Whispering I love you

Touch anything and you go to hell

We piled into a small bus that would take us to our first destination of the day. I was sitting in the window seat as Elton sat in the isle seat with his camera out filming Julia as she told everyone facts about our trip today. I couldn't help but stare out the window as we drove the small distance. I watched as we passed landmarks, shops, cafes, and everything else. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Italy held such a huge place in my heart I honestly could not believe that I was here. So much history surrounded you everywhere you went, it was amazing to just stop and think. I had a list of places I wanted to go and visit while we were here, but Elton had everything already planned. I was down for anything he had planned, I just hoped that for once he didn't plan bungee jumping or sky diving.

We came to a stop just outside Piazza San Pietro or St. Peters Square. We all got out of the car and made our way further into the square itself. We got to the middle of the square before stopping so Elton could get some camera shots. We stood there as Julia continued to talk about the history of the square and the different Popes that the square has seen.

"Wait, so the pope doesn't live here?" Colby asked pointing to the giant church that was in front of us.

"No thats the church." Julia answered "He lives in the apartments just over that way" She pointed to the right. "Its a whole separate building."

"So is that the church with the paintings of dicks?" Heath asked and we all stopped and looked at him. "Ya know the 16th chapel, whatever that Michael Angelo painted." We all mentally did a face palm as Elton started to laugh.

"Its the Sistine Chapel." Jay said with a smile on his face "And it was Michelangelo, who painted the ceiling." Heath made a face and retaliated.

"WHAAATEVVER....I don't know what its Formally called, I'm a dumb American." He said jokingly "I just remember it had a bunch of dicks painted all over it."

"We can tell you're American, don't worry." Sam said as he jokingly pointed out Heaths American dad attire of shorts, Hawaiian shirt, his fishing hat, and white shoes with his white socks pulled up his ankles. We all laughed as Heath blew us off and tried to strut away as if he was on a fashion runway.

After Elton got the shots he needed for the video we made our way into St Peter's Basilica. We all walked around the large church admiring the large pillars and domed ceilings. The artwork that lines the walls is something that one can't even being to describe and give it any sort of justice. I look a minute to sit off to the side where they had a few rows of chairs set up, facing directly towards one of the alters. I let my eyes roam the large church to find each one of my boys.

Jay and Colby were staring at one of the art works on the other side of the alter that I was facing. While Sam, Heath, and Elton were towards the back of the church trying to be very quiet as they joked around in front of the camera. I watched as Elton stepped away from the other two and started to film the church itself. I couldn't help by let my eyes follow him in his quest around the church.

One of the main things I love about Elton is his passion. His mind is thinking constantly 24/7 on how to get the best trip and the best shots. He will do anything to get that perfect shot. He wants nothing more then to have the best trip of his life, and film it to share it with all of his viewers. He understands that his videos are one of a kind. That through his videos there are some kids that won't ever get to go to the places that we are, and he is determined to make a video for those kids to watch and enjoy. I watched his face scrunch in concentration as he maneuvered the camera to get the best angle of the statue in front of him. I loved watching him work. To see the way he concentrates on what he's doing, to the way his eyes light up when he gets the shot, or something awesome happens in front of him. I love watching the way he interacts with not only his best friends that he takes on these trips but the way he interacts with the environment as well. The way he moves, and respects the scene in front of him, but still gets close and personal to the shot. I couldn't help but fall more in love every time I watched him in situations like this.

After I got sick and lost the majority of my hearing I learned to see the world in a different light. I had learned to watch the world rather then to listen. I picked up on others body language and movements quicker then I had ever before. I would watch my friends and family and pick up on their smallest movements, and quirks. It was by watching my friends I was able to create very strong bonds with each and every one of them especially all the boys on this trip.

Heath was the first youtuber I had met at my first playlist in Orlando. We had done a colab video recreating his very first youtube video where he had signed the song 'Lips of an Angel.' From there he introduced me to Scotty, Kristen, and Mariah. We continued to be just youtube friends, seeing each other again at vidicon later that year. Heath had invited me to a hotel party where I had met Elton, Sam, Colby, and the rest of the vlog squad. It wasn't until that following fall when I moved out to LA that I had become friends with Elton himself. We met again at a cook out that Scotty and Heath were having to celebrate the release of a new song they had made together. That night ended up with Elton and myself sitting in the kitchen me teaching him bits of sign language just for him to learn to sign "Will you go on a date with me" In the end.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Elton coming and sitting down next to me.

'This place is more beautiful in person' He signed looking around in awe, I couldn't help but smile and nod at him as everyone else had now made their way over to where I was sitting. Elton picked up his camera and pointed it at me, "you ready to head to the Sistine Chapel?" I just signed the word ready back to the camera.

We all exited the basilica and made our way following the wall of Vatican City, down to the entrance to the city itself. We started our way down the path that would lead us through the museum and end up in the Sistine Chapel. We entered a hall with dozens of priceless figurines and artifacts of old bibles and wold world maps. I watched carefully as Elton filmed as much as he could knowing he wouldn't be able to film in the chapel itself. At we approached the final room of figurines and artifacts before the chapel I saw Heath get real close to one of the old bibles.

"Heath," I said grabbing not only his attention but everyone else's including the camera, "Touch that or anything else and you go to hell. Thats how it works." Heath stopped and gave me a look.

"Baby, I'm already going to hell." He paused and looked at everyone else and then raised his finger "And I'll see you there, and you there, and you there, and you there." He pointed to Sam, Colby, Jay, and myself. I raised my eye brow as he then pointed at Elton, "Theres a special place for you in hell after all your punk ass pranks you always be pulling." I giggled and both Sam and Colby nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, its called the head masters suite." Elton said laughing, which also earned a laugh from everyone else.

"Did you just openly, in a sacred catholic building, call yourself the actual devil?" Jay asked in the form of a question but we all know it was meant as a statement. Elton looked dead straight towards Jay and pointed the camera in the same direction.

"Yes." He answered giving a single nod before shutting off the camera and moving to put it in his back pack.

"I knew it!" Sam said gasping as Colby followed with a shocked look. " I told you he was satan!" We all had a good laugh about the situation but ended it quickly when suddenly all the guards and other tourist were starting to give us strange worried looks.

We had moved forward with the rest of the crowd in towards the Sistine Chapel itself. We stood in the middle of the room all of us with our heads turned up to the ceiling like a bunch of chickens looking up at rain. I turned to Heath and whispered.

"If you look closely every single person painted has a leaf over their pee pee." He squinted and then turned to me before signing 'Where go?' "They were at one point all anatomically correct, until the catholic church insisted that their pee pees covered up by leaves." I watched as Health mouthed the word "bitches" and shook his head.   I giggles and leaned into Elton and he wrapped his arm around me as we continued our way moving from one end of the Capel to the other moving closer to our next destination.
