Family

Dans POV-

I kept walking down the street, ignoring Y/N's phone calls and texts. I was in such a crap mood, not only was I angry I was also tried and hungry. I should probably get something to eat from a cafe or something, that would be better than walking around aimlessly for half an hour.

I dropped into the nearest cafe that was open this late, ordered a massive slice of chocolate cake and stared glumly at my feet "you ok lovely? People who come in this late usually have something on their mind" the lady at the counter asked, she had a choppy, brown bob and bluish silver eyes. "I'm fine, just had a rough night is all" I didn't want to burden her with my emotional baggage, she looked tired enough as she is.

"How about I make you a cup of tea on the house?" I could really go for a nice hot cup of tea right now "thank you.." I squinted my eyes at her name tag "holly". She smiled at me and then walked into the kitchen to make some tea. I'm glad to see that there are some people who care about upset random strangers so much.

"Right, do you want to tell me whats wrong then?" She placed the tea and my cake on a little table for two and gestured for me to sit down with her. "Ok then" I explained the whole situation in a way that wouldn't be too confusing, she seemed to understand me though. "Well if I were you I'd have a sit down, have a little relaxation session and then address the situation when you're not as stressed out".

That seemed like good advice, I have been really stressed in the last couple of months and haven't had a single hour to myself to relax. "And just remember, that girl Y/N does love you but she just had a little slip up, we all do, it's part of being human" holly had given me an entirely new perspective on the situation, we can't all be perfect.

Suddenly a text notification came from my phone and I figured that it was probably Y/N. "what should I do if it's her?" She's probably so worried and angry, probably mostly angry. "Just apologise for storming off and tell her when you'll be back" I took a deep breath and started to type, praying to god that I don't mess up.

From Y/N
Dan where are u?? I'm rlly worried

From Y/N
Please just let me know ur safe!

To Y/N
I'm fine, I'm sorry I stormed off earlier

To Y/N
I was tired and irrational, I promise I'll be back in 1 hour

From Y/N
Thank god ur ok, come back safe

Wow. Holly's advice actually worked, im impressed "see? You can thank me later" she grinned, took a lengthy sip from her tea and got up from her chair. "I have to go now, my girlfriend will be waiting for me at home" she playfully started to spin the keys to the cafe around on her finger "here, you can lock up" she threw them onto the table in front of me carelessly and I was kind of shocked, who just gives a random person that they met 1 hour ago the keys to the cafe they work at?

"What should I do with the keys afterwards?" As she unhooked her handbag from the coat hanger by the front door she turned her head to look at me "just leave them under the pot plant to the left outside" I can't believe she trusted me so much. Before she left I had to know why she trusted me so much "why do you trust me so much?" She had one foot out the door before she gave me a smirk "because I watch you everyday" then she left.

That would've sounded really creepy if I wasn't a youtuber. I can't believe she kept that under wraps so well, if I was her and I met a youtuber I have been watching for ages enter my work place I'd freak out. I have to admit, I'm kinda impressed.

Holly's POV-

That.

Was.

Badass.

I kept thinking about how well I handled that, I felt like I was in an anime and I was that cool and mysterious character that always says the perfect things at the perfect time. I couldn't wait to tell my girlfriend when I got home.

Only one week of school left, I we can do this.
