next day

foul language included

They all woke up around the same time, 10am. A couple of the boys friends were coming down to Los Angeles. They were going to be staying at a hotel close to Jackson, Payton, Alex, and Anna's Airbnb. But, their plane won't land till 12 o'clock. Leaving two hours open for the four. They just ate breakfast and decided to just wait until Chase, Chase H, Griffin, Anthony, Jaden, and Dylan (he was flying back out.)

*12 o'clock

Jackson and Anna went to go get the six friends at the airport. Payton and Alex stayed at the house to just clean up the place. Since it wasn't that clean, no one really keeping up with where they left their trash. Although it has messed around, it wasn't too dirty.
After Jackson and Anna got the boys from the airport and drove back to the house. They were just going to leave their bags in car, deciding on waiting to go to the hotel until late at night.
"AY PAYPAY WHERE YOU AT!" Was heard yelled across the house.
Payton came walking out of the kitchen, Alex soon to be following. As soon as Payton was in close proximity to the boys, he did the 'bro' hug and handsome with them all.
"And might this be Alex?" Chase H said.
Payton talked a lot about Alex to him. Always just in amazement at how she would do this or do that. Or how she looked when she saw her favorite things. Or how her hair would flow in the hair when a burst of wind would come by. Or just simply how she got excited over the smallest things.
"Hey." Alex replied sheepishly, grabbing Payton's arm a little.
This just made Payton awe at her even more. Any and everyone in the room could just feel his love radiating off of him.
Each boy one by one gave Alex a hug, stating their name just so she knows who is who.

"Where's Cynthia?" Payton asked Chase H.
Cynthia was his beautiful girlfriend.
"She's flying out in two days, she couldn't make it anytime sooner." Chase's eyes lit up at the thought of her.
They were all now in the living room. Just on their phones and occasionally talking. But, they soon got bored of that, so they decided on going to The Grove.

Once they got to the Grove they just walked around, goofing off. Since they all make tiktoks, expect Alex and Anna, that's what they did. They went up to random people 'interviewing' them. Or they would go into stores, trying on a piece of jewelry or shoes and acting as though they are going to leave without buying the item, it still being on their bodies. Just wanting to see how the employees would act. They only planned on spending about an hour or two their. But, by the time they were going to leaving for dinner it was already 6 o'clock. They got to The Grove at 1 o'clock.

*at dinner

They ended up going to Osteria Mozza on Melrose. It was an Italian restaurant. It did take some time for them to be seated but, the food was definitely worth the wait. They were sitting in the order of Chase, Jackson, Anna, Alex, and Payton all on one side. Griffin was across from Chase, Anthony was across from Jackson, Dylan was across from Anna, Jaden was across from Alex, and Chase H was across from Payton.
They all order their food, and while waiting for it some of them went onto their tiktok account to post the videos they made earlier.
The food had arrived to their table about 20-25 minutes after ordering. They all dived into their food, immediately melting at how good it was. Everyone just went into separate conversations. Two to three each. Alex's phone, so was Jackson, Payton, and Anna's phones but, they all turned their phones on do not disturb, kept buzzing in her pocket. Finally after some time of it going off, she decided to check.

Was plastered over her lock screen. The notifications were non stop. Unlocking her phone, going to Instagram and clicking on her tagged photos. They were all photos from Payton's video of them, Jackson and Payton, switching girlfriends for a day. Clicking on one post, the captioning reading,
"but like, doesn't Payton and Anna act more like a couple then Payton and Alex. Not gonna lie, they would look cuter."
The photo to the caption was of Anna kissing Payton's cheek. It was a screenshot from the post they made when the video went up. Clicking on more and more posts.
"Kinda ship Pay and Anna better."
"Really thought Payton and Anna were the ones dating."
"Alex and Payton aren't cute at all."
The comments were getting ruder and ruder. Getting to the point of people saying that Alex should just go home and that she wasn't wanted. That she is weighing the group down.
Alex had enough of it, and just turned her notifications off and powered her phone off.
But, the entire night the comments were floating in her head. Just eating at her head. Whenever someone would say something to her she would act as if she was fine. She did that the entire night.

*8 o'clock

They finally all went back home, Chase, Anthony, Griffin, Jaden, Chase H, and Dylan all went to their hotel and got rooms. As soon as Anna got to Jackson and her room she immediately ran to the bed and passed out. Jackson just laughed at her and get into comfortable clothes. Then getting in bed and falling asleep.
While Payton and Alex were still awake. Payton was half asleep and Alex was fully up. The comments still getting to her. She ended up turning her phone back on later in the night. She was tossing and turning, just trying to get comfortable and get the thoughts out of her head. Payton fell asleep around 10 minutes ago but, from all the commotion he woke up.
"Babe what's wrong?" Payton asked while grabbing Alex and pulling her to him.
Holding her in his arms. Alex didn't reply, she just held on to him tightly and put her head in the crook of his neck. After about 5 minutes of no reply, he heard crying. Alex couldn't hold the tears anymore and just broke. Payton didn't know what to do she he just held onto her tighter. Running a hand through her hair to try and calm her down. Whispering,
"hey hey hey hey shhhh shhh, it's okay baby." Over and over again.
Finally after another 10 minutes she calmed down a little. Enough to talk to him about what happened. She explained and showed him the posts and stories.
He grabbed her face and made her look him in the eyes,
"Alex, baby, don't believe them. Who gives a shit about their opinion. They aren't us. Who cares if they think I look better with Anna. I don't have feelings for her. I have them for you. They are strong to. So don't doubt for one second that I'll leave you for her. I love you way too much," he leaned in and kissed her forehead. Alex's tears were soaking the bed by this point.
"And for those who are hating you. You are fucking gorgeous. God made a perfect human being, and I am so lucky to call her mine. Never doubt your self worth. Baby, I love you endlessly." Payton finished saying, taking his hands from her face and pulling her closer.
If that was possible. They just payed their cuddling. Alex whispered, I love you, before falling asleep.
