Fine Line Between Love and Hate | Dan x Reader High School

Hello.

Maroon 5 is good.

Listening to them rn.

So my friend has roped me into embarrassing myself in front of my English class by endorsing a product called Melon Fellons for a project. I have to pretend it's a commercial and say 'Melon Fellons!! Get them today!!' V enthusiastically and I'm not okay.

*sigh*

Enjoy~

(Y/n)'s POV

"She's super fragile so don't crush her in a hug Phil." I heard Dan say and I opened my eyes from my nap. I glanced up and the door opened, Zoe and Phil huddled behind Dan. Zoe's eyes widened as she walked in and Phil approached me cautiously. I peered at him and smirked.

"Hey idiot give me a hug." I said, holding my arms up. I was feeling much better except for my back of course. He smiled and wrapped me in a hug.

"Hey bestie. Heard you got shot."

"No shit Sherlock."

"No way I compare to Benedict Cumberbatch."

"He is hell handsome." I admired and Phil rolled his eyes.

"Nice to see you." Zoe said.

"You can hug me too." I said, chuckling. "I'm not going to die I promise."

"Don't joke like that." She said and I smiled as she hugged me. Phil leaned up against my bed and I felt a tug in my arm.

"Hey Phil? Can you not pull my IV out with ur ass?" I asked, he seemed confused before he scrambled away from the bed.

"Omg I'm so sorry." He apologized, his bright blue eyes tired and worried.

"That's okay." I said. I hadn't really thought to be cautious around them. I had left Phil and Zoe and everyone hanging with the fear of my injury hanging lowly around their heads. No wonder they seemed so tired. I glanced around at the 3 people surrounding me, a little overwhelmed and guilty. They all looked exhausted and sad, causing me to shrink under their gazes.

"I just can't--" Phil hugged me again and I felt safe within his arms. This was why I kept him around as a best friend. But I'm always wondering why he had kept me around.

"I'm okay Phil." I said. He nodded, but refused to let go.

"Uh Phil that's my IV again." I joked. He laughed and let go.

"Sorry (y/n)."

"No problem."

~Time Skip~

Phil and Zoe had left so they could get to bed, but had stayed to watch Brendon's interview instead of me.

"She's a brace young woman and wanted nothing from me in return for something terrible happening at my concert. She's an amazing young girl that something so terrible happened to. " I replayed in my head, smiling. I glanced at Dan who was leaned back in his chair, eyes peeled and sleep deprived.

"Dan?" His face snapped to look at mine and he cocked his head lazily. "Why don't you go home? You need to sleep in a real bed." I said.

"No, I couldn't sleep if I tried." He said.

"Why?"

"I just...I brought you to that concert."

"Dan stop it." I said. "If it wasn't me it'd be someone else. This wasn't even remotely your fault. Now please go home and relax for me." I said. He still seems reluctant to leave but after a glare I convinced him.
