Dan's POV

I woke up to the morning sunlight streaming through my window. I realized that I had my arms wrapped around someone, and I quickly remembered that (Y/N) had been released yesterday, and said that she wanted me to be her girlfriend. I smiled, and snuggled into the crook between her neck and shoulder.

I carefully slipped my arm out from under her so I wouldn't wake her. I rolled over and grabbed my phone from my bedside table to check the time.

8:36.

I guess even though she's back and safe and I don't have to worry about her too much anymore, it takes a bit for insomnia to really go away, I thought.

I decided to go ahead and get up, so I grabbed an outfit for today and walked to my bathroom. I turned the shower on and then brushed my teeth.

After I'd gotten dressed and straightened my hair, I went and checked on (Y/N). She was still sleeping, and I don't blame her because she hasn't slept in an actual bed for a long time now. I smiled at how cute she looked.

I quietly closed my bedroom door and went downstairs to make her and I some breakfast. I was in the middle of making some DELIA SMITH pancakes when my phone started to ring. I answered it without checking the caller ID.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey! I just wanted to tell you that the plane's landed and I'm heading to the tube to come home. I'll be there in like 2 hours," Phil said.

"Oh my god, hi! I totally forgot you were coming home today. I've had a crazy couple of weeks without you. How was Florida with the family?"

"Warm and free 'cause America," he laughed. "And what do you mean, 'crazy couple of weeks'? You haven't called or texted or anything."

"Yeah, to be honest, I didn't wanna pay for the long distance, other country fee thing, and I've been at the hospital as much as possible. I have great news about that by the way. (Y/N) finally woke up, AND she was released yesterday, AND she's my girlfriend now!"

Your POV

"...AND she's my girlfriend now!" I heard someone say quite excitedly.

I opened my eyes and looked around. Everything was white. The walls. The ceiling. The Curtains. The sheets that were over me.

Then I registered the beeping of the heart monitor. I'm in a hospital. No one else was in the room.

How long have I been here?

What's the date?

Why am I still alive?

Who even found me in time to save my pitiful life?

What was that dream all about?

Who even IS Dan?

Those were the questions I was asking myself and trying to answer on my own.

I know that some of the things in that dream were true. I remember that I'd hanged myself in my flat's living room. I remember my mom telling me to kill myself. I know that I never wrote a suicide note though, because I didn't expect anyone to find me before I was already long gone and no one would miss me anyways. I remember the kid who smiled at me in school. I remember he wouldn't give in to Josh and Kayla. I never knew his name though, so where on Earth did I get Dan from? I mean, I know he's a famous YouTuber that I'm TOTALLY NOT obsessed with...okay maybe just a bit...or a lot.

While I was lost in thought, a nurse walked in.

"Good to see you awake Miss (Y/L/N). I'm Nurse Roberts and I've been taking care of you while you've been here. And I'm sure you have a lot of questions, and I'll gladly answer them for you as soon as I've checked your vitals over.

I nodded as she looked at her clipboard and then she started giving me a check up sorta...? I don't know. She kept writing stuff down and I wanted to know what, but I was more concerned with why I was even here.

"Okay, your vitals look good and stable, but we'll still need to keep you here for at least another week and have you talk to our psychiatrist, and we'll release you when we feel that it's an acceptable time for you. As I said earlier, I'm sure you have questions, so go ahead and ask away," she said cheerfully.

"Ummm, what happened? Like, who found me and what happened after I got here and if it's been awhile, what's the date and time?" I asked all at once.

"Well, all I know about the person who found you and called for an ambulance, is that It was a young male who claimed to be your friend. A very HOT friend I might add," she said and giggled.

Friend? I thought. I don't have any friends.

"As for what's been going on with you here, you've been in a coma for the last year as of tomorrow. It's currently 11:42 on December 24th, so it's Christmas Eve.

A whole YEAR? Wow. Now that I think about it, I DO remember calling my mom to wish her a merry Christmas, and then she just blew up on me and told me to kill myself...

"Has anyone come to visit me? I'm curious since no one's here except you and me..." I trailed off.

As far as I know, since I've only been your nurse for about 4 months since your previous one had retired, no, I haven't seen anyone come visit you, I'm sorry," she answered, giving me an apologetic smile.

"Oh," was all I could manage to reply.

"Oh well look at that," she said. "It's midnight. I suggest you get some sleep now. Merry Christmas."

"Yeah, merry Christmas," I replied quietly as she walked out of the room.

But I couldn't sleep. There were probably a million thoughts racing around in my head.

A whole year. And NO one has come to visit me? People REALLY care about me don't they?

I sighed.

But who was it that found me? How did he, whoever HE is, even get into my flat?

After probably an hour of staring at the ceiling and thinking, I finally drifted off into an uneasy slumber.  

A/N: Hey guys! I know that this update is SOOOOOO overdue, and I'm deeply sorry about that :/ I had been busy with finals and End of Course Exams at the end of the second semester and I've been busy since school let out with birthdays and stuff, so I didn't have much time to write. But hopefully updates will be coming more often as things have FINALLY slowed down for me and I can relax a little :)

Also, I'm sorry if me making the first several chapters all a dream made you mad haha, but I had re-read the story since it'd been awhile so I could write this chapter, but as I read it, I really didn't like how I'd written it. Like, I REALLY didn't create any character relationships whatsoever, I just kinda rushed everyone into a relationship. SOOO, instead of disappointing everyone and discontinuing the story, I figured it's better to just make everyone a little mad in order to keep the story going, and hopefully my writing will be better as I let the story unfold this time.

Also, I'm considering starting a Markiplier x reader fanfic as well, so don't be surprised if when I start writing it, updates will be a little slower as I try to update both. But DON'T WORRY, JUST BECAUSE I'M PROBABLY GOING TO BE WRITING ANOTHER FANFIC NOW, DOESN'T MEAN I'M GONNA JUST HANG THIS ONE TO DRY OKAY? Okay. :)

Thanks for taking the time to read this btw, it means a lot. And as always, I will see YOU, in the next chapter. BUH-BYE!

heehee, see what I did there? *smirks*
