Who are you? (danisnotonfire fanfic) ON HOLD

Chapter 6

 Arya emerged from the bathroom a while later and went to finish her video.  It wasn't long before she was ready to join the boys in the living room.  She trod quietly as to not disturb them.  When she reached the bottom of the stairs her phone rang.  Shit.

"Sorry."  She said to the guys, who looked like they were in the middle of filming.  She fished her phone out of her pocket and looked at the caller ID.  I was Katie.  She answered without hesitation.  "Hey, what's up?  Hold on a sec."  She said into the phone. while mouthing to Dan to ask where she could take the call, she didn't want to disrupt the filming any more than she had already.  He replied that the living room was okay, it had the best signal.  Arya walked over to the edge of the room and looked out of the window, where she could see her family's cafe.  "Shoot."

"Dad's got drunk again..."  Katie whispered down the phone.  "What should I do?"

Fuck.  Fuckity fuck.  Arya went onto automatic as she spoke to her sister, having done this a fair few times, but the concern was showing in her voice. "Can you get to Emma's house?"  Arya asked as she started picking at the window frame.

"No, she's gone to Kent for the weekend, and Stephanie's still at ballet, so she won't be home for another few hours."  The line started crackling.  Katie was most probably hiding in the bathroom.

Arya raised her hand to her mouth and pondered the options for a moment, ready to ditch the guys as soon as there seemed to be any trouble at Katie's end.  "Okay, get out of there and stay at my apartment tonight.  You've got the key, right?"

"No, mum's taken it."  Typical.  Their mum had been trying to stop Katie from visiting Arya for months.

"Oh... you'll have to use the spare then.  It's behind the fire extinguisher.  I'm not at home at the moment... and to get into the building, just ring 4B and tell the guy you're my sister.  He'll let you in."  Arya instructed her.  She glanced over at the guys and saw quizzical looks on all their faces.

"Umm... okay.  When are you going to be back then?"  Katie asked.  There was a lot of movement at the end of the line.  Katie was most probably heading to her bedroom to gather up some things.

"I'm not sure.  Just let me know when you get there okay?"  She heard a mumble of recognition.  "Alright then.  Love you, bye."

Arya had been vaguely aware of guys as she was talking to Katie, and she was now aware of a deathly silence in the room.

Arya turned to face the guys.  "Sorry for interrupting you... I'll just go sit over here shall I?"  She walked over to the sofa and quietly sat down.

"Shall we carry on then?"  Phil asked no one in particular.  The rest of them stirred and they carried on filming.  Arya had to contain herself from bursting out laughing at some points.

When they'd finished filming Dan's video, Phil and PJ disappeared off to what Arya assumed was the 'nerd room' to get the things they needed for the video, and Dan dropped himself next to Arya on the sofa.  While Chris was helping PJ set up the equipment, Phil re-entered the room, carrying something.

Arya literally jumped out of her seat and sprang over to Phil.  "Is that a twister mat?"  She asked excitedly.  She'd always wanted to play twister but she never had the chance.  "I've always wanted one of them!"  She managed to stop herself from going completely crazy in her elated state.  She suddenly looked down, discouraged.  "It's for the video, isn't it?"  She asked in a quiet voice.

PJ walked up behind her.  "Yeah.  Hold on, you mean you haven't played twister before?"

Arya shrugged.  "Guilty as charged."  She admitted.
