About half way here it started to storm. Bright lightning lit up the sky as we ran home laughing and dancing in the rain. It was about 5 :30 P.M. when we walk up the complex stairs. " I don't like all this physical activity," Dan whines.
" Hey," I turn to face him. " I gave you a piggyback ride up 6 blocks."
" That was fun," He smirks. " That one lady was all *May the power of Christ compel you!" on us." I laugh along with him. We reach his flat, walking right in.
" It smells like ass in here," I cover my nose. Dan's frowns and does the same. We search the flat. No one's here. " I'm going to go up to mine to check if anyone's up there." I sat to Dan, who nods. I walk up the stairs, additively afraid of what could be in my unlocked flat. I creek the door open. As if that thought queued the lightning, the lights flickered on and off, so that's a good sign. luckily, the Light returned quickly. I saw a leg sticking out from behind my counter. I want to go run over, but failed miserably tripping over my flip flop.
" Phil? Phil?" I tap him frantically. His head sticks up.
" What?" He say sleepily.
" You ass!" I slap the back of his head. " You scared the shit strait out of me!'
" What did I do?" He asks groggily. His breath reeked of whiskey.
" Jesus! Phil are you drunk?" I rage.
" I feel like we've had this conversation before." He giggles. I help him up and bring him down the stairs. I knock on the door to Dan and Phil's flat.
" You find anyone?" Dan asks through the door.
" Oh Hai Dan!" Phil giggles. Dan opens the door and smirks.
" Damn Phil! Your MC Hammered!" Dan laughs. I grab Phil's wrist and pull him into the flat, right to his room.
" Sit," I scold. Phil fake pouts. I walk back into the lounge.
" I'm a boss ass bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch," Phil sings loudly.
" I'm never seen him this drunk," Dan smirks. " Cheeky bastard." Phil stumbles out of his room with no shirt on. Dan and I just stare blankly.
" Sorry, my shirt was irritating me," He smirks. He starts to walk towards us. He falls. Asleep. Dan and I face each other and do rock paper scissors. I lose. I grab Phil's foot and drag him to his room. I drop his foot like a hot potato. Phil grunts from impact. I smirk and close his door. I walk into the lounge. A loud crash of lightning hits the transformer outside. The lighting disappears, turning it pitch black. How is it already 9:00 P.M?
" El?" Dan's voice whispers through the darkness.
" Yeah?" I reply.
" Where are you?" He asks. I walk towards his voice. I trip over my flip flop again, bracing for my body slamming into the floor. Instead of falling though, someone catches me. The emergency lights flicker on. The low light shows i'm inches away from Dan's face. I stare into His enchanting brown eyes. I help myself to my feet.
" You should probably call your girlfriend make sure she's safe," I smile at him and walk to the door. Tears pours down my face.
" Ellie?" Dan asks.
" Yeah?" I choke, not turning around.
" I love" Dan stutters. I love you. " Spending time with you. Today was fun." My heart shatters from the little hope of his emotion towards me. I close the door and race up the stairs. Once i'm on my flat, I break down. I just know realize,
I am in love with Dan Howell.
~ 10 hours later ~
I Stare at the ceiling waiting for sleep to drag me into a different darkness. Off course, it never comes. I get up and take a quick shower. I Race around my room putting on jean shorts, a white tank top, and hot pink flip flops. I grab my camera, sun glasses, and my Phone? Where's my Phone? Oh well. I walk out the door and to the small park. I snap shot pictures of the sun rising over the pond. I remove my flip flops and stick them in the cool water. I fall back, defeated. all night, I convinced myself I didn't love him. How could anyone love you?
" Why can't it all go away?" I mumble. I grab my camera and walk back to the complex. I go on my laptop and check my email. The one that caught my attention the most was the pageant one.
Ms.. Elizabeth Kate York,
You are entered in Mrs. London 2014! You must have Casual, Evening, and swim suit. You must also have one performable talent. We're thrilled to have you!
A talent? Oh god. Really? I suck at everything. Wait, this is Mrs. London 2014?!? This is SHIT! I rush out the door with the check Dan gave me from Miss London. Well, I have a new swimsuit and casual clothes. I guess I get to spend 2,000 on the gown. I go to the fanciest dress shop I spotted whilst walking through town. I step in. I automatically spot a dark blue evening gown. I try it on, it fits perfectly. I look at the tag 1,999.99. I go to the desk and pay for it. I race back to the flat, trying to avoid getting mugged. On my way up the stairs, Dan pops out of his flat.
" Hey, just got the," Dan looks at the bag. " Tickets for the show."
" What?" I ask him.
" What's in the bag?" He points.
" A dress retard!"
" Oooo!" He claps. " Can I see it?"
" No," I smirk. " You have to wait tomorrow." I giggle. Dan pouts. I walk back up to my flat and go on my email to over look the rules of the pageant. I scroll all the way down. In small letters, it reads pagent is July 6, 2014. I laugh to myself, nice job Phil. I get up and walk back down to their flat. I just walk right in. I knock on Phil's door.
" Wwwhat?" He groans. I open the door to see him lying face down on the ground.
"Why did you get drunk again?" I whine. " I needed you last night bad." He sits up and looks at me.
" I didn't drink last night," He says. I laugh, until I realize he's dead serious.
" OK," I look at him weirdly. " Did you drink anything period?"
" No. Come to think of it, I don't remember anything from last night."
" Dan!" I call for him. He walks in, looking at the two of us. " Can I see your phone?"
" I can't find it," Dan frowns. " Which sucks because I had like 1,000 on flappy bird."
" Oh?" I say, confused.
" While you two are both here," Dan smiles really wide " I want to ask you something."
" Yes?" Phil lifts his head a bit.
" I'm going to propose to Candy," Dan grins.
