Warning: a lot more swearing than usual in this chapter. Xx
(y/n)'s POV
It was a couple of hours later and I had gotten dressed.
I sat in my room leaning against the floor to ceiling window, my knees tucked up to my chest. I watched the cars drive along the roads and the people race around in the bustling crowds. I felt pressure build up behind my eyes and before I knew it the tears were streaming down my cheeks. I tried to wipe them away, but each one was a new regret. One for nearly kissing another man. Another for loving someone who did not love me and another for being who I was. I can't be myself, clearly, I pushed someone away who I revolved my life around and loved, and pushed my best friend even further away. The apartment no longer seemed cosy and full of joy, but instead like an isolated and cold prison that held awful memories. And the worst thing of all is that I could have possibly and surely been overreacting. I only cried more. My vision becoming blurry and my chest tight. I looked back down to the street and saw blurs of colour instead of people dashing back and forth with Christmas shopping. I was torn out of a daze as someones hand grabbed my shoulder. I gasped and turned to see a tall figure.
"(y/n)?...(y/n)? Are you okay?" It was Dan. "Yes." I said abruptly whilst standing up. I wiped away the warm liquid that was still spilling over my (e/c) eyes with the sleeve of my blue turtle neck. "No." He replied with an anxious tone, now holding my arm. "Yes, Dan, I am fine." I ripped my arm away looking at his pale face and dark curls. "Sorry." He said and I sighed. "No, I am, I'm sorry for being a problematic person and causing issues." I sighed, trying not to let the tears flow. However, he embraced me in a warm hug and I just hugged back, wishing I could stay in his protection like this forever. His familiar scent made memories invade my mind. The lazy days we spent at his house and listened to fall out boy with his band posters littered on the walls of his room. He pulled away making me face the cold room again. "Thanks Dan, I needed that." I feel like I have hugged him more in the past three days than I have with Josh in the past 3 years. "It's fine, so how are you really." He said looking at my features. "To be honest, happy that he isn't fucking a girl behind my back anymore." I said staring into the distance twisting my lips. "When does he get home?" He asked. "Well, I did as you said and texted him that I was at yours. Why did I do that?" I said knitting my eyebrows together. "He'll come home and get ready to see this Sophie person or whatever. That's when I can knock his lights ou-" He started "Daniel. You can TALK to him, not have a game of fisty cuffs." I laughed at his protective tone. "S'ppose I'll settle with a TALK" he imitated my voice. "You better." I laughed flopping onto my soft bed. He followed sighing as he sat. "Oh lord, what's wrong?" I asked now lying back. He followed my action." I just feel awful for you. You just seem so sad and I can't stand that. I didn't realise how much I missed spending time with you." He said staring at the ceiling. "Ugh, me too."
I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Tunnel vision, crap." He said rubbing his eyes. I just laughed and rolled my eyes. "Let's go somewhere." I grabbed my wallet and coat. "Let's" He replied doing the same. We walked out of the door and he dragged me down the street to the nearest cinema. "What do you want to see?" He said looking at the walls. "Easy. Bohemian Rhapsody." I replied smiling at him. "Why not."
The movie made me cry. Laugh. And gave me feels.
We walked out and pushed each other playfully along the way. "I think we should head back." I said yawning. "It's only eight pm" he chuckled."I know, but we have to have another movie night, it was fun." I replied. "Sure." He said laughing. "I'll text Phil." He said whipping his phone out of his coat pocket. "Hey, Dan,what about Josh." I said, hearing the anxiety in my own voice. Every time I heard his voice it built a lump of anxiety in my throat. "Fuck him." He laughed with me.
We were being childish (as per usual) and were skipping down the hall. (Sorry but I just G noted myself. Anyway..) He clicked the door open and we literally kicked our shoes off. He, being the weirdo he is ran and slid down the hall in his socks. "What an idiot" I laughed under my breath. I walked into the living room and then realised I should get another blanket. "Hang on" I said jogging to my room and flicking the bright light on. I nearly choked on nothing when I looked over to the bed. "Josh? What the fuck?" I shouted as the tears spilt over my eyes once again. "(y/n), its not what it looks like." He pleaded. Was he high? Of course it was. The oldest saying for been caught cheating was all he could say? Not even a sorry. I felt blood rush to my head and I held onto the door frame. "What's wrong?" I heard Dan's voice from behind me. "What the actual fuck you dick." He shouted, I hadn't heard him this mad before. "Get the fuck out and take her with you."
He shouted again. "Leave now."
They both scrambled out of the bed half naked and grabbed their things. "And don't come back." He said finally. "I love you (y/n) I really do I-" he said before I cut him off "Save it for the next girlfriend you cheat on." I said trying to sound strong.As the two of them stormed out of the door I felt my legs give way as I fell on the floor crying. I knew but was still mad and in denial about him. Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms wrap around me that were warm and loving and it felt like we stayed like that forever. "I know I expected it, but just not so soon." I sobbed still in shock. "Well you know he's a dick and you deserve better, he just proves that people are twisted and not who you think they are." He said as I cried into his chest. It was just two people alone against a counter in each others arms. Dan and I.
