"Thank you all for tuning into the stream, goodnight!" I spoke sweetly, waving goodbye to my chat before ending.

I ran my fingers through my hair, just moments before a familiar head popped it's way into my doorframe.

"Hey Liliana, how'd the stream go?" He asked, just as he would every night.

"Hello William, it went pretty well." I said with a smile, taking a sip of the apple juice he gave me prior to talking.

"Oh piss off." He said with a laugh, to which I joined.

"Okay well anyways I'm gonna shower, don't fucking flush the toilet again or I swear I will-"

A/N: i hope people understand this-

"HOOOOKAYYY and that's where we stop the sentence. enjoy your shower, gremlin."

I laughed once more as I flipped him off, grabbing a towel and pajamas before walking into my bathroom.

~~~

I flopped onto my bed after throwing my hair into a messy bun, squishing my face into the soft pillows. I was just on the verge of drifting off to sleep, before Wil came in once more.

"Ugh, I'm too tired for this. What do you want?" I asked him, the annoyance ringing throughout my tone.

"Oh chill out. I just wanted to ask if you wanted to meet some of my friends tomorrow? We're shooting a vlog at some beach and I asked if you could tag along. You in?" My initial instinct was to deny his offer, considering i'm not the particular "extrovert" type, but Wil seemed excited, and i was too tired to care.

"I don't know Wil. I don't want to be hanging out with a bunch of shirtless 25 year old men while in a bikini." He giggled at that, but I was being serious. The age thing was just one of my many planned excuses to not go.

"Don't worry, I'm literally the only one out of the 5 of us who's not 18."

"You don't find it slightly weird that your friends are all 7 years younger than you and teenagers?"

"They're not my only friends, good lord."

"Well who all is going?" I knew he was gonna drag me along no matter the situation, but I still wanted to ask questions. He was clearly becoming annoyed with the quantity.

"Me, Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo, and you."

A/N: we're gonna pretend that ranboo and tubbo are completely normal names for modern 18 year olds👍

His replies were short, so I knew that was my cue to shut up with the questions. In reply, I just sighed.

"Look, I know it's been a hard few years, but it's time to get back out there Lils. You can't throw your life down the drain just because of one incident that happened nearly 4 years ago. I know it hurt, and it hurt me just as much. But it hurts you even more if you shut the world out and isolate yourself. So please, just try this. If you hate it, fine, I won't make you hang out with them again, but it's worth a shot. Please Lils, just this once."

Tears began to spring to my eyes as I noticed the pure emotion behind his own. I got out of bed, and walked over to him. As I was giving him a hug, I lightly punched his arm and giggled.

"Fine, but you owe me ice cream after, loser."

He laughed as he pushed me away, and turned to leave.

Before he left the room, I quickly called back to him.

"Hey Wil?"

"Yeah?" He answered, turning back around.

"Thank you."

~~~

"Lilianaaaa!" Wil yelled, dragging out the A as long as his breath would allow him to do so. He jumped onto the foot of my bed in attempts to wake me up.

"Jesus, what time is it?" I asked groggily, rubbing my eyes.

"It's literally 1:00pm. You've been sleeping for 13 hours, so I suggest you get your ass out of bed before we miss the beautiful rays of sunshine." He said half-sarcastically.

"Fine, but get out." I sat up, and pushed him, trying to get him off my bed. All he did was laugh at my feeble attempts.

"Get ready, we're leaving at 1:30." It wasn't much time, but it was enough.

He left the room, and I went to my bathroom to brush my teeth and hair and whatever else a girl's gotta do in the mornings.

I put on the only bikini I could find at the moment, and threw some cute clothes over it. Some jean shorts and a lilac-shaded tank top.

Makeup wasn't necessary, because either way the water would wash it off. I didn't even know these guys, so how I looked wasn't my greatest worry.

I tied my long, brown hair into a loose braid at the back of my head just to keep it out of my face, and grabbed my sunglasses before leaving my room.

"Ready?" Wil asked with a smile across his face.

"As I'll ever be." I said, rolling my eyes, trying to hide the slight panic behind them.

He took a few seconds to read my expression before his face fell slightly, but the smile came right back moments after.

~~~

"Promise it won't be that bad?" I asked him for the final time while sitting in the car, about to get out.

"Lils, for the millionth time, you're gonna love them, and they'll like you just as much. It'll be fun, and I know for a fact that none of them are gonna give you shit. I've got height and weight on them, they're scared of me. Okay well maybe not Ranboo, he's tall as fuck, but he's nicer than Tubbo and Tom combined."

"Whatever you say..." I sighed, stepping out of the car. It was a nice day, no clouds to be seen for miles. Rare weather for Brighton, but definitely cherished.

Wil came to my side of the car, grabbed my hand, and we began to walk toward the beach.

I saw two boys sitting on the sand, talking, and setting up some kind of cameras in their hands. One was tall, seemingly taller than Wilbur. He had a mask in his hands, and was wearing sunglasses.

The other was significantly shorter, but had the same hair color as the taller of the two.

"Ranboo, Tubbo!" I heard Wil say beside me as we approached them.

As if on cue, they stood up at the same time and gave Wil a quick hug.

"Lili, this is Ranboo and Tubbo. Ranboo and Tubbo, this is Lili. Be nice, she can bite pretty hard"

"Hey!" I yelled in defense while laughing, slightly kicking him in the shin."

I quickly noticed that Tubbo had a very contagious laugh, and Ranboo's was more of a silent giggle. I shook their hands, and layed my towel on the sand before sitting on it.

"Where's Tom?" Wilbur asked the two, taking a quick glance around.

"Just running late," Ranboo started, "He should be getting here soon."

And that's when I landed my eyes on a tall, smiling blonde boy, who's eyes landed on me at the same moment.
