Okay, I hope you guys love this story!
Chapter 1: "The Pilot"
Ross' P.O.V.
"... I'm going to start without you." I say into the phone.
"No, don't!" Laura squeals, "I'm on my skateboard right now!"
"You're such a dork." I say as I set up my- our camera.
"Shut up! I'll be over in 10." She yells.
"I'm starting." I say, taking the phone off my ear.
"Ross-" She starts but, I hang up.
I was on the phone with my best friend, Laura. We've known each other since sixth grade. She used to get bullied and I always stood up for her. Freshmen year, she changed herself completely. Well, not completely. Just changed her look a bit. Laura's still a dork and completely awkward but, I like that about her. Over the years, we've grown a very strong bond.
Last year, when we were juniors, we did a cover of Taylor Swift's Everything has Changed and it went viral. We got over 5 million views. After that, we decided to start making more videos and soon we became YouTubers. We have over 2 million subscribers. Plus, we're always the YouTube's spotlight.
After I finish setting my camera up, I click play and begin.
"Hola, guys! Well, we're supposed to be doing a cover of Honeymoon Avenue by Ariana Grande but, as you can see, Laura isn't- Ahh!"
I get cut off as a small brunette falls on my lap. I chuckle as I see a skateboard roll in our apartment hall.
"Sorry." Laura says, blushing in embarrassment as she sit properly next to me.
"You know , I just got that on camera, right?" I ask, looking at her.
She gasps and hits my arm. "I told you not to start until I got here!"
"Well, I started a few minutes- no seconds before you came crashing in." I say.
"Whatever." Laura says nudging me. "Hey, my boyfriend told me this funny joke today."
"Really, what?"
"How did the girl cross the road?"
I roll my eyes. "How?"
"Sh-She skipped." Laura says, then burst out laughing.
"I don't get how that is funny..."
"It was funny, Ross." Laura says, giggling.
"You're a complete dork." I say.
"Okay, Mr. 'I cried because I got a D- in science."
"That was emotional for me! I never ever got anything lower than a B!"
Laura giggles and kisses my cheek, making me brush. "Does that make up for your D?"
"Kinda..."
She rolls her eyes and shuts the camera off.
"So, do you have any plans Friday night?" Laura asks.
"No, why?" I ask.
"Well..." Laura trails off.
I raise an eyebrow. "What'd you do?"
"I.. set you up with this really cute girl that I met at the mall." She says really quickly.
"Laura," I groans, throwing my head back.
"I am tried of you setting me up with random girls."
"But, she was really cute!" Laura whines.
"Why don't you date her then?" I joke.
"Because I'm not like that and I have a boyfriend that I love." Laura says like a little child.
"You kiss a girl in 10th grade..." I reminded her.
"I didn't kiss her! She kissed me! I just happen to kiss back..."
I chuckle at her response. "Whatever you wanna call it..."
"Can you please go one this one date with her?" Laura begs.
I sigh. "Just one date...?" I ask.
"Yes..."
"Fine."
"Yay! We can go on a double date!" Laura squeals.
"No."
"Why not?"
"You know I don't get along with your boyfriend."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please, Ross."
"Nope."
"I dealt with your stupid, snobby girlfriend for 9 months." Laura protests.
I groan. "How about we make a deal?"
"What kind of deal." Laura asks, raising an eyebrow.
"We post a cover on YouTube and if we get 3 million views or more, I'll go on that double date."
"And if we don't?"
"I don't have to go on that date and you have to clean our apartment for a whole month." I answer, smirking a bit.
"Eww!" Laura shieks. "But that's not fair! You're a total slob!"
"Deal or not?" I ask, putting my hand out.
She sigh and shakes my hand. "Deal. Now, go get your guitar."
"You ready?" I ask Laura. She nods.
I start to strum the guitar.
"I looked in my rear view mirror and...
It seemed to make a lot more sense
Than what I see ahead of us, ahead of us, yeah.
I'm ready to make that turn
Before we both crash and burn
Cause that could be the death of us, the death of us, baby
You know how to drive in rain
And you decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic,
I'm under pressure
Cause I can't have you the way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
Hey, what happened to the butterflies?
Guess they encountered that stop sign
And my heart is at a yellow light, a yellow light
Hey, right when I think that we found it,
Well, that's when we start turning around
You're saying, "Baby, don't worry,"
But we're still going the wrong way, baby
You know how to drive in rain
And you decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic,
I'm under pressure
Cause I can't have you the way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
They say only fools fall in love
Well, they must've been talking about us
And sometimes I feel like I've been here before
I could be wrong, but I know I'm right
We gon' be lost if we continue to fight
Honey I know, yeah,
We can find our way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic,
I'm under pressure
Cause I can't have you the way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
My baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
Baby, you know how to drive in rain
You decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in... traffic,
I'm under..., pressure, pressure
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on..."
"Bye, subscibe please!" I say, waving to the camera.
"Bye!" Laura says.
I shut the camera off.
"I'm going to win." Laura says.
"No, you're not." I defend.
"Oh, really? Then, why are there already 10,000 views, 30,000, 50,000-"
"I get it but, it's still far away from 3 million."
Laura rolls her eyes. "What time is it?"
"Uh... 3 o'clock." I say, looking at my laptop's time.
"Wanna go get some lunch?" She asks me.
"Sure." I say, taking off my guitar and standing up.
What do you think?
