Evie's POV:
I wake up the day after my birthday to hear a loud bang come from the kitchen. I assume it's dan or Phil making breakfast but I go to check any cos u never know. I make my way out of my room down the hallway and to the kitchen and, sure enough, phil is stood in the kitchen making something that resembles breakfast. "Hey Phil" I say making him jump "oh hey Evie, i didn't see u there." He says turning round. "What u making" I ask as there is so much mess I can't actually understand what is happening. " well I'm trying to make avocado and toast but it's not going too well" he giggles and so do I "would u like me to make it, I used to do breakfast all the time at the orphanage?" I question "will I eat with us, if not then no" he says (I knew that was coming) "ugh! Fine!" I sigh "I'll eat as much as I can" I state and Phil looks happy so I set about making breakfast. When I'm just about done dan walks in and sits next to Phil any the dining table. " are u eating with us Evie?" Dan enquiries "yeah, I won't be able to eat it all tho" I reply and I see dan smile. I set the plate down at the table and I sit opposite dan and phil.
I only manage to eat half a slice of toast but it's more than normal so dan and phil look pleased. " what are we doing today?" I ask whilst I wash my plate. "How would u feel about introducing u to  our viewers?" Dan asks after a bit of hesitation "I would love that" I reply, a little nervous but still "also, we're going to come out in the same video" phil adds "omg! Cool!" I say a little more excited.

Dan and Phil go to set up so we can film and I go to get ready. I showed and get changed. My outfit is black leggings, a black crop top with space and a quote on it, with my mums cardigan. Then I curl my hair and do my make up (as seen at top). Then I make my way to dans room where we're filming. "Ready?" Phil asks "ready" dan and I say the same time. First the film the coming out bit an then it's time for my bit. "We have something else we need to tell u, come here" dan says and I jump into frame "hi" I say. "This is our daughter, Evie" phil introduces me "tell them about u" dan says. " ok, well erm, I'm Evie Elizabeth Howell-lester and I was adopted a few weeks ago. I play the ukulele, I'm a gymnast and figure skater." I say to the camera "well that's it for today" dan says "bye" we say together. Once the camera is turned off they both hug me "hey, guys?" I ask "yeah?" Phil says. "Can I make my own YouTube channel?" I ask hesitantly "sure, that's a great idea!" Dan says in a childish way. "Lets go set it up now!" Phil say "yay!" I squeal in delight.

It only takes a few minutes to set up my channel. I called it LifeWithEvie (a/n idk if that's an actual Channel but I chose I cos it's a bit like my user name) and o plan to upload music and beauty etc. "Do I want to film your first video?" Dan asks. "YESSSS!!! I mean yes please!" I say probably a little bit too excited. We go up to my room and dan sets up the camera and mic whilst I touch up my makeup and fix my hair. "Done" dan and I say at the same time. I laugh and sit down. Dan signals for me to start "hello everyone! My name Evie and today I'm going to sing human by Christina Perri but before that I'm going to give u 7 facts about me. 1) i can play the ukulele. 2) I figure skate. 3) I'm a gymnast. 4) I'm Dan and Phil's adopted daughter. 5) my parents died in a car crash. 6) my best friend is called kate. 7) I like to read.
Ok now onto the song!" I Finnish introducing myself and dan gives me a thumbs up, signalling that I'm doing good. I pick up my uke and start playing.

"I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human"

"Bye!" I say and dan stops recording. I look up and notice phil stood next to dan, they looked so shocked and pretty sure I saw dan shed a tear. "How was it?" I say, breaking the silence. "That was incredible!" Phil says "it wasn't thy good but thanks" I reply "don't be silly, it was so beautiful" dan says shedding another tear. "Dan? Are u crying?" I ask slightly amused "no!...... maybe......... yeaahhh" he says "thought so" I say with a giggle he looks at me and then says "shall I teach u to edit then?" "Sure!" I say. We head to the lounge and dan shows me how to edit while phil edits their coming out video and introduction video.

A few hours later all the editing is done. "U ready Evie?" Phil asks "as ready as I'll ever be!" I say even though I'm very nervous "three, two, one" dan says and presses enter "it's up!" I say " they know about everything now" I then say slightly anxious "what about the hate?" I ask "don't let it get to u, they're just jealous and don't bottle up your feelings" dan says pulling me into a tight hug in which phil joins. "I think I might up load mine now" I say "ok, need any help?" Dan says "yes please" I reply and go get my laptop. Dan gets it ready to go and I press enter. "I did it, my first video! Thank u!" I say. I think I'll read the comments tomorrow, I think. "Good night" I say and head to bed.

Dan's POV:
Evie's gone to bed and phil and I are reading the comments in both videos. They're mostly positive, but there is a bit of hate which is mainly towards Evie, which really upsets and worries me. I hope she won't be upset by it and that she talks to us about it and not bottle it up.

A/n I'm sorry it's been sooooo long but I've been really busy. Firstly it's my summer holidays!!! Yay, however I've got homework and it's almost the end of the holiday. But I've had to do a whole unit of art in 5 and a half weeks, like it's been a struggle and I've not had much time to relax because I'm in gcse years and we get no rest! Also I had a big science project but yeah, see u soon friends ❤️
