Why me? ( Dan Howell Fan fiction)

Chapter 5

Dan’s POV

It’s been a day since Demi posted her video, I think I’ve watched Demi’s new video about 200 times just going over the beginning where she says that she had a massive family related problem and then remembering that she said that she only had Kelly left. ‘What happened to her family?’ ‘Will I ever know?’ ‘Do I want to know what happened?’ ‘How much are they both keeping from me and Phil?’ where just a few of the millions of questions going through my head.

“Hey Dan come on they aren’t going to be able to keep the food long forever!” Phil yelled from the bottom of the stairs. As we’re having dinner at theirs today. We haven’t seen them all day as apparently it takes all day to cook. I have no idea what it is all I know about it is that the recipe has been in Demi’s family for generations and she’s the only one who knows the full recipe. As well as it’s one of Kelly’s favourites, so it has to be good right?

I headed down the stairs and I saw Phil waiting at the front door. “Sorry mate but I was working on a video idea.” I lied as I have a feeling Phil would think I was crazy.

“It’s OK but can we please go now as I’m dying to see what it is she cooked!” Phil asked with a  really exited tone of voice I just laughed and nodded my head.

After I knocked on the door Demi opened it in a Doctor Who apron which was the 11th doctor’s clothes which made me and Phil chuckle at the sight of her as she blushed as soon as she realised that she was still wearing it. We were also hit by the most delectable smell that I have ever smelled.

“So what are we eating because it smells like heaven?” I asked with a smile as we walked in to the dining room, and it really did smell like heaven. She smile at my comment and started to blush again, she looked adorable when she blushed.

“You might find it a bit weird, but it’s my family’s ox tail stew. But trust me, it’s amazing.” She said with a shy smile.

“I bet it’s great!” Phil said licking his lips at the smell this made Demi laugh and head into the kitchen. She came back in with Kelly and a massive pot with a ladle in it. Kelly was carrying four bowels and spoons. After she had gave us all two ladles of the stew, and two slices of homemade bread she finally took of her apron and sat down. Phil and I started to eat and it didn’t just smell like heaven but it tasted like it too.

“Holy shit this is amazing how did your family come up with this recipe?” I exclaimed after I had taken my first ‘bite’. She just blushed and the comment and finished what she was eating.

“Well my family never really had a lot of money and when my great, great, great grandma needed to feed 8 people she went to the butchers and got a cheap piece of meat, and it was so good that it just stuck as it was cheap to make and you can freeze it and keep it for a month so this would be about 3 or 4 meals for my family. The girls in the family always gets the recipe excluding my dad.” She said with a shy smile I guess she hated to admit to us that she was kinda poor.

“Wow there’s a lot of family history here then. How come your dad got the recipe then?” I said with a smile still eating the stew as it was addictive.

“My dad was the only one out of his family that actually liked to cook so he got it instead of his sisters.” She said with a fully blown smile.

“How could your family not eat the whole pot in one go I know mine would.” Phil said as he looked up at her still eating it.

“We didn’t really have the choice, even though it’s cheap to make we still couldn’t afford to. The only exception was when either Kelly came round or it was winter and we had ran out of money to put in the gas meter” She said with a voice cracking near the end.
