[Sean's POV]

I rolled over and grumbled as I face planted the empty bed next to me, frowning when I realised that Mark had vanished. I sat up slowly and looked around, nodding slightly when I heard the shower running. Today was the day Mark left to go back to LA and I seriously did not know how I was going to cope without him, he had been like a little saviour that I could turn to whenever needs be, but now he was leaving. I scrambled out of bed and over to my drawers, picking out some jeans and my red long sleeved top before sitting on the bed and waiting for Mark to finish in the shower.

I hated the thought of not having my best friend here with me, if his whole life wasn't back home then I'd definitely have him here living with me. It gets lonely in this apartment, especially now all my flatmates had moved out and I was left on my own. I needed Mark, Felix, Wade, Aaron and Bob to move in (or any other youtubers that were willing to live with me), but I'm just a stupid Irishman that needs to be alone.

Mark appeared in the doorway and smiled over at me, tilting his head slightly.

"No offence Sean, but I think it's time for you to shower." I looked at him and placed my hand on my heart, pretending to be hurt.

"I just want to spend as much time as possible with you before you go." I replied sadly, he walked over to me and placed his arm around my shoulder, half hugging me.

"I've got two videos to upload, mine and yours, so go and have a shower and I'll be all done and dusted by the time you get out." I sighed and nodded, getting up and heading for the bathroom.

"Thank you for this Mark, for everything." He smiled widely at me before ushering me into the bathroom, I changed out of my clothes and placed them on a hook so I could put them back on once I had showered and turned the shower on. The room soon filled up like a sauna and I stepped into the steamy shower, relaxing when the hot water hit my body. I'd never been one for spending a long time in the shower but it felt nice to just relax, knowing that my viewers were going to get something that they were guaranteed to enjoy and knowing that my best friend was just outside the door was the best feeling.

However I knew it wasn't going to stay, Mark was leaving and I wasn't going to see him again for a long time. I could fly out and see him but that took a lot of time and effort, especially with being a Youtuber as you have to pre-record and make the viewers aware that you aren't going to be able to reply to comments as often. It was something I hated the thought of, I knew I'd been slacking in replying recently but I was determined to answer as many comments as possible on the new vlog, no matter what because they need to know that they do mean the world to me and I'm not just going to give up on them because I'm sad. It's not fair and I can't do it.

After we'd finished uploading and packing, we grabbed a taxi to the airport and were now stood inside, waiting for Mark's plane number to be called. I lowered my head as I felt my heart ache, I couldn't do this without Mark, he'd been the person holding me together for the past few days. I looked back up again when I felt Mark take my hand in his, massaging it again like he had been doing previously.

"Hey, look at me. I know what you're thinking and I can tell that you're sad, but please don't be. I'm not going miles away, granted it takes a while to reach me but you can text me or call me whenever you need to okay? I'm always going to be here for you and I want you to know that, don't ever think that because I'm not here with you that you can't do it because you can. I know you can, I've seen how strong you can be and how happy you look when you're recording. The joy that was on your face when you had the camera on you was amazing and I want to see you back on your channel kicking some ass okay? You've got dying light, you've got Happy Wheels, you have so many games that you need to play and get out there. But most of all, you have me." By this point I was sobbing, I loved this man so much and I couldn't ask for a better best friend.

"If you need me to record a collab with you to motivate you then sure, tell me and we'll get straight to it. Just don't give up on the thing that you love doing the most because you're making so many people happy and I want you to be happy yourself. You're so important to these people and me so please go back to your usual ways, it's been a while since the break up and I know you're still suffering but it will all go away when you get back into recording. Just don't give up on yourself Sean, for me."

I thanked him and pulled him into a tight embrace, just those words alone made me want to go home and record a tonne of videos just to keep him happy. I wanted to be strong and prove to him that his journey here wasn't a waste, so I was going to record and make him proud, just like he wanted. We both pulled away sadly when Mark had to board, giving each other a little smile.

"Go and make me proud buddy." He walked away and waved one last goodbye before he was out of sight, I sighed and turned around, leaving the airport sadly. I couldn't believe it, my best friend in the whole wide world had actually just gone back to live his happy life with all of his friends and I was here, alone, again.

I took a taxi back to my apartment and made my way inside, taking a seat in front of my computer to start looking through the comments on my new vlog. I loaded it up and my phone buzzed in my pocket, I pulled it out and smiled as Mark's name appeared on the screen.

Markimoo: i miss you already 😟✨
