What is life?

FUCK. Oh, fuck. I'm going to tatinof in 10 minutes and I still haven't started the 30 minute drive to the venue. I sat up from my bed as I finished straightening my hair. My heart was pounding in my chest just at the thought of seeing the loves of my life in person. Standing in front of a mirror I  examined my outfit, a long white shirt dress and nude lace up knee high boots. It wasn't something I would usually wear but I had to look hot for the most beautiful man on the earth, Dan Howell. I liked Phil, and he was very attractive not gonna lie, but something always drew me to Dan. I smoothed down my hair and took a deep breath trying to calm myself down before-

"OH MY GOD Taylor! Hurry up I've been waiting for like ten years" my best friend Olivia burst through my door, her long black hair swinging behind her.
"Alright I'm ready! You look hot" I remarked, admiring her grey sports bra, blue ripped jeans and red flannel tied around her waist.
"So do you holy shit, where did you get all that? You hate shopping!" She smiled, hand on her hip looking me up and down.
"I know but I needed something new, it was actually my mom who picked this out" I  looked one last time in the mirror.
"Niiiiiice. Well we gotta go, my moms waiting outside!" I barely had time to grab my bag before Olivia dragged me out the door.

------------------
Pulling up at the venue, we were only five minutes late thank god.
"Bye mom!" Olivia said, slamming her car door shut and dragging me out of the car.
"Hold on!" I giggled.
Since I was late there was no line and everyone had already gone into the room where you see the show. The show was first and when that was finished we were going to get a to check back into a hotel room about 5 minutes away (we had already put our bags there earlier that day) and then an hour after there was the meet and greet. Olivia and I got in just in time, a few minutes before the show started. After about 2 hours, when the show had ended everyone piled out the doors, chatting excitedly about how amazing the show was. "I nearly cried when they drew the whiskers on each other oh my god!" Olivia squealed. "I know it was so cute!" I gushed.

We left the venue and walked to the hotel. Racing up to the hotel room, I flopped down onto my bed. "In one hour they'll be right in front of us!" I sighed. Olivia sat down on the edge of her bed, on her phone. "I know it's so weird to think about". We sat on our phones for a while, before touching up our makeup and leaving, heading back to the venue. I felt a knot in my stomach, I was so nervous. Coming up to the venue there was a small line, but we didn't mind. Over about 30 minutes the line grew shorter and shorter, and we were so close I could see them. They were so... cute.... and so tall goddamn! The butterflies in my stomach erupted again as I realised that I was going to hug them and talk to them and be beside them. After another fan left, they were left standing there alone for a second, and Dan looked over to the line, scanning down until he got to me. We locked eyes, a small smirk evident on his lips. In a flash as another fan came up for their picture, he was back to innocent smiley Dan. "What the fuck he was checking you out!" Olivia turned to me and gasped. My breath was caught in my throat. "N-no he w-wasn't" I looked down, I didn't want to act like he even noticed me. "Don't even deny I see you blushing" Olivia smiled. As the line dwindled down, suddenly we were next. My heart felt like a drum in my chest, beating faster every moment. "I can't do this. Oh my god I can't do this" I whispered to my best friend, who was going from foot to foot. "You're fine you can do this" she soothed. I whispered quickly, "I can't do this. I can't do this I can't -" I was cut off by a strong voice and a whiff of chocolatey aftershave and mint into my nostrils.

"Hello!"

I raised my head, and sure enough there he was. God he was gorgeous. Ok just play this off as this is just some random guy. Be cool.
"Heyyyy Dan! What's up?" I batted my lashes and smiled a toothy smile. His eyes looked me up and down really quickly, before he walked me over to Phil, who was now being chatted up by Olivia. Poor Phil.

Once we were all together, Dan turned to Olivia and I. "What did you think of the show?" He spoke to both of us but his eyes were on me. I could feel my throat getting tighter as I struggled to breathe. "I loved it! It was so funny" I spoke, trying not to sound too excited.

"That's great!" Phil smiled, "the crowd was amazing" He made wild gestures with his hands. I wanted to squish his cheeks. Olivia giggled, which isn't something she does. Weird, she must be smitten. "Let's take a photo yeah?" Dan ran his tongue over his lips, looking at me mostly. We all agreed, and from the way we were now standing, it looked like I was going to be on the outside next to Phil, but I didn't mind, I felt a hand a hand slip around my waist. What? They usually put their arm around your shoulder! Phil what the... it wasn't Phil. It was Dan. He had swapped places with Phil when I wasn't looking, and now he was pulling me closer to him. What is life. All I wanted in that moment was melt into his arms, but I had to play it cool. I propped my arm on his shoulder. As I was Smiling like an idiot, the security took the photo of the four of us. I couldn't have been happier. "Let me see! Ugh delete it!" Olivia joked, while we all laughed. After that it was time to go, sadly. While Olivia said her goodbyes to Phil, I turned to Dan. Our fingers were just barely touching, on account of how close we were. Suddenly he pulled me into him, hugging me tightly. I felt his gentle breath on my neck. "It was lovely to meet you" he whispered. "Same" I whispered back. He abruptly pulled back, his arms still around me. He raised his brow and made a face.

"It was lovely to meet yourself too?"
Moment.Over.
"OH!" I facepalmed myself, as Dan began roaring with laughter. "That's NOT what I meant!" I giggled. As Dan and I calmed down and Olivia and I began walking away, Olivia swears, even to this day, as she looked back, she saw Dan give Phil, a look.
