Shattered - |d.s|

T w e n t y - S e v e n

The plane roars down the runway, making the engines release this horrible sound. I cling onto Dans arm, closing my eyes. I hate taking off. He sees me uncomfortable and leans into me.

"Its okay, I'm here." He coos, stroking my hair. I rest my head onto his shoulder. He plants a small kiss on my head.

"I'm sorry. It's been ages since I've been on a plane, taking off for me is the worst part." I mumble, once the plane is in the air.

"Don't worry baby. You don't have to be sorry." He takes off his glasses putting them back in there case and rubs his eyes.

"Wear your glasses. You look so adorable." I whine, snatching the case from his and taking out his glasses.

"Really? I thought I look bad in them."

"You look beautiful no matter what your wearing." I state, putting his glasses on his face for him. He kisses my lips and then my jaw.

For the whole flight he holds my hand while I drift off to sleep.

"Wake up we're about to land." Dan softly speaks, nudging me. I groan rubbing my eyes. I slowly open them, feeling the light blind me.

"How long was I sleeping for?" I ask, my voice thick with sleep.

"About 3 hours. You were snoring really loudly as well." He chuckles, making me turn red.

"Wait what? Oh my god, why didn't you wake me up. This is so embarrassing." I frantically say, looking around at the other passengers.

"I'm joking Lee." He grins.

"Jerk" I mutter, hitting him on the chest.

"You love me." He states, putting his hand over his heart.

"Yeah right, Mr Smith." I sarcastically say, turning to the side to see the window.

"I like it when you call me Mr Smith." He whispers in my ear, causing me to shiver. I look up to him and his eyes are full of lust and desire.

"Go away creep with wild hair." I playfully hit his arm and he backs away.

"That was ages ago! Plus my hair did look wicked. You know how hard it was to cut it?" He recalls. The captain announces that the plane will land in two minutes.

"Dan you looked like you were fucking electrocuted all the time." I joke, he looks at me with sadness within across his face.

"I'm joking. You looked like a fluffy candy floss." I say, leaning over to kiss his cheek. He begins to smile, his eyes twinkling.

Everyone begins to stand up. I guess we've already landed. Dan follows along and stands up, reaching to grab my purse. I intertwine his free hand with mine. We all get off the plane and head towards the luggage claim section. After fifteen minutes our luggages come. The boys take them out of the conveyor belt and place them onto the trolleys that me and Katie found.

After passing through security we were all aloud out.

"Welcome to England Lee." Dan welcomes as soon as we step outside.

The weather seems too gloomy for march but, I've heard that English weather is shit weather. Not that I mind, I hate summer anyway.

"I'm here." A man waves and the boys follow him. Me and Katie look confused. Is he a relative or something?

"Nice to meet you, Katie and Ellie." He shakes our hand.

"I'm Dick Meredith, you'll see me quite often as I'm always chasing after these idiots." He explains, we nod at him.

"Hurry up, you don't want any attention here." He gushes us over to a black suv car. It's big enough to carry our luggage which is surprising.

After twenty minutes, we arrive to a big beautiful house. I guess they live near the London airport.

"This is where my family live. The others will go back to the share house that we have but my mum wanted to see you so badly. My sister couldn't make it, she's at uni. I think my little cousin is here too." Dan beams, obviously excited to see his mum and cousin.

They won't like you. My head voices back. I hold onto Dan's arm and kiss him. The voices don't continue. I've learnt to control them now.

Kyle helps to unload the luggages.

"I love you El, thank you for coming to England. Well visit mum and dad one day." He hugs me tightly.

"I'll see you in like 4 hours, stop being emotional." I try to lighten the mood.

"I'm trying to be a good brother here! Need some appreciation." He mutters crawling back into the suv. They drive off.

"Ready?" He asks, smiling softly at me.

"Ready." I reply taking a deep breath.

We sat outside the door and ring the doorbell. The door opens and a little girl runs and grabs Dan's leg. She has a small breathing tube attached to her nose.

"Dannnnnn." She shrieks, not letting go of his leg. Dan crouches down to her height and picks her up.

"Me miss you." She whispers, she notices me and smiles. I smile back.

"This is Ellie, and Ellie this is Violet." He introduces us. She has short blonde hair, a side effect from her disease; she has sparkling emerald green eyes.

"Hello Ellie?" She says, repeating my name a couple of times to get it right.

"Hi Violet, how are you dear?" She beams at me, showing her tooth gap.

"Oh my god, are you Ellie? Your gorgeous hunny. Welcome to London." Ms Smith, hugs me, kissing my cheek.

"Thank you Ms Smith." I reply, as she hold me more tightly.

"Oh hush, call me Linda." She replies, letting go.

"Dan, my dear. I'm so glad your back. Do come inside." She hugs him and motions for us to come inside.

Dan places Violet down and she runs inside. She has a backpack on her back, the oxygen tank inside.

We sit on the sofas and talk for ages. Linda tells me everything. It feels like my mother is here with me again. Linda and Dan start talking leaving me to glance around the house. Violet comes and sits on my lap.

"I like you." She says, examining the necklace Dan gave.

"I like you too dear." I reply.

"Are you sure because no one likes me?" She looks up at me, her eyes big and sad. She mispronounces some words but I can still understand them.

"Dear, I'm speaking the true. Everyone likes you, your beautiful and amazing." I state, kissing her forehead. She looks down and nods. She gets up from my lap and goes to Dan.

I feel sad for her. A beautiful bundle of joy has to deal with so much at such a young age.

A/N
