I wake up on the couch alone. But, there's lots of talking coming from the kitchen.

I walk in there to see everyone still here. "Ay!" Zoe greets.

"Hey Maya!" Everyone yells.

They are all making breakfast. "Heres your birthday breakfast." Alfie says.

I smile. "Aw thanks."

Everyone is crowded in the kitchen and it makes me smile because they are all so close and it's because of YouTube.

Without YouTube, Zoe would have never met Alfie.

I sit down at the table and Troye sits across from me. "How'd you sleep?"

"Good. How bout you?" I ask.

He laughs. "Pretty good. But, I did have to sleep on the floor."

I laugh and he grins big.

Alfie puts down a huge plate full of pancakes. "There ya go!"

Zoe sets down an even bigger plate of bacon. Then Tyler puts down a big fancy platter of fruit and Phil brings out a large carton of juice.

We ate our breakfast and decide to go swimming again. It's been really hot lately. Everyone gets in their swimming clothes and jumps in the pool.

A lot of them vlog, especially Zoe and Alfie. "The party's still on. Right now we're just going to swim again and stuff." Zoe says to the camera.

"Maya you never got birthday bumps." Joe states.

"What are those?" I ask.

He smirks and whispers something to Alfie who nods while smiling. "We'll show ya."

They tell me to lie down on my back so I do. Then they pick me up by my legs and arms and throw me in the air but still hang on.

"AHH!" I scream while laughing. "STOPPP!"

They both burst out laughing. "We can't until 13!" Joe says.

Once they get to 13, they carry me to the pool and swing me side to side couting.

"One, two, three!"

They throw me into the pool and I come up laughing. "you guys suck!" I laugh whole sticking out my tongue.

Everyone laughs and cheers. Alfie hops in the pool with me too. "Maya I set up your laptop too."

"Oh my god, thanks!" I yell as I hug him. He hugs back and then I swim around.

...

"Thanks for coming guys!" Zoe waves as everyone leaves.

"Byee!" I call out, waving.

They all leave and Zalfie turns to me.

"YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!" I yell as I hug them, taking them by surprise.

They laugh. "Your welcome Maya."

"Thank you so much for everything."
