Foreign Love

Chapter 18- What?

Jack's POV
So far the video response has been quite nice. At least from my video, I've seen Val's comments and they are not that nice. Most of them are hate, and telling her I'm way too old for her. I don't really mind that, but there are so many hurtful comments towards her. She's my girlfriend and it also kind of hurts me, she doesn't deserve all of these comments.

I'm afraid, scared of how she's going to react. I don't want to tell her, because I'm actually scared she's going to have another panick attack. The last one she had I kind of handed it well, but she told me that was not a major one, I'm scared that she'll cave into the pressure and have one of the big ones. I've told her it's going great. I want to tell her, but I'm scared.

Valeria: babe, you look worried. What's going on?
Me: I can't keep it, and I can't tell you. You have to see it for yourself.
Valeria: what do you mean?
Me: have you seen the comments on your video?
Valeria: no, but you told me it was going OK.
Me: don't hate me after this, but I might have lied to you... For love.
Valeria: are they bad? And why would I get angry at you?
Me: well, because they aren't good. From the worst, they're the OK towards better.
Valeria: why didn't you tell me?
Me: I'm not really sure, I guess I was scared of your reaction?
Valeria: OK, I'm not going to get mad, but why were you scared?
Me: because, as you explained me your anxiety, you said those stupid panick attacks happened when you felt overwhelmed and as if you couldn't do anything about it... And I felt like this is how you were going to feel.
Valeria: well, we'll have to see.
Me: are you sure?
Valeria: I guess.
Me: look at this, all your comments are full of hate.
Valeria: I am feeling a bit anxious.
Me: you know what? I think we could laugh it off, we can find a way. I'm sure. Mikey, Josh and Conor always finds the bright side of things.
Valeria: let's call them, and quick please. Teary eyes aren't a good sign.
Me: guys!!!!!!! Please come quick, WE need your support. *i kiss her on the forehead making her put her head on my chest*
Conor: what's wrong?
Valeria: hate everywhere, and anxiety everywhere too.
Mikey: I think the only fair thing to do is call Joe.
Josh: call everyone at this point.
Me: do you agree?
Valeria: yeah, could you text Olivia and Abi too? And Oli, Caspar... Basically all they gang.
Me: you've heard her, everyone get your phones out and tell everyone we are having a hate anxious moment. I'll text Abi. *I say winking at Valeria and receiving a little chuckle from her*
Josh: Joe's on his way and he's coming with Abi. She received your text.
Josh: Caspar and Oli are too.
Conor: Olivia is on her way, she's closer though.
Valeria: thank you so much guys. I'd give you all a huge hug, but I'll start crying and that's not the best thing to do when you're feeling anxious. I already feel shakish.
Conor: *knock knock* that's Olivia. I'll go and get it.
Olivia: where is she?
Valeria: I'm here Ol!
Olivia: Val!!!! Are you okay?
Valeria: better now that another one of my favourite people has arrived.
Me: guys, I'm the other one *I say in a joking excited voice, when in actual fact I am very happy that I am that other person*
Olivia: okay, tell me. What is bothering you?
Me: the new video, the boyfriend tag. It's been receiving so much hate.
Olivia: yours isn't?
Me: no. I'm not really sure why.
Valeria: let's wait for everyone to arrive and then we can laugh it off.
Olivia: who are everyone else?
Me: Joe, Oli, Caspar and Abi.
Mikey: Caspar isn't answering. I'll tell Oli to ring him when he comes.
Me: OK, *knock knock* I'll go.
Joe: halo. I'm completely no with an especial guest. Don't fangirl.
Olivia: it's not Abi, you could fangirl.
Valeria: OMG, Zoë! Joe, why did you do this!?!?!
Abigail: I swear he isn't guilty. Zoë was already supposed to film with Joe for next week's videos. And they received the text in the middle of the video and Zoë offered to come.
Zoë: I just thought I was appropriate in this situation baring in mind I also have anxiety.
Valeria: OMG, thanks.
Zoë: it's nothing, come on gimme a hug. *Val stands up to give Zoë a hug* By the way, I love your videos.
Valeria: you watch my videos?
Zoë: yeah, ever since you did the Tutty Frutty Collection review.
Joe: Oli and Caspar are on their way.
Me: how do you know?
Joe: well, I can see them trough the balcony and Oli, in Pokémon GO, is the blue team and now the gym has turned blue. It cost me ages to win it!!!
Valeria: nope, that was me. Sorry.
Zoë: can I get my Pokémon in it?
Valeria: sure.
Joe: you both stingy twats...
Zoë: *knock knock* I'll go. Hey Casp! Where's Oli?
Caspar: he's trying to place a Pokémon on the gym.
Valeria: that's ours.
Caspar: ours? Who else's?
Zoë: mine.
Joe: *knock knock* I'll go get it. Hey Oli. We're all here.
Oli: oh my, this is getting tight.
Valeria: yeah, shall we go to my house?
Zoë: uuhhh, hey, let's do one thing. Let's laugh a bit about the comments and then we can go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?
Everyone: sounds OK/sure/why not?
Valeria: let's get started.

Valeria's POV
I love Joe for bringing Zoë and her for helping me. If this weren't for Jack, though... He is the best person I know. He always manages to make me feel special everyday. He came up with the idea of laughing all of this off, and it's really helping me.

Me: OMG, how can people think that. Look at this: "Valeria is most likely to be going out with Joe, surely she's just undercover faking to date Jack bad use she's embarrassed of dating a guy 9 years older than her. You can tell Jack likes her, and it just hurts me that she's using him for this stupid thing. She had Joe behind the camera kind of to insinuate that he is the real boyfriend."10 thumbs up.
Joe: WTF, that's unreal.
Abigail: she doesn't know what she's talking about, this boy is mine.
Jack: I see a little confession right here.
Abigail: I don't even know why I said that.
Joe: but that's right, you are mine and I am yours.
Me: okay, now I get what you meant by Jack and I being so affectionate. Please stop.
Jack: what can we laugh off from this comment?
Mikey: are you kidding Jack's?
Caspar: it's obviously that Abi was with them and the girl that commented appeared not to realise.
Conor: plus, she is crazy, Joe and her just.... Never.
Oli: hey, I'm getting hungry. And I want my ice cream.
Zoë: Val, can I call you that?
Me: yeah.
Zoe: OK, are you ready to go for an ice cream?
Me: oh, hell yeah!!!
Jack: let's go!!!!!

Me: by the way Jack, um.... Remember I told you that I'll be going to Ireland for the YouTube convention?
Jack: yeah.
Me: well, they've offered me to go on a private jet...
Jack: that's great. Is there anything else? You don't look like that was all you wanted to tell....
Me: yeah, but I need to tell everyone.
Jack: GUYS! Val apparently has a surprise for us. Listen up.
Zoë: tell us. It's probably not for me because we've met literally a few hours ago but, I'm curious.
Me: well, in actual fact it can envolve erveyone I want, within the limit of 5 people.
Olivia: are you talking about what we found out yesterday?
Me: yeah, and what we found out yesterday was; as you may know Olivia and I are going next week to Ireland for the YouTube convention and to see my Irish part of my family. Well, we were offered to go on a private jet, and we could invite 5 people each.
Olivia: and what better moment to say who those 5 people are going to be...
Me: Jack
Olivia: Conor
Me: Joe
Olivia: Mikey
Me: Abi, you can stay longer
Olivia: Caspar
Me: Oli
Olivia: Josh
Me: Zoë
Olivia: Alfie
Zoë: are you guys kidding? You both just met me and you haven't even met Alfie.
Me: technically we have. We had a friend-family holiday in Brighton and we met Alfie and Poppy.
Zoë: OMG, I can't believe it. Thank you so much. I have to vlog this. Can I?
Me: sure.
