The Start

Everything is in set and ready. The filming room is clean and spotless, the whole house is clean and spotless, for the most part. The filming equipment is all set up and ready. Fridge stocked, lighting perfect, phone charged and candles burning. Everything is ready for thee Tyler Oakley to come over and film. He was my first person to subscribe to, my first fandom and he is my queen. I have been watching him since I started and seen how he climbed his way up the ladder into YouTube fame. Almost hitting my 100,000 subscriber, I managed to get him to come over and do a collab with me for a special 'Happy 100,000' video. Not only is it my 100,000 but its also my first collab. I am so nervous which doesn't help me at all.

The doorbell rings, singling that someone is at the door. Obviously, it's him. Running to the door so he doesn't have to wait out in the sweltering heat, I open the door revealing a short blonde haired man with big lens glasses and a hug teethe smile revealing his perfectly white teeth.

"Hello!" We both say at the same time. To my surprise he hugged me like someone would hug a best friend. Well, that really shouldn't surprise me.

"Oh my god, it's you!" He says with his amazing high pitch voice. His hand is on my waste in a friendly way.

"I should be saying that! I have freaking Tyler Oakley on my porch." It's true, I should be freaking out right now.

"But, I am on the porch of SunnyJo's house! What's not to love."

"Guess your right. Come on inside. Do you want anything to drink or to eat?" I step to the side so he could come inside. He ask for some water which I happily get him. We sit at the kitchen table talking about two things to film. One for my channel, one for his. My 'mom' comes into the kitchen to get some juice.

"Oh my god, it this your famous mother?" He asks looking surprised and happy to see her. On a few of my videos, I have me calling to my 'mom' asking her about something. She has a french accent and a raspy voice and always calls back saying something funny. My viewers seem to like it. But she isn't my blood related mom. She adopted me when I was ten.

"What do you want?" She asks, obviously kidding. But Tyler didn't seem to see that and he looked nervous.

"I'm just kidding! Hello, darling! What's your name? Oh my your such a pretty boy!" She says squeezing his cheeks. My mom has no idea what personal space is.

"Mom, can you please leave. We are going over things to film." I ask her. She huffs and leaves the room muttering things under her breath saying how I am an ungrateful daughter and blah blah blah. The list goes on.

"Oh my, I love your mother," He says taking a sip of water. "I think we should do some challenges."

"Okay, I love a great challenge. What challenges?"

"Let's do the smoothie and Makeup challenge."

"Ya I could do your makeup for your channel and we could do the smoothie challenge for my channel."

"Great, lets do the smoothie challenge first."

We get up and go through my cabinets for things to use. After looking I find peeps, Nutella, hard boiled eggs, applesauce, peaches, spam and anchovies. While Tyler finds frozen yogurt, cake, jellybeans, pizza, carrots, ketchup and spinach. This should be interesting.

Our smoothies were absolutely disgusting. Mine had the strong taste of spam and eggs while Tyler's tasted like anchovies and spinach. It was a very interesting challenge and we had lots of fun. We also learned quiet a bit about each other like how Tyler is an inch shorter than me. He really does act exactly like he does in his videos. That's one thing I like about him is that he doesn't act differently in front or behind a camera. He is always this ambitious cheeky man that is nice but sassy to everyone. He is my inspiration. He is brave and doesn't care what anybody else thinks about him and I really admire that. We also did the makeup challenge. I had to blindfold myself and put makeup on Tyler which went well, I guess. He ended up looking like a sad clown that did his makeup without a mirror. It was so much fun, I couldn't stop laughing. And when I saw him after I was done, it was the best. And his reaction was hilarious. I asked him if he wanted to sleepover since it was late and he lives three hours away which he agrees to. We are laying on my bed just talking about things we want to do in the future.

"I want to move out of this town. See the world. Be young." I say daydreaming about traveling around.

"What's stopping you?" He turns onto his side to look at me.

"I don't know. I guess I'm to scared. I don't want to do it alone, I want a friend to be there with me."

"Well, why don't you move in with me. We can be roommates."

"Are you serious?!" I sit up and sit on my knees.

"Yeah, I'm serious. It would be awesome to have you live with me. And I get lonely living by myself."

"Oh my god, Tyler! Yes! Yes!" I jump on him and squeeze him to death.

"Yet packing! You can come with me tomorrow." Oh my god, I am going to live with Tyler! This is amazing. I get up and run to my door.

"Mom!"

"What!?"

"I'm moving!"

"Finally!"

I laugh and get my suit case from my closet and put all my clothes into it. Along with my makeup, hair products, toiletries, and favorite stuff animal, Puppy. I had him since I was a little girl and I can't leave him. I then pack up my filming equipment. I am actually doing this. No reason why I can't. I don't have a job, all my friends live miles away at collage or University. I was the only one out of my friends that stayed behind. I still don't know what I want to do with my life when it comes to careers so I took a gap year to think about it. Maybe this is what I need. To move away and discover things. See things. Meet people. To live my life. To be free. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me and quiet possible the crazies thing. To just move in with a man I just met. Although, I highly doubt he is a murder or anything but it is still almost idiotic. I don't know what this man is capable of but I just need to do it. I need to discover things and most of all, myself and what I want.

"I'm ready." I say putting the two bags into the corner of my room. I am going to miss this room quiet a bit. It's been my room for ten years, ever since my mom adopted me. From my first kiss to my first video, this room has all my memories. And I am leaving it behind.

"We should probably get some sleep. It's a long car ride back." Tyler says laying back on my bed. I follow suit and lay down on the other side. I've only been to LA once and that was with my... father. All those years ago. He had a court case and took me along with him. A real crap dad he was. I hate thinking about him, I always feel lost, alone, weak. But he always some how crosses my mind. Which isn't good for my anxiety problems. He is a monster really. I don't blame my real mom from leaving him after I was born. Why would someone want an accidental baby and an abusive partner. Why does my mind have to think about him. He is the reason why I'm like this.

Thankfully, my mind manages to slip into a sleep.

A small girl sits in her room playing with dolls, softly murmuring what they are saying to herself. The over all feeling of reality relishes. Time slips by unnoticed however wanting to be realized. This small girl isn't just a simple minded being with the only thing that crosses her mind is happy go lucky thoughts. No, this girl has so many decisions to make that should be left for an adult. Life decisions. She understands so much that if any adult was told what goes on in her mind, they would be scared for the girls well being. A child shouldn't understand these things. A child shouldn't have to have heard of these things. The girl learned that the hard way. She almost messed things up and made her daddy very angry. She learned to never discuss what happens to her.

"Baby, what are you doing out of bed. It's time to sleep." A mans voice is heard. She doesn't move or say a thing other than:

"Yes, daddy."
