How To Survive Being Famous
"This is the day." I chant aloud. This is the day I was moving to LA.
I'm One-XGame. My actual name is Parker, but I prefer to be called One-X or One.
I started YouTube at 22, professionally. I'm 23 now, a year into almost getting into college. At the moment, I'm trying to save enough to try to stay close to campus of the LA college I'm going to. I plan to major in Theatre, technical theatre.
I used to have dark brown hair, but I dyed it a soft black, and have blue eyes that shift to green depending on my mood. My hair comes to mid shoulder blade, and has a lot of fluff when it wants. Which is always. I'm about 5'4, with friends all taller than me. Just my luck.
It's been my dream to move to California, to Los Angeles. Since I seen the college I wanted, I knew where I was going. To add, it's where my favorite YouTuber lived, Markiplier.
I breathing in and out, I board the plane that is heading to Los Angeles. No PAX, no Vidcon. I hope to only to survive the plane ride, then survive the people who will surely recognize me. I mean, I do have 4 million subscribers.
As the plane took off, I tensed, just waiting until I could turn my tablet on, and forget about my nausea.
Markiplier had just finished putting his reaction compilation of Five Nights At Freddy's.
His no longer 'floofy' hair was sticking up in every direction since he ran his hand through it while uploading it.
Rubbing his face, Mark stood up to stretch his back. He loves his fans so much. Though...it was quite lonely.
Mark made his way to the bathroom to wash his face free of whatever was on it. He wet a washcloth and rubbed his handsome face thoroughly. He couldn't look like a mess when he goes out with his best friend, Bob, Wade, Jack, and the others.
The man sighed as he dried his face and looked into the mirror. He seen fanart of a Darkiplier looking back at him through a mirror, but it was just a fan made persona for when Mark gets dark in a game. He couldn't be real. Right?
Shaking his head free of thoughts that clouded his mind, Mark left the bathroom, closing the door. He went to his computer, which he never turned off, and went through his emails. It still warmed his heart, and brought him joy, to know that he helped each of these people. He wanted to be able to meet each and every one, but he doubts that completely possible.
He does this for an hour before going to get ready for the dinner him, his closest friends were going to have.
About 4 1/2 hours later, I land at Los Angeles airport. Gathering my suitcases, which isn't many, maybe 4, I left some at Raith's, my best friend, she's coming up next flight.
As I head to the lobby, I see a sign that says,"One-XGame" shrugging, I tell the guy holding the sign I'm One-XGame. He brightens and he tells me that my car was here to take me to my apartment.
Going to the car, we stuffed my bags in the trunk. Sitting in the passenger seat felt weird...I'll have to buy a new car soon...The guy then drove me to my new apartment building.
After about 2 hours of fighting traffic, we make it to the building. He told me what my apartment number was and I thanked him. Smiling, the man drove off.
With ease, I carry my suitcases to my apartment, the car driver had given me the keys as well. I unlock the door. I notice it looks sorta like Markiplier's does. Shaking my head, I realize most apartments must look like this on this side of town.
My other stuff, like my furniture and other things should be delivered by tomorrow. I already had the owner of the building move my bed and couch in. That's all we agreed on.
Flopping down on the couch, I groan as I realize I need to set my computer up. Standing back up reluctantly, I start to set my scratch made computer up.
Facecam. Check.
Mic. Check.
Computer screen, intact. Check.
Tower. Check.
Steam account. Check.
Markiplier video check. Check.
After setting the whole thing up, I hope this place has better bandwidth and internet as Mark's.
I still have a lot to unpack. So, I decided to save that for later. I need to rest...jetlag...gotta love it.
I fall asleep on the couch after a bit. What? I was tired! You try setting up a huge ass awesome computer.
I didn't realize I accidentally left the door open a little. Which gave a certain neighbor curiosity.
Oops...
End Notes: Don't hurt me I only own Parker and One-XGame! Fun fact! This was originally going to be a one-shot, but it was so liked on Deviantart, I added more chapters! And still am.
