*Dan Howell is a 22 year-old british youtuber living in London. He shares an apartment with his best friend Phil, who is also a youtuber. Lee is a 19 year-old college student who spends most of her time reading, writing and 'interneting'. She lives in London as well, and is a big fan of Danisnotonfire. Both lead pretty normal lives, until one Monday, 15th February, when their lives are changed forever...*

(Note: I do not own Dan or Phil. This story is complete fiction) :)

Chapter 1 - Lee's P.O.V.

"Chris Brown that egg! Chris brown that egg!"

I stir in my bed. "Umphgrm...", I grumble as I switch off the  alarm on my phone. 8:30. Ew.

Squinting at the bright screen, I see some Twitter and Instagram notifications. I open my Twitter and scroll lazily through my feed, not really focusing on the tweets and pictures.

I notice a few tweets from random people giving weather warnings. Hmmm, it's not even that rainy or windy. I roll over in the bed and open my laptop, which is lying beside me from the night before. Well, 4 hours before! Hardcore life for me.

I open Youtube and refresh the homepage. A new Danisnotonfire video. 'Uploaded 3 hours ago' flashed beneath it.

Aw, come on! I missed it by that much? Damn you Dan. He does it every time. Oh well!

I click 'play' on the video and sit back, preparing to laugh. Dan's videos were the funniest!

When the video is finished, I smile and close my laptop. Nothing like some youtube to start off your day. I slide off the bed and grab my Jake the Dog dressing gown. Putting it on, I walk into my tiny kitchen.

- Before I go on, I think I should tell you a bit more about myself. My name is Lee Whitaker. No, I'm not a boy, as my name suggests. My parents are just weird, that's all. I'm a female, 21 years young.

My hair is a short, layered and dyed bright red. I've had it that way since I was 15 and I love it.

I'm moderately slim, because I like to run a lot. I eat loads of food though. Yay for a fast metabolism!

I live in a small, boring flat in Westminster, London. I'm currently doing Social Science in college, and I hate it.

I used to have a roommate who shared the flat with me. His name was Matt and he was the closest friend I ever had. We told each other everything and went everywhere together.

We weren't 'together'. We were like brother and sister, if you know what I mean.

One night, he left the flat saying he was meeting someone for a drink. He didn't tell me who or where.

Matt never came back. His body was found afloat underneath a bridge on the Thames. After a postmortem, the police told me he had been intoxicated.

This all happened about 6 months ago, but I still have nightmares about it often. I didn't have many friends other than Matt, so I'm all on my own nowadays.

I lead a pretty boring life nowadays. I don't go out partying or drinking (I don't drink alcohol). This means I'm basically isolated from all other people my age. Oh well.

The internet and YouTube are my obsession. Well, they are a huge part of my life. My favourite person in the whole universe is Dan Howell, the youtuber. I've never met him, sadly.

Even so, I feel like I know him, because him and I are so alike! I can relate to every single 'Reasons Why Dan's a Fail', for example. Go watch those videos, now. Then you'll basically know the story of my life.
