Chapter Sixteen - Broken Promises [Part Two] (TYL)

Phil decided to go home to start breakfast as soon as he bought PawPrints present. I finished shopping and got a box of maltesers for Dan. On the walk home a fan seen me and asked for a picture, she also asked where Prints was. I told she was at home, which was as close to the truth and I could say without mentioning we were staying at Dan and Phil's flat. After the girl ran back to her mum I went on my way back home. (Did I just call their flat home?) I stopped at a Starbucks first for a coffee just in case she was following me and I wanted a coffee anyway so it did really matter.
I got a plain coffee with almond milk to go. Tucked in the napkin that was wrapped around the cup there was another napkin which seemed odd but I didn't think much of it. I went back to the flat carrying seven bags of groceries and a coffee. The stairs were worse then ever so as soon as I got in the door I dropped the groceries on the counter of the trashed kitchen, I then went to the living room to drink my coffee and check my phone that had buzzed on the way up the stairs. 'Missed call from Daniel.' "Crap." I mumbled to myself and clicked call back.
"Why didn't you answer?" Dan said, he sounded pretty tired.
"I was dragging groceries from the store and up the stairs from hell." I said still a little out of breath from actually exercising.
"'The stairs from hell'?" Dan said with a laugh. "Wait by yourself? You walked?"
"Yeah I walked 'By myself' who'd you think would be with me?" I asked."
"Phil? Becca?"
"Well Becca was home and Phil had already left the store..."
"Why did he leave before you?" Dan asked.
"Because he had to get back to make pancakes." I said trying to keep my explanations short so I could resume normal breathing.
"Could you please give the phone to Phil?"
"Um sure... Why?" I asked getting up.
"Nothing I just wanted to tell him something..." Dan said.
I got to the stairs and yelled "Phil!! Dans on the phone!"
I heard footsteps then Phil was at the top of the stairs."Shh~" He said with his finger over his lips he came down stairs "Becca's asleep." He said in a whisper.
"It's past noon..." I said surprised as why she was still asleep, she usually woke up before me not after noon.
"She has a fever." Phil said holding out his hand for the phone which I gave to him. "Hey Da-" Phil started.
"Philip Michael Lester!?" I heard Dan yell. "Don't you dare leave Kate at a store by herself! Do you know how many crappy things could have fucking happened?!?"
"S-sorry... She said it was okay for me to leave...." Phil said clearly scared and annoyed by Dan's yelling.
"I don't care! You don't leave her alone in London!" Dan yelled "Do you know how many creepy people there are, more or less if she got hurt, or mugged, or something." Dan said starting to calm down. Phil still seemed a bit freaked out but less shocked that his best friend just started yelling at him.
"Dan, it's okay. I'm okay. There's no need to worry. I can take care of myself just fine." I said reaching my hand out for the phone.
"I know..." Dan said "Sorry Phil..."
"It's okay," Phil started "I understand, if you left Becca alone I would feel the same way."
"Phil?" I heard Prints say from somewhere upstairs.
"Sorry, gotta go. Bye Dan." Phil said handing me my mobile and running upstairs.
"Bye." Dan said.
"He's already gone." I laughed.
"Oh okay. Sorry for freaking out."
"It's okay I understand." I said starting to walk back to the lounge.
"It's just I don't want you to get hurt." Dan said with a little sigh.
I smiled "I love you but you care to much." I said with a laugh.
"I love you too that's why I care so much, I don't want you to get fucking hurt or anything."
"You really do care too much, you care about me more than anyone else ever has..." I said as I stood looking out the window.
"Well that's because I love you more than anyone else ever has." I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Aww~" I smiled "I love you too." I then seen a small child chasing bird, what's up with all these weird children chasing birds? I laughed.
"What're you laughing at?" Dan asked.
"A child chasing a bird." I said.
"What's up with the british kids chasing birds recently?" Dan asked.
"You took the words out of my mouth." I said still watching the child, that's sounds really creepy... I didn't mean it like that.
Dan interrupted my thought "Wish I was there, it sounds funny."
"Wish you were to." I said turning my back to the window.
"I'll be back in a couple days..."
"I know... Just wish you could be here now." I said sitting on the couch, my knees to my chest.
"I wish I could too." At that moment I heard a flight being called. "Shit, my flight, gotta go."
"Oh crap, bye." I said moving my legs to a normal position on the couch.
"Love you."
"Love you too." Dan then mumbled something I couldn't understand. "Huh?" I asked.
"Nothing... Never mind bye, talk to you in about six hours or so."
"Oh okay, bye." The line went dead. I lay on the couch trying to think of what he could have mumbled. I couldn't come up with anything that made any sense so I got up and went to the kitchen to find I forgot to put away the groceries and all the cabinets were still open, same as the dishwasher and the stove. Wait, why the hell was Phil using the oven to make pancakes. Well I'll just add that to my list of questions that will never be answered...
I put away the groceries deciding to hide the maltesers in the back on the fridge behind some mushrooms, why did we even have mushrooms? Another thing to add to the list.
There really wasn't much to do seeing Dan was gone, Becca was ill and Phil was taking care of her. I decided to check what was going on with her so I went upstairs.
Phil was sitting on the edge of his bed on tumblr as PawPrints was asleep. I tapped on the door. Phil got up and walked over.
"Hows she doing?" I asked in a half whisper.
"She's okay, her fever isn't any worse and she's been asleep for the past couple hours, sleep being the best medicine or whatever she should be fine." He said cheerfully as possible. She turned in her sleep and the washcloth that was sitting on her forehead fell off. Phil turned his head to her with a worried expression.
"Go on." I said shooing him back to Prints.
"Sorry." Phil said and rushed over to check on her.
She sat up right before I left the room so I went over to check on her. "You okay?" I asked.
"Been better, but I'm okay." She replied groggily.
"You need anything?" Phil asked.
"Maybe some crackers? I'm kinda hungry." She said shooting into a slouchy position.
"En'kay, I'll be right back." Phil said leaving the room.
"Hi." Becca said.
"'Ello." I laughed.
"So what's up?" She asked.
"Dan's in America and I'm bored... That's just about it, what about you?" I said.
"Been sick and Phil's been taking care of me, that's just about it." She laughed.
"When did our friendship become so awkward?" I asked sitting on the bed leaning back on my arm.
"It's not really awkward, we just don't have many things to talk about..." She said sitting up.
"What do we normally talk about?"
"I dunno, whatevers on our minds I guess..."
"Then what's been on your mind?"
"Nothing really..."
"What a shock." I said with a smile.
She punched my arm "Rude."
"Says the one who punched me!" I accused.
She sighed and we laughed. "So anything in the terrifying mind of Kate?" She asked poking my forehead.
"Not anything I can think of-" I paused remembering Dan mumbling something 'Should I even mention that, it couldn't have been that important? Or was it?-' I asked myself. "Well, I was on the phone with Dan and he said something before saying bye but I couldn't understand what he said and his flight was being called so he just said nevermind and now I don't know what he was going to say..." I said quickly after a moment of thought.
Becca shrugged "Then text him about it."
"He's probably forgotten by now..." I replied.
"Maybe not-" She was interrupted by Phil who came into the room.
"Crackers for the lady." He said sitting a package of crackers on the bed.
"You go text him." She said shooing me out of the room.
"Okay, okay." I said as I got up, I walked out of the room and to the living room. I sat down on the couch, my coffee was still on the table, I picked it up and took a swig. "Ugg, cold, blah." I mumbled and sat the coffee down again, just then I noticed the second napkin and out of curiosity picked it up. In letters that looked as if they were wrote it red sharpie with girly handwriting that read 'Hey Kate. You've been dating Dan, correct? Well you better stay away from him, he's already taken and if you don't listen to this warning you will face the consequences. -C'
I pressed out the napkin on the table rereading it a couple times 'Who the holy hell is C?? Whose Dan taken with? Does she mean Phil? Is she an idiot? Should I tell Dan? I should, shouldn't I? Yes, yes I should.' I decided and took out my phone. I took a couple pictures of the napkin before I got a really clear one that I sent to Dan explaining where the napkin came from and asked if he knew anything about it. He didn't reply, I knew he wouldn't but I still wanted to hear from him.
I laid on the couch staring up at my mobile waiting, hoping for it to ring. I'm not sure how long I sat like that but I heard Phil call me from across the room. I sat up "Huh? Phil? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just you've been staring at your phone for the past three minutes without blinking and I was making sure someone didn't stupefy you on anything."
"You really think some wizard would come over just to stupefy me?" I asked with a laugh.
"You never know!" He said cheerfully.
"Is Becky awake?" I asked.
"Yeah, she was on tumblr when I left."
"Oh okay, I needed to talk to her for a moment, so I'll be right back." I said picking up the napkin and going upstairs to where Becca was at.
As Phil said she was on tumblr "Hmm?" She asked looking up as I walked in the room.
"Can you give me your opinion on this." I asked sitting on the side of the bed and handing her the napkin.
Her lips moved as she read "Well seems like a phangirl whos just trying to freak you out, you probably shouldn't worry about it. But you can still do some research if you like, I won't stop you from being curious."
"Thanks." I said hugging her.
"No problem." She said then coughed.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, no worries." She said with a smile, she picked up her laptop again.
"En'kay good." I said smiling back. I decided to let her go back to tumblr, I went downstairs to go on my own tumblr.
I laughed at some gifs people made of some of our newest videos and younows. I gave some of them likes and followed a couple fans that I thought were little youtube genius fangirls that seemed to be able to make me laugh.
After a couple hours I went to twitter where Dan was tweeting a couple things about annoying fight attendants, etc. I decided to tweet something. After considering what to tweet for about thirty seconds I decided on 'Really bored, don't really know what to do so I'm gonna stay on tumblr all day doing nothing productive with my life. Yay! xP' I then logged off Twitter and went back to tumblr. After a hour I got a reply from Dan.
"Hello beautiful, sorry I did reply earlier but I was taking a bit of a nap seeing that the crazy old people got off in New York. But back to the note; I'm not really sure who C is but seems like one of the ones who belive me and Phil are dating. Other then that I don't really know."
"Morning love," I replied "Glad you could get some sleep. And that's just about all I got out of it too, do you think I should be worried?"
"No, I wouldn't think... But fangirls can get a bit mental... Just watch out for anything weird plz."
"Okay, I will."
"Okay good <3"
"<3 So what'd you dream about?"
"Flaming llamas falling from the sky that made the plane crash... That's normal right?"
"Totally normal..." I replied.
"I know, not normal at all but that was scary as fuck! The plane crashed and I never said a proper goodbye to you or anyone else..."
"Well the plane didn't get hit by a flaming llama yet so you have no need to worry."
"//flaming llama hits plane and everyone dies"
"Okay no joking about that crap."
"Okay, okay, sorry lol"
"Stupid..."
"Don't call me stupid you twat."
"No calling me a twat you moron."
"Peasant."
"Posh."
"Oh crap, getting off plane. Skype when I get to the hotel?"
"Sounds good."
"Alright, great. Talk to you in a bit ily"
"ily too <3"
"<3"
I went back to tumblr and waited for Dan to get to the hotel so he could call me. It was over an hour before he did. I clicked answer and seen him, sitting on a bed in a hotel room half way across the world.
"Hello?" He asked.
"'Ello?" I replied with a smile and a little wave.
"Good you can hear me. There's really awful wi-fi here. I only get one bar, like what the hell?"
"Well that's stupid, I would think with you being a youtuber they would make sure you have better wi-fi."
"I know right, as far as I can tell it's a pretty crappy room too. Look at this." He picked up his laptop and walked across the room and into the bathroom to show me the tilted mirror with a crack in it. "Can you tell how awful this is? and the shower doesn't look like it's been cleaned in months..."
"Yuck..." I replied with a disgusted face.
"I know right? And I have to stay here. At least I won't be here too long..." He said going back to the other room.
"You're coming home in two days correct?" I asked.
"Um... Yeah..." He said, he sounded as if he was lying... But why would he lie? He's probably just tired, yeah tired.
"You sound kinda tired..." I mentioned without really thinking.
"Nah I'm fine, just a bit jetlagged." He said with a bit of a smile.
"Oh okay, just if you're tired we don't have to talk right now if you'd rather go to sleep-" I stumbled around in my words.
"You're not getting rid of me that easily, I wanna talk, we haven't properly spoken in over twelve hours, plus being asleep before I left equals to almost a full day." He said leaning towards the camera.
"Wow, it really has been awhile." I said leaning a bit in also.
"I miss you." he said.
"I miss you too." I said.
We sat in silence for awhile then he started asking me questions about the next episode of Pai No Ai that was airing today. I told him it wasn't going to be on for another hour and that we should just watch it together at which he said he doesn't get that channel at his hotel so the only way that would work is if I pointed the webcam at the tv and explained the dialog. Which after some consideration decided to do.
We talked for awhile about the crazy people on the plane until the show started. I did excellent reading of the dialog and we laughed way too much. We stayed up until around ten then Dan said he didn't really want to get offline but he was jetlagged and the meeting was early tomorrow so we said goodnight and went offline. I didn't have much else to do so I just went to sleep.
