Cliché (Dan Howell/Danisnotonfire)

Chapter 26- please don't go

Jess POV 

I was sat in a circle with all my new friends. I felt so in my element, being surrounded by the people that took every ounce of worry away from me. 

The guitar was being strummed as we sat around the large camp fire. I was sat beside my 2 best friends; Henny (Henrietta) and Sonny. Sonny was actually my boyfriend. We had bonded at our first festival together, ever since I moved here I found myself completely in my element. I moulded straight back into my 15 year old self, late nights spent around the campfire. 

I also had a new found love of surfing, which seems to be a lot easier to accomplish due to the high tempretures of Australia. 

"Hey babe, I have a song for you, I wrote it the other day" He said. kissing my cheek, 

 "Baby, baby blue eyes

stay with me by my side till the morining through the night

oh baby stand there, holding my sides

close your baby blue eyes

every moment feels right

and I may feel like a fool, but the only one dancing with you" he smiles at me as he sings the first few lines. 

"Babe I love it" I say, kissing him lovingly on the lips. 

"I'm glad" He smiles. Kissing me again, but much more passionatley.

"You two! stop being cute and pass me the smoke" She laughs as we each pass the weed around the circle.

 Erin POV 

He was dressed in tux, with a bouquet of flowers, all of my favourite kinds. 

Dan stood there. His face was pale, and was painted with the look of nervousness, as his hands twitched, grasping the flowers, turning his knuckles pure white. 

Not only was I shocked, I felt extremely betrayed by PJ. He knew how much seeing him affected me, yet he still persisted for me to meet up with him. 

"PJ why would you do this to me? You knew how much seeing him affected me" I sigh, placing my head into my hands. 

"You haven't seen him recently, Erin. He can't go a day without breaking down, crying... and the majority of the time he doesnt get up during the day, he can't deal with you not being around him." I look at PJ. His eyes full of concern for his friend. 

"Is he still at the house?" I ask.

"He hasnt left since the day he got home from... you know... the hotel" He tries to reason with me. 

I climb out of the car and walk over to Dan. Our height difference is still there, my head only just reahing underneath his chin. 

All of a sudden, my heart starts pounding, my body craved his touch, his warmth, and his love. Everything I had said about him previous to this moment was insignificant as I looked at his lost and tired face.

Out of nowhere, I hug him. Putting every ounce of self-control to one side. Dan drops the flowers and wraps his arms around me, nuzzling his nose into my hair. 

Although this was so wrong, it felt so right. Me and Dan, were always 2 people, together and could never stand being away from each other for longer than a day. And not until now, being wrapped up in the arms of the man I will always love, I realise how painful it was being without him.  

"never leave me Erin, please" He says, almost sobbing. 

"I won't" I whimper. Not until I say that do I realise how much I was crying too. "Never ever will I leave you" But was that really true?

"And never ever will I mess this up again" As soon as we pull away from eacother, I yet again find myself craving his warmth. 

I look into his chocolate brown eyes. They were genuine. And were glossed over as we stared at eachother for what felt like infinty. 

I pressed my lips to his, and around us I heard claps, emerge from the crowd of people who must have watched us, and heard a short but meaningful cconversation. I smile at Dan and hug him yet again. 

"How about that dinner now?" he asks, taking my hand in his. I nod eagerly, as we both walk into the restuarant that could potentially bring mine and Dans relationship back together, but based on the news I need to break to him, it could bring it crumbling down again. 

*

Both me and Dan sat in our little corner, talking the night away about everything we didnt get to discuss in the past... God knows how long. 

"So how has your work coming along, I heard whispers that something big is going on." Crap. The one thing I forgot to tell him. He doesn't know I'm moving to Australia, to manage one of the biggest interior designing companies in Europe. 

"Well, the whispers... are true" I smile. "We're actually opening another building over in, urm, Australia" I say, refraining from the fact that I'm going there. 

"Well, thats amazing! Congratulations-"

"I'm going to be working there" I break the news to him, like pulling off a plaster... a very painful plaster.

His face falls, and his smile dissapears as he looks at me with glassy eyes.

"W-what?" He stutters.

"I'm going to be moving to Australia, they already have a villa sorted out for me, I'm going to be managing the whole building, its a lot of work but its good pay so..." I look down at my half eaten food. 

"So your moving half way across the world, away from me?" he says. His eyes were glassy and his hands fidgeted with the napkin  beside his plate. 

"I-I got offered it last week, it was quite sudden but when the oppotunity knocks... I wanna take it" I reason.

"Please don't go" He whispers. His was cracked as small crystal tears slid down his cheeks, lading onto my hands which were enveloped in his. 

"I have to, I'm leaving tomorrow"
