Dan's POV

    Haylee was pacing nervously beside me as I waited to go onstage. I peeked around the corner and saw Phil and Chassidy, both ready to record this. I wanted the speech I was about to make put on YouTube so that those who weren't here could see it as well. Finally Mitchell told me I could go up. "Hi. So a lot of you know me as danisnotonfire on YouTube. If you were at Phil and I's performance yesterday, you'll know that I proposed to my girlfriend, Haylee Wright." I motioned for her to join me and slowly she made her way up. "Now, Haylee is a YouTuber as well and she did a meet up today. However what happened at that meet up should never happen to anyone, YouTuber or not! Haylee is an amazing wonderful girl and I love her with all my heart. It hurts me to know that fans of her and fans of me and Phil would be so mean to her just because of who she's dating and engaged to. This goes for any YouTuber! You may not like something your favourite person does, but that doesn't give you a right to publicly or privately harass them be it in person or on the Internet! So. That's all I have to say, but please, if you see us around, be nice. Like I said, that goes for any of us. Even your favourite YouTuber has feelings, so please respect that." I finished and handed the microphone to Mitchell. Slowly, one by one people began to clap until the room had exploded in applause. I smiled and gave a small wave before grabbing Haylee's hand and together we walked off stage. 

    "That was incredible!" Phil cried when we met up afterwards. "People near us were actually crying!" 

    "Yeah! I saw a few girls looking really embarrassed and I guess they must've been at Haylee's meet up." Chassidy agreed. A few minutes later, people began to come up to us, all of them apologising to Haylee for being rude to her. We took pictures with them and finally made our way back to our hotel rooms.

Haylee's POV

    I decided to go back to the lobby for a bit, taking my camera in case I wanted to film something. Girls ran up to me, apologising for being rude. I told them it was okay and they began to fangirl with me over my engagement. We took pictures together and then they left, letting me walk around. I was still in shock over what Dan had done for me. Finally settling down in one of the chairs, I sighed and turned on my camera. 

    "Hi guys. So, I'm in the lobby of the hotel in Orlando. It's Sunday night and Playlist is about over. Dan will be flying out Tuesday and I'll be leaving Wednesday. Chassidy and Phil are staying the rest of this week and leaving Wednesday of next week. It's going to be a bit...different with just two of us in the flat but I'm planning on just sleeping. Playlist has been...fun. I'll upload a video later this week explaining it a bit more and I'll post some footage I got. Thanks guys! Bye." I shut off the camera and headed back to the hotel rooms. I knocked on Dan and Phil's door and waited. Dan answered. 

    "Hi Hays." He whispered, a smile forming on his face. He pulled me in for a hug and I collapsed into his embrace. He felt so safe and warm. We stepped into the room and Dan shut the door. He pulled me to the couch and we curled up on it. My head rested against his chest as he placed his head atop mine. He gently rubbed small circles on my back as he hummed one of my favourite songs. My eyes felt heavy and I slowly drifted off to sleep. 

---------------------////-----------------------

    I stretched lightly and opened my eyes. I glanced up to see Dan still awake, staring off into space absentmindedly. "Dan?" I whimpered. He jumped slightly and took notice. 

    "Hey! Good morning, sleepy!" He chuckled. He kissed me gently as I sat up slowly, moving so he could stretch. 

    "Whoa, have we really been here all night?" I asked, yawning. 

    "Not really, it was midnight when you fell asleep and it's seven now so you've only been asleep for a few hours." He answered, wincing as he stretched. "I am too tall for this couch." 

    I laughed and got up. "Wait where's Phil?"

    "Um I'm not sure. Either in his room or in you and Chassidy's room." He replied. I nodded and tiptoed into the back part of the hotel room. Phil was asleep, curled up in a ball. I turned a winked at Dan, who winked back as a smirk came across his face. On the count of three, we launched ourselves onto the bed, landing on top of Phil. 

    "THE HECK?!" Phil yelped, waking up instantly. He tried to move out from under us, but was stuck. "Guys!" He moaned. "Get off!" We all fell into a fit of laughter and Dan and I climbed off of Phil. 

    "Good morning!" I greeted him. 

    "Morning," he yawned. "What time is it?!" 

    "About seven thirty. Come on, we've got things to do!" Dan chirped. We left Phil to get ready and I headed over to mine and Chassidy's room. 

    "Morning Chass. It's time to get up!" I called. She poked her head around the door, flat iron in hand. 

    "I'm almost ready! What are we doing today?" She asked.

    "I'm not quite sure, I think we're going shopping. I know we're saving sea world for tomorrow but maybe hitting up Universal later." I replied. She nodded and focused on finishing getting ready. Moments later, she skipped out of the room to go greet Phil good morning.

Dan’s POV

     After a quick breakfast, we all headed to Universal to visit Harry Potter World. Haylee and Chassidy were freaking out as they’d never seen it before. Phil and I again got confused for workers or part of the attraction and couldn’t help but laugh. Phil and Chassidy decided to hit up the ride and to go to the candy store, so I took Haylee to the wand shop and to get some Butterbeer. “Wait, what is in this?” Haylee asked, eyeing it suspiciously.

      “Don’t worry, it won’t kill you or make you drunk. It’s sort of like a soda.” I laughed.

Phil’s POV

      I searched frantically for Chassidy. She’d run off right after getting off the Hogwarts ride. “Chassidy?!” I yelled, trying desperately to find her. “CHASS!” I spotted her fiery hair through the throngs of people and I began to push through the crowd to get to her. I grabbed her and spun her around.

      “Why did you run off like that?! You could’ve gotten hurt! Do you realize how worried I was about you?!” I yelled. Fear set into her eyes and I remembered how Nathan had screamed at her. “Oh Chass…” but it was too late. Crying, she broke from my grasp and ran off again. I followed her for as long as I could, but eventually I lost her.

Chassidy’s POV

     Phil had yelled at me. I couldn’t believe he’d do that to me. When he’d grabbed my arm, he’d grabbed it a bit too tight and I knew I’d have a bruise. I wiped the tears from my eyes so I could see as I wound through the crowd. Finally I saw Haylee and Dan walking out of the wand store. I ran and through my arms around Dan in a hug and sobbed into his sweatshirt. “Chassidy?” I heard Haylee call. I ignored her. Usually, I wouldn’t hug Dan. It was part of my trust issues, but right now I knew he wouldn’t hurt me and I needed a hug more than anything. “What happened?” She asked, peeling me off of a slightly startled Dan.

      “P-Phil yelled at m-me! He grabbed my a-arm really h-hard!” I explained, still sobbing. Haylee hugged me and I broke down again on her shoulder. She put an arm around me and led me to the seating area, Dan following behind us. “I hate him! He’s just like Nathan!” I cried. I heard a gasp and looked up to see Phil standing not far away. The look in his eyes told me that he’d heard everything. What had I done?
