Wake me up. Dan X reader

Give me love

*Your POV* (first person)

Glaring at my reflection i touch my wrist and trace my scars. More, more than last time. Dan dealt with it each time the same way, it feels automatic. He'll tell me it's okay, that he loves me, that it's not my fault.

He wouldn't lie, but it's happened so often that I could say the words perfectly in time as they escape his lips. He's trying so hard, so hard to care for me.

Today is the trial, I'm scared. I wasn't yesterday, I was confident. But now that it's chased me up and the day has arrived; 11th August, I'm scared. I'm terrified.

I breathe in and out slowly, straitening my dress. Black, I chose a black skater dress and black shoes. (Flat shoes cos I would fall XD)

I let my (Your hair colour) hair fall around my shoulders and breath out heavily.

Dan is standing in the door way smiling weakly.

"You look beautiful." He said softly.

He walked over and held me from behind, his hands slid over my waist and met at my stomach. His lips pressed against my neck, he rested his head on my shoulder. We looked in the mirror and smiled.

"Today will be fine. We've done nothing wrong, it's all fallen on his shoulders." He reassured me.

Our frosty, timeless reflection mimicked our happiness. It shows a false image. We may smile and laugh, but inside we scream and sob.

"You two look like a painting, so in love, so emotionally tested, so strong together... So perfectly connected that you look empty alone. I'm so sorry I got between you both. I regret a lot, but kissing Y/N is by far the worst thing I've ever done. To you and Dan, I really messed up. I hope I can make that up to you. I will be there for you, you're family to me. Forever, when you get married, when you have kids, when they grow up and leave home, when they have children and when you two grow old. I want to be beside you both because you are like siblings to me." Phil began to tear up and sob.

Dan and I run over and hug him from both sides.

"I couldn't have asked for a better brother Phil, my family want nothing to do with my YouTube career so, since that's my life you are my family." Dan cried.

"I don't have any family so you and the guys definitely take that role." I pitch in.

We hug for what feels like hours before stepping into the taxi.

Arriving at the court was very hard.

Dan got out and gave me a hand out of the taxi.

The sun shines on my ring, seeing it shimmer makes me smile.

It gives me the confidence to enter the room.

Jim sat at the front with a long faced lawyer, his pinstripe suit was creased and dirty. He was clearly stuck for business, a fraud perhaps. Seeing the shabby lawyer gave me hope, Jim might get what he deserves.

After hours of arguing and presenting evidence. The court went to make a decision.

Phil stood up and began to stride towards Jim, his arms swung proudly.

I held my breath, he looked him in the eye.

I could only hear faint murmurs but I could hear something I didn't like.

"I can get out... Don't worry... I still can Phil... Her... Good luck... Lock your doors... Stay safe..."

Phil turned around pale faced and stiff, he looked like he'd seen a ghost.

He sat down in silence and turned to me.

I frowned in confusion as he pulled me into a hug.

The court reappeared.

My heart pounded against my ribs.

"The court sentences you to life in prison..."

I exhale loudly.

My head falls onto Dan's shoulder, he put his arm around my shoulder and lifted his head proudly, making sure to catch Jim's eye.

Phil squeezed my hand and sighed contently.

We just sat there for a moment.

Phil stood up, touched our shoulders and left.

After a while Dan and I stood up and walked away from the dark court room hand in hand.

He looked incredible in the starlight. His tailored black suit, his brown soft hair and his gorgeous, hazel eyes.

I look up at him and sit on a bench with him.

His eyes explore my face and he bites his lip. I run my fingers through his hair and he places a hand on my thigh.

We lean in slowly and kiss passionately and deeply.

As the kiss intensifies we shuffle closer and wrap our arms around each other.

His hands moving over my waist, mine supporting his neck.

We pull away breathless, "I love you Y/N" he breathed.

I blush, "I love you too Dan." I smile.
