The Better Side

Chapter 1- A New Beginning

"I cannot believe you would do that to me!" Scotty screamed at Kristin. His entire face was red, and he had his fist clenched while looking at her with a death stare. Everyone was alarmed and Zane was holding Scotty back by his waist. Kristin was crying and packing up her things. I walked slowly by and kept quiet while taking my bags to Toddy's room. Toddy went up to David and was whispering to him while I just closed my door. I did not understand what was going on and I was not a nosy person enough to ask. I turned on music and shut everybody out while unpacking my things, and David and Liza came in quietly and smiled at me.

"A lot of drama happened during your plane ride here. Kristin confessed about cheating with one of her ex-boyfriends and told Scotty about it thirty minutes ago. My name is Liza and this is David by the way" Liza said pointing to David and shook my hand.

"I'm Anna, and jeez perfect timing I'd say," I said while smiling at both her and David. I noticed it got quiet and so did they, so we walked out of the room and noticed that everyone was outside by the pool except for Scotty. By my guess, I would say he is in his room, so I knocked on his door, and heard a muffled "Come in". I walked in and seen he had his head in his hands, and anyone could tell he was crying.

"Hi, I am Toddy's sister, Annabelle, but you can call me Anna" I noticed that he had red eyes from crying, so I wondered if maybe right now was not the best time to bother him. But he smiled and got up to introduce himself. I noticed that he had slight abs, with tattoos all over his body, which was a big weakness of mine. I looked into his green eyes, and quickly averted my gaze to his room, which is surprisingly clean. He had only his jeans on, which caused me to be flustered because of how good he looked. I knew he just left his girlfriend so I contained myself.

"Scotty, Toddy's bestfriend, I am sorry about earlier with all of the yelling. I uhh, did not expect you and Todd to be back so early today," He said, while smiling to me. I was grateful that I did not drop to the floor from his raspy voice. You could tell that many girls would love to be with him. I was use to girls being all over my brother because of how he was supposedly 'hot', but I was definitely aware that Scotty was going to be trouble with the ladies now that he was single. Definitely not going to allow myself to like him, because I know the kind of guy he is. He btw believes he can get any girl he wants, and because of his charm he breaks many girls hearts. I would not allow myself to get in that mess again after everything I have been through. I was going to start my job in the next few days as a financial advisor for YouTube and I would be moving into a two bedroom apartment. I could not lose everything I had worked for over the past four years to get to this point. I bought my dream car, and everything was falling to place in my life, which is important to me right now. I want to have a good life and be able to support myself, and not focus on having a boyfriend.

"It is cool, I understand how those things go. That is actually why I moved out here" I said hoping to ease any nervousness in the air. He smiled and gestured for me to sit down. I sat on his couch and he sat right next to me and leaned his head back against the couch.

"This has been a really shitty day. I am sorry that I am being like this," He sounded like he was about to cry and I was shocked he was being open with me.

"You know you may not know me that well, but I can always help you. I went through this recently with my ex and ended up turning my life around. It was documented on YouTube too," I laid my hand on his shoulder and looked him into his eyes to show my sincerity before continuing, " If you want you can always take a look at them. They might help you figure out your feelings and keep yourself together, or I can just help you myself," I saw him smile, and knew I was doing everything right at that moment.

"I would love that help, and I would not mind getting help from you, while also looking at your videos. Kristen and I were very close, and I thought one day I would marry her. I never suspected that she would do any of this. But now that I think about it, she was always very distant from me and she was not emotional. I felt her drifting away too, but chose to ignore. I wish I could just change dating her so I never went through this," He started to tear up, and I knew exactly what to say at that moment.

"Not everything is suppose to turn out perfectly. You could go through ten relationships before you find the perfect one. At a young age were told that we need to marry young and that we will find our soulmate, but many things are temporary in our society today. Whether you marry someone now, or later. You will be happy and strong. But right now you need to focus on being successful, and focusing on your needs. So many people will push you down, but it is your fight to give up. And so many people will hurt you terribly, but the way you come back from it will entail your future. You may feel temporary sadness, but I can assure you that in a couple weeks you will be happy with your friends and family. Maybe you need a break from everybody and need a trip by yourself to see your family," He looked shocked at what I had said and I knew I said everything he needed to hear. But I also knew that what I had said had gotten to him, because it seemed to lighten up his spirits. But of course the time we had,w as short lived as everybody came back in the house, they came into Scotty's room. Toddy looked at me skeptically, but then knew that I was just trying to help so he let it be for now. Everyone wanted to go out to eat but I was exhausted, so I decided that i would stay in for the night and just edit videos.

I had gotten just a few things unpacked like my laptop and a couple pairs of comfortable clothing, since I would be moving into my new apartment tomorrow. I sat down on my bed and worked on sorting out everything in my latest video, which was of packing my room and getting ready for my room. Of course, I cried about three times while editing, but I knew that it would be the best thing for me. This was the start of my new life, and I was going to experience some of the best moments here in LA.

I had worked hard for the degree I had, and knew that it would be the best decision I ever made to start making videos on Youtube. I would be able to make about $400,000 or more working as a financial advisor for Youtube. Making vlogs everyday about my college life and everything else gave me the opportunity I had today. Youtube noticed me and realized my dreams, and gave me a call asking if I would love to join their team in just a couple months time. I automatically said yes and started to make the transition. I found an apartment that was close to the headquarters, and bought a white 2017 Audi A4 with the money I had saved up for a while. But I knew I would eventually get lonely living all that way up there, but I would not let myself struggle. I needed to grow up and be independent; something I was not for so long.

I shut my light off finally after editing for a couple hours, and laid down in bed. I was excited for tomorrow, and I hoped that everything would be great from now in my life, despite little troubles in the way.
