The New Click

A Proposal

     The next couple of days went by like a flash. I started to eat and talk more. Soon enough, I was cleaning up my room little by little. Of course I had my days, but that's when I was able to hang with Cray and play random games with him, on stream and off. I was genuinely becoming happier. 

     With this new found happiness, I started to brainstorm ideas for YouTube videos. I researched more trends and got some practice before I embarrassed myself on the Internet, more than usual. But first, my return video... It was a struggle to know if I was actually ready to come back or not, but at least I knew I had people in my corner to cheer me on if anything bad happened. 

     After sitting on my bed, staring at my camera setup, I eventually gained the courage to film it. I sighed and made myself comfortable on the floor, like every other return video ever. I turned the camera on and smiled, "Hey guys, (Y/N) here, and... welcome back." I didn't make it long, maybe five or six minutes after I edit my stuttering and mishaps? Who knows? However, to sum it up, I briefly summed up the past week without going into too much detail for obvious reasons. It felt good to just sit and talk to whoever wanted to listen. It made me feel so much better and after I edited it quickly, I pressed publish and watched as people commented their support. It almost brought me to tears to see the amount of people who seemed to be excited to see me back. 

     A message then went through my phone and I saw that the sender was Kath. I smiled and opened the text immediately: "Hey! Wondering if you're free?" I pondered a minute to asses the situation and texted back that I was. Maybe she just wanted to hang out? Kinda sudden, but fine nonetheless. I mean, why would I say no to one of my most favourite people on the planet? "Why don't we go and grab something to eat? I'm starving and Marcus is busy :,(" I laughed at her Marcus comment, damn sometimes she really is attached to him. We messaged a bit before settling on a nearby coffee shop. I then scurried to change into more 'going-out' clothes while wondering what was on her mind. Could it be the video? Maybe something with another housemate? I genuinely had no clue. 

     We had arrived by ourselves after some commotion with the boys before we left. They felt as if it was their duty to bother us til no end, and wouldn't let us go unless we brought them back something. We agreed, of course, and ended up getting one coffee for them to share. It was the perfect gesture for both politeness and revenge. When we got our order, Kath found a really cute booth near the front of the shop with a window. We chatted about various things like Marcus to YouTube to cooking and so on. Until Kath got on the topic of Click. "So, I actually met with the rest of the house to talk about something." I gulped, "Ok?" I raised an eyebrow as I took a sip of my drink. "All good things! I swear! But, we did want to propose an idea to you since you leave soon." Oh Shoot. I totally forgot that I didn't actually live in the house. I was just supposed to stay for a couple of weeks. Shocker. I nodded so she could continue, "Now I do want you to think about this, but would you like to officially become a part of Click? We figured since you fit in so well, it wouldn't be much of a problem to add you apart of the group officially."

     I froze, they actually wanted me to be apart of Click? I mean, the answer seemed pretty obvious. But maybe it needed some thought? Especially with all of the legal nonsense that goes on behind the scenes with rent and whatnot. "I... will definitely think about it," I told her, giving her a reassuring smile. She smiled back and nodded, "Of course, please think about it. It would just be a year contract, you can bail out at anytime for any reason. There will be more with the contract regarding things like rent and stuff, but I just wanted to have you think about it a little bit before you leave us." Her smile faded slightly at the comment of leaving. It was understandable since this was my best friend from high school. We went through hell together. So, for her to see me leave again, must be hard for her at least a little bit. I got up and instantly hugged her, she returning it almost instantly. It would be a dream to be with my best friend again, since I wasn't able to see her for years because of him. However, there's always a downside to things like a falling out of the group, what would happen then? You just never know...

     We got back and we went our rooms to do whatever. I didn't have much on the agenda so I sat and began to look through some fun games to get into. There was a sudden knock that almost gave me a heart attack, "Yeah?" I called and heard Crays voice. "Hey! Open the door!" I stood and opened the door to then be pushed over by him. I stumbled a second as he made himself comfortable on my bed. "Cray, what the fuck?" I asked raising an eyebrow to him, closing the door. "Well hello to you too. I got bored so I decided to invade your room," he said with a happy smile. I paused and stared for a minute before accepting whatever logic he was going off of. I resumed my research as he curiously peered behind me. "I heard you were finally back doing videos again? How about that?" I smiled a little, "Yeah, thought it was about time to get back to the grind." A small silence took over before he spoke again, "So, what actually happened?"

     I froze, noticing that his tone changed. Obviously, this was bound to happen since he saw my scars and I gave him the lame overview of what's been happening. I mentally sighed and spun myself around, looking into Cray's comforting eyes. "Actually happened when?" I asked causing him to scoff, "when ya went on break (Y/N), you were obviously dealing with some mental shit, so I wanna know why." It's not that I didn't want to tell him, it's mostly because I knew that HE was still out there. The more I tell people, the more vulnerable I become to his mischief again. It seemed more of a safety reason to keep things to myself. But, Cray was different than him, obviously. He was open to hearing me out, wanted to comfort me in whatever I was dealing with. He was willing to take that on regardless of the precautions. I mean, he already knew a lot knowing about the scars, would the complete story make things different. 

Am I ready to say the complete story?

----- 

     AND with that, that is the end of this chapter! This one took me a little longer to put together since it's going off the rails of what I originally planned, but that's what happens regardless with stories. I do also want to mention that next chapter is going to be the last PLANNED chapter for this story. I might write a quick chapter about the reader leaving and then, of course, clean up the chapters from the beginning. However, this story is close to the end so I hope you guys are ready :) I'm so sorry about the delayed chapters, but hang in there with me, it'll be good, I promise!
