--Ella's Pov--

"We're gonna be late," Chip says as I walk out of the apartment building. Freezy is sitting in the driver's seat of his car. Chip rushes out and opens the back door for me, planting a quick kiss on my lips.

"You said to be ready by 10," I point out to him. It's only 9:55 but he's freaking out about traffic. Freezy is playing so if he's not freaking out I'm not freaking out.

"Where's Arthur and Kelsey?" He asks as he gets back into his seat. Freezy drives ahead as I buckle up.

"They are heading there with George," I tell him leaning my head in between their seats, "You excited?" I ask poking Freezys arm.

"I'm nervous but in a good way. I'm scoring a goal and that's final," he says as we all smile.

"Now are you on the all-stars team or sidemen?" I ask looking up the roaster.

"Obviously the Sidemen team. Chris doesn't deserve me on his team," he says as I roll my eyes playfully. Speaking of Chris we haven't talked much in the past month. He's been busy with videos and Chips always over. Not that that's a problem it just isn't the same as how it was. I take my phone out and send a text to Kelsey to tell her we are on our way. I'm excited to see the stadium.

We walk in and my mind is immediately blown, "This is sold out?" I ask looking around at the thousands of seats.

"Aren't we impressive?" Harry says walking past with a water. I smile seeing Chris walking beside him. He walks over with his arms open and picks me up.

"How have you been?" He asks setting me down after a long hug, "A little birdy told me that you and Chip have almost been dating for six months," he says as I nod my head.

"If you told Christmas time me that she wouldn't believe you. How have you been?" I ask as the small group of us start walking to the changing rooms. I stop on the outside when I hear more voices getting ready.

"I'm definitely scoring a goal tonight," he says leaning on the doorframe, "Oh actually. Can I ask you a favor?" He asks pulling out his phone. I nod my head as he hands it over. He disappears into the locker room before walking back out with Theo.

"What are we doing?" He asks after saying a quick hello. I show him the phone with the camera open and they both immediately pose in front of the door. There's a giant sign that says 'All Stars'. I take a couple before feeling hands wrap around my waist.

"Ready to go to your seat?" Chip asks kissing my cheek. I lean into his chest as I look at the picture of Chris and Theo.

"You guys look ready to win," I smile handing him his phone, "And yes I'll leave so you guys can do whatever athletes do before big games," I tell him.

"Do you want me to walk you?" He asks.

"No, I think I'll manage. Enjoy whatever it is you're doing," I tell him as he lets go of my hand, "I'll be the one screaming the loudest," I tell them starting to walk away.

I look at my ticket and get close to the section seeing some fans lining up outside. It's so early still I'm surprised, "Ella," Arthur yells making me turn my head. The three of them are walking with food in their hands over to me. A fan starts going crazy trying to get their attention.

"Feeling like a real celebrity," I tease as we start heading to our seats. Kelsey and I sit next to each other, with Arthur and George on her left.

"We should film some content for a behind-the-scenes look at the match," Kelsey says holding her phone up. I nod my head as George takes his phone out. It's probably two hours later before the guys take the field. The time flew by with us recording and running around the empty stadium. A lot of fans came up to us and asked for pictures. It's weird dating Chip. People come up to me more to ask about the sidemen. I don't really know them but I do, so it's hard to give them the answer they're looking for. One of the giant screens turns from an advertisement to some people standing on the side of the field.

It takes a while before people we know start coming out. Kelsey smacks my arm when Chip is shown. When he sees himself on the screen he pulls his hoodie off. My mouth drops open seeing the words "I'm punching" sprawled out in black writing.

The four of us start dying as he spins around with a picture of us on the back of his shirt, "He's insane," I giggle as the fans go crazy. The camera pans off him after he blows a kiss, which Freezy pretended was for him.

"That's modern romance if I've ever seen it," George says as Arthur fake wipes away a tear.

The game was the most eventful thing I've ever watched in my entire life. Chris scored two goals and the entire stadium erupted in cheers. A little sad the Sidemen won but they raised hella money. The four of us are walking to the locker rooms, our walks swaying from the amount of beer we had. I hold open the door for them to walk through as security tries to stop us. Harry runs over to let us in. Not everyone is in the common area yet after the game. They still have to go out for the trophy.

"You were amazing," I tell Chris when he walks out, a towel resting on his shoulder. He thanks me as Chip walks over with a big grin.

"Did you like the game?" He asks with a cheeky look in his eyes.

"Where did you get that shirt?" I laugh as Chris asks.

"Etsy is a wonderful thing," he says wrapping his arm around my waist, "figured we had to give the fans some content for their favorite internet couple," he says.

"You're a dork but that's why I love you," I whisper when Chris gets called away from his other teammates.

"I love it when you say that," he says kissing me. I hate how sappy we are but I can't help wanting to be with him all the time, "you're coming with everyone to the club tonight right?" He asks as I nod my head.

"Yeah, Kelsey was going to bring over the last box of my things and get ready at our place," I tell him as his smile grows. Chip asked me to move in with him two weeks ago. It was a bit sudden cause we had only been together for roughly six months, but it made sense. We have been best friends for years so it just kind of felt right. Kelsey was really sad to see me go but she knew I'd be the happiest with him. Plus, Arthur is there 24/7.

"I also love it when you call it our place. Sounds so grown up," he says as I laugh.

"It's almost as if we aren't twenty-one-year-old kids anymore," I tease as we walk to the side of the room.

"It's kind of crazy how we ended up. We met through YouTube, became friends, and then you fell in love with me 'cause I'm amazing," he says as I shove his side. He starts laughing but continues, "And then I realized you were the one," he says emphasizing his words.

"The one, huh?"

"Eh maybe"

"Oh shut up," I whisper as he leans down.
