"Hey, are you guys coming?" Sophia asked as Joey and Lexi pulled away from the hug "Yeah, we're coming" Joey said as he grabbed Lexi's hand and walked out the bathroom as the group stared at them. "Yeah we're dating, you gotta problem?" Joey said as Lexi smiled "Congrats Bestie!!" Sophia said excited as she hugged Lexi. They pulled away from the hug and that's when everyone noticed her scar "Lex? What happened?" Lilia asked as Lexi looked at Joey and he nodded "I was in a car accident when I was younger with my dad, and I've had this scar ever since" Lexi explained to them. Everyone had a look of shock on their face which kinda worried Lexi until they smiled "You know how cool that makes you look!!" Emily said as she smiled and hugged her, Lexi smiled as she hugged her back, they pulled away. "Alright let's head to the pool" Charles said as they all walked out as Joey looked at Lexi "told you, your beautiful the way you are" Joey whispered to Lexi causing her to smile and hold Joey's hand, they walked out back and stood by the pool. "Let's jump in together!!" Sophia said smiling while jumping up and down "You know how childish you sound right now?" Lexi asked chuckling "Tell me something I don't know" Sophia laughed as she held Charles hand, then with the other hand Sophia held Lexi's hand, Lexi held Joey's hand, Joey held emily's hand, and then Emily held Lilia's hand. "1..." Sophia said "2...." Lexi said "3..." They all shouted as they all jumped into the pool together causing a huge splash. They came back up to the surface and laughed, "that was so fun" Charles said as everyone agreed, Joey swam over to Lexi as she looked at him smiling "I love you" Lexi said wrapping her arms around Joey's neck "I love you too" Joey said as he smiled wrapping his arms around Lexi's waist. They all swam for a while until it got late, they all headed inside, they took a shower, got dressed, then went to their rooms. The girls were in Sophia's room and Charles was in Joey's room, Charles made a place on the floor and laid down there, Joey laid down in his bed, Sophia slept in her bed as Lilia and Emily made a place on the floor to share "Alright Lexi, You get to share with me" Sophia smiled as Lexi looked at her "It's fine, I'll sleep on the floor" Lexi said as Sophia looked at her "Nuh uh gurl!!" Sophia said causing Lexi to chuckle "Okay fine" Lexi said as she got on the other side by the wall. Everyone ended up falling asleep until Lexi woke up, she snuck out of bed and went to the back porch, she saw Joey there already "everything okay?" Lexi asked as Joey looked over at her "Yeah I'm good, I do this every night" Joey said as he smiled a bit "Mind if I join you? I can't really sleep" Lexi said as Joey nodded. Lexi sat on the bench with him that was on his porch and Joey out his arm around her, they talked throughout the night until Joey checked his phone "It's 3:00, we should start heading to bed" Joey said as Lexi looked up at him and sighed "Your right" Lexi said getting up as Lexi got up then helped Joey up. Lexi and Joey held hands going back inside, Lexi and Joey gave each other a quick kiss, Lexi and Joey walked upstairs until they got to the outside of Sophia's room "Alright, Love you" Lexi smiled hugging him "Love you" Joey smiled hugging back, they pulled away and Lexi walked inside Sophia's room closing the door as Joey did the same thing, Lexi turned around and saw Sophia wasn't in bed, Lexi sighed and walked over to the bed, Lexi laid down and covered up, after a few minutes Sophia walked back in the room, Sophia walked to the bed and laid down next to Lexi again "Where were you?" Sophia whispered as Lexi looked over at her "Oh I went to go get fresh air out on the back porch and Joey was already out there" Lexi whispered as Sophia looked at her "Yeah I was about to say, Joey goes out there every night, so did you guys cuddle" Sophia smiled as she turned her full body towards Lexi "Yeah we cuddled for like an hour" Lexi smiled as Sophia smiled "I'm so glad, even though I met you a few days ago, you are officially my best friend, and now if you and Joey stay together then we will be sisters!!" Sophia whispered excitedly "Yay! Hopefully me and Joey do stay together" Lexi whispered as Sophia smiled "I know ya'll will" Sophia smiled "We should get some rest, goodnight" Sophia smiled as she turned around the other way and closed her eyes, "Night!" Lexi said as she turned around towards the wall and fell asleep.
