Chapter 1
Godfather
I was only three years old when I first met my godfather. It was when he had come to visit for a weekend but I don't remember him much. I don't even remember his name and now I was on plane to go live with him. Last year I had discovered a website known as YouTube and had come to love many YouTubers such as Tobuscus and Pewdiepie. I am seven years old and my mom and dad died only two years ago when I was five. I was an orphan until they found my godfather. They didn't tell me his name just the fact that he lived in L.A. I was happy to go see a new place but scared of what awaited me. A flight attendant approaches me breaking my train of thought "Anita the plane will be landing in ten minutes and I will be taking you off okay honey." I give a small nod and she walks away. I didn't like being called honey much but didn't say anything for fear of being rude. I slide into the empty window seat that I rejected earlier and look out over the California coast. It was beautiful but all I could think about was the fact that the YouTuber I looked up to most Tobuscus, lived here. When the plane lands the attendant returns to get my bags and walk me to meet my godfather and start my new life here. "Did you know that a very famous YouTuber lives here?" I asked her and she nods "His name is Toby Turner" I say "I would really like to meet him one day" The attendant smiles like she knows something but doesn't say anything. She had my custody papers tucked under her arm. When we arrive at the sitting area I sit and wait. We waited for about ten minutes before the door to the airport opens. When I see who walked in my jaw dropped. I watched as he makes his way over to where we sat and asks "Hello. This is Anita right?" He asks and the attendant nods "Yes. Toby Turner correct?" She asks him and he nods. Of course he was Toby Turner but the thing was how did he know my name and what was he doing here. "Umm are you my godfather?" I ask curiously to Toby and then he bends down in front of me "It's good to see you again. Do you remember me?" I think for a moment but come up short. I shake my head "That's alright you were only three. I'm very sorry for what happen to you Anita and I want to make up for not being there for you sooner." I was still in shock the great Toby Turner was my godfather. I was going to be a Turner. "You're Tobuscus." I say and Toby smiles "Seems that my goddaughter is a fan." I give a wide grin and a nod. "Well what do you say we go home and get you settled in?" I nod again and then he signs the custody papers. He then gives the flight attendant's hand a small shake and grabs my bags. I follow him out to his car. It was a convertible. Perfect for the summer lucky for us it was just that, summer. I get in the car and wait for Toby. The ride home consisted of me humming a tune. A song I knew from watching Toby's videos his theme song. When Toby heard what I was humming he sang the words. I then started to hum the Sideburn song and then the Dramatic song. "Can you sing for me Anita?" Toby asks me after I finish humming the first verse of the Sideburn song again. I hesitate for a second then restart the song this time I sing "Sideburns on the side of my face as my head turns you can see there in the same place on either sideburns they can't be replaced my insides burn when I think of the days before my." I stop I was shy. I had always sung to myself and never thought I was good. The fact that I was singing a song Toby made to him made me feel nervous. "Anita" Toby says "You okay? Why did you stop? You were really good. It's okay if you're scared I get that way sometimes too." I give a small smile even though he may not be able to see it from where he sits. "We're here Anita" Toby says stopping the car in a driveway. He opens the grudge door and pulls the car inside. That is when I get excited again. I was about to go into Toby's house but it wouldn't be just Toby's house for much longer. For as soon as I enter it would become my house too. "Toby" I say "You should vlog this." He smiles "I was thinking about it but thought I should ask you first. If I do vlog I should call you something else. How about for today I just say that I have a new addition and tomorrow we can introduce you to the Audience." I give a smile that sounded good "Tomorrow we are also going to go meet Olga for breakfast she knew I was picking you up today." I give another smile and then he opens his door and then mine. I get out and wait by his front door. He unlocks it and opens it. "Go on ahead I will bring in your bags." I feel nervous I was going to enter the house of someone I admired so much. I was going to not only get to live my dream of meeting Toby Turner I was going to live with him. I was going to be a Turner. I take a deep breath and walk in. He follows me. "Gryphon" Toby calls out and that's when I here the nails of four paws hit hardwood floor. I smile I had seen Gryphon in Toby's videos and had always liked him because he was cute. I bend down and Gryphon runs to me and then proceeds to lick my face. I laugh something for the longest time only Toby could make me do while I was in the orphanage. I was going to have a better life now. One in which I would be living something I never thought possible. I go to the living room and play with Gryphon for a while as Toby brings in my bags. Night comes all too quickly and I find myself in bed. It was comfy but it smelled too clean and too much like laundry soap. I lay for about an hour until I could take it no longer. I walk out to the kitchen to get a glass of water. That was when I saw him on the couch. He had a computer on his lap. I walked over to him and sat beside him "Anita what are you doing up?" he asks kindly I give a small sigh and say "Couldn't sleep" I say simply. He smiles and I lay down beside him with a Black, Red and White pillow under my head. Sleep comes easier here lying beside someone who can protect me.
