Falling [H.S]

Nine

"So! I asked you guys to send in questions because I have noticed a lot more people are joining the channel now. It was only a couple of months ago that I had just hit a hundred thousand but now we are getting so close to hitting two hundred thousand!" Hollie made a big emphasis on the last number, staring at the camera in front of her.

She scrolled through her phone, looking at all the questions that everyone has been putting through, trying to pick some that stood out. Some were simple, like why did she start YouTube and that, but she gets asked those all the time.

"Okay, so Becky asked if I have any brand deals or trips coming up. I do. I actually have two coming up in the next couple of weeks. I'm not allowed to say what it is yet. But I am going to LA for one and then straight after that, I am going to New York for another one. I am so looking forward to it!" Hollie explained.

Hollie stopped on another question.

"Joyce asked what's my favourite type of holiday and then put in brackets, beach, city or mountain. For me, it all depends on what I am going to be doing. So, if I am going somewhere to relax, that would be the beach, and my dream destination for that sort of holiday would be the Maldives. I have been saving up for so long to be able to go there. Hopefully next year!" Hollie smiled. "As for mountain, my dream destination would actually be Switzerland because the whole scenery there is astonishing! And for city, it is definitely New York and of course, like I said earlier, I am going there in a few weeks to which I am SO excited about!" Hollie finished with that question.

As she was scrolling through her other questions, asking a few little ones as she passed, she had a message pop up from Harry. It caught Hollie off guard as she hadn't heard from Harry since when he left. Hollie had messaged him but she never heard anything back. Instead of replying straight away, she went back to the video that she was in the middle of recording.

"Next question is from Becky. What's going on with your love life? and how is hanging with one of the sexiest men alive," Hollie laughed. She just had to answer one of these questions. "There isn't really a love life right now. I know a lot of you have been asking what has happened but I'm just not personally ready to talk about all of this. I might do a little story time maybe soon when I am ready, but that's not now. As for hanging out with 'one of the sexiest men alive' I am going to assume you are on about Mr Harry Styles," she laughed. "It's honestly amazing. He is such an amazing person and so incredibly friendly. Feels weird to think that we are actually friends because if you had told me that a few months ago, I would have just laughed. But he is one true friend. I know I have had a few questions since my last video with him in which would have been my party, that you want him in more videos. I will think about it. He is a very busy man who is always travelling and it's also if he wants to be in them," Hollie explained.

Hollie was soon finishing up the video and moving on to editing another video that she was going to be uploading tonight. She was aiming to get that one and the one she just recorded today edited to give her a couple of days off.

As she was on a roll with editing, her phoned dinged, making her remember the message she had from Harry earlier that she ignored, or forgotten about.

Heyy, Holl. Sorry for not messaging sooner. Been stupidly busy! x

The ding that just came through was another message from him.

You're not mad at me are you? :( x

Hollie laughed, imagining him pouting on the other end of the screen.

I am very mad at you x

Hollie sent that as joke but apparently, he took it seriously because Hollie's phone was soon ringing, showing Harry's face pop up on the screen from contacts.

"What did I do?" was the first thing he said into the phone, not even saying hi or letting Hollie speak.

"Harry, I'm joking. I'm not mad at you. I didn't reply to you earlier because I was recording a video and have been editing. I swear I'm not mad," Hollie explained, hearing the stress in his voice when he answered.

"Sorry," he sighed, Hollie imagining him running his hands through his hairs. "I haven't slept properly since I got here and everything has just taken its toll on me," he explained, Hollie feeling bad for making him more stressed.

"Why haven't you slept properly?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowing at the confusion.

"Just can't get comfortable during the night. I keep tossing and turning and by the time I fall asleep, I have to wake up again to do something else. I mean its currently 9pm here and I am so freaking tired, I just know I won't be able to sleep anytime soon," Harry admitted, making Hollie feel so bad that she couldn't help.

"Well, I will stay on the phone as long as you want me to," Hollie said, hoping she can bring some light to him.

"I would like that," he admitted. "So, what video did you record?" he asked, Hollie hearing rustling on the other end, signalling he was getting comfy.

"Just a little Q&A today. I didn't want to do too much but where I seem to be getting more subscribers now, I thought I better do another one," Hollie explained, editing her video still but putting one earphone in and the phone on speaker so she can multi-task.

"Well you are a good content creator," Harry laughed.

"You know exactly that that is not the case. It's because I befriended a certain curly-headed singer that everyone adores," Hollie shook her head. As much as she would like to think that all of this was naturally grown, she knew it was because of new friend.

"I'm sorry," he pouted over the phone. "So what questions did you have to answer?" he asked. It was so strange that he was so interested in what I actually did in my videos.

"Hang on," Hollie said as she thought of an idea. She quickly clicked the FaceTime option on the screen and not even a second later, Harry's face popped up. "I thought this would be better to actually talk to you."

"That is fine by me, I missed your pretty little face," he smirked, making a blush appear on Hollie's face. "So? What were the questions?" he pushed, causing Hollie to laugh.

"Just the general questions really. Got asked when my next brand trips and deals were. Dream holidays. And of course, you were brought up," Hollie shyly admitted, flickering her eyes to the phone screen and then back to the computer screen.

"Oh really now?" Hollie didn't even have to look at the screen to see him smirking. "So, what did you answer to those?" he asked, rolling over to his side, laying the phone down on its side on the bed.

"You'll have to wait till the video comes out," Hollie suggested teasingly, feeling relief when she had nearly finished the editing for the new video.

"Oh come on. I will watch the video anyway. I've been watching them all time when I can now," he admitted, making her head flip to stare at him, her eyebrows furrowing.

"You watch all my videos?" she asked. When they first started talking, he admitted to watching a couple. But now? watching all of them? Really?

"I didn't realise I just admitted that," he admitted, and for the first time ever, Hollie saw a blush appearing on his cheeks. "But I guess the secret is out, yes I watch your videos. They're fun to watch."

After that, Hollie and Harry kept talking. They soon got on to a topic that made Hollie talk for a while. It was something so simple, like how she spent her day and what she had been doing recently. During the talk, she noticed how quiet it had gotten on his end. She turned to the phone screen and she saw he had fallen asleep, looking so peaceful. He finally got to sleep. At that moment, she didn't care if he fell asleep because he found her talking boring. He was asleep. That's all she cared about. Seeing how stressed and exhausted he was, she was happy to see him look so peaceful. She decided to take a screenshot, and then hung up, letting him carry on sleeping.

By this time, she had edited both videos and also uploading the original video that she already had recorded which was a reaction to some products video.

Hollie went by with her evening, spending time with her mum and having dinner. The thought of Harry and how peaceful he looked stamped in her brain.
