Los Angeles always seemed to be busy at night. People were wandering down the streets, making their ways to clubs or just to go out to dinner. Either way, traffic was more of a pain in the ass than expected.
It was even more awkward because I had to drive with Marzia riding beside me in the passenger's seat and she was pissed at me and Felix.
She wouldn't speak to either one of us, even though poor Felix tried to engage us all into conversation to no avail. I felt bad, but hey. It's not my fault he told me I looked beautiful.
I just hope they can patch things up. I don't want to be a home wrecker.
We finally arrived the right address in a suburb outside of the city. I parked the car and we all walked over to the house, booming with music and people walking inside.
I felt like I wasn't supposed to be here. It was almost like I was supposed to be at home, sitting in my room all alone instead of going to a major party for YouTubers.
We walked inside the nice suburban home and I nearly gasped at the sight of people dancing, eating, mingling amongst themselves. A Calvin Harris song was playing from the DJ's stand as people tried to talk over top of it.
I couldn't help but smile.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to look at Felix, who must have noticed my excitement.
"Crazy, isn't it?" He asked.
"Yeah! I mean, this is my first actual party." I replied.
He chuckled, "I don't go to very many either. Only when Marzia wants me to."
I looked around and tried to spot the Italian girl, but she was nowhere in sight.
"Speaking of Marzia, where did she go?" I asked him.
He looked around, also unaware that she was gone. He shrugged his shoulders and returned his gaze to me.
"I don't know. She's still pissed though." He said.
I frowned at him. He noticed this and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"Don't worry Maddie. She'll get over it."
"I hope she does." I replied.
"Hey! It's Pewds!" I heard from behind us.
Felix and I both turned around and spotted Ian and Anthony from Smosh making their way towards us.
I smiled in excitement. I loved watching these boys on YouTube. They were just too funny.
Felix laughed and wrapped each of them in a brotherly hug.
"What's up guys? I haven't seen you since I came to New York." Felix said.
Both of the men smiled at him.
"I know. It's been too long, man." Anthony said.
I felt kind of awkward because I had just been standing there listening to the three men catching up. I was also taking in their appearances. I always thought they were cute, but Anthony was much more my type it seemed.
'Madison. You need to stop it. He has a girlfriend.' I said to myself mentally.
'But Pewds does too and you're still hanging out with him like he's yours.' I fought back.
I blinked a few times, bringing myself back to reality. I really needed to stop talking to myself.
"So, you guys know Madison, right?" I heard Felix say.
They both looked at me and smiled.
"Yeah. This is the girl you were promoting so much." Ian said.
"And I can see why!" Anthony replied.
I blushed and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"It's nice to meet you guys." I finally said.
"Oh my God! She talked!" Ian exclaimed.
All four of us began laughing and just stood there, talking to each other. After nearly ten minutes, I felt like I had known the men my entire life. They were so easy going and hilarious.
We decided to go mingle with other people and I was introduced to basically everyone at the party. I felt like I was a part of the huge YouTube family. Not one person acted harshly towards me, and some even said they saw my videos!
I was so happy.
During the night, Felix and I were standing around with a group of people talking whenever the famous Alex Goot approached me.
"You're Madison Bexley, aren't you?" He asked.
I wanted to drop dead. He was someone I looked at when I was starting my career. He's just too talented for his own good.
"I am. And you're Alex Goot!" I said excitedly.
He chuckled. "That I am. Um, I'm kinda in a jam and I was wondering if you could help me out?"
I shook my head, waiting for him to continue.
"Well, I'm supposed to perform tonight and I was going to do 'Beauty and a Beat' with my buddy Kurt, but Chrissy isn't here to sing her part."
I think I knew where this was going.
"I love that song! Especially your arrangement. It's so much better than Bieber."
He smiled. "Thank you. But we can't perform it since Chrissy isn't here. So I was wondering if you would like to take her part?"
I nearly fainted.
But it didn't take me any longer than five seconds to say, "Of course I will!"
(If you're wondering who Kurt & Chrissy are or what the song sounds like, look up Alex Goot – Beauty and a Beat on YouTube!)
