Shattered - |d.s|

X

I woke up feeling sad. I had to go to work and the headache had gotten worse. On top of that I started my period and it was raining heavily. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. The rain makes me feel as if I'm still alive; I'm surviving, not living. But, I hate heavy rain. Going outside it's just the worst. However, the bright side is that less people go to Starbucks as no one really wants to be drenched in the rain.

I put on the uniform and tied my hair into a ponytail. I couldn't be asked to wear any makeup. I took some paracetamol to help with the cramps. I feel like crap, I look like crap. Katie is still sleeping but when she eventually wakes up she's knows where I am. Also today I have another appointment with my therapist.

Today wasn't going to be a good day.

"Woody, why are you up?" I ask, I came downstairs and found him siting on the sofa.

"Talking to Chrissy." He mouthed, talking on the phone. I grin at him and mouth 'sorry'.

As usual, I get busy at work, serving other people. But nearly no one is here so it leaves me time to think. My mind wanders to yesterday. Why was Dan sad all of sudden?

Should I ask him? No, he'll think your creepy. But I want to know, I tell my mind. Shut up stupid. I frown.

"Earth to Ellie." Kyle waves his hands in front of my face.

"Kyle, what do you want?" I ask, clearly still in my thoughts.

"Jeez, that's no way to greet your lovely brother." He says, smiling as wide as he can.

"I would show my middle finger at you, but I'll probably be fired." I say annoyed. He starts laughing and rests his hand near his forehead but with his middle fingering sticking out, clearly mocking me.

"Ah, very funny, cat obsessed freak." I sarcastically say, rolling my eyes.

"Get me hot chocolate, it's freezing." He says, rubbing his hands together.

I make his drink and he starts to give money.

"No don't worry Ky, you don't need to pay." I say, he refuses and pays anyway.

"I'm going now, can you atleast hug your amazing brother, no ones here anyway." He says giving me the puppy eyes.

"Fine." I walk around the counter and hug him. The thing about Ky is that his hugs are the best thing ever. Since I was younger, whenever I got sad I would run up to him and hug him. His hugs are comforting, you literally melt. He kisses my forehead.

"Oh and I got something for you. Woody told me you didn't look happy this morning." He pulls out my favourite English chocolate, Cadburys. They have them in America but the English ones are the best.

"Omg!" I squeal. Now I have chocolate to make this shitty day less shitty. Kyle laughs, seeing me happy over chocolate and leaves.

I finish my shift and take the chocolate out of my bag and begin eating it before going to Dr Roberts, the therapist.

I walk into the building and take a deep breath. I hate this place so much. I accidentally bump into a guy called Charlie and we begin to talk as we are waiting for our appointments. I tell him everything. Like yes I've only met him but we are in the same hellhole so his story is equivalently bad. He's genuinely so sweet and we exchange numbers. He told me he's into music and I told him that I'm Kyle's sister. He immediately perks up and I found out that he loves Bastille. Guess I should introduce them.

The nurse calls me inside and I leave Charlie.

"Hey Ellie. How are you feeling?" The doctor says, looking through his files. The same boring questions every time.

"I'm good." I reply. same questions, same answers.

"Have you been taking your medication? Any side effects?" He asks monotone.

"Yes I take the medications and I get headaches." I reply, watching him scribble words on my report card.

"I'm going to prescribe some pills to help with the pain." He says, staring at me. I match his stare and nod.

"Take it with the other pills." He hands me the tub and I put it in my bag.

"How's the voices? The nightmares?"

"There getting better, the pills help with the voices." I honestly say.

"Ah that's good. Thank you for coming, seen you next week. Bye." He softly says, indicating that I should leave.

I go outside of the room and see that Charlie hasn't gone inside yet. I grin at him and he grins back. I mutter a small bye and leave the building, feeling the cold rain drops fall down my face.

I get a message from Woody saying that they have all went shopping at the local high street. I decide to go food shopping as their is no food left at home. After shopping I head home and find that everyone has returned. I get busy putting away the food. Dan comes and starts to help me.

"Dan, it's okay, you don't even know where the food even goes." I say, giggling as I watch him struggle.

"I want to help you." He runs his hand through him hair.

"Dan honestly, it's fine." I chuckle. He backs away and stares at me as I put away the groceries.

"Do you need anything Dan?" I asked amused. He flushes and turns away not facing me anymore.

"Nope I- er it's nothing." He mutters, touching the back of his neck before leaving.

I ignored it and make my way upstairs to shower and relax. After I was done Dan knocked on the door. He was holding a purple coloured gift bag and some flowers. My favourite flowers.

"Can I come in?" He awkwardly says, leaning back and forth. I nod.

"Er, these are for you, I'm sorry I was being a jerk yesterday and I saw how your face fell so I thought I would make it up to you by bring you a gift." He rambles, placing the gifts near me as well as the flowers.

"Omg Daniel, you didn't have to do this." I looked at him in shock.

Harry never used to do this. He would forget my birthday let alone bring some gift.

"No I had to Ellie, I can't bear to see you sad." He whispers, looking straight at my eye.

I look at what he gave me and I gasped. He gave me different colours of paints, and a small box was placed, with a bow ontop of it. I slowly opened it to reveal a necklace. It was a simple necklace, with a dark blue gem. It looked like the colour of his eyes.

"I love it! How did you know these were my favourite flowers?" I say, standing up and giving Dan one big hug, I had tears in my eyes.

"I asked Katie for help." He cheekily grins.

We pull apart and I stare at him. His face slowly becomes closer until it touches my forehead. He places his hand on my cheek, cupping it. I close my eyes and feel his lips on mine.

He kissed me.

A/N

Ayyyyy they finally kiss.

Sorry this was short, but the next chapter is more entertaining for sure :)
