Part One
Y/N POV
I'm standing outside the gate of the airplane, eager to come aboard as quickly as possible, i did not want to stay in this country a minute longer, my mum stood beside me and she had tears in her eyes " I just can´t understand, why you must move all the way to London of all places" I sighed a bit and answered her "I told you mum, to get a fresh start and London is one of the best places to do that" she dried her tears almost pleaded "If just you and Jonathan could work things out then I'm sure everything will be better…". I snapped at my mum, "No mum, there is nothing to work on" immediately regretting that I snapped when i saw her sad reaction "I'm sorry mum, it's just that I did not want to be with him anymore… I just wasn't happy" I said knowing that I was kinda lying through my teeth. It wasn't that I was just unhappy in my relationship with Jonathan it was way more than that, what my mum did not know was that Jonathan had used me as a punching bag for several years and cheated on me on numerous occasions, but I did not want to burden my mum with all that because when my dad died she had become more and more fragile.
The turning point in mine and Jonathan´s relationship were when he almost beat me to a pulp of blood and I ran to my sisters house and stayed there without him knowing for about 4 months and got my sister and her husband to get all my stuff which was mostly sketches and clothes he has ripped apart but they were able to save some sketches that I had hid behind a cupboard.
They called out in the speakers that my flight was ready to board and i turned to my mum and gave her a big hug and said " I love you mum, but I need to do this for me and it's not like you'll never gonna see me again, I´ll be home for and christmas and all the other highlights" she looked at me and tried to smile "I know sweetie, I love you too but I will miss you terribly" i gave her a last hug and then grabbed my hand luggage and boarded the plane with a clump of tears in my throat.
I got on the plane and sat down by the window and after a while I closed my eyes and somehow having Ed Sheerans calming music in my headphones I immediately fell asleep and leaving Sweden behind me.
The move went pretty smoothly, not that I had that much to move to the new flat just a couple of paintings and art supplies I had been able to save, better head to Ikea or something similar soon, I had some money after inheriting after my gran died but they wouldn't last forever, I sat down in my temporary folding bed with my laptop and started to browse for job, after a couple of hours I suddenly felt my tummy rumbling and started to search after locale pizzerias and found one just round the corner. I grabbed my leather jacket and headed out
As I came back with my pizza and soda I noticed a tall, gangly, brown haired guy with black clothes and his back to me just outside of the doorway to my new building playing on his mobile phone, recognizing how he moved he clearly played Pokemon Go. I went up to him and said "Catching any good Pokemon? As he turned around my eyes widen, I knew those brown eyes from anywhere, it was Dan-freaking-Howell. His and Phil´s videos had always gotten me in a better mood those days when Jonathan was a total dick to me.
" I just captured a Porygon, I've literally never seen them here before actually" he said and looked directly into my eyes, he was even cuter in real life, if that's even possible I thought to myself. "you already got one? he asked me" I got flung back into reality "wha.. me? no, not yet" I blurted out, he smiled at me "then maybe you should capture it before it's gone?" I fumbled with my mobile phone and got to start the phone and luckily the Porygon was still there and I captured it easily.
I looked up from my phone and saw Dan smiling " I'm Dan by the way" he said, "I know.. I mean I kinda know… I´ve seen your videos on Youtube" I blurted out and feeling how much I was blushing. He gave me a crooked smile and said "ah you´re an subscriber?" "Yeah, my name is Y/N I just moved here to get a new start" I heard myself say in a bubbly voice and I wanted to punch myself for being such an idiot "Oh well welcome to London Y/N, I hope you like it" I didn't know what more to say so I just said "Thanks, um I should get inside now and eat my food, but it was really nice to meet you" Dan cleared his throat "Yeah I should get going, i´m meeting some friends, bye Y/N" "Bye" I said and as I got inside of my flat I finally breathed, I had met Dan Howell and he was my neighbor, maybe this "new start thing" wasn't such a bad thing even if I might have made a complete ass of myself in front of him.
