i woke up naturally at about 10:30 i had 13 hours sleep. this was great because now i had so much energy for tonight.

i walked into my bathroom and had a shower. when i had done i got out and got dressed into a floral top and leggings. i blow dried my hair then put it in a messy bun. i didn't put on make up as i wasn't doing anything during the day. i went downstairs and made myself some toast for breakfast. after that i went up into my room to text amy and emma.

i sent them both a text saying "TONIGHT GUYS" then switched off
my phone and grabbed my ipad. i watched a couple of youtube videos then checked my phone.

amy: I CANT WAIT

emma: IM SO EXCITED

i laughed at their replies and texted them back.

the rest of the day consisted of watching youtube, watching netflix, eating and texting emma and amy in cap locks.

5pm finally came and amy and emma knocked on my door. i opened it.

"AHHHHH" they both screamed and ran into my arms. we had a mini screaming session then had to go into my room to calm down as told by my mum.

they brought their dresses so we put them on there and then. for my make up, i put on quite a bit on face make up and a gold smokey eye with eye liner and mascara. i also put on false eye lashes and a light pink lipstick. i curled my hair and put hair spray so it would hold. i then put on my white heels and a spray of zoë sugg's perfume. i grabbed my white clutch bag. i was ready.

i went to check on the girls in the bathroom. "wow you both look gorgeous" i smiled. "thank you, so do you!" amy replied. "so do you elley, i love your dress!" emma said while packing up her make up. "thank you both" i said while leading them out of the bathroom.

they packed up their things and left them in my living room for when they come back to my house later.

"who's calling the taxi?" emma asks. "i will!" amy yells while grabbing her phone. she types in some numbers.

"hello! could we have a taxi please?" she says while holding her phone up to her ear. "{insert elley's address} please." she continues. the person on the other end of the phone says a few words. "okay 10 minutes? that's great thank you!" she answered. the voice said something else and she hung up.

"10 minutes" amy stated. we all just ended up taking selfies for our instagrams during the time. then we stood outside to wait for the taxi.

"over here!" emma yelled expecting the taxi driver to hear her. the taxi pulled up and we got in. "where do you girls want to go?" a man probably in his 50s asked. "{insert joe and caspar's address} please!" i said while putting on my seatbelt. we were all sat at the back of the taxi.

it took about 20 minutes to get there and as soon as we pulled up i felt excited butterflies in my stomach. amy squealed as soon as we got out the car. i looked up at their apartment. wow it was big. "im so excited!" emma yells while yanking mine and amy's arms and pulling us to the door of the apartment. i knock on the door. "guys act cool" i say fixing my hair.

the door opened and a not so very sober caspar stood there. "guys...hey" caspar said as he tried to keep his balance. me and amy looked at eachother trying not to laugh while emma shot caspar a smile. "wow you look hot" he said while scanning us all with his eyes. "thank you!" amy chirped. "come in" caspar commanded while ushering us through the door. i step in first while pulling an excited face to amy and emma.

caspar leads us to the living room where the party is going on. we all sit down on the sofa while taking in what's around us.

youtubers. youtubers everywhere. to my right there was tanya and jim having a conversation with zoe and alfie. to my left there was marcus and niomi talking to dan and phil and behind me oli white and joe weller. there was a couple of people i didn't recognise but there was no sign of joe.

caspar had disappeared by this point. "guys oh my god look at dan" emma squealed while clenching her fists. amy rolled her eyes. i laugh. "go talk to him" i suggest. "should i?" emma asks. i nod.

i wish i was that confident. it takes me literally a week to pluck up the courage to talk to a boy i like.

"do i just like tap him on the shoulder or something?" emma asks while standing up. "DAN!!" amy yells. she turns around to face the wall behind her. i turn around too while laughing. emma stands there red in the face.

dan walks over to us while me and amy turn around trying not to laugh. "did you want anything?" dan says sweetly but awkwardly. "i...err..." emma stutters. "i like your videos" emma blurts out. amy laughs and dad looks at her funnily. "aw thanks!" he replies smiling.

amy taps me on the shoulder. "look who's over there" she whispers while emma and dan are talking. i turn my head to see joe walking from upstairs looking flawless. butterflies fill my stomach. i smile at myself going red in the face. "go and talk to him!" amy suggests. "no way" i reply crossing my arms. "he invited you to the party elley" she implied. "yeah but-" i cut myself off while looking at joe. he was saying something to caspar and caspar was pointing this way. shit. i turn around. "what is it?" amy asks. "joe's coming over here" i say.

why was i so nervous?

i felt a tap on my shoulder so i turned around. "hey elley!" joe says while putting his arms out for a hug. i stand up from the sofa to hug him. "awwwww" caspar says while taking another can of beer from the table and opening it. "do you want a beer, wine, coke, water?" joe asks awkwardly while looking at me and amy. "i'll just have a coke. i think i want to remember this night!" i laugh. "me too!" amy says. "okay!" joe replies and walks to the kitchen area. "hey sorry to interrupt but i couldn't help but notice your beauty from across the room" phil declared to amy. "oh wow, errr... thank you" amy replies going red in the face. "do you want to come over and talk to me and dan and i think... your sister?" he asks. "erm..sure!" amy replies. phil glances at me and smiles. i smile back. amy walks off with phil so now i'm left with caspar.

"i'm so single" caspar exclaimed while looking at his beer. "me too but we'll both find someone" i smile while patting caspar on the shoulder. "i hope so" he replies while taking a sip of his beer. this boy needs to calm down with the drink jeez.

"here you go!" joe says walking up to me from out of no where handing me a glass of coke. "thank you joe" i smile. "where's your friend?" he asks. "she's with phil" i laugh. he puts the coke down and takes the beer in his hand which he then opened.

then the door burst open. "HEYY" a bunch of girls run in, screaming. they look about in their middle 20s and like they've tried way too hard with their appearance. "my girls!" caspar yells walking up to them. more and more walk in till the room is literally full.

the room starts to feel like it's closing in and my heart starts to beat faster. i get a little bit light headed and start to feel sick. no, not a panic attack please.

i clench my fists hoping the symptoms would go away but they get worse. i start to find it hard to control my breathing.

"are you okay darling?" joe says while looking at me concerned. "joe help" i say finding it hard to catch my breath. "panic attack, right, got you" joe whispers while taking my hand and leading me downstairs into what i think is his bedroom. "sit on the bed my love" joe says while shutting his door. i start to feel better and i can control my breathing more. "how did you know?" i ask taking a couple of breaths in between. "my sister has them all the time" he sighs while sitting on the bed next to me. he puts his arm round me, which to be honest, made me feel 95% better. the butterflies come back. "do you feel any better?" he asks squeezing my shoulder. "yeah i do, thank you so much joe" i smile. "ive not had one for ages, i usually got them at school and college when it was crowed" i say. "that's the same with zoe, she gets them at party's at lot" he says sympathetically. "they're not fun" i nervous laugh while standing up from joe's bed. joe stands up with me.

"thank you so much for coming" he smiles looking into my eyes. "no problem" i reply while feeling my cheeks starting to burn up. "i never got to tell you how gorgeous you look tonight" a wave of butterflies goes through my entire body. this boy knows how to make a girl happy wow. "thank you so much joe" i stammer. there was an awkward pause then joe looks into my eyes. he cups my chin and pulls me closer to him.

is he going to kiss me !???
