I pressed record on the camera, it flashed signalling it had started;

"Hey angels and welcome back to another video. You might be wondering why I'm in a hoodie with no makeup and my hair shoved into a messy bun. I wanted to do a stripped down video and show the real me." I felt my eyes burning with tears. "I feel like I've never been myself on YouTube, because I was so, so scared of being judged or hated or critiqued. I never posted myself on the internet, because I was so self conscious. But, since joining Team 10 and making a whole new bunch of friend in the past 2 weeks, I feel like I'm ready to show myself as the real me. Y/N, L/N. This me and I'm done pretending. So, with that said I think I'm going to start vlogging, a lot of people in Team 10 do it and I find it really fun to participate. So, for now they'll be posted on this channel. So, they'll be a vlog everyday and a main channel video on Tuesdays & Sundays. It may adjust or change, because that's a lot of editing. I hope you'll all stick around and continue to show me the incredible support that you have done for the past 2 years. I love you all, if you're new subscribe and hit the bell, so you're notified every time I upload a video and leave a huge thumbs up. Mwah."

I blew a kiss and turned the camera off. It felt so good to have everything off my chest, I uploaded it and sat replying to some comments. Then, an influx of hate came in. I was called 'fake', 'manipulative', 'ugly without makeup on', 'using Team 10'...The list went on. I broke down and just sobbed. My door opened and Jake came in. "Hey what's wrong?" He asked, sitting next to me. I couldn't speak, my tears were completely choking me. "The hate on my new video." I cried, he turned my laptop to face him, still holding me and scrolled through the comments. "You are fucking beautiful, kind, funny, smart and your work ethic is incredible. Your videos help so, so many people. I love you so much Y/N." I looked up at him, it had completely slipped out. "I-I'm sorry." He stuttered, his face completely red. "I think I love you too." I whispered. I leant forward and he wiped away my tears. We had the most passionate, heated kiss. "Wow." He whispered after we pulled apart. I held his hand. "Promise me you'll never leave me..." I whispered. "Never." He whispered back.
