Sam and Colby: The House

2

All of our careers had sort of skyrocketed. Devyn had partnered with Sephora and released her own false eyelash line called Lundy's Lashes. Kat's music was doing really well. She'd actually won a Grammy for best pop album last year for her Under My Skin album, which Griffin produced. Tara got inspired by Devyn's business initiative and started her own platform shoe company with Xepher on top of continuing her channel, which was at 1 million subs.

Corey was making money from Tiktok now, posting dancing videos with Tavan, Chazz, and Joey. He still posted to YouTube every now and then as well. Jake's YouTube channel hit 1.5 million the other day, and the fish prank was his celebration video.

Sam's 3am challenge videos on his personal were still going strong. He'd landed a sponsorship with Yankee Candle because he used so many damn candles in his weird rituals. He was at 3 million subscribers.

Sam and Colby's channel had flourished more than anyone else's, though. We'd posted The Asylum full movie four months ago. It was a four episode series that we'd released over the course of a month. From those videos alone, Sam and Colby gained 4 million subscribers. They were now almost at 10 million, still getting thousands more every day.

I'd also started a vlogging channel and kept my position as a social media ambassador at Chanel. I had about 500k subscribers since I'd only started a few months ago, but that significant amount was thanks to my being in Sam and Colby's most successful series and being the face of Chanel No. 5 for two months until they moved on to Kate Moss. My Instagram had a lot more followers than my YouTube though, at a crazy 14 million, higher than anyone else in the group. Chanel's payment contract hadn't changed, so for every Instagram post that had one of their products I was getting hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Reggie and Kevin's channels had also blown up. They were both at about 700k subscribers. Mike, Aryia, and Aaron recently released a collab album together that had been number one on Spotify's charts for almost three weeks straight now, Kat's album at number two since it'd been released much earlier than theirs. Griffin was producing music for quite a few people, Elton was still travelling the world with different people for TFIL, Brennen was still posting life hack videos, and Cassie had been casted to voice a new character in an upcoming SpongeBob movie, which we were all incredibly jealous of.

Colby was still doing random stuff for his channel, different funny and crazy video ideas. He'd hit 3.5 million subs the same day Jake had hit 1.5mil. For Colby's celebration video, we'd finally filmed an official 'Meet My Girlfriend' video that he'd be uploading tonight since it was Friday.

Sam, Kat, Corey, Devyn, Jake, Tara, Colby, and I all lived in the new Traphouse. Since #traphousereturns trended so much after the announcement of a new house, we'd decided to call it the Traphouse as well. This one was way bigger than the last one. It had 5 bedrooms and a bunch of other extra rooms like a bar and a gym and a movie room. It was a legitimate full on mansion, but there were eight people living in it.

Dev and I made our way back out to the FedEx driver to see a bunch of boxes stacked into the entryway.

"This is the last one," Corey said, setting down a box onto the top of a stack.

"I apologize about the fish, and I am not his mother. Here's this, I am so sorry," I said. I handed him the five 20 dollar bills and he stared down at it.

"Jesus, it wasn't that big of a deal," the guy said.

"Shut up and take it. Leave while you can," said Jake.

"Dude, you're such a dick!" Sam said.

"No, he's right. Leave while you can," Corey said.

"Alright, will do. Have a nice day, I guess," the man said awkwardly before walking back to his truck. Dev closed and locked the door behind him.

"We're terrible humans," she sighed.

"What'd you buy this time, Jake? Why are there 20 large boxes in our house?" I asked. Jake made more money than he knew what to do with now, so at least once a week he would buy something completely unnecessary. I do have to say though, it was usually something pretty cool or fun.

"Please tell me you didn't go through with your garden gnome army idea," Corey said.

"Oh my god, your what?" asked Sam.

"No, no. I didn't order anything. Okay, well, I did. Two things. Except one of them won't be coming in a box and the other isn't getting here until Monday," said Jake. I looked down at one of the boxes.

"Oh, these are from Fanjoy. Wait, is your new merch line finally here?" I asked excitedly. I'd helped Jake design it and been the inspiration for it.

"Sick! I bet it is! Yes! TARA! COLBY! KAT!" Jake screamed.

"What? I'm giving Kiwi a bath!" Kat called from upstairs.

"Just pour some shampoo in the water and let her soak for a minute!" Jake called.

"You are never allowed to get a pet, Jake," Tara said, making her way down the spiral staircase.

"I have ET and Lionel. I'm all set," said Jake. Kat came down next, towel drying Kiwi in her arms.

"COLBERT!" Jake yelled.

"He's probably asleep or listening to music. I'll go get him," I said.
