A Siblings Advice

YouTube: You really think so?

Hey guys! New adventure here and I have no idea how it'll go but as always, I'm so grateful for all your support💚 I hope you all enjoy this! Let me know any comments/recommendations/ suggestions!

Zoe's POV:

"Right Joe you've got to look at the camera, actually LOOK at it! Why is this so difficult for you? You've done this so many times with me before, how is it SO hard to do it for your own channel? I cry exasperatedly, I love my brother but OH MY GOD he is the most annoying person on the planet. " I'm sorry Zoe, It's just...I can't get my head round it all, like this is my channel now, i'm not just your brother or guest, this is mine. It's weird..." He mumbles, looking sheepishly at the ground, shuffling on the stool, he looks so nervous bless him " Right Joseph. let's try this again, you can do this bro, I know you can. Sit up straight, pull those muscles out, lets get you a lady from this all, kay?" He smirks at me, sitting up and pulling on his t-shirt, posing once again whilst I ready the camera again. " Right.. Ready? 3,2,1..." I wink at him, giving him the cue to start. " Hi guys, My names Joe and I guess i'm starting a youtube channel! You might have seen me on my sister's channel, Zoella but now it's time for me to branch out and have my own adventures. Oh dear go how embarrassing is this Zo I CANNOT DO IT." he growls in frustration, standing up and walking off again. Bless him, he's really trying, " Right, lets have a break and get some lunch, I don't know about you but i'm starving! I really want an egg baguette, I wonder if mum is back from the shops yet." I shout to Joe, who is now sitting in the kitchen, boiling the kettle. " Mum has literally just pulled in the drive Zo, It's like you knew." he chuckles, pouring the water into three cups and grabbing the milk out, seemingly less stressed now. It's amazing what a cuppa can do!

" Hi Zoe, Joseph! Have you eaten? I've brought a few things back from the shops if you want to have a root as you help me unpack?" I love that about mum! She always manages to word things in such a way that we end up helping her out but always get a bonus at the end of it " Hello Mum! How was town? Yeah we have just stopped for a bite to eat now actually, I said to Joe, I could murder an egg baguette, just like my school days." I giggle, taking one of the bags off her as Joe takes the other one and swaps it for a cup of tea. Mum just smiles as she sits at the table, watching both of us bicker lightly and move past each other to tidy the groceries away, placing certain items on the counter for our lunch. It must be strange I suppose, watching both of her grown children trip over each other in her kitchen again, we haven't really changed either so it must be weird for her now, living on her own with both of us moved out. " Hey Zozebo! Think fast!" Joe yells as he throws the eggs at me from across the kitchen and by some MIRACLE, I managed to catch them. " JOSEPH SUGG!" both mum and I yell in sync as he sniggers, turning back round to fish his toast out of the toaster.

Boys! I don't think he will ever grow up if i'm honest.

Joe's POV:

I love winding my sister up, that will never change. I should probably be nicer to her considering she Is spending the day helping me build a YouTube channel when she could be out with her friends or with dad...yeah should, I think as I pick up the eggs; "Hey ZO! Think fast!" I yell, firing the eggs at her and praying she catches them. A chorus of "Joseph!" surrounds me as I spin round to hide my laughter, it's times like this that I truly realise just how alike Zoe and Mum are...the same disapproving tone, same facial expressions and more importantly, the same support and love no matter what irritating or annoying pranks I pull. "Joseph, apologise to your sister now! Had you broke those eggs, I would've killed you myself." Mum scolds lightly, sipping her tea and peeling a banana as I stroll across the kitchen and wrap Zoe in a massive bear hug, " I'm SO sorry Zozebo, How can I ever get the famous Zoella to forgive me." I tease, " Nah honestly, I am sorry Zo, it probably wasn't the smartest trick I could have played. I really am grateful for everything, the whole youtube and general life support I guess." I murmur innocently, plopping down beside Mum to eat my toast before I cause anymore trouble.

Chatting idly over lunch, I reminisce over our childhood, the many days afterschool that we spent sat at the table with mum, Zoe with her egg baguette, me with toast and mum with a cup of tea, asking us about our day and our life in general. " Right Broseph, let us go and get some more filming done for this channel of yours and leave mum to her work, didn't you say you had an order to fill mum?" Zoe questions, rising from her seat and lifting her camera, phone and the papers she had been scribbling on over lunch. " Yeah mum, we will get a move on and give you the table back. See you in a bit...if Zoe doesn't kill me first." I chuckle, hugging mum on the way past. Heading into the living room again, Zoe hands the papers, " Right Joe, lets chat before we start filming again. What is it stopping you from relaxing on camera? You're so natural on my channel and you're so bloody funny. I reckon you're going to be a big hit!" she pats my leg comfortingly but im useless with emotions, I don't know HOW to put it into words. Exhaling, " I don't want to end up as just Zoellas brother. It's stupid I know but im just a roof thatcher, not a Youtuber, maybe I should just stick with what i'm good at." I run my fingers roughly through my Barnett, looking anyway but in Zoe's general direction.

"Joseph Graham Sugg. You never get anywhere in life by playing it safe! You've already been exposed on youtube as my brother so you aren't going to loose anything by starting your own channel. You're bloody brilliant at making people laugh and making an arse of yourself, there is no reason why you wont be as successful as you want. I really think you'll go far Joe, honestly. You are the most level headed, down to earth boy I know and im not just saying that because you are my brother. I mean that now, we could even get you a lovely girlfriend from it all!" She finishes firmly, with the all-to-familiar glint of excitement in her eye. I can't help but smile a little, meeting her stare and relaxing again, leaning back into my chair. " You really think so? You think I can do it?" I question wearily as she flounces around, fixing the curtains and neatening the cushions before setting up the camera again. Standing back behind the camera, she flashes me a reassuring grin.

" Of course I do! Now get your arse into that seat comfortably, you're not moving until we get the video filmed." she sniggers.

Sometimes you just need a sibling's advice.
