Gay Dads [Adopted By Phan} (Complete!)

1 Million Milestone

SEVEN'S POV

The sky is turning pinkish-blue, becoming more a warm color now that the sun is setting.

"We only have one more week of school left," DC states. Her expression turns sad. "I gotta tell you guys something."

Artemis and I turn to her.

"I'm leaving England."

Artemis' face twists into one of panic. "What? When? Why?" DC shakes her head. "I don't know why. My parents want to live in America now. They have wanted to, for a while actually. Its only now we actually have the money to move. I always hoped and thought we never would get it, but, we did."

My eyes water. "You can't leave, DC, you just can't."

Artemis brings his knees to his chest. "That's not fair." he mumbles. "Why America?"

"My mom likes American history better than the UK's, and my dad doesn't want to be part of a country that captured people and all that." DC explains, playing with her loose shoelace. "And I'm leaving next year."

I felt a sense of relief. We still have months to go.

But months pass quickly.

My heart sinks again.

"Then maybe we should focus on hanging out during the summer as much as we can?" Artemis suggests. DC nods. "Yeah, but, my parents are those 'you-can't-hang-out-with-boys' parents."

"Um..maybe we could dress up as girls?"

Artemis instantly shakes his head. "Nope, nope, big box full of a cake that says nope. And besides, you've already been to both mine and Seven's flats. They were okay with it, weren't they?"

"They were, they might be okay with it, but they've only met you, not Seven."

"Wow, I'm super special." I say sarcastically. DC nods matter-of-factly. "Very."

"It's 7:23, I gotta get home, and you guys too I'm guessing?" I say after I get a text from Phil asking where I am. I was actually supposed to be home at 7:15.

"Yeah same." Artemis, DC, and I stood up, brushed grassed off our clothes, and started walking home.

We reach the building, DC and Artemis going their way and me going mine.

From the moment I walk in, I can tell Phil sees I'm sad.

"What's wrong, Seven?"

I shrug and throw my backpack and jacket off into my room. I walk back into the lounge and sit in my sofa crease. "DC's leaving to America in a year," I began. "I know we still have months to go but months go by really quickly. And school is almost over, we have four more days left."

"Aw, man, that's terrible. America? Dan and I are thinking about going on an American tour next year."

I jump up a bit. "Really? I've never been to America, obviously, I hear there's really cool historic sites and a place called Hot Topic there which apparently sells all the things we like."

Phil shrugs. "I don't know, we'll see."

I nod and get up to go to my room. Sitting on my bed, I take out my phone and go on Youtube. Recently, my channel got 1.2 million subscribers, which is probably only because I'm Dan and Phil's kid. I think, like, only a fourth of my subscribers actually watch my videos and enjoy them.

But I've seen some pretty terrible fan art of myself.

Smiling a little, because I love my real viewers, I decide to find some videos they've made about me. I know they have, I've seen the thumbnails for some, I just never watched them. (Not to sound like a prick or anything.)

Then I see it.

A 1 Million Subcribers Milestone video for me. I click on it, making sure my headphones were in all the way. The video starts off with a black screen, then my name appears on it, with the words One Million Subcribers underneath it.

A song starts playing, and I realize it's the mash-up of The World Is Ugly, Truce, and The Light Behind Your Eyes that I always talk about in my videos. The screen switches to me, with a filter and my eyes watery, the video of when I was explaining what happened between Phil, Dan, Peej, and I.

"I don't know why it happened, it just did."

Suddenly the screen starts showing a bunch of different people, all saying something about me or something I've done for them.

"He's Seven Howell-Lester, isn't that a pretty good explanation of why he's awesome?"

"He convinced me to dye my hair green and orange, which most people don't like, but I don't care anymore."

"I love his laugh!"

"His sneeze sounds like a kitty, it's so cute."

"I freaked out once because I saw Seven at the park, but I didn't get to meet him because I was in the car with my parents and they started driving away."

"I don't just watch Seven because of Dan and Phil, I watch him because he's different than Dan and Phil, even if some people can't see it."

"Come to Ireland, Seven, I need to meet you!"

"I love Seven Howell-Lester, but, not in the love-love way, I have a girlfriend." One boy says, stuttering when he realized how it sounded. I burst out laughing, my eyes watery from crying from all the other sentences.

When the video ended, I get up, get out my recording stuff, and decide to make a thank-you video.

The camera signals that its on. I sit down, in front of it and say,

"Wow, I really love you guys."
