Oh my God. Hey guys.

As you can or cannot tell, I haven't uploaded ANYTHING since Christmas Day of 2010. You know how terrible that is? FUCKING TERRIBLE. So, as an approaching-autumn resolution, I'll try to upload as many chapters as I can of this story in this new school year. I can already tell it won't be a lot, since I'll have family over during Thanksgiving Break and I'll be in Britain during Winter Break. Now, onto some beforehand story explanation.

Have you ever heard of Ray William Johnson and/or Meekakitty from YouTube? There were rumors floating around for a LONG time that they were dating, and it was recently confirmed on Twitter that they WEREN'T. (damn it) Anyways, this story is slightly AU. Slightly because nothing has changed except for the fact that Ray and Tessa do not know each other; they have only HEARD of each other. Bare with me, I'll explain more at the end.

Evening fell quickly on the busy city of Los Angeles, California. The gates of amusement parks closed, stores flipped their open signs, and restaurant owners locked their doors and headed home.

Outside of Ray William Johnson's apartment window, the crescent moon could be seen clearly, floating in the indigo sky. He rolled on his other side, the moonlight reflecting on his bare back, and he sighed. His brown eyes took in the Watchmen comics that were plastered quite professionally on his wall. They then fell down to the empty space on his double bed.

Ray quickly rolled back on his other side, memories suddenly flooding back at him, only to be annoyed as the moonlight shone quite strongly onto his eyelids. His current lack of bedroom curtains was slowly becoming a problem.

Or maybe he could get those honeycomb blinds, like she had suggested...

Shaking the reminders of her out of his head, Ray mentally decided that lying on his back was the best option.

But staring at blank white ceilings only made him think about things and remind him of things that he was trying to forget.

Trying to forget someone that he had loved so dearly was definitely not easy; especially when he knew that she now had the deepest of hatreds towards him.

She was all he could think about. He didn't want to let her go...to kick her out of an apartment in a city that he worked so hard to move to...for the better for them. To start a future, have a family.

And as months passed in that small Los Angeles apartment, tension became higher and higher.

His constant growth of money from his internet job tore into her and took her over; she became greedy and selfish, wanting nothing more from Ray but his money. She no longer wanted a family; she just wanted to be rich. And Ray didn't want to father the child of a woman who couldn't see past herself anymore.

Victoria had been so sweet back in New York City...now he had created a monster, one that was now angrily moving back to the East Coast so she could never see him again. And it upset him. He had loved her and gave her everything, and giving her everything was their downfall.

Ray sat up, smothering his face with his hands.

Physically, he had let Victoria go.

But mentally, she was always there, haunting him.

Tessa was a complete dork. A ginger, nerd glasses-wearing dork.

Did she care? No.

In fact, she was completely carefree. She had two of the best jobs in the world...one on YouTube, the world's biggest video-sharing site, and one in a Korean Barbeque just a mile away from her clean LA apartment.

Sure, the Korean BBQ job was random, but she had lived in Asia for many years, studying their language and modeling for them. But her modeling days were long gone, and she was completely happy without the stress of her modeling agents taking all of her money for her own good.

But there was one thing that she was missing. One that her friends Joey and Brittany didn't cease to remind her.

"Tessa, c'mon!" Brittany had told her one night when she had invited them over to the Korean BBQ so she could cook them their dinner. "I've met loads of dudes that would be great for you!"

"They did seem like your type," Joey agreed as Tessa served them their main meal and they began to eat.

"I invited you here for dinner, not to discuss my relationship problems."

"I know, I know, but Tessa..." said Brittany, cutting off for a moment to close the door of their booth for some privacy, "it's time to let your ex go."

Tessa ignored eye contact with either of them. "I got over him months ago."

"No, you didn't. And you still haven't. You need a guy like you. Y'know what? You need to date another YouTuber! A guy that understands how busy you are, and is busy himself!"

Tessa sighed. "Look, I'm going to New York to visit my mom, then I'm going to India with Shawna for the whole World Vision thing. It'll give me some time to think about my dating life, and who knows, maybe I'll meet a guy out there."

"See, all you needed was a vacation!" said Joey. "And I'm sure you'll meet a great guy out there!"

Tessa finally smiled, and they continued eating in a comfortable silence.

See, now prologues aren't so bad, now, are they? MAKE SURE TO REVIEW AND SHIT.

4 Side Notes: I know a lot of people DON'T support Ray/Tessa, but I don't really care if you do or not, since this was requested by my cousin and she's having some tough times.

Note 2: If you don't know who Brittany and Joey are, they are WinterSpringPro on YT, and the "Shawna" who was mentioned is Nanalew on YT. :)

Note 3: I already know this won't get a lot of reviews, since there's only one other actual RWJ fanfiction on here... but, y'know, if you find it, LOVE IT AND SNUGGLE WITH IT AND MCSHIZZEM. :D 3

Note 4: Victoria (Ray's ex-girlfriend) is mah OC. She's probably a brunette...well, in my brain, she is.
