Andy Calder

YouTube Family

So between being kicked out of Twitter and having no friends on Facebook, I was left with YouTube.

I haven't made a video since the day I left. I need to make a new one.

I start up the computer in the living room and turn on the webcam. I fix the lighting and make sure my clothing choice doesn't make me look like a vampire.

Then I begin recording.

"Hello everyone!! Soooo, it has OFFICIALLY been too long since I posted a video! I know a lot of you have been waiting for me to do a follow spree on Twitter but you will have to wait longer because I'm having issues with my Twitter," I shrug and make a weird face," sorry about that! How is everyone?! So I decided that I'm going to do a challenge tomorrow! Comment down below telling me what challenge to do and the most common one will be done!! So tune in tomorrow for a funny video!!!"

I wave to the camera and turn it off. I let out a huge exhale and begin uploading the video. Luckily, it uploads really fast and the comments start rolling in almost automatically.

I start taking down notes for challenges and realize the biggest one is a singing challenge. I can't say no to my viewers, that would be like lying to my family!

Before I knew it I was curled up in a ball shaking. Trying to decide what to do.

"Andy? Are you okay?" Harry asks.

I look over my shoulder to make sure it's Harry then go back to my ball.

"No," I say honestly.

"What's wrong?" he asks, taking a seat in the desk chair next to me.

"My fans on YouTube want me to sing What Makes You Beautiful since I'm living with you guys," I shiver at my own words.

"What's so wrong with that?" he asks, totally confused.

"It's a challenge to me because I don't sing," I say plainly.

"Why not? Can I hear you sing?" he asks.

"Harry, I don't sing in front of people," I say.

"Why not?" he keeps asking questions.

"Because when I took Choir someone recorded me and changed it so I sounded horrible then some how played it all over school," I say," I was the school joke for weeks."

"Well, it's a good thing my phone is in my room and I won't laugh at you no matter what," he smiles.

"Oh-okay," I stutter.

I take a deep breath and being to sing What Makes You Beautiful. I don't stop until I run out of lyrics to sing. I open my eyes and look at Harry. His mouth is hanging open.

"Well? Say something," I nudge.

"ZAYYYNNNNNNNN!" he screams.

Instantly I start to assume the worst. I must have screwed it up or something.

"What's up mate?" Zayn asks as he jogs into the living room.

"Andy sing the chorus of Jar of Hearts," Harry says.

I give him a confused look but do it anyway. When I'm finished, both of them are starring at me with awe.

"Am I really that bad?" I ask, scolding myself on the inside for actually opening my mouth.

You probably sounded like a dying giant rodent in front of two of the biggest pop stars in the world... WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

"Andy, that was amazing!!! You have to do that challenge tomorrow," Harry says, breaking me out of my own head.

"Wha-what?!" I stutter.

"You have an amazing voice!!! What if we did back up vocals for to I tomorrow in your video, to give you some support?" Zayn suggested.

"O-okay," I keep stuttering.

They do a little victory dance before focusing on the computer.

"Can we watch some of your old videos?" Harry asks.

I let them watch all my videos from the very beginning, which was about three years ago.

It took 5 hours to watch every single video I have made. Some made the boys laugh, others made them cry, and one made them punch me in the shoulder a bit too hard. I guess I deserved it though, I was making fun of their band.

At the end of it all, they made a sandwich out of me and wouldn't let go until Louis made us eat dinner.

"Have you talked to El yet?" Louis asked me as we waited for our turn to get food.

"Nope," I say truthfully.

"You have to talk to her Andy!" He stresses.

"No Louis, I don't. She is the one who screwed this all up, she can be the one to try to fix it. I'm not in the wrong here," I shrug and get my food.

He doesn't say anything else until we sit down. El and Liam are nowhere to be found.

"Guys, El wanted me to tell you all this while her and Liam are shopping," he gathers everyone's attention," She wants Andy to go home early. In about two days."

None of us saw that coming.
