Chapter 1060 - 1056: ERIKA AND RAINE – TRUE FANS 2
For years, she has hidden from her sister, feeling frustrated and was afraid that by exposing her sister the family’s harmony would be shattered and she would be the one to be blamed. However, she met Diamond and it was all thanks to Raine, the friend who was older than her by two years.
After Raine came across Diamond, she became interested and shared about Diamond to her. When Erika first started watching Diamond, she was amazed by how bold and brazen she was. She feared no one and anyone who tramples with her happiness and dignity she didn’t mind dealing with them.
Living such a life made her feel envious and after watching her several more times, she finally found guts to send all the evidence she had been keeping of her sister to her parents and the matter simply blew up.
Her sister was angry and even yelled at her parents, accusing them of showing favor and being biased.
She wasn’t able to finish school so why should Erika have the same privilege?
It just didn’t make sense but since everyone in the family knew of the matter, the heavy burden on her shoulder was finally removed. Whatever problems her sister causes now, let the others deal with her. If she ever comes to her for trouble, she wouldn’t show any mercy.
She found such peace through Diamond and kindred spirits in the small groups created making her have a lot of online friends who share the same passion as her.
Her life naturally became fruitful and flavorful.
How could she not like Diamond and support her fully?
She was quite proficient in editing. It was because of these skills that she was able to save a lot of money which was helpful in her university days. Without such skills, it would have been impossible to study with her sister breathing down her neck.
Thanks to these skills, her posts just like Raine who was a professional in this matter always gained a lot of attention, and that’s how the two of them managed to climb the fan ladder so fast.
Once she was home, she didn’t waste time and started editing her photos diligently.
Meanwhile, on Raine’s side, her story wasn’t exactly like Erika but had similarities with Diamond.
She has always loved computers from a young age. She wasn’t really a chatty person but loved to keep it to herself most of the time.
As a result, she grew up more of a nerd and her family had no problems with that. After all, there was nothing wrong with loving something. People are born different and they always encouraged her to follow her heart and do what pleases her.
However, just because her family was cool with it, didn’t mean that others felt the same.
Her relatives would speak ill about her, compare her to others and when she was around twenty-one and without a single boyfriend, the talks were even serious.
They made it seem like she was cursed and wasn’t attractive to men. That was a complete insult and it made her question herself and doubt herself.
However, she forgot that when other girls were busy looking for love and men, she wasn’t bothered much about it and focused on her studies, and didn’t dress much.
As long as she was determined, she would find any guy she wanted and have a relationship with him. She was panicked and entered a self-doubt journey until one day she was approached by a senior who was so persistent in pursuing her. After being pursued for more than a semester, she caved in and started dating this senior.
Never have been in love, how could she have noticed that something was wrong from the beginning?
As a result, when this so-called boyfriend of hers started to try to enter her skirt and she adamantly refused, remembering how her mother always emphasized on how a woman shouldn’t give herself easily to a man finally witnessed the kind of man that pursued her.
He scolded her, called her names that made her feel very small. He made her feel as if she was unworthy and she was so depressed even after breaking up.
It was by the deity’s grace that she managed to graduate. She stayed clear from men and kept to herself. Somehow in her small friends’ group, she accidentally met Erika and clicked. While they were sharing their problems and comforting each other, she came across the video of when Diamond was talking about her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. How firm and determined she was not to allow such a past and experience to stop her from living her life.
She wasted years wallowing in grief and nearly losing herself because of betrayal. She wasn’t going to let that past determine her future ever again. Those words gave her strength and made her determined to change herself.
It was never her fault. He wanted to use her and when she sticked with her principles, he flipped and spoke ill of her. What did she do wrong?
The moment she let that realization sink, she felt so good and free. She decided to show Erika about Diamond and the two friends became hooked. After many months of stanning, they finally met their idol. Raine was so happy and when she was at home, using her professional skills, as someone who understand computers pretty much and editing being one of the main streams of income that supplements her lifestyle started to edit her videos as well.
Her GEM account as well as others has a lot of followers and subscribers who comes for her work. When she thought about how the JEWELS would go crazy after seeing the pictures with the brother-in-law in it, her fingers flew on the keyboard as the work came into life.
The two friends in different places had no idea that on this day, their lives were about to take a wonderful turn and one day they would look back to this day and smile, feeling grateful that they decided to go around shopping and unknowingly came across Diamond and Gael.
It was going to be a good memory.
