It didn’t take long for people to start commenting about us on the vlog. Only twenty minutes passed by when I was curious enough to check what his fans were saying about us.
I sat at my desktop and clicked on the lazyvlog. The top comments almost made me shit my pants.
“Two things: 1. Toby scored 2. They’re totally banging” was the first. “Anyone else notice the lip gloss on Toby’s lips at 3:15? It’s the same as hers.” Was the second.
I gulped as I scrolled down to read more.
“Did you hear what she said at 1:00? She not only called him cute but said she was gonna ‘kill’ him. They’re a thing.”
“Who is this bitch dating my boyfriend?”
“Did you see Toby’s reaction after she said she was gonna kill him? IT WAS HILARIOUS. He was like, bitch shut up you might as well tell them we’re fucking.”
“Rain? What kind of name is that? Toby could do better…”
“I can’t see him with anybody but Justine..sorry Rain.” That comment made me perk up. Who’s Justine?
“Whatcha doin’?!” Toby said in my ear and made me jump three feet in the air.
“Jesus, Toby, don’t scare me like that!” I turned around and saw his beautiful face next to mine. He was eating something and tried not to spit it out as he laughed,
“Why you so jumpy?” he swallowed his food and gave me a peck on the cheek.
“No reason…” I said quickly scrolling up to the top of the page.
“What’s that?” he stopped me and read the top comments, “Uh oh….” Was all he said.
“They hate me…” I said quietly.
“No. No, they don’t hate you they’re just…just…they need to get to know you is all.” I could hear the uncertainty in his voice.
“Are you going to say anything about it?” I asked.
“No, I think we should just let them chill out and deal with it. I have a life too and I don’t need people criticizing who I’m with and telling me what I should do.” My eyes got wide at his tone of voice. He never talked about his Audience like this before.
“Calm down babe, they’re just being protective over you.” I was shocked at my own words; defending the people who were saying nasty things about me.
“Yeah…I guess. The same thing happened with other girls I’ve been with and it just annoys me. But don’t worry; I’m sure everyone will love you the more videos you’re in. Just don’t make any more subtle hints on us being a thing. It’ll just provoke them, ok?” he smiled at me.
“Okay.” I kissed him again.
He turned to leave when I grabbed his hand and looked at him, “One thing Toby…who’s Justine?”
Toby looked at me, and I could hear the gears working in his head.
“Just a friend. My best friend to be exact.”
I nodded, “Oh, ‘cause someone said that they liked Justine better.”
“Yeah, she used to be in a lot of my vlogs and people really liked her. She has her own Youtube channel, iJustine, if you wanna check her out. Now I gotta go babe, I’m workin’ on a video I made a couple days ago, I need to get it done or my fans are gonna eat me alive.”
I chuckled, “Okay have fun with that.”
I escorted him to the door and kissed him before he left. When I heard his car start up and back out of my driveway, I searched up iJustine. I clicked on her channel and almost had an aneurism. She was gorgeous, absolutely stunning. Just looking at her made me wanna jump off a bridge—how could Toby trade her for me? I shook my head, getting the thought of them actually dating out of my mind. He told me they were best friends and that they were in vlogs together; he didn’t say anything about them ever being a thing. Yet I was still disgusted by her beauty and somehow jealous of her.
I clicked on one of her videos titled “Dancing at the Apple Store” and saw her dancing like a crazy person in a phone store. I giggled and saw in the suggestion bar another dancing video that had Toby in the thumbnail. I clicked it and watched Toby set down his phone and start dancing next to Justine. No wonder they were best friends, they looked like they had a lot of fun being weird with each other.
That’s when the suggestion bar caught my attention again and I saw exactly how many vlogs she had been in. The whole bar was full of Toby and Justine videos. I read the titles which kind of bothered me. “Moving in with iJustine” “In Bed with iJustine” “Hot Aftermath” showing a thumbnail of them almost kissing; I gulped and looked at the dates, almost a year ago.
It made me feel better but I was afraid to read the comments from the vlog I was on, so I saved myself from complete destruction and exited out of Youtube.
I stood up and paced around the living room. So he had an ex-girlfriend, so what? I had ex-boyfriends that I was still friends with, so…so could he. Besides, he had asked me to be his current girlfriend and hadn't seemed hesitant to ask.
Yet somehow I was still bothered by her.
I was about to go into the kitchen and eat my feelings away when my phone rang.
“Hey hottie.” I greeted Toby, “What’s up?”
“It’s so weird, I just got a call from Justine and she said she wanted to hang out. I thought maybe it’d be cool if you gotta meet her.”
My stomach almost fell out my butt. “Oh…okay! You guys are friends so it’d only be polite to meet her.” I gulped, hoping he wouldn’t hear my pounding heart through the phone.
“Okay cool, tomorrow I’ll pick you up around noon and we can go have lunch.”
“Sounds okay to me!” I tried my best not to lie.
“Sweet, talk to you soon, love you.”
“Okay, can’t wait!” I failed. “Love you too, bye.”
We hung up and I almost smashed my phone against a wall. Why did she have to be perfect? I couldn’t get the thought of them together out of my mind, and that scared me.
