For Beth, it was just another night. Getting fucked up to take her thoughts and pain away, even if its just for a few hours, or even days. Then, she just does it over again. And over. And over. Constantly avoiding anything and everything she can, while it lasts. Smoking and drinking her troubles away.
For Dan, it wasnt like any other night. Getting fucked up just to take his thoughts and pain away, even if it was only for a few hours. Maybe even a day. Promising to himself this is a one time swing, and he'll never do it again. He says it over. And over. And over. He constantly avoids anything and everything he can, while it lasts. Smoking and drinking his troubles
away.
Beth's simple "Can I use your lighter?" Will cause her a journey she never asked for.
Dan being asked if someone can use his lighter will cause him a journey he never asked for.

Dan has given up on ever being happy. Life has lost its meaning, and everything he seems to do causes some form of destruction, and Dan is so tired of destroying the things he used to love. He's lost so much, and he's scared of losing Phil, the only thing he can bring himself to care about. But Dan can't see past his own depression that Phil is struggling with bulimia, and that he's equally good at hiding his dark thoughts as Dan. And as Dan walks through the streets alone at night getting high to escape from the hell he's trapped himself in, will he be able to see that maybe the happiness he craves so desperately is not on the streets in the form of white pills, but inside his own apartment in the form of Phil Lester? Or will it be too late... WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, USE OF DRUGS, VIOLENCE, HIGH LEVELS OF ANGST, BULIMIA, AND THEMES OF SUICIDE.

Hopeless (Dan Howell X Reader)
"I'm sorry," he began, stepping forward "I couldn't say this over the phone. I couldn't. I just... I was so happy!" Your face fell, you were sitting here, dreading everything you had ever done, and he was happy. "When you told me, my heart stopped, I - I couldn't speak... I love you (Name.) and I couldn't tell you that, without wanting to touch you, to hold you, to make you mine, and just... just look at you." He sighed, his cheeks beet red, your own matching him style.

Smile, Dan
DISCLAIMER: This story is mature because it will have some self harm in it. It will also have some swearing due to that's how Dan actually talks. This is not about Phan being real. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Now onto what it is really about: Dan Howell is becoming more and more depressed. His family, his community, not even his best friend, Phil Lester, can help him. He believes he's a lost cause, and he's a mistake. He tries to hide it best he can, but some nights, it's just too much. During this, he's lost his will to smile. He'll fake smiles for videos and pictures, but he's lost a reason to genuinely smile.Complete

He hides his power and himself, fearing nothing more than getting attached to somebody and dragging them down.

Phil's like a drug, and boy, is Dan addicted.
