2nd day of school and I already want to quit and live on the streets.

Dan was sat there, staring into space, he had his earphones in and I could hear faint sounds of Tyler Joseph spilling from them, he didn't notice me enter and sit next to him.
"AND NOW I JUST SIT IN SILENCE" I screamed along with the music, making Dan jump more than ever before
"JESES FUCKING CHRIST Y/N, YOU GAVE ME A FUCKING HEART ATTACK" he screamed holding his hand to his chest
"Sorry, I just couldn't help it" I shrugged before we both started laughing at the situation,
"Wan to listen?" Dan offered me an earphone, which I took and place in my ear,
"Thanks"
We spent a few hours sat in each others company listening to music, I was starting to get really tired but I didn't want to go home, we were covered by blankets and I rested my head on Dans shoulder and sighed,
"You okay?" He asked looking down at me
"Mentally or physically?" I looked up at him seeing worry in his eyes "I'm fine"
"I don't believe you"
"What?"
"We made this treehouse as a place to escape, you wouldn't be here if you were fine"
"Neither would you"
"I never said I was fine"
"Touché" I smiled still looking up at Dan "my parents tried to make me pick between them because one of them is moving away, instead of choosing one of them, I chose to stay in that house because they are never home so it wouldn't make a difference. Why are you here?"
"Thinking about how much I fucked up and needed to do it in a quite place but Adrian thought it would be a great time to blast his shitty music through the house, so I came here"
"How can Adrian have shitty music taste when yours is so good?"
"Who knows? Sometimes I'm ashamed of the music he listens to" we both laughed before returning to our previous silence.
I usually hated silence, but with Dan, I was always content with the silence as long as he was there, he made the silence non-violent, I hadn't realised when I fell asleep on Dans shoulder with the sound of his heartbeat being the only thing I could hear. I think I'm falling in love.
