"Ariana!" I hug Chris back shortly as he arrives in the warehouse, he was the last person to arrive. Most songs of my EP are done, we're filming the last bits of the music video's for the ones with music video and some challenge video's before I go back to the UK.

The boys have been helping me finish songs and were really excited when they heard they had roles in the music video's. The EP got pushed back for a while, since there's three songs not finished yet.

Luckily the two songs that are finished have music video's and the rest don't.

"Chris!" We chuckle and let go of eachother. I have been texting with Dream a lot, even as far as falling asleep on facetime a lot, which neither of us minded. It was quite nice.

We've also been talking about my birthday coming up, and that he wanted to give me a present, even though I said he didn't need too, so he has been looking for 'the perfect present' as he likes to call it when we're in call together.

He won't even hint at it, but he's been asking our friends and my little brother for help. Which is I guess good so he knows he's certainly going to get me something that I would want.

Dream is, he's different from Jake. In every way, and it's good. Jake never asked my friends or family for help with presents, or made sure I was okay and safe, he tried to get me to stop talking to all my friends, even tried to get Tommy out of the picture.

He tried to get me to move in with him, only because he was toxic, there was no other reason. He made sure to show it to everyone, but hide it good enough so the fans wouldn't notice.

But the fans could see with my reactions if he was being toxic, which he hated.

Dream instead does everything the other way. He pushes me to be my best self, to make me eat, drink, take care of myself in general. He makes sure I text my friends back when he knows I'm feeling down.

He texts me when he gets home from the store, or when he feels like something is up with me. He facetimes me when he notices the way I type change when I get tired, just to talk to me.

I love it, it makes me feel safe and wanted.

He makes me feel safe and wanted.

"Okay! Kids in front of the room!" Jimmy claps his hands and we do as told, standing in front of the special room they build for this last to leave challenge.

We basically have to stay in this long for as long as possible and the person who stays in the longest wins money. Jimmy does the intro, while Sapnap and Karl are being silly behind him, which he knows but ignores.

Quackity is listening to Jimmy explain, since he doesn't know yet. "Okay, hand in youre phones." We do as told and are soon in the room, which has at least one chair for everyone.

"You guys have fun." Jimmy tells us before he locks us in. "I claim the chair next to Ariana!" Sapnap screeches like a child before rushing over to it.

"I want the other one!" With that Quackity is seated, leaving Karl looking upset. "Oh come here!" Karl smiles and jumps into my open arms, sitting down on my lap, looking into the camera in the corner.

"You see this Dream? You jealous yet?" Karl grins, before we all laugh and fall into a conversation. They have been pulling stuff like this since I arrived, just to annoy Dream that he isn't here with us.

"Ari? You good?" Chris looks at me, once the three idiots left to annoy Chandler on the other side of the room. "Yeah, just dreading going back home, I miss it, but I'll miss you guys." I sigh and he nods, understanding what I mean.

"Just like last time." I nod to tell him he's right. "Luckily all the filming is wrapped up, so that's great." I tell him and pull the blanket Jimmy got me closer to my body, since it's cold in here.

The heater broke ten minutes ago when Chris threw a chair at it with Karl, trying to demand Jimmy to give them stuff to do, which was funny, until the tempature dropped.

"Guys! You have been in here for a while, and it's time for dinner, so I brought burgers and fries!" Jimmy steps in with a smile, making Sapnap, Chandler, Quackity and Karl jump up in excitement when they hear the word dinner.

"I also brought you guys a new heater!" We all cheer as two people bring it in, also some more food. "We're going to be here for a long time now." I tell Jimmy and he chuckles.

"We'll see."
