Thank you so much for 100K. That absolutely blows my mind more then anyone can comprehend. I really want to write again so if you have any ideas, please comment because I really miss it. I am so amazed that something I wrote that, i don't think is even that good got 100K reads. And I look back and there is chapters titles "thanks for 50 reads, 100 reads, 1k reads" etc and this is just amazing.

Here is.. 2 years later - Chapter 51.

____________________________

Isn't it funny how when ever your in a bad mood, the weather reflects it? Darker clouds hung over the house the day we all moved out. I was overflowing with sadness having to say goodbye to my first real home. I made all my memories with my family here and the lease expired so its time for us to leave. BTW we didn't get the security deposit back after Colby broke the door to the 24 pp room. But it made a great youtube video. My suitcase handle is sweaty from the tight grip I didn't know I had. I look down the hall way towards the front door and my eyes spill with tears. One after the other slipping down my flushed cheeks. Sam comes down the stairs and notices me in his peripheral vision before coming over and embracing me in a comforting hug. He is moving to this apartment building with Colby and Jake, Corey and Devyn are moving other places. The whole group is splitting up. He lets go, ensuring to keep one hand behind my back, rubbing in small circles as he leads me to the door. I but my bag into the back of my car and turn around to the house one more time before getting into my car and following Sam and Colby to the new apartment building. The car drive was filled with tears and memories because I thought about everything that had happened in that house even though I was kind of glad to be living away from the craziness. We pull up next to each other in the parking lot. As soon as I get out of the car, I head into the reception of the building to get some carts to be able to move our stuff in. They had tall, metal cages which allowed me to get most of my stuff up to my loft in one go. Thankfully, I managed to get one next to Sam and Colby so I wouldn't have to be far from my brothers. I place the boxes on the floor before pushing the cart into the hall for Colby to grab his stuff in. This is moving day.

I take the 'S' marked box upstairs to the open space for my new studio. I am doing pretty well with Youtube music at the moment and I will forever love to sing so I am going to start doing music in here. Kat said she would help set up the stuff later today and even do a cover with me in the next few days but at the moment she was busy helping Sam unpack his stuff. I take my sheets the the cardboard and leaving a few on the new mattress that I had bought for the apartment. I ordered some flat pack furniture not long ago that I managed to fit in the back of Sam's van that he hired so I placed that in my room. I also had to make the bed frame but that wasn't coming for another few days so I'm going to be sleeping on the floor for a day or two. I put the bedside lams in the room next to the furniture before a knock echoed from the door. I jogged over to the door and opened it to the moving van guys. You seriously thought I only managed to fit everything in my car? NOPE!

I saw two guys behind him carrying a sofa so I directed them to where it was supposed to go. It's a sectional one so they brought the second piece in. I brought the flat pack coffee table in and rested it against the sofa. I reached my phone and texted my boyfriend to come over to help me move. Within 10 minutes, the door opened and there he was. Landon was smiling down at me with his gorgeous blue eyes looking down at me. He hands me a bouquet of flowers and I give my a thankful kiss after gushing and putting them in a vase. He sits down in the living room and starts to help unpack the television from the box. He is really good at doing the technical stuff and he would have laughed watching me try to plug the tv into the wall myself. I tuck a chunk of hair that had fallen behind my ear and tighten my bandana in my hair, the rest was thrown into a messy bun thing on top of my head.

 I adjust my overall straps when I sit down to make the flat pack coffee table in front of Landon who is now playing with the television setting and the channels to make sure everything is working correctly. After 20 or so minutes and Landon and I were finished with our tasks, we headed to Sam and Colby's apartments to ask if they wanted food. We went to Sam's first and I gave Kat a warm hug before asking if they wanted food. They said they would order their own thing so we went to Colby's and when we walked in, there were a bunch of cardboard cut outs of Colby around the place.

"Jake," Colby said and that was all we needed to know.

Colby types his order into my phone and we ordered Uber Eats before heading back to my apartment.
"Do you miss the old house?" Landon asked.

I nodded as a response and he put his arm around my shoulder, kissing the side of my head as we went to my room and started making the furniture in there. When the food came we sat in the middle of Colby's floor and ate together, we were all kind of sharing so we found this easiest. We helped Colby set up some of the stuff in his apartment when it turned dark outside.

Landon and I slumped on the sofa in my apartment when it was around 11.

"I don't want to move," he sighed with my eyes half shut and Landon nodded his head in agreement.
"Stay if you want" I suggested and he shook his head.

"I'm moving in in the morning, I still have to pack up some stuff tonight"
I didn't hear anything else he said because I had drifted to sleep on Landon.

I woke up again at 10am in bed. My bed was made when I got in and I don't remember making it before falling a sleep. I felt really disorientated and then when things started to sink in again, I tune into the noises around me. A knocking on the door. I head through the kitchen, peering over to the sofa to remember that that is where i fell asleep. Landon must have made my bed and moved me. I get shocked out of my thoughts by the door opening to see Kat. Her blue hair is done nicely with makeup looking fresh.

"Why?" Is all I say when she starts laughing, pointing at the clock I plugged in last night.

"it's 10am, isn't Landon coming soon to move in?" she asked and I nod, dragging my feet back into my bedroom while I sit on my mattress and rub my eyes. Kat follows and grabs a bag out of a box in the corner of my room before sitting on the floor in front of me. She uses a makeup wipe to clean my skin before applying some makeup so we can record. She fixes my hair into a messy ponytail and throws clothes at me before waltzing into the living room and up the stairs to help me set up the studio stuff. When I finally get changed and brush my teeth I head up to the studio and Kat has turned on my computer and is sat on the floor untangling wires that were for the microphone. She bought it for my 19th a few months ago and its similar to the one she has so the puts it together with ease. I sit on the floor untangling the headphone wires when the door opens and i hear the squeak of the trolly moving into the downstairs area.
"Hey Lan."

"Hey babe."

I hear his keys land on the marble counter before this footsteps echo up the stair case. When he appears he comes and gives me a kiss on my forehead before putting a tray of drinks and a brown paper bag on the floor between Kat and I.
"Breakfast," He smiles.
"Thank you!" Kat squeals, picking up the coffee drink and a croissant from the Starbucks bag and I mouth "i love you" to him after taking my stuff and he heads back down the stairs to start moving his stuff in downstairs. We agreed on the furniture I got a month ago so he is finishing building the furniture and putting his stuff away. After finishing our food, Kat sets up a light and a nice backdrop for us to film with. She put some sound proof foam on the wall for my neighbours sake before we started discussing song choices.

"Should we do a Billie song?" Kat suggests.

"Maybe, OH! what about Alec Benjamin's new song?!" I gasp and her eyes widen when she hears the idea. She nods quickly before I run down the stairs to grab some water before we start recording. Landon is sitting at the kitchen counter finishing building a his collage photo frame.

"Hey sweet, we are about to start recording," I smile excitedly.

"Sounds good. I have to go down to Walmart and get food so I will be out and wont make noise." I lean over to give him a kiss when I hear the door shut and I see Kat at the computer, opening the software to record.

"lets go."

Lyrics to the song if you want to listen to it, its above and I wrote who sings which part in case you cared. Song is attached above. <3

If you don't care, I will put a part after the Lyrics so you know that It's done.

Must Have Been The Wind - Alec Benjamin

_______________

[Verse 1] - Kat

I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine

At first I thought that I was dreamin'

But then I heard the voice of a girl

And it sounded like she'd been cryin'

Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'

[Pre-Chorus] - Kat

So I took the elevator to the second floor

Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

[Chorus] - Kat

She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

Sweater zipped up to her chin

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

But I have to go back in

Wish I could tell you about the noise

But I didn't hear a thing"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

[Verse 2] - Juliet

So I was layin' on the floor of my room

Cold concrete on my back

No, I just couldn't shake the feeling

I didn't want to intrude because I knew that I didn't have all the facts

But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her

[Pre-Chorus] - Juliet

So I took the elevator to the second floor

Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

[Chorus] - Juliet

She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

Sweater zipped up to her chin

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

But I have to go back in

Wish I could tell you about the noise

But I didn't hear a thing"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

[Bridge] - Juliet

Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me"

Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay

- Kat

Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me"

Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say

- Juliet

Promise I'm not playing tricks on you

You're always welcome to come in

You could stay here for an hour or two

If you ever need a friend

[Chorus] - Both (Kat and Juliet)

We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then

I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

LYRICS FINISHED
______________________

When I we finish singing the song there is a round of applause from downstairs by more then one person. I peer over the balcony where Sam, Landon and Colby stand applauding. I throw a pillow from the bean bag down at them while Kat drops down the bean bag. Thanks Kat, now I have to lug the stupid thing back up the stairs. I run down the stairs with Kat as we run into my room to get more pillows while Colby attempts to throw the bean bag through the door way but it is too big so it hits the frame and then sinks on the floor. We laugh so hard when I feel arms swings me around my my waist while I can't stop laughing. His masculine smell fills my nose and softness meets my lips with a kiss. I open m eyes and smile at Landon whilst Sam and Colby are chasing Kat before she falls on the sofa and Sam starts tickling her. Colby starts dancing around, humping the air and dabbing. I roll my eyes at my stupid brothers while I receive a call from someone. I let go of Landon and see its from Uncle E.

"Elton?" I ask as soon as I answer the call.

"Hey, you with the boys?" He asks and I hum a response.

"Speaker please," he says and I do so.

"Indoor ice skating tonight at 6, who is in?"

"I am down," I agree looking at my brothers and they call our their agreements.

"See you then," He says before hanging up.

"It never ends, does it? We moved out of the house and he still wants to do dumb stuff even though we don't live with him anymore and haven't for the past few months."
Sam and Colby shake their heads and start laughing. I smile at them before we agree that Sam is going to drive us. They leave at their own time while I help Landon finish unpacking his clothes into the shared walk in. I walk past the mail room on my way through the lobby at 5, making a reminder that I had to go in and check even though I am sure there wouldn't be any mail. I started putting my address on things when I was applying for colleges not long ago but I still hadn't heard from them and probably wasn't going to for another few months on whether I got in or not. I really wanted to go to Juilliard or some music school but I doubted that I would get anywhere with that. I head into the car park and meet everyone waiting in the car already. Whoops.

When we get into the skating rink we head straight for the ice skates. When the camera is out, I find it humbling that none of them really change themselves. I dig my feet into the skated and tie them up. The are an ice white with the silver blade which I thought were really pretty. Sam and Colby were kind of smooth on the ice because they used to play hockey back home, however, Landon, not so much. He wobbles, clutching onto the railing that lines the rink. There aren't many people there at this time on a Tuesday but there are a few couples of people and a few professionals training. I take a lap, going backwards a few times before I meet eyes with Landon who looks like he is sweating buckets. I giggle as a stop myself before moving back over to him. I grab onto his hands as i start instructing him on how to move his feet. Corey and Devyn get on the ice, both sticking to the railing as well. I take Landon around a few times before I quickly hop off the ice to grab him a helmet and a rail. I go onto the ice with Sam and Colby, racing them to see who can complete a lap first. This is when Elton comes onto the ice with some dodge balls.
"Seriously? Thats stupidly dangerous." I laugh.

"yeah and fun. Lets get some helmets," Elton says happily.

I roll my eyes and grab one of the helmets before Sam comes over towards me and Colby goes over to Elton. Elton attached GoPros to all our helmets to he has everyones perspective and the others are still skating around the railing, Landon starting to move around slowly without the rail.
"3, 2, 1." Elton calls and we all skate towards the balls that sit in the middle of the rink. I push off the wall and Sam comes zooming beside me. I stay kneeled while I grab a ball before quickly turning back and moving back to where we started. I throw and Elton while he is distracted trying to throw at Sam. I laugh when I hit him below his stomach and he slips onto his butt in the process. We play around on the ice for awhile until they announce their closing in 5 minutes. I skate over to Elton who is in the middle of the rink and the others come over as well.
"Overnight?" Elton questions.

"Sure." I shrug, going off the ice. The group laugh at how easily I was convinces and how I just agreed to it with ease. We head off the ice and grab our things from the lockers.

"Where are we hiding?" I ask Elton and he looks around.

"Where is Devyn?" I ask Corey and he look towards me.

"She isn't into this stuff so she wanted to go home."

"Oh ok, do you want me to give you a lift back?" I ask and he nods thankfully.
"Ok, should one person stay in and then open up later? or should we all just stay in here?" Elton asks and I look at him, thinking for a moment.

"I think the doors can be open or that window we saw around the corner near the parking lot will open," I suggest.

"Who is staying in then?" Colby asks and I take a scan of the group.

None of them volunteer while I sigh.

"I'll do it."

I walk with them to the door when I call out that I am going to the bathroom in front of the employees.

"Ok, we will meet you at the cars," Corey calls and I nod whilst quickly walking away.
I walk through a hallway into the arcade area and look around quickly for a place to hide. I squeeze into a few spots, testing them out to see if they are good but then realise, I can still be seen. I try behind the basketball machine and I don't feel well hidden so I move again. I find a soccer game that had a ball opening at the back. I manage to open the door and get in, closing it behind me. I turn my brightness down on my phone when I text Elton where I am hiding.

Sam's POV:

We head outside and there is a small breeze that gushes past us. We get in the cars and take them around the corner, parking them to so that none of the employees would see. I get out and lock Juliet's car before meeting the others. We see the employees leave after 10 or so minutes and Elton received a message from Juliet saying she was hiding in a good spot behind some soccer thing. The thing is, none of the employees locked the back door.

"Guys, none of the employees locked the door."

"Wait, what?" Colby asks. "Then there must be someone still in there."

We look at Elton and he shrugs as we wait for a little longer. Elton stays on his phone for awhile before suggesting we head to the backdoor. When we get to the backdoor, we peak through the door to see an employee walking around.

Juliet's POV:

I hear someone walking around outside the game turning off all the machines as they go. I look around me rapidly to see if the plug was in here with me and I see a switch out the corner of my eye.

I'm screwed.

I lock the door and start to rapidly text Elton. No response. I start texting Sam or Colby. At this point, I am terrified. I am shaking and tears start to well in my panic. There is a knock on the machine door and I stay silent.

"OPEN UP!" someone calls from the other side of the door.

"IM GOING TO CALL THE POLICE!" the shout walking away. When i see them go down the hallway I open the machine and start to run. I run for what feels like forever to the other end of the arcade towards a door. Please be open. Please. I jolt the door when i realise that its not going to open and I turn around to be face to face with the employee. I sigh and walk with him as he leads me to his office.

"Sit here and don't touch anything while I call the police."

I go on my phone and quickly start texting Sam. He replies quickly saying they will try and help.

I sit in the chair, elbows on the table and head in my hands. My breathing is fast and I'm shaking even more even though I am trying to show that I am not scared.

"Why did you hide?" The man asked coming back in.

I shrug my shoulders as a response and he mimics me.

"You are going to jail, the police are on their way."

i hear the door open and sign in relief, they must be coming to help me. Or. It could be the police already.

I sit on my phone when someones voice is loud and erupts obnoxiously from around the corner. I jump and start tearing up at the grip around my shoulders.
"Juliet it's ok, it was a prank," Elton says.

I freeze and turn around to see the boys standing there.
I sat still for more then 20 seconds before throwing myself at them in a hug.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" I yell, throwing a punch at Elton's arm.

"I called them before hand," He laughs, holding the camera in his hands.

I look at Sam, Colby and Corey, throwing each of them my worst death stare I am capable of. I head out of the room and Landon was still standing there.
"YOU WERE IN ON THIS TO?" I shout throwing myself at him.

"I didn't come in but he told us like 5 minutes ago," he chuckles, catching me and holding my arms down in a hug while I try punch him.

After I calmed down and take a few breaths I look over to Elton.
"Wait, we have all night here?!" I smile when it finally sets in and they all laugh, nodding.

I run over to the ice skate booth and get my pair of skates back.

The room is cold because of the ice and I rub my arms from the chill. Colby and Sam leave the rink for a few minutes and when I finally notice they are gone I notice a lot of movement at the entrance. There were large plastic bubbles coming towards us. I clutch onto my stomach from laughing so hard when the bubbles waddle over. When they are on the ice again, when a blonde and brunette heads pop out the top. Sam places one skate on the ice and begins to skate around while Elton goes to find more bubbles. When Colby steps on the ice he wobbles before falling flat. However because of the bubble, he begins to bounce and roll around on his side which makes everyone laugh. Elton grabs a few and throws them at us. We laugh as we struggle to get into them. When we do, we all line up in dodgeball form again except, we have to try and knock each other over. I knock over Elton and he laughs really hard because I made him do a back flip. When we get out of the bubbles I notice the cool air again. I try and warm up my arms when I feel fabric on my back. Landon placed his jacked on me and I laugh and cringe at his cheesiness, giving him a quick kiss and slipping my arms into his oversized jacket.

We play around on the arcade machines as well and Sam and Colby spent 20 minutes trying to win this bear thing that I wanted. We won a bunch of stuff which was fun but we also wasted a lot of Elton's money.

My eyes started to sink when the clock hit 4 am so we decided it was time to go. Corey gave me a piggyback ride to the car and I sunk into back seat when he put me down. I sat next to Landon and rested my head on his shoulder while Corey got in the front and started the car back home.

When I got back to my apartment building we walked through the lobby and I noticed the mail room out the corner of my eye.
"Guys I am going to quickly get my mail. Good night guys," I wave to Sam and Colby.

I then look over at Landon and smile, "I'll see you up there, its our first night living together!"

He nods as we part ways, him towards the elevator and me towards the mail room. I dig around my pocket for my keys and pull them out, walking along the wall of number when I finally find number 86. I open the box and see a few letters that are stacked messily. I pick them up and lock the mail box, filling through them as I get into the elevator.

Bills.

Bills.

Phone company.

Letter from Orphanage.

I frown, turning the letter open and smiling at the words written in pen. The letters look different from lat time because Hazel has learnt how to write with pen now. She did some drawing that are also tucked into the envelope and I look at them when the elevator door opens. I close the envelope as I walk towards my apartment when I notice another one.

The Juilliard School.

My eyes widen and I freeze before turning the envelope over quickly. My feet are stuck to the floor in front of Sam and Colby's apartments and I open it swiftly.

Dear Juliet Fox,

We thank you for your application to the Juilliard School and are glad to accept your application for Semester one 2020 of music program.

My eyes water and I bolt to the doors in front of me. I knock on them rapidly and Colby's face appears and then Sam's does. Their faces and sunken with exhaustion from the last couple of days but when they notice its me, their eyes widen.

"Jules, what wro..." sam starts.

"I GOT INTO JUILLIARD!" I whisper shout and they begin cheering and hugging me. We celebrate quickly before I announce I am going back to my apartment. I open the door and run to my room when Landon is already lying in bed. "LAN! I GOT INTO JUILLIARD!" I whisper shout again. Every time I say it i still can't believe it. I really hope this isn't a dream. "JULES! OH MY GOD!" He cheers, bringing me into a warm and tight hug. I hug back when he attacks my head with kisses. I laugh and move next to him. His arm is still around me and I look up to the ceiling as I think about it.

I am going to Juilliard.

This. This night. This is my family and this is my life. And I am so thankful that I get to live this life. I am going to the best music college in America in a few months. I have my boyfriend sticking with me and loving me. My brothers who let me live a crazy life by doing stuff on camera. This is my story and It's no where near finished.
