Again // d.h

Chapter 9

Dan's POV

We must have fallen asleep last night, because I had woken up in (y/n)'s living room on the floor. I remembered the events from last night and anger began to rush through my body. I cared about her and if any prick thought be could waltz into her life like that then they were wrong. I pushed the thought away and sat up, only to see her on the sofa above me, still asleep. She looked peaceful and happy, I grabbed for my phone. No messages apart from some tweets. I slid open the lock on my phone.

Daniel Howell

My viewers cracked me up. I don't even know why I tweeted that to be honest. Well, to late. I checked my instagram and checked my new followers list. One new follower. (I/n) (instagram name). I tapped on her account and followed her, I scrolled through her feed like I had before and saw all of her pictures with Josh had been deleted. I smiled to myself.

Dan.

Stop.

You are horrible, she is upset about this and probably hates you.

I looked at her and she began to stir. "Morning." I said, pretending to have just woken up. "Morning dan, oh lord I just realized it's the 23rd." She said groggily. "I need to start packing." She said. "I leave tomorrow morning."              "Wait, you're going home?" I asked in a tone of realization. "Yup." I smiled "well we should go home together, we live on the same street after all." I said rubbing my eye. "Oh my God, yeah." She laughed. She didn't stop laughing either "what?" I chuckled, she got her stolen breath back and sat up "we live on the same fucking street and haven't ever seen each other since year 11" she began to laugh again. "I suppose" I said, catching her contagious laugh.

After about an hour of laughing, another two spent packing and listening to panic!, we were finally flopped on her sofa. "Wanna go for a walk?" I asked turning my head to face to her. "Why not." She sat up and ran to her room, by this time we were already dressed so all I had to do was put on some shoes and a coat. It made me think as I was alone. I had seen her, multiple times, but I was apparently a dick so I didn't make any effort to contact her in any way. I was snapped out of my thoughts as she came down the stairs wearing a teddy bear jacket and fashionable outfit. She always looked nice. I realised I was staring and turned red. She noticed too, because she did the same.

We walked out of the complex. "Its 12:00" she said to no one in particular. "Are you hungry?" I asked beginning to grin. "No." She said looking at a McDonalds across the road. "Way to drop hints, (y/n)" I begin but she glares at me before softening her features. "I'm always hungry, it was just a stupid question anyway, you spork" she said trying to sound severe. I chuckled lightly.

We had ordered and were now sat next to the window, the sky was black and there were no birds. I heard (y/n) sigh and then rest her chin on the table. "What's wrong?" I asked and she looked up. "I can't believe him" I was about to stop her but let her vent. "I mean, I trusted him whole heartedly and loved him for 3 years, but once we find a fucking apartment and I literally think he will propose in the very near future, he waltzed in with that Bitch and fucked her behind my back in the apartment I pay for." She began to look teary eyed as she sat back up. She sighed once more before placing a French fry into her mouth. "I am a wreck, who needs ice cream and Netflix." I smiled at her remark and placed my hand on hers. "Orrrr, you need pizza and Mario kart.." I smiled as her face lit up. She wiped her cheeks and sniffled before beaming, her smile made my heart do a somersault in my chest. "Hell to the yes." She stood and I followed, I payed for her and we left making an infinite trek back to the apartment.

All of a sudden I felt a cold watery substance land on my cheek. Almost in unison we looked up and snow began to fall, heavy and fast. We attempted to run back but it became thicker as we did. We reached the complex and stumbled in. "Bummer, I love snow, just not when I'm wearing jeans." She said staring in awe through the window before we trod up the endless stairs.
"Bloody. Hell. I am. So. Unfit." She said in between breaths. "We're home Phil." I shout and get no reply, I walk into the kitchen and see there's a sticky note attached to the fridge. "I've gone to the pub and met up with some old friends, I won't be home until 11 or something." I read aloud and turned to (y/n) "well, I'll order pizza and you can go get Mario kart set up." She smiled while pulling out her phone. "Okay" I said while walking to the tv and setting it up. I really liked her. I don't know why, but this feeling didn't need an explanation, it just was there and I was okay with that. She wouldn't feel the same and I had to deal with that, which made my chest hurt at the thought of not being with her so she could brighten my day. "Okay that's done." I heard a sweet voice from behind me. "So is this" I say handing her a controller.

We played for a while before the pizzas arrived. "I'll get them." (Y/n) smiled as she looked at my pyjamas laughing slightly and standing up. I watched her walk out of the room and sat back as I opened instagram. I scrolled through my feed and stopped when I saw a picture someone had edited showing (y/n) and I laughing and holding hands, I subconsciously double tapped and before I could stop myself the heart flashed up on the photo. "oh, shit" I murmured under my breath and quickly unliking it although it would do nothing. The notification would still be on their phone, it'd go down as a screenshot and in the 'I got noticed' post. I put down my phone and sighed, leaning back and rubbing my head stress fully.

"Everything alright?" I heard (y/n) say as she placed the pizzas down on the coffee table. "Yup, yeah, everything is greatttt" I say sarcastically. "What have you done Daniel?" She said crossing her arms and looking at me knowingly. "I liked a post on my feed of us two by accident." I say sighing again "so what, we're friend's I'm sure they'll get over it." I looked at her and she must've read my mind because her face dropped and she blushed slightly. "Oh...ohhh" she looked down for a second and tucked a loose hair behind her ear. "Right, well, I'm sure they'll understand?" She smiled and flopped next to me with a slice of pizza. "It's not going to eat itself." She said, grinning as she must have seen me zone out. "Right" I said biting into a slice. It was like heaven had filled my mouth. "I wuv pwissa" I said with my mouth full. She just giggled and shook her head, reaching for the controller. I did the same and that moment felt like it was just us in a static room. Our hands had reached for the same controller and she hadn't moved hers away when I placed mine on top. We stayed like that for a second until one of us moved it away, but we didn't. "Dan" she said in a soft voice and I felt her deep (e/c) eyes stare into my head, I turned to be met with her face, her hair framing her head perfectly and her features standing out in the darkness of the room, illuminated by the screen. "(y/n)." I replied in a quiet voice. Before I could process what was going on she was leaning in and so was I, I felt her soft hand cup around my pale face and I brushed a hair from her forehead. The moment we were a centimetre away from connecting, she closed the gap, our lips touching in a perfect kiss. Indefinable. But perfect.

Hey, hey hey. Sorry no update in a while. But its fucking finally the last day of school tomorrow. F i n a l l y.  It's nearly Christmas and I'm buzzing. Dan's new tweet had me creased. And that's a small life update, not to mention an irrelevant one. Dan vs. Phil and Pinof 10 news had me sobbing. That's about it really, and if tomorrow is your last day too, I will make you a certificate for surviving. Cya later xx
