A summer with Sway LA

chapter 3

As I laid in bed all I could think about was what bryce said ' you should actually try ' what if he was right yes I had the app but I never posted not consistently I decided that now I had no one controlling me and a long summer ahead of me with no friends, that I would put all my time and effort in to tiktok and maybe just maybe it would get me somewhere. No better time to start then now right. I opened up tiktok and scrolled on the for you page for a good hour before a idea struck me I quickly filmed it and posted it turning my phone off before i could change my mind.

I rolled over in my bed thinking about the last few months of my life and how much time I have wasted living a lie and having to deal with my toxic relationship. I was suddenly brought out of my day dream when I heard the door slam shut this meant my dad was home and that my dogs also were my dad works long shifts so he drops them off at a friends house and picks them back up on his way home. I open my door to be greeted by my two eager puppies they where one of the things I loved about being home.

Baloo

nevaeh

Nevaeh was my baby and baloo was my dads dog but i loved them just the same. After a few minutes of cuddles I climbed back into bed and nevaeh joined me with baloo going into me dads room. My dad stuck his head around my door just looking at me.

D-" it's good to have you back lexie "

L-" it's good to be back dad"

D -"night kiddo"

He blew me a kiss and pulled my door to leaving me alone with my thoughts again.

* BEEP BEEP BEEP*
ugh I roll over to turn my alarm off this meant that it was time to get up eventhough it was summer and I had nothing to do I decided that I was going to make the most of each day because you never know what could happen I drag myself out of bed and get changed into this

Grabbing nevaeh and her lead and running out the door even though she is a corgi nevaeh can run pretty fast and for a long time so today I decide that we are going to go for a long run to my favourite spot where I like to go to think.

After about 30minutes of running we finally get there and as I sit on top of a rock and look out over the beautiful lake the memories and me and my mum there come fludding back the times she would pick me up from school and we would go there so she could take pictures. My mum loved photography and everything beautiful my dad would always joke that I got her love for nature and photography and quinton got my dads love for sports.
He would constantly remind me of how much I looked like my mum and sometimes I would catch him just staring at me I dont know if that matter it harder for dad, me being a constant reminder of her every day.

........................back at lexie's house.............
I walked in the house and filled nevaeh water bowl up then grabbed an banna and ran up stairs to get in the shower after that I got ready into comfy clothes and just chilled for the rest of the day watching films and making tiktok none of which I posted I couldn't decided if this was for me of not.

(About a month later lexie is still living with her dad and has continued to post tiktoks growing her following quite a bit to 500,000 she was still in contact with bryce every so often but he was very busy)

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
Ugh another day doing nothing I looked at my phone to see that I had 5 missed calls from bryce and a text saying 'no matter what time you wake up facetime me I have news and a question for u' I decided to get changed first putting this on

I grabbed my phone and rung bryce he picked up after a few rings and he childish smirk filled the screen

B-" whats up cupcake how you feeling"
L-" I'm good whats so urgent"
B-" well you know the sawy house "
L-" obviously I do"
B-" well we are looking for a new member and I know how much you love your dad but also how he drives you mental and you have been looking for somewhere to live. I talk to the boys and to management and we have all agreed that you Lexie mae griggs could be, if you want to, the first girl to be part of sway la"

As bryce said that a smile spread appeared across his face and I didnt know what to say or think. I had just been asked by my best friend to move to la and live a life I never dreamed of having based on an app that 2 months ago I never used this is mental I dont see my self as being famous and will people think I'm using them if I say yes do fans care about me? do they even know who I am? the boys had millions of followers what if I move out there and no one likes me and they make me move out how embarrassing would that be. But it was such an amazing opportunity and It would be such a great experience. Is this really happening am I really going to be apart of sway la?

B-" so what do you say?"
