23/6 - monday

Lydia's POV

I got a call two days ago to inform me that I had been invited to VidCon in LA. That had given me two days to pack, because I was flying off at 6pm tonight, with Joe, Caspar, Zoe and Alfie.

I stand in the shower, letting the warm water wash away all the nerves I feel for VidCon. This will be the first time going out in front of a crowd since telling everyone. The comments Joe and I had received were positive enough, a few rude ones but that was expected. I stare down at my belly as the water washes over it. Going to VidCon means facing people in big crowds. Facing people who might not like me. It also means facing YouTubers I've never met, one's who have a bigger fan base and more subscribers. The thought of this was intimidating, to say the least. Although there would be much smaller YouTubers, there's also going to be big YouTubers, such as Tyler Oakley and Connor Franta, who I'd never met before. And if they didn't like you then neither did their fan base.

I switch off the shower, jumping into a pair of tights and a flowy top, as well as throwing a black bomber jacket over top. My packed bags sit by the door, waiting to leave. I quickly checked my list, making sure I had everything, before throwing myself down on my couch. I called an Uber to take me to Zoe's house because we were all catching an Uber from her house to the airport. This included Alfie and Joe.

The house is quiet as I wait, but it creaks around me. I tiptoe through the house as I grab my things trying not to disturb the silence that surrounds me.

The drive to Zoe's is short, and when I arrive only Zoe's home. I swiftly pull her into a hug, before placing my suitcase by the door. Her suitcase, as well as Alfie's and Joe's, rest by the door, making a pile of colourful suitcases.

"Where are Alfie an-" I'm interrupted by the door being thrown open, and Joe walks in holding three containers of different Chinese foods. Alfie trails in behind him, holding Nala in his hands.

"Does that answer your question, Lyds?" Zoe laughs before taking Nala from Alfie's grip and sitting at the dining table. I walk behind Joe, giving him a soft peck on his cheek, before sitting down on a chair next to Zoe. Alfie walks out of the kitchen holding four plates and four knives, placing them in front each one of us. He sits down next to Joe, who sits across from me.

The four of us dig into the food, trying to eat it as fast as possible. About half way through the meal, I start to feel queasy, so I excuse myself. I walk into the kitchen and grab a water bottle from the fridge, before resting against the bench top. Joe walks in just after me, a concerned look on his face.

"Hey, are you alright love?" He stands in front of me, hands on my waist.

"Yeah, just morning sickness..." He looks confused for a second and I chuckle. "Yes, morning sickness lasts all day."

"You sure you're alright?"

"Yep, good as gold. It'll pass soon enough... Hopefully..." He presses his lips gently against mine, kissing me softly.

"Love you, Lyds, sorry you have to go through this."

"You're so dramatic, Sugg, it'll be okay. But I love you too. Now let's go back into the dining room before Zalfie eats all out food," I laugh, walking behind Joe.

"You guys are so cute," Zoe smirks as we sit down. I roll my eyes at her but blush at her comment.

The rest of the meal is quiet and soon enough it's time to leave. I'm squished in the back between Zoe and Joe, as Alfie sits in the front next to the driver. We make idle chit chat between the five of us before we finally arrive at the airport.

We arrive at the airport at 4:30pm, giving us an hour and a half to get through customs and board. The airport was crowded, fill with people standing in groups, and others rushing to get where they want to go. I grip Joe's hand as we push our way through the crowds. Alfie pushes a trolley with all our suitcases and Zoe walks beside us.

We get through customs quite quickly, finally making it on to the plane.

The plane was loud, filled with crying babies and noisy parents. I roll my eyes, making my way to my seat. Joe's in the seat next to me, and Zoe and Alfie sit in the seats across from us.

I try to ignore the feeling that always rises in my gut before and while taking off. I grip Joe's hand as we begin take off, and he links our fingers, giving me a small kiss on my forehead. Although it's still bumpy, we don't hit much turbulence and soon enough we're in the air.

"Are you alright, love?" He asks as I loosen my grip on his hand.

"I'm alright, just hate taking off."

The rest of the flight goes past smoothly, although I'm asleep for most of it, and soon enough it's time to land. The landing is a lot more bumpy than taking off, and I grip Joe's hand even tighter.

When we finally land, it's about 8pm on the day before VidCon. (I don't know the time difference so let's just say it's 8 o'clock on the same day.)

"Tyler said he'll pick us up from the airport so we just have to find him," My eyes widen. I'm meeting Tyler Oakley for the first time in holey tights and a bun.

We walk around for a few minutes until we find the luggage carousel. Zoe spots Tyler's head of purple hair and calls out for him. His eyes light up as he makes his way over. My heart starts beating faster in my chest. The whole reason I started YouTube is standing right in front of me.

He hugs Alfie, Zoe and Joe first, before turning to me.

"Hi! I'm Tyler, I'm as huge fan of your videos!" Holy shit, Tyler Oakley watches my videos. "Congratulations on the babies," He says, pulling me into a hug.

Together, the five of us travel to the hotel where most of the YouTubers are staying. Tyler drops us off, insisting he'll meet us for breakfast before VidCon starts.

I fall asleep almost as soon as my head hits the pillow, my body cuddled in against Joe's.

Okay, so I need to say something. I'm planning another Joe Sugg story (shocker, I know.) It's going to be based off the song FOOLS by Troye Sivan and I have great ideas for it so this story will be put temporarily on hold, or will be rarely updated, until I can get that started. If I don't like how it goes then I'll delete it and continue with this one.

Although, not matter what happens with that story, I'll still finish this one, I promise xo
