Sam's video: Scariest Moment in Our New House

[Juliet's so petty and annoying (kind of) and I love it]

Juliet's POV:

Since the whole situation with my mental health, I was taking a break from my recordings. I was willing to be in the guys' videos, so long as they monitored the comments and removed any negative ones, which they were all willing to do.

Colby had basically yelled at his fans for their treatment of me, especially the ones who told me the horrible, horrible things.

We sat outside, Colby and I on the sofa. I had a turkey grinder and iced water, which wasn't very icy anymore.

Corey and Jake kept complaining about the humidity. It kind of sucked, but I was more used to it, even though I hadn't lived in Boston for the past few years.

Colby stole a bite of my grinder and I pulled it away. "Mine. Make your own."

"Mine! Mine! Mine!" Corey and Jake called.

I rolled my eyes. "Guys, this isn't Finding Nemo."

"Or is it?" Corey asked, running towards the pool and dipping his hand in.

"Just be careful of Bruce, then. Oh. Wait. He's the nice one. Kind of. Watch out for the scuba divers. Be careful of P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney."

"You still have that memorized?" Jake asked. "That movie's from, like, 1999."

"2003, mate. And yes. Every child had their address and that memorized. Still do, gents!"

Colby laughed and tried to steal my grinder again, but I stopped him. "Mine. Guys, don't do the seagulls thing again."

Sam walked out to the backyard and said, "All right, come in the movie theater room. I, uh, I saw this TikTok thing I wanna try on all of us."

I pouted. "Can I finish my grinder?"

Sam nodded. "Yes, Juliet, you can finish your grinder. And for the viewers still confused, she's not saying anything dirty. That's just what she calls a sandwich."

"Ooh," Colby said as we stood.

We followed Sam inside and he turned to us. "All right, boys, Juliet." Corey aggressively sipped his tea and coughed.

I clapped him on his back and sighed. "Every time."

Once Corey stopped coughing, Sam led us into the movie room and said, "All right, come over here, sit down, we're all gonna do this together."

"Do we have to?" Colby asked.

As Sam set up the camera, he replied, "Yes, please."

We sat down. Colby and Jake were in front, and Corey and I were behind. Colby had a hand resting on my knee.

Sam continued as Corey laid on his stomach. "And since it was just 4/20, there is this thing that if you do for 30 seconds and then look straight into the forehead of your friend, it makes their face warp."

"What?" Corey and I questioned.

"Whoa," Colby voiced.

"So we're all gonna try it together and see if we can, like, see each others' face warp."

"Let's do it."

"Like we're on drugs, except we don't actually do drugs, okay? Chill."

I smirked and Sam shook his head. "Don't do it."

I ignored him and sang, "Drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs, I don't need it but I'll sell what you got, take the cash and I'll keep it."

"God dangit."
