I guess you could call it a love story. Danisnotonfire♥

chapter 17

Skyee's P.O.V.

I woke up and before I even had time to stretch ...I felt myself crying. I had been doing this a lot recently . waking up and crying...crying myself to sleep too. I never used to cry ....that was, before I met Dan. But I had a good reason to cry today. Dan was leaving for London. Me and him have been getting along really well these past few days,ever since when he told me he was leaving, we've been together non-stop , I hadn't really left his side. But, I still hadn't told him what I wanted to tell him. Maybe it's better that way. I pulled my self together and wiped away my tears. I got up and made myself presentable. Walked out the door and in to Dan's room.

"heeey" I said as I poked my head through the door, he was awake, packing his final things up, I don't know why, he wasn't leaving until 7pm tonight and it was only 11am

"morning" his voice croaked. ooooh god sexy morning voice.

"you exited about today?" I asked suddenly all chirpy...quite a change considering twenty minutes ago I was crying my eyes out....

"yeah, I am actually" he mumbled,you could tell he was lying, he sounded ....sad..

"Dan?" I walked over to him, and tried to make eye-contact, but he just stared at the floor, I lifted his head with my hand and he finally looked at me, I started to go weak at the knees , his deep chocolate ey- Skyee. no. "Dan, are you okay?" I questioned him as sympathetically as I possibly could , coming out of my trance .

"yeah, yeah, I'm fine, don't worry" he gave me a clearly obvious forced-smile. I knew he wasn't fine. Fine is the word people use to cover up when they are not indeed fine. I know. I've done it too.

I decided to let it go, I shouldn't push him, it's not like he's my boyfriend anymore ....

"okay then...um..fancy a cuppa'?"

"yeah, that'd be great actually"

Dan's P.O.V.

Skyee had gone to make tea, and I just sat on my bed staring to to space. I promised myself, today would be the day I told her. What did I have to loose?   But I couldn't . No way...I just didn't feel connected anymore...I felt like I cared too much and she didn't care at all...I'm not usually an emotional person, but this was getting to me... I could actually feel tears welling up, this really wasn't like me...but love changes you, I guess...I heard a knock at the door. fuck. I tried to wipe my eyes but it still looked as if i had been crying. I grabbed a towel and put it over my face as someone opened the door...I bet I looked casual. sat on my bed with a towel covering my face.

"um...Dan?" a familiar voice called, I could tell she was fighting a laugh.

"yeah?" I replied as if it were completely normal.

"I..um...have tea for you.." I heard her giggle

"thanks" she handed me the cup and I felt her sit on the bed next to me. A few minutes had gone by before she asked the question I had no answer for.

"Daaaan?...why do you have a towel on you're head?"

"this is my new look for london, just mixing it up a little. " smooth. "don't you like it? personally, I think it will trend." I joked

"yeah, I can see it in next weeks headlines"

"maybe next we can make some some sort of onsie out of some curtains...and pair it with crocs and socks. ..I think I'm getting carried away" I pulled the towel off my head , my bloodshot eyes had vanished and I looked about as normal as you could in this situation. Skyee ran her hands over my messy hair and patted it down so I looked less static, I can't stand it. Memories of her running hands through my hair when we used to kiss...and less innocent memories about hair pulling with her flood my mind, I missed her touch , it was such a minor detail but I missed it. I missed a lot of things we used to do. holding hands on our way to class , she had such little hands...mine were abnormally large compared to hers but it was just another little thing I loved about us. How I towered over her, me being 6,3 while she's 5,3, so she had to tiptoe to kiss me. i missed her laugh. I missed our banter. i miss the days when we'd cuddle in bed and talk all day. I miss the way she used to hug me. i missed the way she used to kiss me . I missed her, and us being together. and now I'm going away. I don't know when I'll see her again, or if I'll even see her again. The thought made my heart drop. it was finally sinking in I wont be able to see her whenever I wanted to...I mean, I'm going to be living with Shannon , so it's not like I'll never see her again...she'll visit won't she?.

"Dan?" she snapped her fingers infront of my face separating me from my thoughts.

"um, sorry what?" I smiled

"I was saying, do you want to actually finish packing? you're going in a few hours...and you still aren't done"

"yeah" I said still miles away in thought "oh yeah" I said returning to the real world .

She picked up a cardboard box and started folding my clothes and putting them in. I just sat on my bed and stared at her .

"well, Prince Howell,are you going to help me? I'm not you're maid, you know?" she laughed

"well, you're my friend isn't that kind of the same thing?"

"no" she replied bluntly handing me a box but soon started laughing.

We finished packing and it was 6.30. It took longer than expected. We took the boxes outside and rammed them in my tiny car. We walked back inside to keep from freezing to death and i walked up to the desk and handed Sue my room key...She never really talked to me, but she took a shine to Skyee.

She took the key off me and wandered off somewhere.

"well.." I said clapping my hands together turning back to Skyee "I guess this is goodbye" there was a bit of an awkward silence and to make it worse I put my hand out for an invitation fo her to shake it. well done Dan, shake you're ex-girlfriends hand as a way to tell her you're still in love with her.

She looked at my hand and raised an eyebrow before throwing her arms around my neck and giving me a huge hug. It just felt right. I put my arms around her back and pulled her tighter.

"I'll miss you, Dan" she whispered in my ear. To which I didn't reply and hugged her even tighter if that was even posible, her head was burried in the crook of my neck and and it fit perfectly, like a puzzle piece. And just like that she pulled away, she smiled at me through glassy eyes, as she lifted her hand to wipe away a tear, her sleeve fell down to her elbow, showing the bracelet I got her for her birthday,  the one with the little door on it...just as she went to wipe under her eye I replaced her hands with my own cupping her face. I bit my lip and she closed her eyes edging closer to me. It was clear what she thought I was going to kiss her, I wanted to ,oh god I wanted to . but I couldn't I was going away and this would complicate things, so just as we were millimetres away from eachothers faces I wiped my thumb under her eye and caught a falling tear. And with that she quickly stepped away from me and tried to compose herself. She looked extremely embarrassed. She smiled at me again and coughed a little still with tears in her eyes as she offered me her hand to shake.

"bye, Daniel James Howell, it was a pleasure meeting you"

"good bye Skylar Jones, the feeling is mutual" I mimicked her tone. And with that I opened the University doors and never looked back. I got into my car and still didn't turn aroumd. I couldn't.  I was crying not sobbing, I didn't sob, but my eyes were watery and I felt a few stray tears run down my face . I couldn't bare to let Skyee see me like this. Yet, as I drove away I couldn't help look in the rear view mirrors to see her waving me goodbye. And just like that I was gone. leaving the love of my life behind me.
