Endlessly searching through each station, platform and train. Dan and Phil began to loose hope. The train began to go back to its route and they ended back at the first stop.
"Did we check here last time?" Dan asked.
"No, I think we missed it." Phil mumbled.
They had been searching for over an hour. The fear was taking over them. The fear of never finding Ella again. They tiredly got off the train at the station and began to look around. It was one o'clock now. They were starving and tired. Crowds of civilians burst through the entrances to the platform. Making it impossible for them to see anything.
They moved to the side and stood next to a bench which someone was sitting on. Surprisingly it was the same person they saw earlier. The girl had her nose to her phone and was intently trying to get wifi.
"Now what?" Phil said sarcastically.
"We will keep looking." Dan snapped, trying to stay positive- however he wasn't good at those things.
Phil narrowed his eyes, wanting to say something then he let it go. They began to walk away when they heard a familiar voice scream at them.
"Dan! Phil!"
They whipped their heads round and saw the girl jump up from the bench and run towards them. It was Ella. Pushing past the crowd, not caring about anything else they rushed towards her and finally reached her. When they came face to face, they all calmed down and hope was with them again.
"Thank god Ella." They both panted, catching their breath.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I should be more careful."
"It's okay, at least we found you." Phil gasped.
They all walked out of the station and back to the apartment. Once inside they dropped their bags and flopped onto the couch with a sigh. Ella brought out her phone and made sure to put both their numbers in her contacts so if anything happened again; they could find her. She then went to her room and put her phone on charge. She could hear their voices echoing through the house. They were chatting about lunch which wasn't relevant to anything that had happened.
"Ella come here a sec'." Dan called her.
She walked back to the living room, and greeted them.
"Yes?"
"Is it okay if we order pizza for lunch since today's been quite hectic?" Dan continued.
Ella nodded her head in agreement and sat on the arm of the couch on the opposite side. She bit her nails and looked around the room with a tired yawn. Phil raised his attention to her and brought his finger to his lip and winked at Dan. Dan shrugged his shoulders in confusion. Sneakily, Phil leant towards Ella and pulled her by her shirt. Not too harsh, yet just enough for her to gasp and fall back onto the comfy sofa.
"HAHA!" They both burst out laughing.
Phil's face was bright red with laughter and Dan was cackling away. Ella pouted her face and blew the hair out of it. She stared up at the ceiling and rolled her eyes.
"Thanks Phil," she said guessing it was him.
He leant over her and crinkled his nose and mouth. He stared down at her.
"Any time," he chuckled, reaching out a hand.
Ella took hold of his hand and hauled herself back upright. She slid through the couch and sat next to them. Dan had his laptop on his lap and was endlessly scrolling through tumblr, face palming and laughing at what people had made. Phil stood up and wandered around the living room, scanning the room for something.
"Dan, do y'know where the phone is?"
"In the kitchen on the counter." He mumbled.
"What?" Phil asked.
"In the kitchen on the counter." Dan mumbled again,
"What?"
"In the kitchen." Dan wailed, articulating his words as much as possible.Phil scurried out the room and went to fetch the phone. Ella ginned and crossed her legs as she watched Dan scroll through tumblr.
"So you do mumble." She said.
"Yeah, what did you not believe me?" He gasped sarcastically.
"I did," she reassured. "It's just you never know what's just for a video and what's real."
"True." He agreed.
Ella gazed at Dan as he stared at the screen in front of him. He was tranced by the computer screen and couldn't take his eyes away. Ella admired him and then looked at the screen. He scrolled past the photos which were on the page and saw a link to something within the lines of fanfic. Ella let out a burst of laughter then covered her mouth."What?" Dan asked with confusion.
"¿No vas a leer?" Ella giggled.
Dan narrowed his eyebrows. "Pardon?"
"Aren't you going to read it?"Dan rolled his eyes and scrolled down, passing the link. Ella pouted and made a silly, strange sound with her mouth.
"Do you want me to?" He laughed.
"Well, your reaction would be priceless."He didn't reply to her and continued scrolling not giving a second thought. Ella's mouth curved into half a frown, she regretted saying that.
"But they are pretty weird, never mind." She said brushing off her last comment.
Ella stayed silent and hugged her knees tightly. She sank her head in between them and let out a soft sigh. Through the corner of her eye she saw Dan still scrolling. However, she could have sworn she saw his cheeks flush an incredibly pale pink.
