Memories and Strangers (A danisnotonfire fanfic )

7: Morning sun

OK here we go, as promised chapter 7. It might be that I upload at weird times, but i live in Germany so i sleep at my night, where it might be day at your place ^^

I just totally freaked out because I got my first VOTE. So whoever did that, Thank You, you just made my day <3

Enjoy (:

Dans POV

“Hey Dan. I have great news! Some Lady just called and told me she found your phone. She should be there in a minute”, Phil shouted from his room as I came home. I was freezing. But the thought of getting my phone back and finally hearing Fays’ voice again made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I put off my coat and my shoes and sat down on the couch.

After a view minutes I heard the doorbell and a nice old Lady handed me my phone. I was more than grateful and gave her some chocolaty things and money.

Then, right after I closed the door, I switched my phone on. I had 11 missed calls.

 11!?

Has something happened?!

 I checked and they were all from Fay! I told her to call me today and then I didn’t pick up. What was she thinking? What if she thought I wouldn’t care about her? What if something happened to her and she needed help? I wouldn’t have been there for her!

I called her back immediately.

It ringed two times, then Claire picked up. Claire?

 ”Hey. This is Claire. Fay is currently unavailable. The only person she will talk to has brown hair and left her alone today”.

 ”Uhm. This is Dan. I…” I heard them whisper and then Fays lovely voice was talking to me:

”Dan? Where were you today? I tried to call you”. She sounded like she was about to cry. I felt so sorry, I wanted to hug her and never let her go. Why wasn’t she just here?

”I’m so sorry. My phone must have fallen out of my pocket and like one minute ago an old lady found it and brought it to me. I missed you so much!”. I wasn’t sure if I should tell her, that I’ve been sitting in front of their apartment for an hour or two. Would I sound like a stalker?

”I missed you, too. Can we meet tomorrow?”. My heart jumped. Of course we could meet. I would right away make my video, then I’d have time tomorrow!

”Of course we can. I’ll fetch you at 2 pm right. Just be home and wear something nice”, I smiled into the phone, even though she couldn’t see it. Only the thought of taking her in my arms tomorrow made me bust with happiness.

”I will be there”, she said, “See you tomorrow”.

I hanged up and couldn’t stop grinning. 

Fays POV

 I woke up early. The sun was about to rise, so it was dark and I couldn’t see very well. I switched on my light and got up to take a shower. I still felt stuffed and disgusting from last night. I hated to feel like that.

So why did you eat so much then? Do you think Dan will like you like that?

This hit me. What if Dan thought I wasn’t beautiful. What if he wouldn’t want to be with me? 

I couldn’t let that happen. Not again! This time I’ll fight for it!

 I unwrapped the towel and looked at me in the mirror. I didn’t like what I saw. My tummy wasn't completely flat. My thighs were too big.

So I made the decision to loose weight. In order to be stunning and beautiful! Just like I always wanted since I was fifteen.

I was starting a new life. So why not change the way I look a little?

 The clock said it was 7 am and I went to the bathroom window to watch the sun rise.

 It was magical. The tops of the skyscrapers were dipped into a deep orange light. It looked like a glowing ocean of warm light.

The sky was coloured in all the different colours of the rainbow. I always felt calm, seeing a rainbow coloured sunrise. For me it was a sign. A sign for a great day. And this day would be great! 

I stood at the window just watching the lights changing from intense colours to a cold blue for half an hour.

Then I brushed my teeth, trying to get the taste of crisps out.

I heard Claire making coffee in the kitchen and went to say good morning.

After breakfast Claire went to work. It was Monday and she somehow managed to get a job before we even got here.

I decided to finally paint again. I didn't for a long time. So I unpacked my new acrylic colours and sat down on the living room floor. I chose to paint the sunrise from this morning. I tried to make the colours melt into each other but somehow didn’t manage to get the exact look I wanted. After some time I changed the way of painting and turned the whole thing into an abstract scenery. The rainbow was melting into watery dark lines and some dry black spots broke the harmony. Then I added some plants growing into the picture from the sides. I never thought about, why I painted the things the way I did. Someone once told me it had a meaning. That you could read my mood from it, but I didn’t believe that. My hands were creating their own masterpiece.

Like they always did.

I missed painting. I used to paint way more often when I was younger. I was never really good at painting realistic things but I was in love with abstract ones. 

When I was finished I put the picture on the window cill to let it dry and applied some varnish spray afterwards. I was quite happy with how it turned out. 

 Then I took a look at my watch. It was 1.45 pm. I had fifteen minutes to get ready! Shit!!

 Hectically I started to dig into the bags of clothes. I decided to go for a red shirt-dress with brown leggings. 

 Then I quickly applied some powder, mascara and eyeliner. I tried to straighten the messy knot of curls, that called itself hair.

It didn't work a all so I just threw it into a messy ponytial and defined my curls. Then I clipped a red flower into my hair to get my fringe aside.

I looked at the scars and the new skincoloured plaster on my forehead. He would have to live with that, I thought and sighed. 

Still I wasn’t happy with my outfit so I wrapped a huge beige scarf around my neck. By the time it was finished the bell rang and I ran up to the door. I took a deep breath and felt butterflies going crazy in my tummy, before I opened the door.

There he was.

His brown perfect eyes.

His perfect smile.

As he hugged me a little crow of delight escaped my throat. I was so happy to see him.

He took my hand and pulled me out the door.

”Ready for a great day?”, he asked.

I hope you liked it (:
