Broken: Chapter 3

*Warning may be Upsetting*

I'm dreaming aren't I? Or have I died and gone up above? Because amazing things like this don't haven't to people like me. As a result of an awful thing something beautiful appears? That something is Dan Howell.

He's looking at me and I'm looking back. Chocolate swirls that seem to be staring into the depths of my soul as if they belong in the gaze. Something I'm not worthy of.

Not too long ago I was just walking carrying on with my boring life and now I'm here and he's smiling. In shock I manage to quietly say

"Um...hi"

His smile widens into a grin, one perfect dimple more prominent than the other.

"Hey, how do you feel?" He replies with a worried edge to his voice.

"My head hurts" I half giggle and shut my mouth instantly. He can't hear my annoying laugh. He gives me a sympathetic look. It's all so normal. Why is it so casual? Daniel James Howell is sitting beside me asking how I feel and I act like this is a natural thing to do?

But it feels natural. It's hard to explain but it feels like a spark in my soul has been ignited. A dull beating that once was my heart replaced. The patches in my head filled and the scars healed.

It doesn't matter what happened earlier. All that matters is now.

Dans POV-

Im dying to know. I blurt it out quickly in a slur of curiosity and pure need.

"What's your name?"

She blinked her long eyelashes quickly before straightening up and saying,

"I'm Katelyn" she whispers. The amazing word fills the air, swooping and soaring around my head. Nothing else could suit her except maybe Perfection.

I don't realise that I'm staring at her and Katelyn becomes self conscious, frantically checking her blanket covers her chest.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare. It's just, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but you are beautiful and your name just keeps adding to your amazingness..." I finish weakly.

A blush grows on her cheeks and dipping her head, says "Um thank you."

"I must have sounded like such a creep! Oh god sorry" I cringe. Dan why do you have to ruin everything?

"Oh no don't worry, you didn't."

We arrive at the hospital and Katelyn is wheeled in. I follow. I pause a minute to clear my head. What is happening to me? I've fallen for girls before but never like this. I literally just met her. I can't afford to slip into the trance of love again. I always mess it up, hurting others and myself. What happened last time cannot happen again. But maybe it won't...maybe she's the one, the angel from above, the only exception.

I catch up and she's now in a small private room with a doctor checking her eyes with a light.

"Yes, I think you'll be fine, miss..."

"Katelyn Charity Wright." She states, the words like liquid gold.

~~~some time later~~~

Kateyln's POV

My head is spinning. The head ache pills they gave me aren't doing anything. I'm now sitting outside the hospital with Dan. He's been so lovely so far.

"Hey, there's a taxi." He says,"I can't let you go home on your own, do you need a lift?"

I contemplate for a second

"Yes, please." I can deal with Tabby later, she'll understand I hope...

I slide into the back seat and Mr. Howell follows. It's quite cramped so we are touching hips. He's so tall, even when I'm sitting he towers above making it harder for me to reach his eyes with mine. That sucks.

"Before I forget, shall we exchange numbers? I would love to keep in touch with you" he says and I can tell he's nervous.

Dan. Howell. Is. Giving. Me. His. Number. Wow. He wants mine too and that's just...oh my god. Don't be weird Kate.

"Oh yes of course" I grin back.

I hand him my iPhone and he hands me his. I enter my number and pass it back. Dan doesn't take it though, he's busy taking a photo with my phone of him doing an "ironic" duck face.

I can't help but burst out laughing. He passes it back and I see in my contact list:

"Danny babessss" along side a brilliant duck faced Dan.

I chuckle and look at the ceiling shaking my head.

"Couldn't help it" he says with a wink. I melt. What have I ever done to deserve this?! Squeezed next to Daniel James Howell, his number saved in my phone, and I never want it to end.
