Chapter One

Last day in New York before I move to Colorado with my aunt after leaving the children's care home. I was supposed to leave at 17 but my aunt finished the military only a few months ago and went into retirement. I decided to surprise my fans with a meet and greet today as my last day in New York I promised to get the event booked with the rest of the influencers I have been in contact with who want to say goodbye I grew close to them I wouldn't call them my friends because we don't see each other all the time or have contact but we just grew closer. The only downfall of YouTube for me is that I have no peace of mind literally. People follow me everywhere and I get photographers in my face almost every time I leave the place. Today isn't different people came from other towns and states for the meet and greet I can't bail on them it's not in me. I get ready with my stuff as I prepare for my aunt to pick me up soon. People love who real I'm with them, I don't hide things not things I don't want to hide. There is some stuff I rather not tell them because it's private. Mostly I'm honest at heart and I love every single one of them that want to meet me and see me. I walk outside into the big coach that's waiting with everyone else. I walk inside with my big pass over my neck as they hug me tightly sitting me down next to them. I look around smiling when Allison gives me soft smile excited as we drive towards the big town hall where we do our separate get and meet. I know a lot guys and girls coming from Colorado too which is making me excited.

When we arrive I step out smiling when I see a lot of them screaming happily I look at others who are in shock as we step down I look through the crowd with big smile running up to them and hugging them all with all my strength. They all cheer happily I walk inside where someone comes with camera in my face I gasp walking faster plastering smile on my face I walk with the others when they give me concerned look and I laugh happily. They always do that when so many people come because the numbers go bigger with each event we make I stand with others drinking coffee when they open the doors and everyone walks inside happily talking to each other as they head towards us I look around them when someone with joyful scream runs towards me and leap into my arms I giggle almost falling over as I hug her tightly. It's a 14-year-old girl I look at her when her brother runs after her frustrated I ask her to not run from him. but she only nods and passes me the notebook I write a message for her with laser focus and my autograph. She kisses my cheek pushing her brother forward who gasps almost falling over. I steady him. He looks my age and is very surprised he is here. He smiles awkwardly giving me my shirt with a quote. " Never regret your life choices. " I smile hiding it behind my hair when Noah walks up with a smile sees the guy waiting and passes him the shirt and turns me around.

" You can't flirt with fans, girl."

" I'm sorry for not, he is a little irrational today"

I push him toward his stand I sit down as others the same sitting in a circle with me I keep on signing and talking with them while the girl with her brother sits on the floor and he patiently waits for her to finish listening as he hugs her softly as her body leans against him. Others talk about plans to start YouTube and how I motivated them I smile brightly at them as thousands of people slowly say their goodbyes get their autographs and wave running off happily when my aunt walks up to me with a smile as pulls me in close kissing my forehead. I groan embarrassed when others bring food and drinks and we sit down eating when the girl runs back inside little scared and confused. I stand up to her when she pulls me aside I look into her eyes and they fill with tears.

" I can't find my brother..can you help me."

I smile with a nod as we run outside looking around everywhere for him. I scratch my head running around the building to see him drive up even more frustrated. She hugs me running into the car I wave slowly walking backwards spilling my drink as I bump into someone I gasp with a groan I apologise running inside just to see my aunt pull up and call me over. I nod asking her to wait a moment I grab my stuff waving and hugging others as I take my leave to drive to Colorado with my auntie. I get inside the car with a big smile and wrap my arms around her when she laughs softly hugging me back tightly. We taking a plane since my auntie took a friend's car from here. We drive towards the airport I look out of the window with little sadness leaving New York behind me is going to be tough. The new school I thank God it's only one year left of hard studying.

*********

We landed in Colorado springs I grab my bag and walk out of the plane with my auntie behind me. We take off towards the car I follow her closely behind me when she opens the trunk to her range rover I put all the suitcases in looking around I jump into the car putting my seatbelt on when she smiles squeezing my knee and takes off towards her home. I watch the sunset as she drives on the highway I lay my head against the window when we turn left as we approach the Hollywood street with big houses. I look down at my hands nervous hearing her sing to the music on the radio. I let out a soft giggle as we drive up to the gates I check the time it's still nice and early I get out of the car walking inside with my bags when an older guy walks out of the house saying hello to my auntie and grabs her suitcases with a smile and looks at me carefully and gives me biggest grin with a small wave. I look at him and wave softly walking inside dragging my suitcase in with a sigh when she tries to catch me I fall on my butt and scratch my head.

" Martin doesn't laugh, you are the same clumsy"

He burst out laughing helping me up. I stand up starting him up and down crossing my arms. He stops laughing shaking my hand gently squeezing looking straight into my eyes I quickly look away walking upstairs dragging the suitcase when he used it from me taking his shoes off and my aunt yells from downstairs.

" He is going to school with you, be nice to each other"

I chuckle rolling my eyes I put my hair in a messy bun throwing my suitcase on the bed almost stumbling I open the suitcase while he brings another suitcase I take everything out the whole computer plugging it in and slowly put it on the desk when he walks I open the suitcase and finish plugging everything in with my cameras and lights. I put the suitcases away. He looks at me carefully and looks at the computer walking around it with a whistle and sits in my chair as it starts massaging and he lets out a groan. I giggle in my hand putting the clothes away one by one when my auntie walks inside giving me smile and puts new books and planner for school I grimace looking away and Martin stand up with smile snapping his fingers.

" You want to go to football game with me? My younger brother is playing and you can see the school get more comfortable with is"

I look at him thinking nodding I send him outside I change into some short and oversized jumper I step downstairs excited and as I grab keys to my car Aunt Demi waves as we walk outside I get into the car throwing the keys and he grins getting into his house quickly grabbing a bag and jumps into the driver sit ad turns around speeding off checking the time. The game should start soon from what he told me. It's going to be packed but he got me a ticket since auntie told him to do so I laughed hard. How he listens to demi it's unbelievable. When he drives up I clear my throat and we step outside I grab my water bottle and he grabs my hand dragging me inside the school I gasp almost running when we step outside a lot of people start sitting down. I look at Martin grabbing tightly onto his hand, he notices I get nervous and he wraps his arm around my shoulder walking to the front sits and pulls me down with a big smile, I check all the players on the field getting ready I rub my hands putting them inside my pockets when the game starts and I watch intensely cheering with others. Martin chuckles I kick him taking his popcorn from him glaring straight into his eyes eating it and he looks away blushing.

" Martin leggy is blushing "

I pinch his cheeks with soft giggle as he swats my hands away I go for it again and he laughs moving away. A guy named Bradley runs with the ball I bite my lip hoping he scores. When he does everyone cheer I stand up doing the same with Martin.

The game continues I hit Martin annoyed for disturbing me I focus on the end of the game when Bradley team shots again and they run around for few minutes and take off the field. Martin grabs my hand walking me to the hallway I stop shaking my head and he grows annoyed rolling his eyes and throws me over his shoulder walking inside I spank him hard and he gives It back.

" You getting to comfortable with me."

" You started, be nice auntie said remember "

" She told you that Martin, let me down "

He sings loud as everyone stares I look down with my arms hanging I start to wiggle annoyed when he walks into the boys changing room I scream and he forgot that he is holding me and steps out quickly I hit him hard and he puts me down walking back inside. I stand against the wall going through my phone. People stare at me nasty and some give me warm smiles. I look at my phone when Martin throws a grape at me I look up with a sigh walking up and grabbing the keys from his pocket and he quickly takes them shaking his head I cross my arms when guys walk out walking into him I pull Martin out of the way. He grabs onto and leans over the locker I push him off looking from behind at the boys. They all wave apart from Bradley. I wave back and drag Martin towards the car.

" great game guys! I'm hungry auntie demi said to you to be nice."

" oh auntie's card is pulled out..come on guys we going to eat"

I nod walking towards the car I open the door and get into the back with the rest letting Martin's brother sit with him in the front. Guys get inside looking carefully at me. I look down when Martin flicks my forehead grinning. " they won't bite you. Get used to guys there is a lot of them in school..you know one you might like and have a boyfriend. I listen to his nonsense and burst out laughing covering my mouth quickly as he drives and I slap his head hard.

" First I rather be vomit than have a boyfriend who is surely a player and has long legs where accidentally he walks into some girl's vagina blaming it on some lame excuse he was drunk. Second I don't do relationships I'm happy by myself. Third guys don't date me they friend me 'cause I'm YouTuber, feel free Martiny to take me for a wild date I make sure you regret it."

I look at one of the guys and they smirk I shrug going through my phone to listen to music when Martin's mouth hangs open when he stops the car turning around and grabbing my wrist and flicks my nose I groan angrily crawling into the front grabbing the keys elbowing him in the rib and quietly sneak through the front running out as Martin steps out I run inside the restaurant hiding the key when Bradley walks inside starting to stare intensely I sit down and order some nacho burgers fries and milkshake taking my card out when the guys order I give the women my card with a smile unnoticed and she nods taking it carefully walking away.

When the food arrives we all dig in. Even Bradley gets into conversation with the guys as I eat quietly when I look up all of them stare I drink my milkshake clearing my throat. " what's wrong" I ask quietly when they smile with a chuckle I sigh finishing my food when the waitress brings my card I take it with a smile and sit there looking through my phone.

" I got game live stream in an hour, Martin."

" Okay they can wait a little bit"

" No they can't I have a schedule we going or I'm dragging you out of here or you walking and I take Bradley and the rest"

He pouts but smiles when he takes the card out I stop him saying I paid and we walk out of the restaurant Bradley steps closer to me walking side by side asking what my stream is I pass him and get into the car I get into the back with Bradley this time and he checks out my profiles I look ahead pretending I didn't see anything when Martin snap his fingers. " I'm joining you today I want to see how you play." oh and me too Bradley says before I say anything I roll my eyes slapping Martin's head hard and he groans with the biggest smile as he pulls up to my house and my auntie runs out happily. I shake my head embarrassed.

" Martin is annoying "

She laughs pulling me into a hug I hug her gently stepping away when Bradley and Martin tell me they will see me soon. I groan quietly as she walks me inside the house I check the time as I walk into the kitchen grabbing some juice and snacks.

" I got live stream today I'm raising money for kids in children's care home. When guys come let them in"

She nods as I walk upstairs changing into a crop top and shorts getting my headset on turning the computer into a live stream as it begins I talk to everyone for a little bit and all my fans join the stream donating as I start the game up telling the rules and letting them know two other people will be joining so the donations go to children. They get all excited when they burst through the door I turn around towards the computer when Bradley checks it out and sits beside me on another chair when one of my fans comments. " Bradley the hottie I can donate for him, let me play with him." I blush to shake my head laughing when I tell them after my game they can play with him the higher donation will play with Bradley and Martin. The game starts as I jump in the sit excited clicking the keyboard and focused when Martin reads the comment.

" Team Bradley or Team Martin I hope she dates one of them "

I start laughing hiding the comments when Martin reopens them reading I kick him when I win the game I do a happy dance, Bradley sits down in my place putting the headset on as I stand behind looking through how he plays the game when Martin whispers I giggle when Bradley wins I smile sitting on the chair beside him and he picks another fan and starts talking to them when he reads a comment that's got question in.

" Alora if you could pick between Bradley and Martin who would you  pick?"

I chuckle leaning over Bradley and replying quickly to one of my fans Bradley because martin is annoying today. The live stream goes on for almost three hours when Bradley puts me back in my chair sitting beside talking his phone out letting all his mates know about the live stream. I keep on playing and talking to everyone and answering questions when they ask about another meet and greet but in Colorado, I shake my head saying sorry because I start school tomorrow I won't be able for another month or two to do meet and greet. When I finish the stream two hours later I groan rubbing my neck checking the balance out and my eyes widen I transfer the money to my bank account to write a cheque for the children's care home. Martin high five and so does Bradley I smile happily when my auntie walks inside turning the lamp on and looking at the balance.

" That is a lot of money Alora"

" Yes for the children, I need a shower "

Bradley walks out without a word I transfer money to martin and Bradley's accounts that was donated for them. I turn the computer off and go take a short shower before I go to get ready for school and sleep.

After I got ready for bed Martin made a group with guys and added me I groan saying goodbye and he stops me from sending a photo of the school uniform I record a voice note cursing that I ain't putting that on never and turn the phone off closing my eyes I drift off to sleep.
