I got inspiration! Yay :) So, another chapter guys! Have fun with it!
It had been a couple of days since Harbour Park and Jack had come over the other day with buttered microwave popcorn and The Breakfast Club. Zoe was out for a walk in the morning air because it 'refreshed her'... I don't know.
Text from Jack: You know, I'm having trouble with a new video idea. Thoughts?
Text to Jack: Another Ask Jack? Or collab dares?
Text from Jack: Collab dares... That could work! You are genius. I know the perfect person.
Text to Jack: You're not talking about collab-ing with yourself there, are you?
Text from Jack: Well I am pretty perfect :D But it probably should be someone else.
Text to Jack: So...? Or is it like a secret YouTuber thing?
Text from Jack: Secret, kinda. Can you come around at 10? Pwetty pwease ^.^
Text to Jack: Since you asked nicely. I'll be there soon.
Text from Jack: :DDDDD
Before I left, I flicked a quick text to Zoe to let her know I was at Jack's. When I got there, Jack came running outside and embraced me in a big hug.
"BELLA!" He screamed, picking me up and twirling around.
"Hi! Good to see you too! Could you put me down, please?" I say.
"Oh, yeah, sorry." He puts me down and rests his arms by his side.
"Come here." I say and stand up on my toes, kissing him and placing my hands on his shoulders. He smiles and wraps his arms around my waist. I smile too and turn my head sideways and up again to face him while we kiss. We seem to be out there for a while until we hear a crashing noise on the footpath behind us. We both stop and turn around to see a teenage girl who seemed to have just been shopping. She had dropped the shopping bag and was now staring at us.
"Oh my god..." She said.
"No." I heard Jack whisper.
"Oh my god!" The girl repeats. "Y-You..."
"Look, um, what's your name?" I say, moving toward her.
"J-J-Jasmine..." She muttered.
"Jasmine? Look, you can't tell anyone what you've seen here, okay? When Jack's ready, we'll release it. But you can't tell anyone." I say. She stands there and nods.
"C-can I get a picture with Jack?" She asks quietly.
"Of course." Jack says and moves next to her to take a picture. "Do you mind?" He asks me. I shake my head and take the girl's phone, snapping two pictures incase the first didn't work out. When I give the girl her phone back she hugs Jack and we help her pick up the groceries she dropped.
"Thank you for the picture." She says.
"No problem. Just please don't tell anyone." Jack tells her and she walks off. "That could've been worse..." He whispers to me.
"Yeah... I'm not totally convinced she'll keep it quiet though." I say.
"How do you mean?" He asks.
"Well... You know, teen girls like to spread gossip..." I tell him. He stands for a minute, thinking.
"I know!" He says. "How would you feel about being on the Internet, live?" He asks.
"You mean...?" I say.
"Yep! YouNow broadcast!" He yells and grabs my hand, taking me inside.
He pulls up the YouNow page and his Twitter and Facebook, linking his broadcast and saying 'Surprise! 15 minutes until we air, featuring a special guest!'.
"Jack! Jack, what do I say? What do I do?" I panic.
"Calm down, you'll be fine. Just let me take the lead. Just go with it." He says and winks. He refreshes his tabs and there's panic and frenzy on both. Comments on Facebook and rants on Twitter about who the special guest is and he's going live. There's a couple of them saying other YouTubers, someone says Will's back, others say Eliza, Jack's cousin.
"I don't know about this..." I say. "What if they all hate on me... Us. What if your whole fandom just..."
"Don't worry!" He says. "I mean sure, there's gonna be those who don't like the idea but screw them. 5 minutes left," He continues. I take a couple of deep breaths and look at the computer screen. He refreshes it a couple of times to see different comments and guesses. And then, it's time. He clicks the button to broadcast and soon, there are comments on there too.
"Who's the special guest?" Most of them say.
"Hi guys! How're you going? Um, I called this broadcast to... To give you some news. Huh, first of all, there will be a new video within the next couple of days and secondly... Um..." He pauses and looks at some of the comments. "I can see you're all pretty excited about my special guest and... Say hi to Bella everyone!" He says and zooms out his camera so I'm in the shot too.
"Hi guys." I say and wave.
There's a whole new set of comments coming in.
"Who's she? What was her name? Bella, I think." Are the most common of them.
"Um, so... Okay, Bella and I... Are... We're going out!" He says quickly. This time there's more comments.
"Oh my god she's so pretty! I give up. My baby is dating her, why?" Is the general idea of the comments.
"Now, I know this is pretty... shocking for some of you. But we thought it was time to tell you all." He says. "Why don't you tell them a bit about you?" He says to me.
"Oh yeah um, hi! My name is Arabella but most people call me Bella or Belle. Um, I'm Australian. I like... Arts and crafts and singing. And yeah... Hi!" I say, shaking.
"Mother f! She's Australian! Arabella, see I don't have a nice name like hers! She should start an arts and crafts blog." Are the comments coming in. Jack stops after a couple of comments and looks at the screen. There are a couple of people saying they don't believe it, he's just joking. Jack sits up straight.
"If you guys don't believe me..." He says and turns around to face me. He puts one hand on my cheek and crashes our lips together. "That ought to set them straight." He whispers in my ear and I laugh a little. Did Jack just kiss me while we were live on the Internet? New comments come pouring in.
"Damn life! She's so lucky! Ugh, I hate her! I ship Jella!"
This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
"So yeah, new video in a couple of days! Um, we've got to go now but thanks for tuning in!" He says. "Byeeeeeee!" And we both wave to the camera. And then it's all over. I sigh and lie back on the couch.
"Jella." He says.
"Excuse me?" I ask, sitting up.
"Jella! Our ship name." He exclaims. "Kinda sounds like Jelly."
