Phoenix uses her brothers for fame. The only reason she has so many followers is because Dan lets her film a few videos with him. @PhoenixHowell

I stared at the tweet. I used all the power within me not to reply with a rude or sarcastic remark back. Instead untagged myself from the tweet. It made me upset but I tried to ignore it.
It was Saturday today. Dan and Phil had asked Adrain and I if we would like to have a "family outing" and spend the day together. "Phoenix, are you up?" Dan said in his morning voice. It was almost 11 AM but 11 at the Howell/Lester residence is like being up at 5.
"Yeah." I replied back.
"Okay, Phil wants to leave a bit after noon." Dan told me. I got out of bed and began to get ready. I looked in the mirror and tried to tame my curly hair. I didn't wear makeup often but today I felt a little more insecure than usual so I decided to put some on. I wore a lighter purple color with a dark crease and did my eyeliner. Then I put on a very long red and white flannel with a black top underneath, black jeans and vans.
Adrain knocked on my door a few minutes after I had finished getting ready. It was really nice that he has finally been trying to get back to normal.
Within minutes we were both laughing our asses off at some random memes from Twitter. I was so happy to finally have my brother back in my life.
"Do you guys want to head out now?" I heard my other brother call to us. We grabbed our things. I hopped onto Adrain's back and he carried me down the stairs.
"What's on the agenda today, Phil?" Dan asked him.
"Food. Definitely food."
We all decided on going to a place called "Cards with Coffee" which was a small café with lots of board games. We sat down at a table and our choices of tea and coffee came. Phil held up his phone and snapped a picture of us al enjoying our drinks and playing games in a huddle around our table. We were in the middle of a round of Jenga when my phone buzzed with notifications from Twitter. I had been tagged in four posts, each from the same account as from this morning.

@PhoenixHowell is a fatass motherfucking attention whore. She can't go one day without being on Phil or Dan's timeline. Can you believe this?

@PhantasticPhan1282
@PhoenixHowell is a fake. I'm sure it's just all for publicity.

@PhantasticPhan1282
Phoenix would have been much more attractive is she was born a real Howell. Bet her birth parents abandoned her after seeing her god awful face.

@PhantasticPhan1282
Phoenix is bad for Dan and Phil's image. Please go away.

I could feel my chest tighten as I read those tweets. My hands shook and my mind went blurry. I could feel my stomach burn. I clasped my hands around myself and tried to calm down before my brothers or Phil noticed. I breathe in deeply and closed my eyes and prayed that the pain would go away.
My phone buzzed once more, this time a text from Tyde.

From Tyde: Hey beautiful! I know you're on a family outing but I thought you might be let out at some point tonight to come over? I love you so much. Text back when you can, love.❤️

I sighed, feeling a bit better from the affection from Tyde.

To Tyde: Hellooo babes! I would love that. I can ask Dan if it's alright, I'm sure it is. I love you so much more. I'll text you a bit later.❤️

I was brought back to reality when a pair of snapping fingers appeared in front of my face.
"Are you alright?" Dan asked, his hand on my knee.
"Yeah, I just got a bit distracted." I lied, "Tyde."
"You frickin' lovebirds." Dan poked at my cheek.
