Youtubers We Love. [A Landon Austin Fanfic]

Chapter Eight: His Name Was Tyler.

Fair warning, we're going on a feels trip here!

__________________________________________________________________________________

I could tell he was about to cry. I hugged him, and tried to comfort him, but nothing worked.

Erika: Honey, what's wrong..?

Landon: What's wrong..? Did you just ask me what's wrong..? You just saw me loose my best friend... My brother... And what do you do? You vlog about it, and point the camera at me while I was already about to cry! You have no idea how it feels to loose the person who gave you the inspiration to do what makes you happy, how it feels to loose your best friend, and your brother.

I didn't cry I just put my head down, and whispered, "His name was Tyler..."

Landon: What..?

Erika: My brother... His name was Tyler... He wasn't just my brother though, he was my best friend too, actually, my only friend. I wasn't like every other girl as a kid, I didn't want to play with barbies, or paint my nails, or put on dresses. I wanted to play Pokemon on my GameBoy, and Sonic on my GameCube. My brother was the same way, and after we moved, and our father left us, we were all we had. We'dalways make up our own Pokemon, or make new Sonic characters! He always told me, "If you wanna play Sonic, play it, because it's what you want to do. Don't play Barbies because everyone else is. Do what makes YOU happy, and no one can make you stop." Then, one day when I was seven, we were playing Sonic outside. I was never good at finding emeralds, so I said there was one by the tree in the backyard. I gave him a hug, and said good luck, I'll love you even if Rouge gets it first! I watched him as I heard a car speed through the neighborhood. He made a quick turn and flipped into my backyard, hitting the tree... My brother was sitting on the ground by it. He never saw it coming. The doctors said it happened so fast he didn't feel anything. For the next few weeks I played 2 player games alone, hoping somehow, someday, he'd pick up that controller, or that GameBoy, and play along with me. Every Christmas wish, every birthday candle was for one more game, one more hug, one more day of school together. I still think I hear his voice sometimes, and I never cried, because he never wanted to see me cry. So stayed strong. I'm still strong. For me and him.

I felt a tear run down my face. Before I could wipe it away, Landon's hand was right there, pushing the tear from my cheek. He pulled me in for a hug, and I just broke down...

Landon: I'm so sorry babe! I had no idea!

I never felt a tighter hug, completed with a kiss.

Erika: Hey, I'll forgive you if you forgive me for getting eyeliner and mascara on your shirt. Haha.

Landon: Hey, what do ya say, how about we go home, cuddle up and watch a movie.

Erika: That sounds great... I love you.

Landon: I love you too.
