Family (A Dan Howell Fic)

.:Christmas Disasters:.

Dan drove us home and I still couldn't believe he was here with me on Christmas.

"Dan, did you really leave your family on Christmas? I told you to stay with them." I wasn't mad or anything, just curious as to why.

"Not exactly."

"What?"

"You'll see."

I was expecting us to go inside and skyepe them or something but I could hear people inside.

He unlocked the door and we went upstairs to the lounge, his mum, dad, Adrian and even Colin were there.

"Alyssa! Dan!" His mum cheered. "Did anything interesting happen today?" She said after hugging the two of us. Dan had obviously told them, and I was happy he cared enough to share with his family.

I showed them my ring and his parents clapped and cheered. As Adrian, his brother was petting their dog, Colin on the sofa.

"Aww, I hope you're the one." She whispered to me. I blushed. I looked to Dan who was too.

"Alyssa, this is Adrian." Dan introduced. Adrian was much taller than me, but a lot younger. We shook hands and Colin ran up to me.

"Colin!" I sat and pet him.

"How do you know Colin?" Adrian said in a curious voice. The only reason I knew Colin was from Dan's instagram. I didn't want to tell him that. I could already see he thought I was weird.

"Oh...Dan told me about him." I gave Dan the "play along" face. I mean it wasn't a big deal that I was a fan of theirs, but I didn't want to seem weird to them.

"Yea, we were talking the other day." He winked at me.

Adrian wasn't buyng it, we were pretty obvious, but he went along, not caring on his phone.

We all caught up and I told them the details about the surprise. Dan had his arm around me. I looked at our small tree that Dan and Phil put up the other day.

"How long were those there?"

"Oh, I forgot! We bought gifts!" Mrs.Howell got up and gave one to Dan and one to me. The last one was probably for Phil.

"You didn't need to get me anything." I smiled at her.

"Yes I did! Open it." She looked very excited.I opened the box and there was a folded jumper inside. I unfolded it and it was a black knitted dress. I turned to Dan and he had a matching jumper.

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much." I got up and hugged her.

We had a quick lunch at a cute cafe down the street. Then they left and it was just Dan and I in the flat.

We were on the couch just talking, holding hands, laughing. 

"You are amazing, Dan Howell." I kissed him.

"Not like you." He said after. "So you know Colin?" He giggled, I blushed. I hit him softly.

"I tried not to let it slip out. I don't want them to think I'm weird. You thought I was weird at first, didn't you?"

"No. Maybe a bit obsessed."

"I am alot obsessed." I kissed him again.

"I have an idea." He started.

"And what's that?"

"Lets wear our matching jumpers and go out?"

"Where do you plan on going?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Well we just ate. So coffee?"

"Why not?" We changed into our jumpers and left.

  

We got there and waited in line to order. I went on my phone and Dan started to talk to someone. I looked over and he was vlogging.

"Hello internet, Alyssa and I are getting coffee."

"You're going to tell people about us?" I whispered away from the camera.

"If it's ok with you?"

"Well I don't want a second channel vlog to be the way of spilling it."

He got his phone out and tweeted a picture of us and his family at the cafe earlier with the caption "My family is all together." Immediatly, there were comments and tweets about me and I didn't want to read them. Well I did, but I didn't want to ruin our day. It was Christmas, anyways.

"Better?" He kissed my forehead.

I nodded. It was Dan's turn to order, then mine. We paid and waited for our names to be called. Dan kept vlogging, then stopped to talk to me, just me.

"Alyssa, what do you think of the future."

"As in, our future?"

"Y-yea."

"I'm not sure what I think. You never know what will happen. What will we do?"

"We will grow old, the three of us."

"Three?"

"Yea, you, me, and Phil." He giggled.

"I can't imagine you without Phil. Apparently, you can't either."

"Yea, nevermind, I don't like talking about the future."

"It will be a surprise."

Dan's name was called and he continued to vlog.

I sat and waited, texting my mum about his proposal. I saw a man's shadow stand in front of me. It was that same idiot who beat me before. I became very scared and looked for Dan who was lost in the crowd.

I looked back at my phone, telling my mum that I had to go, but he was staring at me.

"Hey, don't pretend I'm not here." He said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I have to go." I saw Dan coming back with his drink in one hand, and his camera in the other speaking to it about his drink.

"Don't go." He grabbed my hand. I pulled away harshly and tried to run when he squealed and dropped to the ground. 

I turned quickly to see he had stabbed himself in the chest with what looked like a knife. Blood was seeping from his shirt and he was moaning.

"HELP!" He yelled. I leaned over him and he whispered to me.

"No one can help you now."

"What?" I was confused.

"HELP!" people were gathering around us. "THIS GIRL STABBED ME HELP!!!" He winked at me. He is so disgusting.

"No, no I didn't! He did it to himself!"

Two police men who were conviniently in the cafe took me by the arms and lifted me up.

"Hey, get off of me!"

"Ma'am, don't struggle." They were keeping me still. A woman called 999 and that guy was on the floor coughing.

This was becoming really dramatic and I wanted to be released. I was struggling and they pulled me out of the cafe. The last thing I saw was Dan holding his coffee and camera, looking afraid. Afraid of me. I shook my head trying to motion to him that I didn't do it. But he didn't react. He had a dead look in his eyes. Did he believe that I did that? 

There were tears in his eyes, and in mine. I couldn't think about the future now. I couldn't even picture one.
