*Warning: abuse*

(im so sorry sksk this au is so bad)

Dan
"Daniel James Howell. I TOLD YOU to be home before eight. How DARE you be here at five minutes past!" Aunt Carol spits in my face.

"I sincerely apologize. My mother wouldn't wake up and I was very worried. When she woke it was already late, I really wanted to tell her I loved her before I went home. I am so sorry," I try apologizing. Aunt Carol steps closer as if she wasn't close enough already.

"This was the final straw." she spits out. I feel my heartbeat increasing. The final straw? I haven't even done anything except for waking her up too early.

I take a step back, but it only angers her more. I see her face turning red as she takes off her right slipper. She holds it above my head threateningly.

I flinch. I was so glad Joel got kicked out of our school. I never expected the abuse to happen all over again, even if it's different.

The slipper hits my face and tears are streaming down my face within seconds. I forgot how much this hurts. Not necessarily physically, but emotionally as well.

I thought it would end after one hit, but my crying seems to make aunt Carol more angry than she already was. She throws the slipper away and hits me with her bare hand, leaving a stinging pain. She then grabs my shoulders and turns me around. Suddenly, she pushes me, causing me to lose my balance. I fall backwards.

Moon? Are you okay?

is the last thing I hear before I hit my head against something hard and everything turns black.

Phil
As I leave the doctor's room, I feel a stinging pain in my cheek.

Moon? Are you okay?

No response.

I walk back to my car and try again.

Moon?

Still nothing. What if something happened? What if he died and I don't know because I didn't even check up on him..?
I drive home rather quickly, feeling anxious.

Once I've arrived in my room I open Google on my laptop.

"How to tell if you're soulmate is dead?"

"If your soulmate dies, you won't ever be able to see colours anymore. You will only see black and white for the rest of your life."

Relieved, I close my laptop. He's alive.
