My name's Erin. I'm turning 21 today and my life is pretty great.

I have great friends. I have a cousin who is like a sister to me. Her names Ashlee. Ashlee Bell. I'm Erin Bell. If you look up my first name it means Irish.

Pretty cool, I guess. Ashlee's means beautiful, I guess.

We go to the same college in London. Her parents and my parents agreed. My mum and dad divorced when I was a kid. So I had to go back and forth every weekend and a lot. My dad married some woman and my mum married some man.

Their old now. I have an older brother; Ryon. He's not so nice. I have dark blonde hair and I wear glasses.

I'm kinda a skater girl. I love skating, okay? Ashlee's the author. She loves writing. Ashlee has blonde hair, dyed, and blue eyes.

I have blue too.

She wears glasses, but mostly contacts. We moved to London as soon as we graduated. She and her friends share a flat. We all do.

That's basically me. My life is full of ups and downs. I have these weird dreams where I'm married to Niall Horan from One Direction. It's sorta weird.

I don't know what they mean, but they feel so real. Maybe it's because we hang out. That's right. Niall and I hang out. It's also his birthday in a week. He's turning 22! The fans are all upset, not wanting him to grow up. No one wants the boys to grow up.

I don't think they have, yet. Their just like the Lost Boys in Peter Pan. Quite cute if you ask me.

I sat down on the couch, next to Ashlee, and we tried to come up with a video. See, I'm a YouTuber. I'm not huge, but I still make videos.

(Follow her channel. Erin Kaye Channel. It's not hard to find. Some Anime character for her cover.)

"I have this song that I want to play. And I have a perfect idea!" She said, standing. She grabbed out video camera.

"Hey, guys! I'm Ashlee! And there's Erin. We are going to dance for our video! Here we go!" She clicked the pause button and rushed to her computer.

She started typing away and then a song came on. I didn't know, but she did of course.

Ashlee has actress friends. Shea also an actress. She's really nice to everyone.

She was on The Vampire Diaries and Teen Beach 2 and the first one.

"Turn the lights off, carry me home!" The computer sang. Ashlee dances around and then pulled me up. "I don't dance." I laughed. She rolled her eyes and kept dancing. I finally joined her.

The song ended and we laughed. We looked at the camera, smiling. "New song!" Ashlee cheered, marching over to the camera. I rolled my eyes. "I hate dancing, sorry for my moves." I apologized. "You we're great!" An Irish voice said, making me jump. "Niall!" Ashlee cheered. She ran over to him and hugged him. I laughed and went over to the computer.

"Making a video again?" He asked. "Yep. Go say hi!" Ashlee chirped. He walked over to the camera and waved, smiling. "Now... We dance!" I said in a ma voice. Niall laughed, making us laugh.

Act My Age played and Niall smiled. He looked at Ashlee. She smirked at him. They locked arms and Irish danced together.

One of their arms locked together while the other was behind their back, holding hands. They danced and then the Irish song stopped, a beat coming in.

"When I'm fat and old. And my kids think I'm a joke, cause I move a little slow, when I dance." Niall sang. Ashlee joined. "I can count on you. After all that we've been through, cause I know. That you'll always understand." They sang the chorus and dances again when the Irish jig came back on.
