"Em!" Shouted Sam grumpily from upstairs.
"What" I reply pushing my self of the sofa walking toward her room.
"Do we have any ibuprofens something?" She says her voice beginning to crack.
"No I don't think so-"
"Go pick me up so paracetamol, my head is killin' me!" She shouts. For having a bad headache, she sure ain't quite. I sigh, "Fine, I'll be back in ten".

I grab my keys from the side, swing open my door and rush down my apartment stairs. I walk along the path humming a tune I don't even know where from. Gosh I hate Sam some times I'm not her slave, she does forget I have my own life some times but I'd do anything for her.

I arrive and my local Tesco, it's only a ten minute walk from my house. I walk up and down the shelves of the supermarket struggling to look for the meds, finally I see it and start jogging to the pharmacy part when.....
"Oh my gosh im so sorry" i hear as I'm falling to the floor landing awkwardly on my wrist.
"It's alight" I said brushing my self off till I look down at my hand. Shit.
"Ouch" the voice said, "that doesn't look right, you need to go to the hospital- like now". The man helped me up.
"I would but have no way of getting there so-" I said looking down at my hand.
"I can take you" he suggested.
"I don't even know you" I said looking into his eyes for the first time "wait I do recognise you"
"Yeah I know you too, your Ashley emerald"
"And your tom, Tom syndicate?" I said just clicking that I was talking to the one and only syndicate "I mean Tom castle"
"It's Cassel actually, and yeah that's me. I found your channel the other day, I love your vids your so funny and hotter in real life - wait I just said that out loud" he said flushing a tint of red.
"I'm afraid so" I said some how going redder. Curse these involuntary acts of embarrassment.
"Come on I'll take you to the hospital" he said taking my 'injured hand' and pulling me out to the car park. He led me to his car. I was kind of still in shock meeting a guy who has been my idol for god knows how long.
"Wow, nice ride" I said checking out his car.
"Thanks it's new" he said hopping in the car, whilst I clambered into the passenger seat next to him.
"I watch your videos too by the way, your so funny too" I say smiling "and hot" I say Inaudibly under my breath.
"Why thank you. I really enjoying this series that I'm doing at the moment, it's called Mianite" he says starting up the engine.
"I know all about Mianite Sonja tells me about how much fun it is all the time" I say laughing and mine and my cousins chats.
"You know sonja" toms asks clearly puzzled by the statement.
"Yeah she is my cousin" I say like its the most obvious thing in the world.
"Really I never new that" he says genuinely surprised.
"Yeah, I do vids with her some times but I haven't seen her in years"
"That's cool, sad you haven't seen her tho" he says with a sympathetic smile "I'll have to do vids with you some times" he suggested changing the subject.
"I'd love that" I said excitedly clapping.
"I'll text you - can I have your number?" He says so causally.

*smooth Tom smooth*

"Yeah but I don't have my phone on me, tweet me later and I'll direct message you" I say laughing at his offer I was taken back by.
"Okay, what your- let me guess omg it's emerald" he chuckles.
"Why you know me so well Thomas" I joke.
"I'd love to get to know you anytime Ashly Emerald- Anyway we are here. Let's get this hand seeing to" he says unbuckling his seat belt and hopping out the the car.
"Okay" I said climbing out the car following Tom to the hospital.

*20 minutes later*

"They said we gotta wait till they call" Tom said walking over to me.
"So in three hours they'll see to my hand" I said looking down, feeling guilty about Sam before reminding my self that I am not her slave.
"Probably" he laughed.
"Thanks for bringing me Tom. You don't have to stay you know. I'm a big girl I can take care of my self" I say no wanting him to be pressured into staying here at this god forsaken hospital for hours.
"But how would you get home, and plus I want to" he whispers the last part leaning back in his seat.
"Thank you" I said great-fully looking over
"So, tell me about your self. I want to get to know you"
"Okay well my full name is Ashly emerald Parker. I am 18 years old, and live with my best friend Sam. My life is YouTube and having a good time which mainly consists of getting very drunk. Uh... I live in Manchester. Most my family live in Canada now. Uh that's probably it" I say not really wanting not to go into much more detail at my most definitely boring life hoping not to scare him away.
"There must be more" he says tiredly.
"Well a bit.... Tell me about you" I say curiously, it's not often you get to speak to someone you respect so much.
"I am Tom Cassell, I am 21 years old. I have my own house in Manchester- of course but part time live in the US with my friend tucker and this gamer shore house well it's not much of one anymore- anyway it's a long story. I love my job and my life and wouldn't have it any other way"
"Wow, how many subs do you have on YouTube?" Even tho I already knew the answer to that, well I haven't watched him in a while but it can't have gone up much. 
"About 8 million i think, I've grown a lot in the last few years from minecraft mainly. What about you?" He says sitting up straight and looking directly into my eyes. I guess his YouTube channel has grown.. A lot.
Coming out of my train of thought I decide to answer his question "Just hit 1 million, I'm still growing and would love to do it full time tho"
"Don't get enough money from YouTube?" He questioned genuinely puzzled as most people with my viewership would.
"Not enough to look after Sam she is a bit of a hand full-- and well I need a fair bit of money to go out as much as I do" i reply not really wanting to get to much into to detail about my Financial struggles.
"Haha I had simpler problems before, when my channel really took of I dropped out of college and started this career properly" he says leaning back again.
An awkward silence is formed and shift in it, not being able to escape thought the familiarity and anti social screen of my phone. So I change the subject slightly,  "I've seen pictures of your PC set up. It looks dope."
He laughs and replies "Yeah, I love it. What about yours?"
"It's alright, not the best tho. I got crappy head set, keeps messing up" I chuckle at the shittyness of my set up.
"Ohh" he says slightly back with answer.
"Yeah can get fucking annoying some times" I say before we both burst out laughing for pretty much no reason granting plenty of stares from people in the waiting area.

*2 hours and 40 minutes of chatting later*

"Wow your hands fucked up" Tom says behind me as I headed to his car.
"Was fucked up thomas, was fucked up by YOU" I say spinning round to face Tom, skipping backwards toward his car.
"My deepest apologies" he says putting his hand on his heart.
"I should think your sorr-" I say but stopped as started to fall backward as must have tripped. Before large hands catch my waist and stop me for falling.
"Caught you" Tom said standing me up. I flush with embarrassment.
"Still doesn't make up for messing up my fingers!" I say getting into toms car.
"Shut up" joked Tom getting into the divers side of his car.
He started the car whist saying  "before I drop you off want to come to mine?".
"Yeah okay, but I can't stay long. I've got to get back to Sam" I say realising my responsibility for her.
"Your not her mum" Tom says seemingly annoyed by my words.
"I know but-" I begin
"But what, she will be fine"  he says gripping the swearing wheel tighter.
"Okay, thomas" I said playfully punching his arm lighting the mood.
"It's not far it mine" he says smiling once again
"Really? You probably don't live far from me" I say leaning back in my seat a little.
"Yeah I never knew, we could have been best friends forever" he jokes.
"What school did you go to?" I ask now curious.
"(Insert name here)"
"Omg same, probably didn't know you tho as your a few years above me" I say slightly saddened by the absence of Tom from my childhood because we probably would have been great friends.
"Yeah, we probably seen each other loads of times not even realised it" he says shaking his head still keeping his eyes focused on the road.
"It's a small world"
