Our Laughter Lines (Dan Smith Fanfiction) - Watty's 2014

Overjoyed - Chapter 14

(Lunch Time)

Ella's POV

"But really, Rose. I've never thought that you and Ryan could possibly date..." Ryan, Kyle, Woody, Will and Dan decided to have "men's time" as they called, and we, the girls, were having lunch at the school canteen. "I mean... Ryan is afraid of relationships!" The straight Emma shot.

"Yeah... I know... we didn't want to...but we fell for each other..." Rosie sighted, visibly in love. "But we want to know about you and Danny..." Both punched my arm playfully.

"What you wanna know?" The girls were with curious wide eyes. 

"Obviously everything!" They shouted. "You are dating, aren't ya?" 

"No, we're not Emmeline. And we never were." No way, I could escape them.

"But you both love each other. Ya even confessed!" This made me remember us at Starbucks and that perfect morning. "And I've seen ya arriving to college together...!"

"Emmy, yeah we both confessed but we decided to take this slow." I started. "And yeah, we arrived together because Dan came to my house this morning and then we went to Starbucks... But that's just it..." The girls were trying not to laugh. I probably gestured to much. Ughh. "What?!"

"You noticed her huge smile, when she said Daan?" Rose talked to Emmy, entoning his name, just to tease me.

"Yeah. I did. It's called love, I guess..." She smirked.

"Honey, you should give him a chance. You really should." Rose paused. "I never liked John. But I do want to tell you, that Dan is the guy every girl wants to have. And I do like him."

"Yeah, he cares about you a lot! Showing up at your house in the morning means: I couldn't wait to see you. I missed ya." Emms agreed with Rosie.

"And Ryan thinks the same!" Rose happily added. Two questions: yes? no?

Ella's POV

After college, I went home with Ryan. In the meantime, Rose decided to come, to have some time with my brother. And of course they're on couch, cuddling. So I'm in my bedroom, chatting  with Will on whatsapp.

"Theres a guy who wouldnt stop talking bout ya... ;)" He sent me.

"Really? :)" I replied.

"Yeah, he wants to make ya happy ;)"

"Does him? ;)" Will and I knew exactly who we were about.

"He only needs a chance. :)" He said. How am I gonna respond to this?I thought to myself.

"Okay ;)" The classical answer when you don't know what to say.

(Some minutes afterwards)

Oh I feel overjoyed, when you listen to my words. I see them sinking in. Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin...

I'm mesmerized by this voice, by this song. Wow... this is just too beautiful... Whose this? I click on his profile, named Bastille. No picture and he has only uploaded this song, that goes by the name Overjoyed.

Words are all we have. We'll be talking! We'll be talking! These words are all we have! We'll be talking...!

And I hear you calling in the dead of night! Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night!
