Not What He Seems

My POV

I woke up stretching out my arms knowing the last few days of Summer had just begun, and I had to get supplies ready for the Fall and Winter. I got out my phone out to check YouTube causally.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I lived in the country, alone somewhere...

My parents abandoned me when I was five. I was left walking through the cold when I saw a nearby vacant barn in the middle of a widespread field nobody owned. I've lived and survived here ever since. I am now twelve, living here for seven years. A rule I've learned the years I've scavenged here was,

Never go out into the field at night.

Wolves, coyotes, bears... you'll get killed out there.

I only had a phone and charger from one day a bag was left on the roadside, that must have been dropped from a car who never came back for it, and couldn't go back for it, because a few days after, the road was torn away and grass took its place, leaving me left in an acre wide of grass surrounded by trees.

The bag also had a wallet, with loads of cash in it that would sadly make no use since there was no store for miles here. And there was makeup, deodorant, gum, and spray that would come in handy for the terrible stench.

Now just because I had a phone and charger with me didn't change a thing that I could go lazy at all. I still had to keep up on my crops everyday, and make sure no holes from any rodents were near.

Night was the best time of the day I'd ever have.

I got the phone when I was seven, so I really wasn't as smart as you think compared to today.

I looked on the first app I set my eyes on. A red square with a white play button in the middle. YouTube.

I clicked on random videos looking at random comments. One commenter I kept on seeing appear caught my attention after awhile.

jacksepticeye.

Now don't get me wrong, it's weird to subscribe to a random commenter you simply keep seeing reappear consistently, but I was seven, and I hadn't known a clue what YouTube was at that time. But I had no regrets doing so in the first place.

I subscribed to nobody else except him. And then I was done with YouTube that day.

After awhile, he began to post videos of his own, gaining much attention quickly. Nowadays you see people comment FIRST! on videos, but I always had my phone around to see a notifications of jacksepticeye had popped up. As soon as it did, I'd click it, like the video instantly. Comment something nice depending on the title, and watch the video.

It right now is the year of 2017, and to see how popular he has gotten has made me tear up sometimes.

All these years he has pushed me out of the toughest times, always making me laugh and make me sometimes talk to the screen.

Nothing has ever went wrong with the barn Except for maybe some rodents at times, but they'd go away quickly.

This year in particular, was different.

The barn came with a little windmill on its roof. One day the windmill spun like madness while the sky was gray and lightning struck with pouring rain. I didn't know why until it literally tore off. I looked in the direction it went to towards to which was, a twister heading straight for my house.

I ran, grabbing everything I could, from the bag, to the charger and phone, to a few crops, and then dashed for the forest.

I made it to the forest just in time. I watched in terror as the twister destroyed my crops and tore off the barn's roof.
