Chapter 3: Daniel x Reader
WARNING!!! Sensitive subjects like cutting, anorexia, suicide. BE WARNED.
Your POV
I feel empty. Like there is something inside of me that died a long time ago. I keep up the front for my friends, my family, but when I'm alone... That's a whole other story. Lets just say there is a reason for the long sleeves, other than fashion
My twin brother, Matt, called me today and asked me if I wanted to visit. Since moving to LA, I've been alone. It would be nice to get out of my head for a while. I said yes.
"Hey, Matt, are you there?" I call into the house, pulling my sleeves down. "(Y/N)! I can't believe you're here!!" He hugs me tight and I try not to wince as he puts pressure on my cuts.
"Hey Matt! I'm so glad that I get to see you." I say. "Hey, come in, I want you to meet my friends and roommates. "
I nod and follow him into their living room, where three guys were playing a heated game of Mario Kart.
"Hey guys, this is my sister, (Y/N)." Matt says. I look at them each individually. The last one makes me physically stop.
Daniel's POV
We are in the middle of a round of Mario Kart when the door bell rings. "Oh, that must be my sister (Y/N)! I'll get it!" Matt says, getting up and going to the door.
"Hey, are you there?" A girls voice says. "(Y/N) I can't believe that you're here!" Matt says. I'm still staring at the screen when she comes in.
"Hey guys, this is my sister, (Y/N)" Matt says. I pause the game and look at her. I blink a couple of times and open my eyes wide. She was beautiful.
Your POV
He is gorgeous. I can't stop staring at him. "This is Mark." Matt says and I peal my eyes away to see a really muscly guy with black hair. "Hi."
"This is Ryan" Matt says, referring to the guy with brown hair and a beard. "Hello." Pointing to the other guy, he says "this is Daniel."
"Hey." I say, smiling and blushing. "Hi." Mark sits down on the couch. "Do you want to play with us?" I nod. "Sure. I'm really good at it."
I pick up a remote and Mark starts the game. It quickly becomes clear that I wasn't lying when I said I was good.
"You've got to be kidding me." Mark says after i win 8 games in a row. "I told you." I said laughing at him.
"Hey, do you still play guitar?" Matt asks. "Of course!" I say. "Daniel plays too." Ryan says. I smile at Daniel. "That's so cool!" I say.
He smiles at me and says, "Do you want to go upstairs and look at my guitars?" I smile. "Sure, why not?"
I follow him upstairs to his room. He has several guitars, and he hands me one.
It was beautiful. "Go ahead. Show me how good you are." Daniel says with a smile. "Okay." I say, sitting down on his bed.
Without thinking, I push up my sleeves, forgetting why I was wearing them in the first place. I begin to play the opening riff from "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi. I play through the song, singing softly.
When I'm done, I hand the guitar back to him. "Here." He is staring, but not at my face. He is staring at my arms. I push my sleeves down, but the damage has already been done.
"You self harm?" He asks, tears forming in his eyes. "Yeah, I do. My life... It's really hard, and try as I might, I'm not strong enough."
He takes the guitar out of my hands and we sit on the couch. "I couldn't believe it, when you came in that you were related to Matt. You are so beautiful. I know how you feel, I'm suicidal too."
I wrap my arms around him and pull him close. "Please don't do anything. You are the most beautiful person I have ever set eyes on. If you promise to get help, I will too."
He takes my hands and looks me in the eye. "I think I might be in love with you. Can I please kiss you?"
I laugh. "Of course." He leans in and kisses me. I feel the instant connection as i kiss him.
We pull apart for breath, both of us panting. "Do you want to go on a date?" He says. I nod "yes."
Daniels POV
I don't know what I would've done if she wasn't around. I love her.
