Colleen's point of view
I'm currently home in LA editing some videos. "Haters back off" season two premiered on Netflix on October 20th and it did pretty good. Better than i expected. The fans absolutely loved it. I shouldn't have been stressing out that much. But I still haven't gotten a confirmation for doing a third season. I'm deep in thought and i snap back when i hear my phone ring. It's an unknown number. I answer the phone.

N- NetflixN: "Hello am I talking to Colleen Ballinger?"
C: "Yes. That's me."
N: "So you are talking with a Netflix employee and i have some information about your show "Haters back off"."
C: "Okay, go on" (i say impatiently)
N: "Yeah so, i'm sorry to inform you but your show hasn't been renewed for another season"
(I can feel my heart drop)
C: "Oh why is that?"
N: "I am not sure you can call back in an hour and i can connect you with the CEO of Netflix."
C: "Sounds good, thank you."
N: "Bye"
C: "Bye"I hung up the phone. What was THAT? Oh my God, my dreams are shattered. How is that possible? I am a failure. I start sobbing and i feel miserable. An hour goes by and i call the same number back, and they connect me to the CEO of Netflix. He told me all the details on why my show can't be renewed.
After the phone call I feel even worse. Why is those small things that my show can't get a season three. I call Christopher and tell him everything. He made me feel a bit better to be honest.
I've been sitting in my bed and feeling awful for about three hours now. How do i tell this to the cast? We are such good friends now, I'm afraid we will lose contact since we won't be on set together anymore. I decided to call them since they deserve to know.
I call Angela, Steve and Francesca and they were all so sad to hear the bad news.
I have one more person to call. Erik. Since we filmed season 2 we got kind of distant despite my crush on him. The last time we saw each other was on the "Haters back off" season two premiere, but we didn't even talk that much. After that we would just text occasionally. I was missing him so much. I call him and he picks up.C- Colleen
E- ErikE: "Hello Ballinger haven't heard from you in a while".
C: "Hi Stocklin" (i say as i tear up)
E: "Are you crying? What is wrong?"
C: "I got some really bad news i feel like you need to know"
E: "What happened?"
C: "This morning I got a phone call from Netflix, they will not renew the show! Erik why did this happen?" (i manage to say in one breath then i burst in tears)
E: Colleen, listen it's okay to cry right now but don't let it bother you that much. Please don't be so upset, I....I don't want you to be upset. You don't deserve to be upset... You deserve everything good on this world." (he says kind of mumbling)
C: "Are you in LA?"
E: "I am actually."
C: "Please come over i need you. I am home alone right now and i need someone here. Please come Erik. I need you."
E: "On my way, will be there in 10 minutes"
C: "Thanks."
He hungs up the phone and i try to calm myself. I don't look good right now so i decide to put on make up, but i cry as i do so and it just makes a bigger mess. I am all red and puffy from crying so much. 10 minutes pass by and i hear my door bell ring.Author's note:
