Hey once again! I'm at school, just been in ICT, in which my teacher said to my friends and I – 'Put a stripy sock in it you gabby gasbags!' - and before that I had Food Tech making Hot Cross Buns. Mmm, I love me some hot cross buns… I almost leaped on my teacher because I was so happy that she put syrup on the top of them… Mmm, I love me some syrup. Annnnyway, I'd like to thank all of you lovely Earthlings that like this, as I'm so happy. Okay, this is turning into a diary… or a counselling session… Same thing! ^_^ so I have twenty minutes to write now and the rest of the day to finish. I need to start writing now then. Okay… Get set… Go!
Josie's POV (don't worry I know you want my POV but I'll do that ASAP there'll be a short POV change)
This hall is huge, and yet beautiful. Hugely beautiful. Beautifully huge. Yeah, I just spend my time coming up with crap like that. My feet are aching, my head is pounding, and my heart is thudding. I can't bear to stand much longer before I:
a) Pass out and fall out of my group I have been put in.
b) Sit cross-legged on the floor, gaining my vision back, as being light-headed just makes your eyesight messed-up.
c) Both.
Yeah. I saw Amy walk into this room before; I know I saw her, as I waved at her but she was too busy staring at some awfully familiar guy. Yet now she seems to have disappeared like water vapour drifting into the air. I scan my surroundings, trying to take my mind off my dizziness. I look at this orange-tan colour marble, gawping at the beautiful female figures draped in gowns sliding off their shoulders carved into the stone. I feel like a cow. No, not in a bitchy way, like I'm a part of some cattle being herded through some sort of process. But you know what that means.
Cattle are only used for one thing. Slaughter.
I shudder as if somebody has walked over my grave, and a friendly face of a boy rests his fingertips on my shoulder. 'You alright?' he asks. 'Y-yeah,' I reply, not even looking at his face.
Before me is a blonde man, blue-green eyes, with the most lovely, kind, yet evil face before me. I back away from him, almost feeling his betrayal even before I knew him or had a chance to trust him. I have to get out of here. My claustrophobia is taking a toll on me. I sprint out of the room, which, although I have sprinted twice today, it's not so much a sprint as it is an awkward jog, bobbing my head up and down. It's a sprint for me, okay?!
By the time I'm out of the room I'm huffing and puffing, once again. I really need to increase my stamina, gosh. As I flop down onto the cold stone steps that were slightly moist from some rain this morning, I stare down at my right wrist, staring at the cuts that were once there. They've left a distinct scar, a constant memory that haunts me night after night, but they're still there. I tug my sleeve down, concealing them, like it's a permanent shame to me, which they pretty much are. But I cannot dwell on the past when there's so much in the future.
Amy's POV
Adrian takes hold of my hand once again half-way through the journey when I seem to get lost down an alley which is creepily aglow with artificial light from the shop adjacent. His hands are soft and he obviously moisturises. I just stare at the back of his head swishing from side to side as le leads me to his brother's flat. When we reach the place, he abruptly lets go of my hand and looks up towards his brother's room, as if he only held my hand because it was necessary to make sure I don't get lost. I awkwardly let my arm flop to my side, like it's lost all life. 'Um... I know you probably don't know, or don't want to tell, but why did Dan send me here?'
'Well... I shouldn't tell you. But I will tell you.'
There isn't exactly a lot to say to that, so I just stand there, my eyes scanning his unreadable face which is still looking up. Why is his face so emotionless? I need to know how somebody's feeling, always. '…' I stare at him, allowing him to start speaking.
'Oh, yeah. Sorry, zoned out for a second. He doesn't just subscribe to anyone. He thinks you're the next AmazingPhil. That's all I'm saying.'
My mouth automatically drops open, and I swear, if I was in a cartoon, my mouth could hit the floor, it would. 'W...' I breathe and try again. 'W-w...'
'Hmm?' He looks up, his brown eyes meeting mine for the first time since we arrived.
'W... why does he...'
Adrian's lips curve into a smile, and I know that I'm just making a fool of myself. I step forward, as he extends his arm, blocking me. 'Two rules. One: Are you wearing socks?'
I immediately reply, quoting Dan himself, 'Socks. Are. For. Losers!' much to his annoyance. 'That doesn't tell me if you're wearing them.'
Josie made me wear some this morning, so my feet didn't stink up the flat. 'Yes.'
'What socks are you wearing?'
'Um...' I rack my brain trying to remember my hosiery choices for this morning. 'One red and black check one, and one with lemons on.' I reply, grinning. I must shop at the same place that Dan and Phil get their socks. 'Why do you ask?'
'J-just wanted to make Dan like you more by seeing what socks you're wearing. He always looks for socks... And he makes you take your shoes off at the door.'
'Okay. Rule two?'
'Don't fangirl as soon as you get in. It's embarrassing and he probably won't like you as much.'
'...Okay. I'll try.'
'You better.'
'Okay.'
'…' The silence continues for at least ten seconds before I bring him back to the real world.
'So, are we going in or what?'
'Oh! Oh, yeah.' He walks up four flights of stairs before leading me to an entrance. He knocks on the door slowly, a repeated pattern. 'Knock knock knock knock knock... knock knock,' he sings along while knocking. I roll my eyes and as he spins round he sees my raised eyebrows and he blushes. A 'Come in!' is heard from inside and I automatically do a mini-fangirl scream. Adrian gives me a look of pure ice as I look down, ashamed, before I say, 'Let me get it out now and I won't do it inside, it's as simple as that.' Adrian nods before I shout 'ASDFGHJKL!' Not at the top of my voice, but I still say it loud enough to be heard from inside. Adrian shakes his head despairingly before opens the unlocked door and steps inside, making room for me to squeeze in after him. 'Who is it?' I can hear Dan call.
'Adrian!' yells Adrian. 'I have guests, so you better be decent!'
'I am, don't worry!'
'Kay.'
Silence. About twenty awkward seconds later of trying to take shoes off as quietly as possible without making any noise whatsoever. 'Dan?'
'Yeah?'
'Phil?'
'He's out.'
'Kay.'
I shuffle backwards and forwards awkwardly. Everything about me is awkward at this moment in time. I whisper, 'Are we going or...' as Adrian calls, 'What room are you in?'
'My bedroom.'
'Can you come to the living room? I have somebody who really wants to meet you.'
'...Okay. It's not a swarm of fans, is it?'
'… Not exactly.'
'Then what?'
'Come out and see.'
I could picture Dan at this moment in time slowly moving out of his comfy 'browsing position'. I almost giggle, but I promised not to break Rule 2, so I stifle my laugh and try to disguise it as a cough at the same time. It doesn't exactly work and I ended up half-choking.
'You okay there?' says Adrian, stepping forward into the living room.
'Yeah, yeah,' I whisper, trying to make sure Dan doesn't know who I am yet. He probably knows my voice as well as my face from my videos, as I look the same in most of them. I hope he recognises me, I really do, or this could just be the most awkward moment in my entire life, and there's been a hell of
I notice the black leather couch that an AmazingDan video was filmed underneath, and a 'Would You Rather' video, too. I see fanart plastered across many walls and I stare at the white surfaces in front of me, sighing as I try to calm my nerves. Being calm was not my forte.
And I almost lose it as the number one (despite what Josie says) hottest guy in the WORLD comes round the corner and stops abruptly in his tracks as soon as he sees me.
'Amelia?'
'Please,' I say, curtsying. Ah, screw it. I'm going to be myself, like in my videos. That's what Dan would want. 'Call me Amy.'
'Well...' Ha, now he's the one to be astounded. His brown eyes look even more rich and chocolatey in person. I smile broadly, causing him to do the same. 'Where did you meet her, Adrian?'
'Yeah, well about that, we're engaged... and she's pregnant.'
'WHAT!?' Dan and I burst out, which causes us to burst into a fit of giggles. 'I'm seventeen, for God's sake, Adrian, and I've known you for half an hour,' I say between gasps of air. Adrian has a smirk on his face, despite his embarrassment.
'Ha! You wish!' says Dan, which makes me spin around. 'Um... what?'
'He'd be lucky to get any girl who liked him for him, and not for me, and if he got you, wow, he'd be lucky as hell.' My eyes grow wide, realising what he's trying to say.
'You calling me beautiful, Howell?'
'…'
I raise my eyebrows, smirking slightly. Dan was still on the other side of the room, so he decides to change the subject and invite us inside properly. Well, this wasn't awkward at all!
I follow him and Adrian to the couch where he sits on his 'butt chair' and I sit on the couch, Adrian opposite me. 'May I ask something that has been on my mind since this morning?' I ask.
'Sure,' replies Dan.
'How did you find my channel?'
'I was looking at videos similar to mine, and I thought, "Hmm, who can I type in?" So I typed in pigs, danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, and Cheesy Wotsits, for some reason, and somehow, you came up, PiggyCowChickenFarm.' Just him saying my YouTube name makes me cringe. 'Uh... cringe... I made that channel name when I was 13. But I only created my YouTube channel in, what, 2009? Yeah, probably. But I was inspired by you and Phil, mostly, to do funny vlog-but-not-vlog type videos. Oh gosh, that sounds cheesy as hell.'
Dan beams. 'Thanks, most people just favourite and are like "I'll do that one day" but look, they never will. Thanks for actually doing it!' He coughs, as the cheesiness was becoming unbearable. 'Drinks, anyone?' I nod, and although this was so awkward so far, this day was going to be fun, either way.
