Hayley's POV
The next morning I got dressed and met all the guys in the lobby. My eyes landed on Steve-O looking at me. He smiled his sweet smile at me and looked back at Dave to listen to him.
My face felt warm and I walked off to adjust my camera lens. I couldn't and I refuse to like with Steve-O. He seems so sweet but he's so wild and crazy and I'm just..me.
"Hey Hayley! You and Steve-O are gonna hang today. He needs someone to supervise him."
My jaw dropped "Wait a minute! I'm nobody's babysitter. I came here to take pictures."
Jeff grinned at me "And you can, that's tomorrow. Just carry your camera around like you usually do and drag Steve-O with you."
I sighed and nodded "Alright.."
Steve'O hopped up and walked over to me "So where will we be going hot head?"
My eyes met his and I quickly looked down "Somewhere to take pictures. I don't know my way around Japan so we will just walk I guess."
He chuckled "Alright let's go."
As we left the hotel, Steve-O was hot on my heels. I spotted a small pond and walked over to it. Kneeling down, I snapped a few pictures of the water ripples.
"Can I take a picture?"
I smiled and nodded, handing it to him.
"Just be careful not to drop it, I've dropped cameras before and it's enough to break a heart."
He chuckled and took a picture of me. My eyes went wide and I jumped up to get the camera from him.
"Steve-O! I probably look like poop. Let me see." I pouted
His smile grew and he shook his head "You look like..a tiny princess."
I laughed "A princess doesn't wear ripped jeans and old shirts."
"Well, she does now."
I grinned "You're so lame O' you know that?"
He grabbed my arm gently and placed my camera back into my hands.
"You called me O', I didn't think you would."
"Why?"
"Cause you seem so timid around me."
I smiled shyly and started walking with him, down the sidewalk.
"I'm just a quiet and timid person I guess. My apologies if I came off as an introvert."
He started laughing and he threw his head back "You're so dainty and..fancy with words."
My eyebrows raised "You're so crazy and..reckless."
"Smartass."
"Objectively, I'd say I'm very smart. Although it has nothing to do with my ass."
Steve-O rolled his eyes and watched me snap a few pictures of the ducks in the pond.

After a long day with Steve-O following me around, we were told to come back. My feet were practically numb from my shoes and I was limping.
Steve-O looked at me and bent down slightly "Hop on."
"Steve-O you don't-"
"C'mon, you're small as fuck. Hop on."
I sighed and hesitantly got on his back. My legs wrapped around him and I held onto his shoulders. Steve-O walked down the sidewalk and carefully crossed the street, holding me tight. The city was lit up with a million lights and I couldn't help but be hypnotized.
I was quickly shaken from my daze when someone blew their horn at us. It was an angry taxi driver and he wasn't too pleased with the way Steve-O cut him off.
"He had the right of way you know?"
Steve-O shrugged and laughed "Eh, he can have the right of way when he's not so angry."
I smiled softly and got off his back when we arrived back at the hotel. Dunn quickly spotted me and smiled.
"There's the little lady!"
I laughed and ran to him "Oh how I missed you sir Dunn!"
Bam pouted "What about me?"
I grinned and snapped a picture of him "You know you're special to me Bam Bam."
Bam huffed and ruffled my hair, walking away.
My eyes landed on a sad looking Steve-O. My heart screamed at me to go check on him but Jeff had other plans.
"Hayley, I need you to take photos of the guys. Once they're in their costumes and shit we can start."
I smiled softly and nodded "Okay Uncle Jeff."

I stood in the studio for about fifteen minutes waiting for all the guys to finish up. When I looked up all the guys came out in Christmas outfits. Knoxville was dressed up as santa, all the guys except for Preston and Wee Man were elves. Preston and Wee Man had on antlers and Wee Man had a red nose on.
I couldn't help myself, I started to laugh. My laughter got so bad that I snorted. I quickly covered my mouth and cleared my throat.
Dunn started laughing at me and I rolled my eyes "Isn't it too early for Christmas crap? We haven't even had Thanksgiving yet."
Jeff shrugged and smiled "Never too early."
I stared at him and then shook my head "Okay then."
Steve-O didn't look very happy and I giggled "Awe O' you look adorable."
He grumbled and rubbed his face "I can't believe this."
I smiled and adjusted my camera lens, snapping multiple pictures of them.
After a few seconds of them being nice and holding still, hell broke lose. I took my chance and started snapping random pictures. I smiled and zoomed in on Knoxville and Steve-O quickly taking the picture. I kicked my uncle's leg gently.
"Get in the pictures."
Jeff rolled his eyes and put on a Santa hat, joining them. I smiled and sat down, taking a picture from below.
"Fabulous boys! You look marvelous!" I laughed at them and smiled at Steve-O.
He grinned and put his elf hat on me "Awe Hayley you look adorable."
I rolled my eyes "Now you're just mocking me, you jerk."
He laughed and helped me up "We partying tonight Knoxville?"
Knoxville nodded "Yep, be ready in two hours. You coming Hayley?"
Suddenly I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. What were they possibly gonna get into?
I stuttered and shrugged "I'm not sure guys. I think I'm just gonna go back to my room and go to sleep."
Bam held his thumbs down and booed me. I laughed and packed up my camera, ignoring their pleads.
"Sorry guys, I'm tuckered out. I'll see you tomorrow morning, have fun."
Steve-O hugged me quickly "I might swing by tonight, don't fall asleep too early."
I blushed and nodded "No funny business O' or else."
He chuckled and I scurried off to the elevator.
Once I reached my room, I set my stuff down carefully and walked to the bathroom. I immediately turned on the bath water and dropped a bath bomb in. I undressed and sunk down into the water. My music played softly and I slowly fell asleep in the warm bath water, surrounded by bubbles.

Sadly I was woken up to the door being broken down. I screamed out of genuine fear and covered myself up. Steve-O, Knoxville, Dunn and Bam were all standing there shocked.
"Get out!" I screeched as I threw the bar of soap at them.
They all rushed out with their eyes covered. I managed to get my heart beat back to a normal rate and get dressed. After I got dressed, I stormed out of the bathroom with a stone cold glare on my face.
"What the hell was that?! Are you guys insane?!"
Steve-O cleared his throat "I knocked on your door like..multiple times and you didn't respond so I got scared. I ran and got the guys and smashed down the door to check on you."
I sighed "Well I'm thankful you guys care enough about me to do that but next time just call. Okay? I was asleep."
My arms stretched out and I immediately gave them a group hug.
Steve-O kissed my head "Since it was my idea to destroy the door, pack up your stuff and come stay the night with me."
I smiled softly and nodded "Thank you O', give me just a few seconds."
He nodded and I waved to the rest of the guys as they left. My mind was buzzing and I was wondering how my night with Steve-O would go.
