Chapter 27

~ Brianna

Everything seemed so surreal. I've waited forever to meet them. They were my life before MagCon, always making me smile.

"You guys, I have the best idea," Sam announced, "We can each film our o2l video with Brianna and Matt this week!"

"I don't know Sam, I don't wanna be the next Madison Beer," I said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well like hanging out with ALL of you? Getting hate?"

"It's okay Brianna. You'll be with me too remember?" Matt said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Alright! It sounds fun."

"Why don't we film mine first?" Connor asked.

"Why you first?" Jc pouted.

"Because Connor always goes first..."

"So, do you think you guys could stay here for a few days?" Trevor asked.

"Well, we didn't really bring much, but I guess we could," Matt said, "Brianna?"

I literally could not stop smiling. I nodded and side-hugged him. I was so excited.

"Do you think we could film your video now, Connor? After all, tomorrow is Monday." I asked.

"Good point, let's do it!"

~ Matt

The rest of the guys went out to get food while we made our way to Connor's room. I had called Cameron earlier and told him we'd been staying at the O2L house for a few days. None of the guys really minded. We all wanted Brianna to be happy.

"Matt look! It's Wishbone!" Brianna squealed.

He was sitting on Connor's bed, getting all jumpy and excited when he saw her. She practically smothered him. Connor soon came in with his camera and tripod.

"I see you've met Wishbone," he said, putting his things down.

I sat next to Brianna as he spoke.

"He's so cute!" she cooed.

"So what are you guys thinking we should do for the video?"

"I don't know, I've never really filmed a video before. You two are the creative ones here."

"Q&A?"

"I guess that sounds alright."

Connor whipped out his phone and tweeted.

Connor Franta: Filming a special Q&A with @themattespinosa and his girlfriend @xbrifosx. Ask us questions under #askConnorandfriends. Remember to specify who the question is for.

It wasn't long before we received over 1000 questions.

"Alrighty, wanna get started?"

"Let's do it!"

We sat down beside him as he hit record on his camera.

"Hello my lovelies! It's Connor here, bringing you another frantastic Monday! As you can see, I'm not alone. On my left we have Matt Espinosa, and on my right we have his girlfriend, the beautiful Brianna Foster."

Matt and I smiled and waved to the camera.

"Oh, by the way, you guys got #askConnorandfriends trending worldwide! This is why I love you people!!! Now, let's get this party started right!" Connor yelled, pulling out his phone.

"For Matt, when are you filming another video on your channel?"

"Uhmm, hopefully soon. I've been really stressed with traveling and such. But I filmed my experience in Dallas at MagCon, so hopefully I'll have that video edited and uploaded by the end of the summer."

Connor nodded and went back to his phone.

"For Connor, how did you get the scar on your forehead? Well, when I was really little while I was sleeping. I rolled off my bed and hit my head on a bookshelf."

"Are you serious?" Brianna chimed.

"Yea, I was an idiot."

"No that's not what I'm saying, I have a scar on my forehead too. I got it when I was really little. It happened the same way yours did. I had to get two stitches!"

"Woah no way! I had to get two stitches too."

"That's so creepy."

"SCAR TWINS!" he yelled, high-fiving Brianna, "#TWOSTICHESBITCHES"

We ended the video after each of us answered a few more questions. There was one hate question Brianna had received. She took it like she didn't care, but I know when she's hurting. After the video. I let Brianna cry on my shoulder. I embraced her in a hug and told her it was going to be okay. Connor just sat there, watching. I nodded, telling him it was okay to hug her. We were like this for a few minutes before Brianna stopped crying.

"Why don't you go to Ricky and ask him what we're gonna do for his video. I'll meet you there," I asked.

She nodded slightly and left.

"What was that?" Connor asked.

I knew he was gonna say that.

"Brianna had been getting a lot of hate since she started hanging out with us. Something happened where her and I weren't really 'together' anymore. I'll spare you the details. It's just...she tried to commit suicide...and..umm."

Tears were welling up in my eyes. Connor has never seen me cry.

"Oh my God, Matt, I..I had no idea. I'm so sorry."

"It's just...she doesn't take hate very well."

"Yea, I understand."

I wiped my eyes and thanked Connor. I walked out of the room, looking for Ricky.
