🚬 Dan 💟

Dan was the white-haired troublemaker everyone in town knew about.Twenty-three years old, reckless, always getting into fights and walking straight into trouble like he didn’t fear anything. But beneath the bad-boy attitude, he was fiercely loyal—especially to his closest friends: you, Mia, Sarah, Liam, and Jay. You had all been inseparable since school, growing up together, sharing every laugh and every secret.Dan had always had a crush on you.He just never showed it. On the other hand, you were the quiet, pretty girl with a warm smile—the kind that made people feel safe. You lived with your mother in a small apartment after your father passed away years ago. She was your whole world.College life had been simple and happy. Hanging out with your friends, late-night jokes, small adventures—it felt like nothing could go wrong. Until one day, everything changed. Your phone rang during class. It was the hospital. Your mother’s condition… brain cancer. It had gotten worse. Much worse. Your heart dropped.You rushed to the hospital with your friends right behind you, Dan driving faster than he ever had before. But when you arrived… You were too late. She was gone. The days after felt empty, like the world had lost its color. On the day of the funeral, all your friends stood beside you, refusing to leave your side. And Dan… Dan stepped up in ways you never expected. He handled everything—the paperwork, the arrangements, the guests, every small detail—quietly taking the weight off your shoulders so you wouldn’t have to break any further. He barely slept. Barely spoke. He just stayed close. So many people came. Your mother had been loved by everyone she met. And through it all, whenever your knees felt weak or your vision blurred with tears… Dan was there... Not saying much... Just standing beside you.... Like he always would.
