Things We Lost To The FlΔmes (BΔSTILLE fanfic)

The NightmΔre

I ran to my next class, realising that Mr Wood had kept me behind a few minutes. I knocked on the door and entered slowly.

"Uh, hi, I'm uh, Lily" I said awkwardly as the teacher looked at me.

"Ah, yes, please take a seat at the back of the class, next to Robbie." She pointed to Robbie. "Welcome to Maths, I'm Mrs Gibson" she smiled, showing her laughter lines.

"Uh, okay, thanks" I smiled awkwardly and walked to the back of the classroom and sat down next to Robbie.

"Lily?" Mrs Gibson asked and my head snapped up.

"If you're struggling, ask me or Robbie, he's one of our smartest students" she smiled.

"Okay, thanks, miss" I smiled looking at Robbie who grimaced at the mention of his smartness. "One of our smartest students" I whispered to Robbie, nudging him gently with my elbow.

"Shut up" he laughed quietly.

I turned my attention to the teacher, who was scribbling something down onto the board.


*********************************


The rest of the day went by pretty quickly and I had most of my lessons with either Robbie or Kate. The ones I didn't, I sat awkwardly scribbling words down into my book. I stared at the ticking clock, as it's large hand approached 3 o'clock. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1. The bell rang and I hopped up from my seat, shoving my new books into my bag. Everyone departed from the classroom and I sighed as I walked towards the school gates. I jumped when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I spun around to see Robbie with his hand on my shoulder.

"Sorry" he laughed.

"Uh, no problem" I laughed.

He dropped his hand from my shoulder and opened his mouth to speak.

"Uh, so listen, Lily, um, I was wondering, uh, if you'd like to-" he was cut off by someone shouting my name.

I turned around to see Dan waving at me from the gate. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Robbie.

"Sorry Robbie, I've got to go, see you tomorrow" I smiled and ran off towards Dan.

"Hey!" Dan laughed as I hugged him. "How was your first day?" He asked pulling away.

"Scary" I giggled.

"Who-who was your friend over there?" He asked as his eyes flickered to behind me.

"Oh, uh, Robbie, he's kind of that friend who the teachers put you next to because they're really brainy and you're just stupid" I sighed.

"What? You're not stupid" he laughed as he patted my head, the way Kyle does.

"You've been spending too much time with Kyle" I giggled.

Dan laughed. "So, do you, uh, like this Robbie?" Dan asked awkwardly.

"I don't know, I don't know him, really" I admitted awkwardly.

"Oh, okay" Dan smiled and entwined his fingers into mine.

We walked out of the school and towards Dan's car. We climbed in and Dan started the engine. As we drove back to the flat, my thoughts wandered to what Robbie had said earlier, or what he was going to say. He said it awkwardly, and shyly, like he was going to... Oh my god. He was going to ask me out! No, he wasn't, why would he, has he seen me? I'm just an ugly nobody. I bet he just wanted to use me to get to Bastille, like Will did. I shook my head at an attempt to shake these thoughts out of my head. He wasn't going to ask me out. Why would he?

"You okay Lil?" Dan asked turning his head to look at me.

"What? Uh, yeah" I said nervously, had I said something out loud that I shouldn't have? God I hope not.

"Okay" Dan smiled and looked back at the road.

He pulled into the car park and parked his car in his space. We hopped out of the car and walked into the building. The journey up the lift was silent and slightly awkward. When we got into the flat I sighed and slumped onto the sofa. Dan laughed and slumped next to me.

"So, what did you do today?" Dan asked as he turned to face me.

"Nothing much, most of the time I just sat there wondering what the hell was going on, because I've not been to a school in ages, I'm not that smart and I was just like ahh, sorry, I'm rambling" I giggled as my eyes locked with Dan's.

"You are smart!" Dan laughed.

"Dan, no I'm not" I said seriously.

"Well, it doesn't matter if your smart or not, I still love you anyway" he smiled and hugged me.

"Love you too Dan" I smiled and buried my head into his shoulder. "You're the best adopted dad ever" I whispered.

When he pulled away I looked down. My face was embarrassingly red and if I looked into Dan's amazingly beautiful eyes, I'd just melt. He has told me he loves me a few times, and each time heart melts.

"You hungry?" Dan said and I looked up.

"Yes please, the canteen food is vile" I shivered and Dan pulled me up from the sofa.

"I can make you lunches if you'd like" he smiled.

"No, it's fine" I laughed.

He pulled some bread out of the cupboard and some Nutella. I handed him a knife and he smothered the bread with the delicious Nutella. He pressed the two pieces of bread together and put them on a plate. He handed it to me and made one for himself. As he was finishing making his sandwich, I walked over to the sofa and turned the TV on. Dan joined me on the sofa as I flicked through the channels, eventually settling for How I Met Your Mother.


*******************************


A knock on the door made me jump. Dan got up from the sofa laughing and opened the door. I turned around to see who our intruder was. I stood up to greet crazy cat man Kyle.

"Hey Lilypad! How was school!" Kyle hugged me and lifted me up in his arms.

"Scary" I giggled as he put me on my feet.

"I'm sure it wasn't that bad" he laughed.

"It was okay, apart from the fact that everyone stared at me and some fangirled over me because of you guys." I laughed.

"You're welcome!" He shouted as he ran over to the sofa and jumped on it.

Dan and I laughed and joined him on the sofa.

"Have any homework?" Dan asked.

"Oh, yeah, actually I have some English, can you help, I have no idea what I need to do" I asked as I walked over to my school bag.

"Sure, did you know I have a degree in Engl-" Dan started to brag but I cut him off and joined him on the sofa, putting my English book on the table.

"I know" I cut him off, laughing. "So, I have to write a paragraph on this, but I don't know what this is" I explained, pointing to some words scribbled onto he page.

Dan explained to me what it was and he and Kyle helped me. Mainly Dan helped, but Kyle tried his best. I finished it in just under half an hour. I stuffed my book back into my bag and changed it to my pyjamas. I rejoined Kyle and Dan on the sofa, dragging a blanket behind me. I slotted in between them and draped the blanket over me. They both lifted the edges and slipped underneath it. Dan put a Harry Potter on and we sat there in a huddle watching it. I rested my head on Dan's shoulder and he put his arm over my shoulders. I jumped when Kyle put his arm behind my back and put his head on my shoulder. He laughed at my reaction and we sat in silence watching the film.


*************************************


The credits came up on Dan's large TV and we began to stir. I stretched my arms out and yawned. I looked at he clock and sighed. It was 10:30pm. I needed to go to bed. I stood up, tearing the blanket away from Dan and Kyle.

"I need to go to bed now, night guys" I hugged them both and trudged to my room.

I slipped under the covers and closed my eyes. I could hear Dan and Kyle talking in the living room. I tried to ignore them but eventually I tuned my ears so I could hear them.

"Dan, do you mind if I stay here tonight, I'm too tired to drive home" Kyle asked.

"Sure, I'll grab some pillows." I heard some moving around and a door open.

A moment later I heard a door close again and the voices started again.

"Thanks" Kyle said.

"If you need anything else, you know where it is" Dan said.

I heard some shuffling around and a door open and close. I felt myself slowly slipping io unconsciousness so I snuggled into my duvet and eventually slipped into the darkness.


*************************************


I yawned and sat up. Light poured in from behind the curtains. I flung my feet out the side of the bed and opened the curtains and let the warmth from the sun soak into my skin. I walked out of my room and looked around. Kyle wasn't on the sofa where he'd fallen asleep last night. Usually Dan would be up before me, but I couldn't see him. I walked slowly into his room and it was empty.

"Dan?" I called out into the flat. " Kyle?"

No reply.

"Guys? Are you here? If you're trying to scare me, it worked, I'm so scared," I said sarcastically. "Now come out, seriously"

I heard heavy footsteps from behind me and sighed, they were here after all. I turned around and gasped. Mrs Duncan was standing in the middle of the room. My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest and a sick feeling came into my stomach.

"Dan and Kyle are not here" she said. Her voice made me want to throw up.

"What do you want? Where are Dan and Kyle?" I asked with as much confidence as I had. Which wasn't much.

"I've come to bring you back. Lily, you're an orphan. You belong in an orphanage." She said stepping closer to me.

"I'm not an orphan, I've got Dan, and I've never lived in an orphanage. I have only lived in the c-care home with y-you" I stuttered.

"News flash. Everyone in your family is dead. No one cares for you. You're hated by everyone." She spat.

I suddenly had an outburst of courage. "Dan cares for me! He loves me! So does Kyle! And Woody and Will! They care for me! They won't let you take me away!" I shouted.

"Wrong. They cared, past tense." She had an evil grin on her face.

My eyes flickered down to her hands, which were stained red. She was holding four things. She raised her hands to show me what she was holding. She was holding four hearts.

"NO!!" I screamed and collapsed onto the floor. "Please no" I sobbed into my hands.

"Oops" Mrs Duncan said sarcastically.

I angrily stood up and followed the path of blood that was behind her. It lead into the music room. I walked inside and screamed. There was blood splatted on the walls, on the instruments, everywhere. I noticed a body lying face down on Dan's piano. I saw a mound of brown, bloodstained hair on the body and realised it was Dan.

"DAN! NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM!" I screamed running over to his unconscious body.

He had a hole in his chest where the she devil had ripped his soft heart out. I lifted him with great effort and hugged his lifeless body to my chest.

"No, no, please, Dan no" I cried. "NO!! DAN!" I screamed.


************************************


I gasped and sat up. Someone was violently shaking me. I opened my eyes to see two figures in the darkness. My eyes adjusted and saw Dan and Kyle.

"Lily, are you okay?" Dan asked worriedly.

"What? Dan? You're okay? Kyle? I-I thought-" I burst into tears.

"Oh Lily! Sweetie, it's okay, it was just a dream" Dan said as he held me in his warm arms.

"I thought-oh my god, I'm so glad you're okay" I cried and held my arm out for Kyle to join the hug.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around me and Dan. I cried into his shoulder as they both rubbed my back. I began to calm down and the tears stopped flowing. They both pulled away and stared worriedly at me.

"Lily, what happened? I heard you screaming and ran in here, so did Kyle" Dan asked worriedly.

"I-I- it felt so real" more tears spilled from my eyes. "Mrs Duncan was here and she was holding four hearts, your hearts and Will's and Woody's. I found you in the music room and there was blood everywhere and-and you were dead and-and...she said that no one cares of me" I trailed off and cried harder.

"Shh, it's okay, it's okay" Dan soothed as he wrapped his arms around me again. "I care, we all care. Don't ever forget that okay?" Dan whispered into my ear and I nodded.

"Come on Lilypad, go back to sleep, everything's okay, me and Dan are here for you" Kyle said sweetly as I pulled away from Dan.

"Okay" I sighed and wiped the tears from my face.

"Goodnight" they both said and in turn they kissed my head and hugged me.

Dan was about to close the door when I spoke and stopped him.

"Dan?" I asked timidly.

"Yeah?" He replied turning around to face me.

"C-can I come in with you?" I asked shyly.

"Oh! Yes, of course, come here" he smiled and held his arms out for me.

I climbed out of bed and ran into Dan's arms. He lead me to his room and we slipped under the covers. He stared at the ceiling and I stared at him. He turned his head and smiled at me. I smiled shyly back. He turned over so that he was facing me and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer. I buried my head into his chest and closed my eyes.

"Goodnight Lil" Dan whispered.

"Goodnight Dan" I whispered back.

I fell asleep to the soothing sound of Dan's light breathing.
