KC POV
I sat down to lunch with abbey and aleah. I really hadn't told aleah yet, we have a few classes together and I was gonna tell her earlier but I always held off. She is gonna be so pissed. "So are you guys going anywhere for spring break?" Abbey asked. I decided I would throw it into the conversation now to get it over with. "Actually we-" I cut her off then and just made it as casual as I could. "We are um going to London England to see some friends." I said quickly. Aleah immediately looked at me confused. Why did I say it like this, the lack of sleep was affecting my brain. "We're what?" She asked. "We're going to London to see Dan and Phil." I answered nervous. Oh god she was going to kill me. "Um we are? Since when?" She looked so nervous. I knew she was running low on money. She had gotten a letter from her dad, he needed money and since her mom wouldn't loan him some. She did. And lots of it. He was such a sick man, I felt bad. And now I brought this upon her. "Well last night Dan told me he can't come here and we have less than a week to book plane tickets." I'm an idiot. "Why didn't you tell me! I don't have the money we have to go ALONE." I knew how nervous she got. Why did I do this I could always see Dan over the summer but no, this was the option I took. "I know but dan did offer to pay, I can pay for mine but if you-" she cut me off. "I'm calling Dan now we need to talk." I'll get back to YOU later." She stormed off. Abbey looked confused then I explained. This was such a mess. Why couldn't Dan be closer?
ALEAH POV
"Are you guys going anywhere for spring break?" Abbey asked when we sat down. I was saying how we were gonna stay and Dan and Phil were coming when KC cut me off. "We are um going to London England to see some friends." She said. I was immediately confused and I didn't like where this was going already. "We're what?" I needed an explanation now. "We're going to London to see Dan and Phil." She answered. When did this happen? I don't have a plane ticket. "Well last night dan told me he can't come here so we have less than a week to book plane tickets." She said. Now I was mad. I didn't have enough money for this. And I knew we would only be able to afford just the two of us at the least. Which means we were going alone. And that thought made me scared. "Why didn't you tell me! I don't have the money and we have to go ALONE!" Abby looked uncomfortable. "I know but Dan did offer to pay, I can pay for mine but if you-" I cut her off, man I was angry. "I'm calling Dan now we need to talk, and I'll get back to YOU later." I walked off and dialed dans number. He picked up pretty quick. "Hey Aleah." he sounded happy. "What the hell Dan?! I don't have the money to pay for a plane ticket! And now I hear I have less than a week to get that money! It's not gonna happen I can't do it my mom will literally kill me!" I was so angry. "Oh I had no idea I'm sorry, I can pay for it." He offered, no way I wasn't taking that opportunity. "You bet you are! Because incase you didn't know my dad left when I was 7 and in the past 3 years he wrote me one note asking for money!" I didn't even know why I said that I just wanted to cry. "And you gave it to him." He sounded disappointed, but who wouldn't be. I'm an idiot. "Yeah. And now I have no money. So you will pay for that plane ticket and for one on the way home! Another thing, because we don't have enough money we have to stay at YOUR apartment!" I was ready to start bawling. "I know I know, look it's gonna be fine. You don't even have to come." No I had to. I wanted to see my friends and I would be anxious without KC here. "No I'll come. But I-" That's when hot tears started spilling out. I was so nervous and upset I was bawling. Sometimes I got so sensitive. I hung up immediately because I didn't want Dan to hear me cry. That's when I left school. I went home and hid in my room so my mom wouldn't know, and when my brother got home I made it look like I was never there. I went to too much trouble for this but it was sometimes how I handled things.
KC POV
Dan ended up buying Aleah a plane ticket and mailed it immediately. Luckily it got here the day before the flight, Aleah slept over we had to leave at 2:00 in the morning for our flight. We were so exhausted when our parents dropped us off at the airport. "Be safe." Then they waved goodbye and we were on our own. I set an alarm for 5:30 and then we fell asleep by our gate. "Aleah wake up!" I said. We ended up having enough time to get some food. Then we went through security and boarded our flight at 6:45. London was 8 hours ahead of us so by the time we got there it was kinda late. Dan and Phil were waiting for us at the airport. I ran and jumped into dans arms as soon as I saw him. He picked me up and spun me around, then he set me down and pulled me into a kiss. Aleah and Phil were standing there kinda awkwardly I realized they'd already had there hellos. So then I gave phil a big hug and Dan gave Aleah one. We went back to there apartment and even though it was super early in CA we were so tired we all just fell asleep. Me and Aleah shared the couch even though it was small, she always curled up into a ball when she sleeps so it worked out fine. The time change was always hard to get used to, but on the plus side for Dan and Phil they got to sleep in. Me and Dan went on a date and spent the day together. He took me to a restaurant called nandos, famous in London. And they did have one in California but I'd never been. Dan and I spent the rest of the day just walking around and checking out London, talking and laughing it was great. When we got back Aleah and Phil were playing sims 3. They were laughing so much. "You know when sims 4 comes out you should start a gaming channel." Aleah suggested. It was a good idea. Knowing how much they loved video games. We watched them play and laughed so much. Then we all went to bed. I went into dans room to watch a movie with him. We cuddled up and I fell asleep right there, in his arms. When I woke up it was about 1am and Dan had already gotten up. But surprisingly he told me he had been up since 8. That was early for him. I got ready quick I realized today we were having lunch with alfie and zoella. I was so excited. I think Aleah was going to take some pictures of London and do some sight seeing. I couldn't wait to meet them. We met them at Starbucks. I got a Carmel frap and Dan got a hot chocolate. When they arrived I got so excited. They were so nice. This was everything I'd dreamed of since I was 11. I never thought I'd be standing here, Dan Howell my boyfriend! And meeting all these youtubers. After we hung out for a bit the rest of the visit was mostly seeing London and going different places. On my last day there I met Dans family. They were so amazing! His mom was so kind and I loved them. When I got back to dans apartment I started packing up. "Hey babe I wanna ask you something I've really been thinking about." I froze. I didn't know what to expect. "Yeah?" I said. "Ok well I'm just gonna come right out with it, how would you feel... About finishing school in London?" He said. My mouth dropped. I didn't expect this. "Well um let me think about it." I said. He left the room and I sat there thinking about what to do. I would have to leave my family and Aleah and Abby. Just to be with Dan? I needed advice. I wanted to, I wanted to say yes.
