Two Sides of the World { A Zalfie Fanfic }

There was a loud knocking at my door early the morning that we were going to go to the airport. I jumped out of bed and ran to the door to answer it with a large smile on my face. We were going to America today, I was so excited. 

I pulled open the door and was immeadiately greeted by a hug from Phil. I was so glad that we were friends. They both piled all their luggage into my house and shut the door. There was a certain anxiety and excitement around us all. I couldn't wait to get on the airplane.

I was a little nervous as well though, because I hadn't been on a plane since I was about 15 and back then I had had a panic attack, and it was really bad. I was nervous that the same thing would happen and I wouldn't be prepared. At least I would have Dan and Phil with me this time. 

We got to the airport and my body was all jittery, but it was with excitement, not anxiety this time. We got to our plane and boarded it quickly. I sat in between the boys and took deep breaths, not sure if I was ready for the long flight that I was about to have to endure. I would just watch loads of movies and it would be okay. 

And I was right; I watched five movies and slept a lot of the ride there and it was over fairly quickly. The only thing was that my butt started to hurt half way through, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I could only think of America and how excited I was for the event. 

When we landed I wanted to get up right away and just get to our hotel and meet everyone, but of course the process took time and I had to be super patient. I didn't want to be patient though, I just wanted everything to go faster. 

Finally, after what felt like ages, Dan, Phil, and I were in a cab with all our luggage on our way to the hotel. When the driver got the the large litup building. I hopped out and grabbed all of our luggage out of the back, handing Dan and Phil their bags. 

"Ready?" Phil asked with a smile squeezing my hand gently before we walked into the building. We were immeadiately engulfed by people who were all coming over to say hi to Dan and Phil. They were much more well known than me so of course it made sense. 

Dan and Phil started introducing me to people though and I suddenly felt the pressure to remember all their names and it was really stressing me out. Everytime I was about to tell them I needed to go lie down more people came and I felt rude saying anything.

Then there was this one boy who came over by himself and he seemed really timid. His voice was really high as he spoke to Dan and Phil. He looked so incredibly happy when they talked to him. I thought for a second that maybe I recognised him, but then I realised that I didn't. 

He was sort of good looking, but he didn't really look like me type. 

After he walked away I totally planned to tell the boys I needed to get away for a few minutes and catch my breath, but more people kept coming. I couldn't take it anymore though so I ran past them and outside into the warm air breathing heavily. 

I walked over to the edge of the lit up pool and sat down gingerly gliding my feet into the chilly water taking deep breaths. It was so much better alone, away from all the people. Maybe I had made the wrong decision coming to Vidcon. Would I be able to handle the stress?
