Family (A Dan Howell Fic)

.:Please Hear Me:.

The next morning we woke up in the same bed, but we weren't awkwardly staying apart. We were snuggling under the blankets. I woke up and remembered yesterday. It was a beautiful day. I wish we could replay it over and over. I looked over to see Dan sleeping.

We came home yesterday, and Phil wasn't home at the time, so we never really told him about us. But I think he knew.

He was starting to wake and I kissed him quickly. He smiled but his eyes were still closed. He stretched and looked at me.

"Good morning, Alyssa."

"Good morning, Daniel." I kissed him again. He turned and took his phone.

"Oh shit."

"What?"

"Um you know how last week I forgot to tell you guys about the church, but you were super ok with last minute things?"

"Dan?"

"PJ is having a Christmas party tonight and he sent a reminder."

"Really?"

"Yea!" He tried to be enthusiastic and smiled really big.

"Your lucky I like you." I sat up and stretched. "Can I shower?"

"Yea, you don't have to ask anymore."

"So, for Christmas..." he started.

"I can't stay for Christmas."

"Oh, I thought.."

"Me too. My grandmother, she is really ill. I think I'm going to fly to Florida after my apartment is done. She is the only family I have besides my mum."

"Oh y.."

My phone rang and I took it off the side table.

"Hello?"

"Hi is this Alyssa Burr?"

"Yes it is."

"Hi, it's the workers for your apartment."

"Oh, hi."

"So your apartment is completely cleaned now..."

"Great, I can move back in?" I looked over to Dan, who was less than pleased.

"Actually, we found mold in your flooring, and you have a mild water leak."

"Is it bad?"

"Not too bad, maybe another weeks work."

"You're kidding."

"No, I'm sorry. We also had to remove some furniture where the mold spread."

"What furniture exactly."

"One of the side tables and the sofa in the lounge area."

"No, you can't get rid of that." That sofa belonged to my grandfather a long time ago.

"Im sorry, you could become very ill."

I felt the tears fall off my cheek. I looked into space. I didn't know what to think. That was the only thing I had of his. I hung up wiped away my tears. I turned around and saw Dan standing behind me.

"Are you alright?" He sympathized

I tried to nod yes, but I couldn't. "No." I cried into his chest and he nestled me, rubbing my back, his chin on my head. We sat on the bed and I told him what was going on. He hugged and kissed me, and Phil came in and did the same. I loved them so much.

"I might lose my grandmother, and now part of my grandfather is gone. I'm losing my family, Dan."

"Think about the future, maybe you, or we, will have children of our own one day. These experiences will help them become better people."
