The Assistant (Jacksepticeye) (Markiplier) (Pewdiepie)

Chapter Fifteen

1 MONTH LATER

AMANDA

"I can't believe how fast this app has come together Felix, I have a good feeling about this."

I put down the latest round of concept art for 'PewDiePie: Tuber Simulator' really happy with the progress and how very soon we'd have the beta to play around with. Felix spins around in his chair opposite me.

"Just wait until you start seeing the money partner, this is your baby just as much as mine."

I roll my eyes, the money wasn't that important to me but it would be nice to have my name on something.

"Are you ready for the tour? Marzia hinted that I need to get onto you about starting to pack."

Felix snorts, "I knew she'd set you on me Amanda because no one can say no to you."

I wink across the table, I had that sort of effect on people. The tour kicked off next Monday, and it was Friday now so we'd get to see the tour bus on Sunday and Mark flew in Saturday night. I was already packed as was Sean but Felix liked leaving things to the last minute.

"Are you excited to see your boyfriend Amanda? I couldn't do the long-distance relationship."

I nod, "of course I am, talking on Skype isn't the same as seeing your other half in person."

Felix stops spinning around and locks eyes with me shooting me a concerned look, "is everything okay with you and Mark? You can tell me anything."

Was it that obvious you weren't over the moon about seeing Mark again. Something had happened a week ago and Mark had sort of been distant, saying he had YouTube stuff to attend to.

"We were Skyping when I got a message from Sean asking me to come around to his because he was having a bad day but we'll leave it at that because Sean swore me to secrecy, and I told Mark I had to cut our call short and I saw an immediate change in his face, he looked pissed off. He pretty much told me he was sick of all the time I was spending with Sean and that I cared more about him then making our relationship work. And before he hung up he didn't outright accuse me of cheating, but hinted he had his suspicions."

Felix's concern morphs to anger, and I didn't know if it was aimed at me or Mark. I wasn't cheating on Mark with Sean, I loved Mark but I couldn't be with someone who didn't trust me when he was away. I wasn't about to stop being friends with Sean, we needed each other and I wasn't going to leave him alone.

"That doesn't sound like Mark. Does Mark know that all you and Sean have is a friendship?"

I sigh, "I think Sean's even tried to reassure him that nothing's going on between us other than talking and making the occasional YouTube video."

Felix taps his fingers on the table, "are you still okay to come on tour with us since Mark will be there?"

I fold my arms across my chest, "of course I am, he'll just have to grow up."

Felix throws his head back and laughs, "That's my girl. Now, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?"

I shrug my shoulders, "I've got all my work wrapped up for while we're away and Marzia wants to take me into town for a girly afternoon if that's okay."

"You can get off whenever Amanda, I don't want to take you away from my girl and face her wrath."

Giggling, I gather up my notebook and phone off the table and throw them into my bag. Marzia mentioned having a makeover, and with everything going on I was feeling a new hair colour to showcase a new me before the tour kicked off.

MARK

Felix calling...

I open Skype and accept the video call wondering what Felix wanted since we'd arranged everything for the tour a couple of days ago. The Swede appears on the screen and the smile falls from my face as I take in his rather annoyed expression aimed at me.

"Err hi Felix, what's wrong?"

Felix huffs, "what the hell's wrong with you Mark? Amanda's the best thing to ever happen to you and you're ready to throw it all away over some stupid out of place paranoia towards Sean."

So Amanda had talked to Felix about the last time we talked and now I was going to face the Swedish wrath. Everything he was saying was true, there was no doubting I was in the wrong here.

"I don't know what's going on Felix. The last girl I dated cheated on me with one of my good friends so I guess I'm paranoid it could happen again."

Some of the anger leaves Felix's face, "does Amanda know any of this?"

I shake my head, "It's not something many people know. And the way Amanda and Sean are around each other is just like my last relationship."

Felix sighs loudly, "nothing romantic is going on between Sean and Amanda. She really likes you Mark but the way you've been acting is starting to push her away. Sean's one of your best friends, do you think he'd hurt you this way? Answer me honestly Mark."

I lean back in my chair, running my fingers through my hair. I was clearly in the wrong here and needed to make amends.

"No, Sean wouldn't do that to me and neither would Amanda. I'm an idiot aren't I?"

Felix rolls his eyes, "no shit Sherlock. Now how are you going to make things right?"

That was where I was shooting blanks, I didn't know how to make things right. I couldn't just call Amanda and ask her to forgive me, I needed a gesture to show her how much she meant to me. I also needed to get some things off my chest to Sean.

"I honestly don't know Felix, I screwed up pretty bad didn't I?"

The Swede chews his lips, "yes you did Mark now make it right before things escalate because I don't want have to pick sides down the line."

We say goodbye and he hangs up on me leaving me alone with my thoughts in my recording room. I was going to make a new video but now I didn't feel in the mood to fake a smile for the fans.
