I Love You To The Moon (Dan Howell fanfic)

Chapter 6 - Mind Games

Dan's P.O.V

__________

Why was she acting like this? What had I done to hurt her so much? These were the main thoughts that were running through my head. Then I noticed that she was heading towards the door. I cant let her go without any answers. I grabbed Erin's arm trying to stop her from leaving.

"What are you doing?! Where are you going?! What have I done?!" I literally exploded with questions.

"I cant deal with all the drama right now, I really don't have the energy to. I know you didn't do it intentionally, but I can't control how I feel, which is why I have to get out of here" She said softly before slipping out of my grip and walking outside, where she got into a car with another girl and drove away.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPEND DAN?!" said the voice in my head, and to be honest I couldn't answer that question. I had no idea of what to do next apart from stare at the ground repeating what she had said over and over again in my head until I slumped into a chair that was placed by a free table.

What did she mean by 'I cant control how I feel?' or 'I know you didn't do it intentionally'?

What was I supposed to have done? I don't even know what I said or did to hurt her, but I know that seeing her hurt makes me feel guilty even though I don't have a clue as to why she's hurting over me! Why was she hurting over me? Was she even hurting over me at all? Am I just overthinking things? Am I just being self absorbed? Was i just freaking out over nothing or was there actually something to freak out about behind all of this? I had no idea! and with so many questions flowing through my min all at once made me a little dizzy so I was glad to be sat down.

I was dragged away from my thoughts and back to reality by Phil putting his hand on my shoulder. He was now sat on the chair behind me trying to comfort me when it wasn't me who needed comforting it was Erin. I really wanted to know what she meant by all of those things she said but I guess I wouldn't get the chance. I didn't even have her number to call or text her so I had no way of getting in contact with her to find out the truth.

Phil never said a word, I thinks its because he had no idea what to say. He had no idea how it felt to be left with so many questions unanswered and not know if you will ever find the answers.

I turned to Phil and said with sorrow in my voice "I need answers!"

By now Phil knew exactly what i meant because as soon as I had said that he stood up and headed towards the guy who worked in the coffee shop, Paul I think is his name. Seeing Phil talking to Paul made me think even more about what Phil was now doing as well as all of the drama with Erin.

Not realising I had slipped back into daydream land I was startled by Phil as I face planted reality as he handed me a folded piece of paper.

"What's this for?" I said looking quite confused. Then I unfolded it to see a phone number.

"Paul said that he could tell there was something wrong about the way she acted towards you. He thought that talking to her about it may help you, well both of you."

I could always rely on Phil to help me through my problems and he knew that I'd do the same for him. He's my best friend and I know that I can always count on him to be there for me, even when I just want to be alone, he never gives up, and I hope he knows how grateful I am of him helping me.

I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone as Phil sat back where he was before. I stood up and went outside to get a little bit more privacy.

*RING RING*

*RING RING*

*RING RING*

*RING RING*

The phone rung a few times before I heard a voice coming from the other end.

"Hello? Who is this?" Her voice still not settled properly from crying earlier on.

"It's Dan..." I was just hoping she didn't put the phone down on me.

"Oh...Hi..." the line fell silent.

"Look, Erin about what you said earlier, What did you mean by it all?"

Still the line was silent.

"Please, You're all I can think about. You and what you said." I was praying that she would give me an answer when finally...

"Meet me by the eye in half an hour and I'll explain everything." She said in a regretful tone but I thought I'd take my chances anyway.

"Okay by the eye in half an hour, got it." She hung up the phone and I headed back inside and towards where Phil was sat patiently waiting for me.

"What did she say?" Phil jumped up out of his chair with high expectations

"I'm meeting her at the London eye in half an hour, but I'm gonna go alone..." I felt bad for basically telling Phil that he couldn't come with me but he understood as he nodded his head after I had finished talking.

"Call or text me if anything goes wrong okay?" Phil told me with a reassuring look yet again.

"Yeah, okay" I said as we were making our way out of the shop.

"See you later, then" Phil said as he waved, going in the opposite direction to me

Right now to get to the London eye!
