Adopted By Zalfie

Telling The World

Zoe and Alfie called me in to film the video, I was 99.9% sure I was ready, but that 1% was just a little bit of worrying, what will people think? is this the wrong decision? all these questions played on my mind all night.

I sat down on the bed between Zoe and Alfie, it was so strange being infront of the camera, this was real life and it was actually happening. Everyone was going to know.

- 10 minutes later -
I walked out the room, I felt revealed and I know I'll feel so much better once it's uploaded, well that's until the hate comes running in, I was warned about that but I just shrugged it off.

" Who's account will it be uploaded on? " I asked.

" We're both uploading it to our channels, it's better that way so all the subscribers know. " Alfie replied.

" Oh Okay... " I walked into my room, shut the door and jumped onto my bed questioning myself if this was too soon. Now that they're both uploading it even more people will know, which means more questions and double the hate.
I knew this was what I wanted and things would be okay, but there will always be those people hating, I remember when Zoe cried because of it, I hated seeing her like that.

I texted my friend Sapphire, I met her in the adoption place on the same day I got there, she was so kind and definitely made me feel better.
She loved watching YouTube too and I wanted to see what she thought and if I was making the wrong decision, since she always has the best advice.

Me : Hey Sapphire! I really miss you and I hope we can hang out soon! It's been so long since I've seen you, I'm texting to ask for advice. I thought... well think... I was ready to be open to the Internet, but now I'm not too sure. I'm worried about all the hate! I'm tired of hiding from cameras and I just want to get it all off my shoulders, we've filmed the video but now I'm having second thoughts.

S : Hey girl! I really miss you too! personally, I think that you should just let them upload it, you've waited a long time and if you feel in your heart your ready.. then do it. Who cares about all the haters? at-least you won't have to hide all the time. You worry too much,
XOX.

Me : I know!
I'm just going to let them upload it, it's what I feel is right. X
I press send and ran downstairs, alfie finished editing it and I could see it was waiting to be uploaded.
I called Zoe and we sat down all together, I pressed the upload button and there was no going back.

Zoe and Alfie both tweeted the links and I was biting my nails while I waited for everyone to see it.
' why would you keep it from us? '
' why don't you have kids of your own? ' ' atleast pick a pretty girl! '
' you probably just adopted for the views.. '
I couldn't help but only see the hate comments and tweets. A tear rolled down my face, I quickly wiped it away but I think Zoe saw, she grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard with a little smile.
" I think I'll go upstairs for a little bit till everyone calms down and takes the video in. " I got up and walked to my room, I knew this would happen.
