Faith POV
We finally got back to the house after shopping for what seemed like weeks. The whole way home and all through the mall, Erika and Tessa were chanting "FANTHONY, FANTHONY." And it was super annoying. I don't even know this guy why would I say I like him? My mind is everywhere, I've never even had a boyfriend. Let alone have friends, and I think this may be why. We finally got back to the team ten house after shopping for hours on end. "LOOK GUYS, FAITH IS BACK!" Jake walked up to me with his camera, zooming in and out. All the boys were behind Jake. "And here we observe girls in their natural habitat," Anthony said. "Don't touch their shopping bags they might attack!" Kade exclaimed. Erika flipped the camera off and took the bags I was carrying upstairs. Tessa followed her I just stood awkwardly with all the guys in front of me. "The creature stands alone, lost without her pack..." Anthony adds. I made eye contact with him. "IVE BEEN SPOTTED!" He yelled and they all ran away. Jake just stood there with his camera. "You gonna say anything?" He asked. "Hi Jake paulers!" I smiled and waved. "Ok honestly probably the most adorable 'Hi! Jake paulers' I've ever heard." Jake said, pointing the camera at his face then back to me. "So how do you like the team 10 house?" Jake asked. "It's great, everyone is so nice!" I said brightly. It was so weird having friends.. the only real friend I've ever had ended up leaving Ohio to go meet up with a guy. She was my modeling buddy, we always did photo shoots together. I don't remember her name, I think it was something like Alissa? But I have no idea, I remember I used to call her flower because her last name was a type of flower. "OH MY GOSH, FAITH COME UP HERE!" I ran as fast as I could upstairs. "Look!" Erika said pointing in the room. The room was already set up. My little recording booth was set up, completely, my bed was setup and had my desk underneath it with the new Mac computer. I stood there with my mouth wide open. "Wow. This is amazing!" I said leaning on my bed frame. "We are officially roommates." Tessa leaned on my shoulder and smiled. "So what song are you singing first?" Erika asked. "You should redo your first cover, that Kelly Clarkson song." Anthony was suddenly leaning on the door. "You know about that?" I asked. "Why do you think we offered you a YouTube channel to sing?" He smiled charmingly. "What makes you think I want to sing that." I ask cocky. "Hey, it was just a suggestion. I'm next door if you want any more of my opinions." He smirked and fake-bowed and walked away. "I'm gonna do Behind these hazel eyes." I said. I got familiar with the booth and set everything up. The music was ready and so was I. Everyone left the room and the door was shut behind me. I made sure the mic worked.. "Here I go.." I whispered to myself.

"Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong

Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it
Can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes..." I finished the song off and reviewed the final recording. I removed the tripod that was holding the camera, recording me and reviewed the footage on my new computer. Everything was looking good. I quickly created a YouTube channel and uploaded the video. I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" I said. "Gladly!" Anthony walked in, closing the door behind him. "So what's up?" He asked. "Why are you up here?" I asked, ignoring his question. "What? I can't come up here and talk with you." I gave him a reassuring look. "Jake is shooting the merch cannon so I figured he wouldn't bother you up here." I nodded and got up from my seat. "So how do things work in the team ten house?" I asked. "It's loud. Very loud." "Believe me nothing is worse than sleeping on the ground in an alley way." We both laughed. "I'm really sorry, I feel like I'm intruding.." He looked at me weird. "Are you kidding? You're awesome! Everyone loves you, you're witty, your pretty-" "believe me I'm not pretty." I said laughing. He had a serious look on his face. "Don't talk down to yourself. You are beautiful, honestly." He looked sympathetic. I felt my cheeks tint pink. "Come downstairs, I need you as a human shield." He laughed and grabbed my hand placing me in front of him so I can block whatever came his way. We walked downstairs stealthily. We turned the corner and saw Jake with his merch cannon. "HEY YOU WANT SOME MERCH?!" He yelled then shot it at me. I caught it and handed it to Anthony. "I just want a sandwich." I said. Anthony and I walked slowly to the kitchen with me still in front of him, shielding him. There was something wet on the floor and knowing me, I slipped. I felt my self falling then I wasn't. "I got you.." Anthony had me in a dip position and our faces were close. "Thanks.." I smiled and he did back. "OH MY GOD JAKE PAULERS IS FANTHONY REAAAALLLLLL?" He yelled. "The Jake paulers want more FANTHONY!" Chance yelled putting his hands on mine and Anthony's shoulders. Chance took out his phone and after a few minutes he said, "IM LIVE, EVERYONE SAY HI TO FANTHONY!" Chance yelled. The comments started rolling in. "WE WANT FANTHONY MOMENTS!" Almost all of them said. After a bit, I had made my sandwich and chance ended the live. It was almost night time. "Come on, one Fanthony moment for the Jake Paulers, pleaseeee?" Jake pleaded. Anthony and I were talking in the kitchen when he came up to us. I sighed. Anthony knew what I was thinking. "Friends?" He asked. "Friends." I said back. He jumped off the counter and jake looked confused. I held up the number 3 on my hand. He knew what I meant. I stood on my tip toes and connected lips with Anthony. All I heard behind me was the fading away of screaming of the other team ten people. I think both, Anthony and I got lost in the kiss because we stayed there for more than 3 seconds. We finally came back to reality and everyone was yelling and screaming. "IVE  GOT MY THUMBNAIL!" Anthony just stood there staring into space, smiling. Everyone was still shocked over the kiss. They all started chanting our ship name. "GUYS STOP SCREAMING!" Nick came out and yelled. "Bro." Jake ran over and showed nick the footage. "wOT?" He said. "Are you two a thing?" He asked. Anthony both shook our head, no. "Then why'd you kiss her?!" He said strictly. "It was a mutual thing." Anthony said and looked down at me. "Okay but guys seriously, we are going to VEGAS!" Nick said loudly. "Oh I did a modeling gig there once." I said out of habit. "You were a model?" Anthony asked. I nodded and took a bite of my sandwich. "Get you a girl that can do both." Jake laughed. I nodded again. I heard Anthony mumble something but brushed it off. Everyone spread out through out the house and I stood there eating a sandwich. I heard fast footsteps behind me, as soon as I turned around a merch gun blast filled my eardrums as I got hit in the arm with Jake Paul merch. Jake was jumping around laughing. Nick looked really pissed and picked up the other merch gun. He placed the merch inside and pointed it at Jake. "I swear to god if you shoot someone with that again I'm cancelling the trip to Vegas." He said. I started laughing. "What's so funny?" Nick smirked. "You guys are idiots." I laughed. Once again, I was shot with a merch gun. This time it pushed me back, I started falling like I did when I slipped. But once again, I never hit the ground. "You really gotta stop relying on me to catch you." Anthony laughed. "Whatever, that hit right in my torso." I said brushing my shirt. I pointed at Nick. "You're lucky I don't kick your ass." I said and turned around and finished my sandwich. "Id like to see you try." Nick said. I swallowed what i had left of my sandwich and turned around to face Nick. "I'll give you 5 seconds to run....5...4...3.." "You won't do anything." "..2." I was about to get to one and he remained standing there. "1." I started walking towards Nick and he started backing up slowly. "Dude you better run. She's not playing around." Jake pointed out. Nick then ran into the office, in the garage. "Man you don't fuck around." Anthony said. I shrugged and yawned. "I'm tired." I stated. "Then go to bed." Anthony snickered. "Nah, I'm good." He smiled. Everyone was either upstairs or in the office and it was just Anthony and I. He sat on the counter and patted the space next to him. I walked over and jumped on the counter right next to him. "So tell me about you. Who were you, besides modeling, before you lived on the streets." He looked down at me. "Uhm, there's not much, I never really had friends, never had a boyfriend, I have a twin brother and a little sister, I, uh..wasn't always the happiest person in the world." I laughed. Anthony kept a straight face. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Well, after I turned 15 I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression and insomnia. So I've always been really fucked in the head." I laughed again. I continued. "So that's why I turned to music to make me feel better, writing down notes to sonatas, singing covers, sometimes write music, that's why it's such a big part of my life.." I explained. "So that's why you are so excited to start your YouTube channel." He stated. "Yea, I actually just uploaded a video." I laughed. "Oooh can I watch?" I shook my head. "Do it on your own time, dude." He snickered again. I think imma go to bed, what about you?" He asked. "I guess I will too." I smiled and stared at him. He hopped off the counter and held out his hand. I grabbed it and jumped off with him. "You and I should hang out tomorrow." He said, still holding my hand. "As friends, right?" He thought for a second. "Yea, just friends. You seem like a great person and I hope that we can be good friends. I hope we all can be. Things didn't work out well when Jake broke things off with his ex.." He said, quieter than before. "Oh?" I said. "Yea, the whole situation started drama and no one wants to deal with it. So, we should probably stay friends haha, and give the audience Fanthony moments when needed." I laughed. "Of course." He kept smiling at me. I stood on my tip toes again and kissed him quickly. I walked upstairs and got into bed. I stared at the ceiling, thinking about my life now. I looked over at Tessa and she was sound asleep. I didn't fall asleep till around 2am.. time to start a new day..
