Words are Words (Dan Smith - Bastille Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

***

I layed in bed all morning, waking up and going back to sleep until 11 o'clock. I finally brought myself to the conclusion that I had to get up, it was a weekday but I just couldn't face going in to work today. Not with all the fuss of talking to Nina and trying to act...normal. I just can't after what happened last night.

Jake stayed over, but he left early this morning to go to university. I know, it sounds so strange...I still can't believe he actually has the will power to go, I mean, well, he's Jake. He woke me up from one of my recent slumbers and gave me a quick kiss before leaving, that's all I can remember.

I rolled over in the warm sheets surrounding me and used all my strength to pull them off of me. I sighed, didn't even bother making my bed and looking out of the window. It was quite sunny today.

I looked to my left to see a note sitting on my desk next to me, I instantly recognized the writing. I picked it up and read it, moving my hair behind my ear.

'Hey Vi, couldn't wake you, I had to go out to get some food, you have none!! Be back soon.

Ash :-)'

I smiled before putting it back down on my desk and slowly walked downstairs.

I jumped when the phone rang. I wanted to answer it, but it could be Dan..I don't know why I thought so, I just couldn't help the thoughts entering my mind. Instead, I let it ring until it stopped. I sat on the bottom step on the staircase and waited for the message, grabbing my hairbrush off the side table and running it through my messed up hair. I stopped in my tracks when I heard the familiar voice, my throat went dry and I stared at the telephone, clueless of how to react.

'Violet it's me..Dan. I know you're probably really confused right now, and I don't blame you, but I...we, need to talk about last night. Please...'

There was a long pause before he spoke again, my eyes felt as if they were going to water. I swallowed, standing up and staring in to my own reflection on the mirror parallel to me.

'My address is 16 Oakwood Road SD6 5ZL. I understand if you can't make it but I think it's best...for both of us. Come any time today if you can. Anyway..uh, see you soon.'

I groaned and chucked my hairbrush back on to the table, making a few other items fall off in the process. I had no idea what to do...was I just going to never talk to him again or was I going to go, talk to him..about what exactly? I could tell this was already going to be pretty painful, and...awkward. I kissed him, well..he kissed me, and the worst part is I have a boyfriend who doesn't even know Dan exists but a made up person called Danielle does exist?

My head was in a whirlpool of dilemmas right now. I walked into the kitchen, grabbed a carton of juice out of the fridge and began drinking it, straight out of the carton until there were no drops left. I was a little hungover from last night but still sober enough to go outside.

I walked over to the dustbin and lifted up the lid, throwing the drink carton in there and shutting it. I began to walk away when I noticed the leaflet Dan gave me yesterday. I had such a good time last night, the best I've had in months. Since until the end of the night, anyway.

I stared at the picture of Dan and his band mates. Seeing him made me overthink things..I couldn't just never see him again. I couldn't.

I had to see him. Today.
