Dan Flint story

Chapter 2'

I woke up and my head was spinning, holy fuck where am I? ''you like her mate!'' I heard a familiar voice, I couldn't quite make out who it was. ''No I don't Josh.'' another voice said. Suddenly, I realized where I was, my new school. Images of the football flying towards me started flooding my head. ''Dan, you can't fool me.'' Who were they talking about. ''Even if I did like Ellie, I don't know her well enough!'' FUCK FUCK FUCK. Josh wasn't joking before was he. They had no idea I could hear them. There was a curtain separating us, I was laying on a bed, I was guessing in the Nurse's office. ''You should get to know here then, I've not seen you look at someone like that in a long time mate.'' Dan sighed, like he was remembering something he was hoping to forget. ''I need to go, I'm playing footy with Max tonight.'' Josh said before the door shut as he left. Dan opened the curtain, I closed my eyes pretending I was still asleep. He sat down on the bed. I slowly opened my eyes to find his locked with mine. ''you're awake!'' he smiled pulling me into a hug. ''yeah, what are you still doing here?'' I said pointing towards the clock. It was 3PM. ''Your mum and dad couldn't make it.'' What a surprise. ''So I waited for you, thought maybe I could walk you home when you woke up.'' Aw isn't he a cutie. ''Thanks.'' a smile started to grow on my face. I wish I knew what he was really thinking. We stayed sat on the bed for about half an hour, making sure I was definitely okay to walk home. The nurse let us go with Dan's word to take good care of me. He picked up my bag and carried it for me. ''So where do you live?'' Dan asked. I pointed down the street. ''Just there.'' I laughed. ''Well that's easy.'' he smiled at me. He had a great smile and those eyes! I just kept getting lost in them. We got to the front door. I took my bag off him and rummaged around for my key. ''Do you want to come in?'' I asked expecting him to have plans. ''Well I will do if you want me to?'' I nodded my head with a smile plastered across my face. I felt better than I had this morning. I'd made new friends. I opened the front door and let them him in. I threw my bag down and walked over to the kitchen. ''I'm starving!'' I said, Dan laughing at me. ''Same.'' ''Do you want me to put a pizza in or something?'' he nodded at me. I couldn't push the thought out of my head, what him and Josh had been talking about. Dan liked me. I put the pizza in the oven and set a 15 minute timer. I walked into the living room and threw myself on the sofa, Dan following. ''I'm sorry.'' I looked down. ''What are you sorry for Ellie?'' he looked confused. ''for getting knocked out and you having to wait because my parents.'' I felt my eyes filling up with tears. ''Hey don't cry, it was my choice to wait. I know what It's like to have parents that aren't interested.'' I looked up at him and he wiped the tears that had escaped my eyes away. ''Really?'' I asked him. ''Yeah, my mum works away a lot, just me on my own most of the time.'' I hugged him and he hugged me back. ''you must get lonely.'' he nodded at me, like he didn't want to talk about it. ''well maybe if your lucky Daniel, I can keep you company.'' his smile had returned. ''I'd like that very much Ellie.'' I looked up at him our eyes locking again. ''you have beautiful eyes Dan.'' I had no idea where this confidence to tell him what I was thinking was coming from. He leaned closer to me our faces moving closer together. -DING- fuck the stupid timer. I jumped up quickly to get the pizza out the oven. Dan stayed in the front room. Did that just happen? Did we almost kiss? Oh god. I took the pizza out the oven, cut it into 8 slices and put it on a plate. I took it through to the living room where Dan was sat on the sofa. He looked perfect. I put the pizza down and he grabbed a slice, throwing a thank you smile my way. We decided to put a film on, finding nemo. I had a weird thing for Disney animation. Dan pulled me into a hug after we'd finished the pizza and we stayed like this for most of the film. It was so nice, I liked Dan a lot. He was kind to me, I needed a friend and he was being a really great one.

There was about 15 minutes of the film left when my mum opened the front door and Jack, my little brother came running in. I moved away from Dan. ''Hey Elizabeth'' my mum shouted as she walked through following Jack. ''Hi.'' I smiled at her. I know my mum had a lot going on at the moment so I was trying to be nice with her. ''and who's this?'' she questioned, staring at Dan. ''Oh this is Dan.'' She smiled at him. ''Hi Dan, I'm Jane.'' he waved at her. ''If you guys need anything just call.'' she trailed off back to the kitchen. ''Elizabeth is that your boyfriend?'' Jack asked. ''No Jack.'' I looked at Dan who looked slightly disappointed. I moved over to him asking him quietly if he'd like to go upstairs, he nodded. I took his hand a lead him upstairs to my room. I opened my door. ''Awesome, your a blink fan.'' he said looking round at my posters. ''Yes, they're my favourite band!'' he sat down on my bed and I sat next to him, leaning further back so I was lying, he lay next to me. He moved closer to me and I rested my head on his chest. We were just laying there talking about ourselves, getting to know each other. ''I really like you.'' Dan said without a hesitation. I would kill for confidence like that. I looked up at him, our faces moving closer together until his lips found my lips. I moved my arms around his neck and his hands were pressed against my hips. He broke off the kiss and we were just staring into each others eyes. Eventually we moved away from each other and decided to head back downstairs. ''Hey mum, when will Dad be home?'' Jack asked. ''Daddy's working late tonight Jacky.'' ''On his first day?'' I asked. My mum shot me a look which made me back off. What was my dad really up to? ''Dan, how long are you staying for?'' she asked him changing the subject. ''I should probably get going soon actually.'' He grabbed his jacket that he'd put down with my bag and opened the door. I followed him out to say goodbye properly. ''Are you walking to school tomorrow?'' he asked. ''Yes, I am.'' ''I'll come here about 8:15 then?'' he smiled. ''sounds like a plan.'' he kissed my cheek before heading off home. Oh what a great first day.
