We'll Never Fall Apart - (Joey Graceffa)

Chapter 2

Charlotte's POV

I leave the apartment with Melanie to go to work, Forever 21, and lock the door behind me. We head downstairs and exit the complex. We go over to Mel's car, a Fiat, and drive off.

"So, about Vidcon..."

"Yes, you're coming with-"

"YAY! Okay good, so what day is your meet up?"

"The 23rd."

"All right, so we have your birthday off then. Ok i have a plan, while we're probs doing nothing, we can head to the green room and socialize with other youtubers!"

"Sounds fun, but won't it be kinda awkward just to show up and act like crazy fans, since we are, and have them talk to us having no idea who we are?"

"No, we won't in fact act like crazy fangirls, we will be very professional and act like we belong, since you do. And, I'm sure they have heard of you."

"Yeah, heard of."

"Hey, don't get down on yourself, the Vidcon people emailed you and asked you to come to their event. That pretty much means that you are as important as everyone else, see?"

"Thanks, I really appreciate that, but I'm just so neverous I have never done this before.

"Don't dwell on it, just have fun with it. I bet so many people are so excited to meet you and you will make a lot of people's days or even lives."

"Oh my gosh, you make it sound like I'm Oprah or something."

"Well not that great," she smirks at me as we enter the mall parking lot.

We go through the revolving doors and go to the store. Mel takes her place at the cash register, while I get the store ready. The manager, Jackie walks through back doors and I walk towards her.

"Hey Jackie, I was wondering if Mel and I can take a week off for something important?" I ask with a tiny bit of a pouty face.

"And what is this important something?"

"Well it's a huge YouTube convention. It's called Vidcon and they asked me to be there."

"Oh yeah, your YouTubes. I heard that you hit a 100 something followers, congratulations," she tells me with a trying to understand face.

"Thank you and is that all right?"

"Yeah, sure, but as soon as you come back, you're gonna have to work extra hard missy."

"Ok don't you worry, Jackie," I squeal as I run over to tell Mel the news.

"We're good to go," as I hold up a thumbs up sign.

"Great, so should we leave on the 21st?"

"Yeah, today is the 17th so we have 4 days left before we get going."

"It's an hour trip right?"

"Yup, so we're gonna have a fun road trip together!" I say jumping up and down.

"Yeah, fun," she rolls her eyes at me and laughs.

We get off work early and start shopping for clothes for the event. I get a nice cream tank top with a jean jacket to go over it, leggings, and some nice flats. Next we go to get a manicure, since our nails look nasty, and I get the color purple, my favorite. After that, we head back home and notice that someone is moving in right below us. We go down to the apartment to introduce ourselves. He says that his name is Riley. And by the way, he was kinda cute. We go back upstairs and enter our apartment.

"Ok, you ready?" Mel asks me as we are acting out what it's like for me to meet a famous youtuber. She is acting like Zoella, one of my favs and is trying to pull off a British accent. It's hilarious!

"Yeah!" I shout back through the wall. I make my way to the living room (pretend green room) and see Mel. She walks over to me with heels on trying to be 'posh'.

"Well hello you! What's your name?" Fake Zoella asks me.

"My name is Charlotte, but you can call me Charlie."

"Oh, what a cute name and what are you here for?"

"Thanks and I'm here to do a meet up," I respond trying not to be awkward.

"Oh that's cool and what is your YouTube channel?"

"Um, CharlotteSays and what is yours?" Shit, I messed it up. Of course I know her channel, she's one the biggest ones out there.

"Pause- Charlie don't say that, it's pretty obvious what her's is."

"I know, I know. Don't you think this is a little bit silly, I mean, you're not the real Zoella, and what's the point if they are not even here."

"Yeah ok, I'll stop then."

"By the way, you pulled her off terribly," I say laughing.

"I know, but I still went with it. You gotta give me credit for that."

"Yeah, sure whatever." It is about 6 and I go to make dinner. I make spagetti with meatballs and it smells delicious.

After dinner, we head to our seperate rooms and I decide to make a quick little video about Vidcon. I get my Canon camera out and place it on the tripod. I tidy my bed a bit and start recording in front of it. I check how I look in the view finder and start speaking.

"Hey there! I'm just gonna make a short video explaining something that is going to happen. It's nothing bad or anything just a little update. So you know Vidcon and how it's coming up real soon. Just yesterday, the official peeps of Vidcon emailed me telling me that there is a spot open for me to do a meet up in! They know it's last minute, I know it's last minute, but they decided to contact me to fill the job. I was so honored to take it and started freaking out with excitement. I know you can't get tickets now, but the people that are going have a chance to meet me! I know, it's crazy, but I'm taking the chance. So this video was just putting out there that I'm going to Vidcon, for the first time ever! So I'll see you there and byeeee!" I wave to the camera and get up to stop recording. That went well, right? I hope no one gets mad at me for bringing it up so late. Oh well. I take out the card and convert the video to my laptop. There isn't really anything to edit, so I make a few trims and upload it to YouTube. When it's up, I wash my face and go to sleep.

I hoped you liked that chapter! It was a bit longer than it was in the last chapter. And I know that I brought up a new, potential character all of a sudden, but I wanted to spice it up. In the next chapter, they will be on their way to Anaheim! I will update as soon as I can and thanks!! -Lilah xx
