For some reason, everything this week seeemed to go wrong for you. For example, today you missed the bus you would usually take to work and had been late half an hour. Your sexist pig of a boss decided to take his marital problems out on you even though this was the first time in your one year of working there that you've ever messed up. Your eyebags seemed to double in size because of the amount of work you've been given. You've been working over time for the last two weeks and were tired as hell. All you wanted to do was go home and have a long nice nap, wrapped in the arms of your ever so loving boyfriend, Dan.

Rubbing your face with your hand, you got to work scheduling meetings and fixing documents. Time seemed to pass by fairly quickly today and before you knew it, it was 8 PM and time for you to clock out. You called a cabbie and decided to go to the mall to buy what you've been saving for, a PS4 for Dan for your 5th anniversary as a couple.

Leaning your head against the window of the cab, you started to remember all the good moments you've had with Dan- which was a lot.

/memory/

"Dan, I really really REALLY don't want to go on that," you say, scared out of your wits at the large roller coaster everyone decided to ride.

"C'mon Y/N, it'll be fun! But if you really don't want to it's totally fine with me, I'll just stay behind to keep you company," Dan said.

You were so touched that Dan would stay behind for you but you could also see how excited he was about this ride. So, you caved in and decided to go on the death machine.

"Dan, Dan, Dan! Holy shit. Holy shit," you panicked as the roller coaster started moving up. You had a phobia of heights, something you hadn't told Dan. You felt a panic attack coming on and closed your eyes, begging yourself to calm down.

Beside you, Dan panicked even more. But it wasn't because of the ride, he was freaking out out of concern for you.

"Y/N, Y/N listen to me okay? I'm here. You're okay. We're all okay. You're safe. It's just a ride. Calm down," Dan said gently, trying to compose you.

You weren't having it. You felt as though someone was literally choking you and you couldn't breathe.

But then, you felt a large hand cover your small one which was clutching the handle bar so tightly, your nails had pierced through the leather.

You focused everything on Dan's tight grip on your hand and started to calm down. Then, you felt yourself drop 60 feet down.

"AHHHHHH DAN HOWELL I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL MURDER YOUUUU AHHHHHHHHHHHHH," you screamed. You were terrified as fuck but you also were kind of enjoying now.

"I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOO Y/N," Dan shouted back at the top of his lungs.

And that was the first time either one of you had said "I love you".

/end of memory/

"We're here dear," said the nice old man you had for a cabbie.

"Thank you," you replied after handing him your payment. You got out and realized that this wasn't the mall you usually went to. You turned to face the cab but it seemed to have disappeared behind you.

You decided to go ahead and try the mall since you didn't feel like calling for another cab.

You walked in and headed for the nearest gaming section. While walking, you noticed a couple making out by the fountain in the middle of the mall. Gross, you thought. PDA wasn't your thing. And neither was it Dan's. You silently thanked the Lord that you and Dan weren't one of those couples.

You bought the PS4 and a bunch of other games that Dan had been raving about to Phil, your mutual bestfriend.

You walked out of the shop and rolled your eyes once again at the couple. You were just about to exit when you heard a girl giggle behind you, "Oh Dan."

Chills went down your spine for some reason. You turned to look back at the couple and saw something you failed to recognize earlier- the girl's bag was the same bag you had given to your best friend, Lily, last Christmas.

You couldn't believe it at first. How could you? The idea of Lily and Dan was insane! But nonetheless, you still decided to get a closer look at the pair.

You were telling yourself that you and Dan were going to have a good laugh about this later as you walked towards the fountain.

But the closer you got, the more the thumping in your chest increased. The outlines of the pair were looking more and more like the two people you trusted the most by each step. By the time you got to the foot of the fountain, it felt as though your heart had been ripped out.

"Dan?" You whispered in a broken voice.
