Family

-71-

"So where are you moving to?" I asked, my heart heavy with sadness, I can't believe sam is actually leaving "you know Phoenix? Well he's invited me to move in with him and a couple of his mates a few streets away" at least they'll be living close by, it's not like they're going to be moving out of London.

"Does Seb know you're moving?" They nodded in response, I know I'm upset about them moving but I think PJ, Phil and Chris will be more upset, they've all spent more time together. "What about the others?" They rubbed their eyes and groaned, I just realised that they're probably stressed out about moving and me questioning them probably isn't helping. "I'll tell them later, I still have a lot of stuff to pack" I thought I might try lightening the load for them, it's the least I could do "I could tell them for you if you want" she sighed and nodded sleepily, here goes nothing.

"Hey love! How's sam?" I walked sluggishly back to Dan with a long frown on my face, PJ and Chris noticed my expression and the way I was carrying myself immediately but Phil and Dan were oblivious. "Are you ok?" Chris asked me softly, he held his hand out to me in a caring gesture "Sam is moving away" I started to choke back tears, it still seemed a little surreal that they weren't going to be here anymore. "What?" Phil muttered, understanding why I looked so upset "are they ok?" I nodded in response, if I tried to speak I would almost definitely start crying. "I'm going to go talk to them, see if they need any help packing" Dan stated before leaving us to talk with Sam.

"So when are they leaving?" Phil, Chris, PJ and I all made our way into the living room, still trying not to get too emotional "I'm not sure but it will be soon" we all sat down at random points around the room, all of us hunched over and with long frowns on our faces. "What should we do?" PJ asked, that got me thinking, since Sam is leaving we should send them off with a bang. "We should throw them a goodbye party!" Phil exclaimed, looks like we were thinking on the same brain waves "Phil Lester! You're a genius!" Chris yelled triumphantly, I was going to say I was thinking the same thing but Phil looked so happy I didn't want to steal the spotlight from him.

"Maybe we could invite some of their favorite youtubers? As a goodbye present" I suggested, soon everyone's depressed expressions had done a total 180 degree flip and had been replaced with bright, beaming smiles. "Yes! It will be the perfect way to say goodbye" we all grabbed our laptops and phones from our rooms and for the next 15 minutes we started to plan out the party, Phil was on location, I was on invited and PJ and Chris were doing music and food. I'm not sure how the small gathering hat we had initially planned turned into a full blown rave, Phil had decided that the best location to hold the party would be at a local bar and I had invited over 50 different people, not including Sam, Dan, Phil, PJ, Chris and I.

"How's the food going?" I asked, hoping that they hadn't bought too much, since the party is going to be at a bar they'll probably have food there. "We got a couple of multipack crisps and some drinks too" ok we're good, imagine if they had bought like 50 crates of crisps, we would've been screwed. "Ok, should we leave the planning here for now and see to Sam?" I suggested and everyone nodded in agreement, we can't let Sam get suspicious of anything otherwise it will spoil the whole thing. "And remember, don't tell Sam about anything, don't even give them a hint" I pointed my finger and stared at them all, wanting to make sure they knew I was serious. "Ok and we can keep planning the party either tonight or tomorrow" Chris stated, we all nodded in agreement and continued to file out the room in a line and down the hall to Sam's room, I couldn't wait to see her reaction.

Im sorry to say that updates on both date night and family will be a bit slow as my parents have been fighting a lot and are now considering divorce, I will try to update as frequently as I possibly can but I'm finding it difficult to keep to the one update every 2 days system that I've been using. I hope you can forgive me💙
