* A little from last chapter*

"Well I should get going" 

"Why?" the words tumble out of my mouth before I could think. 

"I have to record a YouTube video" she laughs.

---

"Well can I join you?" I ask, again I didn't think before I spoke.

"Hmm sure why not?" Thank you God!

~*Aleksandria's POV*~ 

When Martin asked me why I moved here I felt like breaking down, I can't tell him, at least not now. I don't want to lose whatever this is. And when he asked me if he could join my video I was beyond happy, I don't know why but I just was. 

Martin and I exit the coffee shop and get in Martin’s car.

Martin parks the car in front of the hotel.

“You live here?” he asks, should I lie? No, that doesn’t get you anywhere.

“Well it’s what I can afford for now, I’m saving up money to move to an actual home tough.”

I get out of the car as Martin gets by my side and holds my hand, I felt sparkles all over my body and down my spine.

“Oh, you’re thinking of moving to where?”

“I don’t know, I would like to live around here (Los Angeles) since all of YouTube conventions are usually around LA”

“There are YouTube conventions? What’s the point?” Martin asked clueless. I couldn’t help but laugh at his cute confused face. 

“Yes, Vidcon, Playlist Live, Summer in The City, Buffer fest, oh and the Streamys. And they’re pretty much meet and greets plus panels and stuff”

“Oh” Martin said with his lips forming an ‘O’.

“You’re such a weirdo” I said laughing since he was still holding the ‘O’ face. By this time we had already arrived to my hotel room door. I unlocked it, as we enter I could hear Martin mumble. 

“But you like it” I look at him when I close the door, Martin standing just a few feet away from me, I take 2 steps so I’m closer to him. He looks me in the eyes, I could now feel his breath on my skin since he also stepped closer. I lean my face to his side, my arms wrapped around his neck and whisper in his ear:

“Yeah, I do” I look again in his eyes that were now a bright blue, I wonder what mine look like since they changed color so easily with my emotions. He started to lean in, me doing the same. As our lips were about to touch I move backwards.

“I’m sorry, I just…”

“No, it’s fine. Is it your first?”

“Oh, no… but I mean, is just hard to explain…sorry” Fuck. Why did I move away?

I went to the bathroom and open the third drawer exactly, since it was the last one it was where I kept my personal things. I take out an orange bottle and read the information on it just to make sure it was the right one.

Anxiety.

I take one and go to the sink, I swallow the pill and take a deep breath. I look at myself in the mirror, flashbacks attacking me again. I close my eyes, take another deep breath and I walk out of the bathroom.

“Ok, ready to make this video?” I ask like nothing happen just seconds ago. Martin looks up from his phone to look at me and nods. I get my tripod from the corner of the room and set up my Canon 600D on it. I sit on my bed and pat the empty space next to me signaling Martin to sit next to me. He gets up from his spot and sits next to me. I get up only to start recording.
