Falling [H.S]

"That is it for today. Don't forget to like, subscribe and comment down below any questions you might have! I will see all you lovely people in my next video. Bye!" Hollie finishes the outro to her most recent video she was recording for her YouTube which had taken a couple of hours at least to film. Once she was certain she had recorded everything she needed to and got the picture for her thumbnail, she put away her recording equipment nice and neatly in the corner of her bedroom.

Once she was happy with where everything was placed, she went downstairs to where her mum was sitting in the kitchen, doing work on her laptop.

"Heyy sweetie, all done recording?" her mum asked, as she gave her a kind smile.

"Yep, all done. Just got to edit, but I will do that later. I really needed a break," Hollie replied.

Hollie loved that about her mum. She was so incredibly supportive of her decision on becoming a YouTuber. Her Dad was supportive but Hollie doesn't see him as often as she would like. Hollie's mum and dad were childhood sweethearts and had Hollie at an early age but they wanted to both be in my life but there was just no love for each other after some time. They never married but they both made a vow to be there for their daughter.

Hollie started doing YouTube a few years ago as a hobby and pass time at first, but she started to see an increase of subscribers and more and more followers on her social medias. Hollie decided to do full time two years ago. She recently hit one hundred thousand subscribers. In celebration of hitting this big number, her mum and her management are working together to throw something big for Hollie.

"Hows work going?" Hollie asked as she grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl that was in the middle of the dining room table.

"Are you asking how work is going or are you asking how planning for your celebration is going?" she asked, full well knowing Hollie meant the latter. Hollie's mum worked as a journalist. She used to work full time, but now she works part time to spend more time with her daughter and to help her daughters career to which she gets paid a littler for anyway.

"I just really want to know what you lot have planned!" Hollie sulked, unlocking her phone, seeing the abundance of notifications on her screen.

"You'll see soon enough. It's going to be special. I promise you. All you have to do is find yourself a stunning dress," Hollie's mum as she got up and walked round the table to where her daughter was sitting.

"I'm going to go out looking tomorrow. Might as well do a vlog about it I think. That would be fun," Hollie said as she thought of all the possibilities for tomorrow.

"Oh that sounds like such fun. You should meet up with Sarah! You haven't seen her for a while," Hollie's mum suggested which made Hollie's eyes light up.

"Mum, you're a genius!" Hollie shouted as she rushed upstairs to her bedroom, already calling Sarah.

"Heyy Hollie!" Sarah shouted down the phone, and you could hear the pure excitement in her voice.

"Sarah! What are you doing tomorrow?" Hollie asked, getting straight to the point.

"Was just going to do some more recording. I need to get ahead of schedule, my motivation has been slacking recently," Sarah answered. See Sarah was also a YouTuber but hadn't quite reached the hundred thousand subscribers quite yet. Her channel was similar to Hollie's but with a bit more beauty in there. Hollie was more a variety channel, showing beauty, lifestyle, challenges and especially travel.

"Want to meet up tomorrow? I am going to be hunting for the most perfect dress for my hundred thousand party!" Hollie shouted excitedly.

"Hell yeah! I have to do some stuff in the morning but I can meet you for lunch and then I can carry on shopping with you? I need to find a dress as well! I didn't even think of that!" Sarah exclaimed through the phone, only realising now she needs to find something stunning for her best friend's celebration.

"Perfect! I will probably start shopping in the morning. But if I find something that could be a contender, I'll take photos and show you!" Hollie told Sarah, getting excited for tomorrow.

"You better! But only take photos if you are feeling 'this is the one' type of vibe okay?" Sarah said which made Hollie laugh.

"Don't worry, I will. Listen, I will let you go. I have to edit one of my videos which is meant to be going up tonight but I don't think that will happen," Hollie sighed looking at the clock to see if said 2pm, so that should be plenty of time.

"You'll get it done, you are so fast at editing unlike me. I suck at it!" Sarah whines, making Hollie shaking her head.

"That's why you get your boyfriend to do it," Hollie taunted her, knowing full well that's what she does.

"He offers. I don't reject it. You know, you should really find yourself someone," Sarah said but a bit quietly compared to the rest of the sentence because she didn't know how Hollie would react.

"Sarah," Hollie sighed. "I'm just not ready to move on yet. Once I am sure I have moved on, I will start looking," she told Sarah.

"But you can't start moving on until you start looking again. Just think about it please?" Sarah begged Hollie, to which she just hummed a response.

After another 5 minutes of random chit chat, they both said their goodbyes and hung up. Hollie picked up her camera to get the SD card from it and walked over to her desk where he laptop and hard drive was sitting.

Hollie put on some Harry Styles' on her amazon echo, with the volume down a little and started editing the video. As she was listening to Harry's voice through the speaker, she wandered when he would be releasing new music. She had been wondering this for a while and there still hadn't been any hint of anything coming yet.

After two hours of editing, the video was finally done. Hollie pulled her phone out and went on twitter, posting a poll on twitter to which she asked if she should post the video tonight or tomorrow. She knew her followers would want the video to be up for tonight but she still liked to give an option and to get the interaction with her followers.

Whilst her video was exporting, she replied to a few people and was just scrolling aimlessly through Twitter and Instagram, liking and commenting on her friends posts that were popping up.

When her video had exported completely, she started the long process of getting it uploaded to YouTube. Thankfully, Hollie's mum had installed a faster broadband to help with the uploading time. Hollie looked back on the twitter poll and 87% of people voted for tonight so Hollie did a post to say to look out for the new video, coming in an hour. Hollie put the video on an automatic upload time and she went to enjoy the evening with her mum.

She had a notification to say her video had uploaded and she was already getting comments and likes. As usual when she uploads, she always spends the first hour after the video has uploaded to like and reply to comments on her video to interact with as many people as she can. She loves being able to do this. The messages she gets, causes a smile to always flow on her face. She always spots the negative comments but she either comes back with something witty or just ignores. She doesn't like giving them the satisfaction of hurting her. A lot of her followers were asking her questions about a particular topic she was trying to avoid so she chooses to ignore those questions.

"So, have you thought about where you are travelling to this year?" my mum asked, breaking the silence between us.

"I have a few places in mind but not sure which ones are definite yet," Hollie replied, knowing full well she had a massive list of places she would like to visit, but also a list of the places she has been.

"Want me to see if the management can get you any brand partnerships for travelling?" her mum asks. Hollie loved that about her mum, she was always trying to support her and make her dreams come true.

"No its alright, I prefer to just work on my own for my trips. I am more than capable of paying for myself and that. I don't want to think I need to get a brand deal to go away," Hollie explained and her mum stared at her with a proud look on her face, knowing she has raised her daughter right.

The rest of the evening, Hollie and her mum were watching a random movie that her mum found on the television. All Hollie could think of was the dress shopping trip tomorrow. She just felt like it was going to be such a great day.
