On the way there to their flat, Dan asked me if I was hungry. Of course, I was. I nodded. "What do you want to eat?" Phil asked. I opened my notes and typed

Wendy's

Dan nodded and started driving that way.

-At the flat-

"So you can either sleep in one of our rooms, or on the couch," Phil said pointing to himself, Dan, then the couch. I looked over at the couch and pointed. They both nodded, said their goodnights, and headed to bed. But for me? I headed to the bathroom with my phone. I looked in the mirror, lifted my shirt, and looked at the hideous monster that was me. I started crying. I knew I didn't really look like this. I knew what the scale said. 103 pounds. But in the mirror, I looked at least 300.  I took off my phone case and took out the blade. Staring at my fading scars, I cut. Deeper than usual. I whimpered, but quickly covered my mouth, and waited to see if anyone heard. One of them heard me because he came and knocked on the door, "Are you okay?" Dan said. I quickly flushed the toilet and rinsed off the blood, putting on a new bandage. I opened the door and gave him a small smile, heading to the couch.

-Sleeping/Having a nightmare-

It was dark.  Middle of the night. "Hello, Anna. Long time no see." a mysterious man said. "Who... who are you?" I said, shaking. He came out of the dark and I saw who it was. My Kidnapper. "Really? Don't you remember me? You ran away from me sweety. Why don't you just come back? I will find you either way. I know where you are." He said walking towards me. "No! Go away! You're not even here! Leave! Now!" I screamed. "Oh, Anna... silly girl. You're so retarded. Get over here!" The man yelled, hitting me across the face, then pinning me against the wall. 

-End of nightmare-

"No! Don't touch me!" I screamed, waking up. Phil and Dan quickly ran over to me. "What the hell happened?!" Dan asked sitting next to me. I just started balling my eyes out. "Come here," Dan said, pulling me into a hug. As I cried into his shoulder, he just stroked my hair. "Do you want to sleep in my bed tonight?" He asked, pulling away. While staring into his eyes, I nodded.

When he got up, he held out his hand. I stared. But soon put my hand into his and he helped me up. We let go and headed to his room. "Here. You can wear these, seeing as you don't have clean pajamas." He told me, handing me one of his sweaters and sweatpants.

I smiled at him and headed to the bathroom. When I entered, I avoided the mirror because of what happened last time. When I set down the clothes, I took off my own. 

When I finished getting dressed, I went back to Dan's room and saw him on his phone. "Oh. Hey." He said turning off his phone. I just stood there. Staring. "Do you want to sleep on the floor? Because you don't have to." He pulled down the comforter. I slowly got in and lied down next to him. "Th-thanks," I said very very quietly.

And we fell asleep.

-In the morning-

I woke up to see Dan's arm around me, and I was laying on his chest. I smiled. For real. I noticed that he started to wake up. So I pretended to still be asleep. He got up carefully and slowly and opened a drawer, getting a shirt I assume. Then he left the room.

*Dan's POV*

"Good morning Phil," I say as I walk into the kitchen. "Morning. Do you want some pancakes?" He asked. "Delia Smith?" I replied. "Delia Smith." He says. "Then duh." "Alright Alright. So how was your sleep? Is she alright?" Phil questioned, mixing the batter with a fork. "First, you really need to get a new whisk. Maybe one that won't break after two uses." I say pointing at the fork. "Okay, that was your fault. You're the one that threw it at me." He said laughing. "True. Anyways, my sleep was good. And she's still asleep. I woke up to find my arm around her, and her head was on my chest. I had to get out of bed slowly, so I wouldn't wake her." I replied smiling a bit.

"Dan..." Phil said "hmm? Oh. What?" I asked. "Do you... like her?" "Do I like her? Pshh. I don't even know her. We don't even know her name." I replied with a nervous laugh. "Anna." I turned around and saw her standing there. "Oh. Um, hey. Breakfast?" Phil said turning around pouring some batter into a pan. "N-no th-thank you." She said softly. "Hey..." I say, breaking the silence. "Hi." She answers.

-Anna's POV-

"Hi," I reply. "Did you have a good sleep?" Dan asks. "I guess so," I say as I head to the table. "Do you want something to drink?"

Say green tea you fatty

"D-do you have g-green tea?"  I asked. Dan nodded and started making it.

After a while, I finally got my tea and by then, Dan and Phil had their food and were sitting at the table. "Are you sure you don't want any pancakes?" Phil questioned. I just nodded and continued to drink my tea. "Okay. Well, I have to go to the shop, so if you want to go with me, you can. If not, Phil can stay with you." Dan says finishing his food. "Okay. I-I can stay here."

-time skip. #YOLO-

"Bye Phil. Bye Anna" Dan says as he leaves the flat. "So Anna is it?" Phil asks. I nod. "Do you like Dan? Like... Like Like him? Like you would date him?" Phil asks heading to the living room. "Well..." I say.
