Will Jay Imagines- Wattys 2016

YouNow

   It was the Saturday after I started my new school. I already hated it there, seeing as everyone else knew each other and I was seen as a weird punk loner. I didn't fit in here with all of these gorgeous, model-like rich girls and slightly-attractive, horrendously athletic rich guys. The other girls all wore crop tops with cute skirts or pastel-colored rompers; I wore band t-shirts and blue jeans. The other girls had dangerously long, shiny hair; my dull brown locks barely touched my shoulders. I had been in school three days, and I already knew I was an outcast.

   But even after all that suckiness, there was one thing I had to look forward to all week: Will Jay's YouNow. Will was my inspiration, my everything.  He was also my best friend- well, only friend. Even before I moved, Will was the only person who I trusted outside of my own family. He was the one person who could console me when I was upset.

   Which is sad, because he barely knows I exist.

   Anyway, I logged on to YouNow just as Will went live. As per usual, I was the first one there. I commented, "Hey, Will!"

   "Hey, Mei!" Will replied cheerfully.

   I smiled, my heart racing as my face heated up. I was so glad Will couldn't see the goofy grin on my face as he started talking to the other viewers.

   About an hour into the YouNow, Will decided to guest people. He had already sung a fair few of my song requests and answered a lot of my questions, so I was equally surprised and happy when he hated me. I clicked the "Go Live" button, and I smiled as I saw Will's beautiful chocolate eyes staring at me.

   "Hey, Mei! How are you?" he asked as he waved.

   I freaked out. What am I supposed to say? School sucks, thanks for asking? "G-good. How you?" I stammered. 

   Will laughed at my nervousness. "I'm good, thanks. What's your question?"

   "When are you coming back to New York?"

   Will made a thinking face. "I don't know exactly when, but definitely soon."

   "Good. I miss you."

   I slapped my hand over my mouth. Did I just say that? I'm an idiot. Officially the Idiot of the Year! I put the "Idiot" in"Videotape". (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl reference.)

   I saw Will on the other side of the screen, trying not to laugh his face off. "I miss you too, Mei! Were you one of the ones who started school this week?"

   I nodded, surprised that Will remembered. "I just moved to another part of New York as well. You got me through the move and the first week of school."

   Will's face was unreadable. He seemed to be touched, while also feeling slightly sorry for me. "Thank you, Mei. That means a lot to me."

   "Thank you for being there for me," I said with a little smile. "You should guest someone else. These other girls want to talk to you, and I'm being selfish."

   Will shook his head with a sad smile. "It was great talking to you, Mei. Stay strong, I bet school's going to be awesome."

   "Thanks, Will," I replied, matching his facial expression.

   "I love you!"

   I sighed. "Love you too, Will!" I turned off my webcam and watched the rest of the YouNow. Which wasn't long. After guesting me, Will stayed on for about five minutes, then said he had dinner plans with his parents, so he had to go. 

   After Will signed off, I went on his YouNow page and posted a message. 

   "Had so much fun watching this YouNow! @willjaymusic   thanks for making me forget about my sucky school year!"

   I didn't get a reply from Will, which I totally expected. I logged off of YouNow, then went to my room and got ready for bed. I put on my Pokemon pyjamas and brushed my hair out. I couldn't braid it anymore, so I had to sleep with it down.

   As I sat in bed scrolling through my pictures, I smiled to myself. I looked at one of the pictures my mom had taken the last time Will came to New York with the Grow Wild Tour. He had his arm around my shoulders and I had my arm around his waist. I was smiling like a dork, and Will was laughing lightly at my excitement. That was the day after I had moved, and my parents got me tickets to the concert to help me not be as upset. Let's just say it worked. 

   I had no idea how long I had been gazing at that picture until my phone buzzed with a Twitter notification. I saw that it was 9:30, twenty minutes after Will finished the YouNow and ten minutes since I started looking at that picture. I clicked on my Twitter icon, and almost screamed when I saw I had a DM. From. Will. Jay. I never got DMs, especially not from the only person outside of my family that talked to me right now. I read the message:

   Will: Hey! You seemed kind of sad on YN. You okay?

   I smiled to myself, typing a reply:

   Mei: I'm okay. Just a little weirded out, that's all.

   Will: Weirded out?

   Mei: Yeah, I just moved and started a new school and everything. I really miss my friends, and starting school with a bunch of new strangers just confirms that I'm never going to see them again.

   Will: You'll probably see them again.

   Mei: No, I won't. I move around a lot, and every time, people say things like "I promise, we'll talk everyday." Then the next day comes, and they don't call. Then the next day. And the next day. People stop caring.

   Will: I'm sorry you feel that way, Mei. But I promise you, I won't stop caring. Ever. And I don't break promises.

   I smiled, but then felt my heart drop. Even if Will cared, he's busy. He wouldn't have time to pity me. But I trust him. I know he won't break his promise.

   Mei: Thanks, Will. That means a lot, especially coming from you.

   Will: Any time. You should be getting to sleep, though. You need to stay on a schedule for school, right?

   Mei: Yeah, I don't want to be tired AND miserable :P

   Will: Promise me you'll try to stay positive?

   Mei: Only if you promise to come back to New York soon ;)

   Will: I promise.

   Mei: Then I promise, too.

   Will: Good night, Mei.

   Mei: Good night, Will.

   Will: I love you.

   Mei: I love you, too <3 See you Tuesday!

   That night, I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
