Edit That Bit Out

Chapter Two

The next morning when I woke up Dan was already up so I was alone in his room. Sleepily I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen where Dan was fixing himself a bowl of cereal. "Morning, Philip", he said. "Morning", I responded. After getting myself cereal, and Dan getting mad at me for eating his again, we went into the lounge to watch more anime. A few episodes later Dan left to go get himself ready for the day and I figured it was time to upload the video. I went into the office to upload, "New Video Uploading :D!!!!!" I tweeted. The video was going to take a while to upload so I decided to go get ready myself. "Hey, Phil," Dan called, "do you wanna go out to lunch?" "Sure!", I yelled back to him. I went into my room and grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans and a t-shirt and threw them on. Dan and I walked out of the flat and started walking to the metro. "Where do you want to go?" I asked him. He thought for a moment, "Hmmm...let's just walk around for a little bit and then we can pick somewhere. Okay?" "Okay."

We walked around for a while looking around in the shops occasionally buying something we don't really need but we just really wanted. Finally we settled on a place to eat. We got seated and ordered our food, while we were waiting we both ended up on our phones taking advantage of the restaurant's free wifi. I went onto twitter to see if our fans had enjoyed the new video. The second I saw all of the tweets my heart dropped. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach and had no desire to eat. I must have looked upset because Dan looked at me and said "Phil, what's wrong?" in a concerned voice. I shook my head, unable to say anything. "Phil. Talk to me. We can get through this if you just tell me what's wrong." "I...I didn't...can we just go home?" my voice shaking as I tried to talk to him. "Uh. Sure...", he stood up and we walked out of the restaurant before eating anything. The whole way home I didn't say anything to Dan. My hands shook uncontrollably. Dan looked concerned but didn't say anything either. The second we got back to the flat I sprinted up to my room. "Phil!", Dan called after me, "PHIL! You have to tell me what's wrong! Please! I want to help you!" I heard him run up the stairs and he opened my door and came into my room. He sat down next to me and held my hand. I was trying so hard not to cry, I didn't want Dan to see me cry. I looked up at him and right into his beautiful brown eyes. I sighed, I knew I had to tell him at some point. He would find out the second he went onto just about any social media. "I spent several hours last night editing that video..." I started, "and I made sure to take out any parts that I knew didn't need to be in the video like usual." I don't know how to say this to him. I'm terrified he's going to get mad at me. But maybe he'll be okay with it. I guess I'm just going to have to say this to him and hope for the best. "Bear, I'm so sorry. I guess I forgot to take out the part at the beginning where...where you kissed me and-" He cut me off "PHIL! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT??" Dan yelled. "I'm sorry! I thought I took it out! I wouldn't have uploaded it if I had known it was still in there!!" I tried to apologize. "NO! HOW COULD YOU HAVE BEEN SO CARELESS, PHIL?!" He stood up. I stood up too, I had to make this okay. "Dan, please. I didn't mean to. I'm going to delete the video-"

"That's not going to fix anything. Loads of people have seen it. It's probably all over the internet now." He walked over to the door. "No, Dan, please. I'm sorry!" I yelled. He opened the door and stormed out slamming it behind him. "I'm sorry..." I whispered.
