*Kaitlin's POV (15 years old)*

"Dan! Stop it." I said

"Why? What's the point?" Dan asked

"The point is I can't live with my best friend bring a total dick to my boy best friends . Either stop it or I don't want to know you."

My wrist started to hurt where Dan had hold of it.

"If you'd listen to me just once. Just once in your life. We wouldn't be in this situation. Get off me." I said shaking my wrist free.

"We all know he's more than your boy best friend! I'm just trying to protect you. Your my best friend... I don't want to lose you..." Dan said letting go of me completely and walking away with his head down.

I sighed. Dan is usually right. I usually get with the wrong guy and I forget about Dan. I can't believe I'm doing this.

"Dan wait don't go. Please?" I shouted running to catch up to him

Once I reached him I noticed he was crying.

"Oh Dan." I said stopping him and hugging him

We stood in the middle of the street for a while until my mother came out.

"Kaitlin Danielle Smith! What do you think you are doing?" My mum shouted

I struggled to explain. I ended up pointing to myself then to Dan then pretending I was crying then hugging Dan again. I did that all while making random sounds.

"Get inside right now." She yelled angry

Wtf is her problem today? I let go of Dan and he put his head down. I lifted his head up.

"Chin up babe." I said running off

My mum grabbed the collar if my shirt and dragged me in the house. She slammed the door behind us.

"What did I tell you about Daniel Howell?" She yelled

"You told me Dan isn't good for me." I said putting emphasis on Dan.

"And?"

I shrugged

"To never get involved with him."

"Too late. He's my best friend."

"Kaitlin... Do you have somewhere to go?"

"What?" I asked astonished. Was she kicking me out?

"I want you out of the house by Friday, I'll arrange for you to live with your dad." Mum sighed walking away

No. No. No! I ran out of the house and across the road to Dan's house. I knocked on the door until someone answered. It was his mum. When she saw I was crying she took me straight in the house. She lead my into the kitchen where the Howells were having dinner. Dan looked up from messing with his food. He stood up and walked over to me ignoring his mum and dad. He hugged me as I cried. His mum looked at me sorrowfully. She knows. I know she knows. She knows I know that she knows. I buried my head on Dan's neck. I felt him flinch slightly from me making contact with his neck but he just stood trying to calm me down.

"They're perfect for each other. It's a shame about the you know what ." His mum whispered to his dad.

She knows for sure. It's official I'm moving to Lancashire to live with my dad. Great. That would mean leaving Dan. My best friend of 10 years.
