"so, uh i think its best if you tell us everything from the beginning" max suggested after he'd placed various cameras around the room

"yeah, when did you start the fan account?" nev asked

"four years ago, i was bored and watching some music channels then all time low came up, there was a competition to win vip tickets for their show in sydney and you needed twitter for it so i made one, it was around the time me, ash and cal started posting youtube videos on the channel i posted covers on before, so i didnt put my name or picture in case people who were fans or knew me didnt just follow me and become my friend because im luke hemmings" i took a breath before continuing "a year later people knew me as liam from new york and i used one of my friends pictures whenever people tried to say i was fake and they believed it, because i was a guy fan i had 10,000 followers, i cant remember my first username but now its @SlCKHEARTS with the 'i' being an 'l', i have like 400,000 followers now and i follow 300 people, anyway, i started talking to amanda when i hit 10,000, she hadnt seen any pictures of me and i hadnt seen any of her. her username was something like @hemm01996 after my youtube channel. we talked for about a month before we shared pictures (the pictures they sent eachother are at the top), i fell for her personality and vise versa. when she showed me her picture i was gonna tell her i was me but then the band got big, we hadnt known eachother that long and i was scared she would like me because my bands on a joint tour with all time low, so i continued to lie. i feel like this is my way of coming clean to amanda, and to meet her, as well as my other friends isabella, anna and nicole, id love to be friends with them after but im afraid theyll be mad or start to wanna get closer because im famous."

"whats amanda and your other friends twitter names?" nev asked

"amanda is @deadcutelrh, isabella is @fvckboyiuke, anna is @mukecus and nicole is @muke_gallavich" i recited

"does amanda have any pictures of her on her account?" max questioned

"her icon is a picture of her right now and she had some selfies on her account, i can show you some that shes sent me" i held up my phone, which had a picture of her in a 5YOW tour shirt on as my lockscreen, max holding the camera in front of it so he could film

"are all of the girls from LA?" nev said

"uhm yeah, nicole and anna are school friends but theyve never met amanda or isabella" i nodded

"so if we plan to meet amanda in LA, you can come clean to the other girls" max stated

"we were planning on doing that" ashton joined in "they deserve the truth to their face"

"can we see some coversations between you and amanda?" max smiled at me

"yeah" i nodded slowly "yeah"

i unlocked my phone, opening my twitter app and switching to my fan account. i quickly tweeted a picture i had taken of times square earlier before getting mine and amandas dms up then scrolling to the top of our messages from today. max positioned his camera at the side of my phone so the messages wouldnt be clear for the audience to read, nev looking over as i showed the pair our messages.

"i see lots of heart emojis and 'i love you's'" nev commented "can we record this bit?" he pointed at or recent messages, i nodded slowly before max moved his camera so the messages were readable.

"and then we left to get you guys from the airport" i told them

"okay, were going to go off and investigate a little, we'll come and tell you what we find" nev said

"okay guys, thanks a lot" i smiled as the pair walked out of the apartment to 'investigate' my girlfriend
