ONE MONTH LATER

"Are you ready honey?" Dan puts his hand on my back, "Yep, let's go in." I say and we walk into the party, where Dan's YouTube friends were meeting up.

"Phil! Hey!" I spot him as we walk in and he walks over and hugs me, "Hey Emily." "Em, i'm just going to go say to Peej, be back in a minute." Dan says.

"How are you?" i ask Phil, as we get a drink from the table next to us. "I'm pretty good thanks, it's good catching up with everyone here. I'll introduce you to some people if you like?" He offers, "Thanks, that would be great Phil."

A girl with long brown hair walks past and Phil stops her, "Hey Zoe, this is Emily. Dan's girlfriend." She turns and smiles at me, "Oh hey Emily. I've been dying to meet you." "It's nice to meet you too Zoe, do you make videos as well?" "Yep, i do make up, hauls and every day vlogs. Mainly juts messing around with my friends to be honest."

Another girl, slightly older than Zoe walks up, "Hey chummy, whose this?" "Louise, this is Dan's girlfriend Emily." Louise grins at me and hugs me, "Wow, it's so great to meet you at last! The mystery girl." "Didn't know i was a mystery." "Yep, Dan never told us about you." "Oh right, well here i am!" "I'm interested to know Emily, do you watch Dan's videos, or is it awkward?" Louise asks, pouring herself another drink. "I did when i first met him, but since we've been dating not really. He tells me about his plans for new videos, and i give him advice and stuff, but i don't actually watch them." "Yeah, i find it weird when i watch Alfie now and i could never watch myself!" Zoe says, and she and Louise laugh.

I talk to Zoe and Louise for a little while longer, and we actually switch numbers and make plans to meet up for coffee later in the week.

"Having fun?" Dan asks, appearing by my side. "Yep, where did you go?" "Sorry, i kept bumping into people and was catching up with them." "So how come you've been keeping me a secret, Louise said i was a mystery?" "What, oh i don't know. I thought we were keeping our relationship low key, don't want my fans stalking you." "No, i guess not."

We stay and talk to other people for a couple of hours, but at around half eleven me, Dan and Phil get a taxi back to their flat, where i was staying for the night. "That was a good party." Phil says, unlocking the door. "Yeah, it was good seeing everyone again." "Everyone was so nice." I add.

Later at night, me and Dan lie in bed, just staring up at the ceiling at talking, what we did a lot before going to sleep. "I've been thinking." Dan starts, "When i first met you, you told me that your job was only temporarily, but since we've been together you've never mentioned leaving your job. I know that you hate it, whenever anyone asks you how you are, your answer is always that you are stressed or tired out from work." I shuffle over in bed, to face Dan. "You're right Dan, i know. It's just i'm scared that i won't be able to get another job. And money is always a concern when you live on your own." He nods and pulls me close, "I think that life is way too short to stick at a job that you hate, you need to just do it and move on. And i know that Phil will agree with me when i say that if money was ever an issue, then you're more than welcome to move in here. Short or long term."

I sigh and think about it, why was i still at my job? My boring old dead end job.

"Ok, i'm going to quit." I say, scaring myself slightly as i say it out loud for the first time. Dan's eyes widen, "Really? You're going to do it?" "I'm going to do it. Tomorrow, i'll march in there and hand in my notice." I decide and smile to myself, imagining how it would feel to never have to work there again.

And that was exactly what i did, the next morning, me and Dan walked in to my boss' room and i gave him my one week's notice.

"I'm so proud of you." Dan says, squeezing my hand as we walk back onto the street, "Thank you Dan. Without you i would have never have done that. I feel so happy and free!" I laugh, spreading my arms out and looking up at the sky.

Dan laughs at me and puts his hands on my head and kisses me, "This is it Em, time to find you a job!" He says, stepping back. "Let's go!" I gold my hand out and he holds it, and swings it as we walk down the street.
