I • Think • I • Get • The • Hype • Now.

It's 4:37 A.M. and I'm awake.

    "Hey, guys. Welcome to my live," I say, leaning my phone against my bathroom mirror so I could talk to my fans. I was in a black spaghetti strap cropped tank top and some of the sweatpants that all the boys keep wearing. You know. Those sweatpants. I have like thirty pairs of them.

"Who have I known the longest in the hype house? Umm, Alex and Kouvr I think. When I graduated high school in 2015, I moved to Carlsbad and met most of their friends after that. Actually, wait," I said thinking about it. "No, I've known Chase the longest."

"How have I known Chase the longest? We met when I was 16 and he was 13. We're cousins but our moms didn't tell us about each other for a while," I said simply while applying some chapstick.

"Who am I dating? I actually filmed a Q&A for my youtube channel that I'm gonna upload later. That was one of the questions that I answered," I say looking at the phone for another question.

"Am I dating Tayler? No. the dude's like a brother to me," I laughed while saying this. I got asked that question a lot. We've known each other for a few years. We were like brother and sister.

"What time is it here? Umm," I trailed off, looking for something that could tell me the time. I opened the door that was separating my bathroom from my bedroom. Ryland was laying on his stomach still completely passed out. The way he was laying kept the live from seeing his face. I looked at the alarm clock that I have next to my bed. Jeez. It's way early.

"It's 4:37 in the morning," I tell my phone, giggling a bit and closing the door back behind me. "You guys need to understand something. I'm from Georgia. If you don't know where that is, it is on the opposite side of the country. We have a 3 hour time difference and I just flew back from there a couple of days ago."

"Who was on the bed when I opened the door? My boyfriend," I replied. "We stayed up really late last night, or I guess this morning making TikToks and watching tv."

"Why am I not asleep with him? I'm an insomniac. I like sleeping. I'm just not very good at it," I chuckled.

"How tall am I? I am 6'4" and a half," I explained, basically cackling as all of the comments of disbelief rolled in. (A/n: ok yes I realize that Ryland is not that tall. If him being shorter in this story bothers you, just pretend that he's the same height. If not, just go about your day.)

"Baby?" I heard grumbling coming from the room. "Why you up so early?"

"I took a shower and I have nothing better to do with my life so I'm on live," I called back. His voice hadn't gotten any closer or farther so I could tell that he was still laying in bed.

"Did you post the video on YouTube so I can come in there or do you want it to be a surprise?"

"I haven't posted it yet but you can come in here if you want," I replied with a smile. All of the comments blew up saying that they wanted to see him. I looked at some of the comments of people trying to figure out who's voice they were hearing. I saw a lot of Calvin and Patrick. Ew no.

"Calvin and Patrick are probably the last people in this house that I would date. Other than Paper," I clarified. As I'm reading through the comments, I hear the door open and close behind me and feel arms wrap around my waist.

"Good morning, Mamas," Ryland said, burying his face in the crook of my neck. The poor guy sounded so tired.

"Good morning, Babes," I say back. "Alright, guys. I'm gonna go ahead and end the live here. Have an awesome day or rest of a day or night or whatever. Bye, guys."

I ended the live. When I looked at the mirror, all I saw was Ryland smiling back at me.

"You're so beautiful. You know that?"

"Thank you. And you're pretty handsome if I do say so myself," I tell him, turning around to face him. He just stares into my eyes for a minute with a small smile on his face.

"God, I love you," he said, kissing me. I pull away and look at him.

"I love you, too," I replied, going back to kissing him.
