A new begining

"Look Jackie I don't know...I mean moving to a whole new state? That's a pretty big change." I sighed softly as I rested my chin on the palm of my hand, staring at the computer screen as my best friends face contorted into a look of disappointment. "Come on (y/n), please! You hate it there anyways and at least here you'd live in the same apartment complex as me. I could introduce you to some men too, you need a little love in your life. How long have you been single anyways, an eternity?" She giggled and I rolled my eyes giving her a playful smile. "Yeah yeah keep on teasing me... I'll think about it and get back to you when I make a decision." I flipped her off as the image on the screen winked at me and waived. "See ya (y/n)." I said goodbye to her before exiting out of Skype, walking away from my computer and falling onto my bed. I buried my face into the pillow as I thought about my friends suggestion. Moving from my small-town of barely 1000 people was definitely a big change to moving to the city of LA. But she had a point, I was unhappy in this little town. I had moved here a couple years back when I first started my YouTube career. And since then my channel had grown alot, which I was proud of. But on the other hand, I hadn't been able to make a single friend. Maybe a move was what I needed get my life moving again, I mean it couldn't hurt to try. I found that a smile had crept across my face as I thought of the possibilities of a new town, a new start. And in light of that I made my decision. I pulled out my phone from my back pocket and clicked on the contact named main bitch. 'Well I made my decision, I'll be driving out in a couple days. I'll see you then!' I hit the send button, watching until the sending icon in the corner switched to delivered.

. . . . .

The next couple of days were a bit hectic, telling my landlord that I was moving out, renting a moving truck, and calling the landlord at the apartments in LA to ensure I had an apartment when I got there was no problem. But packing? That was a completely different story. I had forgotten just how heavy my furniture was. Not to mention all the forgotten stuff I had lost ages ago that was just now popping up. I heard a small meow behind me as my cat brushed against my leg. I smiled softly at her, tucking my (h/c) hair behind my ears as I leaned down to pick her up. I've had her since I was a kid, I could still remember the day I found the tiny kitten crying in the rain. She was small back then, I could fit her in the palm of my hand. My memory traveled back to me sitting on my porch, bottle feeding the helpless ball of fur, wondering if she would even make it. Years had passed since then and she had grown up to be a beautiful cream colored cat with sky blue eyes. I chuckled as she licked my cheek and tapped her pink nose with my finger, looking around my barren house as I held her. "Ready for a road trip?"

. . . . .

The drive was boring, not to mention exhausting. From having to deal with my GPS screaming at me when I made a wrong turn to a unhappy cat in the passenger seat next to me. I breathed a sigh of relief as the electronic voice said "arriving at destination". I parked the moving truck and eagerly jumped out, stretching my sore legs and laughing at the cat as she pawed the window. "(Y/n)!!!!!" I heard a female voice scream as loud footsteps approached me. I whipped around to see a familiar wavy haired strawberry blonde running toward me. She hit me hard, wrapping her arms around me and almost causing us both to topple over. I laughed and hugged her back, noting how much taller she was than what I had imagined. "Jackie, it's good to finally see you in person. Just in time to help me unload this truck too." I looked up at her giving her a grin and she closed her arms. "You're so cruel..." We spent the next couple of hours unloading the boxes from the truck, looking at the remainder of heavy furniture still left in the back. "How the hell did you even get those in here by yourself?!" She asked wiping the sweat from her forehead as we tried lifting a dresser. "I-I didn't.. my neighbor helped me. " I stuttered, panting as we both stepped away from it. Looking at it in defeat as I wiped my face with my shirt. "Hey ladies, need some help?" A deep masculine voice broke the silence, causing us both to turn in its direction. My eyes widened as they settled on the man's face, I couldn't believe what i was seeing. I knew this man , well by 'knew' i had only seen him on YouTube. "Y-yeah thanks..."

I slipped off my headphones, running my hand through my messy black hair as I finished editing one of my videos for tomorrow. I leaned back into my chair, closing my eyes and taking a chance to relax for a second when the sound of a females scream filled my ears. My curiosity getting the best of me, I rolled my chair over to the window and moved the curtain, looking out of it to see two girls hugging beside a moving truck. I had seen the taller girl before, I had seen her at the apartment complex a couple of times, but as for the shorter girl. I had no idea who she was. That was until she turned around and I could get a clear look at her face. I had recognized her from a couple of videos I had watched on YouTube in my recommended section. From what I could remember she wasn't extremely popular, but she had a decent amount of subs. I watched for a little while longer as they started to bring boxes up to the empty apartment next to mine. "Huh, well that's interesting. Two youtubers living side by side." I adjusted my glasses, deciding I should go down and introduce myself to my new neighbor. As I walked down the wooden steps and approched the moving truck, I could hear the two women grunting and cursing. I watched as the two tried to move a dresser, giving up and leaning against the wall. "Hey ladies, need some help?" I looked at the smaller girl, her (e/c) eyes widened as they settled on me. Seeing her closer I noticed her delicate features, (h/c) hair complimented her beautiful (e/c) eyes. Her cheeks were supple and stained a light pink, her lips a soft shade of red. She was prettier than I had thought before hand. I climbed into the truck, helping them lift the dresser and carry it up the steps. I carried in the rest of the furniture and placed it in the apartment for her. "Thank you , you were a big help. I'm (y/n)" she held out her hand and I shook it, smiling back at her. "Nah, it was my pleasure. I'm mark, nice to meet you. You're a YouTube right?" I questioned, seeing her eyes light up and a smile spread across her face. "no way! Someone as popular as you actually knows about my little account?!" I can't help but laugh at her reaction as my fingers run through my hair. "I see you know about mine too. What about doing a collab some time? It might help out your channel too." She smiles and rolls her eyes playfully "duh, I mean what youtuber hasn't heard of you, your basically climbing the ranks faster than we've seen in a while. And I'd love to! You seem like a funny and cool enough guy." I chuckle and make a dopey looking face. "I try. I'll let you get settled miss (y/n). Have a good night. " she smiles and waves to me as I leave.
