It was a Friday night and the rain had finally stopped pouring down. I lean across and switch the television off, God why isn't never anything good on? I pick up my phone and log on to YouTube, my eyes widen at the sight of a new Danisnotonfire video. I'd forgotten all about it, my mind occupied since the row this morning. I make myself more comfortable on the sofa as the video loads and Dan's friendly face pops up on my screen, talking about being ill.
Five minutes later and i am happy again, i hit the like button and jump as i hear the front door opening. He was back. "Grace?" His voice is hard and cold. "In here." I shout back, he walks over and enters the living room. "Look, i was a dick Grace, i'm so sorry." I sigh as he gets down on his knees, eye level with me. I look at him, wondering whether to forgive my boyfriend yet again. "Grace, please say something." He holds my hands. "Ok, Jason, this is your last chance, if i ever hear about you and Ellie again then it's over." He smiles and relaxes slightly, leaning forward to kiss me. I smile as he sits down next to me and turns the T.V. on. "Make us a brew, will you?" he says, flicking through the channels. I get up and tut as i walk over to our small kitchen.
Jason wasn't quite the perfect boyfriend but this was reality, i wasn't going to fall in love with Prince Charming and expect him to whisk me off to a palace. Well our small flat was a million miles away from a palace, just one bedroom and small bathroom. Our kitchen was joined to the living room which meant we had eat off our laps. Me and Jason had been going out since secondary school and we brought the flat after sixth form, with Jason working at a local office while i read books for a small publishers. We lived in London and our flat was in the grotty part, which was the only one we afford. We had lived here for about 6 months and i was pretty happy. Ok, Jason had cheated on me with my old bestfriend a couple of times but we had gotten over it, i just saw it as making our relationship stronger, nobody's perfect after all.
"Hurry up Grace." he shouts from the other room, i stir the tea and carry the cup back to him. "Here you go honey." I pass him the tea and he takes a sip, i sit down and bring my knees up to my stomach, it was getting cold. "Cold tonight." I comment, hoping that he will let me turn the heating on. "Get used to it Grace." He says blandly. I lean on him but he brushes me off. "I'm trying to watch this!" I sigh and get up, taking my phone with me.
I walk to our small crapped bedroom, in the which the bed takes up all the room. I sit down and go on twitter, reading everyone's thoughts on Dan's new video. I decide to tweet about it as well, knowing that it will just be one in a million Dan receives on a daily basis.
danisnotonfire great video Dan, know how you feel, i always get colds in the summer!
I press send and lock my phone, and take a shower to try to myself feel warmer. I wasn't the best in terms of looks. I had long brown hair which went slightly curly at the ends, my checks were dotted with freckles and one small black mark under my right eye that had always been there. I was an average height and quite slim, but Jason was very tall and muscular which made me look tiny when we went out anywhere.
I walk back in drying my hair on a towel, dressed in my favorite old pajamas, i log back on to twitter and drop my phone in sheer shock. Oh. My. God. Dan tweeted me! Me! I pick the phone back up, and read and re-read the tweet.
gracedarling oh no, we'll have to suffer together! us guys have to stick together!
I can not believe that my favourite ever YouTuber tweeted me! My life was now complete.
I rush to the living room and hold out my phone to Jason. "Jay, Dan tweeted me!" I shout, jumping up and down like a little girl. "What, who?" He says, slightly annoyed, looking at my phone. "Dan Howell. You know, Danisnotonfire. The YouTuber who i love." He raises his eyebrows and looks back to the T.V. I look at the tweet as i get in to bed, oh if only Dan knew how much he meant to me. Sometimes i think that he was the only thing that made me smile these days.
