Welcome to the Family - A Yogscast Fanfic

Introduction - "Thanks"

It had only been a while ago, Graduation from University, that day when I picked up the camera. The first day the ping of the video alerted me. I was doing film production, now at the age of 26 I had wasted the years worth of education from those classes...Did I really waste it though? I was that quiet girl in the back who stayed to herself so why would I, Bethany Wilson: The shy, unproductive, awkwardly social girl carry a camera and Vlog herself?

Thanks a lot Chris Trott. Yeah, it was the final weeks of University and I was stuck in a group with a guy named Chris Trott. He was definitely strange - amusing more like. I got on with my work and he got on with him but he was so friendly I actually tried to become friends and lets just say he was my ONLY friend really. To this day I still believe if I had met him earlier I wouldn't of been so shy. He was like an older brother I never had, Always goofing around yet still working to his best. Chris said I should be myself, the "Sneaky, goofing person I am" but I would reply with "Now's not the place for that", That day of graduation he asked it one last time and with the usual response he shook his head took my camera from my bag and put it in my hand with the record button on.

Now back to the present. After graduation I just couldn't find a job which suited me, It was stressful and mind boggling, Youtube was succeeding however as I climbed the popularity scale in the UK with my "Down to earth, Funny and quirky Vlogs and videos" I decided I didn't need to be a film director, heck I just wanted to do what I love. Of course, No I did not make a living out of youtube (That was too much of a jump) I just quit my job and worked at the local cafe near me and continued my entertaining videos with the little extra money I got from working overtime. I lived with my Boyfriend Joshua and he was more than happy to observe me creating my own little fanbase. This wasn't a problem until my parents found out, I came to their house to announce my plan and they thought I was absolute bonkers:

"YOU QUIT YOUR STABLE JOB?" Shouted My Father

"BETHAN, ALL FOR THIS YOUTUBE MUMBO JUMBO?!" cried my mother, they couldn't believe it

"Mum, I am using the skills I learnt at Uni-"

"WHAT SKILLS?! A CAMERA ISN'T HARD TO USE BETHAN!" Hands slammed onto the table, I gritted my teeth.

"I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T OF ALLOWED YOU TO DO ENTERTAINMENT!" Silence was hurriedly pushed out of the room as noise came to inhabit the space between our mouths.

"But Mum lots of people enj-"

"NO REAL PERSON WATCHES, NO REAL PERSON DOES...DOES THIS BETHAN!" Interrupted Dad

The anger inside me just boiled when he said that line, They wanted me to think there was no real joy in my Videos, There was joy- PLENTY of joy: Joy for me and Joy for the viewers!

"Don't Call me that."

"YOUNG LADY! What did you say to your father Bethan?"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT! I AM BETHANY" I erupted and that was my brutal mistake. I was told to get out, to leave and not come back until I got my mind set. Abandon my viewers? No. I would never! I came home murmuring to Joshua. A few months went by and let's just say Joshua was beginning to doubt my life choice. He begun to agree with my parents, saying I should of just listened to them. I was furious but I loved him, What a foolish thing love is. Whenever I came home he became more aggressive, Drinking bottles and bottles, shouting with me over silly small things like turning off a light and finally I came home to find him with another lady. He kicked me out. Said he couldn't live with someone who can't deal with reality.

Things were...Uneventful To say at the least, a 26 year old living on the wage of a waiter and cleaner for a cafe down the street, Ignored by family and Recently kicked out by a trusted one. At least Bristol isn't so bad, English air and cold nights were something I grew up with. I don't go by Bethan, Bethany only to people who barely know me (Most People) and only my subscribers-no they were more than that: my friends who actually cared about me knew me as my nickname Nee. I rented a flat, Worked as waiter and cleaner Bethany by day and by most of my freetime as Nee The Youtuber. I did wander on youtbe to find Ross Hornby, Alex Smith and Chris Trott - The Guys I knew from University Were famous...More famous than me actually... They were Hat films and to be honest I was an AVID Hatter as soon as i saw the first video. Watching Hatfilms lead to becoming a Hatter which lead to watching yogscast which lead to becoming the Yognaught/Yognaut i am.

I can't help but to feel grateful for Trott's advice. What else was I to do? I wouldn't be here if Trott never helped.

"Thanks Chris." Was all I could whisper as I closed my laptop, My video was procesing, My life was slowing down now and that was all i could say.
