Gableen: The Back Row

(24)

Colleen's POV:
3..2..1.. The clip I had previously edited in started rolling. It was a small compilation of fan made videos, tweets and messages responding to our leaked photos and hinting posts. "Hey guys it's Colleen!" "Hey everyone it's Gabbie!" "You've probably noticed that we've been around each other a bunch lately, and many of you little detectives have already sussed us out even before we had time to give you this message" I say to the camera, throwing my arm around Gabbie's neck "I can finally announce officially, that yes me and Gabbie are dating!" I squeal looking at her, as she blushes back to me. She scoots closer to me and she places her hand around my waist for the remainder of the video. "You guys have shown so much love and support to us these past few weeks and we wanted to say thank you" she continues "so this year, me and Colleen will be going on tour together! So tell us where you want us to visit because we will be checking the comments all through this week!" She announces, it's great to finally be able to tell them. I already feel the weight drop of my shoulders, no more worrying in public, no more hiding. "Next video we will be announcing the tour destinations so stay tuned!" I say as she begins distracting me by flicking my hair into my face causing me to giggle "So that's it for this video guys, I love you all" "She loves me more" she whispers to the camera. I throw myself onto her and pretend to start kissing her "goodbyeeeee!" before covering the camera and gently pressing against her lips.
She pushes me off and jumps up pulling me to the sofa, before sitting down and patting me to sit on her lap.

We sit and edit the video for a while as I put together the compilations and so on, as Gabbie acts like she's helping, but really just sits and locks onto my eyes. I take my eyes off the laptop and look into hers, "Gabs?" I say at a sudden thought "What's up?" She whispers in a raspy, sexy tone sweeping a few strands of hair out my face "Don't you think we should let our family and friends know first? It would be kinda mean to not let them know beforehand?" I question. "Your right, we will let them know now, how well do you think they will take it?" She askes "They were very supportive of me coming out as bi, so I don't think it'll be a problem, but my only concern is.. Rachel" She freezes, it hasn't really crossed either of our minds what her opinion of us is, she obviously didn't approve, but neither of us had a clue how to approach her. "She will catch on when the video comes out, don't let her bother you" she says trying to comfort me "Your right, okay well I'll message the family, you message some close friends okay?" She nods and we both get to texting.
I begin by messaging Christopher, Jessica, Trent, and Mom and Dad.
Chris: I'm so happy for you sis! Congrats x
Jessica: OMG! I knew it, lots of love xx
Trent: Yay!
Mom & Dad: We are so happy for you Colleen! Let's meet up soon, love you! X
I peer over and see that also Gabbie, is overwhelmed with messages from all our friends, I couldn't feel happier. Yet now, it was time for the real judges to take their opinion - our fans. "Are you ready Gabs?" I say pulling her into a hug, she nods and I click upload.

Similar to the last video we uploaded together, we sat and watched the numbers on the screen increase fast. Our phones blowing up with messages from friends and exited fans.

Going onto twitter I refresh my feed to see a tweet from Rachel "It's good know sisters tell each other about their relationships, oh never mind" I sulk back into my chair, realising she's now not only created more drama, but now our fans knew we had a feud and it wasn't coming to an end any time soon.
Gabbie caressed my back as she realised the reason I was upset "Look at your positive comments!" She proposes, trying to take my mind off my sister. It worked too, reading all the fans supportive comments was enlightening to say the least. I could wait to meet some of them.

I began writing down a few ideas for tour destinations "Gabs how far are you wanting to go on this tour babe?" I say, fiddling with the pen in my hand "Any where away with you" she smiles, leaning her head on my shoulder. Hmm, "I'm thinking a tour of Europe, it's somewhere I've never really stayed long before?" "I'd love to go to Europe!" She replied clapping her hands in excitement.
The idea was that for this tour I'd just be myself rather than Miranda, being with my girlfriend I'd rather not have her feel like shes not equally part of the tour, so I'll be myself. Although.. that does mean I'll still need some extra help.. we're going to need a crew, it'll be fun having some other people hang out with us too. "I think we should invite some friends to come along to Gabs, we can't do with by ourselves and it would be good fun" Kory instantly pops into my mind, and so does... Rachel.. she's always been there for me at my own shows, I'm not used to her not being around for so long, she can't come along right? I try and shake off the thought and presume to thinking who else might want to come "How about Joey and Liza?" "They loved your show and I'm sure they'd love to come with us" "Good idea Gabs" I nod and continue thinking "We probably don't need many more people, but I'd love for Lilly Singh and Kory to come along as well, they are both so fun to be around" I ask, "Sounds like a team!" She giggles, we both text each friend asking them on the idea. "So it looks like Lilly and Kory are free" "Joey and Liza are down too" I smile at our new team, the fact more creators are coming will probably entice more fans along too, it'll be like a huge Meet and Greet. This is going to be amazing.

Gabbie's POV:
I feel Colleen tug on my arm and yank me upstairs, we crash onto the bed and I notice her eyes glisten in the light, seeming half distracted "What's up Colleen, I know something's on your mind?" I say pinning her hands down and leaning over her figure "Ok, so this sounds crazy" she begins "I, I need Rachel to come with us.." I accidentally grip too hard onto her wrist as my initial instinct is shock, she winces and pulls away "I'm sorry WHAT?" I say looking down at her "She goes with me everywhere, it wouldn't feel right without her. Gabbie it's time to fix things between me and her, she's my sister and I don't feel the same without her" she says beginning to well up, I understand what she means, it's a crazy idea but there's no stopping her now it's set in her mind "If you thinks it's for the better, id give her some time though, don't message her today as she seems kinda pissed off.. more than usual. We will try talk to her about it tomorrow okay?" She beams with a genuine smile and I get the impression that's what we will do.

For the remaining hours we get takeaway and watch Netflix in bed, replying to fans who are going crazy with support and love, and now we were going to fix things with Rachel, I finally allowed myself to relax, for today at least.
