Assistance**David Dobrik

Chapter 4

Our flight home, David tells me all about his life and career which is honestly insane. By now it's 5 AM and he posts his newest vlog on the flight. As we are getting off the plane, Jason and Trisha depart from us and take an Uber back to his place. "You can just stay at my place tonight, I have a spare bedroom for you," David says and I'm too tired to object. We get in the car and I sleep on the way to his house. "Corinne," I wake up to David gently shaking me to get up. He takes my hand and helps me up out of the car and then carries all of his stuff inside. As soon as I get inside I immediately just pass out on the couch.

"Hey David! You know there's a stranger on your couch right??" I hear a guy yell and I sit up immediately. "Woah, she woke up!" He yells again and he seems just as scared as I am. "Chill I'm his fucking assistant, can't you see that I was sleeping?" I snap and throw myself back down and cover my face with a blanket that I guess David had gave me when I was asleep. "Oh sorry, no need to be bitchy," he says and walks off to David's room. The front door opens again and I hear two more sets of footsteps walk inside. "I thought you guys weren't getting here until tonight!" David says excitedly from the other room and they are all pretty happy to see each other from what I can tell. "Dude you know there's a girl sleeping on your couch right?" A different voice asks and I hear David start laughing. "Yeah man she's my new assistant, we had a late night, but not the kind of late night you think," he says and I roll my eyes and immediately get up and call an Uber. "Hey David I'm leaving," I yell and walk out the front door. "What? I need you today!" He rushes out and stops in front of me. "For what?" I ask, obviously irritated. "My friends came for my 420th vlog, I need you to be here all weekend," he says and my jaw drops. "Here I'll take you home and you can get some clothes and toiletries," He says and the Tesla doors open. "Do you not give a heads up on anything? Because David I'm in college, I have a lot of work to do!" I practically yell and he seems caught off guard. "I know I'm sorry, my last assistant lived with me and it was easier to just let her know spur of the moment," he explains and I roll my eyes. He pulls up to my apartment and my roommates are still asleep. I pack a bag with a few outfits and take a quick shower. When I get out of the shower, I have a text from David that says "hurry I need your assistance." If he wasn't so cute, I would probably rip him to shreds. I run outside with my hair still wet and no makeup on and he is laughing. "What the hell? I thought you needed me!" I say and he smiles. "Yeah, your car just arrived, but I went ahead and paid the delivery fee for you so I don't need you anymore, but also I went ahead and made this list of things I need you to get for me for this vlog, please have them back at the house by 4:00 PM," he says and hands me a slip of paper. "Um okay see you then," I say and glance at the extremely long list that consists of 10 Ikea tables, 3 big red bows, 10 black baseball caps, a bunch of alcohol, some random groceries, and a note that says I should show up with an outfit to party in. I realize that by now it's 10:30 PM so I hop in my car and rush to Ikea. Keep in mind, I have never driven in traffic like this before and I sure as hell don't know the city. By 3:00, I realize that I can't buy this alcohol and it's the last thing on my list.
"Hello? Corinne are you almost done?" David asks from the other end of the phone. "David I'm only 18, I can't buy this alcohol," I tell him frantically. "Oh yeah, it's okay just use your fake ID," he mutters and I can tell he is irritated. "David I don't have a fake ID," I reply and he laughs. "What kind of college girl are you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Okay I'm going to get Heath to pick it up, just hurry back," he says and hangs up. I arrive at his house at 3:50 PM and there are some kids outside. I go up to the door and they all gasp. When I knock, Zane opens it and pulls me inside. "What the hell?" I ask angrily. "Woah, calm down baby it's a good day," he says with a chuckle. His hair is pink and it looks so stupid, now Heath's hair is bleached blonde which also looks stupid. The room is full of people I've never seen before. "Corinne, glad you're here," David says and grabs my hand and we go back out to my car. He helps me bring the stuff inside and sets it down in the middle of the floor. Everyone is wearing all black and then David hands each one of them a hat. "Everyone this is Corinne, my new assistant, Corinne this is everyone," David says with a smile and everyone waves. "Are you sure she is just an assistant?" A small girl with curly brown hair asks. "Shut up Liza," David says with a chuckle. Liza is David's ex girlfriend, she is also in his most viewed video, the breakup video. I feel a twinge of jealously burn through me and immediately have to stop myself. I don't even know this guy, and he doesn't know me. "Okay lets go into the white room," the videographer says and I finally pick up what is going on after they are all dancing foolishly in front of the camera, it's a montage. The doorbell rings and David asks me to go get it. When I open the door, a man is standing there with a miniature pony with pink hair. "I'll be back to get it in an hour," he says and closes the door. "David!" I yell and he comes running. "What the fuck is wrong?" He asks as if there isn't a pony standing next to me. "Are you serious right now?" I ask angrily. "You're cute when you're angry," he smiles and grabs my hand and pulls me to the white room again. After they are all finally done with the montage shoot, it's about 8:00 PM and everyone goes to their different rooms to get ready to go party. "Hey so we are getting a party bus tonight, you're gonna love it," David says after we get into his room. "David I don't wanna go," I reply and he seems confused. "Don't worry, you'll love it, and I want you there," he says and kisses my cheek softly.
