Things We Lost To The FlΔmes (BΔSTILLE fanfic)

Δfter The Show

We headed out the back after all the tough security people helped put the equipment back into the van. There were a few fans waiting behind, hoping to see Bastille.

"Dan!" A girl, about 17, screamed as we walked out.

"Hi" Dan said awkwardly walking over to the group of girls.

"Kyle!" Another girl screamed as Kyle walked out.

People were screaming "Dan" "Kyle" "Woody" "Will" all around me. I just stood behind them out of the way. I jumped when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"Lily?" A young girl said. She looked about 12.

"Yes?" I said turning around.

She was stood with a Bastille T-shirt and a white pen in her hands.

"Will you please sign my T-shirt?" She asked sweetly.

"Oh, me? Of course sweetie" I smiled taking the pen and writing my name on the shirt.

I heard a low chuckle from behind me and the girl looked up and her eyes went wide. I know who's husky chuckle was. Dan. I handed the pen back to the girl and turned to Dan.

"Dan! Please will you sign my top?" She asked sweetly.

"Yeah, sure" Dan said taking the pen and signing his name.

We both hugged the girl and she ran off to find the others.

"Oohh!" Dan said wiggling his eyebrows.

"What?" I giggled.

"Your first autograph, you're famous Lil!" Dan laughed putting his arm over my shoulder.

I laughed and we joined the others with a group of fan girls.

"Oh my god! Dan! You were amazing!" One of them said. She looked about 20 or something.

"Thanks" Dan laughed nervously.

"Oh my god! Lily right?" She asked turning to me.

"Uh, yeah" I smiled,

"Oh my god! You were so good! I mean how old are you? Like 15 or something? You're pretty brave, and super talented" she said. She spoke quite quickly and it was hart to tell what she was saying.

"Uh, thanks" I smiled.

We signed some more autographs and took some photos. We were getting into the van when I heard someone scream my name.

"LILY!" A familiar voice called.

I turned and ran over to my best friend, Sam.

"OH MY GOD! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU WERE PERFORMING?!" Sam shouted hugging me.

"Uh, Dan wanted it to be a surprise" I giggled.

"Oh my god! I knew you could sing and play but not like that! You're so brave! And you just performed with BASTILLE!" She shrieked.

"Yeah, I did didn't I? OH MY GOD SAM I JUST PERFORMED WITH BASTILLE!" I shouted.

I hadn't realised that this was what I had wanted for a while. And when I say a while, I mean a while.

"Oh my god! Who would have thought that this could have ever happened?!" Sam laughed.

"I know!" I laughed.

"Lil!" Dan called.

I spun around to see Dan waving me to come over to him from inside the van.

"Come on! It's time to go!" Dan called.

"Okay! One sec!" I smiled.

"Aww don't go!" Sam moaned.

"Sorry, Sam, I need to go, we're in Bristol tomorrow, so it's going to take a while to get there." I sighed.

"Okay, will I see you soon?" She asked pleadingly.

"Yes. Definitely before Christmas" I smiled hugging her.

"I'll miss you, Lil" Sam said as I pulled away.

"I'll miss you too Sam" I said running back to the van. "Bye!" I called over my shoulder.

"Bye!" Dan called out of the window.

He opened the door and I climbed over him and sat in between Kyle and him. We waved as we drove off back to dan's flat.

"So you guys have your clothes packed?" Dan asked looking at Will, Woody and Kyle.

"Yeah" that all said in unison.

"Okay, good, we'll just stay at ours tonight and leave first thing tomorrow morning" I smiled when he said 'ours'.

"First thing?" Kyle asked slightly shocked.

"Well, we need to be in Bristol by 3 and it'll take us a few hours to get there" Dan laughed.

"Oh, right" Kyle said.

I got really tired on the way back and I must have fallen asleep because I woke when Dan started poking me. I slowly opened my eyes and lifted my head. I had fallen asleep with my head on Kyle's shoulder. Kyle chuckled as I yawned and stretched my arms out in front of me. I sighed and climbed out of the van. Dan put his arm around my shoulder and I rested my head on him as we walked inside. We all piled inside Dan's-correction, our flat. Kyle ran and jumped on the sofa. He spread out so no one else could sit on it.

"Dibs" Kyle said folding his arms behind his head and closing his eyes.

We all laughed and I trudged to my room. I was extremely tired. I closed the door and changed into my pyjamas. I walked back out and sat on Kyle's feet. Dan was in the kitchen with Woody and Will was leaning against the sofa.

"Who's hungry?" Dan called.

"Me!" Kyle jumped up and I fell onto the floor as he pulled his feet out from underneath me. He laughed and continues to run to the kitchen.

"Ow, me too" I said standing up.

"Meee" Will laughed walking over to the kitchen with me following loosely behind.

"I've got a pizza in the fridge?" Dan asked.

"Sure" Kyle said and the rest of us nodded.

"Okay" Dan pulled out the pizza from the fridge and put it in the oven.

We stood silently as the pizza cooked. I was leaning on Woody when the oven beeped and Dan pulled the pizza out. We all walked over to it and tucked in. It was hot but I didn't care, I was starving. We devoured the pizza quickly and Kyle jumped back onto the sofa before anyone could get to it. He closed his eyes and rolled over.

"Night" Kyle said.

"Night Kyle" we all said. Dan patted his head and Kyle slapped Dan's hand away.

I began to walk over to my room but Dan grabbed my hand and stopped me. I spun around and looked at Dan's sparkly blue eyes.

"Lil, I was thinking that you could come with me and let Will and Woody stay in your room?" Dan said shyly, scratching he back of his neck awkwardly.

"Oh" I blushed. "Sure" I smiled.

"Night guys" Dan called over his shoulder as he walked over to his room.

"Night!" I laughed following him.

I had only been in Dan's room once, for like five minutes and now I was going to be sleeping in his bed... With him. Dan closed the door and I climbed into bed. Dan raised his eyebrows at me and I turned around so he could change. I blushed heavily as I heard his something drop to the floor. I heard some more shuffling around and then the bed dipped slightly as Dan lay in it. I turned to face him and he smiled.

"You were great tonight" Dan smiled.

"Thanks, so were you" I giggled. My cheeks had turned bright red. Thank god it was dark so he couldn't really tell.

"Thanks" Dan laughed.

"Night Lil" he smiled leaning over and kissing my head.

"Night Dan" I smiled and closed my eyes.

I quickly fell asleep to the sound of Dan's light breathing.


******************************


My eyes shot open and I looked around. It was still dark, I leant on my arm to look over Dan at the clock. The big red numbers told me that it was 2am. I sighed and lay back down. I realised how close I was to Dan when he let out a deep breath and I felt it on my nose. He looked so peaceful as his long hair fell over his face. I realised that I still had my glasses on so I pulled them off and put them on the small table at the side of the bed. I turned back to Dan and looked at his calm face. He began to stir and I panicked. Had I woken him? I shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep. Dan sighed, putting his arms around me and pulling my closer to him. Did he always do this? Was he still asleep? I asked my self. I slowly opened one eye to see that Dan was still asleep. I buried my head into his chest, closed my eyes and fell asleep again.


******************************


I slowly opened my eyes and a little bit of light flooded in. I recognised the place but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. It defiantly wasn't my room. I reached out for my glasses and put them on. I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me and pull me closer to their body. I looked and saw Dan, eyes closed, hair flopping over his face. I smiled and snuggled into his warm chest. I closed my eyes and melted into Dan's arms. I jumped back when the door flung open and Dan sat up quickly.

"Kyle! What the hell!" Dan shouted throwing a pillow towards Kyle. It missed him and knocked a pair of socks off the top of his drawers.

"Missed me!" Kyle stuck his tongue out. "Your aim is getting worse Smith" Kyle laughed.

Dan got out of bed and pushed Kyle out.

"I'm tired!" Dan moaned closing the door.

He pouted and got back into bed putting the pillow over his head. I giggled and walked over to the door, letting Kyle back in.

"Lily!" Dan moaned as Kyle pulled the pillow off Dan's head.

"Sorry" I laughed.

"Come on guys! It's 7!!!" Woody laughed walking in.

"Urgh fine" Dan said, frustrated.

He got out of bed and pushed us all out. He walked over to the bathroom and locked the door. A moment later we heard the shower start running. I walked over to the kitchen and made myself a bowl of coco pops, I offered the guys some but they said that they'd already eaten. They must have gotten up really early because they were all fully dressed and they had eaten. I devoured my cereal and slumped on the sofa next to Will. Moments later, Dan came out of the bathroom in his towel. I blushed and looked down. My head flicked up to see Dan standing about half a metre away from me, shaking his head, cold water flicking everywhere. I squealed and pulled my knees up to my chin and protected my face with my hands. When the water stopped flying at me I put my knees down and lowered my hands. I saw Kyle with a devilish grin on his face, looking at Dan. Before I knew it he was running at Dan. He quickly whipped the towel from around Dan's waist. Dan gasped and burst out laughing. He was wearing shorts under the towel.

"HA! I knew you would do that! I was prepared Simmons!" Dan laughed in Kyle's face.

Kyle sulked and sat back down on the sofa next to me. I patted his shoulder and stood up. I headed to the bathroom and locked the door. I quickly showered and dried myself. I slipped my pyjamas back on and walked out with the towel wrapped around my hair. I sat next to Dan, who was still in just shorts, and pulled my towel off my head. I shook my head, my wet hair flicking water all over Dan.

"Payback is a bitch hu Dan?" I laughed.

He glared at me and held a bunch of my hair in his hands. At first I thought he was going to pull it but he just wiped it across my face. I tried to move his hand but it was impossible. He continued to squeeze my hair and water trickled down into my face and down my neck. I frowned and ran into my room. I tired to hide my laugh. I shut the door and quickly got changed as Dan knocked on my door, calling my name. I put on my white wolf T-shirt and my black jeans. I opened the door and laughed at Dan's sad expression. His face lit up with a smile when he saw that I was kidding and not actually in a mood with him.

"Okay, come on, lets get packing" Dan said pushing me back into my room.

"Okay, okay, geez" I laughed as I pulled out my small suitcase.

"Suitcase?" Dan asked raising an eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah..." I said hesitantly.

"How much are you bringing?" He laughed.

"Uh, enough for a tour" I said in a 'duu' tone.

"Oh.. Okay..." Dan said with a smile playing on his lips.

"Well, how much are you taking?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I'm kidding, you're going to need a few outfits that you won't be wearing onstage as well" Dan stated opening my wardrobe.

"Okay" I smiled. I was expecting him to walk out but he didn't. "What are you doing?" I asked as he was inspecting my Bad Blood T-shirt.

"Just looking" he smirked.

"Mmhmm" I said nodding my head in understanding. Even though I literally had no idea what he was doing.

"I think we should get some of these for the guys and we can wear them to one of the shows" Dan laughed.

"That would be weird" I said taking my T-shirt off him and putting it back in the wardrobe.

"You're right" he laughed pulling a pair of black jeans out of the wardrobe.

He folded them and handed them to me. "Thanks" I smiled as I put them in the small suitcase.

We packed four pairs of jeans, two black and two blue, eight t-shirts, I thought that was totally insane but Dan said that were doing eight shows and I can't wear the same thing twice. We also packed my grey hoodie, my black hoodie and my denim jacket. Most of my clothes were very similar to Dan's, as he was my inspiration. I never liked dresses, fancy coats or high heels, I loved jeans, hoodies and converse. We packed my black converse and my white ones and I was going to wear my blue ones today. Once we'd finished packing my things Dan dragged me over to his room whilst Will, Kyle and Woody watched TV. As we walked past I noticed that Kyle was asleep on Will's shoulder. I chuckled as Dan dragged me into his room.

"Suitcase?" I said doing my bet impression of Dan, as he pulled out a massive suitcase.

"Ha ha very funny" Dan laughed throwing a pair of socks at my face.

"Ah!" I squealed and threw them back. They hit him in the side of his head. "Good shot" I said patting myself on the shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Dan laughed.

"What am I doing in here?" I raised my eyebrows with a small smile on my face. "And that suitcase is massive"

"You need to help me pack, and I'm bigger than you so I need a bigger suitcase" Dan smiled opening his wardrobe and pulling out four pairs of black jeans.

"You have a lot of black" I said looking inside Dan's wardrobe.

"So?" He chuckled pulling out two black T-shirts with patterns on.

I only caught a glimpse of one before he folded them and put them in his suitcase, it looked like a weird sketch of a heart.

"Are you going to help or just stand there?" Dan laughed.

"Oh, fine, sure, uh, I'll go get your many beauty products" I laughed walking into the bathroom.

I walked back in to Dan's room carrying a large variety of hair gels and products.

"Oh my god, you have more beauty products than me" I laughed. "Oh, speaking of which..." I trailed off, putting the mass of hair gel on the bed next to the suitcase.

I walked back into my room and picked up my hairdryer, straighteners and curling wand. I carried them back into Dan's room, smiling at the guys as I walked past, and dumped them into Dan's suitcase.

"What are you doing?" He asked looking me in the eye.

"My suitcase is full and yours is empty" I smirked.

"That's because I've not put anything in it yet" Dan stated, moving my hair stylers out of the suitcase.

"Wow, wow, wow, what are you doing? I need those!" I said putting them back in.

"Hmm" Dan said taking them back out. "Let me finish packing my things and then we'll see"

"Uh, no, I need those" I said putting them back in.

"I need clothes" Dan said taking them out again.

"Oh my god Dan what are you doing?" I said reaching over to put them back in.

Dan caught my hands before I had the chance to. He held my hands in his iron grip. I tried to free them but he was stronger than me and his hands were bigger, so mine were trapped. He put my hands behind my back and leaned forward. As he was holding onto my wrists, his arms were around me.

"Surrender" he whispered. He was so close to me that I could feel his breath on my cheeks.

I leaned closer so we were literally millimetres away from each other. "Never" I whispered pulling back with am my strength.

I managed to escape, as I had distracted him. I put the hairdryer, straighteners and curlers back into the suitcase. Dan reached over me to take them out but I stood in the way.

"Ah-ah-ah" I said raising my eyebrow and moving my finger side to side in a 'no way' gesture.

"Fine! You can take your hair... Things" he groaned.

"Thank you" I smiled and stepped aside and Dan laughed.

We filled his suitcase and a small bag with our toothbrushes and things in. We walked back out and I slumped on the sofa between Will and Woody. The time in the TV said 8:09am.

"What time is it?" Dan called from the kitchen. He poured himself a bowl of coco pops.

"Ten past eight" Will shouted.

"Better get going soon, someone wake Kyle" Dan laughed.

"With pleasure" Woody said. "Kyle," he said in a high pitched voice. Dan pulled out his phone and pointed the camera a Kyle. "Kyle it's your mother, you need to wake up sweetie, you need to go to school"

"No, I don't want to go to school" Kyle moaned, clearly still asleep.

"Kyle, you're going to be late for school" Woody whispered in Kyle's ear.

"No! I don't want to go to school!" Kyle shouted punching Woody in the shoulder.

Will stood up and poured a glass of cold water. He walked back over and handed it to Woody.

"Kyle!" Woody shouted in his normal voice.

Kyle jumped and Woody threw the cup of water on Kyle.

"Woody!!" Kyle yelled looking at his soaking shirt.

"Dan said to wake you up" he laughed.

"Dan?" Kyle said in a soft, childlike voice.

"Kyle?" Dan imitated Kyle's voice.

"You guys are massive pains in my arse!" Kyle said standing up and walking into Dan's room.

Dan put his phone back in his pocket laughing. I'm guessing he filmed the whole thing.

He walked out a few minutes later in a new T-shirt.

"Sorry Kyle" Woody apologised.

"It's alright, I forgive you" Kyle said patting him on the head. Sometimes he could be so weird.


******************************


We were driving to Bristol in the same van we were in last night. We were all squished into the front. I was in between Dan, who was driving, and Will, with Kyle next to him and Woody at the window. Will turned on the radio and a Miley Cyrus song came on. It was called 'we can't stop' and the guys knew it pretty well, seeing as they covered it. We all started singing and a loud ringing of a phone interrupted us. I looked at the caller ID and it was Josie.

"Shhhhh!!" I shouted as I pressed the green button. "Hey Josie" I said into the phone.

"HI JOSIE!!" All the guys screamed.

"Guys!" I hissed.

Josie laughed. "Hey, to you, and hey to BASTILLE!!! I still can't get over how Dan adopted you." Josie said with an excited tone but it had a hint of jealousy in it.

I laughed. "Me neither"

"So, what you up to?" She asked. "Sorry about the call, are you busy? I was just bored because no one in this hell hole speaks to me anymore"

"Oh, no problem, we're just singing in the car" I laughed and they all started singing along with the radio.

"Oh my god I'm so jealous!" Jose laughed.

"Guys! Shhh!" I laughed.

They all went quiet and I blushed as everyone was listening to mine and Jo's conversation.

"So, where are you going?" She asked curiously.

"Bristol" I laughed.

"Bristol? Why? That's ages away!" She laughed.

"I know, we-they're performing" I said. Dan raised his eyebrows when I almost said that we were performing.

"Oohh so you get to go in tour with them too?! That's so amazing!! I mean, we tried and tried to get tickets and never did because they were all too expensive, and now, you get to go for free! OMG that's so amazing" Josie said quickly.

"Yeah it is!" I laughed. I suddenly remembered that it was November 6th, Josie's birthday. "Oh my god! I totally forgot! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I yelled. Everyone looked at me with large smiles on their faces.

"Put it on speaker" Dan whispered.

I nodded and put the phone on speaker.

"Oh, thank-" Josie started but was cut off by a chorus of happy birthday.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JOSIE,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" We all sang/shouted down the phone.

"Oh my god! Thank you so much!!" Josie screamed and we all laughed.

I switched the phone off speaker and put it back to my ear.

"Oh, shit, I gotta go Lil, I might have screamed to loud, miss D is coming, shit, bye, have funnn!!" She said before the phone went dead. Poor Josie.

I put my phone back in my pocket and turned up the radio.

"So..." Dan said turning to me and then looking back at the road.

"So what?" I asked.

"So what did she say?" Dan laughed.

"Oh, nothing, she was bored and no one was talking to her, but she had to go because miss Dic-" Dan raised his eyebrows. "Duncan, was coming and she would have got into some serious shi-zzle if she had got caught" I said. Dan didn't like me swearing, but it was a habit.

"Seems like a nice place..." Dan laughed.

"It wasn't" I said looking out of the window.

"Sorry" Dan whispered taking one hand off the wheel and holding mine.

I looked at our hands and smiled. Dan drew circles on my hand with his thumb for most of the way.

"We're hereee!!" Woody shouted opening the door before Dan even had a chance to stop.

I laughed as Dan parked and got out. I climbed out and began to help unpack the stuff. Some large security guards helped us carry the heavy things into the venue. It took us about half an hour to finish the sound checks so we went for a walk around Bristol. We stopped in subway for some lunch.

"Dan!" I gasped as I spotted white chocolate chip cookies.

"What?" He asked taking a bite out of his sub.

"White choc chip cookies" I said, my eyes flicked between his eyes and the cookies.

"Here" he handed me £5.

"Thanks!" I smiled standing up. "Do you guys want something?" I asked the guys.

"No thanks" was the reply from Kyle, Woody and Will.

"I'll have a cookie, please" Dan smiled.

"Okay" I smiled walking to the counter.

I ordered four cookies, two for me, two for Dan. The woman behind the till went into the back to get some more cookies as there was only one left. I stood and waited for the woman. I turned around to see that Dan was staring at me. He smiled when his eyes met mine. I returned it and stuck my tongue out. He stood his tongue out and winked. I bet we looked really strange to anyone who wasn't us. I didn't mind though so I stuck my tongue out and went cross eyed. When I refocused I saw Dan laughing at me. I smiled and the woman returned with our cookies. I turned around and she handed me the cookies.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but notice that you were pulling faces at those guys over there, do you know them?" She asked. By the tone in her voice, she knew they were bastille.

"Uh, yeah, Dan is-uh, Dan is my adopted dad" I admitted.

"Oh my god, Dan Smith is your dad?" She said shocked.

"Um, yeah" I smiled and turned back to Dan.

He smiled at me and I motioned with my hand for him to come over here. He nodded and stood up.

"Oh my god, he's coming this way" the woman muttered.

"Hey Lil" Dan said kissing my head. "What is it?" His eyes flickered to the woman staring goggle eyed at him.

"Hi, I'm Dan" Dan smiled and held his hand out.

"Mary" she smiled and shakily took his hand. "Oh my god I can't believe it's really you" she said quickly.

Dan laughed nervously and smiled.

"Sorry, I must be totally creeping you out, I-I'm just a big Dan of Bastille" she smiled.

"Oh," Dan smiled and turned to the guys. "Kyle!" He shouted. Kyle's head flicked to the side and he looked at Dan. Kyle had a mouthful of his sub and I laughed. "Come here, with Woody and Will" Dan said.

Kyle held his thumbs up and spoke to the other guys. They stood up and walked over.

"Yeah?" Kyle said, his mouth was still full.

"Mary, this is Kyle, Will and Woody" Dan smiled.

Kyle quickly swallowed his mouthful and smiled. "Hi" he shook her hand.

The others did the same and she stood there, completely starstruck. We talked for a few minutes and I ended up eating three cookies. Dan ate the last one and we left to have a wander. We found a little park with some benches so we sat down and watched the world go by.

"Hey, Lil," Dan said tapping my shoulder.

Dan was sat on the bench with Woody and Will, and I leant on Dan's legs and Kyle leant half on Will's legs and half of Woody's. I turned around.

"Yeah?" I smiled.

"How are you doing?" Dan asked.

I sighed and moved onto the bench. I rested my head on Dan's shoulder and he out his arm around me.

"I'm nervous" I laughed.

"I didn't mean that, I meant like, how are you doing, living with me, with the guys?" Dan said.

I looked up into his magnificently blue eyes.

"What? I-I love living with you. You're like my family now, all of you" I said looking around. They all smiled at me and I put my head back on Dan's shins.

"You're like family too" Dan stroked my hair gently and I smiled.


******************************


We sat and talked for about an hour. The sun began to set, leaving the sky with flashes of orange and pink. It was beautiful. We headed back to the venue about half an hour before the doors opened. We waited whilst the audience piled in. Swiss Lips opened for us. Once they were done and Chloe Howl went on my hands started to get sweaty and my heart rate increased. I walked over to Dan and slipped my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around me and held me to him tightly. I buried my head into his chest as I heard Chloe come off. Dan shushed me and stroked my hair to calm me down. I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes.

"Dan, I'm scared" I admitted in a shaky voice.

"Oh, Lil, don't be, you're amazing, they'll love you" Dan kissed my forehead and I buried myself into his strong arms again.
