Faith POV
I was walking down the street in my pjs. I had thrown on shoes before I walked out without a word. Everyone was so supportive of everything, what did I do to deserve them? I kept walking around the neighborhood. The neighbors gave me odd looks as I walked by their house. I had my phone in my pocket when it suddenly started buzzing. Comments from that picture. Series of "you two are so cute!" "Who is she? She's hot!" And of course you can't have a comment section without haters, "ew she ugly, you can do better." "Uhm, how long have you known her now?" Stuff like that. One comment caught my eye though from _cami.with.a.camera_. I stopped dead in my tracks. I remember when I got kicked out of my house, or before I got kicked out of my house, my sister Cameryn, had started to take a liking in photography. I tapped the profile and saw that she followed me, I followed her back. I started walking back to the house and my phone buzzed again.
_cami.with.a.camera_ accepted your follow request.
I looked through her Instagram. This was for sure my sister.
DM request from _cami.with.a.camera_
I quickly accepted it.
Cami: I'll take it that you are happy?
Me: far from it actually.
Cami: I miss you so much, mom is so much worse.
Me: she can only get worse from where she is rn.
Cami: I know.. Carlos also misses you.
I was starting to tear up. My twin brother, Carlos, had been the light of my life and he chose to stay with the gang and live up to be the head of it.
Me: I miss him too. How is the gang doing?
Cami: they are basically the towns body guards. Carlos is really happy and they are thinking of expanding to bigger places.
Me: oh.
Cami: yeah. So where are you?
Me: I'd rather not say.
Cami: can you at least tell me the state you are in? Are you still in Ohio?
Me: no. Far from it actually.
Cami: please tell me what state you are in.
Me: why do you want to know.
Cami: because I'm worried about you! I know you were homeless for a bit!
Me: ...
Cami: please, Faith.. tell me where you are.
Me: promise me you won't tell mom.
Cami: why would I do that. I hate her.
Me: I'm in LA.
Cami: YOU WENT TO CALI?????
Me: yup.
Cami:I'm coming down there.
Me: no you aren't.
Cami:yes I am. I've always wanted to go to California.
Me: no.
Cami: why?!
Me: because cami! You are 17, turning 18 soon and you are still in highschool, you can't get those kinda of days off in highschool!
Cami: I dropped out of highschool.
Me: WHY?!
Cami: I was stressed and I kept breaking down in my classes and I missed classes anyway because my teachers always sent me to the counselor.
Me: oh.
Cami: yea so I'm coming to cali.
Me: cami, at least wait till you are 18. Do you have your drivers license?
Cami: yes.
Me: come over for your 18th birthday. I'm buying you a car if you wait till you are 18.
Cami: wait seriously?!
Me: yes.
Cami: omg fine I'll wait. I might bring Carlos, maybe they can expand to LA as a gang?
Me: sounds good, I have to go talk to you later.
I started jumping up and down in the middle of the sidewalk, squealing. I'm going to see my sister again, I can't wait to tell Jake Tessa Erika and Anthony. I started running back to the house. I almost tripped a few times but I was so happy I didn't care. I finally saw the familiar house and ran faster than I was before. Once I got to the door I was out of breath, like I had been running from a murderer. I took out the key I was given and headed in the house, out of breath but smiling regardless. "Whoa are you okay?" Jake came to me. "I'm great!" I sighed. Anthony came down when he heard me. "What happened?" I smiled brightly. "My siblings are coming to LA." I was finally catching my breath. "That's great!" Jake said. "Who are your siblings?" Anthony asked, I pulled out my phone, and pulled up Camis Instagram. There had to be at least one picture with Carlos. I kept scrolling and found one of all of us from a year ago, when I had a red streak in my hair. "Wow, you and your brother look a lot alike," I mentally laughed. "That's because we are twins." I smiled. "YOU ARE ONE WITH THE MARTINEZ TWINS!" Anthony lifted me up, making me drop my phone. Max suddenly opened the door and walked in. "Hey guys." I smiled and waved. "What's up?"he said lifting his brow at the scene. I was over Anthony's shoulder and I was trying to get down. Max walked over and picked up my phone and looked at the screen. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Who is this?" He held up a picture of my sister. "That's my sister, cameryn." I said finally being let down by Anthony. He half frowned. "Oh ok." He handed me my phone and walked off to his desk. "I have a cover to do!" I said, cheerfully. I ran past Anthony and up to my room where Tessa was on her bed, with her computer. "Hey I'm gonna do a video." She smiled and nodded. I assumed she was editing a video because she seemed really focused on her computer. I walked in my set up room and connected my computer to play music. Now to choose a song. I scrolled and scrolled through songs and finally found the best one, Forest by Twenty One Pilots. I set everything up and put my headphones on over my now brushed hair.
"Quickly moving towards a storm
Moving forward, torn
Into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for
I don't understand why everything I adore
Takes a different form when I squint my eyes
Have you ever done that?
When you squint your eyes
And your eyelashes make it look a little not right
And then when just enough light
Comes from just the right side
And you find you're not who you're supposed to be?
This is not what you're supposed to see
Please, remember me I am supposed to be
King of a kingdom or swinging on a swing
Something happened to my imagination
This situation's becoming dire
My tree house is on fire
And for some reason I smell gas on my hands
This is not what I had planned
This is not what I had planned"
I rapped. As soon as I finished the last chorus I saved the recording and looked to my left and saw Anthony and Erika. "Oh hi, I didn't hear you guys come in." I tucked hair behind my ear, hoping they wouldn't notice my embarrassment. "That was amazing, faith!" Erika ran over and hugged me, sweeping me off my feet. "That was fire." Anthony said, with a stoner look. I laughed. I laugh when I'm nervous. Erika wiggles her brows and walked out. "We tried to make this studio as good as possible for you." Anthony said with his hands in his pockets. "It's so pretty." I lit up. "You know what I'm going to do?" I asked. He looked up and raised his eyebrow. "On this wall, the wall that shows up behind me, I'm gonna paint a black tree to give the room the red and black feeling, then I'm gonna move my des over here we're the loveseat is and move the loveseat against the half wall next to the mic. Then, I'm gonna get a vlog camera and my schedule will be 3 vlogs, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. 2 gaming videos at my desk, Monday and Tuesday. And covers to songs on the weekends, so that way I get videos out everyday but the viewers don't get bored with the same content!" I explained. "You are really getting the hang of the YouTube thing." He looked down at his pocket. "Lets go to the store, I'll get you a vlog camera and some games to play for your gaming videos. I smiled brightly. "Oh my gosh, you would do that?" He nodded and walked towards me. "Aye of course I would, you deserve the world." He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug. "Just a hug?" He asked, pulling away. "You don't even have to ask." I giggled. I pulled him close again by his neck and landed my lips softly on his. "Ok let's head out." He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room. I tried to stop him but my socks slid against the hard floor. I tried pulling him back but I failed. "Anthony!" He finally stopped. "What?" He said stopping but still holding my hand. "I have to get dressed." I laughed, out of breath. "Oh yea." He smiled at me. I turned on m heels and headed in the room. I thought about what I was gonna wear. Should I go preppy? Or goth? I figured exactly what I was going to wear and yanked the clothes out of the closet and drawers. After about 10 minutes of getting ready I looked at my self in the mirror. i looked hot. And that's not something I usually say to myself.
