This is it guys. ;_;
"Bonjour!"
"Hello Internet"
"Hey guys"
"Sup!"
We were all squished onto the sofa in the corner of my 'studio' as Dan called it. It wasn't much of an office, I mean it has a desk for my Mac and the camera and lighting setup in one corner, but is more of a studio really. We had decided to film a video together, Phil, Katie, Dan and I, and for some reason they all wanted to do it in here. "I like your studio better than Dan's, Izzy, its more colourful and fun!" Phil had told me and Katie nodded in agreement. "What's wrong with white walls and black furniture?" Dan had asked, and we just laughed.
"Also I like Izzy's fairy lights on the walls." Katie said and Dan sighed. "Finnneee."
"So! Today, I have some special guests in case you hadn't noticed! I'm joined by Daniel Howell, Philip Lester and Katie Lester. I don't even know why I'm saying this they all know you anyways." I laughed.
"Shut up Izzy. So today we have an announcement to make!" Katie interrupted me and I scowled at her.
"Yes we do. We decided we'd do a day in the life, all of us together, the kids included!" Phil continued. "And, coincidentally, we filmed it yesterday. Yesterday was eight years since Phil and I met those idiots," Dan gestured to Katie and I, so I slapped his cheek softly, giggling. "Hey! Anyway, eight years since then, six years since we started YouTube and four years since we all moved away from England. So to 'celebrate', as Izzy put it, in the video we looked through old photos and reacted to them. Enjoy laughing at our embarrassment."
I switched off the camera and sat back down, stretching my legs onto Dan's lap. "Hey!" He complained and I just smirked, sticking my tongue out at him. "I guess I'd better get editing," I sighed. "Wait! How's about me and Philip over here edit the day in the life, while you and Daniel sort out the format and stuff?" Katie offered and I nodded. "Thanks, I've done over half of the day in the life so you only really need to do the photo reactions and that's about it. If you use Dan's laptop or something, you can just stay here."
Katie nodded. "I'm gonna check on Leah a sec, see if she's woken up yet." She said and left to check up on where Leah was sleeping in her carseat in Aria's room. She returned a minute or so later, also carrying Dan's laptop. "Still asleep! The other three are in Alex's room, they're all fine too." We all sat in silence for a while, Dan and I working on the intro and outro for the video while Katie and Phil finished off the day in the life.
"DONE!" I yelled, high-fiving Dan who laughed and wrapped his arm round my waist. "SAME!" Katie yelled, fist-bumping Phil who grinned. "Right, lets do this thang!" We put the clips together, finally finishing the video, and I started to upload it. I left it uploading and turned to the others. "Who wants pizza?"

We were playing with the kids on the playroom when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" I volunteered, skipping through and opening the front door- and squealing. "Grace!" I hugged her tightly. "Hey! So, before you ask why I'm here, I came over for work but they then decided they don't need me here so soon so they're giving me a day off tomorrow so I thought I'd come say hi! Oh and I brought a surprise."She turned round- and I saw who was behind her. "Oh my god. My boys!" I cried, running barefoot down the drive to where Louis, Niall, Harry and Liam stood. I hugged them all, "Good job we hasn't ordered the pizza yet, there wouldn't be enough!" I showed then in to the others and everyone hugged and said hi. I couldn't have been happier; the gang was back together, properly, at last.

I sat in the treehouse, swinging my legs over the edge and looking up at the starry night sky, Jaffa curled up on my lap. It was so beautiful, I almost wanted to stay there forever. I looked over to our house. Through the patio doors I could see everyone sat around the table, laughing and chatting. The kids were in the playroom, running into the conservatory then back into the playroom.
Everyone looked so happy.
I thought back to eight years ago, when Dan Howell and Phil Lester were two complete strangers to me who'd just moved in opposite. When Louis Tomlinson wasn't a world-famous pop star, just my very best friend. When I was just an ordinary, talkative teenage girl. Yet now, its as if the whole word knows who we are- not just me, but Dan, who ended up my husband, Phil, Katie, and the lads. And as much as I miss how it used to be, when I could hip over a wall and be on my best friends drive, I wouldn't have wanted it to end up any way other than this.
Even if it takes five years for me to finally see Louis again.
"You alright up there, Little Miss Thoughtful?" A voice came from below me and I looked down to see none other than Lou himself under my feet. "Hey. No I was just thinking about how far we've all come." I said softly and he nodded, climbing the ladder and flopping down next to me, stroking Jaffa before staring up at the stars.
"It still hasn't sink in yet, you know." He cut into the silence a couple minutes later. "What hasn't?" I asked. "Well, if you asked me if I was in that One Direction band, I'd be like how do you know me, or even us? Then I remember, I'm famous. But I'm just me!" He laughed and I smiled, lying down next to him. "I know. I don't get half the attention you do, but when someone recognises me or Dan on the street, I'm all like, how do you know my name? Then I remember, people watch YouTube, they see me on it and they love me. God knows why, but they do."
We lay in silence for a few more minutes, before I sat back up and looked through the doors again, where Niall and Dan were laughing together, and Harry, Liam, Katie, Grace and Phil were deep in conversation. "Lou?" I spoke, glancing at him to see he'd sat up too. "Do you miss this too? I asked and he nodded sadly. "Yeah, I do. I really do." I smiled, looking back at the door. "Lets make this tradition. Once a year, meet up and do this. Agreed?" I spoke. "Agreed." He grinned.
We sat there a little longer before Lou jumped to his feet. "C'mon, I believe there's pizza to be eaten." He reached out his hand and I took it, being pulled to my feet before following him down the ladder. We joined the others, laughing and joking just like the old times, when we were eighteen. We'd had our ups and downs together, some stupid and some not, but that's what made us this close, even after all these years of not seeing each other. It wasn't perfect, but it was ours.
And I wouldn't have had it any other way.
