I walked up to my room and looked around for something to paint. Sometimes i liked to paint sweatshirts or objects. I went through my closet and found a hoodie that just said "brockhampton" on the front.
I made my way to the studio in the back and looked at it to see what I was gonna do. I decided I was just going to let my creative juices flow and see where it went.

Five hours later and this is what I had in my hands:

I had this painted on the back of a brockhampton hoodie. I hung it to dry and checked my phone. It was 1:30 and I had a missed call from Madison.
She texted me that she was on her way, so I rushed upstairs and changed into a pair of jeans, air force ones, and a cropped sweater I made a while back.

"So talk to me what's up!?" Madison asked after we ordered.
"I mean nothing really, came out here from texas. Uhhhh taking a lil artistic break just to get settled."
"How's living with the boys? I'm sure it's a hassle."
"Eh kinda. I love all of them though so we're chilling."
"Oooo and hows Tyler?"
"We're on kinda a break. Just so I can kinda get my life together. It should be over soon. He's supposed to come out I think next Sunday. He said he would try to book an earlier flight but you know how that goes." I explained with a chuckle.
We got our food and talked for what felt like ten minutes, but in reality was like 2 hours.
Eventually we decided to leave and I explained that I needed to go home to finish the Hoodie so I could send it to Brandon to post on my auction website.
We laughed and listened to music on the way back to my house and she invited me to a party later that night. I told her I would let her know and then closed the car door and jogged to the front door.
Right after I closed the door behind me I felt a glare on me. I slowly turned to find hk holding up the hoodie I had made earlier that day, along with the rest of the guys around him. "What's up guys?" I suspiciously questioned.
"Laila. I- this is amazing." hk said with a wide mouth.
"Aww thank you. You're too nice." I fake flaunted.
"We need to do some sort of collaboration or something." Ian said pointing at hoodie.
"Ooo that would be fun." I responded.
"Oh and you should help us merch design."
"Oooooo that sounds like a Job.... I don't do jobs." I said trying to get the hoodie out of hk's hand.
"Not like a Job for-say, kinda like a 'you're more than welcome to make merch designs whenever you want. Like even if it's a sketch, we can bring it to life"
"Sounds fun, I will definitely take you up on that offer. Now gimme I gotta take that to my manager after I sign it for auction." I said with grabby hands.
He handed me the hoodie back and I made my way to the studio so I could sign the art on the back.
I got a white paint marker and added some final touches and signed it. Then I set it with a spray you're supposed to use with fabric so if you wash it it doesn't fade.
My phone started to buzz in my back pocket and I was 99.9% positive it was Brandon.
annnnnddd I was right
"BRANDOOOOOO i got some art for youuuuuuuu. I'm gonna come by and drop it off maybeeee in 30 minutes?"
"Yeah that's fine. How do you feel about doing a last minute interview in like an hour?"
"AN HOUR?!?!"
"Chill it's just for viceland it's a very laid back thing. They want to have at a weed coffee shop place. You down?"
"Yeah then I'll just give it to you there since I'm sure you're gonna be there."
"Sounds like a plan, I'll pick you up in 20? Also wear something comfy, like a hoodie and leggings. But look presentable please."
"Alwayyyyss Brandon. Wait! Why can't I drive again."
"A responsible manager would never let you drive as high as your about to get."
"Fine Brandonnnnn. Call me when your here and bring a case for the hoodie. I do not want it getting damaged."
"Yes ma'am. See you in a bit sunshine."
~
"ILL BE BACK LATER. GOING TO AN INTERVIEW. LOVE YALL."
"LOVE YOU." The boys yelled back. Aw they're too cute.
Brandon got out of the car and hugged me since I haven't seen him in a while.
"What's up Brando, I missed you."
"Nothing much just doing my thang. Here hand me that." He said while opening the trunk of his car.
I handed him the hoodie, he folded it then laid it in a briefcase.
"Perfecto." I said patting him on the back.
"Let's go kid."
~
"Alright. Uhhhh don't say anything that would potentially ruin your career. Blah blah blah. You already know all of this. So basically they're gonna have a bunch of different bongs around you since they're considered art in the weed industry. There also gonna have tons of different strains. I told them not a lot of sativa's because they make your back hurt. They're basically just gonna talk to you about your art and maybe a few questions about your brother and his band. Sound good."
"Yes sirrrr lets do this thing." I said while clapping my hands.
My door was opened and I got out of the car and smiled a bit for the paparazzis. I decided to promo the guys a bit so I was wearing a ginger hoodie. I shot a huge smile and pointed to the 'GINGER' logo on the front of my hoodie.
Brandon led me inside of the coffee/weed shop place and I was instantly greeted by the producer of Viceland.
