I turn on my camera, that was balancing of my tripod, and took a deep breath.
"Hey everyone. Welcome back to my channel. Today's going to be a little different then my usual videos." I pause for a quick second before continuing on. "So I've decided to make a huge decision that also has to do with my best friends."
From the side, I could see that Amy, Penny, Maya, and Valerie were just waiting for me to get on with our news.
"Get on with it!" Penny yells at me.
"Ignore Pen. She's impatient. Anyways, me and my four best friends to move somewhere permanently."
Without any warning, my friends all jump into frame, screaming the same thing. "We're moving to LA!"
They all cheer with one another as I laugh for what felt like hours.
"We recorded all the guys reactions to us telling them the news. Kelsi here told Daniel before anyone else and it was the cutest reaction ever." Amy commented, causing me to blush like crazy. "Here's the clip now."

"Hey Daniel?" I look up from my camera that was in my hands.
Daniel thinks that he is helping me focus my camera for my video, but instead, I was telling him I was going to be moving to his city.
"Yes Kelsi?" He looked as cute as ever with his olive green beanie on. "What's up?"
"I have some new to tell you." I look back and forth between my camera and into my boyfriend's eyes. Those ocean eyes that mesmerize me every time I look into them.
"Is it bad?"
"Depends on what your definition of bad is."
"Oh no. Are you breaking up with me?" Daniel straightened up faster than I've ever seen him move. His face was now worried instead of joy.
"Nothing like that." Taking a deep breath, I finally told him what was happening. "So, me and the girls decided that we needed a change."
"And what change would that be?"
"We loved LA when we visited you and the boys and we're moving there within the next few months."
Right as I spoke those words, Daniel's worried look turned into the smile of the happiest man alive. His smile brightened up my entire day and he came running to me, giving me kisses all over my face and neck.

"So yeah, that happened." I smile at the camera with sparkles in my eyes.
"The same thing happened with Amy and Corbyn. We told the rest of the boys together right before they left to go back home." Valerie explained, knowing that if we didn't, Corbyn and Daniel would've ruined the surprise." At this point, it wasn't even my video, it was all of ours.
We spent the rest of the twenty minutes explaining why we decided to make such an important change. The video, unedited, was around an hour to an hour and a half long and it took me six hours to do all my editing and adding the reaction videos.
By the time I was done, all my friends had left and it was nine at night.
"Damn that took a while." I spoke to myself. I rewatch my video one last time and put it as public and post about it on my instagram.

Within seconds, likes and comments start coming in. Most were positive, but some were about how I don't have any use in moving to LA and leaving my family.
After ten minutes of getting sucked into a spiral of reading hate comments, I get a call from Daniel. I already knew what it was about. It's what I've been spending the last few minutes reading.
I let the call go to voicemail and when I received it, I clicked on Daniel's name and listened to what he had left for me.
"Hey babe." His voice was low so he was probably around other people. "I was just reading the comments on your newest post and I just wanna say that it's amazing that you are moving to LA. Don't listen to all these people and just know that what they think don't matter." There was a small pause before he spoke again. "I have to go, but please call me back. I love you and sweet dreams."
There was one thing wrong with that message, what people think did matter. I gained quite a following from the combination of Youtube and Instagram to where I was considered a public figure and youtuber.
With that thought in mind, I went to my bed and got into a comfortable position before closing my eyes. Soon, I found myself fast asleep, keeping in mind everything that's happened.
