The Photographer

Chapter One

I didn't hear it at first, but my body jerked awake once I decided to listen to my alarm going off. I reach over to my bedside table turning off my phones set alarm for the day. I sit up in bed with my phone in my hands. I open my email seeing a new letter from the MrBeast apparel shop. Seems like it just entered the facility in my state. Woo any day now I will get my sweatshirt.

My fingers tap onto YouTube and all of the notifications I got from it over the night. Tons of people like one silly comment I made on one of his videos. Somehow making me the top comment.

'I finally ordered some merch. Money is tight but this will definitely help my state of mind. Thank you for putting a smile on my lips even if I have had a horrible life.'

That is such a horrible comment, I think I wrote it last night when I was half asleep. How stupid of me.

I jump to the sound of someone knocking on my door. I place my phone on my desk as my mom opens the door just a crack. I weirdly watch her head enter my room, "you decent?"

"Yeah? Why?" I ask.

The door opens fully. Jimmy, Chandler, and Chris all walk in. Jake follows them with a camera. My jaw drops as they gang up on me, i'm sure I look ridiculous. Especially since there is a camera.

"I am dreaming, I totally am." I whisper to myself.

Chris comes up to me and pinches me. I glare at him from the pain he gave me. Pain? Wait so this is real? These beautiful men are actually in my room? And here I am sitting in my bed, with pajamas on. You have got to be kidding me.

"Wait does this mean I am dying? Is this the make a wish foundation?" I say to myself again.

"What? No, how does someone think about that?" Jimmy asks.

"I don't know." Chandler laughs.

Jimmy's Pov

(y/n) looks at us for the longest time without saying anything. I don't think this has registered in her mind yet. "Wait, why are you guys here?" She asks.

"We saw your comment." Chris says.

"Great, seems like even god has seen it. I was half asleep when I wrote that to be honest, only because I don't remember typing it."

"We want to learn who you are." I say.

"Why would someone want to do that?"

"Because you seem to be like a rad person."

"Ew do not say rad ever again." Chandler says looking over to me.

I look over at Chris who was also shaking his head. "Wow alright, I feel so AtTaCkEd right now." I joke. "Anyways (y/n) tell us about yourself, either the good or the bad."

The girl looks at her hands, "Well there hasn't really been any good stuff in my life. I am currently not in college because I got kicked out. I want to go for an arts degree in photography, but they have rules for what cameras they want us to use. Sorry cant afford a camera that is worth thousands of dollars. This stalker of mine decided to rob my house, took all of my valuables including the trashy cameras I did have for college. I also got attacked on a subway a few months ago, the stalker guy really wants to make sure that I am his. So now I have scars on my legs from him pushing me onto the tracks. So now I can't leave my house without a teaser and pepper spray, moms rules. I also am working a minimum wage job at McDonald's, so thats fun."

There was complete silence for a while, "Nothing good has ever happened in your life?"

Everyone looks at Chandler, what a complete idiot. "I got a cat," (Y/n) laughs through her tears. "His name is marshmallow."

She points to her window. A white cat is sleeping on a little bed in the window sill. "I found him after I got attacked. He was the first sign of life I found after I crawled out of the tracks." (Y/n) says as she gets out of the bed and moves to the cat.

I felt really bad for the girl, after all of this that has happened she is still able to smile. I look at all of the guys, "team meeting."

I guide the boys out to the living room, her mother was sitting on the couch.

"Miss.(l/n) I have a question for you, and I want to have your blessing. Would you be alright if I have (y/n) came back home with us and work for me? Those pictures you showed me of her photography is absolutely amazing, even if she didn't have to do it with something fancy, it is absolutely stunning. I think that having her around would be fun." I say.

The guys look at me with shock, but I knew Chris understood. I knew he would.

"(y/n) is a strong girl with everything that she has been through. Last year she had to be hospitalized after she tried taking her own life. Just a few nights ago she was crying, having a little episode like usual. But not even five minutes later I could hear her laughing, and in the background I could hear your videos playing on her laptop. You guys have put a smile on her face, and I want to thank you for that. So you do have permission to take my daughter, I think it is for the best." Miss. (l/n) says, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I grab a hold of her hand, placing $10,000 in her hands. That wad of cash was just burning a hole in my pocket, plus she deserves it. 

"Thank you." she says as she pulls me into a hug. 

"Could you tell (y/n) the news?" I ask.\

"Of course."

Mrs. (l/n) wipes tears from her eyes as she disappears to tell the news to her daughter. I turn to the guys, a look of approval were on all of their faces.

"Having her around will be good for us and her." Jake says.

"I knew I had to do something good for her, I mean did you hear what she has been through? How can someone handle all that and still be positive?" I say.

"Well we have a big part in that." Chris smiles.

"Guys imagine all of the clickbait we can use, shes hot!" Chandler finally says.\

"Chandler!" All three of us say.
