He looked around. There were metal walls. Grey metal walls. No bed, no carpet, no tile, no windows. No doors. Just him and his cracked body mirror planted on the ground.

"Dan. Are you sure you're okay?" His broken reflection taunted.

"I-I'm-" Dan shook. Sitting on his mirror that was on ground looking down.

'C'mon Dan. Choke out the words.'

"I- I'm f- fi-" He broke into sobs. His reflection laughed at him.

"Weak. Pathetic. What the hell is wrong with you? You can't even say two words!" Dan curled up in a ball. Tears spilled out continuously without him realizing.

"Leave me alone." Dan begged. He was tired. Of fighting, of breathing, of the night, of fake smiling. He was done. He wanted this gone. No matter what it took.

"Oh you haven't realized it yet. Have you? Oh Daniel James Howell I thought you were smarter than this."

This part was never in his dream. And even Dan when was dreaming he knew too.

Dan looked confused. The mirror was no longer on the floor. Dan leaped from the ground afraid and backed into the wall behind him. When himself confronted him.

"Daniel this is the room you can never leave-"

"Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. " Dan muttered throwing his head against the wall. He laughed. Himself laughed. At himself.... Dan found this concept scary and confusing, because there were no one mirrors, so he could there still be a reflection?

"Dan!" He yelled grabbing Dan's attention. "This room is forever in your mind. In here you will always be, even if you wake up."

Tears wells in Dan's eyes. It couldn't be true. It can't be true. It's a dream. It's only a dream.... wasn't it?

"Dan. You're-"

Dan woke up panting and sweating.it was 09:07. His dream changed. But...why? He tried to think of what happened yesterday...

Emily.
Could she be- no. Dan immediately pushed out the possibility. No. Way.

Dan contemplated this. He had a good time. A really good time. The closest to happy he's even been. Maybe Emily was good for him....

Which is why they set a second date. For today, to get to know each other better. It could have been later but Dan was secretly anxious to see her again.

In a way this is all a positive thing. Someone Dan's mum would let him date and actually want him too, and maybe he liked Emily.

-------------

Dan put on a black hoodie, black jeans, and converse (The usual).

"Bye mum!" Dan rushed running out the door. His mum didn't have time to ask Dan questions. Because, well guess.

Dan was late.

Luckily the park wasn't too far away. Only two hundred fifty-ish meters. Only. Dan felt butterflies in his stomach.

Oh hell no.

Dan thought.

Selfish
You realize she doesn't really like you
Right?
She just feels bad for you
She's pretending
Get the hint.

Dan stopped. The voices. Too much. Too much. It always was, and it never stopped.

Go back home
Grab the razor
You need it Dan
To feel alive
To be alive
You need it
Turn around

And his feet obeyed.

Start walking.
And say goodbye to Emily
She hated you anyway
It's best like this.

And he started walking, when he didn't want to. He wanted to stay, to see Emily, to get help, but that wasn't a option.

"I'm sorry Emily." He whispered. Heading out of the park, into hell.

"Sorry for what?" A voice answered sending Dan to jump three feet in the air.

"E-Emily!" Dan yelled surprised. " I-I'm sorry for b-being late." Dan lied.

"Oh don't worry about that." She said holding his hands. "Dan.... Are you okay?" She asked tilting her head slightly.

"I'm fine." Dan added with a fake smile.

Emily gave him a sad smile and hugged him.

"Don't lie to me." She asked. And Dan sobbed. He sobbed his heart out. Because someone was finally there, someone who finally cared. Someone who noticed his cries.

"I'm always here Dan. Always. Don't ever forget that." Emily told him.

Dan ignored the voices and listened to her voice. And in this.... he found comfort. Something he hasn't felt in a very long time.

So
1. I wasn't expecting anyone to read this tbh so thank You for actually giving it a shot. Should I make the chapters shorter? Longer? Hm.

2. How is everyone liking Emily? Phil is comming into the story VERY VERY soon. I've just decided which chapter.

Thanks again.
