Once In a Lifetime

Chapter 4

~your perspective~

     I wake up to Sam yelling "GOD DAMMIT, COLBY. PUTTING MAKEUP ON ME IS NOT OK. IS THIS EVEN GONNA COME OFF IN TIME OF MY MEETING. I HAVE THAT IN 15 MINUETS. GOD DANGIT."
I here Colby burst out laughing.
"Well Jax, guess it's time to get up." I say pulling off more covers than what I put on.
I saw a text on my phone that read "I put your phone on silent so it wouldn't wake u when u got this. U looked cold so I put my blankets on ur bed. Love u. Gnight 😘" I was filled with happiness.
Sam chased Colby down stairs and I followed them down. I filled Jax's food bowl.
"You look beautiful, Sam. Almost as beautiful as Colby was with pink hair." Elton says walking into the kitchen where Sam surprisingly had Colby in a headlock.
"Hey. We don't bring that up." Colby said getting out of his headlock.
I laugh at Colby's red face that matches his red ringed neck. I let Jax out in the back yard.
"Hey, _____. Come here." Elton said scrolling through comments of his most recent video.
"Yeah?" I said just looking at normal comments. I didn't see anything wrong or different.
"Look. Over half of these are comments about you and Colby. They all...well almost all support you."
"Aw. You have great fans."
"You're not mad about those who don't support you guys?"
"Nah. Not everyone likes everyone. If it were true, our world would be almost perfect."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"As usual." I say under my breath walking away.
"What, _____?"
"Oh nothing. I swear."
"Suuure." Elton says closing his computer.
"ATTACK. YOU VICIOUS ATTACK DOG. GOOD JOB BUDDY." Aaron screams in a weird accent.
"Sounds like Corey and Aaron are doing a skit. Specifically a Dan and Phil." I say to Colby sitting down next to him in the game room.
"Yeah. Rocket League?"
"Sure. But I don't know how to play."
"Not a problem." Colby hands me a controller.
"Ok. Tutorial?" I asked giving him the saddest look I could.
"Ok. Ok. You look so pitiful like that."
"He he he."
~5 minutes later~
"Y'all make thi— ok now you're just giving me pitty points, Colby."
"Well, ya gotta get on the leader board. Maybe you'll become good enough and maybe, just maybe, beat Corey." Colby says ending the game.
"I guess we can start the actual game?" I said not too confidently.
"You'll do fine, babe. It's not a life or death situation." Colby says making blush when he says "babe".
"Here, sometimes it feels like it is." I say laying my head oh his shoulder.
~30 minutes later~
"Aww look em. They're adorable." Corey to Elton.
I realized I fell asleep. I don't remember though. I didn't open my eyes because I didn't want to get embarrassed nor do I feel like making it awkward for everyone. I feel Colby move his arm.
"*corey laughs. A lot.* that's not very nice, Colby."
"Yeah, f––– you too." Elton says walking away.
"Did you just flip them off?" I asked trying not to laugh.
"They woke me up. And you." Colby says getting up to turn the tv off.
"Fair enough." I say pulling my hair up into a messy bun.
I walk outside and into the grass. I lie down and start reading. I hear someone trying to walk carefully over to me. Notice trying.
"Don't even try." I say looking over my book.
"Aw common." Sam sadly puts down a bucket of orbeez. "Both Kat and Devyn left. There's no one here to prank. I don't want to prank Colby or Corey quite yet. I mean I could prank Elton..."
"If you wanna get killed." I say getting up. "Maybe I shouldn't be alone while there are others in the house."
"Good thought." Sam says walking away.
I carefully put my book down, pick up the bucket, and dump it on Sam before he's able to get passed the pool.
"HEY. WHAT THE F–––." Sam says almost tackling me.
I burst into tears laughing.
I run inside before Sam can get inside and lock the door.
"AW COME ON." Sam yell throwing his hands up.
Jax and Navi come running down the stairs followed by Aaron and Corey dressed in banana costumes.
"That's for a video. Right?" I say questioning their mental stability.
"Suuuuure?" Corey says letting his voice trail off.
"Hey what's with all the orbeez and Sam outside with the door locked?" Aaron asked taking off his costume.
"He tried to dump them on me. I dumped them on him. And locked him out."
"*Corey and Aaron laugh*"
"You mess with me, I mess with you." I say creepily.
"You got that right." Aaron says having flashbacks to my first prank.
"Yeah I think I'm still deaf in one ear." Corey says rubbing his ear.
I walk away to only find my dog and Sam and Elton gone.
"I swear if they turn him purple..." I say turning around only to find Corey giving Elton, who's in the car, "green dog hair dye".
"God dammit, Sam. You're never gonna remember this. Forever."
~2 hours later~
"So, _____. What do think about Jax?" Sam says shoving a camera in my face.
"You will pay for this. My dog looks like he's wearing camouflage." I say angrily walking upstairs.
Luckily I was able to get Elton to give me the left over dye. I grab Sam's shampoo and dump the rest in. Forty-five minutes later I hear Sam yell "WHAT. DID. YOU. DO. _____"
"I told you, you would pay." I say watching Sam walk down the stairs.
"Look what your girlfriend did to my f–––ing hair, Colby."
"You look great, Sam." Colby says while laughing.
I comment wit a straight face "you can match my dog now. Merry Christmas, b–itch."
"It's only December 1st." Sam says.
"CHRISTMAS IS EVERY DAY." I hear Corey shout from his room.
Devyn and Kat walk in.
"What the hell happened to your hair, Sam?!" Devyn laughs.
"Shut up. _____ put it in my shampoo."
"AND JAX. WHAT DID YOU DO." Kat says to me.
"That would be Sam. And Elton. They dyed Jax like Circa was. I told him he would pay. Aaand he did." I say pointing to his hair.
"Y'all are already dragging her into this crap?" Devyn asked.
"Well why not." Sam says.
I look over and find Colby asleep on the couch. Again.
"God dangit, Colby. I told you we shouldn't have stayed till 2:00 in the morning at the abandoned tunnel in San Francisco." Sam says walking up stairs to his room.
Everyone leaves to go do their thing. I sit down next to Colby and fall asleep on him.
