YouTube & I

Chapter 14

I spent half of my night at Joe's thinking and reanalyzing everything that happened. Then I spent the other half trying to sleep even though I kept waking up screaming. I slept in the same bed with Tyler and he helped me calm down. He kept telling me to calm down and just forget about it. I tried and I'm still trying. I can't though. I'm trying to set the camera up on the tripod and I keep on messing up. I'm just getting frustrated now.
"Ugh!" I grunted. I tried setting up the camera again. Then Zoe came over and grabbed my hands for me to stop.
"Trish, just let me do it." She said. I nodded and walked away. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. Alfie walked in.
"Trish, do you want to do the video tomorrow?" Alfie asked.
"No, I think making these videos will be good. Are the pieces of paper in the bowl?" I asked.
"Yes, are you ready?" We started to walk back.
"Yeah." We sat down in front of the camera.
"Zoe press the record button." Alfie told her. Zoe pressed the record button.
"What's up guys!" Alfie said then I started to laugh.
"I'm sorry. Go again." Every time I hear him say that I laugh.
"Ok?" Alfie looked at Zoe as Zoe was trying not to laugh because she knew what I was laughing about.
"Go." Zoe was trying to hold in her laugher still.
"What's up guys! So today I am joined here today with Trish." Alfie looked at me.
"Hello people." I smiled. I'm still trying to forget about what happened.
"So Trish, what are we doing today?" Alfie asked.
"We are doing the humming challenge; which I'm horrible at." I chuckled. Alfie laughed.
"When we were coming up with ideas you were like 'I'm amazing at the humming challenge'." Alfie said.
"I did not! I did not." I pointed to the camera.
"Alright let's get started." Alfie said.
"So if you don't know what the humming challenge is it is when Alfie or I will pick a piece of paper in that bowl and we have to hum to that song and the other person has to get it." I explained.
"The person that guesses it gets the point." Alfie said.
"You go first considering it is your video." I told him.
"Fine." Alfie reached into the bowl and grabbed a strip of paper. He opened it up. He was thinking hard.
"What?" I questioned.
"I don't know how it starts. It's an older song and I haven't heard it in awhile." Alfie complained a little.
"Then start from what you know." I shrugged.
"Alright, um..." Then Alfie started to hum. What the hell? Oh! Never mind, I know it.
"Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous." I smiled.
"You've got it. Ok, now you go." He told me.
I grabbed a strip of paper and opened it. I got Happy Little Pill by Troye. I know this song by heart! I started to hum. Alfie was smiling as he was thinking.
"Oh um, it's one of Troye's songs. It's Happy Little Pill." Alfie said.
"Yeah, I love that song so much." I smiled.
"Do you have the TRXYE jumper?" Alfie asked.
"No, never got it. Wanted it but just never got it." I responded.
"Alright, well get it." Alfie and I laughed.
"Ok sure. Next one." I grinned.

Alfie and I are actually just about to end my video which we painted each other's faces. Zoe gave us a piece of paper each and it had a word on it and we had to paint it on the other person's face. So what I had to paint on Alfie was a princess. I'm laughing so hard looking at the final results of my painting.
"Ok Zoe, turn the mirror around." I told her. She turned the small mirror around.
"Oh my gosh! What the hell am I?" I was cracking up as Alfie was in complete shock.
"You're a princess." I said while laughing.
"I do not look like a princess. At least you actually look like a tiger." He looked at me.
"Are you fucking serious! I look like an orange blob with black stripes!" I told him. Zoe, Alfie, and I started to laugh. It took a little while to calm down but we did.
"So I think we should end the video here." Alfie suggested.
"Yeah. So thank you people for watching this video! If you enjoyed it give it a big thumbs up! And if you're not subscribed to Alfie then, well first of all if you're not then what the hell is wrong with you, but if you aren't then click on his face right now! And I will see you peoples later! Bye!" I did my loud outro and Zoe stopped recording.
"I'm gonna take a shower now and get this, what you call a princess, off of me." Alfie chuckled and so did I. Then he walked away.
"Hey Zoe." I said.
"Let me guess that you want to know where you can wash your face." She smirked.
"Yeah." I grinned.
"Come with me." I followed Zoe out of the room.
"Trish!" I looked back and Connor just got here.
"Connor!" I smiled and I rushed over to him to give him a hug.
"I haven't seen you in so long." Connor said as we stopped hugging.
"I know." I smiled. Then his content facial expression turned into a confused facial expression.
"Um, what's on your face?" Connor questioned.
"Oh, Alfie and I just did a video and he tried to paint a tiger on me." I explained.
"That's one bad tiger." Connor and I laughed.
"Trish?" Zoe came back for me, "Connor!" Zoe smiled and gave Connor a hug.
"Hi Zoe." Connor smiled at her as they let go.
"Trish, let's get the paint off you. Connor we'll be right back." Zoe said.
"Ok." Connor grinned at me. Zoe pulled me and took me into a bathroom. She took a damp towel and started to wipe my face.
"I'm extremely happy that Connor is here." I said.
"Why extremely? I know that you haven't seen him in a while but why extremely? Does it have to do with last night?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah actually. It's just because last time I saw Connor I found out that my mom was having a pre-caution cancer surgery. I was a wreck because I was so worried and afraid that something was going to go wrong. He kept me calm though and he got my mind off of it. I don't remember how he did but he's just one of those friends that are able to do that. I know that he's gonna want to hang out with Marcus but I want to hang out with him. At least tonight." I told her.
"I understand. But you and Marcus have to make up. Plus he was drunk and didn't realize what happened." Zoe said.
"Yeah I know." I responded.
"Why are you so caught up about this?" She asked.
"There is a long story and I rather not share." I told her.
"Ok, but if you ever need to talk to me, I'm here. Also, you're face is clean." She said.
"How'd you get it off so quickly?" I questioned as I looked into the mirror.
"Makeup remover." She said then grinned.
"Hey Trish, can I talk to you?" Joe asked.
"Yeah." I was confused and looked at Zoe. She shrugged and I walked over to Joe.
"Did you know Connor had a twin sister?" Joe asked.
"No." I said and looked out of the bathroom. There stood a girl next to Connor. Just shorter than him with slightly blonder hair. I walked out of the bathroom towards them.
"You never told me you had a sister." I looked at Connor then his sister.
"Yeah because she never wanted to be a part of my YouTuber life but recently she said that she would. So Trish meet my sister Emily." Connor smiled.
"Hi Emily." I smiled.
"Hi." She's really shy I can tell. That's their big difference. She's really shy and well Connor isn't.
"Emily come here." Joe said. Emily walked over to Joe and he introduced her to Zoe.
"I'm not sure if I should really bring this up but I'm going to. I heard what happened between you and Marcus. And that you were waking up screaming. Are you ok?" Connor asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I used to wake up screaming several times when I was younger." I told him.
"Ok good but you're going to have to get past it sooner or later. He really wants to make a video with you." Connor said.
"Yeah I know. He said that the other night. But I just wish it didn't happened."
"Trish, is it because he was drunk or is there another reason because he told me he wasn't that drunk and you're acting like there is another reason. Is there?" Connor asked.
"I rather not share." I responded. Then I opened the door and headed outside.
"Trish!" Connor shouted.
A tear fell down my cheek. I looked up and Marcus was carrying Connor's bag. Marcus and I froze. I started to back away. I turned around and started to run away.
"Trish!" I heard Marcus drop Connor's bag.
I knew he was running after me. I don't want to talk to him. I don't feel like talking to anyone right now. I just want to be alone. Then Marcus grabbed my arm and made me stop running.
"Trish, can we talk?" Marcus asked. I wasn't looking at him.
"No, just let me go." I told him as I tried to lose his grip on me. He's stronger than me so I can't but I still tried.
"I'm not letting go until you talk to me." He said then I stopped.
"There is nothing to talk about." I still wasn't looking at him.
"I know there is because I can tell you're upset and in pain."
I put my head down when he said that because he is completely correct. I started to cry. I looked up at him. I think he knows that I needed a hug because he pulled me in for one.
"Look, whatever happened before we met is not my business but what happened last night I just want to say I'm extremely sorry. I just want us to be friends. I don't want you to be mad at me." He said as he was still hugging me.
