Chapter Seven

Mitch's point of view:
_______________________________

*One Month Later*

'Mitch! Nothing good will come out of you starting youtube again! What do you think people will just come back? You left them!' Jen's words cut deep.
'But dear, think about it, we need the money. It won't be daily just every now and then,' I tried to convince Jen into letting me start my youtube career again.
'Or you know, you could get a real job! What do you even do for a living? Oh, that's right! Nothing! You live off my savings!' Jen was becoming very tense.
'You know I've been looking! No one wants to hire someone who has no skills but how to edit a video!' I screamed in reply, Jen opened her mouth, then looked away whilst shutting it, 'I'm sorry for yelling.'
'I am not going through this again. I quit acting to focus on family, you gave up youtube,' she firmly reminded me before storming out of the room.

Flopping down onto the bed my mind began to run with thoughts. It was as if there was a marathon of thoughts inside of my head. Why would she say things like that? What wrong could come out of me restarting my youtube career? Her words had hurt me, I didn't want to admit it but she had hurt me. I miss my friends, I miss having my fanbase. My thoughts were all over the place. On one hand she was right I should stick to the fact that I left youtube to be with her and Ashy but on the other hand I need a job, we need the money. I'll call Matt, he always knows which is the best option. I picked up my phone and dialled Matt's phone number.

'Hey buddy, what's up?' Matt's cheerful voice came through my phone.
'I need some advice,' I slowly replied.
'Well you've come to the right place,' he laughed, 'what's the problamo?'
'I've been looking for a job for the last month to help bring our savings back up, but the problem is no one wants to hire someone that has no real education.'
'And...' Matt hinted for me to continue.
'I thought maybe I could start youtube again,' I questioned.
'Sounds like something that might help with money, but why do you need me? Need to know how to get started,' Matt replied with a laugh.
'No,' I laughed, 'Jen thinks it is a bad idea.'
'Hmm, I can see where she is coming from. What is your reasoning?'
'It will help with money, it's a pass time.'
'Your pass time should be spending time with your wife and daughter though Mitch, I mean it is fine to have a hobby but youtube as a career is not a hobby.'
'What should I do then?' I was even more confused than when I first called.
'Do what Jen wants.' Matt replied bluntly.
'But...' I tried to back myself up.
'Nope, no buts,' Matt interrupted, 'if she thinks it's a bad idea than it is. If you can convince her otherwise, without upsetting her in the process, then sure.'
'Fair enough.'
'Your wife is more important than having something to do,' Matt reassured me that it was the right decision.
'Thanks Matt, I can always count on you.'
'No problem Mitch, call me when you need, see ya,' he replied before hanging up.

I walked down into the kitchen where Jen was rushing around the kitchen dropping everything like the klutz she is. I sneaked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist and turned her around to face me. When her face was about an inch away from mine I noticed tears running down her face. I put my hands on her face and wiped away the tears,
'What's wrong pretty?' I slowly asked.
'Don't worry about it,' she replied trying to walk away from me.
'Hun, I care about you please tell me,' I said grabbing her waist tight enough to stop her from leaving but not enough to hurt her.
'I'm just worried, you are trying to go back to everything you did before you had Ash and I, it scares me.'
'No, no way, I would never do such a thing,' I wrapped my arms tightly around her pulling her close once I realized she thought I was going to leave her, 'I love you and Ash with all of my heart, you mean everything to me. I have decided to not go back to youtube, it kills me but you mean more to me.'
A smile spread across Jen's face, 'I love you so much,' she replied pulling me close again.
'I love you so much too beautiful,' I replied letting her go and looking into her eyes again. She smiled at me and then turned back to whatever she was cooking in the kitchen. Seen as she went back to her own thing, I decided to do the same.

Walking into the lounge room I found Ash sitting on the couch watching yet another disney movie,
'So which one of the many disney is this one?' I questioned my daughter as I sat next to her, putting my arm around her shoulder.
'It's Brave,' she said quickly so that she could go back to watching her movie.
'Is this one any good?' I asked her yet another question.
'Yes.'
'What have I missed,' I asked looking at her as she picked up the remote and paused her movie.
'Well,' she paused and took a deep breath in, 'she is angry at her mom because she won't let her have her own life and wants her to marry one of those guys,' she pointed at the screen showing me four pathetic boys, 'but she wants to be different to her mum.'
As Ash took a deep breath after her very fast talking, I replied, 'Well, I guess that sounds interesting.'
'Yes it is,' she smiled and pressed play on the remote starting the movie again.

'Well that was fun,' I forced a smile at my daughter.
'It was great!' Ashy exclaimed.
'Yeh, I guess so.'
'Mitchell Hughes!' Jen exclaimed from upstairs. I looked at Ash and kissed her forehead before walking upstairs to my wife, 'Happy now?'
'What do you mean?' I questioned as she lifted up my phone to show me a tweet I had sent out,
Thinking of joining youtube again, any good comeback ideas?
'Oh I wonder,' Jen said giving me the biggest death stare of my life... Oh no...
