Secrets, Bruised and Broken - Part 2 / Danisnotonfire Fanfiction

Chapter 28. Practice

The next morning I woke up in a heap of emotions, I couldn’t stop yourself from crying , but I didn’t know why I was crying. It wasn’t like I was sad, it was all just too much, I guess. The last thing I remembered from last night was falling asleep to Dan and Phil’s radio show ( That’s probably why I was crying ), my laptop was still lying next to me, but now the battery was dead. ” Ugh… ” I sighed closing it, I glanced at the clock, 8:40 am. A loud crashing came from somewhere in my flat, I quickly sat up and wiped the tears off my face. I stood up and slipping on a hoddie, before I rushed out of my bedroom. ” Bernie, What the hell are you…. ” I started, but then I noticed Scottie standing in the kitchen, surrounded by a giant mess. There were pans on the floor, dirty bowls laid in the sink. There was some sort of mixture on the floor, all over Scottie and on the counters. ” Well, Good Morning to you too ” I chuckled, he smiled ” I just wanted to cook you breakfast to say sorry for yesterday. I just want you to be happy “. I sighed ” People need to stop trying to cook me breakfast and I am happy ” I smiled taking a few steps forward. He smiled at me and nodded, ” I would hug you, but I like these pajamas ” I smirked. He chuckled, ” Do you mind if I shower quickly ” he questioned. I shook my head no, ” There’s probably some of your clothes laying around here, somewhere ” I stated. He nodded as he walked out of the kitchen, I started the long… Long cleaning process. I started with the counters, but something caused me to glance up at the ceiling, only to notice the large pile of group that was about the drip. ” Scottie, how the fuck did you get it on the Ceiling? ” I laughed, I only heard him chuckle from in my bathroom. I finished cleaning up the counters and the floor, before taking a seat at my small kitchen table, then I laid my head down. I felt like I could start crying again, I was really confused as to why I was felt this way. I heard a deep sigh coming from a few feet away from me, ” Taking a break? ” Scottie snickered. I looked up to glare at him, but my plans were foiled, when I noticed he was only in a towel. My hands flew up and over my eyes, ” Oh my God! Put some clothes on!…. My eyes, they Burn ” I yelled jokingly. He chuckled, I sighed as I uncovered my eyes.    ” You’re cleaning up the ceiling, because I can’t reach it.. and it’s your mess ” I stated, he smiled        ”  Elle, I would’ve cleaned up the whole kitchen “. I smiled and nodded, ” Are you okay? ” he asked me. I shrugged ” I’m not sure, Scottie I’m just so emotional today, I think it’s from seeing Dan “, he sighed ” I thought if you saw him, it would help you more, make you happier. Not make you sadder “. ” It’s not that I’m sad, it’s just that I miss him, the real him ” I stated, he looked down at Bernie, who was sitting down by his feet. ” If you miss him, why won’t you talk to him? ” Scottie asked, I bit my lip. ” Because I’m afraid, I don’t want to be treated like shit anymore. Can’t I go a week without crying? ” I sighed quietly, but I knew he heard me, because he walked over and hugged me. I hugged him back, but then remembered he was only in a towel. ” Scottie? ” I asked, he sighed ” Yeah? “. ” Can you put some clothes on, because this is starting to get weird ” I chuckled, he pulled away wearing one of his world class smiles. ” Yeah, I’ll be right back ” he chuckled, I smiled and nodded. 

A half an hour later, Scottie and I were still in the kitchen cleaning up the mess. Well… Scottie was cleaning, I was sitting on one of the counters, just watching him. Alec busted into my flat, ” Hello Family, how are we today? ” Alec exclaimed, I rolled my eyes and looked at him. I noticed Liam in his little push chair and a smile grew on my face. I jumped off the counter ( Carefully ), ” There’s one of my main men ” I smiled picking him up. ” I brought you both some breakfast, even though I know you have work in a few hours ” Alec smiled placing the containers of food on the table, ” Thanks Alec, but where’s my other main man? ” I smiled. He rolled his eyes, but chuckled. ” Alice took him to the doctor, just for a checkup ” he smiled, I nodded as I sat down. ” So Since I have the both of you here Alice and I wanted to ask you something ” Alec sighed, Scottie and I nodded as we shoved food into our mouth’s ( I was starving ). ” Well Alice and I haven’t had a lot of time together, since she had the boys. We were just wondering if you both could babysit, this weekend. Think of it as Practice, because when you have your little bundle of joy, I know Scottie’s gonna be around a lot more ” Alec smirked, I scoffed. ” A lot more? He might as well already live here! ” I chuckled ( Why? Did I say that? It’s true though ), ” I’m in for some practice ” Scottie smirked. Alec and I smiled, ” Me too, Lyle and Liam are little angels ” I started cuddling Liam close. Alec smiled ” thank you guys, it means a lot “, Scottie and I nodded finishing up our breakfast. ” I’ve got to start getting ready for work, I’ll see you later little boy ” I smiled placing Liam back in his push chair, I then walked into my room to get ready.

A few hours later, I was standing in the cafe waiting on customers. I was feeling a lot better, the food definitely helped. Phil walked in seconds later, I gave him a quick hug and then continued on with work. Phil sat down at a table and waited, when I finished waiting on a couple that was all mushy and gross ( It made me wanna puke ). I walked over to Phil’s table, to wait on him. 

" Can we talk really quick? " he asked quickly, I looked at him confused, but then I sent Caspar a glance and he finished waiting on the mushy couple. " Okay, but it needs to be quick " I stated, he handed me a note, I knew it was from Dan. I rolled my eyes and shoved it in my pocket, " Elle, you need to talk to him. He’s going mad without you and he’s driving me insane! " Phil exclaimed. " He looked fine on the radio show last night " I mumbled loud enough for him to hear, he smiled " You still watch our show? ". I shrugged, " Listen, you tell Dan, I’ll talk to him when he fights for me " I stated without thinking. He nodded, " Now, can I take your order? " I questioned annoyed. He nodded and placed an order, I was tired of having the same conversations. Did I miss Dan, yes I did, my heart hurt without him being around. Yes he wanted to tall, but he wasn’t fighting hard enough for me. I feel selfish for saying that, but I deserve someone to fight for me. If they cared enough right, Did he even care?
