Chapter 4

(y/n)'s POV

The rain battered the car windows as I sat waiting for my sister to come out of the pizza place. She was staying for the weekend. I really think I could eat more healthy, it's not like I don't but two takeaways in a row... who am I kidding? No one? Good.

"Here" I heard Ellie's voice as she steps into the car. "C'mon then I'm bloody hungry." She demands making me chuckle, on the way home we just played green day full volume until we arrived at the apartment complex. "Which Floor again?" she groaned, "third, calm down, it's only a couple of pizzas mate"

We walked into the apartment, the christmas scented candles aroma being cancelled out by the over powering smell of dominos pizza. All of a sudden Ellie dumps 4 pizzas into my arms to take her shoes and drenched coat off. "Wow thanks" I mutter. "I'm home, and could you fucking help I think if I tried any harder I'd drown in bloody pizzas... erm that sounded better in my head." I shouted down the hall, which lead to an array of laughter coming from the living room. Who was here? Suddenly Josh appeared in his jeans and jumper. He grabbed the pizzas from my hand and we began a slow walk to the living room, Ellie racing past us. I heard her muffle something from the other room but just thought she was talking to herself, because I wouldn't be surprised. 

I took my coat off before we entered the living room and randomly dumped it to one side with my shoes, but as I turned the corner I walked into a small figure. "Watch the fuck out" I laughed as I realised it was Ellie, only to look up and see the person I never thought I would ever have to see ever again. "Dan?" I spluttered looking him straight in the eye. Why in unholy hell was Dan Howell in MY living room? Did Josh know him or was I missing something here? "(y/n)" He said, as he stood there I took a moment to take in his features. His voice had gotten a tad deeper and his hair had been placed at one side with it's natural 'hobbit' like form. His eyes were still a deep chocolate brown and he had grown significantly too. "Why are you here, I haven't seen you in ages and why are you in my house and how the hell have you grown more and why are you in london this is-" I stopped myself as I realised if I didn't I would most likely have a panic attack. "Do you two know each other?" Josh pondered from the corner of the room still holding the pizzas. "Erm, yeah" Dan stuttered "School" he added. were his eyes glossing over, had I just made Dan cry? Was that rude of me? "Well I think we should stop there and discuss this over some pizza." An equally as tall guy said stepping from behind Dan, he was skinny and had raven black hair with light blue eyes. I gestured to the sofa for everyone to sit down. We all did with the TV on in the background. "So how do you guys know each other again?" The other guy asked. 

Dan took a deep breath in. "Well we kind of use to be best friends, but school ended and we kind of..." He trailed off "Lost contact" I added. "Deep" The man chirped in. "Don't think I don't forget all the nights you use to spend watching horror movies at like two am and screaming" Ellie chuckled to herself, causing Dan to smile revealing his dimple and me to nudge her. "So you were best friends huh?" Josh asked chowing down on a bit of pizza. "Yeah, went through hell together. Literally." I spoke up causing them to laugh. "I'm Phil by the way" The other guy said. "Well hello Phil, I'm (y/n)" I smiled. 

We sat there just talking, but it felt like Dan had never gone, like he had been there through everything, and like we hadn't drifted apart. I felt so protected around him and like my youth was still the moment I was living in. It was strange but I didn't mind it. We talked and reminisced old memories from school and sleepovers.

"Oh also Dan. Why are you actually here again?" I ask, as he seemingly dogged the question earlier. "We literally live opposite you guys." He shrugged his shrugged his shoulders and looked at the hall leading to the door. "Really?" I asked nearly choking on my pizza. I looked up and met Dan's face, he had a grin plastered onto his face. "What?" I asked giving in to the smile. "Nothing!" He replied abnormally fast, also standing in the process. "Where are you going?" I asked "err... Home?" I checked the clock: 11:30. Oh. "Okay, well night I guess" I said smiling warmly at them both. 

I was now lying in bed with the covers pulled up to my face and Josh's arms wrapped around me. I smiled to myself thinking about Dan and his friend Phil, Phil seemed really nice and Dan was just the same genuine kind  guy I knew when I was 16, Josh told me he was a youtuber, which I could imagine. But I was amazed when he told me he had just been on tour. Dan, the most introverted guy I know who is terrified of participating in social events, went on tour? He never ceases to amaze me. I also still couldn't believe he lived opposite me.

All of a sudden my phone screen lit up and I pulled it towards me, trying not to wake Josh.

UNKOWN

Hey (y/n), sorry it's like four in the morning, but wanna hang out at my place tomorrow? Josh is welcome so is Ellie ? :)

I instantly realised it was Dan and my face lit up.

Yeah, sure! Ellie will probably tag along and Josh has work so he can't come. xx

Idiot! you put two kisses.

Alright, make it 12:00 xx

My heart warmed when I saw the two kisses he added at the end of his. Wait, what? Why? I'd only ever felt that once before, which happened to be the first time Josh hugged me. Oh well.

Night Dan :) xx

Night (y/n) xx
