A YouTuber's Love Story
Chapter 9
I woke up expecting to be wrapped in Toby's arms, but he was nowhere to be found. The sun was shining through the window, and nearly blinded me when I opened my eyes. I jumped back at the sight and sat up. I rubbed my eyes as I stood up off the bed. I didn't hear any sound in the house. I made my way throughout the house trying to find Toby. When I looked in the kitchen there was a letter on the counter. I smiled as I grabbed it, seeing my name on the front. I opened it, and read.
To Tay,
Uh, yeah, I'm writing a letter to you. You'll find out why. But, anyway. I need to tell you all my feelings and things like that. But, I'm bad at saying this kind of stuff in person, so I wrote this. I've left the house, so you can read this. Text me when you've read it and all, so then I'll come back. So I guess I'm just gonna write now.
When, I first met you, I'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat, and I mean it. I thought that you were beautiful. I was acting all nervous the first time we talked at the hotel. You were wearing your purple plaid shorts, and that blue jacket. I saw that you were watching Tangled, which I thought was adorable. When we talked you acted really nervous, this didn't make sense to me. Then I found out that you watched my videos. I thought it was funny that you had just asked me all these questions like you didn't know the answer. Your thoughts would slip out when you were deep in thought. I thought you were perfect. And you are perfect. I didn't want to leave that night. I wanted to stay with you so we could talk. And, as you know, I eventually did. You didn't act like any other fans of mine would. You really did act like a friend. Then, the next day, after talking to you a lot, I realized that I didn't want you to leave LA. I wanted you to stay with me. I wasn't planning on telling you how much I would miss you, but I just, kind of broke that night. I realized that I loved you. I realized that I was in love with you. I knew that it was stupid, only knowing you for hours, but I felt like I had known you my whole life. That night you stayed at my place, I put you in my bed and set up a couple of pillows and blankets on the couch for me. Before I fell asleep, I went into my room to check on you. You looked so peaceful, and happy. I was about to leave, but I couldn't help but be next to you. I lied down next to you, and just stared at the back of your head. (Is that weird?) It had been about ten minutes when you started to roll over. I didn't know what to do. We were barely touching, but our faces were inches apart. I found out that you rolled around a lot in bed so you ended up in my arms a couple of times. I eventually fell asleep, thinking about you. When I woke up I snuck out, so you wouldn't hear me. I figured that it was best if you didn't know that I had been in bed with you. But you found that out soon enough. After an episode of Terraria I decided to go get your stuff at the hotel. I didn't want you to spend a lot of money on rooms….. Oh, and I wanted you to stay with me as long as possible. Then, well, you've been with me all the time since then. And all I really need to say now is, I love you. I really, truly love you. I've been in love with you ever since we met, and I can't imagine not being with you. I really hope you feel the same way… Well I hope this wasn't too cheesey! So I guess this letter is done. Oh, and before you text me, make a video for your fans… they want an explanation about the last two lazy vlogs! ;)
Love you lots,
Toby

The heart he put at the end made my heart melt. I can't believe things like this were coming out of his mind. I never expected him to be as sensitive as he was. Not that that was a problem… I guess my next step was to make a video. I didn't think that people would actually miss me, but Toby did say they wanted an explanation. I went back to the bedroom and grabbed my camera. I looked around the house for a place to put the camera, and I eventually placed it on the dining room table. I got down on my knees so they could see me better. I didn't feel like editing, so I just pressed record and started talking. I knew exactly what I would say. "Hey everyone, uh, I probably won't be my regular self this video just because this is a very serious thing for me. But, I have a question for you guys. Do any of you believe in love at first sight? Or even just falling in love after a couple of hours? Because, I have done that just recently. I have been in LA for about ten days now and I did my red carpet work. And then night I got back was the night that I fell in love. I've known this person since Saturday and I leave this Saturday." Was I going to say that I was moving to LA? I shouldn't. I wanted to tell Toby at the airport. "It's not a fun situation and I'm pretty sure this person loves me back, it seems crazy but…" My thoughts sort of trailed of. "But anyway, do you think it's a crazy situation? Have you ever been in this situation? And, if I did have a relationship with this person, I would probably have to travel all the time. I have the next year booked all over the world. I would quit my job if I could for this person. But I can't not have a job, and I don't know what my backup would be." Now, all this was true. I didn't have a backup job or hobby that I could make a living out of. Now I was starting to tear up at this new thought that has come to mind. "So if you could all help me out a little with this that would be great." My voice started to crack. "Well, I guess that's all I really wanted to say. I'll try and put a video out as soon as possible, and uh, thanks." I gave a weak smile to the camera and pressed the stop button. Even though I was staying in LA I was still scared of what would happen to me and Toby. I wiped the tears from my face and tried to relax. I plugged my camera into my laptop and started to upload the video. After it was done uploading I didn't add links in the description or anything. I didn't feel it was necessary at the moment. I called the video "Him…" even thought it was a really corny name for it. After uploading I waited a few minutes for comments to show up. I looked at the comments and saw that top comment was a reply to someone. I looked through the comments until I found the person who made the comment. It said, "EVERYBODY TWEET YOUTUBE AND COMMENT ON FACEBOOK TO YOUTUBE AND SAY TO PAY HER!" I looked back in the comments some more. "If she got paid for YouTube she could stay with him!" Ha, my subscribers were funny. I looked back at the top comment and refreshed the page. Ten more likes. I refreshed again. Ten more likes. More and more likes were showing up. My curiosity overpowered my brain, which was telling me that it was a stupid idea. It could work out, me making YouTube videos for a living. I loved making videos so why not? I went to the Facebook page first to find that there were hundreds and hundreds of posts from people saying that they should pay me. I smiled as I saw people posting over and over again on their page. I loved their support, but I didn't think that it would actually happen. I checked twitter to see that YouTube had replied to a couple of tweets. One said "Hmm. Not a bad idea." I smiled. Maybe it could happen. I shook my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my head and grabbed my phone. I texted Toby saying, "Okay. "
Toby's POV
I shoved my face in my hands. "Dude, calm down. It's not a big deal," said Gabe.
"It's not a big deal? I just wrote the stupidest letter ever to the girl I love and she is probably going to be freaked out by it, and you think it's not a big deal?" Maybe I was freaking out a little. But it had been three hours, and I was regretting writing that letter more and more as time passed by.
"Okay chill out. She'll probably text you at anyti-" Gabe was cut off by the beeping of my phone. I looked up at Gabe with wide eyes, and he looked back with an annoyed expression on his face. He gestured toward my phone and I slowly reached for it. I grabbed it, but I didn't do anything. Gabe gave an irritated sigh and snagged my phone from me. He unlocked it and started looking at my messages. "Look, she said `Okay.` then a smiley face. You can go anytime you want now." Gabe was definitely aggravated with me. I took my phone back and shoved it in my pocket. I walked to the door and yelled "Thank you!" to Gabe as I opened it. I heard a "You're welcome!" as the door slammed shut. I started the car and started driving towards my house, my heart beating faster and faster the closer I got. When I parked in the driveway I had to calm myself by taking steady breaths. You're being stupid Toby. I raised my head up, and got out of the car, I regained my confidence. I shut my door harder than I needed to, and I flinched. I made my way up the steps, and just as I was reaching for the doorknob, the door flew open and I was attacked by Tay, in a good way. I wrapped my arms around her waist as I picked her up. She kissed my ear and giggled as I kissed her ear back.
"I love you," she whispered with her face buried in my neck. I kissed her hair and laid my chin on top of her head.
"I love you too," I whispered back to her. She pulled her head back to smile at me, and then pecked me on the lips. I giggled and kissed her passionately. I could feel her heartbeat against my chest, and I was pretty sure that she could feel mine against hers. We had never kissed each other like this; it was a big step in our relationship, even though it was just a kiss. Our lips moved perfectly in synch. When we finally pulled away we leaned our foreheads against each others, our eyes still closed. I could feel her warm breath against my lips as we stood in silence for a few minutes. Then I thought of something. I looked at her with a smile on my face, she did the same. "So did you make a video?" I asked her with a smirk on my face. She sighed as her cheeks turned red. "So you did?" She nodded. "And it's really embarrassing?" She nodded again. I laughed and pulled out my phone, looking at new videos in my subscriptions box. I thought I saw her channel name when she put her hand over my phone. I looked at her with a grin on my face.
"If you watch it at least make sure I'm not in the room or I'm asleep," she told me. I chuckled and shoved my phone back in pocket. She nodded in approval and grabbed my hand, dragging me inside. I had realized just then that we were outside and that the neighbors probably saw us. Oh well. I shut the door behind me and grabbed Tay's waist from behind her.
"So what have you been up too?"
"Nothing." She said with a weak smile on her face. Her mood had changed so quickly.
"Scared?" I asked her hesitantly. She nodded at me with worried eyes.
"Me too Tay," I said as I nuzzled her neck.
