Reid's Point Of View

The video montage Nate edited starts playing. That's how we decided on doing this opening. It basically tells how we all got to where we are now. 2 years ago we made the channel. Now we have about 87 million subscribers. That's 8.7 million subscribers per person. On our personal channels Nate has the most with 84 million subscribers. Then Hunter with 81 million subscribers, me with 80 million subscribers, Ryan with 79 million subscribers, Dakota with 76 million subscribers, Angelina with 75 million subscribers, Clay with 72 million and then Ace with 69 million. It's really just a dream. Having this many people support us all.

"Ready?" I ask him. I know that he's not always open, but this is a good way for him to be more open.

"Yeah," he says. When the time is right he goes on stage followed by the rest of us.

When I get out there I can't believe it. There are so many people. I didn't think this many people would show up. I mean plans did change. This is just the q & a. The song ends. We're all out here taking this feeling in. The crowd is still going wild.

"Oh my... This is a lot of people," Dakota says into her mic on her shirt.

"Yeah," Angelina says.

"Before we start anything, I think I say this for everyone up here. But thank you so much for coming. It really means a lot," I say.

"Yeah," Hunter says, "Thanks."

"For those of you that don't know much about this event. The event is for celebrating our 2 year anniversary of our shared channel, 2ndChances," Nate says.

"Yeah thanks for 87 million subscribers, its really a dream," I say.

"Introduction?" Ryan says to me.

"Oh yeah, for those of you who don't know our names. Well, let's give you a quick introduction. I'm Reid," I start. The rest say their names in order.

"I'm Ryan."

"Ace."

"Dakota."

"Nate."

"Lina."

"Clay."

"Reese."

"Cameron."

"Hunter."

"Remember, all we have is now, so let's be grateful and live life to the fullest," I say.

"I mean, you only live once guys," Nate says.

"Let's get started," Ryan says, "We asked you guys on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for questions. We got a lot of answers."

"Also, we'll have a live challenge tomorrow with another shorter q & a," Nate says as a reminder.

"First question. What's it like to be up on stage knowing that your fanbase supports you, Nate,"I say.

"Well

"Well. It's actually kinda scary I guess. It's the first time, but having such a supportive fanbase is really amazing. I think we all really appreciate it," he says.

"Next question. Reid, when did you come out?" Ryan says.

"I um

"I um... Well I never actually did," I say, "I just did what I wanted and didn't tell anyone I was actually gay. People just found out. But I guess I'm coming clean now. I'm gay and I'm proud," I say. "Parkour or free running?" I say, "Parkour."

"Free running," Hunter says

"Free running," Hunter says.

"Free running," Ryan says.

"Parkour," Nate says.

"Can't decide," Angelina says.

"Free running," Dakota says.

"Neither. I'd rather do some winter sport," Clay says.

"Yeah. Neither," Ace says.

"Next question. Favorite parkour stunt? Can you do it?" Nate says, "I actually don't know..."

"Ha! Mine's a front flip," Ryan says.

I start seeing black splotches. What the hell?

"Hey, you okay?" Ryan asks me. He's by my side with his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm good," I say, "Just a little dizzy."

"Here," Hunter says throwing a water bottle to Ryan who then gives it to me.

"Yeah, I'm probably just dehydrated," I say then open the bottle and take a gulp.

This is just so strange. I don't know what's going on.

"Anyway. Who's a lefty?" Hunter continues.

"I am," Nate says.

"Me too," I say.

"Same here," Cameron says.

"Funny thing about this question and why I picked it. I actually figured out the percentages of each of them for how left handed they are," Hunter says.

He told me that he was only doing it on Nate. Jesus Hunter.

"What percentage do you guys think they are?" Hunter asks the others on stage with us.

"Reid's 70%, Cameron's 75%, and Nate's 97%," Ryan says.

"Reid: 88%, Cameron: 90%, and Nate: 91%," Ace says.

"Nate's 100%, Reid's 97%, and Cameron's 96%," Angelina says.

"An even 89% for all," Dakota says.

"I have no idea," Clay says.

"I didn't even know Reid was a lefty," Reese says, "Nate's 70%, Cameron's 80%, and Reid's 60%?"

"Okay then, I'll give you the answers. 90% is Cameron, 91% is Reid, and finally, Nate is actually 94% left handed," Hunter says, "Insanity."
