ONE MONTH LATER
"So, where do you want to go now?" Dan asks me, swinging our joined hands in the wind of the city. "Dunno, maybe just a cafe." I reply, breathing in the cool crisp afternoon air. He nods and i let him lead me off, i don't really pay attention to where we are going, my mind was somewhere else, it had been for a while now. "How about here?" He says, stopping outside a shop. I look up and grin for the first time today, we are standing outside Shakeaway, the cafe where we went on our first date. I remember Dan greeting his fans here, i felt so out of place and awkward. He opens the door for me and i stand by the counter and mull over what flavour to have.
"Oh my God, is that Amy?" I hear a voice come from behind me, i turn round and see a small group of teenage girls just by the door of the shop. "OMG, it is!" One of them says, i smile as i realise that this is the first time i have ever been recognized. "Hey." I greet them, unsure what to say. "Amy, can we have photo with you?" The other says, holding out a camera. "Of course you can, what are your names?" I ask them as i pose with them. "I'm Abi and this is Alice and Winnie. I have to say that we both love your videos Amy, you're my idol." Abi tells me. "Awww, thank you very much, that means a lot to me." I hug the girls and say goodbye, then i look up and see Dan hiding in the corner. "Their gone." I say walking over, "Why didn't you come to say hi, i'm sure that they would be more excited at seeing you than me." "I wanted you to have that moment, it's so special." He explains wrapping me in his arms, "Know what you want yet?" He asks, "Yep, i'm going to have a Dan special!" I say and turn round to the counter to make our orders.
THE NEXT DAY
DAN'S P.O.V.
Everyone was quiet as we sat in the taxi, the three of us shut off in own worlds. I watch Amy fiddle with her jacket buttons, her way of trying to ignore the awkwardness of the journey. Eventually we pull up outside of Heathrow and we all get out. I go to help Phil with his bags as we all walk inside the large white airport. We all look up at the large board with all the times of the flights. "New York, boarding now." Phil points out and we start walking over to the boarding gates. As we reach the queue it becomes apparent that this is the time to say goodbye. "Well this is it then." Phil says, as he opens his arms and hugs Amy. "Bye Phil." She says, her mouth wobbling as if she was about to cry. "Bye Amy, good luck coping with Dan." He jokes as she steps back, giving us this moment. "Dan." Phil says, unsure how to do the impossible, say goodbye to your closest and best friend. "I'm really going to miss you Phil, you've been so amazing to me. Shared a flat with me, made videos with me, helped me with my breakdown with Uni, helped me when Amy left and just been the best friend that i could ever ask for." I blurt out and we hug. "Just make sure that you're back for the wedding. I need my best man." I say, tears emerging. "Of course i will, wouldn't miss it for the world." He nods and picks up his bag, Amy walks back and i put my arm round her shoulders. "See you guys soon ok? I'll miss you!" He calls out as he walks through the door. We wave and then i start crying, Amy hugs me tight and rubs my back. "He'll be back soon Dan, please don't worry." She comforts me. "I know, we're growing up and this is something that has happened, i'll get over it." "No, we'll get over it...together." She says as we hold hands and walk back to the car park. I look down at this wonderful, wonderful women. How on earth did i get her? Someone so understanding, so clever, so thoughtful and meaningful. Yes, i was going to start focusing on the wedding now, the most important day of my life, i was going to help give Amy the wedding that she deserves.
