"How was your day, sweetheart?" Isla asks the exact second Dan picks up.

"I'm still...on set." Dan lies. He is only lying because she'll hopefully ask less questions.

"On set? Bloody hell Dan, it's quarter to nine. I thought your first days was meant to be your easiest?" Technically your first day of shooting a film can be one of your hardest. Today was mild for Dan, he wasn't expecting so many people to be involved. He read the script and pictured an indie movie, with three or four people working behind the scenes. Never did he picture a set with hundreds of workers on.

However, Isla has no idea that her son is waiting in line for a Florence + The Machine gig. With company of a lady. Otherwise she'll be asking twenty million questions and presuming that Dan finally has an actual girlfriend. Which is like hell for Dan, especially after the incident.

Of course, Dan's company is Charlie. It's only because Dan wants to go to this gig, but everyone else isn't really in the mood. Luckily for him Charlie is tagging along, although she doesn't like Florence all that much...she has hopes that after the gig Dan and her can go some place else and talk.

Charlie's never been more interested in a complete stranger. She finds it weird how they're both night owls, and run the streets of London, but have never bumped into each other before.

"Yeah...hectic day..." Dan unconvincingly says while Charlie looks around the long queue. The venue is small, and the queue happens to be fairly long.

"Are you free to talk at the moment?" Dan wants to say no, but he knows that he'll feel bad.

"I think I have five minutes left." He says with a genuine smile. Hearing his mother's voice is good, today there was multiple times where he needed some extra encouragement. Ralph's encouragement was somehow getting ahold of a megaphone and shouting 'don't fuck up' at the top of his voice.

Admittedly everyone did unexpectedly laugh.

"Did you try your best?" Dan nods his head. Although she clearly can't see since it's an ordinary phone call and not a FaceTime one.

"I'm taking the silence means you did."

"Yeah sorry. I tried...probably failed." With that Charlie, who stands ten centimetres away from Dan, almost frowns at his pessimism.

He did better than I did on my first day - Charlie thinks.

Dan then takes a deep breath in. He inhales the cold air before exhaling it out of his breath like a dragon. It's a freezing cold night, and he isn't sure as to why the venue are leaving all of the fans outside. Especially those teenage girls who wear long floaty dresses - just like Florence's - and lighter than usual clothing.

Charlie crosses her arms over her pink fluffy jacket. She's cold, but she can sense that Dan is colder.

"Well I'm proud of you no matter what. Tell Ralph I said thank you for the photos and videos he sent me..."

"Hold up a minute mum. What videos and photos?" Dan gave Ralph his phone to look after while he was filming a bunch of random scenes, none of which had too much dialogue in. Ralph is one of the two people Dan trusts, the person other being Charlie.

"Yeah recorded a few videos for me. There was one of you walking, Why was you looking moody? And when did it snow! I saw no snow here. You could've called me. Ralph was no help, he kept laughing." Ralph was laughing because he didn't want to be the one to tell Dan's mum that the snow was completely fake. She sounded ever so happy.

Dan for a second ours his hand against his face. He is slightly mortified that Ralph went behind contract and recorded a video.

"I was acting, mum."

But Isla doesn't have it. "If they're making you unhappy on that set I want to know. I can help you!" Since Isla raises her voice and Dan's volume is fairly loud, Charlie overhears. She puts a hand over her mouth and tries not to snigger. Dan on the other hand tries not to laugh himself.

"Mum, that's really nice and I'll keep that in mind. But what Ralph sent you was a part of the...film." Dan whispers the last part in paranoia. He saw a girl wearing a Marvel top walk past. Luckily for Dan, Charlie's back was turned so the girl didn't notice her.

"No way!" Isla sounds surprised while he rolls his eyes back.

"Yes way."

With that the queue suddenly starts moving. Dan and Charlie shuffle forwards, "look I got to go. The director is...angry?" He isn't exactly lying. While they're out here, Aubrey has locked herself away in her rental apartment and is currently looking over half of the footage that they captured today. The other half is with the editors already. She doesn't have any idea how she can piece it together and that frustrates her. She wants to use the footage, it seems to raw and catches a lot of moods and empathy towards Liam.

Charlie let's out a helpless laugh. Dan then quickly cuts his phone off as soon as he hears one of the ticket checkers making their way up the queue.

"Aubrey is angry, huh?" She says with a wide smile.

"Yeah!" Dan shouts as he leans close to Charlie's ear.

"We better go in and make her happy!" Charlie points to the doors but Dan shakes his head.

"We need to get our tickets checked first." Dan already brought two, he was hoping originally that Ralph might change his tune and join him...but he never did.

"I've never been to a gig before!" Charlie nervously shouts as someone opens the door and the entrance music plays on full volume.

"Seriously?! I thought your friend was Will's bit?"

Charlie nods her head. "She was...but we wasn't close friends. She never invited me to...come to your gigs or whatever." Dan nods his head feeling sorry for Charlie. He knows there can be shitty 'friends' in the world.

"We're gonna change that tonight." He smiles while Charlie excitedly jumps up and down. She looks like any other fan girl, but she's far from being one.

Charlie has found solace within Dan...she's happy.
