I hopped out of the shower, quickly getting dressed before heading out into the kitchen. Voices boomed down the hall as I approached, I heard a familiar yet unknown female voice as I rounded the corner.
"Skylar!" Rebecca yelled pulling me into her arms. "Oh you're damp!"
"Yeah, I just got out of the shower, sorry," I was puzzled as to whether or not I should be insulted or not. "How are you? I haven't seen you since my second permanent night in LA." Though I had only met Rebecca Black once in my lifetime it was clear to me that she was the type of person who got along with everyone. Though her electric personality was some what intimidating, I knew she meant well.
"I'm good, busy, ya know the usual. How are you liking LA? Think you might stay here?" she said as she pulled herself up on the counter taking a seat.
"Hey dude! Get your ass off the counter, I'm trying to cook here!" Jc yelled with bits of laughter.
"Sorry Mr. Chef Caylen sir!" she shouted back before hopping down. "Skylar how do you put up with him?"
"I think a better question is, how does he put up with me." I laughed taking a seat at the breakfast, peeking over the counter to see exactly what Jc was doing. He caught me staring, sending a smiling my direction before bending down to retrieve a skillet from the bottom cabinet.
"Jenn and Andrea are on their way, Kian just went to pick up Sam, and Trevor's mom is dropping him off any minute." Ricky announced as he entered the room.
"It's a six out of six feast darling," Rebecca said dancing toward Ricky, "Well and then some."
"Yasss darling work it!" Ricky said as they joined hands in a tango through the kitchen.
"Tacos a la Caylen will be done in about twenty! Prepare your body for a mouth-gasm!" Jc yelled throwing his hands in the air as he watched over the skillet.
The doorbell rang through the house causing everyone in the kitchen to freeze for a moment before Connor's voice echoed down the stairs, "I got it!"
Before I knew it the room was full of the guys and then some, my mind full of thoughts about if I truly did fit in with these people. I watched as everyone mingled and enjoyed Jc's meal. I couldn't help but feel out of place. Half the room vlogging or on their phone, the other half were crazy loud, and then there's me. Pre-WPP I would have easily fit my way into the crowd, yet now even though I was free to be myself, I still held back. Perhaps because I hadn't been myself in so long, I had forgotten how to be me. Jc looked up from the couch across the room, staring into my eyes, for a moment I felt as if we were the only people in the room. He gave me a quick wink before looking back to his plate, I couldn't help but become a bit giddy with butterflies after his wink. I continued to look over to Jc, who was paying more attention to his plate of food than the people around him. Something about him was perfect, I couldn't put my finger on it, but he had the ability to make someone feel special just by shooting them a smile.
"Oh my god!" Connor mumbled taking a seat next to me at the breakfast bar. "So loud!"
"You're telling me!" I laughed, taking a bite of my nachos.
"I love them all, I really do. But so loud!" he mumbled running his hands through his hair before resting them on his ears.
"As someone who has spent a lot of time alone, this is probably the loudest room I have been in, in years!" I laughed, glancing at the room behind us.
"YouTubers tend to be loud but I think we redefine it," Connor laughed before rising from the seat to throw his paper plate in the trash.
"Hey Connor, we're filming come on!" Ricky hollered as the six boys headed to the back patio.
"God Jc knows how to cook!" Andrea yelled throwing her plate away. "Kian's best dish is easy mac."
"Almost better than Taco Bell, almost." Jenn said plopping on the couch next to Rebecca.
"Ladies!" Rebecca yelled with wide eyes. "We are missing a great opportunity!"
"What are you screaming about?" Jenn laughed.
"Look around, where are all six of the boys?" Rebecca said standing.
"Outside?" Andrea said pointing to the sliding glass doors.
"Skylar slowly reach over and lock that door without any sudden movements." I did as she said but was quite confused. "Andrea and Jenn slowly head toward the garage and front, lock the doors!"
Jenn and Andrea returned with the same confused look on their faces as me. "So what's going on?" I laughed.
"We have just locked all of the boys outside," Rebecca said with a wide smile. "It's time to redecorate!" She ran over the sliding doors, shutting the curtain so if the guys turned around they wouldn't notice anything strange.
"Andrea and Skylar go upstairs and trash everything. Go crazy, Jenn and I will get the downstairs and then meet you upstairs for part two!" Rebecca ordered, and we all followed. Andrea and I headed up the stairs turning everything upside down along the way. We attacked the rooms, though I somewhat felt bad, I knew the guys would find humor in it. We were on our last room, Connor's when Jenn and Rebecca came running up the stairs.
"Guys, this is great!" Jenn laughed.
"Time for part two!" Rebecca said opening the doors to Connor's balcony overlooking the patio and pool. We could see the guys sitting filming, quite loudly, in the same spot we had left them.
"We have water balloons, ketchup, eggs, whipped cream, and mustard! Now we attack!" Rebecca said dumping the contents of the grocery bag on the balcony. "On the count of three, 1....2....3!" On three the boys were pleted with various grocery items, as they let out screams. I couldn't help but feel as if for the first time that night that I was apart of their group. I looked up at the stary sky, getting somewhat distracted by it's bright beauty.
"SKKKKKYYYYYY!" Jc yelled as I sprayed down on him with mustard.
"Love you!" I hollered back down to him as Jenn dropped a single egg directly on top of his head. "Got him!" I laughed as we high fived.
"We're out of ammo!" Andrea yelled, "Bathe yourselves!"
"Dirty little boys!" Rebecca exclaimed as Sam, Jc, and Trevor hopped in the pool fully clothed. Ricky and Kian quickly following their lead.
"You guys suck!" Connor shouted back up to us before diving into the water head first.
"Wait till they see inside! They're going to murder us!" Jenn laughed. A pain struck me for only a moment, Andrea's eyes meeting mine with a look as if to say "I'm sorry". I silently mouthed, "It's ok" as she offered a slight smile.
