SCENE 12

HARRY is gone and it's a couple of days later. LOUIS sits at the desk in his bedroom with his laptop open in front of him. A loading screen is open on the YouTube website. The video with HARRY and LOUIS' Q and A is loading as it's nearly ready to go live.

Harry_Styles: Tell me as soon as it goes live. I want to be the first person to like it.

LouisssT: maybe i just make u wait a bit ;)

Harry_Styles: You're evil. I have notifications on anyway and I'm refreshing constantly. Nobody is going to beat me to it.

LouisssT: we'll see about that

LOUIS smiles as the video goes live. He watches it for a moment before refreshing the screen. Sure enough, the video already has a 'like' and a couple of comments from HARRY. The title of the video reads: Q and A with HARRY STYLES. The video's a little shy of 15 minutes long, which is longer than any video LOUIS has ever uploaded before.

(LIAM enters)

LIAM

You filmed a video with Harry Styles and didn't think to tell me first!

(LOUIS shrugs lazily and watches as the views start to climb on his video)

(LIAM collapses on LOUIS' bed as the video LOUIS uploaded starts to play from his phone. LOUIS' laughter bleeds from the phone followed by a couple of words from HARRY.)

LOUIS

(huffing) Well, it's not like you believed me from the beginning.

LIAM

Okay, but I believed you as soon as Harry Styles walked into our house! As your best friend, I think I deserve a little bit of a heads up before you go around posting videos with Harry Styles! Like... it's Harry Styles we're talking about here!

LOUIS

I know who we're talking about, alright? Look, Liam, it's seriously not that big of a deal.

LIAM

(LIAM impersonates LOUIS) It's that big of a deal. (back to himself) What do you mean it's not that of a deal. It's Harry Styles.

(LOUIS just shrugs as he clicks out of YouTube and switches over to Twitter for Desktop. As soon as the page loads a new tweet from HARRY sits at the top of his screen.)

Harry. @Harry_Styles

Filmed a video with @MasterfromDoncaster on YouTube. Check it out.

(A hyperlink stands in blue right below the tweet in a reply by HARRY. Already, the tweet has tons of likes and retweets.)

LIAM

(from off-screen) Louis, you're trending!

(LIAM runs into LOUIS' room. His phone is being held high above his head as he rushes in. LOUIS quickly clicks to the trending page on his computer, curious to see what everyone is saying.)

LOUIS

You're joking, right?

(as LOUIS clicks on the trends for the day.)

(LOUIS eyes widen as he sees the hashtag trending. He thought, at first, that the hashtag would be about him, but he's not disappointed. The hashtag is about his video.)

LIAM

I mean it's not exactly you, but it is your video. The video leads to you.

LOUIS

(still excited) I can't believe this.

(LOUIS glances back at his phone and picks it up to text HARRY.)

LouisssT: we're on the trending page

LouisssT: technically u are but its about the vid

LouisssT: this is mad!!!

(HARRY doesn't respond immediately, so LOUIS focuses his attention back on the computer screen.)

LIAM

(baffled) This is mad, Louis! Have you read some of the tweets?

(LOUIS starts to read some of the tweets to himself quietly. The tweets are below.)

Renea @MissReneaStylinson

#HarryStylesQandA This is INSANE! HARRY did a Q and A? Both of them are SOOO hot! I'm shaking.

IV @YoursSincerelyIV

How come I'm never heard of Louis before? Are they friends? What's the tea? I'm SO CONFUSED! I need more. #HarryStylesQandA

Kara94 @Kara94

Did anyone else notice how close they seem to be? Their friendship is so cute!! How come he's never been on the show? #HarryStylesQandA

I LOVE YOU @Its-the-family-show

How did Louis get the collab anyway? They must've known each other before? #HarryStylesQandA

(LOUIS can't stop smiling as he sees all the supportive tweets. He likes a few before he gets a message back from HARRY.)

Harry_Styles: I saw! I'm so happy for you, it's what you deserve. You're an amazing creator and I'm so happy that you allowed me to be apart of your growth. I can't wait to see where you take it. x

LouisssT: harry of course i want you to be a part of my channel and stuff. youre gonna make me blush

Harry_Styles: Haha. I love making you blush.

LouisssT: couldnt have done it without you :)

END SCENE

Hey guys! I'm super sorry for the late update! Also: a bit of a heads up, I'm going to be out of state for a week. I won't have access to my computer, so it's going to make updates for this book very difficult. I don't know how many of you have updated books from your phone, but it's super difficult to do all the bolding, centering, italics and what not. I'm going to try but I just ask that you don't get too crazy if I miss the next Wednesday update. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! ~B
