I storm up to my bedroom. I feel so bad for mommy, but I literally want to KILL Katie! I was so frustrated, especially when mommy came in. She caressed my suffering arm (not in a weird way ppl).
Mom: Annie..
I sigh heavily. Them mommy did, leading to an awkward silence. I broke it.
Me: I'm so sorry mommy. I felt so..
But mommy interrupted me.
Mom: No, Julianna! I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to the comments. I'm sorry I put you in the thumbnails too often. I'm sorry I didn't give the camera to Hayley as much.
Me: But mommy, I didn't tell you. And plus I wasn't even supposed to be reading that stuff.
I cried. I opened up Instagram on my phone.

"AHHHH" I hear from my angel Annie. Then, 'plonk' on the floor. Annie screams even louder.
Annie: GO AWAY RIGHT NOW I DON'T CARE IF YOU TAKE THE PHONE OR NOT!!!!!
I cautiously take the phone from the floor. I walk out, right down to Billy and I's bedroom. I look at her active phone. This is what I see:

itsflippinkatie: Unfortunately, our friend Annie from Bratayley is struggling with some mental issues. She has began to perform self harm, and is seeing every comment people leave on the vlogs. We beg you all to #bekind to this family in their rough times, and help Annie ignore the hate. We just want to #livehappy and #celebratelife, but we need you all to help us do so. - Jill.

Oh my god. No. No. No no no. I knew they were too close! First Liv invades our privacy and now Katie's whole family! I scroll through the comments on officiallybratayley and see hundreds of comments stating its a lie, they are hacked, and it's weird how we haven't said anything. Yeah! It is! But they feel it ok?!?! I decide to post. This is what I wrote.
Hello all. Unfortunately, flippinkatie's account was not hacked. However, the family had NO permission to tell the world about our personal life. We are extremely upset and disappointed, even angry, at the family for their actions. We will not be forgiving the family for this. We will not continue vlogging this week. Thanks, -Mrs Katie.

Katie's family account lost hundreds and thousands of followers, as they deleted their recent. Within minutes, though, pictures of the post blew up everywhere, on practically every fan account. As I return Annie's phone to fill her in, I see she's fallen asleep. I don't give her the phone for her to discover herself, so I take it with me.

I blink, and realise I'm awake. I waddle gloomily downstairs, my eyes are red and puffy. I see mommy on her bed, so I enter.
Me: Hi.
Mom: Hi, Julianna. I have something to tell you.
Me: *Blinks blankly*
Mom: So, they deleted it, but it's everywhere.
Me: *Looks down at lap*
Mom: I posted this, though.
I read through the post mommy wrote. I hugged her tightly, and fell asleep in her arms.
