One Wild Ride ~YouTuber Fanfiction~

Five

~Diana's POV~

I could only remember bits and pieces of this morning, but I did know I would have to be giving Mark the biggest apology of the century. I made him come get Anna and me at, like, 5 am maybe? Anna probably hated me with a fiery passion. I got so caught up in seeing all my foreign friends that I forgot I had brought Anna along so she could make friends as well. Note to self: No more alcohol. 

It was a staggering 2 pm when I woke up, and my phone was blinking at me furiously. I had two texts from everyone from the party last night. Phil worrying, Dan making jokes about being hungover, Tyler just complaining about being hungover, Zoe worrying but also remaining the biggest sweetheart I knew, Alfie boasting about having such a good time, and Joe asking a very horrifying question: Did we have sex last night? lol. That was shortly followed by. Holy crap, I meant that as a joke, but I think we really did.

I had also been added to a group chat that had been created by the lovely Phil. I didn't have the patience to read all 235 messages, but I did see that Tyler was raving on and on about Joe's and my little get together on his bed.

Oh my god  was my only contribution to the conversation.

Tyler: She awakens!

Zoe: Cheeky cheeky, you two.

Alfie: I'm not getting involved

Dan: I can smell the shippers from here. They're coming.

Tyler: I will be expecting details, missy!

Joe: no lol

The group was insufferable, but I absolutely loved them.

I got up eventually, forcing myself into the shower. While there, I found more evidence of my sexual performance last night, and I kept blushing about it. I wished I could remember the encounter. It was no secret to anyone that I had the biggest crush on Mr. Joe Sugg. Even the fans suspected. They constantly pointed out my puppy dog looks I threw him when we got to collab together, which was very rarely, and someone had even done a small, amateur but no less accurate psychological interpretation. I attracted some smart people. I don't know why. I was just an out-of-the-box female vlogger. Most people suspected a female vlogger to do make up, fashion, and pretty, girly things like that. I have nothing against women who do that, I find their tips and step-by--steps very helpful, but I wasn't quite like that. I was "silly and messy challengers" or "dramatic, hipster-esque, very aesthetic short 'films'" and sometimes even covers of songs. I loved doing camera stuff. I loved creative stuff. Growing up with two dorky brothers who played video games kind of does that to a person.

***************

My new video got uploaded at 3 every other day or so. It really depended on my life and how exciting it was. If nothing super special happened in some time, I'd upload a cover/artsy. 

Vlogging hadn't even been on the top five things I wanted to do when I was in high school. I had supported Mark on his YouTube endeavors because he was my brother and it was my job to support him, but after actually seeing what he did, I got intrigued. I liked video games, and I always watched Mark's videos, but I found myself drawn to beauty channels and dorky young adults who usually spat water at each other or put tape on their face.

It wasn't long before I had found my passion. I wanted to wait to see how I felt about vlogging after high school, so that's what I did. I got out with a bachelor's degree in Film Production. I wanted to do something with cameras. Short films, movies, both big and small, and vlogging was still haphazardly tacked to my bulletin board of dreams. With YouTube, I could expand my resume and express my creativity. It was a win-win!

I was a good six months in when one of my short "films" got a spot somewhere on a big wig Tumblr blog. From there, it spread to Facebook and Reddit and whatever else. Mark had a good sized ball already rolling, and him giving me a shout out only helped boost me up. By the end of that year, I was being asked to become a partner with YouTube. I got paid in views, likes, comments, favorites, and all that other YouTube crap. It was... mind blowing. I've been a vlogger since 2014 (I went to college at 20, sue me) and it has been an amazing chapter in my story.

Anyways, moral of the story is that I'm living comfortably and I get compliments all the time because I'm just that damn hot. Half-Korean, brown eyes, short brown hair, wears Sephora make up sometimes, and I dress however the hell I want. I'm the perfect, fire ball package. 

... No wonder I've been single since middle school.

I was just beginning to put my hair up in a very tiny bun after my shower when my phone starting playing a lovely little tune.

"Hello hello, this is Diana." I chirped. I didn't even care to check the I.D. I had just gotten dick for the first time in an embarrassing amount of years (four), and it was with Joe Sugg. 

"Diana? It's Joe." a very soothing British voice said.

"Oh. Hello." I muttered, feeling my face getting a little warm.

"I was thinkin', due to last night, we should go on a proper first date." he said.

"When, where?" I spat out. His laughter rang in my ear, and I felt my heart actually flutter. Cliche teenage romance flutter. I loved laughter. I didn't care who it came out of. All laughter was absolutely wonderful to me. However, Joe Sugg's laughter was like a siren's call to me.

"I don't know where you're new place is, so maybe we could have it there? I don't know. Just a suggestion." he offered, rambling the doofus he is.

"Why, Joseph, are you trying to get over here so you can seduce me again?" I teased like the asshole I was.

"I don't remember it a whole well, but I'm pretty sure you came onto me." he retorted.

"Uh huh, suuuure," I chuckled. "How about you come over, I show you around, maybe we move some furniture, then I show to the best place to get some homely American food in the area?"

"Move furniture?" he asked.

"If you were cool you'd understand the reference." I laughed.

"Uh huh, suuuure." he mocked.

I gave him my address and he told me he'd be around here sometime around 6:30. I was restless with excitement, especially when we both hung up and I had no one to talk to. Upon realizing I had a friend who I need to apologize to was across the hall, I decided to give her my energy and hopefully get her help on figuring out what I should wear for my date.
