"Tayyy Tayyyyy!" My best friend, Luke, yelled to me from the front door upstairs. I ran to the door and engulfed him in a huge hug. I hadn't seen him is 2 weeks. He was traveling in southern California and went to Vid Con and Teen Hoot.

"How's my fave YOUTUBER?!" I screamed and gave him a huge kiss on the cheek.

We have been best friend since he moved in across the street from me when I was 3 and he was 4. I'm now 16 and he is 17. I'm a junior in high school and he is a senior.

Luke became famous when he was 14 ish and had 5k fans, and now thanks to me, has 20k fans. I am like his manager or agent. I am in some of his videos, but since I'm not really very funny, I stay out of them as much as possible.

We talked and hung out for a while. He told me how he met O2L, ThatSoJack, JenxPenn, Andrea Russet, Acacia Clark, and so many more people.

"Y-you met.....ACACIA CLARK?!" I shrieked.

Acacia Clark is my idol. She is why I have the courage to get up in the morning.

She has been bullied for making mistakes, and I can totally relate. I made the mistake of going to a high school party last year and I got really drunk. I was dancing on the tables, making out with random people, even girls, and I took off my shirt and whipped it across the room. People took pictures, posted them places and I still haven't outlived it. I was called a slut, whore, skank, bitch, lesbian, stripper, and so much more. People made fun of me in the hallways, emotionally and physically abused me, and so I started cutting. I cut for about 5 months and just got over it about 2 months ago. It was really hard for me. I had wanted to commit suicide multiple times, but Luke was the only reason I never did. He kept me grounded. He's the best. He gets me completely. 

"Tatum. Whatcha thinking about?" He asked me when we were watching The Foster's later that night.

"Just..last year..but it's okay. I was thinking about how blessed I am to have you in my life. I love you Lukeyy." I answered him.

"I love you too Tatum. Cutie pieeee. I'll always be here for you!" He said and poked my side. I squirmed and laughed.

My phone vibrated, so I pulled it out and read the text.

 Tatum. You ugly whore. Go die. I heard you stopped cutting? Why? You should be dead right now. You ugly bitch!

My eyes got watery and the tears flooded out. Luke read the text and comforted me. He deleted the message and shut my phone off.

We sat like that for a while, until I overcome myself and we went back to watching tv. We were silent. He was rubbing my back, as I sat cuddle up to him.

Luke looked over at me and smiled. He kissed my forehead and whispered to me, "You're gonna love this..I got Acacia's phone number!"

I sat up and looked into his eyes. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Then, I snatched his phone from him, got her number and added it into my contacts.

"OMFG! TEXT HER NOWW!" I yelled while whacking him with a pillow for not telling me sooner.

I couldn't believe it. My role model. My best friend has her number..
