Phil's POV

"Dan!" I shout. "PJ's here. Are you ready?"

"I can't find my jacket!" He shouts back from his bedroom.

"It's in here on the table!"

"Okay!"

I turn to PJ. "I'd say sorry but you already know what Dan is like."

He nods and laughs as Dan enters the room.

"Are we going now?" He groans.

"Yes, let's go!" PJ shouts as he runs down the stairs, Dan and I following behind.

~Time skip~

"Hurry up!" PJ whines as we shuffle behind. "We're already late!"

I turn to Dan, who just shrugs, and we quicken our pace.

We eventually find a large crowd, which gets PJ excited.

"She's over there!"

From beyond the crowd, I hear a familiar song. But most of all, a familiar voice.

"Mama take this badge from me,

I can't use it anymore,

It's getting dark too dark to see,

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door,

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, eh yeah."

My mind drifts to the time Y/N and I went to see Old School and the drive home.

I think of how she was strumming an imaginary guitar and imitating Axl Rose.

As if in a trance, I eagerly push through the loud crowd, leaving Dan and PJ behind, until I reach the front.

And there she is. Still wearing the same style of clothing. Still wearing her H/L H/C the same way. And still as beautiful as she was before.

Still Y/N.

Dan and PJ eventually catch up. Dan looks as if he's going to faint.

"It's ThatWeirdo!" He shouts above the noise.

PJ smiles, looking proud.

And me? I stand there, in shock, a tear drop slowly sliding down my cheek.

Still singing, her glance drifts to the three of us. Her eyes suddenly light up, showing excitement and joy, and she tries her best not to break into possibly the biggest grin in human history.

I begin to feel the same way. Only I do let my grin show, and push away the urge to run up and hug her.

Gawping fans turn their attention to us, and even they have the same look as us.

Well, I know what we're doing after this.

Y/N strums the last few cords and smiles at the crowd, who applaud and whoop and whistle at her.

"So, this next song," she starts, her voice still the same as last time I talked to her. "Is about my best friend."

My heart beats fast as she looks down at us.

"He's been there for me through everything that I can remember, so, this song is dedicated to the one and only..." I feel my grin get bigger and bigger. "PJ Liguori!"

My smile instantly drops, and I turn to look at PJ, who waves at her. She waves back, and begins to sing her song.

But... I'm her best friend. I feel my heart slowly beginning to crumble.

I watch in pain as she sings words that are for me and me only.

~Time skip~

"Peej!" The voice of the girl I love calls out as PJ runs over and wraps his arms around her, lifting her into the air and spinning her around.

I stand uncomfortably next to Dan, who stares at Y/N in awe.

"It's ThatWeirdo," he squeaks.

"It's Y/N," I mumble.

"Yeah that's her name." There's a bit of an awkward silence before Dan speaks up again. "Are you okay?"

I shake my head. "It's Y/N, Dan. My Y/N."

"That's her?" I nod.

"Okay, Y/N, I need you to meet two of my friends," PJ says, pulling her towards us.

Okay, maybe she just couldn't recognise me from a distance. I have changed since she last saw me.

And she does... I think.

When she sees us, she squeals.

"Oh my God!" I smile back at her, and embrace myself for a giant hug. But it never comes. "You're danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil!"

I stare at her, confused.

"I'm such a big fan," Dan awkwardly states.

"So am I. I've been wanting to meet you two for ages-"

"Hang on, what?" I cut her off. "Y/N... is this some joke?"

She looks at me, shocked. "W-what do you mean?"

"Come on, Y/N. You know what I mean, and this is not funny."

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

"You met me when we were both five years old. I can't believe this. You stopped talking to me completely for this 'prank'? Because guess what? It didn't work. I've been worried sick about you!" I shout.

PJ and Dan stare at me, mouths wide open, and Y/N has a look of hurt in her eyes.

"Phil... I've never met you before..."
