Here's a random update! :) It's short but oh well I'm going to be updating more frequently now.
Unedited.
Reag's P.O.V
Bumpy roads. That's what I woke up to. How pleasant, huh? Travelling on the road sucks. I thought riding in a trailer on the freeway would be fun, but trust me when I tell you this, it sucks. If you've ever been on a tour bus before, you'd know how it is. Sometimes we jerk around corners and you never know what you're doing but in my case, I was standing up, on the side of the bed, and the trailer jerked to the left, me falling to the right on top of Kavan and Jeremy but since Riley was on the far end, he was untouched and snoring lightly.
Kavan jolted awake when I landed on top of him and I scrambled to get off of him as fast as I could. Although, it was a struggle for I couldn't stand up when his arm was tightly wrapped around me.
"Uh, sorry. I was getting up and I fell when the trailer jerked on a turn...Sorry." I mumble, looking at the ground, finally standing up on my feet. I moved a stray piece of hair out of my face and blushed crimson red.
"You said that already." Kavan laughed. I tend to apologize way too much when I do something stupid. It also doesn't help that I'm a very clumsy person and get myself into shit situations. I literally got myself into an actual shit situation.
A perfect example would be when I played truth or dare with the twins when I was thirteen. They thought it'd be so funny for me to go into the boys' bathroom at school the next day...so I did.
I went into that bathroom like it was nothing, all the guys looking at me strangely and some walking out awkwardly. But others just shrugged and didn't really care...until I used the urinal. Yup, that's right. I used it. I literally never even saw one before so, thinking it was their toilet, I sat down on it, and took a shit. Lovely, right? All the boys ran out and our principal came into the bathroom while I was still on the urinal (thank God we had a woman principal) and she screamed. I was so awkwarded out and when she told me how guys use it...I was scarred for life. Most embarrassing moment ever.
Landon still teases me about it to this day and I bitch slap him every time. But, that's what best friends are for, right? Landon and I may not be on good terms right now but I certainly am still very close to him. He was my best friend. I just can't help but feel I did something to him to make him and I separate. We're still very close but we don't hang out and talk much like we used to.
I just wish I knew what I did.
"You okay?"
I twist my head around to face Kavan staring at me as I just daze off in my thinking mode. Some days I wish I could just watch a movie of my life and see all the memories I don't remember and see all the ones I recognize. That way I could go back and apologize for things, re-live things, and go back to where some memories all began.
"Hm, yeah I'm fine. Just thinking." I smile at him and he crawls out of bed and stands next to me.
"I do that a lot, too. You're not alone." And with that, he slides open the little door and goes down the three steps into the main part of the trailer with the little carpet space, couch, T.V, and kitchen with a little table. In this case, though, it's a bed right now.
Fitch and Hunter are laying on the bed-table thing and snoring their heads off and Ash is scrolling through his phone again before he goes into the bathroom and we hear him singing while he's on the toilet. Lovely, Ash.
"Morning, boys." I chirp, rummaging through the fridge. Right now we're currently stopped at a trailer rest stop. I'm guessing so that their dad's can have a rest in the truck or some shit. Even though it's morning. They drove all night so they deserve this.
I get groans in response and I roll my eyes, taking out the gallon of milk, finding Lucky Charms in the cabinet and pulling a spoon out of the drawer and grabbing a bowl from the other cabinet and sitting down in front of the couch next to Kav as he scrolls through cartoons.
"Tom and Jerry!" I say excitedly. He clicks on the really old cartoon and I laugh as Tom chases Jerry while Jerry is in a toy train and Tom trips and gets yelled at by the fat ass lady that sends poor Tom into the rain outside. She's a real bitch of an owner and it never shows her face.
"Hey guys, whatchya watchin?" Jere comes and sits down next to us with a chocolate chip muffin in his hand, some of the crumbs getting on the carpet but I doubt they cared.
"Tom and Jerry." Kav responds and hushes Jere as we're all intrigued with the show.
We got so into the show that we didn't even hear Connor and Jc come in with bags of food for our fridge and cupboards. "Ahhh! Tom and Jerry!" Connor cheers, clapping his hands and grabbing a bag of crisps that was in the shopping bags they got full of food. He takes a seat next to us and Jc sits on the couch with a cup of coffee.
"Remember the good ole days, Con?" Jc laughs and Connor nods with a grin. They may be losing some of their hair and have stubble and look about almost forty-late thirties but, they certainly don't act like it. They're still teenagers at heart.
"Dad! Shut up! I'm trying to watch Tom and Jerry!" Jeremy complains to Connor but Connor just flips him off and chucks a Dorito at his face. Jeremy rolls his eyes.
"Teenagers.." Connor mumbles under his breath and I can't help but laugh, biting my lip to hold it in.
"CONNOR! JC! Get out here we have a problem with the tire!" Kian and Ricky peek their heads through the trailer door.
Connor and Jc get up, stretch, and leave the trailer, leaving us to ourselves again.
Being my bored self, I go out of the trailer to get fresh air and see Trevor and Sam trying to screw something onto the tire while the rest of the dad's laugh at them. I roll my eyes and walk away from the cement part of the rest stop for trucks and trailers we're at and go find a quiet spot on this grass patch that overlooks trees and the Atlantic Ocean.
I sit in a criss-cross applesauce position and put my hands behind me to support my weight and I close my eyes, listening to the sound of the ocean waves rippling and the tree leaves rustling against the harsh winds. The East Coast is amazing so far. Right now we're on the outskirts of Maryland. Our first official stop will be in NYC an we'll be meeting up with the rest of the travelling gang to see the Statue of Liberty, Madison Square Garden, and Times Square.
I wonder how my parents are surviving without me to yell at the boys? I'm sure Parker is scarred for life. Noah's already poisoned her mind so why bother protecting her anymore. Dad and Mum just need to give up already.
Jai and Elliot are probably already befriending people right and left. They're the charmers of the family who get along with everyone who can be breathe. They once stroke up a conversation with a fish.
Noah sent me a picture of him wearing the llama hat so I guess it's official that he gets it first. Dammit. I wanted that bloody weird hat.
We arn't meeting up with a lot of people around the states. The main place we're going is California. That's where everyone is at. We're all staying in the Troyler residence while we're there which should be interesting. Ellie is in first grade and so Tyler and Troye said I could walk her to school one day! How awesome is that? I can't believe today is January 2nd of 2034. It's crazy. Seems like just yesterday it was 2030.
"What're you doing out here?" I whip my head around to see Hunter. He looks at me questioningly.
"Just needed peace and quiet." I shrug. He shrugs, too, sitting down next to me. He folds his knees up to his chest, resting his arms around them.
We both gaze out at the ocean and the gray sky as the chilly wind envelopes us with it's bitter cold. I shiver and Hunter scoots closer to me, wrapping one arm around me and instantly his body warmth warms me up as well. I feel a little awkward about it but don't question it because I need the warmth.
"Back home, I have a spot by a creek under a tree where I throw rocks and just sit and think or take a nap. You know, to get away from everything." He says quietly, staring off into the distance, watching a boat out in the ocean.
I don't get why anybody would be in the water in January. It's really cold here, even though it's colder in London but still, this weather is just as cold and people are bloody fishing in boats and I saw some people wearing shorts! Are American's just born idiots?
"Back at my home in London, well not at my home but technically my second home, Landon Tomlinson and I have a treehouse that I went to with him when I wanted to get away from everything. Especially when my brothers were fighting." I tell him, not meeting eye contact as I just watched the ocean and the sun shining behind some dreary clouds. America's scenery was beautiful.
"Nice. I've always wanted a treehouse but the boys and I have a secret hideout fort thing that we found in the woods close to our house a long time ago. It's an abandoned old cabin. We turned it into our man cave and now it has bean bags, a dart board, a mini fridge, and we bring snacks out there and just talk." Hunter explains to me and I nod, listening to every word he says since he hasn't talked much to me since I got on the trailer but now it was just us.
"That's brilliant! I wish I could see it." I smile and picture it in my mind.
He shrugs. "You probably can when we get back to Cali. It's about 3/4 of a mile out from our house."
"You all live together?"
"Yeah. In a mansion on the outskirts of L.A. It's on a little hillside and our house is cream with stone and we have a stone driveway and a huge backyard that leads to the woods with a creek running through it." He describes the house to me and I'm left with my mouth hanging open. I can't wait until we reach California.
"Guys! The tire's fixed! Let's get back on the road!" Ash yells at us and we get up and brush off our pants before walking back and getting into the trailer.
Kavan and Riley are sitting in front of the TV playing some racing game with their tongues poking out as they turn really hard with their controllers. "DAMN IT, RILEY!" Kavan yells and then screams at the top of his lungs making my ears bleed eternally.
"You're never gonna win this, Kav! Just give up already." Riley smirks and starts laughing when, I'm assuming, Riley's car rams into Kavan's and swerves him off the track and into the grass where his car slows down.
"You know what!? Fuck this shit I'm going to bed!" Kavan yells and throws his controller down and stomps up the three steps to the bedroom and slams the sliding brown door shut.
I look at the boys with a shocked expression. "What pissed in his corn flakes?"
They burst out laughing. I grin and sit back in the chair, thinking of all the places we'll go.
A few hours later, Fitch is trying to wake up Kavan by smashing a handful of ketchup, mustard, and mayo on him. I try not to snicker as we come closer to the king size bed where he sleeps peacefully, his face buried into his pillow. He rolls over with a snore and we take this as our chance.
Fitch leans over him and Kavan's nose twitches in his sleep. Then, I hit record on the camera I'm holding and I give Fitch a thumbs up. He smacks the condiments onto Kavan's face and Kavan springs up, his eyes wide at what just happened and then he jumps out of bed and tackles the two of us to the ground.
Hunter comes in with wide eyes and tries to pry Kavan off us but fails. "Fitch! Get off them!" He screams and Kavan releases us and I pant for breath.
"You almost killed me!" Fitch accuses, pointing a finger at Kav.
Kavan rolls his eyes. "Over exaggerating much, Princess Peach?"
Fitch eyes him with a warning stare.
Kavan stands up and I end the video I was recording and hide my camera behind my back so Kavan doesn't get even more upset than he already is. He goes down the steps, leaving Fitch and I alone to just stare awkwardly at each other.
"So, I guess now is the chance to have a heart to heart moment, eh?" He winks and I thwack his stomach and he makes an 'oof' sound. "Okay...guess not.." He breathes out in pain.
I smirk as I walk out of the bedroom and go down the steps to the main part of the trailer. Hunter and Riley are watching TV, Ash and Jeremy are eating at the table, and Kavan is laying on the floor, arms behind his head.
All of a sudden, making my ears bleed in pain, a high pitched squeal erupts and I look down at Kavan who made the horrific sound. "What the bloody hell!?" I yell in a panic.
"We're in New York City!" He says with a grin as he springs up and looks out the window. How did he know that by laying on the floor? But, sure enough, I look out the window to see water, the Statue of Liberty, many skyscrapers, cars, roads, and bridges.
Welcome to land of polluted air.
Gotta love 'Merica!
The trailer goes over a bridge to the city and I gape at the view in awe. The boys are breathing over my shoulder to look at as well. "This is awesome." I hear Jeremy breath.
"No shit, Sherlock." I retort not so nicely.

"Okay, each of you will get a buddy. We put matching numbers in this hat so you have to find the person with the same number as you and that will be your buddy, okay?" Tyler Oakley explains. Right now, Tyler, Troye, their daughter Ellie, O2L, second generation O2L, Alfie, Zoella, their daughter Rylynn and their twin boys Miles and Ryder, Marcus, Naomi, their son Rex, Caspar, Joe, Jim, Tanya, their daughter Tillie, Louis, Jack, Finn, Phil's family, and my family were all at Times Square.
I discovered Rylynn was seventeen just like Noah, Miles and Ryder were twenty one, just a year older than my twin brothers, Rex was fourteen, and Tillie was twelve. There were twenty three adults and nineteen kids/teenagers. A total of forty two people. We all drew numbers out of a beanie and I got the number eighteen. I hope I'm not paired with some little kid.
"You may not switch numbers with someone, whoever you're with, you're with. No whining." Damn it. I want to groan right now. This sucks. What if I'm with an adult or a little kid?
People are already finding their matches and I'm just standing awkwardly by myself. I see my dad got paired with Tanya, my mum got paired with Joe, Tyler got paired with Zoella, Alfie got paired with Louis, Marcus got paired with Connor, Naomi got paired with Finn, Jack got paired with Caspar, Jim got paired with Troye, Jc got paired with Sam, Kian got paired with Ricky, Trevor got paired with Phil, Poppy got paired with Rylynn, Noah got paired with Fitch, Hunter got paired with Rex, Tillie got paired with Grace, Alex got paired with Jeremy (poor Jeremy), Ash got paired with Riley, Miles got paired with Jai, Elliot got paired with Ryder, and that left Kavan and I. Sweet!
I walked over to Kavan and looked down at his paper. Of course, it said eighteen on it and Kavan grinned at me. I rolled my eyes.
Tyler and Zoella were standing in front of everyone and Tyler shouted at us to shut up. "Ya'll need to pipe the fuck down so I can give the instructions!" Silence. "Thank you."
"Now, with your buddy, you're to go on a scavenger hunt and find the pictures on the paper we will be handing out to you in a minute. On the paper is pictures of things in New York City that you need to find and cross off your list by taking a picture of you and your buddy next to it. The buddies who finds the most wins two certificates to a spa for Hawaii!" Tyler announces and we all go nuts.
I picture a masseuse massaging my back as I lay on my stomach with cucumbers in my eyes and a face mask on. Paradise.
"Kav, we have to win this." I whisper with determination. Kavan nods in agreement.
Tyler hands us our scavenger list with the pictures of the places we need to find and then Tyler blows the whistle for us to start hunting.
Kavan and I look at the first thing on the list which is a hot dog stand. We can so find this! I grab Kavan's wrist and yank him towards the busy streets and instantly spot a hot dog stand about ten feet in front of us. We maneuver our way through the crowd and Kavan and I take a selfie in front of the hot dog stand and cross it off our list.
Next is a Mc. Donald's sign. I chuckle and show it to Kavan who points across the street at a Mc. Donalds sign that's low and sticks out. We cross the street, only to be honked at and quickly take a picture of us in front of the sign. Two down and a billion to go!
"What's next on this list?" I ask. He scans over the paper and points to number three. It's a bridge? Surrounded by trees. Going over a creek. I sighed. How are we going to find that? Kavan grinned and I looked at him oddly.
"Central Park." He mumbled.
I widened my eyes in realization and we started jogging.
We got to Central Park in minutes and were panting when we spotted the bridge. The instructions said to take a picture of us sitting on the pathway. So, I went up to a random guy with blonde hair who was surrounded by girls and tapped his shoulder when the girls started to break away from him.
He turned around and smiled at me. That's when I realized who it was. He seemed to recognize me too and he broke out into a full on grin.
"Jake?" I said with a gasp.
"Reag?" He gaped at me in disbelief.
