(Age - 14)

You slammed the lid of your laptop shut, biting down on your trembling bottom lip as you tried not to cry.

You'd recently decided to follow in your brother's footsteps and start your own YouTube channel. You just posted your first video a few days ago and you'd decided to look at the comments. Bad idea. Sure, there were some nice ones, but all you could seem to focus on was the hate.

'Wow. Dan is definitely the better looking sibling.'

'She only has subscribers because of Dan. I mean why else would anyone want to watch an ugly cow like her?'

'You're so fat. No one likes you bitch.'

Those were only a few of the horrid comments.

You knew you shouldn't let it get to you, but you couldn't help it. The words cut like knives. Tears blurred your vision as you thought about what people were saying and you let out a sob. Much to your unluckiness (pretty sure that's not even an expression but oh well😂), Dan just so happened to be walking past your room at that very moment and heard the sob through your wooden door.

"Y/N?" He knocked on your door but didn't wait for you to tell him to come in and just walked straight in anyway. In his defence, he'd just heard you crying and needed to make sure you were okay. You were not okay. As soon as you made eye contact with Dan, you crumbled. You broke down crying, pulling your knees to your chest as Dan rushed over to you.

"Hey, hey, don't cry," He sat next to you on your bed and pulled you in for a hug, "What's wrong, love?"

You didn't speak, you just pointed to your laptop. Dan opened it and since it was on the same page as before, he saw all those nasty comments.

"Y/N..." He trailed off, looking at you with sad eyes.

"B-before you say anything, I-I know... You... You warned me about get-getting hate before I posted the video b-but... But I thought I could handle it." You said, trying to hold in sobs. Your voice died out towards the end as you felt that feeling crawl back up your throat. Fresh tears prickled your eyes and you buried your face in your hands, sobs racking your body once again.

"Hey, shh, it's okay." Dan wrapped his arms around you protectively, pulling you into his warm, loving embrace as he softly whispered to you, "You're okay, calm down."

"How will I ever survive on YouTube if some stupid comments effect me so much?" You mumbled once you'd calmed down a bit, your head still resting against your big brother's chest.

"You just have to learn to deal with them. I'll help you, and so will Phil." He promised you.

"Thank you." You said.

"Don't mention it, love." He replied, kissing your forehead.

Ok, so, this wasn't requested I just thought of it and thought it was pretty cute. I might've gotten a little carried away and sorry that the ending sucked, but other than that, I hope you guys enjoyed! 💞
