What If I Love You? (Phan)

9- Louise

(Sprinkleofglitter)

7 days

Sitting by the window, I look out at the green scenery as best as I can. The train is moving so fast I can't focus on anything for long, I have to jump to the next thing. Finished staring, I get back to editing my new video, a favourites for this month. I love favourites purely because I get to look round my house, hunting for all the things I loved over the past month. I'm on my way to surprise Dan and hopefully stay the night. Ya know, because Chummy is really busy with her book and I don't want to intrude on that.

My phone starts ringing, obviously I answer.

"Hello?" My voice is a little croaky due to the fact I haven't really talked for a few hours,

"Hello, is this Louise?" A female voice asks,

"Yes, who's asking?" Whoops that sounded a bit too sassy,

"I'm Carrie, Carrie Hope Fletcher," That Carrie!

"I know who you are! Itswaypastmybedtime!" I blurt out,

"And you're sprinkleofglitter!" She laughs,

"Okay so what's up?" I smile,

"I saw your latest tweet, unlike Dan, and I'm guessing that you're coming to London to see us?" Damn I forgot I tweeted,

"Yep but please don't tell Dan, maybe get his phone and unfollow me on his account?" I ask, hopeful,

"I'll try but I won't tell him, promise," I can almost hear her smile,

"See you soon," I wrap up the call,

"Okay, byee!" She was nice.

Slowing down, the train is almost at my stop so I collect my things. Pink satchel and a matching pink Ted Baker suitcase accompanied me on this trip. Smiling to myself, I hop off the train and into a taxi.

"Where to?" The driver grumbled and when I gave him the address, he stared at me.

"Okay," That answer suprised me but I just got my current book out for the ride. Soon enough, I paid the cabbie and I was there.

Making my way to the elevator, I text Carrie to tell her that I'm almost at the flat, to try and surprise her.

From Carrie

Okie dokie Louise x

A big smile creeps onto my face as I get closer and closer to the floor. I get out the elevator, climb the never ending staircase and I knock the door.

"Carrie!" I hear Dan shout,

"No you get it lazy arse," Carrie calls back, footsteps get louder and louder until I hear the door unlock.

"Oh my god, Louise!" Dan exclaims, hugging me the best he can in crutches.

"Okay well we need to order pizza," Carrie calls before walking into the room.

"Hiya!" She holds out her hand for me to shake but I hug her- I'm a hugger what can I say?

"Okay you said pizza so it's pizza time," Dan tells Carrie before leading me into the guest room,

"Can I stay the night?" I ask, hopeful,

"You don't have to ask you dumb donut!" Dan laughs,

"Dumb donut?" I giggle before whipping out my phone,

"I'm so tweeting this!" nI watch in amusement as Dan cringes,

@sprinkleofglitter just been called a dumb donut by @danisnotonfire he's cringing now

We laugh about it until Carrie walks in,

"Really Dan, a dumb donut!" She breaks down laughing and we take a group hug selfie for all our social media sites.

An hour later, I'm in Frozen pj's on the sofa with The Little Mermaid on and pizza. Dan is on my left and Carrie is to my right.

"Best night ever," I mumble to them,

"10 out of 10," Dan agrees,

"Deffo," Carrie giggles,

"So, guys, can I say that you two are amazing," I smile at them,

"oh you're giving me a glow!" Dan pretends to bask in glory,

"Dan, are you pregnant?" I giggle,

"Six months!" He replies, stuffing a cushion up his jumper. He then parades around, telling imaginary people to give him their seat, totally oblivious to the fact I'm recording him on my phone.

"Well Dan, I think Twitter shall wake up with a lovely video of pregnant Dan tomorrow." Carrie giggles as the movie credits go up,

"Well I'm tired and hungry but since I'm eating for two," He pats his cushion bump, " I shall eat these Malteasers in my room on Tumblr," He announces,

"Night guyts!" Dan calls from the hall,

"Goodnight," Me and Carrie call back.

"Louise," Carrie turns to me with a grave expression, " We need to talk about Dan,"

"Carrie, what's wrong?" I'm worried obviously.

"Yesterday, he didn't let himself grieve. He just sat at the bar, drinking bourbon!" She starts,

"He can't cope the poor thing," I point out to her,

"And, Louise, he smiles but what if that smile is fake? What if he just plasters it on to try and make it all seem okay?" Carrie starts crying so I take her into my arms,

"Carrie, he probabaly doesn't want us to worry. Dan is the person who tries to bottle it up and you're doing everything fine," I reassure her,

"I just want to help!" She cries,

"Carrie you are, you are helping by being here for him. Because Phil's not here, he needs someone and you're being that person that he needs," She looks up at me,

"You really think so?"

"I know so,"

"Can we watch Tangled?" I beg Carrie,

"Yes!" She exclaims, snuggling back into our blanket fort after popping it in the DVD player. The Disney theme plays and, being the cringey Disney fans we are, we hum along to the tune.

"Did you see when we went to Universal Zoe wore leggings and she got too hot so she had to wear the Simpons shorts?" I laugh with Carrie, remembering that hilarious moment,

"I also remember your version of Love Is An Open Door," Carrie muses and I sing the main line with her, obviously I'm Anna! We really get into Tangled and by the time the credits are up, my eyes are so heavy, I yawn and close them, falling into a deep deep slumber.
