Its ten o'clock in the morning. The birds are chirping, the wind is blowing a nice, steady breeze. The sun is out and casting a comfortable warmth on everyone outside. The trees and grass are a bright green. Dogs and children are playing outside. It's honestly a beautiful day today. One of the best days yet. Too bad I'll be spending it inside on the computer all day. I still can't believe I signed up for this. Its not like I'm going to win.

"Now where are my keys?" I walk into my kitchen and see them sitting on the counter, my key chain with my name on it flashing with bright lights. I love this key chain so much. It was custom made for me by a family friend because what are the odds you are going to find the name Madly on anything? Its a weird name, I keep telling myself, but its truly beautiful.

My parents told me when I was young that my name stood for Mommy And Daddy Love You. A tear rolls down my cheek as I remember them. They died in a house fire only two months ago. I had made it out, along with my three other siblings. My parents went back in the house to try and save our two dogs, but the house collapsed as soon as they stepped through the door. My younger sister, being fourteen, and my little twin brothers, being nine, were put up for adoption. I, being nineteen, inherited all of my parents money and whatever could be saved from the fire, and the government provided me with a condo that was all paid for. I just had to pay water, electric, etc.

I shake the memory out of my head and grab my keys. I run to the bathroom mirror one last time. I pick up a brush and brush back my thick, brown, curly hair one more time, being self conscious that I looked alright. I decide to put on some last minute lip gloss and mascara, and I head out the door.

I step into the long hallway of other condos, looking at each of the doors. This complex allowed us to design the outside of our front door how ever we wanted. All of them are painted how the house owner wants them painted. The hallways are a normal beige though. I see doors that have flowers, cats, graffiti , and some are just plain dark oak brown for the people who didn't care what their door looked like. I turn around and look at my door. Its got a fire colored ombre background/base. Painted on the bottom of my door is a mini Minecraft world that kind of faded into the warm colors of the background. Just above that are the Minecraft skins of the pack, a group of youtubers I watch. At the top is my name, but the letters were blue flames. I really like fire and the colors it makes. Preston is my favorite out of the pack because he is lava and fire. He's also the nicest, funniest, and in my opinion, the cutest.

I walk along the hall and pass a door I always look at. It's got Preston's animated Minecraft skin, like on his youtube profile picture. Underneath that was a painting of him and Lachlan doing parkour and next to that was a painting of him and Rob playing factions, like the banner on his youtube. I noticed something about the door that was different though. The doorknob was jammed. The room was cracked open and it couldn't close. Should I go in? I tell myself no, but my feet are already moving closer to the door. I open it and look in side, and I swear I almost faint.

This....this is Preston's house. We live in the same condo building?! I've only lived here for two months, and he was in California for a bit too. He got back to Texas like three days ago, he said in a vlog. I go inside and shut the door as best I could behind me. There was no one here, but a whole bunch of his stuff was here. I see blankets on the couch and on the bed, along with a couple mattresses on the floor. So the whole pack is staying here. Makes sense, the competitions and all. I got into the bedroom and see clothes lying on the ground. Clothes and pjs. I look on my phone. 10:12. The competition starts at 11:30 and I can walk there in fifteen minutes. So I decided to do something, not because I'm a stalker, but because I don't want anything to happen to the stuff. I make about 15 trips back and forth collecting all the valuable items and putting them in my house so they don't get stolen, and yes, I even dismounted the TV. Its the least I can do considering they were probably kidnapped in their sleep for us, the fans.

Then I remember who I'm trying to win today. I look around the room until I find a suitcase labeled with a lego piece with his name on it. Its still full of all his stuff. I zip it up and bring it with me. This should help, I hope. I can do this with all the guys. Satisfied with my work, I close the door as best I can, again, and head into the elevator to try to win Lachlan.
