-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a YouTuber was one of the best jobs a person could have. You got to make your own schedule, got to put out whatever content you want, and you got to be involved in a lot of cool projects with different kinds of companies.

One of your favorite companies to work with was Marvel. When your channel reached 1 million followers, Marvel reached out to you and asked if you wanted to be a part of this project they were working on. Of course, you said yes, and they flew you to New York where they were filming the latest Marvel film which happened to be the first Avenger movie.

While on set, you met the cast, got to release all new content for your blog, even got to be an extra in the movie. In return for their generous opportunity, you talked about Marvel, wrote about Marvel, and did some publicity for their company on your challenge. Turns out, your audience loved Marvel as much as you did. Because of that reason, you got to visit the second Thor movie where you got up and personal with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.

Both men were exceptional at what they do, but Tom stood out to you the most. You connected differently to Tom than you did with Hemsworth. Tom loved what you did and has even seen a few of your videos before ever meeting you. For as long as you were on set, you hung out with Tom as much as you could. He took you on tours of the place, showed you how he got into his Loki costume, and he even let you try on the famous Loki helmet.

Then one day he asked you on a date and things haven't been the same since. When you left back to your home in Los Angeles, you two stayed in touch, often seeing each other. He was usually the one to come to you, but there were times you flew to London to spend weeks there with him. It's why you love being a YouTuber because you got to go anywhere you wanted, and still make videos.

Now, 6 months after your first date, you and Tom were going on strong. Your audience loved that you were going out with Tom and so did Tom's. Tom was staying in LA for a few weeks doing some promotion work for his movies, and it happened to be close to where you lived. He was staying at a hotel, and you would have asked him to stay in your apartment, but you just weren't at that place in the relationship yet. There were still some problems you were getting over, and you didn't want to rush it. Tom understood that.

For now, you were content living by yourself. Sometimes it became a problem since you had isolophobia, which meant you feared to be alone, isolated. It wasn't so bad when you were editing because you dedicated all your time and energy into that, often playing music or having Tom on Facetime to keep you company while you worked. You usually worked during the day, but lately, you've been so busy that you had to edit at night.

But, you were truly alone this time, and since you couldn't sleep, you tried to edit some of your videos to keep your mind off the fact that you were alone. Because you were in an apartment building with other people, you kept your music on low since it was 3 am. Sliding into your chair, you played your favorite music and got to work editing your videos.

You decided to work on the video you made with Tom since he had some free time and wanted to hang out with you. For that video, you decided to do "My Boyfriend Does My Makeup" challenge. Yes, it's an old challenge, but you were cleaning your brushes and Tom was curious.
