Chapter 2:

*Sophie POV*

Things I know to be true;

My name is Sophia Marie Howell

I'm 19 and turning 20

My brother is Dan Howell

My parents are dead.

I always do this when I'm upset or freaking out, I state things I know. It's weird but it calms me down.

Right now though I don't think I can be calm, my parents both died right in front of me and my brother wants me to leave my whole life behind and move in with him. Woah.

"W- What?" I stuttered into the phone.

"Move in with me" Dan replied slowly, as if I didn't understand the first time. But I did I got it clear as day, I guess I'm still in major shock... But who wouldn't be.

"But Dan what about my life and everything here?" I started again

"You have no family down there Soph" he said timidly as if talking to a baby, which I certainly was not! He was one year older than me. "It's for the best, ok? We both need each other ok" he started again. I was about to speak when a voice cut through on the line.

"Dan it's two in the morning get off the bloody phone!" The voice yelled.

"Phil shut up! I'm speaking with my sister!" Dan yelled back. Phil? Who's Phil? I wondered in my mind as I continued to listen to them bicker back and forth.

"And why the hell is she calling you at two thirty in the bloody morning!?" Phil yelled back. His voice was clearer now, I guess he had entered Dan's room. "Why are you crying?" Phil asked softer than before. Even when he was yelling he didn't have a very angry voice.

"My- Our parents... They've passed away.." Dan answered back slowly. The line went silent, all I could here was Dan sniffling a little.

"Dan I'm sorry.. I, I didn't know.. I'll just.. Um leave you to it then. Good night." Phil whispered. I heard footsteps and then Dan's voice again.

"Please, come live with me Sophie.." Dan whimpered over the phone. Even though he was older, he seemed so fragile right now. I wanted to give him a hug and tell him everything would be alright. But it wouldn't, not now. Our parents had always loved us deeply and living without them would be hard, for both of us...

"Soph?" I heard Dan's voice again, it was quiet and broken. This was hurting me as well. Thinking about him, with his knees to his chest, tears running down his face, him shaking. No that's enough.

"Dan.. Ok" I breathed out after of moment of silence. "I'll come."

---------------------------------------------

* 2 and a half weeks later *

"Done." I said as I taped the last box shut. I'd done it. I packed all my things and gotten rid of or donated most of my parents things. This has got to be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

"Ok well it's a two hour drive up to my flat so we better get going.." Dan said looking around the empty house.

"It's so strange seeing it all packed up." I sighed as Dan gave a side hug. I carefully picked up the two vases holding our parents ashes, my eyes started to water but I snapped out of it knowing they weren't in pain anymore.

We had, had a funeral the week after only inviting family, not even that Phil guy was there. We gave the house to the bank and packed everything up.

I had kept all the picture albums and some of my mum and dads clothes, I liked to sleep in them. It made me feel safe and warm. I basically packed up my entire room, Dan said the room he had for me up at his flat was white at the moment so I could decorate it however I wanted. Which is good, I guess.. I mean I can do whatever I want to it now.

"Sophie let's go! I don't like driving in the dark!" Dan yelled from the car. He didn't exactly own a car so he had rented one of those moving van things, just for this.

"Coming!" I yelled back taking one last glance around the house. Then I closed the door and locked it and placed the keys under the welcome mat. This was hard, this was basically where I had grown up, so leaving all this behind was hard. My friends and everything. All gone left behind, memories were all that I had left. Ok... So I'm being a bit dramatic... We had skype, facebook, twitter, email and other things to stay connected but not being face to face was just going to be horrible!

I walked to the truck and placed the vases into my bag, safe and sound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a very long three and a half hours of driving and eating and pitstops we finally arrived at Dan's flat.

"I'm so tired" I whined as we put the boxes into the elevator. I only had like 11 medium sized boxes, so I mean it's not that much.

On the elevator ride up Dan spoke up

"Um.. Well Sophie.. Me and Phil aren't very good at building things so your bed isn't.. Um.. It isn't finished." he said awkwardly. I was about to speak when I was interrupted by Dan.

"So if you want you can just sleep in my bed and i'll sleep on the couch."

He said looking down and rubbing his arm. Then the elevator bell dinged meaning we had reached our floor. We made quick work of getting all the boxes out of the elevator, since they weren't that heavy it only took us like five minutes to get them all out.

"Dan.. I'll sleep in your room." I started off as Dan nodded his head and unlocked the door to his flat and started bringing boxes in.

"But only if you'll sleep with me?" I said but it sounded more like a question. I've just felt so alone. I wanted someone to just hug me and I wanted to be warm, and who better than my big brother?! Right?

Dan sighed but then smiled and ruffled my brown hair. We had the same chocolate brown hair. Our eyes were different though he had brown eyes I had sky blue ones. He was like 6 feet tall and I was only like 5'8 and a half. I hated being shorter than him. We both had basically the same accent and vocabulary because of Winnie the Pooh. I don't care what you say Winnie was and is my favorite. I also think the fact that were both gamers has to do something with the fact were so close and again, similar vocabulary.

"Ok you weirdo." he smiled. I unpacked my pajamas and tooth brush and toothpaste and got ready for bed. I walked into Dan's room and snuggled under the covers into his chest.

"Welcome to your new home Sophie." Dan whispered. I smiled and closed my eyes falling deeper and deeper into sleep.
