I ran into the backyard and immediately took shelter behind a chair. "Oh that's funny you think you can hide Rainy," I heard Connor say. I peeked out from behind the chair and saw Mom with her back to me. Wow, big mistake Mom. I aimed and shot water at her and sprayed her in the back. She squealed and turned around, automatically spraying me with water.

I screamed, giving away my hiding spot. I ran around the side of the pool and was sprayed with water. I then slipped and fell in. "Shit!" I yelled as I fell in. I popped my head up. I shook my head like a dog, sending water everywhere. I got out of the pool and grabbed a towel off a chair. "Okay well I think it's obvious that I lose," I said. "Yep, go get dressed we're going shopping today," Mom said, not taking her eyes off everyone else.

I wrapped the towel around me and walked inside and up to my room. I took a shower, dried my hair, straightened it, and put on black skinny jeans, a fall out boy shirt, and my black converse. I slid my phone into my back pocket and saw the water gun battle had come down to Mom and Dad. Mom snuck up behind Dad and pushed him into the pool. "Ha! Take that!" she yelled. Dad pulled Mom into the pool and kissed her. "Ew! Come on let's go shopping!" I yelled.

They climbed out of the pool and went upstairs with everyone else to get ready.

*1 hour later*

"Everyone ready?" Dad yelled up the stairs. I came running down and slipped at the last step. "Oh, you okay Rainster?" he asked helping me up. I nodded and checked my phone to make sure it hadn't cracked. We all piled into the cars and set off for downtown. "Hot Topic here I come!" I yelled when we got to the mall. "Shh!" Mom said. I nodded and we all divided into groups to shop. I was with Mom, Jenn, and Arden, who had met us there.

We walked into Hot Topic and I picked out a Falling in Reverse shirt, another Fall Out Boy shirt, an All Time Low shirt, a Panic! at the Disco shirt, and a Sleeping with Sirens shirt. I paid for it with my adoption anniversary money but had to ask Mom for a few dollars for tax, which she gave to me. We finished up there and just walked around and shopped for a few hours.

At around 11 we all met back up and decided to go to smashburger for lunch. I ordered a normal burger and fries and we all went to sit down and wait for our food. We at at three tables since we all couldn't fit at one.

A girl came over and gave us our food and said she liked my hair, which was now all brown on top and a hint of blue still at the tips. It took a lot longer than I thought to wash out. We ate and talked about stuff like video ideas, Kian and Jc's new project, and of course, the breaking up of O2L.

We discussed how to tell them and decided on just them making a video with all of them and then a goodbye week. This was going to be the hardest thing they'd ever done.

*1 hour later*

I went upstairs and put all my things in my room and was about to go downstairs when I heard this, a familiar sound in our house. "Hi! We're O2L!"

I sighed, that was the last time I'd ever hear that. I knocked on mom's door and she said come in. I walked in and sat on the bed with her. "What's up?" She asked, turning the volume of the tv down a few notches.

"I'm sad," I said falling onto my face on the bed. She stroked my hair, "I know, I am too, but this is something that they have to do for themselves. Remember, you have to make yourself happy before you can make other people happy. If they're not happy then how can they make other people happy?"

That gave me an idea. "Thanks mom, sorry to cut this short but I just got a video idea," I said hugging her. She smiled and ruffled my hair.

I got up and ran to my room, then grabbed my camera and ran out the front door. I set it up and turned it on.
