Jack POV-
So it's been a month and things are going good if I do say so myself. Well as good as hiding something this important and earth shattering can be. Ok, maybe not earth shattering to everyone else, but it is to us. I don't think I have ever been this happy.
Things are going so well with Gabrielle and I. We took our time getting back to being "us". I am glad we did that. Jaycee was so right. We just needed to let it happen on it's own. Now we are stronger then ever.
Jaycee has been great. I can't believe how easy she has shifted into the our "bestfriend role". She has helped us cover up our dating more then anyone, more then we could ever have alone. I mean some of the things she comes up that allow Gabrielle and I to do things together but still be inconspicuous are amazing. I never knew she had such a devious mind.
Our channels are doing great.
We finally got Gabrielle over a million subs. People are really liking her new down to earth vlogs and some of the new ideas we have come up with. She says it's my editing. I keep having to tell her it's all her. I do think that having people there to help her with it does make a difference. Instead of acting overly happy she is just happy and free. She is thrilled about it.
I still have to console her when she reads those nasty comments. No matter how much I tell her that they don't matter, just ignore them. They are just aholes. She just takes to many of them to heart. It's funny how many people still throw up something attacking her about me after all this time. At least she can laugh those off now. It's really funny seeing people post about how much she messed up by breaking up with me and how I would never take her back after what she did.
If they only knew.
Her school work has taken a jump to. Even her professors have mentioned that to her. The time she freed up with my help editing combined with just being more carefree about life has really allowed her to shine. I mean her work was never bad. She is to smart to let that happen. It's just now she is more able to let her brilliance out.
My channel is doing well. We are back over two million and rising. No one is really noticing that the content is the same but not. When I edit and watch it I can see the difference. Jaycee and I are like bestfriends or family doing these vlogs now, not two people in love. Yes, we still say all the right words. Heck, I have had to stop vlogs to ask Gabrielle how I should say something sometimes because I am afraid that people would see though it and know it wasn't honest.
When did I become so whipped again?
Who cares. I am happy to admit that I am.
Last weekend was amazing. It was a big step for Gabrielle and I. A whole weekend alone away from everyone else. Just us hiding in a small little town somewhere where no one would notice us. We had so much fun just going to the shops, hiking, just being with each other. All those little things that I use to complain about don't matter to me anymore. I just love spending time with her. I don't care if it's shopping or browsing or anything really.
We haven't even had a fight this month. Not that we haven't had disagreements, no. That would not be us. But we don't just jump into a fight anymore. We sit down and discuss it. We argue about it, but not in the mean way we use to. We compromise now.
Through all the pain and anger of the break up and the last year apart... I now really think it was good for us in a way. We grew up. In a way, us being together helped us avoid doing that for so long. We were still holding on to that little bit of being a kid even as we changed into adults. Being apart removed that crutch. It forced us to confront ourselves and change.
Sometimes I can believe that there is plan for everything that happens. I may not see it, but maybe there is a reason for it. Maybe this was always the world's plan for us... Or maybe we were to stupid to go with the plan the first time so the world pushed us with a wake up call. Who knows. All I know is I would never trade where I am today for anything.
