I had only brought one workout outfit just in case I went to the gym but this would be a good excuse to get some new ones. I changed into the grey and black leggings, threw on my sports bra, and a lose tank over it. I laid back in my bed after I pulled my short brown hair into a small ponytail and just browsed on my phone until I heard movement downstairs. I went down and saw Phil making cereal in his pjs./p

"Look at that. It sure does." I laughed and then took the bowl from him. He grabbed a few spoons and gave one to me. I started to eat and then Dan came down in his joggers, a tight grey top and some trainers. Phil immediately switched places with him to change. After I finished my cereal, I set it in the sink and then Phil came jumping down the stairs in his shorts, jumper, and trainers. He finished his cereal and so did Dan. I grabbed a thin jacket and put on my trainers. Dan put on his jacket as well and I decided to vlog before we left the house./p

So we have decided that this week we're going to be running in the morning so this morning we got up, had some cereal, and now we're about to head out. Wish us luck," I said, laughing, and then pointed the camera to Dan who just gave me a thumbs up and an awkward grin. I shut the camera down and then Phil kept yelling that it was time to leave. I followed them out of the house./p

They're pretty awful, but they are the reason Phil and I aren't 500 pounds." I laughed and the three of us walked down to the local park which was only like ten minutes away. They pointed out the little track around it and told me that they run it twice before heading back home. I nodded my head, but was ready to just go home and eat more pizza and chips on the couch. We began to jog a little to start us off./p

Dan and I were following Phil mostly who was in better shape or just faster. The rest of the run no one talked and by the time we got back around for the second time, we were all panting and sweating like pigs. Thankfully today is quite chilly so it wasn't excruciating. I hated running with every fiber of my body but I always felt good after. We went to the park's restroom and I washed my face. Afterwards, we went back home as fast as we could and then made the horrible climb up to their flat./p

The boys proceeded to go up to their rooms. "I'm going to take a shower and get changed." I turned off the camera and followed the boys./p

I said and Dan showed me the shower. I grabbed my stuff and went in. Afterwards, I got changed and then brushed out my hair on my bed while Phil took my place. I shook it out and then decided to blow dry it in my room. After I was done, I proceeded to curl it and then I put on my makeup. When I was ready for the day, I went out and found two lazy boys just sat on the couch with their laptops./p

We ordered our food and Phil ended up getting a burger with a soda. Phil didn't say much all throughout lunch. I started to think that maybe he might actually be mad at something. I felt bad not knowing what upset him. Maybe he wanted to share with Dan or something. During lunch, I began to browse my Twitter. I saw a lot of cute edits of Dan and me, so I began to vlog some. It felt weird to look at them, but I showed a few to Dan who proceeded to awe at some and laugh at others./p

The things my subscribers make, man. They can either be hilarious or just terrifying. I love it," he said to the camera and I laughed. I turned it back on myself./p

Thanks so much. I love seeing stuff like this. It's super cute," I said. I turned the camera back off and finished eating. When we went back outside, it got really chilly all of a sudden. I started to rub my arms to warm them up./p

Dan asked, looking over at me. Phil was still being a grump and looking at the cars passing by./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #555555;" data-p-id="e7ee110bf4b8cde1bfada9ac31a9206e""Uh, kinda, but I'll be fine."/p

Our flat isn't that much further," he said and handed me his coat. It was completely black and kind of looked like something a Ringwraith from Lord of the Rings would wear. I put it on and it was surprisingly cozy, but maybe that was just because he was wearing it two seconds ago. It also smelled of his cologne which was nice. We soon got back home and I gave Dan his coat back. We ended up playing video games, taking turns between playing Mario Kart and watching while answering emails. Phil got back into a little bit of a better mood when Dan lost a round and me and him got to play on the Animal Crossing cup. I ended up getting so hardcore with it that I almost knocked him off the beanbag and we were just laughing the next few minutes. After we all finished whatever work we had, Dan reminded us that we had to order the shopping before it got too late. I had forgotten all about making them a healthy dinner and decided to help them pick out food instead. We planned out the dinners we wanted for the week and then they ordered the rest of the things they needed anyway while I searched their fridge for a meal. They did end up having ingredients to make some French Toast. It probably wasn't the healthiest but whatever. I had them come into the kitchen to help me once they were finished. I decided to make the French Toast into like a French Toast casserole thing instead. They came in and stood to the side. I had them show me how to use the oven and I preheated it to 170. I helped them find their baking dish and then started to prep the meal. I took out my camera and had Dan vlog me. I showed them how I whipped up a mixture of eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Then I laid the pieces of bread in the tray, drizzling half of my mixture on top. Then I added another layer of bread and drizzled over the rest. I then put it in the oven for 45 minutes and turned off my camera./p

I said and went back to my room. Before I left the kitchen, the buzzer went off and I said, "Just take it out and you can eat without me." I ran up to my room and shut the door. I was so out of myself, memories flooding back into my mind. I wrapped myself in the blanket, cutting myself off from the world. I was breathing hard, the oxygen not even seeming to get to my lungs. I was crying and sobbing so much I hardly realised how hard I was grabbing onto the blanket. I was trying so hard to just pull myself back to reality but I couldn't. I actually wanted to be there. I never wanted to feel anything ever again. I wanted to smother myself in the pillow until I couldn't remember anything ever again. I just cried until I fell alseep. An hour later, I woke up and I went to look at myself in the mirror. My makeup was smeared down my face and I had to wipe it all off just to look decent. I looked so tired and just generally awful. I grabbed a large jumper and put it on. The sleeves came down past my hand and I just snuggled in it. I grabbed my vlogging camera, knowing it would help to calm me down./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #555555;" data-p-id="6ee2b0442c7096d3e2d95ec4eb659ac9"I said softly, "So, it's about quarter to nine now. We did finish the french toast thing but before I could eat it, I kind of started to feel really bad and freaked out. I fell asleep and just woke up a few minutes ago. I wanted to take this time just to fill you in and also talk to you a little too. I know I've heard from some people that they do have things like anxiety and depression and all that and I wanted to say that even though sometimes you may be having a great day and then all of a sudden you fall into a slump, that it is okay. It's okay to be sad and feel awful sometimes but the most important thing is to get back up and try to have a day. Not a good day, but just a day because that sometimes is all you can do. I don't want you to give up. I want you to stay strong because you deserve to be here. I'm going to go back downstairs and eat that breakfast-dinner because I am so hungry now," I said and turned it off. I went to my Twitter and left a nice message as well. I left my phone in my room and went downstairs with my camera./p

I can't wait to eat it then." I went over into the kitchen and grabbed a plate of it. I vlogged the dish and how good it looked. I then proceeded to take a bite on camera also and say how yummy it tasted. This meal certainly was just what I needed. They had left the syrup out for me and I drizzled a lot of syrup on top as well. I went back into the living room and sat with them, eating my meal. They had an anime on and they we're both messing around on their laptops. Phil looked over at me once I sat down and gave me a comforting smile. After I finished eating, I decided to just go back upstairs and hang out in my room. As soon as I went up and settled in, Phil came knocking at my door./p

"Hey, I'm just here with Phil and I'm about to head off to bed so I'd like to say good night and thank you for watching. Give this video a thumbs up and I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight," I said and I gave the camera an air kiss./p

He gave me a hug and said goodnight before leaving my room. I quickly downloaded my videos and then shut everything off before going to bed. I guess I really was tired as I knocked out almost right away./p

That's why we don't really go out running all that much but I think we should start doing it everyday," he told me./p

I suddenly felt really awkward and turned my head away./p

"We do need to get going soon if we wanna beat the crowds."/p

After pouring the cereal, he opened the fridge and I saw he had almond milk in there. "Hey, can you pour me some almond milk in mine instead?"/p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #555555;" data-p-id="9e4e1ec39afa0f7bdc069d16ee0fa765""Yeah. Sure." He began to pour the milk./p

"Look at that. It sure does." I laughed and then took the bowl from him. He grabbed a few spoons and gave one to me. I started to eat and then Dan came down in his joggers, a tight grey top and some trainers. Phil immediately switched places with him to change. After I finished my cereal, I set it in the sink and then Phil came jumping down the stairs in his shorts, jumper, and trainers. He finished his cereal and so did Dan. I grabbed a thin jacket and put on my trainers. Dan put on his jacket as well and I decided to vlog before we left the house./p

So we have decided that this week we're going to be running in the morning so this morning we got up, had some cereal, and now we're about to head out. Wish us luck," I said, laughing, and then pointed the camera to Dan who just gave me a thumbs up and an awkward grin. I shut the camera down and then Phil kept yelling that it was time to leave. I followed them out of the house./p

They're pretty awful, but they are the reason Phil and I aren't 500 pounds." I laughed and the three of us walked down to the local park which was only like ten minutes away. They pointed out the little track around it and told me that they run it twice before heading back home. I nodded my head, but was ready to just go home and eat more pizza and chips on the couch. We began to jog a little to start us off./p

"I only do it to keep Phil happy and, you know, it's sorta healthy."/p

Dan and I were following Phil mostly who was in better shape or just faster. The rest of the run no one talked and by the time we got back around for the second time, we were all panting and sweating like pigs. Thankfully today is quite chilly so it wasn't excruciating. I hated running with every fiber of my body but I always felt good after. We went to the park's restroom and I washed my face. Afterwards, we went back home as fast as we could and then made the horrible climb up to their flat./p

The boys proceeded to go up to their rooms. "I'm going to take a shower and get changed." I turned off the camera and followed the boys./p

I said and Dan showed me the shower. I grabbed my stuff and went in. Afterwards, I got changed and then brushed out my hair on my bed while Phil took my place. I shook it out and then decided to blow dry it in my room. After I was done, I proceeded to curl it and then I put on my makeup. When I was ready for the day, I went out and found two lazy boys just sat on the couch with their laptops./p

"Have you seen this video of the lizard discovering peanut butter?" We continued on in conversation till lunch came around. They hardly had anything in the fridge so we went out again. We went to a small café down the street. Neither of them had been there so we we're all trying it for the first time./p

We ordered our food and Phil ended up getting a burger with a soda. Phil didn't say much all throughout lunch. I started to think that maybe he might actually be mad at something. I felt bad not knowing what upset him. Maybe he wanted to share with Dan or something. During lunch, I began to browse my Twitter. I saw a lot of cute edits of Dan and me, so I began to vlog some. It felt weird to look at them, but I showed a few to Dan who proceeded to awe at some and laugh at others./p

Thanks so much. I love seeing stuff like this. It's super cute," I said. I turned the camera back off and finished eating. When we went back outside, it got really chilly all of a sudden. I started to rub my arms to warm them up./p

Dan asked, looking over at me. Phil was still being a grump and looking at the cars passing by./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #555555;" data-p-id="e7ee110bf4b8cde1bfada9ac31a9206e""Uh, kinda, but I'll be fine."/p

Our flat isn't that much further," he said and handed me his coat. It was completely black and kind of looked like something a Ringwraith from Lord of the Rings would wear. I put it on and it was surprisingly cozy, but maybe that was just because he was wearing it two seconds ago. It also smelled of his cologne which was nice. We soon got back home and I gave Dan his coat back. We ended up playing video games, taking turns between playing Mario Kart and watching while answering emails. Phil got back into a little bit of a better mood when Dan lost a round and me and him got to play on the Animal Crossing cup. I ended up getting so hardcore with it that I almost knocked him off the beanbag and we were just laughing the next few minutes. After we all finished whatever work we had, Dan reminded us that we had to order the shopping before it got too late. I had forgotten all about making them a healthy dinner and decided to help them pick out food instead. We planned out the dinners we wanted for the week and then they ordered the rest of the things they needed anyway while I searched their fridge for a meal. They did end up having ingredients to make some French Toast. It probably wasn't the healthiest but whatever. I had them come into the kitchen to help me once they were finished. I decided to make the French Toast into like a French Toast casserole thing instead. They came in and stood to the side. I had them show me how to use the oven and I preheated it to 170. I helped them find their baking dish and then started to prep the meal. I took out my camera and had Dan vlog me. I showed them how I whipped up a mixture of eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Then I laid the pieces of bread in the tray, drizzling half of my mixture on top. Then I added another layer of bread and drizzled over the rest. I then put it in the oven for 45 minutes and turned off my camera./p

I said and went back to my room. Before I left the kitchen, the buzzer went off and I said, "Just take it out and you can eat without me." I ran up to my room and shut the door. I was so out of myself, memories flooding back into my mind. I wrapped myself in the blanket, cutting myself off from the world. I was breathing hard, the oxygen not even seeming to get to my lungs. I was crying and sobbing so much I hardly realised how hard I was grabbing onto the blanket. I was trying so hard to just pull myself back to reality but I couldn't. I actually wanted to be there. I never wanted to feel anything ever again. I wanted to smother myself in the pillow until I couldn't remember anything ever again. I just cried until I fell alseep. An hour later, I woke up and I went to look at myself in the mirror. My makeup was smeared down my face and I had to wipe it all off just to look decent. I looked so tired and just generally awful. I grabbed a large jumper and put it on. The sleeves came down past my hand and I just snuggled in it. I grabbed my vlogging camera, knowing it would help to calm me down./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px; color: #555555;" data-p-id="6ee2b0442c7096d3e2d95ec4eb659ac9"I said softly, "So, it's about quarter to nine now. We did finish the french toast thing but before I could eat it, I kind of started to feel really bad and freaked out. I fell asleep and just woke up a few minutes ago. I wanted to take this time just to fill you in and also talk to you a little too. I know I've heard from some people that they do have things like anxiety and depression and all that and I wanted to say that even though sometimes you may be having a great day and then all of a sudden you fall into a slump, that it is okay. It's okay to be sad and feel awful sometimes but the most important thing is to get back up and try to have a day. Not a good day, but just a day because that sometimes is all you can do. I don't want you to give up. I want you to stay strong because you deserve to be here. I'm going to go back downstairs and eat that breakfast-dinner because I am so hungry now," I said and turned it off. I went to my Twitter and left a nice message as well. I left my phone in my room and went downstairs with my camera./p

I can't wait to eat it then." I went over into the kitchen and grabbed a plate of it. I vlogged the dish and how good it looked. I then proceeded to take a bite on camera also and say how yummy it tasted. This meal certainly was just what I needed. They had left the syrup out for me and I drizzled a lot of syrup on top as well. I went back into the living room and sat with them, eating my meal. They had an anime on and they we're both messing around on their laptops. Phil looked over at me once I sat down and gave me a comforting smile. After I finished eating, I decided to just go back upstairs and hang out in my room. As soon as I went up and settled in, Phil came knocking at my door./p

It's kind of creepy," I said, laughing./p

"I'm just used to speaking for Dan and myself. Well, I love you being here." I started to blush. Maybe he should continue to say "we." Without it, everything sounded very personal and made me feel all tingly./p

I turned on my camera and pointed it at the two of us. Thankfully, he was sitting in the chair below me and I was on the desk because otherwise he'd be too tall for us both to be in frame./p

"Hey, I'm just here with Phil and I'm about to head off to bed so I'd like to say good night and thank you for watching. Give this video a thumbs up and I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight," I said and I gave the camera an air kiss./p

"That was good."/p

He gave me a hug and said goodnight before leaving my room. I quickly downloaded my videos and then shut everything off before going to bed. I guess I really was tired as I knocked out almost right away./p
