Phil’s POV
After a full day of shopping and filming, we decided to head back to the flat. When we got back, I made some hot chocolate and decided to do my liveshow. It was fun and everyone was in a pretty good mood. “Ah, here’s a good question!” I announced, reading one. “Phil, are you and Aubrey getting married? Well, we’d have to get engaged first and uh, let me see. Guys, check, is she online? No? Good. Okay, look. Here’s the ring. How’d I do?” I asked.
Everyone began to freak out and tell me that I’d done a great job and that she was going to love it. I wrapped up the liveshow and decided to play video games for a while. After that, I called Aubrey and had her come over to hang out. I felt that Haylee might need some company other than just Dan and I. “Hey love.” I greeted her with a kiss as she came in a little while later. “Haylee is in her room. I think she might need your company right now. She’s not doing so well.”
“What happened?” Aubrey asked, furrowing her brow. She looked gorgeous today, with her raven black hair pulled into a low bun. She had her glasses on today and she was dressed down, just wearing sweats, but to me it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
“She had a…episode last night and things got bad again.” I explained.
“Oh, is she alright?!” Aubrey questioned urgently.
“Yeah, she’s alright love. I just think it would be good for her to have some company other than Dan and me.” I replied. Aubrey nodded and headed down to Haylee’s room.
Aubrey’s POV
I opened the door to Haylee’s room and slipped in quietly. “Haylee?” I whispered. Haylee looked up from the book she was reading on her bed.
“Aubrey!” She cried, jumping off of the bed and running to me. She threw her arms around me in a hug and held on for dear life.
“Whoa! Hi, Hays.” I greeted. “How are you?”
Haylee pulled away and sat down on the edge of her bed. “I cut again,” she sighed. “I can’t do this anymore, Brey. It’s hurting Dan and Phil to see me like this. I don’t even know if I can go on living here.”
“What?! But Dan and Phil love having you here! They are so happy that you agreed! Hays, please, they need you as much as you need them. Sure, Phil has me, but you’re like his sister! If you left, Dan would be crushed and so would Phil. Do you honestly think they’d let you just go? You know Dan would follow you and convince you to come back even if it killed him. He loves you with all his heart.” I told her. Haylee just shook her head.
“No. I love him too, but I’m hurting him by being here. I’ll stay for a while longer. But after the first of the year, I’ll leave one way or another.” She determined. Fear gripped me, hoping she wasn’t going to kill herself. I reminded myself to tell Phil or Dan what she’d said and to tell them to keep an eye on her.
