One Simple Push (Dan Howell x Reader)

Chapter 4: Their Past

*heres a little recap*

I hear my phone ring. It's (Y/n). I answer, with the gun I had previously, now on the desk.
"Hello?"
"Jaken. I know I don't know you well, and now, I wish I'd known you more. I care along about you, and wouldn't bare life without you," my breath hitches, "please please please come over. I want to be there with you to tell you everything. Because, I know what you're going through, I tried commuting suicide multiple times, and only now I see the importance of life," her voice is very shaky and she sounds like she crying, as if she still feels the way she did. As if she still felt that way-, "so please, meet me at the lake in 20 minutes."
"Promise~"

*end*
Still Jaken's POV:

I hid my blade, and my gun. I jump out of my window, making sure to not make a noise. I have no need to be beaten by my "mother".
'Just breath, walking won't take to long...' I constantly tell myself that I can make it, just so I can be with (Y/n). My eyes catch the world around me, and it's calming me.
After twenty minutes, I reach her house. I've gotta knock. My hand is trembling, but I convince myself.

(Y/n)'s POV:
I run to my door and let Jaken in. It's now, 11pm-ish.
"I'm so glad you came." I have a wiry line across my face where previous tears had fallen, and my new ones follow the track. I hug Jaken, embracing him with as much love as a possibly could.
"Y-yeah. Anytime, uh- why did you want me to come over?"
"Because I care for you and need you in my life."
"But you've barely known me-"
"Does that matter?"
"I-I don't know..."
"Follow me. Please."

Jaken's POV:
I follow her, and she brings me toward a room--which I'm guessing is hers.
"(Y/n?)"
"Yeah?"
"Why do you care?"
"I-uh-I just can't loose you. You're way to important to me, and I just can't loose you..." Her voice trails off, leaving something out. Without second though, I kiss her cheek.
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't be sorry. I know what it's like to feel--unimportant. But just know you mean everything to me. You're the only person I can talk to. Relate to. The only person I truly feel I can care about and-"
"You've made my life. I'll try to get better, with you by my side. Promise?"
"I promise." She's now crying heavily and I have tears falling off my face.
*end of flash back from flash back*
(Still Jaken's POV but in the other flash back!)
"(Y/n)?"
"Hmm?"
"You almost ready? We've gotta head to class."
"No I don't wanna. Let's ditch!"
"We have a test!"
"Then we'll call in sick!"
"Fine. You've got me there."
"Ha!" She stuck her tongue out and made an adorable face. God she's so cute.
"Well, what shall we do-"
"Let's get tattoos. I've got fake ID's"
"What how?!" She doesn't answer my question, she just hops the fence and beckons me to follow. She takes out her phone, and calls the office, making sure her voice sounds like her mother, who's taking care of us both as my mother is now in prison.
"Hello. This is the mother is of (Y/n) and Jaken. They both are very ill, and may be out for a few days" I can't hear the other line, but she hangs up and jumps into her car. I follow her lead and hop into her car. I love this car of hers, it's a black BMW with a convertible top, and red interior. She starts the car and drives towards our destination, the tattoo parlor.

"So, (Y/n), what's with all this new camera equipment?" I question her.

"Didn't you know I took photography and editing as my extra classes because I finished my AP classes as a Sophomore as well as language?"

"How?"

"Our school does the four by four schedule, remember."

"Oh right..."

"Anyways, how are you in the Japanese classes?"

"I'm doing good, they even offered me to be one of the students to travel to Tokyo!"

"Really? When?"

"This summer."

"Jaken! That's like a month away why did you not tell me!"
