It had been a few months since me and Tommy started dating. Dan and Phil were very supportive about everything. I balanced time for school and Tommy well and it was all working out great. My birthday was coming up soon and I was being told to write birthday lists but there was nothing I could think of. I never used to write down what I wanted for my birthday because I'd never get it, and really it was beyond what anyone at the orphanage could get. A family. A loving place. I got that already so I always struggled when being asked what I wanted. I found a few pieces of make up to please people and a couple of clothes but nothing major.
"Not a new phone? A new laptop?" Dan asked when I presented the list.
"Nope" I replied, "I'm happy with everything i have"

A few weeks later and it was my birthday tomorrow. We had a lazy night and Tommy came round, we watched various films, ate pizza, nachos and then Dan ran to Starbucks and we sat talking about life until he got back.
"Shit" we heard a voice say and the door shutting quietly then locking. I ran to the hallway to see Dan switching all the lights off and miming hushing sounds at us.
"What?" I mouthed.
"Fans!" Dan mouthed. We all stood stunned in silence.
"Sit up against the door so they can't see the shadows through the glass" Phil said. There was frosted glass down two panels of the front door, they'd easily see our shadows in front of the window. So we sat lined up with our backs to the wall listening.
Phil shot our bodyguard Jake a text warning him about the situation. He replied with 'I'm on my way'. This was rather exciting but scary. We never knew I'd they were dangerous because some could be. We heard footsteps approaching up the stairs.
"I'm sure he ran up here" I heard a coarse girls voice nearing.
"Oh Dan!!!! Come and say hi" another called.
"Let's go to the top floor then come and knock on all the doors, any that don't answer we'll come back tomorrow" the first girl said. We winced quietly. Their voices and footsteps passed us and we whispered to each other.
"What happened?" Phil asked Dan.
"I was in the queue and they were in the corner of the room, I took selfies and signed things for them but then explained I needed to come home and politely left them. I was crossing outside and they came running down the street calling me so I ducked behind a car and ran into the building" Dan replied, "there was nowhere else to go"
"It's okay, Jake's outside, he said to go into a room and sit quietly but remove everything that could possibly look like our house from the hallway" Phil explained.

We spent a few minutes pulling Nintendo character magnets off the radiator, taking a family photo off the wall and shutting the door to leading rooms, Phil explained that Jake was going to come and pretend to live there when they knocked on the doors. He'd never been seen in vlogs or at conventions before so he was a new face. I just hope it worked out.
