So here i am, sitting on top of this balcony, watching my big brother do... whatever the hell it is... that he is doing. But right now, i couldn't care less. My whole story has lead up to this moment, when i can finally hug my brother for the first time in years.

There is a huge idiotic smile on my face, as i watch him (and what seems to be his friends?) prance around that little stage while girls squeal at the top of their lungs. I cant hear anything, i cant see anyone else, nothing else matters though. 

He is perfect, his larger-than-life, white smile lights up the stage, his eyes seem to mesmerize everyone around him, his style makes these girls scream, and his heart is making them melt. 

The whole time i have been watching him, he has been nothing but genuine and overwhelmingly happy. It makes me happy to see that at least one of us got what we deserved with our lives. A small tear trickles down my right cheek, and i quickly wipe it away hoping Aunt Karen didn't see.

She sits there scrolling though some social media app on her phone, how could she not be watching this and loving every minute?  She notices me staring at her and looks up at me with a warm smile.

"Are you loving it? Its almost over, and then we can go down and see him." She said it like it was a casual everyday thing, i mean it probably is for her... right?

"I-i don't even know what to say.." I manage to spit out, without taking my eyes off of my brother for a second, "W-what is this, how did this happen t-to him?" I didn't mean it in a bad way, but my astonishment got the best of me.

She laughed, and put her phone down, "that's a good question kid," She shook her head a bit, and beamed down at Cameron. "One minute he is telling us how excited he was that he just hit 100 followers , and the next minute hes getting invited to tour the country and meet his millions of fans." 

I nod my head, "What does he do to get so many supporters and followers though?" I still have so many questions, but i think this Magcon thing is a good place to start.

"Well i don't want to be the one to give away all the excitement, but basically he downloaded this social media app about a year ago.." Aunt Karen looked like she had this story memorized, she probably got this question all the time. But you could surely see it in her enthusiasm just how incredibly proud she was of him.

"Kurt and I thought it was so silly at the time. He would walk around the hose making these short, little, creative videos. And never failing at leaving a mess every time he recorded. His publicity grew drastically. He started with maybe two hundred followers, and then one night he woke up with a million of em'." 

As soon as she said that i thought of my own success story, my YouTube channel had just hit a million before I left, but i thought i should save that story for a rainy day, right now it was Cameron's time to shine.

"So eventually we were contacted by this establishment offering Cameron a spot here at Magcon with eight other boys, and honestly i don't remember life before this.." She trailed off as she turned her head back to the stage to look at the boys, "And the best part is, i now have nine sons, and i get to watch them do what they love everyday of their lives." 

The last sentence really hit me hard, Cameron was surrounded by all these people who loved him, he head eight best friends who were with him at all times. he had Aunt Karen, who was better than any mother I've ever known. He had uncle Kurt, who was probably like a father to him. And he had millions of people supporting him every second of every day. 

"SO JUST REMEMBER, STAY STRONG, AND WE LOVE YOU ALL! GOODNIGHT LA!!" His voice rang through the air, the crowd screamed, the music faded out and the stage went dark.

Cameron had so many good people in his life, and honestly.. he deserved every single one of them.
