Meeting Dan (Danisnotonfire)

Chapter 16 - We'll be okay

Dan's POV

2 days had passed since Ivy had woken up. I had spent all my time at the hospital with her, talking through what had happened. But now I was at home. I decided to head home this morning to clean myself up and sort out some things. The doctors had said that she should be able to come home tomorrow, so everything had to be perfect. Phil was away visiting his parents for a few days, so I had the opportunity to make the apartment look just right. I quickly made myself some lunch before running to the shop to get a few things. I picked up some cooking ingredients, some cute decorations, and some flowers to take to Ivy later on that day. She meant everything to me, and I was so glad that she was going to be okay. Once I returned home, I unpacked my ingredients and looked up a cake recipe on my phone. None other than a Delia Smith one of course! I made a pretty decent chocolate cake, and began to decorate the apartment before heading back to the hospital. I had only been gone for a few hours, but I hated the thought of her being alone. I grabbed my jacket and put on my shoes before calling a taxi. I then grabbed the roses I had bought her and made my way down stairs.

Once I had reached the hospital I headed towards the ward where Ivy was staying. I headed over to her room and saw her fast asleep. I headed inside quietly, trying hard not to wake her and placed the roses on the table next to her bed. I sat down on the seat and pulled out my phone to check twitter. As I did this, I realised that something had to be done. I loved my fans, but the fact that some of them had said the things that they did to my girlfriend made me feel sick. I tip-toed out of the room and gently closed the door before turning on the video on my phone. I had never done a video like this, but I knew that this had to happen. I sat down on the seat in the empty hallway and began to record myself..

"Hey guys, so you may be wondering why I haven't been about much for the last few days, and also why I am sitting in a hospital corridor. Well, as some of you may know, I had a party for my birthday the other day, which my friend Alfie vlogged. Now on that video, there were some really horrible comments aimed at my girlfriend. I was going to do a sit down video with her soon, and tell you guys, but we wanted the time to be right. Anyway, that's not really the point. There were so many awful comments on that video, some of them telling her to kill herself. Now I know this isn't aimed at all of you, but for those of you that did this, I can never forgive you. I am currently sitting in the hospital because my girlfriend tried to end her own life. I thought she was going to die. Luckily she is on the mend, and she will be okay. But in all honesty, i'm not sure I can do this anymore. I can't put her at risk, because she is the most important person in the world to me, and I can't stand seeing her hurt by awful comments. The point is, I need to consider where this channel is going to go. Because if these comments are going to be a regular thing, then my YouTube channel cannot continue. I hope you respect this guys, and I will be sure to let you guys know soon about what is happening. But right now, I need to be with the love of my life. So i'll catch you later. Bye guys."

I stopped recording and sighed a huge sigh. No one could ever understand how much my channel meant to me, but I loved Ivy more. And there was no way that I was going to let anything like this happen again. I went onto YouTube and uploaded the video straight from my phone. I walked back into Ivy's room and placed my phone on the table as it continued to upload the video. As I took a seat I saw Ivy began to wake up. "Hey beautiful, how are you feeling?" She sat up quickly looking better than ever. "Yeah, I feel really good actually! The doctor came in earlier and said that I could be discharged later on today!" I jumped out of my seat and pulled her into a huge hug. "Babe, that's brilliant!" We both smiled and began to laugh as I played with her hair and gave her a kiss.

Ivy's POV

A few hours had passed and Dan and I has spent the entire time chatting about the most random things, as per usual. As we were having an intense game of 20 questions the doctor walked in and told us that I was good to leave. I felt so happy! I knew things were going to be tough once I got home, but I knew that I needed to be honest with Dan and that we would get through this together. Dan called a taxi as I gathered up my things and then we headed out the hospital hand in hand. We stood in the cold for a while until the taxi eventually arrived and we both climbed in and headed back to Dan's apartment. I text Leah telling her the good news and she replied saying that she would pop over later on. As we finally reached Dan's apartment we approached his door and he suddenly stood in front of the door not letting me go past. "Right, you need to close your eyes okay? I have a surprise for you." I giggled and agreed to close my eyes, as I heard him putting the key in the door. He took my hands and lead me into the apartment closing the door behind me. "Okay, open." I opened my eyes and couldn't believe what I saw. The lounge was covered in fairy lights, there was candles all around the room, and there were rose petals scattered everywhere. "You did this all for me?" I began to cry slightly because I couldn't believe how much he cared about me. "I love you Ivy. And I don't want to lose you. So please, never scare me like that again okay? Just talk to me. We'll be okay." I threw my hands around his neck and kissed him tenderly. After we both pulled away, I sat on the sofa as Dan bought in the most delicious looking cake I had ever seen in my life! He cut us off a piece each and we dug in whilst watching SpongeBob on TV. Yes how romantic, I know!

Dan's POV

I can't explain how good it felt to have Ivy back home and in my arms. She was all mine, and I was never going to let her go. I grabbed the TV remote and turned off the television before standing up off of the sofa. "Hey I was watching that!". Ivy laughed and gently punched my arm before I took her hand and pulled her up. I gave her a cheeky smile before pulling her towards my bedroom. You have no idea how long I had been wanting to do this. It's not like it was our first time, but I was craving her, and I knew she felt the same. We entered my bedroom and I gently pushed her onto my bed before climbing on top of her. I began to kiss her lips tenderly, before biting her lip and running my tongue across her bottom lip. I pulled off her t shirt before kissing her slowly down her body. I could hear her moan slightly as she pulled off my t-shirt. I looked up at her giving her a cheeky wink before we both completely undressed each other and climbed underneath the duvet. And well, it all took off from there..

We both collapsed onto the bed, breathing heavily and giggling slightly. I hadn't felt this good in a long time. We both had to compose ourselves quickly as we heard a knocking at the door. Leah was coming over to see Ivy and we had both completely lost track of the time. Ivy quickly threw on some joggers and a muse t-shirt before hurrying to the door. I laughed before quickly heading into the bathroom to have a shower. I closed the bathroom door and just stood there. I hadn't even been in here since that night when I found Ivy in here. My eyes were fixated on the floor and I had images flashing through my head. The pills, the blood, her lifeless body. I tried to shake these thoughts off, but I felt a single tear roll down my cheek. But then I remembered what had just happened. How happy Ivy was now, how perfect our relationship was. I began to smile and got into the shower, promising myself not to think about that night anymore.

Ivy's POV

Once I heard the bathroom door shut, I opened the front door and let Leah inside. She pulled me into a huge hug, before we both went and sat on the sofa to talk about everything. After catching up on what I had missed in the past two days, I was shocked at what Leah said to me. "So, how do you feel about what Dan said in the video then." I gave her a confused look. "What video?". Leah looked at me awkwardly, like she wasn't meant to tell me about this video. "Umm, well maybe I should leave Dan to tell you. Look, I have to head back home anyway, i'll see you later." She quickly got up and headed out the door. What was Dan hiding from me?

I heard the shower stop and saw Dan head into his room out the corner of my eye. I followed him into his room and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Dan, what's this video that Leah is telling me about?". He quickly turned around and sighed. "Well, I think it's best if you just watch it." He pulled his laptop up from the floor and showed me the video which he had uploaded that day. I watched it closely, and once it had ended I had the most shocked expression on my face. "Dan, are you serious? You can't stop making videos because of this! I won't let you!." "Ivy, I can't keep making them if people are going to be so horrible to you! It isn't fair!". I sighed. I didn't want Dan to stop making videos, but I wasn't keen on the idea of getting lots of hate. "Look, we'll be okay. People may see this and realise what they're doing. Maybe if we do a video together, then that might help?". His face lit up. It was obvious he didn't want to stop making videos, so he agreed to this idea. Dan put up a tweet and a Facebook status asking for some 'would you rather' questions for us to answer. Before long, there were hundreds, maybe even thousands of questions. Dan told me to choose some whilst he set up his camera. Once he had done he took my hands and looked into my eyes. "You sure you want to do this?". I nodded and we both sat down on the bed and looked into the camera. We filmed the video in about 30 minutes and both sat together editing it. It felt good to be in one of Dan's videos, considering how much I used to wish that something like this would happen! Once we had done, we uploaded the video and waited whilst it processed. We both looked at each other and decided to have some dinner whilst we waited. After finishing our stir fry which Dan had made, we saw that the video was up, and there was already loads of comments. We scrolled through the comments together and I could not believe what I saw.

"Aw you two are so cute together! So happy for you!!"

"Omg you guys, you're perfect!"

"Dan she is stunning!"

"Please make more videos together?! Girlfriend tag?! Make up videos?!"

Dan looked over to me and pulled me into a huge hug. This was amazing! I mean sure there were the odd hateful comments but hardly any compared to last time! We closed the laptop and headed over to bed. We were both shattered and I was really looking forward to spending the night in a comfy bed! The hospital bed was so awful, and it was lonely! We got into our PJ's and cuddled up together. "Thank you for everything Dan." I felt him kiss my head and he whispered in my ear. "You're welcome darling. We're going to be okay now."
