Dinner went on for about an hour; mum asked many questions about their personal lives, & let me just say, many of the things that i now know about them are pretty cool.

I learned that all of them, including Ricky, are in this youtube collab channel called Our2ndLife, & that they are really popular. They also have their own individual fan base.

Alittle after they left & Ricky kissed my mum goodbye, i went into my little area & opened up my laptop, obviously curious as to why these 6 boys are popular.

I open up youtube & swiftly type in 'Our2ndLife' in the search bar. Before i could even blink, a whole bunch of videos popped up, & I just randomly clicked on a video.

It was Jc's video. Surprised? Me either.

I sighed, but watched the video anyway.

"Whats up O2L!......... Jc here."

I feel my lips curl into a smile as i watch the rest of Jc's video. After watching about 10 other videos from the other boys, I decide to text Jc.

+ " Hey, Jc? " +

+ " Whats going on? " +

I blink, spacing out for a second.

+ " Can we meet up later on tonight? " +

I check the clock on the wall; its only 11:30

+ " Sure, yeah. Where at? and what time? (-: " +

God, that smiley face emoji is fucking creepy.

+ " At the pool over here at the hotel, at midnight? " +

Thats really the only time Im sure my sister & mum would be sleeping. I set my phone down on the bed & get up to change into my swimsuit. "Where are you going?" I jump out of my skin at the tired voice. "Im gonna go take a dip in the pool for a little." I say, tugging on my bikini bottom. She yawns, nodding her head. "Alright. Goodnight sweety." I here her feet drag along the carpeted hall way. Im actually surprised that my mother is giving me freedom. She used to never let me go out with my friends after 4:00 in the afternoon back in Hawaii. I guess things changed.

I grab my phone before heading out the door & towards the lobby.

My phone dings, echoing through out the empty lobby.

+ " Im here. " +

I lock my phone & push the pool doors open.

The pool was indoors, & went up to 15 feer deep, considering there were 2 diving boards located over there. I take off my sweater & shorts.

"Finally!" I hear Jc gasp for air as he reaches the surface. I chuckle. "Shutup Justin Cloud Caylen." I tease. He frowns, but smiles afterward. I dip my toe into the water, expecting it to be freezing cold.

"Its warm just get in!" He yells, splashing me with the surprisingly warm water. I shake my head, but dive in anyway.

"So whyd ya invite me here this late?" He asks, treading water. I pat down my hair. "I need to talk to you about Ricky." I wasnt sure what made me say that. I never told anyone about how abusive & controling Ricky is, & even if i wanted to, I dont have the guts to utter a word about the subject.

Jc gives me a weird look, "What about him?" I sigh, & paddle towards the wall. What do I even say? What will HE say in return?

"Well?" He says, appearing next to me.

I change my mind. I dont want to tell Jc. He'll call the cops & get Ricky arrested. Worst of all, Ricky will beat my ass. "Ricky, he uh, he-" I pause, trying to think of something. "He wants me to thank you for him. Uh. He, hes glad he has an awesome friend." I fake a smile.
