Adopted by Dan and Phil

~Revealing The Truth~

The chat burst with questions, Phil managed to calm them down, however many remained with curiosity and a question remained.
Who was She?
Phil quickly ended the livestream, saying his last goodbyes to his viewers and ended the stream.
Ella was watching it with Dan in his room. She hid her head beneath her top in embarrassment.
"Ella you idiot." Dan sighed.
"I'm sorry!" She snapped.
She felt so bad for Phil. There was a large pit in her stomach. The guilt was too much. She didn't mean to get caught- she was not being as careful as she should have.

Dan got up from his chair and called for Phil. Ella's head sank even lower. She couldn't believe she had been so reckless. Soon, the familiar patter of Phil's footsteps echoed closer until he reached them and walked in the room. Ella couldn't control herself. "Phil! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to get in your livestream-"
"It's okay."
"Huh?" She was taken aback. "Aren't you mad."
"No," he smiled, walking up to Ella.
The smug look on his face meant he was up to something.
"But this means you'll officially means we will have to tell everyone your staying with us."
She let out a groan of annoyance.
"Tonight." He added sharply.

Her eyes flew open. "Tonight?!"
He nodded. "Uhuh. If we don't I suspect tumblr and Twitter will create a bunch of rumors. Might as well clear them."
Ella's mouth formed the shape of an 'o'. Her shoulders dropped, she turned to Dan for another solution. He shrugged his shoulders and raised up his palms.
"Sorry Ella. I think Phil's right-oh my god- Phil your right." Dan added a tad of humor at the end which Phil played along with.
"I know right."

Before Ella knew it they were dragging her into the room where all the equipment was- since they were too lazy to move it- and began filming. It wasn't going to be a fancy video. All it was, was a short video explaining the current situation. Ella crossed her fingers behind her back and hoped that the Phandom would understand. She hoped they'd have a good reaction.
"3, 2, 1" Ella mouthed and pressed record.
"Hello internet," Dan said his usual phrase.
Ella's heart skipped a beat as he said those two simple words.
"So this is going to be a very short video just explaining a few things-"
You could tell he was trying to conceal his smile. Dan wasn't one for being serious.
"But I'll need someone to join me first."
Phil moved into the picture. "Hi!" He smiled and motioned a wave with his hand for ages.
"Stop." Dan demanded seriously then broke into a laugh.
"Okay so as some of you may have seen on Phil's live show a 'mystery girl' appeared."
Dan continued, "and before any rumours broke out we wanted to explain fully ourselves."
"Ella?"
"Hm?" She mumbled.
"You can come in now." Dan said in a low tone.
"Oh."

Awkwardly, Ella scooted in and stared blankly at the camera. "Erm- Hi?"
She sighed and put her face in her hands. "Right I can't do this."
"Come on Ella you were doing fine!" Phil encouraged, giving her a light nudge on her forearm.
"Let's try again." Dan suggested.
Ella gave a heartfelt sigh, and, slowly nodded in agreement. Dan stood up and re-recorded.
"You can come in now."
Once more she scooted in. "Hi,"
"This is Ella," Phil motioned at her. "She has been staying with us for a week and will be staying with us for-"
"Quite a while," Dan cut in. "Think of it like we've adopted her."
Ella gave a short burst of laughter, it was short and sharp. Like glass shattering. "Adopted by Dan and Phil? Hm? Quite the tale."
"Anything you'd like to say to the people watching Ella?" Phil asked.
"Erm," Ella brought her finger to her lip and thought briefly. "I'll let you all in on the details of what goes on here."
Dan started chuckling sarcastically. "Oh hahah. So funny Ella."
"No no no. I actually mean, " she continued. "If I had to say something it's-
Don't cry.
