Your POV-

Once Dan and I had finished our cereal I volunteered to take the empty bowls back into the kitchen "no I can do it" Dan picked up the bowls and began to stand up, I didn't have enough energy to argue with him so I let him take them out.

Just as he was about to open the door it burst open to reveal PJ and Adam standing there in a wide stance with their arms on their hips and both of them had a wide smile on their faces. "We have a surprise for you!" PJ beamed but his enthusiasm wasn't returned by Dan, or me for that matter. "Fine, just get it over with" he rolled his eyes and started to tap his feet impatiently. "Here" Adam removed his right arm from behind his back and I saw his phone gripped in his hand, it appeared to already be turned on. PJ took the dishes from Dan and Adam handed him the phone.

I got up off the bed and made my way to Dans side so I could see what was on the phone. When I finally managed to get a decent view of the screen I was greeted with a long thread of messages directed towards Dan. 'We love you Dan! I know we may be a bit ott at times but we still love you!', 'don't ever doubt yourself Dan! You're beautiful inside and out!' All of the messages were lovely and supportive and we didn't see a single hateful one.

"Sorry for being horrible to you yesterday" PJ apologised but Dan just kept scrolling through tweet after tweet with a grateful smile on his face, he needed these words of encouragement. "I accept your apology" Dan mumbled, he was still infatuated with the tweets, liking every single one he read. "We support and love you regardless of what you chose to wear" I looked up at Dan who seemed to be tearing up at the sudden wave of affection. "I love you guys so much" Dan threw his arms around PJ and Adam and I just stood back, watching them all hug each other tightly, it was nice to see them all getting along again.

"Come on Y/N, we aren't leaving you out" Dan looked back at me and waved me over to join them, I stepped towards them shyly, I was afraid that if I joined in the group hug then I would ruin the moment. Once I was in arms reach Dan wrapped his arm around me and pulled me towards them. I was slightly awkward at first but then I just melted into it, it oddly satisfying being in a group hug.

"Can we stop fighting? It's not fair on Sam, or us" we all dispersed and I had to agree with PJ, it seems like we have just been ignoring them a lot lately. "I agree, I might just go check on them now if that's ok" I stated, I haven't been talking to them enough, I need to catch with them. "That's fine, I'll see you in a minute love" after planting a small kiss on Dan's forehead I left to check on sam.

"Hello? Sam?" I knocked on their door before opening it a little bit and looking around the door "hey Y/N, come one in" I opened the door fully and stepped in their room, it seemed to be oddly clean. I was suspicious. I couldn't even see any of their things. "So, what have you been up to?" I sat down at the end of their bed but they just sighed. "Y/N I've absolutely loved living here don't get me wrong, you've all been lovely towards me but.." what? What are they trying to say? Is this about everyone ignoring them? "I have to move out" that sentence hit me like a ton of bricks, "why?".

"I can't stay here any more, it's not good for me" I was close to tears, this was all my fault, I haven't been treating sam with the respect they deserve "I love it here don't get me wrong but my social media is killing me" they groaned, holding their head in their hands.

"Non stop questions about you and Dan, if anyone else in the house is dating each other and just generally irrelevant bullshit" I held my hand on their shoulder and they looked up at me, eyes beginning to water. "I understand" as much as I hated to see them go it's up to them what they do with their life, I can't stop them. "Just remember, we will always welcome you with open arms". Before sam started to sob they just collapsed into my arms and I embraced them, feeling a few of my own tears fall from my eyes. "I love you all so much"

Sorry this chapter is late I got a writer block so I just decided to spice shizzle up by getting rid of sam.. sorry bout that
