His Assistant | David Dobrik x Natalie

Chapter 11

So this is super early but I take a final and then start my 12-hour journey home so I won't be able to upload later. That being said, there may not be a chapter tomorrow but I'm gonna try!!

~~

That night, we all had a sleepover at David's just like old times. None of our parents were ever concerned about the idea of co-ed sleepovers, because a lot of the times, I was more of a guy then they were.

As we all settled into the blankets we threw on the ground, I really did feel like a little kid again, and it just brought me so much happiness.

I think that's why they did it. They knew that something serious happened back there with Shawn, but they were too much of wimps to ask me, so they thought to just make me happy.

I love these guys.
"Do you guys actually want to know what happened back there or do you just want me to never bring it up?" I ask, hoping for the latter.

"I want to know," Ilya says straight up, and David nods agreeing.
"Ilya do you know I'm moving to LA?" I ask and he looks between David and me confused.
"You're moving to LA?" He asks, which answers my question.

"I asked her to be my assistant and she's living with me," David explains, and Ilya nods slowly.
"So, I called Shawn when I was in LA to tell him and he said he was going to break up with me if I stayed. Then a little while later he called, saying he was stupid and sorry," I explain to Ilya since he's been left out of everything.

I go through and explain the entire story of what just happened, and when I finished, I didn't even notice the tears coming out until I was pulled into a 3-way hug with them.
"That's so shitty," Ilya says, letting go and leaning back against David's bed. I wipe my tears and nod in agreement.
"That's so selfish. I don't know why your parents would do that," David says, and I couldn't help but agree more.
"So, now you know. Now I have no reason to live here anymore," I say with a smile.

We goof off for the next couple of hours before we fall asleep just like we did for so many years.

The next morning I wake up to multiple texts from my parents, and I know that Shawn told them what went down.
I groan out of frustration, as I just need one minute to not deal with drama. But we all know that isn't going to happen.
Dressed in a pair of David's sweatpants and t-shirts, I head downstairs, to see once again, David's mom cooking.
"Oh hey sweetheart, I didn't know you were staying the night," She says throwing me a smile. She's actually become more of my mom over the past few years than my own mom.
"Yeah it was kind of a last minute thing," I admit with a fake smile.
"What happened?" She puts everything down and comes over to the table with me, ready to hear my spill everything that happened last night.

As I tell her, the different facial expressions on her face show how hard it is for her to follow, but as I finish, she understands everything I said, and now has an expression of sorrow, and she pulls me in for a hug.
"I'm so sorry, honey. That's unbelievable," I could tell that she was just as shock and angry as I am, and she's just trying to contain it to keep me calm.

"I'm just ready to head back to LA already. This has been a mess," I admit, rubbing my face with my hands.

"Well, you know I'm still rooting for you and David," She whispers in my ear just as David and Ilya enter the kitchen. Her boldness makes me laugh and blush a shade of pink, which of course didn't go unnoticed.
"What was that?" David asked.

"Oh nothing," His mom says as she turns back to cooking, but not before sending me a wink.
"How'd you sleep?" David asked as he joined me at the table. Ilya somehow disappearing.
"I slept really well actually," I admit. It stays quiet for a couple of minutes, until Ilya enters the room again, immediately grabbing a piece of egg out of the pan that David's mom was cooking. He earned a smack on the hand for that.
"What?" He asks, and we all just shake our heads.
"My mom texted me this morning," I say to David quietly and he pops his head up.
"What'd she say?"

"That we need to talk, but I don't want to talk,"

"How are you going to get your stuff?" Ilya asked and I put my head in my hands.
"I don't know. Maybe I should just be brave and deal with it," I say, even though it is the last thing that I want to do.

"We can go get your stuff for you. You don't need to be back there," David says sternly, and I know not to argue with him. Not that I would want to argue with him over not having to go to my house. I just don't want them to get trapped getting questioned by my parents.

"Thank you," I mutter quietly, earning a smile in return from him.
That's what I love about David. He's always ready to do whatever he needs to do for the people he cares about. It doesn't matter how big or how small, he's always there to help people.

As they go and get my stuff, I hang out with David's family, including his sisters that have just come down.
"Natalie!" They scream when they see me which causes me to laugh. I used to babysit them in high school, and they always loved when I would do their makeup and nails and talk about their 'boyfriends.' And now, they're starting to grow up.

"Hey guys," I pull them into a hug before they dive into all of their school drama and everything. I can't help but laugh because it's the exact same drama that basically any girl goes through in middle school.
'I was dating Jack, but Jack likes Jennifer and I like Kyle, but Kyle likes Jennifer and Jennifer likes someone else.'
I don't miss it at all.

A little while later, David and Ilya come back with just the stuff that I cared about taking.
"Did you get attacked?" I asked half-jokingly.

"Only slightly," David says, calming the nerves. I didn't want them to have to deal with my parents.

"Oh yeah. He's lying. I'm surprised we weren't held hostage," Ilya comes right out and says, and David's eyes widen.

"I'm so sorry," I cover my face with my hands. David puts his hand on my shoulder.

"We offered," He smiles again, looking into my eyes letting me know its actually okay and my heart flutters slightly.

My heart flutters?

OOOH, are there feelings for David arising??

I need to rant because, in Jason's newest video, it shows them attempting to surprise David for hitting 10M which is a HUGE milestone. The fact that it was literally only Jason, Natalie, Trisha, and Joe pisses me off. David puts so much effort and love toward his friends, and they don't seem to return it which makes me so sad. You could tell he appreciated Natalie's effort, but literally, no one else was there. He just threw the best party for Zane, surprised him with freaking Kendall Jenner, has surprised everyone else with amazing gifts, and they can't even show up??? I just feel bad for David and think he deserves more than that. 

Anyway, rant over. Maybe I'm being dramatic.

 Hope you enjoyed :)
