One Hell Of A Life

chapter sixteen: reminders.

Em POV:

"It's been lovely seeing you two; I cannot thank you enough for actually going outside." I chuckled as Dan and Phil walked me to the front door of their apartment.
"I guess the next time we'll see you will be the tour?" Phil grabbed the keys, fiddling with them so that they'd fit the shape of the lock.
"What show do you want again?" Dan closed his eyes, trying to remember.
"One of the Vancouver showings. We'll watch a baseball game - I've heard the Vancouver Canadians are good." I requested.
"You'll have to remind me about that." He pointed at me.

"How come you didn't go to any of the London shows?" Phil questioned, finally getting the key to turn and click, signalling that the door was unlocked.
"I was in America, I think." I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Yes, that's right because you brought us back Apple Jacks and Trix cereal..." Dan nodded.
"We'll sort you out tickets, no problem." Phil assured.

I looked from Dan to Phil, Phil to Dan, and just grinned a massive smile.
"Come here, you two." I sighed happily, motioning them for a hug. "Interactive Introverts across the pond is going to be mental! I'm so proud of you both for making this happen." I smiled into their chests.

They're giants, okay.

"Thank you Emmy! That's so sweet of you." Phil said, feeling my grip loosen on his back. He began to fiddle with the latch of the door. Dan then moved back, resting his palms on my shoulders.
"Are you sure you'll be okay without us here?" Dan asked seriously.
"Of course I will! I have JJ, Dej, Talia and the girls, Simon and the rest of the Sidemen. I'll be absolutely fine, Danny Boy." I smiled. He mirrored my expression.
"Good."

"Well, I'll love you and leave you." I beamed at the two one last time.
"See you in Canada!" Phil waved as I exited the door.
"Goodbye!" Dan exclaimed.
"See you later!"

iMessage: from Talia.
You still down for nails tomorrow at 2pm?

Oh, shit.

I can be forgetful, and I can be the most prepared person in the entire world. In this case, however, I was the first description.

The day after would be June 19th, i.e. JJ's birthday. He was holding a birthday bash at his house, inviting everyone that we knew, and more. I was set to stay the night along with Freya and Talia - the latter undoubtably drunk off her head.

I typed back a quick reply:

sure thing tee.

At this point I was in the elevator, on my way to my flat. Drained from the day, I trudged towards my front door, shoved the key in the lock, and shoulder-barged my way in. I flicked the kettle on, and whilst it was boiling, got changed into my Grand Prix OnePiece onesie. I looked like a race car driver as I poured the boiling water into my mug, sitting on the sofa, beginning to edit the next day's video.
