Wake me up. Dan X reader

Us

*Dan's POV*

If only she knew what I'd done.

If only she knew the real reason her mother died.

I must get over this.

She can never know about this... Deal that we forged. It would kill her, I would kill her. She is in danger of herself. I can protect her...

Phil.

He can't know either. It would break him, knowing what I am, what I did.

Text messages:

Jim: I can't let you be with Y/N.

Dan: Oh please. Seriously don't go there, I know what you are.

Jim: I know where she lives Dan, one wrong decision is all it takes. Just one.

Dan: What are you saying?

Jim: It's difficult to be with someone with no heartbeat.

Dan: Think about this! Murder won't exactly improve the situation!

Jim: Maybe we can come up with a compromise.

Dan: What kind of compromise?

Jim: I won't touch Y/N, I will however do more than just touch you. Take her place.

Dan: If it'll save her then I'll do it.

Jim: You don't know when, how or where but I'm coming for you Daniel. I'm coming for you and I'm going to make you suffer. I'm going to make you pay... Tell no one, it'll only make things worse.

Dan: Goodbye Jim, I hope you know how badly things will go. One way or another I will make sure you get what you deserve, even if I'm not there to see it.

Jim: I wouldn't do that Dan, after all there's a lot resting on your shoulders and I'm sure Y/N won't be able to handle losing anymore loved ones. Be safe Daniel, be safe and wise...

Texts:

Jim: Y/N knows.

Dan: How do you know that?

Jim: That's not important, you fucked up Dan, you really fucked up. You called Y/N, you got help, you survived, you... Really messed up you know that Dan? You don't know what you've done.

Dan: What are you doing?

Jim: You'll see, very soon.

Dan: I swear to god if you hurt Y/N!

Jim: Oh I'm not laying a finger on her, I have something else in mind. She will however still suffer. Because of you. Well done. Keep quiet though, I wouldn't want to hurt Y/N or Phil.

Dan: You're going to regret this.

Jim: You agreed to this Dan! If I go down you're coming with me, you won't rest easy if that's the case!

*Present*

He killed her because I lived. To punish me through Y/N.

I am guilty and responsible for her death.

Y/N is getting better at hiding her emotions.

I know she's burning inside, because of me. I am too.

It's twelve am. Midnight.

A frosty moon took its place in the sky and illuminated my room.

I sat at the piano and brushed away the dust from the lid.

I lifted the creaky lid and traced the keys. The moon sat in front of my eyes, entrancing and mystical.

I gently pressed each key. My playing became passionate and strong, I pounded the keys and raced up the length of the piano.

I looked at the moon, it seemed sad, it seemed to cry. With me, it cried.

With him it cried.

With her it cried.

With us it cried.

I was unaware of all my surroundings.

I was absorbed entirely in the light of the ancient, elegant moon.

🎵 Time suspended in slow motion not a sound.

Walking on a wire above the ground.

Don't look down.

And say you'll go with me tonight.🎵
