"I don't know what to do", Dan says while we skype later that day.
"Do a lot of people know?"
"Everyone does, babe. It's all over Twitter and Instagram, someone took a picture of us kissing."
"I'm so sorry, I should have been more careful.", I sigh.
"It's not your fault, it's not the norm that someone would take a picture of my girlfriend and I kissing."
"So... who's that" girlfriend" of yours?", I laugh.
"This girl...", Dan points directly at the camera "...right here."

***

Even though Dan told me not to go on social media, to avoid hate, I did anyway.
I should've probably listened to him since all I see are hateful comments.
I just don't understand why anyone would be hateful towards us, all we do is love each other and, last time I checked, that isn't a bad thing.
Dan doesn't care about what they have to say about him, he just doesn't want Phil or I to get hurt.

A new notification pops up on my phone, a message from Zoe:

Zoe: I can't believe you've done this, call me right now.

DAN'S P.O.V:

I love this girl so much. But that's exactly what I was afraid of.
We are together for a day, and the whole Internet already knows.
Normally, I would've maybe told everyone in a couple of months. Or not at all.
Now I feel the need to explain myself, which I don't want to do, but I obviously have to, I can't not mention it at all.

So all I did was tweet this:
"http://www.dictionary.com/browse/privacy"

Yes, I just tweeted everyone the definition of privacy because it looks like some people aren't too familiar with it.

"Dan?", Phil says and knocks on my door.
"Yes, come in."
Following was an angel bean Phil, with some hot chocolate that he puts down in front of me.
"Thank you, what's that for?"
"Um, just, everyone's being a bit rude right now, so I thought that would cheer you up a little."
"Aw, thanks you're adorable.", I say and sip on the drink.
"Um- and also, are you and Y/N together?"
I show him my recent Tweet and laugh: "Just kidding, yes we are."
"Just checking in.", he says and grins: "I'm so happy for you, she's a great girl."

YOUR P.O.V:

"Hello?" I say after Zoe picks up her phone.
"Y/N! I'm so mad at you!"
"What? Why?"
"You didn't tell me you're dating Dan! I had to find out through Twitter?"
"Oh my gosh, you scared me then. We've been together for a day and this stupid picture is everywhere already!"
"I feel bad for you and I hope I could help you, you guys will get trough it." she says and pauses before continuing: "now, tell me all the details!"
