Hazels POV:

*the next day*

I could hardly sleep last because I was the mix of excitement and nervousness!

What if I embarrass myself? What do they want to talk to me about? What if they don't like me?

I had a shower and got dressed in a checkered shirt, black jeans and black converse. I looked in the mirror and sorted out my hair. The dye had kind of faded but I didn't really care. I debated whether to bring a bag or not, in the end I didn't I just brought my phone and earphones in my pocket.
"I can't believe this is happening," I squealed as I checked the time.
It was too late for breakfast so I didn't eat.
Ms. Mulligan came into my room as I sat on my bed,
"Hazel, the taxis here." I jumped off the bed.
"Okay, do they know the address?" I asked as I put my stuff in my pockets.
"Yeah, you're all ready to go," she said as she looked at me head to toe.
"Umm, Hazel. Good luck sweetie!" she said leaving my room.
I ran up to her, giving her the biggest hug ever,
"Thank you!" I replied as she hugged me back.

I got into the taxi really awkwardly, I hated taxis I've only been in them with Oscar never on my own.
I couldn't cope with small talk, so I just put my earphones in. It was only a 20 minute drive, when we arrived to a house.
It was really weird house but it looked cool. I walked up to it nervously. Was this really happening?
I distracted myself by buzzing for Dan and Phil. I waited for about a minute until they answered the door together.

"Hey Hazel, come in!" Dan said stepping back. They both smiled at me then each other, they had the best smiles.
"Thank you," I said, they could probably tell I was nervous.
We walked up so many stairs until we got to their apartment. I swear their house was an actual maze.
When we got in Dan and Phil were holding hands. They led me to the living room,
"Take a seat," Phil said gesturing his hand to their sofa. I sat down, then they sat down next to me.

"So, Hazel... you might be wondering why we invited you over," Phil said looking at Dan. I just nodded.
"It's because we want to get to know you better," Dan continued.
I hesitated for a moment, and then said "There's not much to know really."
Dan chuckled,
"I doubt that Hazel, just tell us everything!" Phil grabbed Dan's hand and smiled at him. I smiled at them, they were so cute together.

I began,
"Well, um... I've been in adoption for as long as I can remember. My parents died when I was only 9 months old, in a car crash. It's weird really that I never got to know them or even get to say 'Hello.'  I've lived in two orphanages, one when I was a baby and the other I've been in since I was 3. I met my best friend, Oscar, when I was 1. He recently got adopted and moved to Manchester." I paused, and looked at Dan and Phil then the floor.

"Hazel, I'm so sorry, so so so sorry," Phil said giving Dan his love eyes.
"You don't have to carry on, if you don't want to..." Dan said to me,
"I'm fine" I whispered taking a breath, I continued.

"I only went to primary school, because I was getting bullied, I still don't understand why they kicked and punched me every single day. Anyway I was homeschooled from then on. I passed my GSCE's last year, I got all A's, but I got a A* in English and Media. I can play piano, guitar, ukulele and clarinet, and love to read... And that's all there is too know about me."
Phil looked at me with a tear in his eye, he wiped it away.
"Wow Hazel..." he said, looking at Dan. Phil leant to hug me,
"I can't believe what you've been through, I'm so proud of you Hazel!"

"So... What about you guys, what's your stories?" I said looking at them both.
They looked at each other and grinned.

"There's less than you think. Umm, we met in 2009 over the internet. We've lived together since August 2011. We're both youtubers and Radio 1 presenters. That's it really," Dan chuckled, looking over to Phil.
Phil smiled back at him, Dan leant in for a kiss but stopped in the process.

"Hazel," Dan said looking really serious.
"Yeah Dan," I replied looking at him,
"There is something you do need to know," Phil looked at him and nodded.
"Hazel, we're gay," Dan told me looking at the floor, like he was embarrassed to tell me.
I looked at him for a moment and smiled.
Phil saw my reaction and smiled back, his smile was so amazing.
He tapped Dan's shoulder and whispered in his ear. Dan's face lit up and looked at me. He nodded at Phil.

I love these guys so much.
