Heartbroken ❥ Dan Howell x Reader

Chapter Nine

Yesterday this hit 100 reads. Today it hit 200. I don't know why anyone is reading my book in this dark corner of wattpad, but thank you for doing so ♥️

Btw, instead of (Y/Channel/N) I'm going to start writing (Y/YT/N) because it's easier :p

Here you go~

Sitting under the covers of your hotel bed, laptop in hand - well, actually lap - you decided to scroll through the (Y/YT/N) tag on tumblr. You'd been feeling awkward since you and Dan cried of laughter in front of hundreds of people, and fanart, or anything else of the sort, made you feel good.

Scrolling down the page, a few things caught your eye.

There was a drawing of you and Dan, sitting on the stage, laughing, tears streaming down your faces. Emma and Phil stood on the other side of the stage, looking completely and utterly confused. There was a little heart above you and Dan that said "I ship it"

Okay, so one person ships it. That doesn't mean anything.

You scrolled down the page, and there was a picture of you and Dan laughing, with your head leaning on his shoulder. The caption read "If this isn't love, I don't know what is"

Love?! Isn't this nonexistent relationship moving a little fast? And that isn't love, that's just... A really misleading screenshot.

You scrolled a little more. There was a picture of a moment during the game where you and Dan glanced at each other. The caption read "Get yourself a man that looks at you the way Dan looks at (Y/n)."

Okay, this was a bad idea.

You sighed. Shutting the laptop, you looked around your room. Emma had gone to film with some American friends she hadn't seen in a while, so no one else was around to talk to. You decided to play video games.

You finished hooking your switch up to the TV, and loaded up (game of choice), when a knock sounded at the door. Sighing, you stood up, and opened the door.

"Hey girl!" Was all you heard before being engulfed in a hug.

(Haha bet you thought it was gonna be Dan or Phil)

"Tyler, I can't b - breathe..." You stuttered out. Tyler Oakley - he seems harmless, but damn, he is strong.

"Sorry, sorry. But how have you been? It's been so long!"

Tyler was always one of your closest friends, and the first YouTuber (other than Emma) that you'd ever collaborated with. "It has, hasn't it? I've been good! Want to come in?"

"Yeah..." Tyler said, stepping into the room. "Listen, (Y/n), we need to talk." His sudden tone change made your throat small.

"Erm... Okay..."

"Stop being so serious! What we need to talk about is the new love of your life, A-K-A Dan Howell!" He sat on your bed, a toothy grin appearing on his face. "Tell me everything."

You sighed. "There's nothing to tell! We're barely friends, I just happened to move across the hall from him and Phil."

"Just happened to, after years of being obsessed with him."

"Ugh, I regret telling you anything."

"Say what you want, but I know you've seen all that stuff on tumblr."

"How did you..."

"I know you, (Y/n). I know that you felt weird after the whole laughing thing today, so you went on tumblr to look at fanart to make you feel better. I also know that fanart, fan edits, and a bunch of screenshots of you and Dan are flooding tumblr right now."

"Damn. You're good."

"I know. Haven't you learned that I'm good at everything?"

"Well, I know that you aren't very good at reading emotions. I don't like Dan romantically. I'm star-struck."

"Well, do you feel the same things for Phil?"

"No, but-"

"No buts! If you really were star-struck then you'd feel the same things for Phil. You like Dan. Just accept it."

"Why do you make me face my emotions? It's so much easier if I bury them. That way no ones gets hurt."

(Your character is kinda passive, sorry if that isn't you :<)

"If you bury your emotions, you're getting hurt."

"Listen Ty, I haven't decided how I feel about Dan yet. Until then, can we just not talk about it?"

"Whatever's best for you, I'm on board. I've made it a point to help get you a man, just to let you know. For now, let's just film a video."

Poor Tyler. He has no idea what he's just gotten himself into.

So this chapter is kinda only here to incorporate Tyler into the story, but I think it turned out good! You're finally starting to accept your emotions c: Should I start putting in more YouTubers, other than you, Emma, Dan and Phil (and now Tyler)? I think I should. After the VidCon chapters something big is coming that I want to do for drama but don't (I can't talk you why because spoilers). Oh well, that's it for now.

Bye my beautiful babes!
