Missed Opportunities // Dan Howell x Reader

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Zoe's POV:
-
I woke up early. For more than one reason. First things first, Y/N was going to her brothers flat. Meaning two things,

a) she could have possibly slept in late
b) she was gonna have a breakdown about Dan

I'm like a sister to Y/N and vice versa. She needs me in times of a panic attack just like I need her. When I woke her up I was gonna tell her what to wear, that it was all gonna be okay, and drive her there so she didn't get lost in thought and crash.

Her whole life was basically in my hands, am I wrong?!

So I walk into her room and.... dear God help us

Y/N's POV:

I set my alarm. It was like me to sleep in. BUT SLEEP IN?! How was that even possible at this point in time. I usually gave myself one hour to get ready.

I gave myself an hour and a half more.

The first half hour to tell myself I'm not going.
The other hour to have my breakdown.

I woke up and turned off my alarm and layed back down only to sit right back up and panic. Holy crap. This was happening. Today.

I've watched Dan's videos before. He's part of what inspired me to be a YouTuber. And yes, seeing him should be simple because it's Phil's best friend. But it's really not. Me and Phil hadn't been meeting up like this since recently. And Dan was never there. We'd always meet up at a Starbucks or something. Alone. The only times me and Dan would speak were small talks at conventions or parties.

He was so nice and we had a lot in common. I really liked Dan. I mean... I REALLY liked him.

I mean... like like him.

This was so bad....

Zoe's POV:

She was freaking out . Awake. And freaking out. I should've known she was up by now. This was really important to her.

"Honey, what's wrong" I comforted her. Ready to hear everything she had to say as she paced around her room.

"You already know" I did. She liked Dan. Joe and I were the only ones who knew. I knew because she told me and well... Joe was being nosy.

It's not like her best friends couldn't /really/tell already anyways.

"I really like him. I'm gonna embarrass myself. I've known him for sometime now. And I know he knows who I am. But what if he doesn't know anything ABOUT me? What if he doesn't care at all and I'm just setting myself up for heartbreak." she over-thought out loud

"Oh, Y/N. You'll be fine I promise. There's no way a truly great guy like Dan could miss an opportunity to be with such an amazing person." I hugged her through all her sniffles

"And trust me, if he doesn't. He was never great in the first place... but I really doubt that. I think your bound to be together."

"... maybe. I don't know. That sounds kinda mushy for real life Zo." she said

"It's not! And you won't embarrass yourself. Or at least too much cuz lets be real you're still as clumsy as your brother" This time I got a giggle out of her.

"But that's what we love about you. And I think Dan will think so too" I said truthfully.

Y/N felt better at this point and I waited in her room while she took her shower. She got dressed (to impress lol) in mostly black as per usual.

Next came hair-

"Are you sure you wanna do this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Y/N, your natural hair is beautiful you know that right?"

"No. Everybody says that. It's big and a curly mess. Just straighten it"

"*sigh* You really belong together" I whisper to myself

"What?"

"Nothing"

~time skip bc you didn't really do anything special for makeup~

"How do I look?"

"Like a beautiful... depressing princess" I joked

"Why thank you." She said picking up her bag

Before we left I saw Y/N slip on her silver bracelet she always wore and we headed out the door.
