Confessions of an Aging Drama Queen

Ch 1

"Good morning everyone." Kellin said tiredly to the camera. "It's nine twenty six and Cashby already has their music blaring throughout the apartment. Can you hear it?" Kellin stopped talking, trying to catch the music on his camera. "They woke me up and now I'll be grumpy all day. Didn't sleep 'til three this morning editing yesterday's video and uploading it. Anyways, lets go see what they're doing. Maybe they've made me breakfast as a peace offering or something." Kellin walked out of his room and towards the kitchen. "Good morning my sluts!"

"Hey babe." Alan said as he watched Kellin walk in with the camera pointed at him. "What's today's vlog about?"

"How you and Austin woke me up with this noise."

"There's food on the stove if you want any."

Kellin turned the camera towards himself and said, "This is why I love living with Cashby." Kellin set the camera down, and began serving himself some bacon and eggs. "Where's Aus?" Kellin asked, biting off some bacon.

"Helping our new neighbors move in."

"We have new neighbors? Thank god! Those other ones were so rude; fucking like dogs and not even trying to be quiet about it." Alan only laughed, while shaking his head. "Anyways, who are they have you met them?"

"I have."

"And?"

"Two of the four guys freaked a bit."

"Why?"

"Because they recognized me and Aus from your videos."

"They've seen my videos?" Kellin asked shocked. He had a few million subscribers and he didn't like to flaunt it but he never thought he'd live next door to them. "Can we go over please? I want to meet them!"

"Once you shower and brush your teeth we can go."

"Fine mom." Kellin groaned. He abandoned his half eaten plate and went to his room to get ready.

"Hey guys," Alan whispered to the camera as he picked it up. "So Kellin doesn't know that the guys who live next door is actually Pierce the Veil. I think one of you guys told him to check them out and ever since then, he's been in love with them. It was cute until he started over playing them."

"Alan!" Kellin shouted from his room, "Do you have my camera?"

"Yes!" Alan shouted back.

"Wanna give it to me?"

"No. we don't need your ass to be shown on camera again!"

"One time!"

Alan just laughed as heard a door slam shut. "Sorry Kells," he said to the camera. "But it's for the viewers safety."

After an hour, Kellin was done and Alan had fallen asleep on the couch.

Kellin picked up his camera, turning it on and hiding behind the couch making sure it pointed at Alan. "Alright guys," he whispered, "Here we have a wild, sleeping ginger." He turned the camera to himself. "I've, on many occasions, encountered his wild species. Waking it up can mean death, if not handled with care."

"I won't handle you with care if you keep talking." Kellin fell back in shock, dropping his camera too. Alan stared down at him. "Have you finished?"

"Yes, sorry." Before they can say anymore, there's a knock on the door. "Are you expecting anyone?" Kellin asked as he stood up. He bent down and picked up the camera, making sure it wasn't too badly bumped.

"No and I guess you aren't either. maybe it's Austin." Alan opened the door and was met with Papa Johns delivery guy. "Um, hi."

"Is this apartment number 503?"

"Yes." Alan could hear Kellin in the kitchen, talking about the mysterious delivery.

"I was sent here to give you this."

"Ok, how much is it?"

"It's already paid for by a mister Carlile."

"Oh! Ok then at least let me tip you." Alan took the boxes and set them down on the table in the hallway before grabbing a five dollar bill and giving it to the guy. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, have a great afternoon."

"You too." Alan took the boxes into the kitchen, swatting Kellin's hand as he tried to open them.

"Alan, can I have your boyfriend? He has pizza delivered to you. If that's not love then I don't know what is."

"No, you cant but why would he have so much pizza sent here?"

"Its only seven boxes." Alan just shook his head. "What? Do you think he's throwing a small party? Do I have to hide my millions of dildos?"

"I think I know what's going on. Have you seen my phone?"

"Yeah on the coffee table."

"Don't touch anything!" Alan shouted as he walked into the living room.

"I'm moving out." Kellin groaned. "Any of you guys have food, Wi-Fi and space?" a few minutes later, Alan walked back. "So?"

"We need to clean real quick. Aus is bringing home guests."

"I thought he was next door?"

"They went for sodas, chips and beer."

Kellin set his camera at the right angle and faced Alan. "Let the cleaning montage begin."

As the cleaned, they would occasionally walk in front of the camera, showing different items and goofing off. When the kitchen was done, they moved over to the living room, doing the same thing and then going to the bathroom, repeating the whole thing.

"We're done!" Alan cheered. Just then, the noise of the door opening caused both men to look up. "They're here." Alan whispered.

Kellin picked his camera and followed Alan to the door. "Guys I'm meeting our neighbors for the first time. Do you think they'd be ok with my filming them?" he asked Alan, mentally noting himself to edit that bit out.

"I don't know. Just keep the camera down then ask them. Ready?"

Kellin nodded.

Alan opened the door.

Austin walked in.

"You're our neighbors?" Kellin shouted.
