MARLEY POV:

When I got back home, I was exhausted. I was mentally drained from all of my studying over the past week and emotionally drained from my talk with Dan. All I wanted to do was curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and watch a few episodes of Dr. Who before going to sleep.

I had just turned on the teakettle when Rachel walked into the room.

Oh no, I groaned inwardly. I was not in the mood to recount my day with Dan to Rachel right now.

"Marley, can I talk to you for a sec?" Rachel looked sheepish. Maybe this isn't about Dan.

"Sure, Rachel. What's up?"

"Do you know when your apartment is going to be finished?"

"Um, I think it might take a few more weeks. Why?"

"Well," she began, looking down at her hands, which she was wringing in front of her. Oh great. Here comes bad news. "My landlord is very… strict with the maximum number of people per apartment thing. And since Finn has been spending so much time here, my landlord told me that someone has to move out."

What was I supposed to do? I did not have an apartment and my other friends from school already had roommates so they had no room for me.

Rachel looked up and saw my expression. "You don't have to if you don't want to!" She said quickly. "I can just stay at Finn's more often. It was just that he works here and it's more convenient for both of us. But seriously, don't worry about it."

"No, I'll find another place," I said. "Don't worry about me. I don't want to get in the way of the perfect couple," I said smiling. Rachel and Finn really were perfect. His ability to remain calm was a perfect match for her constant bubbly enthusiasm. I honestly did not want to come between them, but I had no idea where I was supposed to go. "Just give me a week or so to figure something out."

"You're the best, Marley," Rachel said, giving me a huge hug.

Shit

DAN POV:

When I got home from my date with Marley, I realized that I still had a video to upload. I had plenty of time before Friday would be over, but I wanted to get it up as soon as possible. Whenever my videos were uploaded too close to my "deadline" my subscribers would get a little angry and I did not want my Danosaurs throwing a fit tonight and ruining my good mood. I went straight to my computer and began to go through the video, making last minute edits before I uploaded it. I tried to focus but I could not stop thinking about Marley.

"Dan, will you keep it down in there?! I'm trying to shoot a video!" Phil yelled from his room.

I hadn't realized I had been singing Toxic at the top of my lungs. Awkward.

"You really have it bad for her, don't you?" I turned around to see Phil standing in my doorway.

"I thought you were filming."

"It can wait," he said, walking over and plopping down on my bed.

I hit the upload button, knowing I was not going to be able to perfect the video any more, and went over and sat down next to Phil.

"Yeah, dude…. I don't know. She's really great." I sighed. Actually thinking about how I felt about Marley was almost overwhelming.

"She makes you happy?"

"Beyond happy."

"Dan," I could hear hesitation in Phil's voice, "just be careful, okay? If something starts to go wrong, come to me first. We don't want any… old habits to resurface."

I felt a twinge of annoyance. I had only just started seeing Marley a week ago. Did he really not have any faith in our relationship? When I looked over at him though, my annoyance faded. His look of concern reminded me that the friend who had practically saved my life a few years ago was still here with me. It meant a lot that he still worried about me and was still just as determined to keep me from reverting to my old ways as he had been to save me from them in the first place.

"Thanks, Phil," I said, giving him a big and grateful hug.

I had no idea where I would have ended up without Phil. Probably dead, said a small voice in my head, which I quickly pushed away. It had never been that bad, but a part of me had always been worried it would escalate or that one day I might just lose control. Phil had saved me from that. He had taken me in and shown me the light. He got me into YouTube. The additional support from my subscribers was enough to keep me from returning to the "dark side," as I liked to think of it. I owed Phil my career and my life.

When I pulled away I realized that I had tears in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away so Phil would not notice. If he did, he did not say anything, which I greatly appreciated. I was not particularly interested in discussing the matter further.

"Hey, do you want to be in my video for a bit?" Phil asked me.

I was not sure if he was asking just to cheer me up, or because he actually needed me, but I said, "Sure."

"Awesome. I'm almost done, but I just had a few more things to say."

We went into his room and I sat down on his bed next to him. Phil and I had filmed so many videos together that he did not even bother to tell me what his video was about this time, trusting that I would catch on.

He hit record and began talking.

"So it's been raining a lot lately. Rain dance." Phil began to do wave his hands around and wiggle his fingers, imitating rain. I immediately jumped up, turned around and wiggled my butt at the camera. My pants were falling down, and I knew the comments would be filled with things like, "Omg guys, Dan has no butt!" and "Dan, get a belt you slut!" but I did not care one bit. I knew they loved it.

"But on the plus side, I'm an internet person, so its not like I have to leave the house," Phil continued. I sat there while he finished the video, interjecting where I thought it was appropriate.

When I called Marley the next day, she said she could not hang out because she had to look for a new apartment to stay in temporarily. I wanted to offer to have her stay at my place, but I thought that it would be pushing it a little too far. We had only really been dating about a week and I did not think it was very appropriate to move in with someone after such a short amount of time.

I was disappointed that I would not see her this weekend, but I used the opportunity to catch up on some stuff I had been neglecting. Phil and I had some major work to do for the radio show. And on top of that, I had about one million VYou questions to go through and I had to find a good outfit for my next YouNow. I knew it did not really matter, but I put a lot of thought into what I was going to wear for my videos. I had to make sure that I never wore the same thing in a bunch of videos close to each other. Plus I kind of had a thing for fashion….
