"Get the hell out of my house now! You're such a failure!" My mother shouts. I run up to my room and start frantically packing things into a backpack. Tears uncontrollably spill on my face and my throat is tight, making it hard for me to breathe. I grab my black backpack and stuff my laptop and phone, then some clothes, then whatever food I can find into it. I also manage to fit my old teddy, Ruffit, and a blanket in as well, in case I have to live on the streets. I yank my black coat off of the hook and shove black pumps on.
My 'mum' is kicking me out because I didn't get accepted into any university, which is pretty stupid because she knew I didn't want to go to uni anyway. I hate her so much. I wish I was never born! Maybe then I wouldn't be so much of a failure. I run out the door and straight to my favourite place: the park. Tears are still running down my face. I frantically wipe them away and pull my hood over my face. The fountain is the first thing I go to. I keep my eyes to the ground and bite my lip, trying not to cry again. Before I could get to a bench, I bumped into a tall figure, and I fall to the ground.
"Ouff..." I say as I hit the ground, but not as hard as I would have if the stranger didn't catch my arm. I wince as his strong grip clamps around some relatively fresh cuts.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?!" I hear a very familiar voice. I look up and see...Dan Howell?
Fuck, right, okay. I've walked straight into Dan Howell. One of the men that have saved my life so many times. I would have been more excited if I wasn't in such a state.
"I'm fine. I'm honestly so sorry, I should have been looking where I was going. Sorry, I'm a bit of a mess right now, and I'm kinda freaking out." I start to ramble. I have to bite my lip to refrain myself from blurting out even more.
"It's okay, I'm not hurt. Why are you freaking out?" Dan asks, brushing my shoulder.
"Well, for starters, I've bumped into you, who I've been watching on YouTube pretty much since you started. And also because my mum kicked me out of the house because I didn't get into any uni...." The thought brought tears to my eyes again.
"Oh don't cry! I am so sorry for provoking you!" Dan says, and he takes me into a hug. I cry into his shoulder.A few minutes later, I pull away and wipe my eyes.
"Sorry, I must seem so weird." I apologise.
"Don't be sorry, you're upset, I can understand that. So you have nowhere to go?" Dan asked worriedly. I nod my head in response. "Do you wanna live with us?" He suggests. I look at him with wide eyes. He must be joking, surely?
"I-I can't! You've only just met me, I could be a murder for all you know!" I exclaim.
"Well, how you've said that, you're obviously not. You seem like a lovely girl, and I really don't want you sleeping out here in London at night." Dan reasons. I blush and hide my face.
"O-okay, if you don't mind. I-I mean for a little time so I won't bother you for too long." I stutter, giving in. Another tear rolls down my face. Dan reaches over and wipes the stray tear away, leaving his hand on my cheek. I blush and look away with my eyes. He realises what he is doing and takes his hand away.
"Sorry... But you can stay with us permanently if you want, we need a girl in the house, or atleast someone else to help us with some problems, not that we would use you, I mean like..." He murmurs. I smile slightly as he drifts out to silence and stares into my eyes. "Actually, what would help is if I know your name and age." He glances away awkwardly.
"My names Blossom Wills, and I'm 19." I answer.
"I really like your name." Dan smiles. I can see his face flushing as he turns and leads the way out of the park."I should probably tell Phil about you." Dan says.
"Yeah." I nod. Dan pulls out his phone and taps on it a few times.
"Hey, Phil." Dan says. "No, I'm fine, I'm on my way back now. Anyway, uh, I ran into a girl when I was about to leave - no, Phil, shut up and listen - and she was kicked out of her home. Would is be okay if she lives with us?" Dan asks. "Her name is Blossom and she's 19. Alright, thank you, Phil!" Dan beams before hanging up. "Phil said it was fine, he's gonna call the landlord and tell him, so the rent will probably go up a bit." Dan shrugs.
"Sorry." I say for the 100th time today.
"Stop saying that!" Dan grins.
"Sorry. Oh damn." I chuckle. Dan laughs and shakes his head. He mutters something under his breath that I can't hear. It's really cold out now as the sun has gone down and the sky is a murky grey colour. I rub my arms in the hope of warming up, but of course not. I think Dan notices as he slows down slightly, giving me a chance to catch my breathe and walk next to him. He walks really fast."Are you cold?" Dan asks. I nod slightly. "Take my coat." He says, taking his coat off and handing it to me.
"This isn't the bloody movies, Dan" I giggle. Dan laughs, but still holds out his coat. I roll my eyes and take the coat and put it on. He smells amazing. Creepy, I know.
"Better?" Dan asks.
"Yeah, thanks, but now you're gonna get cold." I reason.
"It's fine, honestly. We're not too far away from the apartment." He shrugs.
