~Sage's P.O.V~

Here I go, I think to myself as the taxi pulls up to the apartment building. The cab driver helps me pull out my bags carrying all my belongings. I check my phone again, waiting for a response from Dan. I had five big bags I need help with and he won't answer me! I slowly calm myself down, I was all over the place, not to mention stressed and nervous. I breathe deep and look around to find myself staring at a big, busy city. There's some sort of beauty in the business, I think to myself.

Suddenly, a loud ding from my blue iPhone 5c startles me. I look down to see a text from Dan. Finally!! I tell myself as I go to read the text. it says "Hey it's Phil, Dan's running down the stairs! He left his phone with me but we're both on our way! see you soon!:)" . I smile, excited to meet them both. I'll bet the Skype calls don't compare to the real them. Then, a random thought pops into my head. My family. I look down at a puddle on the sidewalk in front of me, and watch a tear drop down my cheek. I miss them all so much I can barely take it.

Then, two strong arms wrap around me. I look up to see one of my favorite people in the whole world. Dan Howell. "Whats wrong?" he asks me, a worrisome look in his eyes. I look down for a second, only to bring my eyes back to his. "I'm fine, no worries" I tell him, little did he know that was a huge lie. He smiles, and I fake smile back, pulling down my sleeves.

"SAGE!!!" Phil runs up, a huge smile on his face. I run into his arms and Phil whispers in my ear, "Welcome home!!" I smile as I let go. I finally have a home again. Dan and Phil each grab a large duffel bag and a suitcase, leaving me with the last duffel bag. I pick it up, reminding myself that my electronics are all in this one. Carefully, I start walking up the stairs, struggling to carry it. The boys lift my things with ease. "So, did you buy the furniture I told you to using the money I sent?" I ask them. That money that comes in every month from my inheritance. Dan stops a moment to look back at me and says, "Yep, It's all finished! The paint looks pretty amazing, if I do say so myself," he smiles. I know he painted the small apartment for me as I asked. " I really appreciate you guys being here, you know," I tell them. They both look back at me with their cheerful smiles and Phil answers, " We appreciate you too."

They open the apartment door for me, and I look in. It's absolutley beautiful! I go straight to my room and open the duffel. I take out my ipad, macbook, tripod and all of my movies. I set my macbook on my desk and my tablet on my bed. I set up my tripod by the window and plug in my phone chargers. Then, Dan and Phil walk in. "need some help?' Dan asks in his attractive british accent

Did i just say 'attracrive?'

I blush at my inner comments and answer dan " Of course, thanks so much!"

a couple hours later,we finish setting everything up. "It looks nice!" I smile at the guys as we walk around the apartment. Phil jumps in front of me with an excited smile and asks " wanna come see the apartment Dan and I are in?" I smile, looking at Dan, I simply answer "yes."

~Dan's P .O.V~

I walk beside Sage, looking at her features. Her long brown hair with bright purple tips, her perfect ivory skin, her bright blue eyes and her bright red lips. My eyes trail to her neck, the throbbing vein, her life source. I lick my lips as hils eyes trail to mine. I look at him and he gives me a dirty look, as to tell me not to think about it.

but i couldn't stop

she wouldn't sto running through my head

every second

all my mind was saying

was "Sage".


We open our apartment door. It was a little messy, but like it matters, its better than usual. I hold the door for Sage. I need to make up a nickname for her, I've always wanted to have a little inside joke nickname with her. I watch the skinny girl pull at her sleeves, holding them there with her thumbs. She seems so mysterious, like she's hiding something.

I walk in my apartment to see Phil showing Sage around. She smiles the fakest smile I've ever seen at Phil when he makes a joke. I frown. Something's up with her. I start worrying.

shes mine.

wait, what?

I feel my pupils dialate for a second, then they switch back.

I'm so confused

Did I just call Sage mine?

I shake it off then go sit on the couch. I take a few breaths then get an idea. Mario Kart. I plug in the wii then sit back down, a smile on my face. I grab my Iphone 6 and text Phil with a simle " Bring me the chocolate chips" I start up the game, listening to the familiar intro to the game, a bright smile on my face. Then, Sage walks in with a bowl of chocolate chips. She smiles and sits down. "hello, love" I say, looking over to her with a smile. She smiles back "hey, two player?" she smirks. I smirk back " I'm gonna win, you know that right?" I say, face stuffed with chocolate chips. I set up the game and off we go. It starts off with her winning a race, then me. We fight for first and second until she pulls u to first, winning the race. I frown, and she gets up and dances around, fillled with joy, eventually, I start laughing. We continue till Phil comes in. Then we play more until Sage has to go. She says goodnight and walks up to her apartment.
