[1/3] NEVER LEAVE ME│s.m

seventeen

"Simon's Log Day 6," Simon sighs with a pout on his face. "Didn't wake up to anything I've been missing recently this morning but I hope to make the best of today anyways." End of clip.

I watch the rest, enjoying his sudden mood change as he shows my face to the camera.

"She's back, guysssss!" he cheers, kissing my cheek. I giggled, jokingly wiping it off. He gasps a 'rude' and scoffs as he dramatically turns his head. But the clip doesn't end.

I had walked off, the camera now facing me. "Damn, look at my girl," someone said with pride and confidence. "Shit, I gotta edit that out."

My face goes red. Bright red.

I jump out of the chair as someone pounces on the back of it, the person being Simon.

"Almost done?" he questions.

"Y-yeah," I stutter, pushing him away so I could finish 'editing'.

In the other clips he kept mentioning about how I was his and then something similar to 'I need to cut that out' following right after it.

I felt butterflies in my stomach, my heart skipping every time he said his thoughts aloud. But I stopped before watching anymore, allowing him the rest of his privacy.

After finishing my editing, I upload the vlog to my channel. I open Twitter and send out a simple tweet about my new YouTube channel and how I don't have an uploading schedule set yet.

I get several notifications rolling in- likes, retweets, replies, etc. And also some support from other YouTubers.

As I quickly brushed through my hair and put on a Sidemen hoodie and trackies, I heard Simon call me from downstairs. "Sage! Come here!"

"Coming!" I shout, tossing my hair to one side before grabbing my phone and running down the stairs. "Where are you?" I call out.

"Kitchen!" he responds.
