Chapter 5
It's almost nine in the afternoon and I'm in their lounge, watching some random show on TV. I feel someone's presence in the room, it turns out to be Phil.

"Do you feel like you're home already?" He asks. "Yes, I do, but I just remembered something." Dan is joining us in the lounge. "What is it?" Dan asks. I look at both of them.  "I don't have anything to wear to bed." I say, I forgot to also get some pyjamas whilst we were in the clothing shop. "You can use one of my shirts." Dan says. I really would, but it's so weird honestly. "No, I can't do that.' I say. "It's not a problem if you do." He insists. "Well, if you really don't mind." I say.

Dan leaves the room for a few seconds, coming back with a black shirt. "Here you go." He says. "Thank you." "It's no problem." He says. "I'm going to get ready in the bathroom." I say.

I go downstairs, walking into the bathroom. I lock the door of the bathroom and get ready for bed. When putting on the shirt, I feel comfortable already.

I go up the two stairs to the office and I see that someone has made the couch for me to sleep on. There's even a note on it.

I hope you find it good enough. I feel like you needed to be comfortable, so I made it comfortable.
~ Dan

There's no doubt that it'll be comfortable.

>•<

I wake up the next day, almost forgetting where I am. There's a faint knock on the door. "Y/N? Are you up yet?" Someone asks. I get up and open the door, revealing Phil. "Good morning." I yawn. "You have to get ready, we're heading out for some breakfast." He says and he starts walking away. "Is the bathroom free?" I ask. "Yep, go ahead." He says and leaves downstairs.

I go down the two stairs into the bathroom. I close the door and get ready. There's a note on the sink.

Here is a toothbrush. I thought that you needed one, I don't mean it in a bad way. I just meant, that everyone needs a toothbrush.
~ Dan

When I'm done, I go upstairs. While walking up the few stairs, Dan comes into my view. "Are you ready?" He asks and I nod. "Phil! Let's go!" Dan yells, Phil walks out of his room. "Okay." He says.

We go outside. I look in the direction of my house, they boarded this side from the street of. What's actually going on? What happened? "You seem distant." Dan says. "Oh. I'm just wondering wat happened yesterday." I explain. "I have honestly no idea. But we can make the best out of it." He says. "Dan's right, you're now living with us. That's honestly quite awesome." Phil says.

We go inside some kind of diner. I follow them to a table in the corner. "Is this table good?" Dan asks. "It's perfect." I say, it's my favourite place to sit, far away from strangers and it's perfect to be invisible. I sit directly in the corner, Phil sits on the opposite side of the table while Dan is sitting next to me.

(When I'm writing this, I'm listening to a song of 5 SOS. The song is called 'Voodoo doll', and I really think that this song is perfect for this story. Well, kinda. Now back to story.)

They both order an English breakfast, but I just order some pancakes. "Are you not so hungry?" Dan asks. "It's just that I've never eaten an English breakfast.'" I say. They both look stunned. "Really? Well, I don't eat them so often, but it's really not that bad." Dan says. (I also never have eaten an English breakfast, I don't eat breakfasts actually. But I don't like the thought of eating so much in the morning. I don't know why, but I think it's like dinner. I'm sorry if I offended somebody. I didn't mean it. Again back to the story.)

For the rest of the breakfast, everyone is quiet. When we are done, Phil and Dan both pays. I told them I also can pay for me, but they insist to pay themselves.

We go outside, going back home although I still don't think it's my home. "If you want, you can use the computer in the office' Dan says. "Oh, really? Thank you." I say, going upstairs and when the computer has loaded I decided on playing [favourite game].

After a while, someone knocks on the door. "Hey." It's Dan. "Are you having fun?" he asks. "Playing this is really good to waste your time." I say. It's quiet all of a sudden.

"How are you doing?" he asks. "I'm great." I lie, I have too much worries. "You seem down." He says. "I'm fine."!I say. "You can tell me if something's wrong. I'll listen to you." He says. 'Well, nothing's wrong. I'm fine." I say, getting a bit mad. People can easily push my buttons. "Can you just leave me alone?" I say, "Just tell me, Y/N. You would feel so much better." He says. I can't believe him. If I don't want to tell him, then I shouldn't do it. It's my decision. I get up, storming of down the stairs.

I walk into Phil. "Everything alright?" He asks, but I just ignore him. I go outside, not knowing where to go.
I eventually arrive at Starbucks.

I order a normal coffee, after waiting for a few minutes my order is ready and I sit in the corner of the shop near the window. I drink a sip of my coffee and look outside, because maybe they'll walk past the shop and see me.

POV Dan

How could I be so stupid. She would tell me if somethings's wrong, only if she wants to. "What's wrong with Y/N?" Phil asks. "I was being stupid again." I say. "Really." He says. "We need to find her.' I say.
"She will come back, Dan." Phil tries to reassure me. "She moved her not long ago. She will get lost and it's my fault." I start to freak out. "Okay, we're going to look for her. We'll find her, I promise." Phil says.

Your POV
They will maybe not even look for me. Why would they do that? I can see a young man coming in. He started looking in my direction, and he's grinning. I try to look away, he probably didn't see me, but I was wrong, he's going my way.

"Hello there." He says. I don't say anything, in the hope that he will go away. "You really think that ignoring me is the best thing you can do? I'm not leaving you alone." He says. I keep quiet. "Come with me." He says. "No." I say. "Are you trying to get away?" He says, I'm in trouble I think.

I don't have the chance to drink my coffee, he grabs me by arm. I'm trying to get away, but his grip is so strong, he drags me to an alley. He pushes me against the wall. He tries to kiss me, but I'm just trying to avoid it. He suddenly stops his attempts. "You're a feisty one." He throws me on the ground, he starts beating me up. He suddenly pulls out a knife. This was it, I think. He stabs me in the ribs, but somehow, he runs away. Before I even could see why, I fainted and everything turned black.

Dun dun Josh Dun... So, that happened. I hope that it's not too brutal. Not every story has to be perfect. I just thought that there has to be some drama. And here it is. For some reason, I was excited when writing it, mostly because I already dreamt about what will happen next.
