Dan stayed until the night school started again leaving me with my lonely bed and my boring life.

1 month later

"DAN!! DAN OMG ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! DAAAAAAAN!" "(y/n)! Wake up you're dreaming!" my mums calm voice tells me as she gently shakes my shoulders to wake me up. I sit up right and hug her. "that was horrible" I sob into my mum's shoulder. "it was just a dream" she tells me as she rubs my back. "I dreamed that Dan died" "how did he die?" she asks. " he was in a cab and it crashed right into a lamppost." I sigh. "it wasn't the cabbie's fault tho. It was extremely foggy and suddenly another car came toward Dan's cab. The cabbie tried to dodge it and hit a lamppost. Then there was a lot of broken glass and blood. So much blood mum.." "that's terrible, dear... but I'm sure Dan's just fine, it was just a dream after all. Now try to sleep again, you have school tomorrow, darling" with that she kisses me goodnight and goes back to sleep. I should be used to those nightmares by now, as they started to haunt me again since Dan went back to London. This one was different from the other dreams I've had so fare tho, he never died before...
After tossing and turning in my bed for about half an hour I decide to call Dan, just in case.

one ring.. two rings... three rings... come on Dan! pick up your damn phone ffs! he doesn't pick up tho instead the mail box tells me to leave a message. I try ringing Phil instead.

one ring... "(y/n)?" "Yeah it's me... Is Dan okay?" "yeah... why wouldn't he be?" he asks confused. "oh thank god!" I sigh relieved "what's the matter (y/n)?" "oh.. it's... it's stupid really... I just had a dumb nightmare and when I called Dan he didn't pick up his phone.. sorry to bother you so late at night.." "don't be sorry it's alright" Phil says kindly "wanna talk to Dan maybe? I'm sure that'll cheer you up!" "Phil I'm fine re-" "DAAAAAAAAAAANIEL!" Phil shouts. that goddamn idiot "How may I help you Phillip?" I hear Dan say in an even posher- I mean more articulate accent than usual. "Your girlfriend wanted to make sure you're alright" Phil laughs. "(y/n) what's wrong?" he asks slightly concerned. "it's nothing really. I just had a nightmare and... well.. " "oh, no.." he sighs. "so you're having nightmares again?" "well... yeah.. but I'm seriously fine, don't worry." he sighs again "...wanna tell me about it?" "you were in a car crash and... well.. you..." I take a deep breath. "you died..." I feel a tear running down my cheeks.. "oh god... well I'm fine.." "thank god! what would I do without you?" "probably live with 50cats and be miserable all the time" he laughs and then stops abruptly. "(y/n)?" "yeah?" "I love you and I'll always be there for you, okay?" "I know that Dan" I smile "and I love you, too, but why do you tell me all this?" "because it's true and... I.. I just really wanna hug you right now until you fall asleep in my arms so I can make sure that you don't have any more nightmares." my heart hurts as he says this. "I miss you Dan. I miss falling asleep to your steady breathing and waking up wrapped up in your arms." he giggles "me too love. Long distance relationships sure are a lot worse than they seem...
