Ella grabbed her bags from the boot and began walking towards the building, however, she couldn't see much as it was so dark. Catherine pressed a buzzer on the main door and they opened with a swish. Ella tried to see whose name was on the buzzer but she couldn't see that either. She quickly grabbed her phone from her pocket and checked the time. It was quarter to eleven, and it was much darker here than it usually was in Spain. They saw multiple doors in the corridor, Catherine checked a paper which read the address and looked up at a blank door at the end.
"Is that it?" Ella asked impatiently,
"Yes,"
She scurried to the door and knocked twice. Ella heard voices through the house and patter of footsteps. The anxiety was too much for her to handle, she needed to know who she was with. She bit down on her lip and squeezed her eyes tight.
'This is it.' She said in her head.
Suddenly there was a clank of keys and chains and the door unlocked. Ella opened her tired eyes. They became wide and awake, her mouth dropped to the shape of an 'o' and she felt like she would collapse to the ground at any second.
Standing at the doorway was Dan and Phil.
"Hello I'm Catherine and I'm here to drop off-"
"Ella." Smiled Dan, he turned his face to her direction.
Her jaw dropped completely. She raised a shaky hand to cover her mouth and held it tight- knowing she would scream at any moment. Her face was pale with utter shock, and her legs were limp and shaky. Dans face flushed a light pink and a smile rose on his cheeks as he looked at Ella's head.
"Oh my gosh," Ella muttered under her breath. Realising she was wearing the llama hat.
"Hey Ella I'm Phil and this is Dan," Phil said.
"Y-y-es I know who you are." She squeaked.
They both laughed and saw Ella's face became a shade of hot pink.
She covered her face in her hands and repeated, "oh my gosh, oh my gosh..."
They both laughed and Phil opened his arms wide to hug Ella, so did Dan. She almost cried but held it in, not wanting to embarrass herself. She looked up and saw Dans face.
"So I can tell you watch our videos?" Dan smiled.
Ella let out a large laugh and buried her face in his chest, she felt his chest rise and fall with short laughter.

Catherine stared blankly and confused at them, she shrugged it off and made a slight coughing sound. Ella released from their grip and turned to face her, she passed her the luggage and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Will you be okay?" She asked, her eyes wandered back to Dan and Phil cautiously, who were waiting awkwardly at the doorway.
"Trust me," Ella said, her eyes watering slightly. "I think I'll be better than ever."
Catherine gave a soft smile and rubbed her arm, "see you soon."
She turned on her heel and slowly stepped down the stairs, not looking back, and like that; Catherine was gone. Ella turned round to see them both smiling wide at her, holding their arms stretched out, asking her to come inside. Her heart began to race, and she felt a little lighter. Dan stepped out and pulled her luggage inside. As she stepped in she looked around at their apartment- which almost seemed familiar to her. She had seen it plenty of times in their videos, and now, she was finally there. She looked up and saw the familiar staircase where Dan filmed his fails.
"Oh my gosh," Dan grunted, as he tried to lift up her heavy suitcase.
He pulled it up one stair with a great shove, his arms were weak lacking strength. Phil began to laugh and moved back to help him. It was a hilarious sight watching them struggle to lift one suitcase. After one flight of steps they let it drop with a plonk and leaned against the wall with tiredness.
Ella giggled, "I can take my suitcase if you want-"
"No, no don't worry," Dan said, gasping for breath, waving his hand in dismissal.
"Yeah we can carry it." Phil nodded.
Ella shrugged and continued to the top of the steps. She stared down at them both as they began to heave it up again. Dan held the back of the suitcase and Phil the front. Suddenly, Phil tripped forward and dropped the suitcase on Dans foot. He jumped back in agony and fright.
"Oh my god, PHIL!" Dan screamed.
"Ah! Sorry!" Phil said, laughing slightly.
Ella let out a huge burst of laughter and almost fell on the floor. They both stared up at her raising an eyebrow.
