SHORT ONE-SHOT Lila is Dan's best friend.

Lila and Dan met on MySpace all those years ago over their music taste, Lila didn't realise that Dan was gay at first. The more they talked over social media...the more Lila fell in love with him. Dan on the other hand thought it was cool a girl as pretty as Lila was interested being his friend.

Lila and Dan met up at Glastonbury with their friends, but their friends bailed at the last minute. Over the festival weekend and camping Lila realises English festivals are nothing like her beloved Californian Coachella. On the last night and while watching the headliners, Lila kisses Dan. Dan backs away and tells her that she must've forgot his gay. Dan never told Lila about his sexual preferences.

Inside Lila is heartbroken...

Years later (when Bastille has just made it big with Pompeii - 2013) and both Lila and Dan are living together, just like how they planned to do so drunkenly at the Glastonbury weekend. Both of them are unhappy and still single. But Lila's feelings about Dan come to light when Dan's failed date, with a younger guy, goes awry. Lila tells Dan her feelings for him - blowing their many years worth of friendship. Instead of kissing her, Dan shakes his head and tells her that he is going to move out.

Distraught Lila goes to confine to Kyle, but ends up sleeping with him. Instead of Dan moving out she tearfully meets him at a cafe giving him one more chance...she knows he has felt something for her in the past.There's been a few drunken hook ups between them both. Dan tells her that he is a gay man, himself is struck with grief of the loss of his friendship. Lila nods her head and leaves after telling Dan that she's the one moving out, and leaves Dan all alone in the cafe.

Several years later (present day) and Lila and Kyle are in a troubled relationship. Although they're on friendly terms both Lila and Dan don't speak to each other. Lila is the female backing singer that Virgin has been nagging Bastille to get for a while. While touring in Paris Lila opts for a early walk around the beautiful city, unexpectedly Dan joins her.

On their walk Dan says that he is nervous about his upcoming wedding to a girl who he basically doesn't know very well because of a long distance relationship. Apparently he now likes both the ladies and gentleman. Lila tells Dan what's stopping him just going for it...if Dan loves his bride-to-be. Dan then replies 'you' and confesses his love and how he has been wrong about his 'love of his life' because; 'she was right in front of him the whole time'.

Shocked and uncomfortable Lila tells Dan it's too late and reveals and that she is moving back to the states, without Kyle, for a fresh start once tour ends.

The rest of the tour Dan tries convincing his love for her.
