Sky's POV:
My phone is buzzing, urgh it's 8am who's calling me at this time? I rub my eyes to see who it is, El.
"Hey El" I say while my voice is cracking
"Wow, u sound like a dying llama"
"Ahaha funny"
"Good morning"
"Morning"
"I wanted to talk to you about something"
"Sure anything"
There was a pause
"I- don't know how to say this its kinda hard"
"Dude it's okay, you've told me many things, and I never judged u no matter what it was"
"True, but this is different!"
"Just say it like your ripping a band aid"
"I THINK IM BI"
He said it really fast I couldn't hear him
"What? I didn't hear u"
"I.think. I'm bi"
"Oh, why were you so worried, I don't care what you are, whatever it is I'll always be your friend El"
"THANKK U! I love you so freaking much, I just haven't come out to my family yet, I don't know how"
"I'll help you, just don't say anything to them, act normal, I have a way to help you"
"Can I trust you?"
"Yes"
"Okay, I'm giving you my trust"
"I should get going, I need to eat breakfast and Lauren just woke up, bye"
"Bye!"
We hung up
"Who was that?" Lauren asks in confusion waking up
"El"
"Why would he be calling at 8?" and she throws her phone on the bed
"He wanted to tell me, he thinks he's bi, and he doesn't know how to tell his family"
"Aww he's so cute for you being the first person to tell!"
I grin from ear to ear
"I'm going to help him tell them"
"Okay"
"I want you to help me set up the lights, the camera, because we're filming a video, and also to come up with ways to come out"
We both get ready, and we first to have breakfast and we decided to brainstorm ideas there.
"Okay so how about, like putting some stuffed animals first, and trying to say it to them, basically getting comfortable" Lauren says
"Ooh that's a good one"
"Let's say, um, he can practice saying it to himself, with no stuffed animals"
"Yeah, true actually" I giggle
We've written down all the ideas to help El, when we were done I sat on my bed and Lauren hit the record button
"Hey guys I'm back! I miss y'all, so uh, this weeks video is kinda different, it's obviously a sit down video because I haven't done one of these in quite a while, now this video is to help a friend of mine"
I looked away from the camera looking at Lauren
"Lauren, should I mention his name or?"
"Like mention that he has been in some of your videos before and stuff like that"
I nod and I continue talking to the camera
"So, my friend, and I'm being serious, not me, my friend" I giggle, I look around our room
"You guys have seen him in a couple of my videos, he is bisexual, and he doesn't know how to come out to his family, he's just too scared, and in this video I'm going to help you guys who are struggling coming out to their families, now to clarify, I'm no professional, I'm straight but these are just some ideas coming from a 17 year old trying to help her viewers and best friend"
"So the first idea is to grab all the stuffed animals you have, set them somewhere and practice how you would tell your family"
After we finished recording I edited the video and published it.
I grabbed my phone, went on Twitter and tweeted
"New video up on my channel! I want to help you, make sure to thumbs up the video and subscribe for more! www.youtu.be/K4ye?63_Btwjd"
*1 hour later*
My phone buzzes
"It's a message from El"
"What does it say?" Lauren asked curiously
"It says 'thank you so much for the video, it helped me, my family accepted it, they didn't care what my sexuality was I'm so happy, thank you very much I'm glad to have you as my best friend, oh and tell Lauren hi' aw he's so sweet"
"It's true, we're all lucky to be your best friend Sky, you're always helping us and making us smile"
"I love you Lauren"
And we hug
