A few months went by..We had a lot of meetings, talking about legal stuff to do with moving in with Dad. I'm just so happy that I'm over 18 so it wasn't such a big deal moving country, It would of taked a lot longer if I wasn't!

Today was finally the day! i was at the airport with my Aunt ready to fly out to LA! I cannot wait!

The flight was long & boring, I'd been to Cali once to visit my Dad, but my Aunt came with me & we stayed in a hotel since Shar was pregnant with Ryder at the time. I hardly talk to Sam these days, I bet he's grown up a lot! But I guess so have I, that was 5 years a go!

I step off the plane at LAX, get through customs (which was quick for once!) & I see my Dad, Ryder, Shar & Sam waiting there to greet me.

I run straight to my Dad & give him the biggest hug ever! It was so great to be back with him again!

I hug the others & carry Ryder to the baggage claim. I tease Sam about how much he's grown up & that he never talks to me on Skype anymore. He doesnt seem too sorry about it!

After driving in peak traffic for what seamed like forever, we pulled up to a big house in as flash looking naigbourhood. It's unbelievable to look back at my Mums life & then look at Dads. He's done so well for himself & turned his life around.

Dad shows me where my room is & after getting all my bags into my room I start unpacking.

"I made up your bed but you can change the covers if you want to"

I hear a warm voice & look over at the door , Shar was standing there looking down at me.

"No it's perfect!" It really was, the big double bed had a puffy white duvet cover with some light pink cushions. I loved it!

"Thank you so much Shar! & thank you for having me as well, It's the best thing ever!" I say as I look to her.

"You're most welcome sweetie, now dinners on the table in an hour so it gives you time to un-pack a little more"

I smile at her as she leaves the room.

"Sam hun! How bout you show Ashley round the rest of the house!" I hear her yell out as she walks back down the stairs.

"Fine!" I hear him yell back with a sigh

Moments later Sam knocks on my door. "Hey!" I say, probably a little too excitedly.

"Want me to show you around?" He asks with a small warm smile.

"Sure" I reply.

We leave the room & imediatly next door is Sam's room.

"This is my room" he swings the door open & walks in.

"wow" I say to myself. Its awesome, so colourful, with pictures covering the walls, of him & some friends. I scan the room & when we're just about to leave something catches my eye. I notice in the corner set up was some lights & camera equipment.

"Wait! What's all that for?" I ask excitedly. Film is my passion so it gets me excited!

"oh, I do youtube!" he says casually

"No way! So do  I!" I reply, still looking at his equipment

"Yeah I know!" Sam says as my eyes switch from the equipment back to him.

"I saw your videos & then me & my best mate Kian decided to start making some music videos & just crazy stuff in general! Now we're in a colab channel called Our 2nd life!"

"wow! how did I not know about this?!" He shurgs his shoulders.

"Anyway.." we leave the room & he shows me around the rest of the room.

There's a bathroom on the top floor for me & Sam & one down stairs for Dad, Shar & Ryder. There was a small lounge on our floor & two lounges down the bottom, plus the kitchen & dining room. It was amazing. Deffiently not what I am used to!

After dinner we watched a movie as a family. I sat next to Dad with Ryder on my lap. Little did I know Sam snapped a picture of us & put it on instagram "Step up 3 with these loosers"

Suddenly my tweets were blowing up with;

"oh my god! you know Sam Pottorf!" "How do you know Sam!" "Why are you with Sam?!" "Are you in LA?!"

That was when I realized how popular Sam was on youtube. I can't believe I haven't seen his videos before! My viewers clearly love him!

I went to bed after the movie. I got on my laptop & subscribed to Sam's channels & his colab channel which featured 6 other boys, all very cute. Maybe I could find myself a boy over here! I jokingly think to myself. I watch a few of their videos & follow Sam + all of O2L on twitter/instagram. I reply to some viewers. I also tweet out: "First day living in LA has been great! & Incase you were wondering, @sampottorf is my half brother:)"

I change my bio to "Kiwi youtuber living in LA" & close my laptop to go to sleep. I honestly can't believe I now live in America. This is crazy!
