Welcome to L.A.

A deal is a deal (Unedited)

"Do you really mean what you said?"

"Which part? I've said so many things that trying to remember gives me headaches..."

"How lonely you think you are? How miserable you are because you got blind? How you think they'll laugh after seeing what you've been through? Do you really mean all this? You might have no certain identity, but you have your history to define it the way you want it to be. Where you're born doesn't have to be your only origin or... whatever defines who you are inside. You might still be an outsider here for every American... well, United Saters you'll cross, but, to me, you're not. you are the closest to the sister Ash has ever had. Does it sound familiar? It must. I watched the full video you know? You can still become whatever you want to be and it certainly shouldn't be French or English. You can have both. Be both. You're born in a bilingual country aren't you6 You must understand that more than anyone else here." My silence makes him getting closer and holding like always does.

"I do. I do, but... That's my biggest demon. You know that already."

"You certainly haven't told me anything new, but hearing it from you, right now, makes everything I already know even more hurtful. You are not miserable, okay? You are the only survivor of a major accident. It was all over the American news. All. Over. You don't know yet, but so much has happened last month and I wish you already knew, but you don't... and if you want to know... you'll have to come with her."

"I can't believe that you're..."

"I'm not, I don't want to force you by messing with you, but... the only one who has this full copy is Ash. He's giving to Maddy if you agree to come. If you don't, he'll keep it and God knows what he'll do with it. It'll be up to him. He did an amazing job and it'll be a shame if you miss hearing all that's been said."

"What do you have in mind?" I say after leaning on him.

"What about a deal?"

"Hmm... Making a deal with a crazy YouTuber. What could it be?"

"Hey!" He pushes my shoulder playfully and laughs. "Right... I'm getting quite crazy with Ash sometimes..."

"Most of the time actually." I say smirking.

"Okay, most of the time, but I do have something to offer. As Daniel West."

"Daniel West... Someone I've met before?"

"Indeed. You met him everytime we were together. Alone."

"It wasn't just for the channel? The 24/7s?"

"It might was... the first times, but I decided to be myself for you and not for Them once I found out how important you are to me."

"And how was I important to you at that time?"

"I know it's hard to believe with all these cameras."

"Ya think? I never know if the whole will know my secrets before my best friends. How cool is that huh?"

"I know... And I'm sorry about that. At least you'll see it was worth it if you come."

"Okay, okay, I trust you and all, but I... need that answer."

"You always do aren't you?" He kisses my head as I "look" at my feet over thinking again. "I get it, it's a need for you to hear it from something else than you to prove yourself that you're not the only one thinking that way. Hearing it is worth money and fame, isn't it? Well, let me lead you to that glorifying you've been waiting for in Montreal. You'll see how much a lot of people care about you. For now, let's just say that I fell in love with and I didn't want you to be in a relationship with Hayes. I'm a... West now and I... need someone who knows me as him and not the celebrity I've become. I needed someone to trust and I chose you until that day."
