adopted by phan

chapter 2

how would you like me and dan to adopt you?

yeah i know it sounds cheesy and cliché or whatever but, as it so happens, the room begins to spin and everything turns black as i fall to the ground.

***

i open my eyes to see three faces hovering above my own - dan, phil and mrs june - and i blush in embarrassment.
"hey there ashley, you really had us scared for a second," says phil, gently "are you okay?"
"im f-f-fine" i stutter in reply

10 minutes later, after assuring dan and phil multiple times that i was well and truly okay, im finally alone.
i sigh and collapse on my bed, holding my head in my hands while everything that has happened starts to sink in.
well, i think, I'd best start packing, then.

***

since neither dan nor phil can drive, dan calls an uber. it pains me to say it, but, ever since my the accident i have not been able to stand being in cars. phil seems to sense my wariness, and places his arms around me. i give up and sob into his shoulder as i re-live that day;

i'm only 6 years old yet my memory is so clear. it's freezing cold and pitch black outside, with only our headlights and those of the surrounding cars to guide us. my mum, dad and brother are singing along to an old abba song and im trying to hum along too. my dad cries out as he loses control of the steering wheel. the car skids on the ice and we're all panicking. i scream out a warning as another car comes right at us... but im too late.
it hurls into us and my head smashes into the seat in front. i feel blood trickling down my forehead as i desperately scream my families names. silence is all i hear in return.

i can feel myself crying and i fall to the ground; i cant seem calm down. my breathing is ragged as i rock backwards and forwards on the floor.

phil's pov

oh dammit no shes freaking out. shes screaming something that sounds like a name??
i crouch down in front of her and rub circles on her back. i quietly whisper to her "calm down, you're okay, calm down, everything's fine" over and over until finally her breathing slows and she turns to look at me. shes exhausted. she mumbles a 'thank you' and pulls me into a hug.

dans pov
given recent events, me and phil collectively decided to take the train home. ashley was in a deep sleep when we got to our stop and instead of waking her i picked her up and carried her home which, thankfully, was only a five minute walk.
to avoid getting recognised by any of the phannies, me and phil made sure to pull up our hoods and keep our eyes down. obviously, some sort of god or goddess was on our side.

***time skip***

ashley's pov

"w-where am i?" i ask as i take in my surroundings
"at your new home of course" says phil in reply, giving me a goofy smile
"oh," i say, "its nice"
"and," continues dan, "we have a few house warming/ new daughter presents to give you!!!

he hands me a cube-sized box wrapped in their very own dan and phil wrapping paper. i smile as i see the wrapping paper and carefully un-wrap the little box, not wanting to rip the paper. inside is an rose gold iphone X. i literally cant believe my eyes.
"th-this is for m-m-me?" i ask, shocked
"of course it is" says phil
"b-but this is w-way t-to exp-pensive!"
"oh per-lease! you are our daughter and we dont want anything but the best for you and-"
he's cut off by me simply attacking him with a hug.

they also tell me that tomorrow we are going into town to buy paint and furniture to decorate my new room and any clothes i want. i sigh, im so happy

i promise it gets better lol just stick with me at least until chapter five and hopefully you will begin to enjoy it
