*Amelia's POV*

Several hours have passed and its now 7pm. A cold breeze brushes by me and I shiver, even with a light jacket on its cold here for October. I look up at the sky as the sun slowly starts to set, its so beautiful that I take a few pictures with my phone. I think about what Dan and Phil could be doing right now, is Phil still mad at Dan for what he said? Is Phil still in his room? Are they even speaking to each other right now? I shake my head and just forget about it, no need to worry now that I'm out here all by myself with nature surrounding me. I hear crickets in the distance, birds calling out to one another, and the sound of the wind blowing. It makes me feel relaxed. I think about what I would be doing now if all of this didn't happen, if my parents were still alive. I remember on Saturday nights we would always go out for dinner and then go see a movie, the last movie we went to see was Me Before You which made us all cry. After that we would come home and just sit in the family room together doing our own thing, I would read a book while my mother either painted or sewed and my father would watch the news on the tv. That happened in June, we were all so busy over the summer that we couldn't have anymore family nights. I was a part of a community production of The Little Mermaid which I had the role of flounder the fish. Rehearsals were Monday, Wednesday, and Friday every week. My father had to stay at work late on Saturdays to prepare for his business trip in August and my mother would get together with her friends so it would just be me at home either having a marathon of all four of The Hunger Games movies or practising my songs and lines for the production. Soon it was the end of summer and I had two shows for two weekends in a row. Then the week of my dad's business trip came and that's when everything happened. I take a deep breath in, then out and just admire everything around me. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for everything that has happened to me so far since the accident. I've had so many amazing experiences that I never thought I would get to do in my life. I'm taken back into reality when my phone goes off, its a text from Phil asking where I am. I quickly send a reply saying I'm okay and will be home soon. I stand up and look around, how am I going to get back? Out of the corner of my eye I see a cab pull up. The driver rolls down the window and calls out, "Hey you need a drive somewhere?" I nod and get into the car. "Alright, where we heading?" says the man as he turns around to face me. The second we make eye contact I almost burst out laughing, its the same driver that took us home from the airport a week ago, "Hey long time no see" I say and he laughs, "Well its only been a week right? You seem lost, did you forget how to get home?" I nod, "I see, don't worry I remember where you live" and with that he turns back around and starts the car. Soon enough he pulls up in-front of the building. "Alright miss here ya go" he says and we both exit the car. I reach into my pocket to hand him money but he waves his hand and says, "Don't worry about it" which surprises me. "Thank you sir, have a good night" I say with a smile. He nods "You too, wait your names Amelia right?" I nod and he smiles, "Nice name, oh and I can tell those two boys you live with love you very much" he says with a wink. He then enters his car and drives off. I'm left standing there in shock. What made him want to say that? I shrug and enter the building. Once I reach the door I find it unlocked, I enter, take off my shoes and jacket and head up the stairs to the hallway. "Hello?" I call out. Door to the lounge opens, its Phil. The minute he sees me standing there he hugs me. I hug him back and we stay like that for a few minutes before he pulls back and looks at me, "When Dan told me you left I was so worried, I'm sorry you had to hear all of that" I'm not sure how to respond to this. "Anyway, we're having a live tatinof watch party with our fans, do you want to join us?" I hesitate but he pats my shoulder, "Don't worry no one will see you, were just replying to people on twitter that's all" and with that I nod and we head into the lounge. The minute I walk in I see Dan in his totoro onesie, sitting in his sofa crease, with his laptop opened to twitter. I take a seat next to him and Phil sits next to me. The part of the show where they play the seven second challenge is playing on the tv. Next to me Phil opens up his laptop screen and starts typing away. I look around the room, trying to remember where I had left it. Suddenly I jump up and run out of the room. Its still there sitting on the stairs up to the gaming room. I grab it, quickly run back in the room and sit down. I open up my own laptop and click on my email page, I've gotten a reply from my teacher saying thank you and another email from Eva, I decide to tell her everything that's happened. Once that email is sent off to her I close my laptop and focus on the show playing on the tv. Dan and Phil seem to be having fun just relaxing and enjoying watching their show knowing that their fans are also watching it. Soon we reach the end of the show and I know what's coming next. Phil clicks something on his laptop and gets up. He does a pose and little turn like he did on stage, "Whenever I'm alone" he starts to say and I can't believe what is happening right now. Suddenly Dan gets up and throws him the golden jacket. They both put on their costumes and get ready to start dancing. The music starts to pick up and they begin the dance. I'm smiling so wide that my face starts to hurt but I don't care. I laugh as they try to dance in the small space in the lounge. Phil almost falls over and Dan forgets some of the song lyrics but in the end its the best performance I've seen and I'm up on my feet clapping when they take their final bow. Dan collapses on the couch after and Phil does some stuff on his computer. I take Dan's hat, put it on my head and start dancing. He just sits there laughing as I try to interpret the dance moves in the number. Phil looks up from his laptop and starts laughing as well. Soon I give up and collapse on the couch in a ball full of laughter. Phil starts the documentary on the tv and types something on his computer, probably a tweet telling the fandom to start watching the documentary. I lie back and get ready for what the documentary has to show. Getting to watch it for the first time with the guys is one of the best things I could ask for. There's so many great scenes in the documentary and one of the parts that gets me laughing is when they call themselves D Lizzle and P Lizzle. The tour bus was huge and it was cool to see all the places they visited and how many fans came to the different shows. We reach the part of the documentary where there rehearsing their voices before the show and they start singing Danger Men at Work. My eyes go wide, I know this song! My vocal teacher taught it to me during rehearsals for The Little Mermaid. "Danger men at work, Danger men at work" I start to say and the guys look at me. Soon we're all singing the song and trying to contain our laughter. I can't help it, I start laughing and can't stop. We soon calm down and continue watching the documentary. "Wait where did you learn that song from?" Dan asks, "I was in a theatre production of The Little Mermaid and my vocal teacher taught it to me as a warm up for my voice. I thought it was so weird at first but after awhile I got used to it and was always singing it". Phil laughs, "Yeah it was hard for us to learn at first but we got the hang of it". Soon the documentary comes to an end and were left staring at the black tv screen. I look over at Dan who is trying not to show that he is crying. I grab a tissue from the coffee table and hand it to him. He takes it and drys his tears which causes me to laugh. Phil closes his laptop, places it on the coffee table and gets up, "Alright I'm heading to bed, see you in the morning" and with that he leaves the room. Dan and I look at each other, "I'm going to go check on him" and with that he gets up and heads after him. I decide to leave them alone and also head off to bed. I turn off the tv, grab my laptop and head up to my room. Once my head hits the pillow I fall asleep.

*Dan's POV*

I knock on Phil's door, "Phil, can I come in?" I hear a muffled response and open the door. He's lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. I sit next to him, "What's wrong?". He sits up and looks at me, "I feel bad for what I said to you today. I hate when we fight and I meant none of the things I said. I'm really sorry Dan". I'm taken aback but what he said. "I'm sorry too" I say "I shouldn't have freaked out like that I was just worried about how Amelia would react to this if she found out. I want her to feel safe and welcomed here" Phil nods, "Martyn told me she already knew about what happened but she was calm about it". I'm not sure how to respond to this so I just nod. I wonder how Amelia felt after she heard us. When I saw her standing there in the hallway I knew right away that she had heard our whole argument. When she ran out of the house I tried going after her but something stopped me and told me to let her go out and calm down. When I told Phil he freaked out and contacted her right away. She soon arrived home and I could tell Phil was so worried about her. Silence fills the room and I look at Phil, he stares straight ahead probably lost in his own thoughts. I sigh, its been a long day for the both of us. I pat his shoulder and get up, "See you tomorrow buddy" I say and head out of the room. I walk into my room and get into bed and fall asleep.
