed the drink carrier and handed us our drinks. "You didn't get yourself something to replace the one you spilled?" Chance asked. "Oh no I wasn't that thirsty anyway." She laughed again, nervously. I looked at Chance cautiously and he looked at jake the same way. Something wasn't right about this girl, not in a dangerous way but something seemed off. We all left the cafe and to the parking garage. We piled into the car and drove off. "So why part of LA do you live in?" She was hesitant before answering, looking nervous as ever. "I, uh...I live near the city.. haha." There was that nervous laugh again. Jake started blasting "it's everyday bro" on the radio and we all sang along. Faith looked amused. "Is that you guys?" She asked. "Are you guys, like, famous?" She asked cautiously. "Well I just hit 7 mil on YouTube if that counts as famous." Jake said. "I guess it does- WHAT IS THAT??" We were pulling up to the team 10 house, se was referring to the jake paulers in front of the house. Jake slowly pulled in and closed the gate behind us. "Are those fans?!" She said, astonished. "Yea they are awesome." Jake responded. We got out of the car fast and ran into the house. "Welcome to the team ten house!" I said putting my arm around her shoulder. Nick came out of the office. "Who's this? Is this a fan? How old is she." We were about to talk but Faith beat us to it. "My names Faith. No, and I'm not sure what a fan of. And I'm 19." She said smiling sweetly. We shrugged and looked at nick. "And why is she here." Jake and Chance explained everything. By now I had taken my arm off her shoulder. "Uhm I don't mean to intrude, they insisted I come here." Just then the Martinez twins heard us and came to the front door. "Hey guys. Who's this?" They looked at Faith. "Do you guys speak Spanish?" She asked. They nodded. "They came here from Spain and they barley speak English." I explained. Faith nodded. "¡Hola! Mi nombre es fe, ¿cuáles son tus nombres?" Faith suddenly said. The twins smiled. "Mi nombre es Emilio y este es mi hermano Iván." Emilio said back. "Oh, eso es genial, ¿de qué parte de España eres? Mis padres son de España." Faith then said back. At this point we were just looking back and forth between them as they talked. "Nosotros y nuestra familia somos de la parte sur de España, es genial hablar con alguien que habla español." Ivan said. Faith just smiled. "What just happened?" Nick said. We were all equally confused. Jake went upstairs halfway through the Spanish conversation and got Faith a sweatshirt. "Oh wow, thank you." She looked so grateful. "Well I get out of your guys life now, thank you for the sweatshirt." She smiled sweetly. "No wait let me drive you home." She tensed up. "Uh, no that won't be necessary." "No really I can drive you, the city is a long walk." She ended up getting really defensive. "That's a walk I'm willing to take. Thank you for everything goodbye." She said harshly then walked out the door. "That was weird." Jake said. His eyes went wide. "Get the drone well follow her. Something about her seems...off." I nodded. "I've noticed that too." Chance ran off and came back with our best drone that went up to 10 miles. "Ok the drone is on the balcony you just have to control it. We connected the drone cam to the TV and stared at it as Jake controlled it. "There she is." I stated. We saw her on the cam, walking. She was already at the city and was walking down the sidewalk. Then she suddenly stopped. Everyone was in on finding out who this girl was. Nick was cyber-stalking her and we were following her on the drone. Something about this girl intrigued me. And it's not in a pedophile way. Because she's only like 2 years younger than me. "I found her old Instagram." Nick said. I walked over to him and looked at his computer. "Faith jones. There's one from Ohio." "That's where she's from. She told us." The last post that she had was a year ago. "I wonder why it was so long ago." Nick said confused. We kept scrolling down until we saw a video. The thumbnail was her lips and below. "Click on it." Nick clicked on it and started the video. There was piano at first. "Here I am once again, I'm torn into pieces, cant deny it, can't pretend. I just thought you were the one. Broken up, deep inside. But you won't see the tears I cry, behind these hazel eyes.." She sang on the video. "Wow.." Tessa said, now over my shoulder. "She's amazing." Nick said. "Bro you need to see this.." jake said looking at the drone screen. "Dude.." I was astonished at what I saw. "She's homeless..?" Chance asked, surprised. "Whoa...but wait, you guys said she bought you coffee. "Thats why she was freaking out over the price, people on the street probably gave her money, in which she used to buy us coffee because she spilt coffee on me." I said. "Someone with such a pure heart shouldn't have such consequences." Tessa shook her head. "Guys, TEAM 10 MEETING" Jake yelled. Everyone gathered into the living room. Jake explained the situation with Faith, then proposed his idea. "Guys what if we get faith, and have her live in the Team ten house? We can convince her to make a YouTube channel based around singing, we already know she's awesome because she from OHIO! So what do you guys think?" Everyone just stared in silence. "Jake that's crazy, we don't know this girl." Kade stated. "We didn't know a lot of you guys before you came to team ten." Chance said. "I say we do it." Nick suddenly said. "Really?" I said astonished. "I mean, yea, she seems nice and can communicate with the Martinez twins, what could go wrong?" He said. "We were all surprised. I'm sure we all expected nick out of everyone to say no. "Alright! Anthony and I will go tomorrow and pick her up in the morning. Meeting over." Jake said. Everyone went off into separate rooms and the day was done.

2 YEARS AGO
Faith POV
"What is that supposed to mean?" I yelled at my mother. "It means that your 'depressed' BULLSHIT is going to rub off on Cami! Stop this shit or get the hell out!" She screamed back. "YOU CANT EXPECT ME TO JUST 'POOF' BE BETTER! DEPRESSION ISN'T A CHOICE!" I yelled back. "THEN LEAVE! AND NEVER COME BACK!" I started crying. "FINE! DON'T EXPECT ME TO COME BACK WHEN IM HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!" I yelled and started to the front door. "OH PLEASE YOU'LL BE BACK AND APOLOGIZING TO ME BY TOMORROW NIGHT!" My mom screamed. I was just sobbing. "That's where you're wrong mother.." I slammed the door behind me and ran. I just ran as far as I could. After what seemed like months. I was skinnier I have been eating once a week. I came across a sign. It read, "WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES" I stared at the sign with my mouth gaping open. I'm 18 and homeless. I'm going to die alone, I'm never going to do anything with my life ever. What am I even doing here. I'm terrified of myself. I walked through the city and found an ally. I slipped in without anyone seeing me. It must've been 3 am because nobody was around. It seemed like my whole world was falling apart. I went from a model in Ohio to a homeless teenager in Los Angeles. I walked all the way from Ohio to Los Angeles. What was everyone here going to think.
PRESENT DAY
I don't want those guys knowing who I am. They were so nice, I'm just a street rat. I've been on these streets for about a year. I know the people. I listen to everyone. The one day I decide to take a walk I bump into a stranger and end up spending all my money trying to make it up to them. It was now morning and everyone was walking past the ally, business men and women, famous people, simple teenagers. I get up and look at the cafe across the street. "Saturday special.." I say to myself. It's Saturday. The grind starts early on Saturday. I smiled at the grey sky, it was cool out today. I squinted my eyes and saw a familiar face coming from across the street. I quickly backed up into the ally. "Nononononono-" his head popped into the ally. "Faith you there?" I kept silent. "You can't act like I didn't see you run back here." He said slyly and leaned on the wall. "Why are you here?" I asked getting up from my hiding spot. "Please leave me alone.." I said looking down. "All of team ten knows." I kept looking down. "I-" "come live with us." I looked up, wide eyed. "Is this a prank?" I asked. He held out a venti frappe from Starbucks. "Anthony you guys really don't need to do this." "It's fine..we insist." He said mocking me from yesterday. I smiled. "We aren't taking no for an answer." He smiled back. "Well then lets go, since I obviously have no choice." I smiled sheepishly at him. "You, Erika and Tessa are going on a shopping spree to get you clothes and any other feminine items you might need." For once in a long time I was happy.. how did I get so lucky at this low point in my life. I wonder what's to come..
