YouTube: The Destiny Finder

Chapter 33

Lately Marlene, Jc, and Connor have been acting weird so since they've been ignoring me I decided to just make a YouTube video.

"Hey guys! So... I know the last video I posted was like ages ago and I'm super duper sorry" I said into a camera "I know what you're all thinking 'Oh my god! WHAAAAAA?! Mel you're outside' yes, I'm outside and yes this is a piano. I found this beauty in o2L's backyard and yeah..." I laughed. "I've never actually sang in front of people trust me. So, you right der" I pointed at the camera "are the first one...s to hear. Well, let me know what you think in the comment section below. Don't be afraid to be brutal" I winked, ending my long introduction.

"I can't sleep tonight...

Wide awake and so confused...

Everything's in line but I am bruised...

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home...

I kinda need a hero, is it you?" I started singing Nightingale; By: Demi Lovato, but oddly I could only think of one person while singing that... Jc...

What?

As if on cue, Jc walked outside. He was clapping. The idiot was clapping, meaning 1) he heard me sing or 2) he was just being Jc.

Please be the second one.

"You're really good" Jc smiled, as he came and sat next to me.

Dammit!

"You heard?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah, you left me with no words" Jc explained.

"You know it's funny, I've been listening and jamming out to that song for a while and I just now found a meaning to it" I exhaled through my nose.

"What's the meaning?" Jc seemed intrigued.

"I kind of need a hero" I laughed, while quoting the song.

"And who's that?" he asked.

"No one" I quickly answered.

"Ok..." he said confused "so... what time are you going to sleep tonight?"

Odd question.

"I don't know" I shrugged.

"Would you like to accompany me somewhere tonight around 7?" he proposed.

"Where?" I asked.

"It's a surprise" he smirked.

"Mmm... sure as long as you promise me something" I smiled.

"Which is?" he returned the smile.

"Don't leave me in the middle of nowhere to die" I stated, as he chuckled.

"I promise."

"Ok good" giggled.

"Well, I gotta go. See you at 7" he suddenly seemed... in a hurry.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Uhhh... gotta film a video, bye" and with that he left.

Well then.

I felt so lonely, so I decided to text Connor, because he's always down for some adventure.

To: Con 👱 Hey Con! Do you wanna hang?

I sent and in a matter of seconds I got a reply.

From: Con 👱 Sorry Mel! I can't wayyyyy to busy.

Ugh, ok. I'll just see if Marlene can.

To: Marlin 🐠 Hey, I'm bored.

Her answer was so blunt.

From: Marlin 🐠

That's cool. I'm busy.

Well, that's weird. Oooo... what if Connor and Marlene are doing something special.

It was about 5 now and I was watching some Netflix. Just then, Marlene walked in through the front door.

"MELISSA!!!!!!!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the house.

"I'M IN THE LIVING ROOM!" I yelled back.

"What are you doing just sitting there?" she seemed... worried?

"Umm... watching some Netflix chill" I scoffed.

"Oh, cool" she continued, nervously "so do you have plans later?"

"Nah" I answered, focusing on the TV.

"Are you sure?" Marlene questioned unconvinced.

"Yeah... I'm pretty sure" I paused, while thinking "oh wait! Yeah, I have plans with Jc at 7."

"And you're so calm why?" Marlene asked.

"Because we're just hanging out" I was confused now.

"So you're not gonna get ready?"

Why is she asking so many questions?

"I got like 2 hours, I literally only take 5 minutes" I rolled my eyes.

"Come on, let's go" she suddenly said, while pulling my arm.

"Excuse me?" I was annoyed.

"Get up, you're getting dressed now" Marlene demanded.

"Ugh I don't wanna get up" I complained while trying to make it impossible for Marlene to pull me up.

"Melissa I will drag your ass by your legs if you don't get up" Marlene said through gritted teeth.

"Fine. I'm going I'm going" I dragged myself to the guest room where Marlene and I were staying.

Why is she being so... ugh.

"Alright girl this is gonna take a while" Marlene gave me a devious smile.

She's always wanted to dress me up, I guess this was her chance and well... she took it.

"It's almost 7 OH MY GOD why are you taking so long?!" Marlene is literally making me look like a doll what the hell.

"I have to finish your makeup calm down" she responded.

"I hate you" I muttered.

"You love me" she smirked. "Ok..." she said while finishing up my look. "...and done!" she handed me the mirror.

"Oh my God" I gasped "I look... decent enough to look at."

"You're always putting yourself, but deep down you know you're beautiful" she said. "Now, Jc should be downstairs. Go have fun, but not to much fun" she warned as I laughed.

I still don't get why I'm dressed like this.
