third person.

"That might've been the best show we've done all tour." Corbyn said out of breath whilst all of them headed up the stairs of the hotel to their rooms for the night.

"It was amazing." Jack said, stopping by his and Gabbie's hotel room, saying a simple 'goodnight' to everyone before he went inside.

Corbyn and Christina went into their hotel room afterwards, then Zach and Anna went into theirs. Jonah and Daniel exchanges their goodbyes and Jonah went into his hotel room that he was sharing with Tate and that left Daniel to go to his room by himself.

He let himself into the room with the card, expecting to see his girlfriend either asleep or watching a movie, but instead she was right by the door, smiling at him.

"How tired are you?" Julia asked him.

"I'm not tired, why?" He replied, smiling at her as she handed him his jacket.

"Do you want to go out?" Julia asked him, placing the jacket in his hands, "It's cold outside."

"What are we going outside for?" He furrowed his eyebrows, putting on the jacket anyway before they headed out the hotel room.

"I thought I'd give you a surprise date. So, surprise." She smiled, holding his hand and heading down the stairs of the hotel.

"You already know where we're going?" Daniel asked, stroking her hand with his thumb.

"Yes I had it planned since we got together, Ive always wanted to take you to this place." Julia said, looking up at him and trying to hide the small amount of blush she knew was forming on her cheeks.

"Well, I'm excited to see it." He said, being slightly pulled along by Julia to get where she wanted to take him.

After a small ten minute walk, they finally reached where she was hoping to take him. Julia led him down a small alley covered by leaves and flowers to then reveal a small cliff that faced the village she was from.

The girl sat down in the middle of the cliff, a small patch of green that was surrounded by a handful of daises. Daniel quickly joined her, looking over at the well lit up village.

"Do you come here often? Well, when you're in England?" Daniel asked her, scanning his eyes across the big view they had in front of them.

"I come here to think. When things are a little stressful or I just need time alone, it's a good place to destress and just realise how beautiful things can be." She explained, bringing her knees up to her chest and hugging them, "It reminds me that there's always something to be thankful for."

"If its your place why did you take me here?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I don't know." Julia said, looking at him, "I guess I just wanted you to know everything, and so you could have a place to go, if you ever come back to England."

"Are you kidding? This place is your home, of course Im going to come back." He laughed slightly, turning to face her as they both smiled.

"I think that everyone's so caught up in the media and wanting to be famous or successful that they forget theres more to living, and this place is what reminds me of that." The girl explained, looking back at the overview of the village.

Daniel nodded, not quite knowing how to reply to her explanation. Sure, he had known not all people were so fixed to the media, but he realised that the girl sat next to him was more than that.

Someone who wouldn't use him for followers, fame or wealth. A person that he could trust and talk to, knowing that whatever he said would be safe and not shared on the media, it made him feel a little more hope in people and their intentions.

He smiled, then began placing multiple kissed on his girlfriends cheek. Julia smiled back, before turning to face him and kissing him back, which only got more passionate as time went on.

By the end of the night, the couple had gotten up from that small cliff and their small heated moment and headed down to a local convenience store, ran by Julia's aunt and uncle.

As soon as they walked in, the girl was greeted by a long hug from both her aunt, Liz and her uncle, Shaun.

"And who is this young man you've bought with you?" Liz asked her, looking over at Daniel as he smiled.

"This is Daniel, he's my boyfriend. Daniel, this is my aunt and uncle, Liz and Shaun." Julia said, pointing to each person to indicate who was who.

"Nice to meet you." He smiled, a small hug being shared between him and Liz and a simple shake of the hand between him and Shaun.

"Go on, what are you here for?" Shaun asked his niece who was patiently waiting to ask them a question.

"Ice cream? Can I get some ice cream?" Julia asked, smiling at the two shop owners as they nodded.

"It's on the house." Liz said, grabbing two small plastic spoons and giving them to the two teens, who now each had a tub of ice cream.

And that was how they spent their night, eating ice cream in a small convenience store before they finally arrived back at the hotel at 5am, ready to get on the tour bus to travel to their next destination.

For once, Daniel had finally considered home to be a person.
