Chapter 52

Y/N's POV

I woke up with my head pounding and and the warmth of another person next to me. I turned over to see Maddie who was surprisingly awake, probably just scrolling through Instagram or something.

Over in the next bed are Thomas and Dodie...
That's when the events of last night start to come into place. Luckily I wasn't too bad since I sobered up a bit before bed.

I've had worse hangovers.

"What ya doin?" I rolled over, asking Maddie in a groggy morning voice

"Hmm? Oh. Nothing." Which you would think sounds suspicious but Maddie wasn't big on details anyways so I didn't bother her about it.

I decided to take the liberty of calmly and quietly waking the other two up....

By blasting the Dear Evan Hansen album through my speaker.

They weren't the happiest seeing as Dodie also had a hangover and Thomas was awfully tired. But it was me. What did they expect?

Dodie and I took it slow that morning and filled up on fluids and breakfast downstairs. I still wasn't big in eating but I had a bagel... and it was damn good.

When we went to go put our dishes back near the rest of people in line I could see Dan next to Phil along the buffet.

"Hey!" he called for me and I walked over with a sad smile

"So... what did you get up to last night?"

"Not a lot. Had a sleepover with Thomas and Dodie." I responded with little excitement in my voice. Of course it would be fun to drink and hang out with my friends. But no- it's not fun when the reason your drinking is out of sadness and lack of self-confidence and the reason your friends are there is too make sure you don't die of starvation

"Are you okay?" He asked. Knowing the answer but still wanting to talk about it

"I don't know, Dan. Are you?" And as soon as I could ask, Cat walked right up to him.

"Sorry, y/n! But there's a line." She said with a smirk, and when I looked at her with confusion she simply stated "Dan was saving my spot." She smiled and turned away.

It's not like I was in line anyways. I just wanted to put my dishes down. So I could have just walked away...
But I just got so fed up with her bullshit.

"What a bitch" I sighed

"What was that?" she said spinning around

"WHAT A BITCH!" I yelled out of anger. I didn't know if Dan just couldn't see it, or if he was trying not to make a scene- but this was clearly something I had to address myself, now.

"Dan are you gonna just let her do that? How embarrassing." Cat said and acted out a fake gasp. Why would she say that unless...

did she know we were dating?

Woah... THAT MAKES HER EVEN MORE OF A BITCH

"She can do whatever she wants. I don't control her." Dan confirmed. Was he sticking up for me? Little late but I'll take it

Then Cat decided to play some more pretend. And dismiss our relationship. "No wonder you guys are just friends... I don't know who would ever want that."

Okay.
That stung.

She put her hand up to cup his face and I thought that would for sure be the end...

She was right. She was better than me. Her hair... her body. I suddenly felt guilty. Maybe I was holding Dan back. He deserved someone as good looking as him. I was just some downgrade he was stuck with.

So many thoughts were running through my mind until I looked up and saw that Dan had grabbed her wrist tightly before it ever touched his face.

"Just friends my ass. I love her. And you don't have to know why I do, You just have to get THE HELL away from ME." Dan said (A/N: yelling the parts in bold) and walked away holding my hand.

Dan walked me outside and we both sat on a bench outside the hotel doors to talk.

But we just sat there. Speechless. Thinking about what just happened.

Until I got a notification

Catrific Tweeted:
Hope the two love birds have fu...

When I clicked to see the entire tweet I couldn't even believe it was real life
