The Collab

Chapter One: Invitation

*Natalie's POV*

Today was the day. Moving in my new apartment in LA. It was 6 in the morning and I was driving to my apartment. I have had one coffee today but that doesn't stop me cause I needed another. I stopped at the nearest cafe and got an iced caramel latte. I hopped back into my car and went onto driving.

*At Natalie's Apartment*

I unlocked the door and walked in. I looked around at the empty, open space of the place I will now be living.

I only brought a few things. Like my clothes, makeup, and other type of accessories. I already ordered the furniture and I was hoping it would come in a couple of days... but NO, it is coming in a month.

I fucking hate ordering furniture online but I'm a lazy bitch and don't want to get up and actually go shopping for it.

I walked around and saw a room that looked like it would be for a kitchen. There was already an island built in the middle of it so I jumped up and sat on the counter. I totally forgot about vlogging so I took my vlog camera out of my bag and started vlogging.

"Hey guys! Sooo... I'm here in my new apartment! It is really empty because the fucking place I ordered my furniture at won't be here for another month. Fucking bullshit I say. I might have to buy some temporary furniture at an actual fucking furniture store." I groaned.

"Well I'm gonna go and get some food at some aesthetic place cause I'm a fucking Instagram whore." I turned off my camera and went to my car. I got in and set my camera up to film again.

I turned my camera back on and started driving. "Well onto the fucking place. It is called... I don't even fucking remember." I looked at my phone once I stopped at the red light and went to yelp.

"Oh! It's called Red Star Food." I laughed. "Fucking idiot."

Once I got there, I hid my camera in my hoodie and kept filming. I walked into the place and asked for an Iced Caramel Latte and a chicken sandwich.

Once I got my stuff I sat down at a real cute table and took a pic for Instagram. I then posted it captioning it with 'In LA bitches'. I stopped filming and ate my food.

I finished my sandwich but I wasn't finished with my coffee so I just took it back with me. I got into my car and started to film again. "Well that place was fucking good. 10/10 would eat again." I started driving and rambling on about nonsense. 

I got home and turned off my camera. I went inside and layed on the ground to reply to some of my DMs. 

I was replying to my fans when I came across this DM. I opened it and read who it was from. I went wide eyed with my mouth open. I then dropped my phone on my face.

"Shit." I groaned. I picked up my phone and read the name again to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me and to my surprise they weren't.

The message was from Ashton FREAKING Wright. It said, 'Hey, I have been watching your videos lately and you seem pretty chill. I was wondering if you wanted to do a collab with a couple of my friends and I. So text me if you want to. :-)' 

I was literally having a heart attack thinking of hanging out with the youtuber I have been watching for YEARS. The reason I started my channel was because of him and I'm pretty sure I have made some comments about his god damn fucking looks. So... hopefully he didn't see those videos heh.

I looked at my phone thinking of a response and then wrote, 'Sure! That would be super fun! :)Who are these friends?' 

I was actually going to die. While I was waiting, I decided to edit the video I filmed today. I got up and went to my suitcase. I grabbed my computer and sat down, leaning against the wall. I opened it and  went onto editing.

I was in the middle of editing when my phone buzzed. I looked at it and it said I had a DM from Ashton.

My heart stopped and I picked up my phone. I read the message and it said, 'Sweet! The friends are Samuel Hood and Alexa Potter.'

I dropped my phone once again when I read those names. I DIDN'T KNOW FUCKING ASHTON KNEW THEM TOO! WHAT THE FUCK! I'M SO IRRELEVANT, WHY DOES HE WANNA HANG WITH ME?!

If you are wondering why I'm shitting myself, it's because Ashton, Samuel, and Alexa have over 5 million subs and I'm an irrelevant pig.

They all have been my idols even though Ashton probably was the one I watched the most out of all of them. I mean I do have a million subs and I honestly have no idea why. I even annoy the fuck out of myself, I can't even edit without cringing at my loud and obnoxious ass voice.

I decided to respond and say, 'Awesome! When do you wanna hang and where should it be?'

I went back to editing but could barely focus because I was so anxious to get a response from Ashton. 

After editing my video which took me like 4 hours, I went to check my phone which I completely forgot too.

I saw that Ashton said, 'How about tomorrow if it's not too soon. I was also thinking at the local fair in LA that will be open tomorrow. It's okay if you can't go but it will be fun with you there! :-)'

I was so nervous to go but like I wasn't going to pass up this fucking awesome opportunity to hang with my idols. Also I have no life so of course I have no plans.

I responded with, 'Ok! I'll be there! Does 2 sound okay?' I mentally slapped myself because it sounded like a fucking fangirl and he might think I am just a fucking mentally crazed fangirl.

Which I totally am not... heh.

Then I started thinking what if his friends don't like me and think I'm a bitch. I would hate if they didn't like me. I idolized them and wanted them to be my friends.

They seem like such nice people and someone I can be friends with for a long time. My phone then buzzed and it was a message from Ashton saying, 'Yep! That sounds like the perfect time! Here's my number so we can text on actual messages. (***) *** ****.' (Authors Note: Honestly I'm too fucking lazy to think of a number to type. I have no idea of fucking area codes anywhere cause I'm sooo stupid. Lol. Well back too the story! Sorry for the interruption!)

I think my heart just stopped because HE JUST GAVE ME HIS PHONE NUMBER AHHHH! Oh shit... I do sound like a mentally crazed fangirl. Welp... that fucking sucks.

I then replied with, 'Nice! I'll text you rn so you know my phone number.' I then made a new contact and put his name in all caps 'ASHTON'. I normally do that because... I don't even know.

I then went and texted him, 'Hey! It's Natalie. I can't wait to hang tomorrow!' I then smiled and went on my computer to watch... Ashton's videos.

I watched one with him and the Dolan Twins. Damn... I wanna meet them too what the fuck. Fucking hotties... I mean what? (Authors Note: Okay lets just pretend the Sister Squad doesn't exist in this universe but they all are still YouTubers. Ok thanks!) 

I stayed up till 4 watching videos of Ashton. Honestly I was still kinda in shock for him asking me to hang out. I then turned my computer off and phone. I plugged both in. I tried to get as comfy as possible and ended up using clothes as a pillow. I already had warm clothes on so I didn't use my clothes as a blanket. I then drifted off to sleep...
