Struck (Dan Howell, Phil Lester, Jack & Finn Harries, & TW FanFic)

Chapter 7: "Why did you have to go?"

HOLA! Here is the chapter, I know it's shitty...but...yeah :( ALSO I honestly cried when I saw it had 5000+ reads. I can't thank you enough.

I PROMISE THERE WILL BE MORE DAN/PHIL AND JACK/FINN IN IT SOON. PROMISE.

Also, I found the rest of the chapter which I wrote around Christmas time, so it was kinda set around then :P I just added more to it instead of re-writing it, because I'm that lazy :D

Love ya all.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket as I sat down in Starbucks with a mug of hot chocolate and my shopping bags at my feet. I connected to the free WiFi and logged onto Twitter, something I hadn't done in months.

6082 New Interactions

I sighed and scrolled through them, read and replied to some. I sent out a tweet apologising for not being online for months and that I'm okay. One tweet caught my eye.

@danisnotonfire: Why did you have to go?

I choked on the small amount of hot chocolate in my mouth and reread it. It can't be about me. I shook my head and closed the app, then placed my phone down on the table. I finished the rest of my drink and stood up with my mug and handed it back to the barista, who seemed very uninterested about who she was serving.

She half smiled then turned her back to me to check her makeup in a compact mirror. I raised my eyebrow slightly but just shook my head at the floor and went to pick up my shopping bags. I slung my bag back over my shoulder and walked through the doors, my arms laden with Christmas presents. I walked back the way I came whilst looking at my feet. In the distance I swear I heard someone shouting.

"Excuse me! Miss!" A voice said very breathlessly behind me. I turned round to face a very tall and very good looking guy. (In the sidebar)

"What is it?" I asked and blushed at the fact he would even talk to me.

"You left your phone in Starbucks, here you go." He said and half smiled, holding out his hand.

I tried to hold out my hand to take it from him, but I just ended up dropping more than half of the shopping bags I was holding. He chuckled and watched me fail.

"Let me." He said and dropped my phone into my shoulder bag. He then proceeded to pick up all of the bags I had dropped, then took some more from me.

"No honestly I'm fine-" I said but he cut me off by laughing.

"Trust me it'll be easier if I help!" He said, and I shook my head at the floor and started walking the short distance back to the house.

We chatted for a bit and I learnt his name, Aaron if you must know, and slowly made our way through the streets back home. We stopped as we reached the front door.

"Thank you so much, I don't think I would have made it back without you." I giggled and placed one of the bags down to open the door. I pushed open the door and heard a chorus of 'HELLO!'s and started laughing as I heard the pounding of their feet coming towards us. I looked back at Aaron, who had a very confused look on his face. I just grinned and felt five pairs of arms wrap around me.

"ARE THESE ALL FOR ME?" I heard Max say in a very camp voice.

"No!" I squealed and shoved them all off. "They for all of you."

"Who's this?" Siva winked at me as he spotted Aaron lurking outside.

"Aaron. And you guys need to get a higher door frame, I have to duck to get through!" He chuckled and came into the house.

"How tall are you?" Nathan raised an eyebrow.

"How old are you?" Tom questioned.

"How and where did you meet?" Jay asked, while taking the bags off me and placing them down on the dinner table.

Aaron just laughed and put the bags he was carrying down next to the others. "I'm 6'7, almost 23 years old and we met outside Starbucks, she forgot her phone on the seat so I ran after her and gave it to her, then she seemed to be struggling carrying all these presents home, so I said I would help."

"Basically, yeah." I shrugged and walked over to where the presents were placed.

"I'll see you 'round, yeah?" Aaron turned to me and placed both his hands on my shoulders. I nodded and he handed me his phone. I punched in my number and saved it, then placed it back in the palm of his hand. He smiled, waved, and jogged out the doorway. After a few awkward moments, everyone scattered and walked off to do their own thing. I turned around to walk up the stairs, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whizzed around and met Nathan's bright eyes.

"You alright Nath?" I asked and tilted my head to one side.

"Yeah...I...can I talk to you for a sec?" He said quietly and lead me to the corner of the kitchen.
