By the time we have gotten back home it's dark outside and i am very cold. As soon as Dan opens the front door Phil shots up from sitting on the sofa and runs over to us. "Oh my god guys, someone spotted you two!" The words don't have much meaning at first but then Phil shows us the twitter homepage and the most trending topic is Dan's Mystery Girlfriend. Dan grabs the phone of Phil and scrolls through the comments, and there's the photo that started it all. A photo of me and Dan holding hands in the park just now, his hood has blown off and you can clearly see him smiling down at me. Luckily, my face is hidden in my hood and you can only just see the end of my hair at the bottom of my hood. "Shit!" Dan says and i peer over his shoulders at the comments.
OMG! No! Danisnotonfire has a gf!
Is it amazingphil?
Who the hell is she?
Dan why are you doing this to us? We love you!
All the comments are the same, questioning who i am and trying to get as many clues from the photo as they can. "What are we going to do?" I ask. Dan turns off the phone and chucks it back to Phil. "I'm not going say anything at all until we are both 100% ready." He says, looking me in the eye. "Please don't listen to any of those comments darling, promise me?" He says. I nod in reply and we hug. "I'll write a tweet saying to leave Dan alone and that he'll tell you when he is ready." Phil says, typing on his phone. "Thanks Phil." Dan says. "Amy, don't go any social networking sites until I've sorted it. OK?" "Yep, i promise." At that moment my phone beeps and i see that i have a new text from Sophie, my Uni friend.
omg, have u heard the news about Danisnotonfire's girlfriend? theres a photo of them and phil just tweeted about so it must true!
I show Dan the text and he gives me a worried look. "Don't answer that." He orders. "Let's forget all about this for now and just try to watch some T.V. or something." He says as he walks off, combing his hands through his hair, clearly stressed. Phil finishes his tweet and sees my worried expression. "Don't worry about him Amy, he does this when he gets stressed, he'll calm down in a minute." I smile at Phil, he always knows how i'm feeling and knows how to make me feel better. I follow Dan in to his room where he is already on his laptop, his face frowning. "Hey, come on Dan." I say, trying to help. He doesn't look up. "Dan, what are you doing?" I move closer to him. "Amy, just give me a minute, please." His eyes don't leave the screen and i take the hint and leave him alone. "Think i'll go back home for the night." I tell Phil as i walk out the door, not giving him time to reply. As i walk down the stairs i feel lost and upset, surely this will be the end of our relationship, he has over two million subscribers! I'd never really thought about what would happen with his fans, i had been so happy that i hadn't thought logically. How would my friends act? My parents? I'd told no one about even living in the block of flats as Dan and Phil, let alone the fact that me and Dan were together.
