"Don't you dare leave me!" You shouted, Dan was holding a duffle bag filled with all of his things, threatening to leave. Tears were stinging your bloodshot eyes and you were sick of arguing.

"Watch me!" He shouted back, running towards the front door, he gave you one last glance before slamming the door shut.

You ran to your room and broke down. You wanted to scream, cry and vomit at the same time. Balled up on the floor, your whole being craved to hear Dan's voice again, to feel his touch, to see his gorgeous brown eyes one last time.

He had never seriously left before, the only reason you were arguing is because you came home from work late and he was worried about you.

You reached for the only thing that could releive your pain, but saw the butterfly that Dan drew still on your wrist. You cried even more, remembering how he had trusted you when you told him you were trying to stop. He drew the butterfly to encourage you more, and it was working. Until today that is.

You screamed out of frustration, not wanting to break your promise to Dan. He told you that he would let you keep the blade but only if you didn't use it. It was only there to comfort you.

"I can't do this" You whispered to yourself. You wrote a quick note and ran to the bathroom, grabbing random pills and taking four. You blacked out shortly after. So this is what the end was like.

______________

You slowly opened your eyes, faced with the sight of the bathroom celing. You could hear crying and muffled words coming from the living room, but you couldn't tell what they were saying.

"Ugh" you said, sitting up with a pounding headache, the whole room was spinning so you decided to stay sat down for a bit. The crying continued and then you heard footsteps, the crying getting louder as the footsteps got louder.

You were sat on the floor with your head in your hands, the pain was excruciating and light just made it worse. The footsteps stopped.

"Oh thank god" he sniffled and ran to your side, embracing you tightly.

"I- I don't understand" You spoke quietly. "I thought you were gone..." tears started to stream down your face just as they had earlier.

"I would never leave you. I didn't mean what I said- any of it. I came back and you were on the floor"

"Why didn't you take me to the hospital?" As much as you didn't want to be in a hospital bed, you knew how Dan was. If you were the slightest bit ill you would be over at the doctors, or even the hospital in no time.

"I just came back now, I called Phil then checked on you again and you were. Well... Awake" He dropped his arms from your body and looked into your eyes. "I love you (Y/N) and I'll never leave again"

"Never?"

"Never"
