(Long) Dan Howell One Shot #1

I was on my way home when it happened. All in a matter of minutes, but it felt like forever. All I could hear was the pounding of my heart in my ears. All I could see was the navy blue Camaro speeding down the road, and the tall, brown haired boy crossing its path. I didn't think, just ran. I didn't know if I would get to him on time. I didn't have a chance to hope I was fast enough. And maybe I was, or maybe it was just the adrenaline rushing through me, but I somehow managed to reach the unknown boy. I quickly grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back, just before we got hit. We both fell backwards on the road, me having pulled him too hard. I push the initial pain and shock aside and quickly sat up to see if the boy was okay. My eyes widened as I realized to it was. He sat up, shock and fear clear in his eyes. He looked over at me, unsure of what just happened. staring at me with deep brown eyes, was none other then Dan Howell, a.k.a Danisnotonfire. Dan was one of my favourite YouTubers. I've watched all of his videos as well as Phil's. When I moved to England from my home country Canada, I always imagined how incredible it would be to meet him. I knew it wouldn't just happen out of the blue, but I still hoped. And now here I am, sitting on the road with the boy who always made me smile and laugh. The same boy who would've gotten hit by a car if I was just one second too late. I couldn't believe it.

"Are you okay?" I asked. He looked at me in shock and tried to speak.

"I-I-I-" he stuttered. Then we heard shouting.

"DAN?! OH MY GOD, DAN ARE YOU OKAY?!" someone shouted. We both turned our heads to see Phil Lester, a.k.a AmazingPhil, running towards us from the coffee shop, drinks forgotten. I looked back over to Dan, only to see a red liquid starting to run down the side of his face.

"Oh my god, you're bleeding!" I said, taking off my sky blue cardigan. I leaned toward him and carefully pressed it against his temple where the cut was. It was hard not to notice him flinch. By this point, Phil was kneeling next to Dan, frantically checking him for any more injuries.

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to pull you back so hard that you would hit your head. Oh my god, I'm so sorry." I said, on the verge of tears for hurting my favourite youtuber. I looked down, still pressing the cardigan to Dan's head, hopefully stopping the bleeding. Phil was looking at Dan, asking him what happened and if he was okay. Dan ignored him and cleared his throughout. I felt him put his hand over mine, pressing on the cardigan. I tried to pull my hand away but he wouldn't let me. Dan cleared his throughout again and I looked up, our eyes locking.

"Are you okay?" he asked, looking worried and concerned. I gave a humorless laugh.

"Am I okay? You nearly got hit by a car. If I had been a second too late, you could possibly be dead right now." they both flinched. "You're bleeding right now, and you want to know if I'm okay?" I finished with another laugh. Phil was sat there, looking back and forth between Dan and myself, not sure on what to do or say. I smiled at Dan.

"I'm fine," I said. "Are you okay? Are you going to pass out or something?" I asked, concern replacing the smile on my face. I tried pulling my hand away and this time he let me.

"No, I think I'll be fine," he said. "I'm just a little...shaken up." he started to get up off the ground. I quickly stood up and Phil and I helped Dan up an over to a nearby bench. Dan and Phil sat down as I pulled the cardigan away and threw it in the trash.
