I've missed being able to write so much in one day. Be sure to check out my YT (Link in bio) :) Don't forget to vote!

You had a restless night. Sleeping on a park bench in the middle of London isn't exactly your ideal place to sleep. You have nothing with you except your phone. No computer, no wallet, no money. You don't want to go back into that place, you just don't feel safe anymore. There's no one you can call.

Your eyes slide steadily awake as the first ray of light appears from the sun. It's still quite dark and cold. You sit up and rub your eyes. You look down at your sleeve to find it blood stained from when you wiped your bleeding nose. You bring a tender hand up your nose and check for blood, none. You decide to stare at the rising sun for a bit longer since there wasn't much to do. But it gave you time to come up with a plan.

Dan's POV

*Beep, Beep, Beep* The steady beeping from my alarm awakes me from my sleep. I pick up my phone and look at the time. 7am. Phil and I are having an important meeting at Starbucks this morning with some people who work at YouTube. I unwillingly get out from between the sheets and start to get ready.

~Time skip to 8am

We reach Starbucks and are met by some people who I mainly don't recognise. We take a seat, order breakfast and get down to work. Quite boring in my opinion.

Your POV

Your stomach growls with hunger and it feels like your bladder could explode within the next hour. You decide to get up and start wondering around since people were starting to give you weird stares. I wonder where I can find a toilet, maybe I could see if there's one at Starbucks. You pull out google maps and start to make your way towards where you met Dan yesterday. You still had no plan of what you were going to do, maybe you could sneak back in later but not that you particularly wanted to.

Eventually you reach Starbucks and push open the door, a bells rings and you walk towards the counter. The cashier looks at you weirdly, after all your hair is a mess, you have a blood-stained nose and you look like death. "Umm." You look around briefly. "Is there a toilet I could use?"

"Erm, not here sorry. There's one in the underground though." She says shocked.

"Uh, okay...thanks." You give her a small smile and turn to walk out when you are stopped.

"(Y/N)!" You turn around to see Dan standing a few meters away from you. Your heart begins to race, he still remembers you. Of course, he does, we only met yesterday thinking that I was his stalker. Oh no, he can't see me like this. I should tell him what happened, but I don't want to worry him. Ugh what am I going to do?!

Dan's POV

Phil and I listen intently to the YouTube representatives. My attention was drawn away from them as I heard the bell to the shop ding. I watched the person approach the register and quickly look over their shoulder. (Y/N). What was she doing here, and what the hell happened to her. From the quick glance, I got of her she looked like a mess. Blood stained nose, messy hair.

"Dan, Dan." Phil clicks his fingers in front of my face. "Are you even listening, this is important."

"Yeah..." I trail off. "Just wait a minute." I get up from the table and walk towards (Y/N) who is about to leave the shop.

"(Y/N)!" I call after her. She stops and turns on her heel.

"O-Oh, umm. Dan, hi." She rubs her nose to try and cover up the blood.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

"I-It's nothing." She says quietly. It definitely isn't nothing.

"Hey, (Y/N). You can tell me anything..." I trail off as I touch her arm gently and she flinches. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"Oh, umm." She ponders for a minute. "C-Can we talk?" She asks moving a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Sure, just let me quickly do something." I guide her over to an empty booth and go to the counter and order her a hot chocolate and a muffin. I take it and sit down with her.

"Thanks Dan." She smiles weakly at me and takes a sip from the steaming drink. We sit in silence for a few minutes. I watch on as she digs into the muffin. I can tell she's enjoying it by the smile on her face. I lean back and wait for her to finish her meal but honestly, she seems so calm, peaceful. I could just sit here all day with her in silence. Sounds weird seeming how I just met her yesterday. But I watched a lot of her videos last night and I feel like I know her really well now. Dorky, nerdy, loves video games, weird-in a good way. A lot like Phil and me. And most of all she isn't afraid to be herself, that's what matters the most. Okay, so maybe we were both obsessed fans of each other.

"Dan, what are you possible doing that could be taking this lon..." Phil trails off and stares down at (Y/N). "(Y/N)?"

"Huh? You know who I am?" She says shocked.

"Yeah, we both watch your videos."

"Really?!" She says excitedly.

"Mmhm, but most importantly. What happened to you (Y/N)?" Phil takes a seat down next to me.

"Well, last night..."

Your POV

"Well, last night Alroy – That's the guy who I currently live with." You place the muffin down on the table. You were half in shock because of what happened last night but also because The Dan and Phil are sitting right in front of you, and they know who you are. You continue... "He threw a massive party last night and it kind of got out of hand and this drunk guy came into my room. I told him to leave and he got mad. He uhm..." You trail off biting your lip. Dan's hands cup yours which are resting on the table, comforting you he says,

"It's okay (Y/N)." Dan says. You smile down at your hands. Phil moves from Dan's side and puts and arm around your shoulders comforting you too. Gosh, they are tall.

"Well he...he said that he was going to make me pay. He tried a move on me and things got...well they got violent. I managed to get him to the ground but he pulled at my ankles and I fell. That's how I got the blood nose and cracked phone screen." I motioned to my phone which was lying on the table beside me. "And, I then ran out of the house and he, uhm...he started to chase me." You were slightly trembling now. Phil gently rubbed your arm. "I had to hide under a truck and sleep on a park bench, which sounds really weird now I say it." You let out a small laugh.

"It's not weird at all." Dan says quietly, a sad smile forming his pale lips.

"Do you have anywhere to go?" Phil asks. You shake your head.

"How about you come to ours, you can get yourself cleaned up and we can decide what to do from there and I imagine you don't want to go back do you." Dan says letting go of your hands. The warm and fuzzy feeling it gave you subsided. ­­­­

"Heh, no not really. But all my stuff is there."

"That's okay." Phil smiles. "We'll worry about that later." Dan and Phil stand up at the same time. "We have to finish up a meeting, that should take another twelve minutes if that's alright with you?."

"That's okay."

"Oh umm...and here." Dan reaches into his wallet and takes out a ten-pound note. "Feel free to get more food while you wait." He places it on the table.

"You don't have to- "

"No, (Y/N). You don't have to feel bad when someone helps you out." He says.

"H-How, did you know that I feel bad when people help me?"

"We watched your videos (Y/N)." Phil interrupts. "And we really like them."

"Really?!" You beam.

"Yes really." Dan says. "Now, take the money and buy something." You take it from the table and look up at Dan.

"Thank you, guys so much."

"It's no problem." They turn and walk off to their meeting.
