The valiant morning sun rays seeped through the bedroom window, sending a glossy gold sheen around the room. Ella woke up, it's rays almost burning into her eyes. She squinted her tired eyes and pulled the duvet to hide herself in the comforting darkness of the covers. She groaned and stuck an arm out to feel the familiar desk where her phone would sit. It wasn't there. Her hand wanders through the air in confusion. She raised an eyebrow and peeked out into the light of day to see she was not in her bedroom. She gasped and threw off the the covers. Her eyes wandered around the room to notice it was not her own. Her heart raced with panic and her face was held in shock. After a moment, she came to realisation and remembered she was no longer home. Almost slapping herself, she fell back into bed and let her head flop onto the pillow. Her stomach filled with a butterfly sensation when she remembered she was not in just in any room- but Phil's room. She couldn't help the smile which kept growing wider and wider on her face. Now fully awake, Ella hauled herself up once more. She pulled her legs over the side and grabbed her phone from where she had left it the night before. She took a glance at it and groaned when she say the time.
"9:00am?" She yawned, rubbing her eyes.
Her vision blurred and then came back to her, clear as crystal. She switched it off and stood in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do next. Not knowing whether to leave the room freely or wait. She stood paralysed and slightly confused. Next thing there was a gentle knock at the door. Her eyes widened and she jumped onto the bed with a thud. She hauled the covers over her and quickly pretended to play an app on her phone. Attempting to act as natural as possible.
"Come in," she said.
The door creaked open and a tired Dan answered to door. He leaned against it, his composure held. His once straight hair had a few slight curls running through it, he let out a large yawn and scratched the back of his head.
"Wanted to know if you were awake." He replied, stepping in a little.
"I am," she replied with a slight smile, her eyes crinkling at the sides.
She tried to stand up straighter and clicked off her phone.
"Did you have a nice sleep?"
"Yeah, erm, was Phil okay with me staying here?" She said awkwardly. "I, erm, felt bad."
Dan shook his head and stood another step inside the room. "He was fine."They both nodded. Dan yawned once more and looked over at the llama hat beside her bed, his mouth twitched into a slight smile.
"Yeah, If I knew I was staying with you guys I would've maybe worn something different so I didn't seem like some fangirl-" she began.
"What? No. That's amazing that you watch our videos. It just makes you twenty times better." He smiled.
Ella's cheeks flushed a light pink, she looked down trying to hide her blush and smile. Dan saw this and his smirk grew a little wider. He turned around to leave and continued talking.
"We are making breakfast in a few minutes if you want to come."
"Yeah sure,"
He opened the door and was about to leave when Ella stopped him.
"Oh one more thing," Ella added.
He turned to face her and raised an eyebrow.
"Can I erm," she said embarrassed. "Tell my friend I'm staying with you guys?"
He chuckled. "Yeah sure,"
He left the room and let it shut behind him. Ella's face lit up he pulled herself up and crossed her legs. She grabbed her phone and began to text Anna.
~~~~~
Ella: Hey wanna Skype?!
*bing*
Anna: Now?! It's 10am here too earlyy!
Ella: Pwease ^.^
*bing*
Anna: 10mins I just woke up!
Ella: haha okay byeeXD
~~~~~Putting her phone down, Ella looked in the mirror and fixed herself up. Noticing what a mess she must have looked like in front of Dan.
"Ella you idiot." She said to herself, fixing her hair and pulling it into a messy bun.
She looked over her clothes and thought she might as well stay in pyjamas since there is no point in changing for breakfast. Checking over herself once more, she stared straight at her reflection and studied it. Then, she began to raise her hands up and down, calming herself and trying to make sure her inner fangirl wouldn't explode. The side of her mouth twitched up and she pulled a face at the mirror. Before she turned to leave she took a quick selfie and posted it on snapchat. She giggled to herself imagining how everything would be like now, living with Dan and Phil. She never even imagined herself meeting them- this was a dream to her. At once, there was a buzz in her hand and a message appeared on her phone.
~~~~~
Anna: I can Skype!!
~~~~~
Ella laughed and jumped back into the bed. She opened Skype and saw already four missed calls from Anna. She couldn't help the insanely huge grin on her face. Anna's face popped up on her screen beside it were the words answer or decline. Ella took a deep breath and answered the call. The blurred cameras cleared and she saw the face of her best friend Anna. The first thing she heard was her scream, Ella held her hands to her ears and laughed blocking out Anna's menacing screech.
"ELLA!" She screamed.
"Hey! Miss you," Ella smiled.
"IM GOING TO CRY I MISS YOU SO MUCH!" Anna bellowed into the camera.
She was wearing her white and black stripped pyjamas. The top was a tank top and the bottoms were shorts, it must have been boiling there. She pulled the camera out a bit further, she was surprised Anna hadn't noticed the room she was in. The bed sheets were in a mess and the room did seem a tad untidy, however, she was still surprised.
Ella raised a hand to her face. "I miss you too,"
"So tell me who are you staying with?" Anna squeaked.
"Well you'll never believe me but-"
Suddenly, the door flew open and Phil walked inside.
"Hey Ella, breakfast's ready," he smiled.
At once there was a pause, a gasp, and a terrifyingly large scream from the phone. Phil covered his ears and raised his eyebrows.
"What the-" he said.
Ella bit her lip.
"ELLA YOU SLEPT WITH PHIL?!!" Anna screamed into the phone camera.
Ella's eyes widened, "No no Anna it's not what you think-"
"YOU SLUT I SAID PHIL WAS MINE AND YOU WERE GONNA MARRY DAN REMEMBER?!"
Phil's face froze and became slightly peach, Ella placed a hand on her forehead in regret. She knew Anna was joking around, but this wasn't the right time.
"No Anna let me explain!"
"Shall I leave?" Phil said with embarrassment.
"No wait-" Ella gasped.
Anna continued ranting and fangirling at the same time. It was the most hilarious and embarrassing sight.
"Anna cállate y déjame explicarte por amor de los dioses."
Anna instantly became silent. Ella stood up and walked next to Phil, she said in a childish tone opening her arms wide.
"I'm staying with Dan and Phil." She smiled.
"Hi, sorry about the confusion." Phil laughed awkwardly.
Anna gasped. "Oh my gosh, no way! I'm so jel and sorry Ella. I knew it couldn't be. Oh and HEY PHIL!"
Anna almost screamed saying hi to Phil, Ella could see the tears forming in her eyes, she was as big as a fan as she was. He waved at the camera and signalled at Ella that they needed to go to breakfast.
"Anna I need to go have breakfast." Ella giggled.
"Okay, B-B-Bye." Anna said now in shock.
Skype switched off and they both began to laugh.
"I'm so so sorry about Anna."
"No it's fine that was hilarious."
Ella chewed the inside of her cheek and followed him to the kitchen. She was offered multiple choice, but went for simple cereal. She sat next to Dan and Phil on the breakfast bar. They ate and chatted at the same time.
"What was going on just before you came?" Dan asked. "It sounded like some cat caught in a fan."
Ella looked down and chuckled slightly, she continued eating her cereal.
"Let's just say don't walk in on Ella Skyping her friends." Phil said with a slight smile.
He tapped Ella on the shoulder, "especially if they are Phangirls."
She laughed and continued eating.After she was done she moved her things to her room and sorted things out, it took quite a while. Once finished she turned to find Dan and Phil ready at the door- while she was still in her pyjamas.
"We were thinking of taking you around London today since you need to get stuff or your room." Dan said.
"Yeah and we need to get you an Oyster card." Phil added.
"Okay," Ella nodded, putting the final items of clothes in her wardrobe. "I'm just going to shower and then I'll be ready."
"Take your time," Phil said before leaving.
Dan rolled his eyes and chased after him. Through the echoes in the corridor she could still hear their voices.
"You don't know how wrong that sounded Phil."
"I know I'm sorry,"
"Too late now!" Dan laughed.
Ella giggled and gathered her final things before looking around at her unfinished room. And urge of excitement rushed through her. She almost hopped up and down and made her way to the bathroom.
