Dahlia's outfit:

Kit's outfit:

Dahlia's POV

************

"Stop fucking looking at me." I muttered, my brows furrowing in annoyance as I squeezed my eyes closed even tighter. Billie reached under the cover and grabbed my hand, squeezing it.

"But you're so beautiful and I love you." She whined.

"I don't give a fuck. Stop looking at me."

"You're mean when you're just waking up." She huffed.

"I'm not awake." I mumbled before turning away from her and burying my face in my pillow. She scooted closer to me and put her cold ass legs against mine. If I'd had the energy, I would've throat punched her.

"Wake up! I'm bored." She sighed.

"I don't give a fuck what you are. I—"

"I hate you bitches." Kit mumbled from the bed beside us. "It's fucking 10 am. Go the fuck back to sleep."

"Tell 'em daddy." Bea murmured before snoring again. I finally opened my eyes and watched as Kit smirked at Bea who was lying beside her.

Bea was closest to me, so I could see that Kit's arm was wrapped loosely around her waist. "I thought you didn't cuddle." I grinned.

"This ain't no fucking cuddling," Kit shook her head before removing her arm. "I was just trying to keep her ass from rolling off the bed. It ain't exactly a lot of space over here. Orb's taking up most of it."

"Hey!" Ori shouted defensively. "I'm literally on the edge! You guys have plenty of space!"

"Yeah, just be glad you're not sharing a bed with Cadence." I rolled my eyes, pointing my thumb in her direction.

"I don't know, I like sharing a bed with Cadence. She doesn't complain about my cold legs and she didn't mind cuddling me last night." Billie muttered.

I turned to look at her and saw that she now had her arms wrapped around Cadence's shoulders. Gigi was on the other side of Cadence, grinning.

"Yes, it was comfortable. Cadence was cozy. It was like she was in a Gigi and Billie sandwich!" He said excitedly.

"Good for you guys. It's too damn hot for me to be cuddling, though." I mumbled before turning around again.

I was just about to dose off again when I felt something poking me on the ass. I groaned as the poking persisted and tried to scoot away, but I was already on the edge of the bed so I couldn't move too far away.

"Billie, your dick is hard. Move it away." I grumbled.

She let out a loud snort. "That's Cadence's knee."

"Why the fuck is Cadence's knee all the way over here?" I huffed. I'm so over this. I miss my big bed in my big beautiful room. I miss having that bed all to myself! I miss not having to listen to Heidi's loud snoring. She's on the floor at the end of our bed, but I can still hear her ass. I miss not sharing a room with anyone.

"Mind your business, bitch." Cadence mumbled before pressing her knee even farther into my butt cheek. I tried once again to get away from her and ended up falling face-first onto the ground.

Everyone gasped and I heard people shuffling around, probably sitting up to look at me. "It's okay, I'm fine. I have a better chance of getting some sleep down here anyway." I sighed.

"You hoes ain't gone act right," Kit sighed. "Time to get the fuck up." I heard her feet hit the ground and then she walked over to me, shaking me with her foot. "You straight?"

"No, gay." I mumbled before closing my eyes again.

***

I woke up about an hour later, still on the floor. I was much more willing to wake up this time around. I grunted as I stood up and looked around, noticing that everyone else was sleeping once again too. I smirked as I noticed that Kit was lying on the bed, her arm once again draped over Bea.

I stood over her and poked her nose a few times until she crinkled it and slowly opened her eyes. She stared at me blankly for a few moments before finally speaking. "The fuck do you want?"

"You two are cuddling." I grinned.

"Don't fucking wake me up again unless you're trying to give me some head." She mumbled before closing her eyes again.

I shrugged before going to get some clothes out of my suitcase and then practically skipping into the bathroom to take a shower.

My shower was about twenty minutes long. Ten of those minutes were spent with me humming songs to myself and showering in peace, and the other ten minutes were spent talking to my Nana.

"I can't talk right now, Nana, I'm actually in the shower right now." I told her after answering the phone and letting it rest on the shelf beside the shower.

"You can't bathe your ass and talk at the same time?" She questioned. She didn't give me time to answer before she started talking again. "Honey, I've called because your father is dead."

"What? No, he's not. I texted him a few minutes before I got into the shower!" I told her, panicked.

"I mean he's dead to me." She corrected.

I rolled my eyes and let out a small sigh of relief. "You really shouldn't take such a big pause when saying stuff like that, Nana. What'd he do to you, anyway?"

"Your grandfather and his whore, Genevieve, are getting married!" She exclaimed.

"Aw, that's so sweet!"

"So sweet my wrinkly little ass! The only reason those bastards are getting married is because they heard that me and Ms. Harmon's husband are planning to get engaged soon!"

"Why do you think that? And how would they know that?"

"Well, Rosemary Harmon is the biggest blabbermouth in the free world and she happens to be friends with Susanna—Remember? Your grandfather's other whore?—And Susanna happens to be good friends with Genevieve. That's how she and your granddaddy met and started fooling around! Genevieve is so damn stupid that she still doesn't even know about that, but that's none of my business!" She explained quickly.

"So anyway, Mr. Harmon must've told Ms. Harmon that he planned to propose to me—That old fool. He's such a damn gentleman, I hate him! He was probably asking for her blessing—And then she probably went and told Susanna who told Genevieve who told your granddaddy! And you know that bastard always has to try to one-up me so he probably took Genevieve to the closest ring shop near them and asked her to marry him just to piss me off!"

"Or maybe they're just getting married because they love each other."

"Ha!" She chuckled. "They've been together for a long, long time and they've never cared about marriage until now!"

"Okay, but what does this have to do with dad?"

"I called his ass and told him to tell his daddy that I said to suck my left titty again because you know I blocked your granddaddy's number and I don't know how to unblock it so I can't tell him myself! And not only did Joseph refuse to tell him that for me, but he also refused to boycott their wedding and he spent half the time I was talking to him questioning me about my future marriage!" She huffed.

"But that's not even the worst of it! You know he and Josephine are on their little vacation right now and I told him I'd be by the house whenever they got back to give them a few gifts for my future grandbaby and he damn near cussed me out for trying to be nice!"

"Nana, Josephine isn't pregnant," I sighed. "And I have a feeling that he didn't 'damn near cuss you out'."

"He said, and I quote, 'Why the hell do you think she's pregnant?' He might as well have spit on my future gravestone!"

"So, you called me to tell me that you're mad at my dad?" I questioned.

"Oh, no. I called to ask you if you could help me make a Facebook account whenever you get back from vacation. I need to make one so that way I can keep up with your father's life and write mean things about Rosemary and Genevieve on their timelines every morning before I go on about my day."

"Um—"

"I asked Denver but he told me he was too busy cause he's preparing for the baby and he's working a lot, you know? Which reminded me that I need to stop by and see how he's doing and make sure he's eating enough. That boy is a little too lean for me. He's always been a skinny thing—" Not according to Julia, I thought to myself as I let out a snort. "—And I'm too mad at your father to ask him to help me and I know even if I did he'd just say no because he'd assume I was only making one to spy on him. He always assumes the worst!"

"But...Isn't that what you just said the purpose of making one would be?"

"Yes. He still doesn't always have to assume the worst about me, though. Anyway, I should've made Facebook long ago. I have six kids to keep an eye on, after all."

"I don't know if you making a Facebook is the best idea..." I mumbled, thinking about my nude. Nana must be a fucking mind reader.

"Oh, honey, don't you worry about me seeing that naked picture of you! I've known you since before you had them perky little bitties!"

I cringed. "How'd you know about that picture?"

"Rosemary Harmon is a real blabbermouth." She repeated. "So, anyway, you'll help me make one when you get back, right?"

"I—I guess." I sighed.

"Thank you! Now, listen, I need to go cause I have to call your uncle Jep and see what's going on with him and his wife. You know, last week they got into an argument because Jep wanted to go bungee jumping with your uncle Jax and Rachel wasn't happy about that at all. And rightfully so! Jax is a 24-year-old child and Jep is a 39-year-old full-grown man! If the chord snaps and they fall a couple thousand feet, which one of them do you think has a better chance of surviving?!"

"Well, neither—"

"So, they had a big fight and Rachel and their babies, Korey, Kendall, and Penny, have been staying with Rachel's friend Angela—"

"Nana, don't you think that you shouldn't be, like...Telling me all their business?" I snickered.

"Well, Hell, if they didn't want me telling people about it then they should've never told me."

"Yeah, but did they tell you?"

"...Well, No, but Angela knows a friend of Ms. Harmon's and—"

"Ah. I see." I smirked. "Bye, Nana."

"Bye, Dahlia! Tell Bunni I said hi!"

When I finished talking to her, I got out of the shower and put on my outfit before walking out of the bathroom. The second I did, the sound of yelling filled my ears.

"—WE'RE NOT GOING TO WATCH SOME LAME ASS MOVIE WHEN WE COULD SPEND OUR DAY DOING SOMETHING BETTER!"

"IT ISN'T LAME AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU SAY, I'M NOT SPENDING MY DAY OUTSIDE! IT'S LIKE A HUNDRED AND FIVE DEGREES OUT!"

"YOU GUYS ARE STUPID AS FUCK! BOTH YOUR IDEAS WERE LAME! WE SHOULD SPEND TODAY AT THAT NEW PIZZA PLACE—"

"SHUT UP CADEN!"

I leaned against the wall and stared blankly at all my friends as they bickered with one another. It seems like none of them could decide on where they wanted to go and what they wanted to spend their day doing today.

I expected the argument to end after a few minutes, but I literally stood there for, like, ten minutes and there was no end in sight. After I got sick of the yelling, I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off the wall before going over to the TV and connecting my phone to it.

I scrolled through my music until I found the song I was looking for, turned the volume on my phone and on the TV up, and then pressed play.

Everyone stopped yelling as 'Deepthroat' blasted throughout the room and I smirked as I watched all their facial expressions.

I played about a minute of the song before finally turning it off and placing my hands on my hips.

"This shit is unacceptable." I shook my head.

"Yeah, you're telling me!" Billie spat, walking closer to me. "You don't look like a slut at all! We talked about this! Where the fuck are your booty shorts? Why can't I see your boobs? Winter is coming sooner than you think, Dahlia, we don't have time to be modest!" She yelled, tapping the invisible watch on her wrist.

I ignored her. "You guys are all being ridiculous. You're gonna fuck around and end up arguing about what to do all day rather than actually doing something."

"Ori wants to spend all day at the movie theater watching some lame sci-fi movie marathon, Hudson wants to spend all day at fucking Sephora waiting for some lame beauty palette to come out, and Gigi wants to spend his day scorching to death in the blazing sun at the beach again." Cora rolled her eyes. "All that shit is lame!"

"I would not want to go to the beach again if pretty Cadence would just agree to wear swimsuit no matter where we go!" Gigi huffed.

"Valid point." Kit nodded.

"And you're one to talk about scorching to death. You literally suggested that we go on a hike today!" Kai scoffed.

"Hey, I'm trying out to be a cheerleader my sophomore year and I have to get my body right before I do!" Cora shouted defensively.

"A cheerleader? Oh, no, no, no. I've seen the cheerleader uniforms at our school and I am not gonna let my future sister in law wear that in front of a whole bunch of jocks!" Billie shook her head.

"I'm turning sixteen in three months and you guys still treat me like I'm five years old!" Cora scoffed.

"Yeah, that's tragic and all, but that's completely beside the point. The point is, we need to figure out what we're gonna do today!" Jules sighed.

"Why can't we all just do different things?" Madi questioned.

"Because we did different things for most of yesterday! We can't make that a habit! This summer is all about us as a whole! Spending time together! As a group!" Jessica exclaimed.

"Well, if we don't stop yelling soon, we're all gonna be getting kicked out of this hotel as a group." I rolled my eyes. "Here's an idea! Why don't you guys let me pick what we get to do today?"

"Why would we do that?" Billie raised a brow.

"Because I know all of you well and I think I could find something that we'd all enjoy!" I smiled brightly.

"But—"

"If you have any plans of touching me ever again, you'll agree." I whispered to her.

She sighed.

"Yeah, I vote we let Dahlia choose what we do today."

***

"I regret voting to let Dahlia choose what we did today." Billie mumbled as she stared at the building in front of us.

"I haven't been inside a Chuck E. Cheese since I was eight! And I'm glad too, cause of the whole pizza conspiracy." Jules laughed.

"I do not wanna be here! I'm terrified of the animatronics and I don't like children! This is the most chaotic establishment you could possibly step foot in!" Hudson whined.

"Yeah, I don't wanna be here either. I was banned from Chuck E. Cheese for life when I was ten." Ken shook her head and held a hand up to stop us from asking questions. "I don't wanna talk about it."

"Yo, I don't mind this. I fuck with Chuck." Kit shrugged before wrapping an arm around my shoulder and then staring down at me. "Good job, Doe."

I melted.

"You guys, we're gonna go in here and have a great time whether you like it or not, so you might as well just stop complaining!" Heidi said, jumping in front of us and clapping her hands.

I grinned and nodded appreciatively at her as I stepped forward to open the door. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the sound of screaming children, the sight of crying kids crawling along the floor and protesting as their parents told them that it was time to leave, and the smell of possibly not so freshly made pizza, and sweat.

Why did I think coming to Chuck E. Cheese was a good idea?

"Oh my god, hurry up and get some coins, the guitar hero machine is free right now!" Cadence screamed, jumping up and down in her spot.

Oh yeah.

We ended up getting those 'All you can play' cards instead of coins because we figured we'd be here for a pretty long time.

After we got our cards, we all went our separate ways. I was gonna ask Billie if she wanted to play guitar hero with me and Cadence, but when I turned around to ask her I noticed that she wasn't there.

I looked around for her, wondering how she'd managed to move out of sight so quickly, but then I saw that she was just a few feet away, shoving two kids out of the way so that she could get a turn at the walking dead game. I shrugged to myself before practically skipping over to the guitar hero machine.

Just as I was about to get to it, somebody stepped in front of me. My eyes widened and I let out an annoyed groan as I saw the blonde bitch in front of me.

"Hey, you're the girl with the stupid name who dressed like a slut at the aquarium!" She grinned. "What was your name? Dookie?"

"Aw, nice to see you again, Musty." I smiled fakely.

"Of course it is!" She giggled, flipping her hair. "You don't look like a slut today! That's cool! Your clothes are still ugly, but..." She shrugged.

"I see you're still decked out in pink!" I chuckled, looking her up and down. She had pink, sparkly princess high heels on, pink pants with pink hearts all over them, a pink shirt with pink polka dots, and a huge pink bow on her head to match. "I'm sorry, I don't understand how you can stand here trying to judge my outfit when you look like a humongous volcano filled with ugly, pink goo erupted and exploded all over you." I shook my head.

"That's okay. You look pretty dumb, so I'm guessing you don't understand a lot of things." She smirked. "Where's that girl? The one who bought me ice cream? Is she here?" She questioned, peeking around me. "She was really cool!"

Okay, I literally love Billie, but, like, how could this little bitch like her better than me? She dresses in humongous ass, dark ass clothes and this girl clearly doesn't like that. My clothes seem like they'd be a little more her style! Why is she coming for me and not Billie?

"Yes, she is here, and she's my girlfriend so back off." I rolled my eyes. "She's not gonna wanna be your friend or whatever since you've been so mean to me."

"You're a liar." She scoffed.

"What do you mean I'm a liar?"

"She's really pretty, and cool, and she does a really good baby voice, and she told me she's rich. She's awesome! Why would she be with you?" She cackled. "You seem like kind of a loser."

"And you seem like an absolute bitch!" I growled. "You make yourself look so ugly because of your attitude, you know that right?"

"Once again, you're lying." She smirked.

"Girl—"

"I can't possibly be ugly! I'm a pageant queen!" She giggled. "I've been in over 57 pageants and guess how many I've won."

"How many?" I questioned curiously.

"46. How many have you won, Raggedy Ann?"

I gasped loudly and held a hand over my heart as she insulted me. "Well, you know what?! I bet if I was competing against you in a pageant I'd win! At least my body would be able to fill out my dress."

"I guess we'll never know. They usually don't let animals enter beauty pageants." She scoffed. "And BTW, your body wouldn't even be able to fit into your dress."

"Seriously, where are your parents?!"

"Making out in the car." She shrugged.

Yuck. "Well, I'm gonna tell them how much of a bitch you're being if you don't back off." I threatened. "Then I bet you'll get in trouble and you won't get to stay here and play."

"They'd never believe you if you said I was being bad. I'm too cute!" She grinned. "Ever since I lost my teeth, I've had them wrapped around my finger." She pointed at her missing two front teeth, her smile widening.

"Oh, they like your missing teeth?" I questioned. She nodded. "Well, that's good, cause guess what? You keep fucking talking to me and you're gonna be missing a whole lot more. I dare you to—"

"Damn, Billie, I guess you weren't exaggerating the other day."

My eyes widened as I heard Kit's voice behind me. I turned my head to look, and there she and Billie were, standing there staring at me like I was crazy.

"I'm s-sorry, Mrs. Dahlia, I won't get in your way again!" The dumb bitch fake cried, wiping invisible tears away as she tried to muster up some real ones.

"Dahlia, this is seriously terrible! How could you treat this little angel baby like that?" Billie shook her head as she went over to the little demon and picked her up.

"Bro, I swear to god—"

"No, I can't even look at you right now!" She huffed. "Don't talk to me until you've got enough tickets to get me one of those huge bears I like."

She started to walk off but then quickly turned to face me again. "Oh, and ugh—I really would like one of those little toy guns that shoot out confetti—Oh nevermind, just—I can't even look at you right now!" She actually stormed off after that.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head as I turned to look at Kit who was smirking. "What?" I questioned.

"I can tell that little girls evil just by looking into her beady little eyes." She told me.

"Then why didn't you say anything to Billie?!"

"What would've been the fun in that?"

A/N: this chapter is a lil more important than it seems I promise!

Idk how much I'll be updating over the next few days because this is the last chapter I have written and rn I'm busy planning and setting stuff up for the sequel 😏 so I haven't had time to write. 🖤
