Lynn: So this barista spelled my name wrong again, I even spelled it out to him and everything.
Her brother nodded in response, still eating his food
Lynn: Like how is it so hard?  First of all my name is 4 letters long and I spelled it out for him, literally!
Heath: Mhm.
Lynn: Are you even listening to me?
He kept his eyes down at his phone.
Lynn: Heath!
He looked up at her.
Heath: Yes baby girl I'm listening, Starbucks spelled your name wrong. They probably wouldn't do that if you used the other name-
Lynn: Ew, please don't call me that.
Heath: Baby your name is cute, Kaia-Lynn, so unique I wish I had that type of name!
He took a sip of his iced coffee, she rolled her eyes.
Lynn: For a straight guy you're really gay.
He looked mock offended.
Heath: Excuse me?!
Lynn: As a member of the LGBT community I grant myself permission to say these things.
Heath: Bis don't count.
Lynn: You don't count!
???: What's all the yelling about?
Lynn looked up to see a fairly attractive man walking towards the table, she looked down at her food quickly as the man sat at their table.
Heath: Zane baby!  This is my baby sister Kai-
She hit her brother in the arm.
Lynn: My name is Lynn, please don't call me Kaia.
Zane: That's a beautiful name!
He sounded just as flamboyant as Heath, Lynn tried her best to hold back a laugh.
Zane: But I'll call you Lynn, don't need you smacking up this gorgeous face.
He moved his hand around his face in a glam dramatic manner, Lynn finally let out a little laugh.
Heath: Lynni, this is my roommate Zane, just thought he could meet us here for coffee to get to know ya.
Zane: You both don't look alike at all.
Heath: I know, I'm the pretty one.
Lynn: Excuse me?  I got the perky ass and the flawlessness, baby!
She stood up out of her seat and grabbed her ice coffee.
Lynn: Bitch you wish you was the pretty one, I'm the pretty one bitch.
Heath and Zane started laughing as she started to take off her sweater to show off her body, doing small poses and complementing herself.
Zane: I take it back, I see it all now.
She sat back down and took a sip of her iced coffee.
Lynn: I tried to be normal, doesn't work, sorry Zane.
Zane: Baby normal is boring.
She smiled and looked down.
Zane: Wait, does David know your sister's in town?
Heath: No, he better not find out either.
Lynn: Why?
Zane: Baby do you not watch YouTube?
Lynn: I do, but mostly gaming videos.
Zane: Oh you're that type.
Heath: No, she barely watches it, she puts on Jacksepticeye for background noise.
Zane: You don't even watch it?
She laughed.
Lynn: I just like hearing people talk sometimes, I'm lonely as fuck back home.
Heath: That's what you get for living somewhere in Nevada.
She rolled her eyes.
Lynn: For the millionth time Heath, I live in Somewhere, Nevada, not somewhere in Nevada.
Zane: Wait, there's a town in Nevada called Somewhere?
He pulled out his phone and checked Google, Lynn sighed and put her iced coffee down on the table.
Lynn: Yes, it's technically a paper town.
Zane put his phone down in confusion.
Zane: What? 
Lynn: Okay, so.
She adjusted in her seat.
Lynn: A paper town is a fake town put on a map to avoid copyrights from other map companies.  So Somewhere has a bunch of different names but the people who live in the town call it somewhere.
Heath leaned over on the table, resting his chin in his hand mockingly.
Heath: And why do they call it that, Lynn?
She rolled her eyes.
Lynn: Because it's Somewhere in Nevada.
Heath banged his hands on the table.
Heath: BOOM!  You fucking said it!
Suddenly, someone jumped by their table, screaming in a monstrous voice, they all jumped and screamed.
Heath: David what the fuck?!  How the hell did you know we were here?!
She looked at the guy dressed in all black, he looked around her age and honestly very very goofy.
David: Scotty told me.
Heath: God damnit that means Toddy knows!
Lynn: Why does it matter who knows?
Zane moved his hand over hers, she tried to hide her blush as he held her hand in both of his consolingly.
Zane: Oh baby it means your visit is either gonna be lit as fuck, or complete hell.
David: Challenge accepted.
-------------------------------------------------------
David decided to get the entire vlog squad over to the house to meet Heath's sister.  Lynn was nervous to meet all the people, sure she was outgoing and very friendly but she was also somewhat of an introvert.  She doesn't actually have any friends other than her brother who lives in LA, so her social skills are very rusty. 
David opened the door and in came an older blonde gentlemen and a blonde woman that Lynn actually recognized.
Lynn: Oh, no fucking way.
The blonde woman looked at Lynn confused.
Lynn: Are... Are you Trisha Paytas?
The woman smiled and twirled her hair.
Lynn: Heath you're friends with Trisha Paytas and you didn't tell me?!
Heath: Girl you live under a rock in butt fuck nowhere how am I supposed to know what YouTubers you like?
Lynn got tapped on the shoulder, she turned around and it was Trisha.  Lynn looked so estatic that she almost cried.
Lynn: Hi!  Can I hug you?
Trisha laughed and opened her arms, Lynn moved into the woman's arms slowly, hugging her tightly and savoring the moment.
Lynn: Oh my God I'm hugging Trisha Paytas.
???: Wow she's a huge fan of you Trish, David must feel so bad knowing that Heath's sister knows you but not him.
Trisha: Yessss!!! Take that David Dobrik.
Trisha let go of the brown haired girl, who looked like she was about to do backflips.
Lynn: Oh, shit right intros, I'm Lynn by the way.
Trisha: Nice to meet you Lynn!  We didn't even know Heath had a sister.
Heath: I mention her all the time!  I miss the hell out of her and I wish I could move her here.
Lynn put her hand on her chest.
Lynn: Awe Heath!
Heath: Only problem is that she'll annoy the fuck outta me.
Lynn: Fuck you too big bro.
She blew him a kiss, which he caught and threw behind him like trash.  They had a special sibling bond that made it seem like they hate each other, but in reality they were best friends.
Trisha: Lynn, this is my boyfriend Jason, remember he's mine.
She looked at her boyfriend protectively, Lynn smiled and held Trisha's hand dramatically.
Lynn: I'd never hurt you my Queen.
She bowed dramatically.
Trisha: Yep, definitely Heath's sister.
Jason: So wait, you're Heath's sister and you don't even watch his videos?
Lynn: Mama told me not to, said he does some questionable shit and I also really didn't care.
Trisha: I like you!  You got a little attitude on you.
Lynn felt around her body.
Lynn: Where?
She looked around, Trisha laughed.
Lynn: Swoon.
David: Wait, excuse me, did you just say swoon?
Lynn: What?
David: Heath your sister is a weeb!
Lynn: Heath your friend is an idiot!
Everyone laughed, Lynn was pretty good in social situations.  She used comedy to win over the room, but she hopes at some point soon she can just fade into the background.
After a bunch of introductions, she found herself sitting next to Zane.  She sighed with exhaustion.
Zane: You okay there?
Lynn: Yeah, just a lot of people, not used to it.
Zane: You did great.
She smiled and looked at him.
Lynn: Thanks, I think I did a pretty good job too.
Zane: Well, I hope you're not too tired cause the nights not over yet.  We're going to a party tonight and you're coming with us.
Lynn: I'm not too into parties.
Zane: You've never partied with us baby, it's gonna be the time of your life, you might even get laid.  I mean... If you don't have a man, or a woman, not assuming.
She laughed.
Lynn: I'm bi, but no I'm not with anyone or seeing anyone.  I don't really have anyone to talk to back home, lived there for years, everyone knows me by now but no one actually tried to be my friend.
Zane: Honey, you should think about moving to LA, you got friends here.
She looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes, Zane tried to hide the doofey smile forming on his face.
Lynn: I... You guys are befriending me?
Zane laughed.
Zane: Of course baby, you're Heath's sister and you're fucking awesome!
She jumped on Zane, hugging him tightly, he tried hard not to let the heat rise to his cheeks.
Lynn: Baby!! I've got friends now!
She yelled over to her brother.
Heath: Baby stop you're gonna kill him!
She put more weight on Zane, making him fall sideways slightly.
David: CLICKBAIT, CLICKBAIT!
David ran over to the two with his camera, Lynn laughed.
Lynn: Oh you're THAT kind of YouTuber.
David: How is it out of your rock, Lynn?
She got off of Zane and stood in front of David.
Lynn: I can't tell, your head is so big that I can't see out of it's shadow.
The room screamed, David laughed.
David: You're in the vlog!
Heath: YASSS BABY!
Lynn: Is that an honor or something?
Jason: He's our boss, so ya.
Lynn: Oh, cool, then YAY!!!
She jumped up and down like a child, David laughed.
The doorbell rang, David answered it.  In came three people; a short girl with curly hair, a taller woman with short blonde and brown hair, and a tall white guy with pink hair.
Heath: No no no, Dom can't be here!
David: Why?
Dom: Hey who's the new girl?
Heath: That's why!
Heath ran in front of Lynn like a body guard.
Heath: Nuh uh, not this one Dom.
David moved his camera to look at Dom, David was so happy that he was filming.
Dom: That your girl, Heath?
Heath: No, this is my sister.  You can have every other girl in LA, but not this one, you understand?
Dom laughed and threw his arms up.
Dom: I'll try to keep my hands to myself but the ladies can't resist me.
Lynn: Ew.
She covered her mouth from her involuntary choice of words, the room laughed.
???: I like her already.
Heath took Lynn's hand protectively and guarded her left side.
Heath: Shoo, shoo Dom.
He used his hand to shoo away Dom, who went to go sit on the couch with his friends.
He brought Lynn up to the two women.
Heath: So, this is Lynn, my baby sister.
???: Helloooo there!
The short girl said in a weird voice that made Lynn laugh.
???: Lynni, this is Liza, David's girlfriend.
Lynn put her hands on her chest and looked almost sad.
Lynn: Oh my God I'm so sorry... That must be awful.
Liza laughed as Lynn pulled her into a hug.
Lynn: There there young one, the mean evil man is gone.  Tap twice if he's blackmailing you.
David: I am not!
The girls laughed as Lynn pulled away from Liza.
???: Heath, I love her.
Heath: And this is Gabbie, or the Gabbie show as she's known on YouTube.
Lynn: Wait, you did some videos with Shane Dawson right?
Gabbie: Yeah I did a while ago!
Heath: Wait wait wait, hol' the hell up.
Lynn looked at her brother.
Heath: You watch Shane Dawson AND Trisha Paytas, but not me?!  My own flesh and blood!  I've been telling you for months now to look at my videos!
Liza: Savage.
David: SIBLING BETRAYAL!
Lynn: I'm sorry baby, I'll watch your videos I swear!
Gabbie: Oh my God, even Heath's family call each other baby.
Lynn: Nah, just us and our mom, our brother doesn't do that shit.
Liza: You have a brother?
Heath: Yeah, he's busy a lot tho.
Gabbie: Awe, that sucks.
They both shrugged.
Liza: SIBLING COORDINATION!
The siblings laughed.
Liza: Gabbie they did it again!!
Liza grabbed onto Gabbie's arm dramatically in fear.
Liza: They're gonna take over the world!!! Run!!!
Liza and Gabbie ran to another part of the room with David following, leaving Heath and Lynn alone.
Heath: So baby sister, we're going to a party soon.
Lynn: Zane made me aware.
Heath: I have some rules for you.
Lynn: Heath, I'm 22, you're really gonna parent me?
Heath: Yes I am, for your own good and safety.  Besides, mom would kick my ass if anything bad happened to you, and these guys document EVERYTHING.
Lynn crossed her arms and sighed.
Lynn: Shoot, and I'll tell you if I'll follow them.
Heath: First off, please for the love of God, don't kiss or fuck Dom.
Lynn: Ew.
Again, involuntary.  Heath smiled and tussled her hair.
Heath: Yeah that's my baby sister.
She moved his hand off her head.
Lynn: Next?
Heath: Don't get too drunk, David will have you in the palm of his hands doing stupid shit you'll regret.
Lynn: But... He looks so innocent.
Heath grabbed her shoulders with a serious look in his eyes.
Heath: He uses that to his advantage Lynn, he's the devil with a camera.
Lynn had to laugh, Heath even broke into a smile as he let go of her shoulders.
Heath: Nothing harder than alcohol, ciggies, and weed, got it, and make sure you keep an eye on your shit.
Lynn: Already planned on all of that bro, speaking of which.
She reached into her pocket.
Lynn: I did miss my smoke buddy.
Heath rolled his eyes.
Heath: You told me you quit.
Lynn: I didn't lie, life is just stressful at the moment.
Heath opened the door for his sister to walk out.  They sat on the steps of the house and lit their cigarettes.
Heath: You wanna tell me what's going on?
Lynn: I've been lonely lately.  Like not relationship lonely but like... I have no friends back home and every time you tell me to move to LA here with you I always want to but I can't afford anything else.  I'm already struggling with what I have and if you didn't pay for this ticket I wouldn't even be here.
He patted her back gently.
Heath: Honey, you know you can always ask me for help.
Lynn: Yeah, and you know how I am about asking for help.
Heath: Tell you what, if you quit your job and move to LA, I'll support you and let you crash on my couch until you can afford something here.  I'll help you every step of the way.
Lynn looked down at her cigarette, feeling a million tugs at her heart strings.
Lynn: You know I can't ask you to do that bubba.
Heath: You're not asking me, I'm asking you.
She took a pull of her cigarette and looked at him.
Heath: You'll be closer to me which makes me happy, and you'll be with your new friends which will make you happy.  You can start over fresh.
She started tearing up, she didn't know what to say.  In the family, Heath was always more of the risk taker.  Lynn liked to play things a little safer, she liked to feel comfortable.
Lynn: I don't know Heath, I don't want to fall on my face again.  I took a risk moving to the place I've always wanted to live and I'm miserable.  This is too good to be true, what if it turns out wrong like everything else?
He flicked his cigarette away and wrapped her in a hug.  She flicked her cigarette away as well and hugged him back. 
Heath: We both know I'm too protective to let anything bad happen to you.  I got your back Kia-Lynn, you're not alone in this.
She teared up and sobbed slightly.
Lynn: God I fucking hate you Heath.
He pulled away from her and wiped her tears.
Heath: Love you too Lynni.  I'll let you think about it.
------------------------------------------------------------
In the back of David's van sat Zane and Lynn with Heath and Toddy in front of them.
Zane looked over at Lynn concerned.
Zane: Baby were you crying?
Lynn: Oh uh.
Rubbed some smudged make up from under her eye.
Lynn: Heath gave me an offer that he has to talk to you about.
Zane: Baby what she talking about?
Heath: I was gonna sweet talk you into letting Lynni move in with us.
Zane: Where would she sleep?
Heath: Couch.  She doesn't take up too much space, I've been to her house she practically lives in a shoebox.
Lynn: It's a small studio apartment!
Heath: It's a closet, Lynn! 
Zane laughed and looked at Lynn.
Zane: Let me discuss some things over with her and I'll get back to you baby.
Heath: Fine, I'm putting in my earphones, don't talk to me.
Zane smiled at her, she looked down.
Zane: I want you to know what you're signing up for, we do some crazy shit.
She squinted.
Lynn: I grew up with Heath.
Zane: Fair enough.  Are you sure you'll be okay with sleeping on the couch?  Oh I can probably order something that would be more comfortable.
Lynn: Wait, are you saying yes!
Zane: You're unhappy in Somewhere right?
Lynn looked down.
Lynn: I am unhappy, but I have a job and an apartment.  Not a big one, not a meaningful job, hell I don't even have a pet but I guess I got comfortable in my miserable life.
Zane: No way to live honey.  You're gonna live with us and every day we'll have iced coffee talks and laugh until our tummies hurt.
Lynn laughed a little and looked up at Zane.
Lynn: This is crazy...
Zane: How about this, don't decide now, decide after this awesome party.  If you love it then you stay, if you hate it then you don't have to live here, cool?
She nodded.
Lynn: Cool.
Zane: Maybe cool can be our-
She covered his mouth.
Lynn: And I'm gonna have to stop you right there.  We had a moment and now it's gone, thank you Zane.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Heath basically stayed on his little sisters arm the first half of the night, but it didn't mean that they didn't drink and smoke together.  Honestly, Lynn preferred to be with her brother, she felt safer.
Heath: Lynni, you know what you need?
They both grabbed their shot glasses and raised them.
Heath/Lynn: ANOTHER SHOOOOTTTT!!
They downed their shots and flipped the glasses over on the table.
Zane: Damn baby, where are you holding all that liquor.
Heath: Zane baby, this little bitch is a monster, she can drink me under the damn table.
Zane: No lie, kinda hot.
Heath: Baby you are NOT flirting with my baby sister.
Zane: Baby it's just a compliment!
Lynn: Are you seriously trying to cheat on my brother Zane?!
She held onto her brother's arm protectively.
Heath: I thought what we had was real!
Lynn: How could you do this Zane?!  He's pregnant with your baby!
Next thing they knew David was there with the camera.
Heath: My sister, Zane!  I thought you weren't that kind of man!!
Zane: What the hell is going on?!
Heath and Lynn laughed and sat back down in their seats comfortably.
Heath: But honestly, out of anyone in the vlog squad to date my sister I wouldn't be as mad if it was you.
Lynn: Are you trying to pimp me out to Zane?
Heath: No I'm just saying that I trust him and he's my best friend and if he wants to fuck my sister I'm not gonna punch him in the face.
Zane: Oh good, c'mon Lynn let's go.
Zane got up and grabbed Lynn's hand and pretended to pull her up.
Heath: Zane!
He sat back down laughing hysterically.
Zane: Your face was priceless.
David: Oh my God this is perfect.
David sat down next to Zane, pointing the camera as Lynn.
David: Lynn, I dare you to kiss Zane right in front of your brother.
Lynn looked at him confused, Heath looked angry.
Heath: No David, c'mon not my sister.
David: If you kiss him I... Won't release your whole name to the public.
Her eyes widened with anger.
Lynn: How the hell would you even know.
David pulled out her wallet from his pocket and handed it to her.
David: You almost forgot it in the house, Kyalynn.
She face palmed slowly, along with Heath.
David: What?
Lynn: If I kiss Zane you won't release it right?
Heath: Lynni, don't.
Lynn: It's fine, Zane's cute and it's good for me to get out of comfort zone.
Heath shrugged and sat back.
Lynn: David, turn off your camera for a sec.
David set it down but didn't turn it off.
Lynn: I'm not dumb David, turn it off.
David: Ugh fine.
He turned it off, Lynn smiled.
Lynn: As long as your not gonna release this, it's not Kyalynn, it's Kaia-Lynn, if you're gonna hurt me then hurt me.
David: Wow, that's actually a really pretty name.
Lynn pretended to get all flustered.
Lynn: Awe thank you David.
He picked up his camera.
David: Now you're part of the deal.
He turned it on and pointed it towards Lynn.
David: Now you gotta kiss Zane and Heath has to watch.
Heath: You said it has to be in front of me not that I have to watch!
David: Same thing!
Lynn huffed and got up, pulling Zane out of his seat.
Zane: You don't have to do this Lynn, David's tiny I can throw him.
She held his hand and smiled.
Lynn: I really hate my name, I would prefer if the world didn't call me it, okay?
Zane: Alright.
David: Shut up and kiss already!
Heath: Please don't Lynni.
She leaned up and placed her lips on his quickly.
David: That was nothing!
Lynn: Oh, oh that was nothing?  Okay.
She grabbed Zane's face and pulled him downward, pulling him into a rough and passionate kiss that the both of them enjoyed a little too much.  David cheered and got shots of the make out scene in front of him.  Finally they pulled away from each other quickly.
Lynn: Was that nothing David?
He turned his camera towards his friends.
David: Guys who wants to make out with Heath's sister?!
Lynn: David I will break your neck!
She jumped on David, knocking him down onto his stomach.
Heath: YAASSS THAT'S MY BABY SISTER!!
Zane stood there for a moment, he just kissed his best friends sister, who's possibly moving onto his couch, and he enjoyed it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the Uber back to Zane and Heath's apartment, Heath fell asleep next to Lynn, who was sitting in the middle of both of them.
Zane: So, did you have fun?
She looked at him and smiled.
Lynn: I had a lot of fun actually.  Partying with friends, drinking with my brother, not going home alone, it's the best time I've had in a long time.
Zane smiled and looked down, he wanted to talk about the kiss, but it didn't matter, they were drunk and it probably didn't mean a thing.
Zane: Are you gonna move in with us?
She looked at her brother, who was sleeping soundly.
Lynn: Are you okay with it Zane?
In his drunken haze, he made a very ballsy move on his part.  He slid his hand over hers, which rested on her leg, and held her hand gently.
Zane: I'm excited to have you living with us Lynn.
She took a sigh of relief.
Lynn: Oh thank God you're not calling me by my real name, most people do after they hear it.
Zane: Nah, I know you don't want that.
Lynn: Thank you Zane.
He held her hand tighter, she looked down at their hands and smiled.
Heath snored in his sleep.
Heath: Get your hand off my sister Zane.
Then he quickly went back to sleep.  Zane quickly snapped his hand away from Lynn's.
Zane: Sorry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Zane got Heath into bed with a struggle, tearing off his shoes and throwing covers over him and putting a bucket by his head.
Zane: Goodnight my drunken prince.
He left the room, closing the door behind him.  He grabbed some pillows from Heath and his own room and a blanket from the closet, bringing everything out to the living room.  Lynn was sitting on the couch flipping thru things to watch on Netflix.
Zane: I hope this stuff is okay for you.
Lynn: Yeah it's fine, thanks Zane.
He looked at her and seen she was in her PJs, black extremely short shorts with a black sleeping tank top with no bra underneath.  He blushed slightly and looked away.
Lynn: You ain't ever seen a lady before?
Zane laughed slightly and looked at her.
Zane: I'm just very drunk and you're very very pretty.
She smiled at him and stood up.
Lynn: Well I'm also pretty drunk, but I'm in my right mind. 
She moved closer to him, he froze in place.
Lynn: And you are very very handsome.
She touched his chest gently.
Lynn: But I don't put out on the first night, better luck next time baby.
She kissed him quickly on the lips, he didn't even have time to react or kiss her back.  She started to set up her sleeping arrangements, then laid down under the covers.
Lynn: We can watch something together tho.
Zane smiled and went over to her legs, lifting up the blanket and her legs, sitting in their place and setting her legs onto his lap.
Lynn: What do you wanna watch?
Zane: I dunno, I'm down for anything.
She looked at him.
Lynn: Then, my friend, I'm gonna take you on a journey.
She sat up, her legs still in his lap as she faced him.
Lynn: A story, where two men search the world for their father, following his tracks all while working in the family business.  Which is saving people, hunting things, the family fucking business.
She used her hands to add emphasis.
Lynn: Are you ready, for some monster hunting, demon ravaging fun?
Zane looked at her with a strange mixture of horrified, intrigued, and slightly turned on.
Zane: God yes.
Lynn scrolled thru Netflix until she found it, she selected the episode "Season One Episode One of Supernatural."
Lynn: Oh baby, I'm gonna get you so hooked you're gonna hate me.
Zane: We'll see.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lynn ended up falling asleep in the middle of the second episode, Zane was still awake.  He touched Lynn's leg gently and looked at her.
Zane: Lynn, you awake?
No response, he sighed and looked down.  He gently moved her legs off of him as he stood up.  She adjusted in her sleep slightly as Zane turned off the TV.
Zane: Goodnight Lynn, sweet dreams.
He kissed her on the forehead, maybe she would forget tonight.
He went to his own room and crawled into his bed.  He likes his best friends little sister, what the hell was he gonna do?
