Smile (Dan Howell x Reader)

Chapter 39

•Your POV• ( I've completely forgot that I️ used to do this so i'll definitely bring it back cause it was my favorite thing to do ! )

You wake up in your dark room. The sun was just starting to go up. You look around, you haven't seen it in awhile. Your bed was in the middle, black bed cover and a mix of black and gold pillows. Your tables were black but they all had one thing that was gold, as you can tell the theme was black and gold. The only thing that had color was a dog plush of a corgi that Phil had gotten for you, it had a mustard yellow sweater on. It made you smile

You got up and got ready, and by ready, I️ mean ready to just get back in bed again. You did your morning routine and went to get some cereal. You brought it back to your room and did some editing. Hours and hours went by, wow a day well spent. [bff] slept throughout most of the day, she also stayed home but you didn't really talk to her, she was still pretty upset about Julian and how they didn't work. You kept my distance, so your mouth wouldn't spill our words she didn't need to hear. You hear a buzz come from your phone

"Hello?" you say

"Hey [y/n] , you willing to head out tonight?" Said Phillip

"Hey Phil, actually I️ was just thinking about staying in tonight, 14 hour flights really get to ya"

"I️ understand, well since i'm here i'll just ask, Tomorrow me and Dan were thinking of doing a collaboration with Louise, wanna join ?"

"Would Louise be fine with it ?"

"It was actually her idea " He laughed

"Oh then absolutely! I'll be around your flat at 4? and then we could all head to her house together ?"

"Great idea! i'll see you then, enjoy your stay in night !" He hung up

Phil really brought out the happiness in you. He was a caring man. That's all he ever wanted to do. He's been through so much that he deserves the happiness he has to share. It's incredible how bright he can make a dark room.

You continue to edit your blogs to shorten some parts and save them all so you can post them one by one tomorrow. You were still hungry cause all you really had to eat with that cereal from earlier today. You got up and went to [bff] room.  You knocked as she opened the door

"Hey want anything to eat, i'm about to order some food but don't know exactly from where "

"I'm kind of in the mood for chinise, you ?"

"Works with me, i'll call, your usual right ?" You asked as she nodded

"What have you been doing all day ?"you ask

"Kind of in here, listening to sad music as I️ practice some make up tips"

"Ohhhhh, you okay from Julian ?"

"Yeah, i've just been really lonely. You have Dan to make you happy and cuddle with and I️ don't have any to really care for me like that, you know ?"

You nodded " It's been a while since Alex..."

"yeah, 2 years"

Alex was [bff] boyfriend, that eventually turned into a husband. They got married when they were 19. They fell in love at 14. They were high school lovers. To be honest with you, your best friends been through really dark shit. One night during a college party. Alex and [bff] had unprotected sex from being so drunk. She found out she had became pregnant. She told her parents and they were pretty accepting about it. They helped her through it all, this was when they suggested marriage. They got married one spring day as she was pregnant, to help raise the baby together, but it all went bad. She had lost the baby and had a miscarriage. They were both devastated but Alex was more upset. He believed it was all [bff]s fault that she lost her baby and always took it out on her. He would hit her and spit on her daily reminding her what she's done. You told [bff] to get out of the relationship but she was still in love with man, even after all he's done. One day she ran away. She stayed with you for about a week. She was too scared to go back, but she did, but with divorce papers in her hands. It took him a while to agree until he signed it. They both separated their ways and never saw each other again.

"I️m here for you, forever and always" You tell her

She looks at you and smiles "and me to you, now go order that Chinise, i'm starving.

You go to your room and order her order and yours. Once you're done you sit back down and continue to edit. Minutes passed as the Chinise was here, you thank them and give them a tip. You and [bff] both sit down on the couch together and just talk.

"Do you ever regret taking those papers to Alex ?"

"To be honest with you, yes. I️ miss him and think about him every day, but not in some sad way, most of the time just to see how much progress i've made without him" You smile at her response

"Do you ever regret breaking up with Taylor ?"

"At first I️ did, the first time but this second time no. He treated me like I️ wasn't even a thought to mind. Plus at the time I️ was really into Dan so"

"Speaking of Dan ! " you roll her eyes at her remark

"Have you talked to him since it happened?"

"Not really, we have very sight talks just to know how we're doing but that's all.Im going to have a collab with him tomorrow with Phil and Louise, want to come ?" You ask

"Actually can't, I️ have to go over to Zoellas, we're going to go shopping for some shoes ! I've needed some update in there" You laugh

The next day

You got Phil's place, you waited patiently on the couch for them to get ready and leave . You walk around and look around the place, even though that you've been here millions of times.

"Alright lets go !" Phil says with Dan right behind him

You wore white pants with a grey tank top,black cardigan over it and black boots. Phil had a red shirt shirt on, normal jeans, and his blue with red laces sneakers. Dan had on a grey sweater, black jeans, and black boots.

You looked at his sweater, it was one that you bought him that one date you had at the mall. He blushed as he looked at you.

"I'm ready" You walk out and head down to go to Louise's place

"And Dan one time, he was lifting up a couch and he dropped it on his foot and he cried like a baby right after !" yelled Phil as he laughed to tears

" I️ did not cry, it hurt really bad okay but I️ did not cry !" Dan said

You all start laughing to Phil's story. You were filming a story/confession videos. This video was filmed for your channel, which was stories

You start to end the video off as you lay down on the bed, tired from all the laughing

"So how was your trip [y/n] Tell us!" Louise said

"It was really wonderful, the sights were incredible, all the people were so kind, we met a guy named Julian who helped us out around the town we were in. I️ absolutely loved it"

"Was he good looking " She asked with a giggle

"He wasn't my type" You say as a flashback of your hands gliding down his chest appear in your mind

"That's a shame, we need to find you a man [y/n] !  Taylor's brainwashed you from love !"  She said

You gave a chuckle as you looked at Dan. He was looking at you as all the focus was on you.

"Well this is.. uh.. hey we should go out! After all the fun we had" Phil said

" where should we go" Dan asked

"We could go to this new art museum that opened up last week, i've been dying to go" Louise said

We all agreed and walked down, it was pretty close to where she lived. You walked in and saw many copies of some of the most amazing paintings on the wall. There was no ideal theme here, just the appreciation of art.
