Forced to live with Sway LA

Chapter 6

Saturday
Lexie's pov
I woke up in the middle of josh and Jaden which confused me for a second because why the hell are they in my room? But then I remembered the events of yesterday and josh comforting me and eventually fell asleep and I guess Jaden came in when he got home and crashed on my bed too. I looked around for my phone and found it by my laptop so I walked over to it and grabbed it and then climbed back on the bed and turned it on since I turned it off yesterday with all the drama going on but I wanted to see what people were saying. The first app I went to was twitter and the first thing I saw was tiktok world war 3 trending alone with a chase and Nessa are cancelled hashtag, Jaden's live was everywhere on twitter people saying things about how he did the right thing some saying he shouldn't have brought it to social media. Some asking if I was okay and then I came across the hate comments saying "Lexie should go purge again" "she must be the disappointment in the family" "she's an embarrassment to the hossler family" "no wonder Jaden left to LA" I just zoned out and kept reading until I felt my phone being taken out of my hands.
End of pov
Lexie: what the hell I was reading that
Josh: you don't need to be reading those comments Lexie (puts her phone in his pocket)
Lexie: fine then can I at least have my phone back?
Josh: no I think today would be a good idea to just unplug from the phone and I think Jaden would agree
Lexie: but josh I can handle it I promise
(Jaden opens his eyes)
Jaden: what's going on?
Lexie: josh won't let me have my phone (whines)
Josh: she was reading hate comments
Jaden: then I think Josh is right in fact I think it's better if you stay off the phone today lex
Lexie: Jaden I can handle it I am fine I promise
Jaden: I don't care I don't want you on it today
Lexie: ugh then what am I supposed to do (whines)
Josh: want to have a pool day just all of us though i don't feel like having people over
Jaden: that sounds like a good idea
Josh: alright I am gonna wake up the boys and then we can post mate breakfast
Jaden: okay I'll be right down I want to talk to Lexie for a minute
Josh: okay
(Josh gets off the bed and leaves the room and Jaden looks over at Lexie who's looking down at the sheets playing with them)
Jaden: why didn't you tell me?
Lexie: tell you what? (Asks innocently)
Jaden: you know what
Lexie: I don't want to have this conversation right now
Jaden: well I do so why didn't you tell me?
Lexie: I am not telling you and I don't want to talk about it so just leave it alone
Jaden: no I am your big brother you should have told me did mom and dad know?
Lexie: yeah but you think they gave a shit? No they just had the nanny monitor what I ate and the lock the bathrooms for an hour after I ate (rolls her eyes)
Jaden: why did you start in the first place?
Lexie: no see this is what we are not going to do, we aren't having this conversation (gets off the bed and puts a pair of socks on and leaves the room and starts climbing down the stairs)
Jaden: where are you going!
Lexie: anywhere that I don't have to have this conversation (gets to the kitchen and sees all the boys drinking protein shakes)
Griffin: everything okay?
Lexie: yeah griffin everything's just perfect (says sarcastically)
(Sits on one of the chairs)
Bryce: someone woke up in a good mood
(Jaden gets downstairs and enters the kitchen)
Jaden: we weren't done talking
Lexie: I was and I am and if you don't want to piss me off I advice you to just drop the subject
Jaden: fine but we are talking about it eventually
Lexie: sure I'll let you keep thinking that
Knock knock
Kio: I think that's the post mates I'll get it
Lexie's pov
Kio walked over to the front door and opened it and came back with the food and placed it on the table, I grabbed my pancakes that I told josh to get me and started eating it while the boys just all talked about how they were going to unplug from social media for today and just enjoy each other's company. Once I was finished I went upstairs to chance into my pink ruffled bikini and looked myself in the mirror and the comments that people were saying about me started to flood my mind but then I decided to start saying five positive things about myself out loud because that's what I was told to do when I started feeling insecure and it helped so I walked downstairs to see the boys already in their swim trunks swimming in the pool while I sat down on the chair to tan and then I felt arms wrap around my waist.
End of pov
Lexie: Blake put me down!!
Blake: okay be careful with what you wish for (throws her in the water)
Lexie: Blake (whines)
Blake: what? (Laughs)
Lexie: I didn't want to get wet
Quinton: to bad, hey ant catch!
Lexie: don't you dare Quinton!
Anthony: bet
(Quinton tosses her to Anthony)
Ant: hey princess
Lexie: hi
Anthony: Bryce catch (tosses Lexie)
Lexie: guys I am not a football!
Bryce: (catches her) no but your light and cuter then a football
Lexie: put me down (whines)
Bryce: nah josh you want her?
Lexie: no he's gonna drop me for sure!
Josh: I am insulted that you have no faith in me
Lexie: too bad Bryce don't you (before she finishes her sentence Bryce throws her and josh catches her) jadennn make them stop
Jaden: stop what? Josh pass her to me
Lexie: guys!
(Josh throws Lexie over to jaden who catches her)
Jaden: hey this is actually kind of fun
Lexie: (glares) I am not a toy you can toss around (crosses her arms)
Griffin: your right, your a little baby therefore the boys should stop tossing you around
Lexie: I am not a baby either
Noah: your the youngest in the house which makes you the baby (walks over to them and picks her up from Jaden and cradles her)
Lexie: ughhh you guys are annoying Noah put me down
Noah's pov
I smirked knowing that we were all in the deep part of the pool so I decided to listen to her and put her down but not even a second later she was wrapping her legs around my waist and clinging onto me since she couldn't reach and I thought it was adorable while all the boys just kept laughing at how tiny she was.
End of pov
Noah: I thought you wanted me to put you down
Lexie: no not anymore
Josh: (coughs) shorty (coughs)
Lexie's pov
I heard josh so I splashed him with water which started a water war against all of us and we were laughing and having fun and I can't remember the last time I felt this happy but I was. We spent a few more hours in the pool and then Bryce ordered McDonald's because you know they can't cook to save their lives, we stayed in the pool until the food came and after we ate we got out because It was starting to get cold. So I showered and threw on a long sleeve and sweats and walked downstairs to see the Noah and josh playing ping pong.
End of pov
Noah: lex you want the next round
Lexie: I suck at ping pong
Josh: I'll teach you
Blake: you teach Lexie ping pong you suck too (laughs)
Josh: oh really who won the last time we played
(Blake stays quiet)
Josh: exactly
Quinton: that's only because you went against me but if Jaden played against you, you would lose
Josh: that's so cap
Jaden: no it's not because I beat you before
Lexie: oh no here we go again
Kio: (laughs) they aren't going drop this are they?
Lexie: no it's gonna end with josh and Jaden going head to head just watch
A few minutes later
Jaden: ha that's my point!
Josh: no it's not you didn't even hit it correctly
Jaden: okay josh sure your serve (passes him the ball)
Lexie's pov
Josh and Jaden literally played ping pong for two hours while the rest of us just watched but I have to admit it was very entertaining every time Jaden would get a point josh would curse but then when josh scored Jaden would curse and josh would start mocking him, but after two hours and thirty minutes I was over it so I snuck up to my room and closed the door and opened my bag to take out my vape pen and walked over to my balcony and took a few hits. I thought about how much fun I was having with the boys today but the urge to check social media is getting to me because I want to know what people are saying. I know I shouldn't care but I do and I want to talk to my friends from home... but josh put my phone somewhere and refuses to tell me. I took a few more hits and then walked back downstairs so the boys wouldn't get suspicious and saw them still playing ping pong.
End of pov
Lexie: can we build a fort?
Quinton: what?
Lexie: you know like a fort with blankets and then we can watch movies and eat pizza
Jaden: if you want to then sure why not
Lexie: yay!! Come on let's go
Lexie's pov
After twenty minutes and two pillow fights later the fort was finally built and we started scrolling through Netflix I was flipping through the channels when I felt arms around me and being pulled into someone's lap and I looked up to see Jaden.
End of pov
Lexie: what are you doing?
Jaden: cuddling with my baby sister why?
Lexie: I know that but why
Jaden: because I want to is it a crime?
Lexie: can you not (gets off his lap and sits on one of the blankets)
Jaden: you used to love cuddling with me lex what's up?
Lexie: I am not five anymore Jaden
Jaden: oh come on your never too old for a cuddle
Josh: sorry Jaden but I am gonna steak her from you (picks her up from the carpet and places her on his lap)
Lexie: no not you either (gets off him)
Josh: whyyy
Lexie: because i just don't want to (puts the haunting of bly manor)
Griffin: you sure your not gonna get scared (teases)
Lexie: oh hush (throws a pillow at him but misses his head)
Griffin: haha you missed
Lexie: next time I won't now shh and watch
Jaden's pov
I was trying to watch the show but my mind kept drifting to how Lexi didn't want me to hold her... she always wanted to cuddle whenever we watched any kind of movie it was her favorite thing. She would come up to me and ask to watch a movie while I grabbed the blankets and made us popcorn and then she would curl up to me eventually fall asleep. I sighed like I know she's a teenager now but she's so cold sometimes it's confusing one minute she's happy like in the pool and then next minute she's the total opposite. Maybe I should consider putting her in therapy now that she's living with me.. she'll probably hate me for it so for now I'll just keep an eye on her. I was taken out of my thoughts when I felt a pillow hit me In the face.
End of pov
Jaden: Bryce your so gonna get it! (Hits him back with the pillow)
Lexie: guys can we just watch the show pleaseee
Bryce: fine
Lexie: thank you
Lexie's pov
Later on we ordered pizza and around twelve we called a night and went to bed, I was just about to get under my covers when Jaden walked into my room. I internally groaned because I don't want to talk about my feelings and I don't want to talk to him.
End of pov
Jaden: hey can we talk now
Lexie: no
Jaden: please lex I just want to know what's going on with you
Lexie: I am fine
Jaden: no your not
Lexie: yeah I am look I am sorry if I didn't want to cuddle with my brother who left me without so much as a phone call or text
Jaden: so that's what this is about
Lexie: goodnight Jaden (pulls her sheets over her)
Jaden: (sighs) goodnight Lexie I love you
(Lexie stays quiet and jaden walks into the room where josh is laying down on his phone)
Jaden: she hates me
Josh: she doesn't hate you jae
Jaden: yes she does she won't even let me cuddle with her and she won't even talk to me... josh I didn't even know she had an eating disorder it's official I am the worst brother in the world
Josh: no your not (hugs him) look she's probably just hurt and angry and she loves you and you followed your dreams that's not something you should feel guilty about and your here for her now and that's what matters
Jaden: I guess
Josh: and you know I could always be your new cuddle buddy
Jaden: (laughs) thanks josh
Josh: your welcome let's get some sleep yeah?
Jaden: yeah
(Josh turns the lights off and they go to sleep)
