Trust Me, I Promise: Calvin Goldby

"Bye." He hung up.
"Oh, look, Kayli's sad that her boyfriend hung up," Dixie laughed.
"He's not my boyfriend," I groaned.
"Sure," mom said.
"Not you too!"
"You two would be cute," she said.
"You said the same about Haden."
"She's right. Now I say Calvin is right for you," Dad said. We finished our nails and night came. The boys came over and I was in the kitchen with Dixie. We were fighting for a place to make a TikTok.
"Calvin, c'mere," I said and he stood behind me. We were making a TikTok and he accidentally hit me in the face with his rings. "Ow!" I held my cheek bone and walked to the side. He stopped the video and posted it before looking at me.
"I'm so sorry," he said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine," I said.
"Oh, what happened?" Mom came in to get water.
"Nothing. I'm fine." I moved my hand and it was bleeding. "It's fine," I told Calvin. Mom slid the tissue box to me and I wiped the blood off. "Okay, let's try again," I smiled and we moved the phone to the walk-in area. We tried to do a foot dance and I suddenly fell on my side. I broke out laughing and Calvin smiled and watched me. I posted in and we finally managed to do it without getting hurt.
"We did it without anyone getting hurt this time," Calvin laughed.
"Yay!" I smiled. We posted it and dad came over.
"We're all going to dinner at Boa. You two coming?" He asked.
"Ooh! Yes," I said.
"Sure," Calvin said. We went to Boa and were interviewed by Fletcher on the way out. "I like ya cut G," Calvin hit the back of my head.
"Ow," I said. He hugged me and Fletcher smiled.
"What happened to your cheek?" He asked me.
"Calvin hit me in the face with his rings," I said.
"On accident," Calvin added. "I'm not that mean to do it on purpose."
"Are you sure there's nothing between you two?" Fletcher asked.
"We're just friends," I said. We left and got home.
"Is everyone here staying for the night?" Mom asked as she walked into the kitchen where we were all sitting.
"Yeah. If that's okay," Noah said.
"Yeah," Dad said. I went through comments on my video and saw a special one.

I honestly ship them because they make each other happy. She looks happier with him than with Haden.

I smiled and liked the comment which went to TikTok room. A while later, I went upstairs and Calvin was laying on my bed with his phone.
"Hi," I said.
"Hey," he stated.
"Did you take pills?" I asked.
"It was getting bad." I nodded and jumped onto the bed. I went live and people asked about the comment.
"I only liked the comment because it was sweet. I do honestly feel happy," I said. "'Where's Calvin?'" I read and took the phone. I shifted so I was laying on top of Calvin who was on his stomach. "Right here." I bit my lip and poked his forehead. He set his phone aside and took mine.
"Why do I look depressed? I'm not. I'm tired. I took ADHD pills," he said. I attacked his head and he smiled. "Do I hurt her? I hope not. I accidentally hit her in the face. And I didn't actually hurt her when I hit her in front of Hollywood Fix. It's so weird having the drama about me." I laughed and he gave me my phone back. "I'm gonna sleep," he said.
"Okay," I said. I set my phone back up and he slept next to me, visible to the live. I pet his side and left my hand there. "Okay, I'm gonna get off and sleep." I ended and slept next to Calvin. He went home in the morning and I went live again.
"Guys, Calvin and I aren't dating. I think of him as just a friend. A best friend. Nothing more," I said as comments came up. I ended and watched Alex's new vlog.
"So Calvin doesn't know I have cameras in my room and... I caught him jerking off to Kaylianne's YouTube videos," Alex said. I shut my computer and went downstairs.
"Did anyone see Alex's new vlog?" I asked.
"No. Why?" Dad asked.
"Calvin jerked off to my YouTube videos and it makes me uncomfortable," I whispered to him. He and mom followed me upstairs and locked the door.
"Let's have a little talk," mom said. I sat on the bed and they sat on either side of me. "Tell us what happened?"
"I was watching Alex's new YouTube video and he explained that he had put security cameras in his room. Calvin was in his room and got caught jerking off to my YouTube videos."
"What do you feel about that?" Dad asked.
"I feel uncomfortable. Just to know that... I feel like nothing should have been said about that and I wish I never saw that. It should have been kept private."
"Let's focus on the uncomfortable. I agree with you. I would feel uncomfortable too," mom said.
"We can't order you to do something, but I would recommend that you take a little break from social media for now. Maybe take a break from texting anyone from the Hype House," dad said and I nodded. I posted on instagram that I'd be taking a little break and muted the Hype House members on texts.
"What do you think you should do?" Mom asked.
"I feel like I need a break, I need to take some time to have fun and maybe hang out with you guys, and... It's all weird because I'm 18 and Calvin's 21. I don't like what happened," I said.
"Okay. Oaky. You can take a break and hang out with us. That's perfectly okay." I took a break for a few days and felt better. I did think about Calvin at night though. I didn't know if I liked him or not. I hadn't originally thought much into that. One day, I was downstairs in the kitchen when the bell rang.
"Calvin, she's not in the mood to talk," I heard dad say.
"Just let me in. I have to talk to her," Calvin said.
"I'm sorry, kid. Just leave her alone."
"No!" Calvin walked into the kitchen and I went to quickly walk away.
