Counting On Twitter [Joe Sugg] (Sequel to COYT)

Chapter Nine

Skylar's POV

"Tanya? Lousie?" I asked.

Tanya nods and tells me to get into the back. I obey and get in behind Tanya.

"What were you doing out here? It doesn't matter, really. We were just about to go to Zoe's flat."

"No, please. If you are then just drop me off right here." I said with a soft, sorrow smile.

"What's wrong, Skylar?" Louise asked.

"Did you guys know? About...them keeping secrets from me."

Louise sighed and shook her head. "Zoe said she had a secret that she was keeping from you. I just didn't know what it was. She wouldn't tell me."

"Her and Alfie aren't engaged. He's dating Abby."

"Your American friend?" Tanya asked and I nodded.

"Yes. Why wouldn't she tell you, Louise? Aren't you guys-"

"Best friends? No. She treats you more of a friend than me..." Louise trails off.

Then I realized it. Did I steel Louise's best friend. Surely that isn't true because I talked to Zoe exactly 3 weeks in total. And Louise and Zoe have been talking for years now.

"Oh, Louise I'm sorry. I didn't realize that I stole your best friend from you." I hugged her from behind the passenger seat and sighed.

Then, I heard a phone ring. I got my phone out to see if it was me. I then saw I had 16 missed calls, 6 people each texted me a total of 86 texts. I still had about a thousand Twitter mentions because of the last tweet.

It took me a while to see that it was Louise's phone.

"It's Zoe." Louise said in a hushed tone. I sighed and nodded, giving her approval to answer it. "But don't mention that I'm with you." I whispered.

Louise nodded and pushed the green phone button.

(Phone call:)

Louise: Hello?

Zoe: Louise! Have you seen Skylar on the way over here? I'm worried about her...

Louise: No, I haven't seen her. But Tan and I are heading to your place now.

Zoe: *sigh* Okay. See you!

Louise: Bye Chummy!

Zoe: Bye Louise.

(Hang up)

"Wow. She didn't call me chummy..." Louise started.

"You guys aren't taking me there are you?" I asked.

Tanya nodded. "You need to talk to them."

"No. I don't want to talk to them. They've been lying to me. For a whole ten months!"

"It's just about the engagement, Skylar. Please calm down." Tan begged.

"No. They've been lying to me about everything. Alfie isn't my cousin. Connor's my brother for God's sake! I don't even know if Luke and Carter are my real brothers and Connor is one of my brothers or if Carter and Luke aren't even related to me and Connor's my brother."

Louise and Tanya sat there in shock.

"Bye guys." I said as I closed the car door.

I ran and ran. I didn't want to talk to either Zoe, Alfie, Connor, Joe, Caspar, or even Finn, Luke, and the guys.

And that's what I did.

***5 months later***

I'm at home! In my normal house with Luke and Jen. Not my actual house with Luke or Abby.

I've avoided contact with everyone. Zoe, Alfie, Caspar, Connor, Luke (Hemmings), Abby, Finn, and even Louise and Tanya.

I reread the email that I got last month over and over.

Hello Skylar Matthews!

This is the YouTube committee and we cordially invite you to VidCon 2015!

Hope to see you there!

The YouTube Committee and Anaheim Convention Center

I smile and looked at the calendar.

I grabbed my phone and sent out my first tweet I had sent in ages.

@skylarmatthews: Heading to the airport to go to California for VidCon 2015! I hope to see some of you there! #VidCon #Excited

VidCon 2015 starts in 3 days. I'm finished packing. I just need to get my plane ticket and head on over to California.

I get my plane ticket online and zip my luggage up.

"Here we go." I said to myself as I walked out of the door.

I started my car and started driving to the airport.

I haven't been to California since last year when I visited my "moms" death grave. Luke and I were going to visit in April but we decided not to because Carter wasn't going. He's been really distant from Luke and I.

Before I even knew it, I was driving into the airport parking lot.

I got out of my car and was greeted by a bunch of people.

"Omg its Skylar Matthews!"

"I love you Sky!"

"Where's Joe?"

"Can I get a picture?"

I smiled and took a picture with everyone.

I gave my plane ticket to the lady and took off my coat and my bracelet. It's weird that they make you do this, isn't it?

-On The Plane-

I found my seat by an elderly woman and a small girl who looked about 13 years old.

"Oh my god. Hello. My names Megan. I'm a huge fan!" The 13 year old yelled. "I can't believe I get to sit by the Skylar Matthews on a 10 hour flight!"

I smiled. "Aww. Thank you so much. That means a lot."

"Your really pretty. Where's Joe?"

"We've been having problems."

"Oh. It's okay. I won't say anything."

About three hours into the flight, the girl was asleep on my arm. She told me that she was flying alone to live with her grandma in America.

I smiled and finally thought about the subject I wasn't expecting for about five more years.

Wouldn't it be nice to have kids?
