I was sat at a panel which I was doing with Phil and a few other youtubers, the problem was in a room full of people i only ever had eyes for him. I couldn't concentrate on any questions I was being asked and the constant screams from the crowd were starting to give me a headache. I wanted it to all be over, what I wouldn't give to be tucked up in my own bed with my laptop and scrolling mindlessly through the Internet.

"Dan?" Anthony snapped me out of my trance

"Yeah, sorry what was the question?" I stuttered nervously scanning the crowd

"What do you owe your YouTube success to?" He asked sending me a comforting smile

"Em" I glanced at Phil, whenever these type of situations used to occur and I had no clue what to say Phil would just smile at me, it always reminded me to stay calm and to breathe, now he wasn't even looking at me. "I'm not sure" we're the only words to escape my lips.

"I'll come back to you" Anthony gave me a smile and began asking questions to everyone else.

Luckily enough he didn't come back to me nor did he ask me another question throughout the panel. I was rather grateful he didn't I just wanted to leave.

I waved at the crowd and made my way off stage, as soon as we were all out of sight I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned around and a frown appeared on my face as soon as I saw him.

"Dan I got your email"

"That's why I sent it Phil" I replied harshly

"I know, are you sure I can't change your mind?"

"Something else has come up that's why I can't attend" I lied

"What has?" He didn't believe me, I mean I was lying.

"Family stuff" I gritted my teeth

"Well if that 'family stuff' gets cancelled give me a call but I'll need to know in the next month cause you know only 2 months till the big day!" He informed me cheerfully

"Yeah sure" I nodded my head and walked away.

As I was leaving Anthony flung his arm around my neck

"Hey Dan" he laughed

"Hi" I just wanted to be home, I didn't even want to spend time with my friends.

"You alright?" He asked

"Yeah" getting used to lying aren't we?

"If you're sure" he sounded concerned

"Yeah I am" I forced a smile and made up a bad excuse as to why I couldn't hang out.

I reached my hotel room, the silence was so loud.

"One more day Dan" I told myself "just one more day and then you don't need to talk to him ag- shit! The gaming channel. how did I forget about that" I rolled my eyes, how stupid could I be.

The only thought that came to mind was pulling the plug on the gaming channel. It made most sense at this point, at least it did for me.

I pulled out my phone and opened up my conversation with Phil

I'm done with the gaming channel, I just don't really have time for it anymore.

I hovered over the send button before I made my final decision and pressed it. I sighed and waited anxiously for a reply.

It didn't take long until I heard a buzz, I examined my phone.

K.

What! The! Fuck! Does!K! Mean?
