Unexpected - A Dan Howell series

Unexpected - Part 7

Thursday has been and gone, I felt so uncomfortable going to that appointment. I found out at the time that i was 4 weeks pregnant and that everything appeared to be normal. But it really sank in at that moment i saw the screen. I was having a baby, oh my god. I went home that evening and i started to panic, worse than I had been when i found out, and Dan, *Sigh* I've been blowing him off, keeping my distance, and it's starting to take its toll on him, I know it, because I know him too well. I just don't know how to tell him.

It's been 4 weeks since that day, now making me 8 weeks pregnant, and I was going to start showing soon, I started to wear bigger sizes and baggier clothing to try and hide the pregnancy for as long as I could. I laid in bed early this morning, not wanting to get out, but I knew that I couldn't keep putting things off, I mean, i had grocery shopping to do. That was a big one considering that I had eaten almost everything in the house. I got a knock on the door and groaned as I tried to pull myself up. I quickly threw a robe around myself and answered the door and not to my surprise, there was Dan, except this time he didn't look pleased to see me.

Dan burst through the door, pretty much pushing his way past me and just glared at me as I awkwardly stood there with my hands in front of my stomach.

"(Y/n) , you and I need to talk"

"What's up Dan?"

"You keep blowing me off, avoiding me, leaving me alone when i'm here. I don't know what it is but ever since we slept together our friend ship hasn't been right, and honestly I can't keep doing this. I can't keep waiting around waiting for the normal to come back, that's even if it does. I'm tired of blowing off plans to do things with you, when you aren't even interested. I can't keep working on a friendship when you won't put any effort into it either. I'm done. Goodbye (Y/n)."

Dan at that point stormed out of my apartment. I tried to yell after him but it was no use, he simply just wasn't listening. I walked into my apartment and closed the door. I laid my back against it and slid down with tears cascading from the corners of my eyes. I knew my hormones were going crazy at this point, but I just couldn't control the crying. It was like god damn Niagara falls all over again. Dan was gone. He was the one I needed the most in this situation, he was the father of my baby, and now he wanted nothing to do with me.

I placed my hands on my stomach, and rubbed it gently. letting my baby know that I was here. I'd always be here for him or her, even if there was no father in the picture. I'd still do all I could for it.

after getting all my tears out, I got up and grabbed my phone, I dialed Dan's number, but it kept going to voice mail. Again and again I tried, for a few hours, when eventually, and I mean eventually he gave in, but it wasn't the words I wanted to hear.

"(Y/n), leave me alone, I told you I was done"

And then he hung up. I truly was alone in this now.
