"Flight 457 to London is now boarding." The overhead lady called out.

Arden and I picked up our hand luggage and made our way on to the plane.
"Ok so when we get there we have got to go to this amazing restaurant. Also we are going to a party tonight at Will's friend's house." Arden said kind of quickly almost thinking I wouldn't catch the part about the party.
"What? No" I had absolutely no desire to go to a party full of new people.
"Well you know how you like Joe Sugg and all those Brits?" She asked me while picking up the sky mall mag in front of her.
"Yah..." I was curious what could lead her to that question.
"Well they will all be there. You can meet all of them. But you can't test your British accent on them to see if it's believable."
"Fine. So Joe Sugg is really going to be there?" I asked. Obviously ThatcherJoe from YouTube was absolutely gorgeous. I had a little crush on him since I started watching his videos. He was so funny.
"Yah it's at his house." Arden said nonchalantly. She had met Joe before so it wasn't a big deal.
The plane landed after what felt like ages and we headed to baggage claim.
As we were walking to the bag carousel Arden disappeared from next to me.
I turned my head around to see her hugging Will. Since he was much taller than her 5'6 standing, he completely enveloped her in a hug.

My 5'7 standing just grabbed the bags. I was starting to realize that maybe spending time with a couple wasn't the best way to get over a relationship.
Will walked over to me with Arden under his arm. He gave me a side hug with the other.
"It's good to see you again." He pulled both of us in for a group hug.
"Good to see you too Will." I broke away from the hug sesh and grabbed our luggage once more.
Since we were staying for two weeks, Arden and I rented an Air BnB place for the time being. It was a nice little apartment near Hyde park. Although the most noticeable point of it, was the fact that the walls were top to bottom, pink. I made a mental note to take a Instagram picture there while I was here.
Before we even had a chance to settle down, it was time for the party. I threw on a simple body con black dress and curled my hair. This time I actually did my make up, which consisted of winged eyeliner and a rose lipstick. Arden wore a flowy dress decked out in roses, to no surprise.
We arrived to the apartment. Before the door was opened I could here the music through the speaker.
Arden knocked. The door was opened almost immediately by Joe. He was right there in the flesh. As attractive in real life, as in his videos.
"Arden hey!" He said as he lead us both in.
"Who is your friend?" Joe asked while looking me directly in the eye with the most memorizing gaze. I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you then. Arden, Will is over there" he said whilst pointing in a general direction that I didn't even remotely pay attention to.
"Can I get you a drink?" He asked while still maintaining eye contact.
"Actually I'm fine I don't drink" I felt like an idiot for declining his offer but I loathed the taste of alcohol.
"Can I get you some water then?" He asked as he pushed his sandy brown hair back.
"Yah that would be great." I said as I followed him into the kitchen.
He poured me some water into a red solo cup.
Time passed and I had managed to meet Caspar Lee whom was just as loud and full of life in real life as he was in his videos. Everyone slowly but surely started to get more intoxicated, including Joe. People were getting just a little bit more rowdy and most of the boys were acting like lads. I didn't even see Will or Arden.
I found my way down the stair case in their apartment to look for a bathroom.
When I got to the bottom of the steps I just sat down because I was exhausted. Not just from the party but from life. Mark loves parties. He used to take me to them all the time. I hated it but I did it for him because I cared for him.
My thoughts were interrupted when some sat down next to me.
"So you're not into parties either huh?" He asked me. I recognized his voice from his YouTube channel.
Before I could answer he introduced himself.
"I'm Oli by the way".
