I go to upload my Vlog from the March on my YouTube channel. In the previous days, I've gained a huge following. Probably because mom posted about it everywhere. After it uploads, I go on the trending page. Yep,  my first video is up there with the Logan Paul being stupid in Japan video. I look at the trending list list: 'Logan Paul', 'That one Hamilton kid' and this challenge. A challenge would boost my following and I would get noticed more. I look at what the challenge is. You just have to eat a Tide Pod. It's really dumb, but, at the time, it seemed like a good idea. I remember that Renée had a bag of Tide Pods on the counter. I go find it and take one Tide Pod out. I then go to my bedroom, sit on my bed and start filming. "Hello everyone! It's Nicole and welcome back to another Video! Today I am doing a challenge for you guys. So, lately, I've been seeing this trending thing called the Tide Pod challenge. And I'm going to be doing that today." I start to put it up to my mouth. Then, I hear the door to my room start to open and Pippa scream "NICOLE! NO!" She comes over, grabs the Tide Pod in one hand, and my hand in the other. I quickly turn off my camera. Pippa rushes me down to where Renée now is in the kitchen. "Renée?" Pippa says. "Yes?" Renée says. "Your daughter tried to kill herself." Pippa says. "I didn't try to kill myself." I say. "If you put that in your mouth you could have died." Renée says. "Oh." I say, looking down at my feet. "I don't know what I would do If I had lost you." Renée says and I cry into her arms. Pippa lets us have our moment. "Phillipa." I say before she leaves. "Yes?" She asks. "Thank you. For saving my life." I say. "Your so welcome." She says. "Well, I need to tell your father and remember Nicole. No more stupid internet challenges." Renée says. "Okay mom. I'm sorry." I say. "Please don't be mad." I finish. "I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed."
