Or so I thought~Phan

Chapter 4:Jessica

I'm sorry! On my iPod!
--------------

Phil's POV

As I mindlessly scrolled through Tumblr, I noticed the house seemed quiet. There was an empty feeling radiating throughout the flat, which most likely meant that Dan was out with... Jessica. She's such a- Okay Phil, don't crowd your mind with the horrid monster she is.

(Sorry if your name's Jessica ily!)

Now, I know that you probably think I'm just his jealous best friend, but you don't even know what she's like. I scrunched my face in disgust as I thought about her, it was
her and Dan's 6-month anniversary today. Their 6-months anniversary, and today is the day I dread the most.

Dan told me about what he was going to do today, the huge step in everyone's relationship. He was going to propose. Propose? To THAT? Seriously, she is rude. She yells at me, slaps me, punches me, calls me names that are certainly not PG-13. Well, she's an overall b***h.

Dan thinks she's perfect, the human form of perfection, I see her as another word that starts with a "P". *cough* *cough* prosti- *cough*.

My thoughts were interrupted by a very loud slamming of the door and broken and disheveled sobs ringing through the doorway. I rushed to my feet,"Oh god, Dan are you okay?" I asked frantically trying my best to help my bawling friend laying on the ground.

"Well obviously you're not okay, what happened? Never mind that just do you want some tea or something to help?" I rambled. What? I'm not exactly an expert in these situations.

"N-no Phil. stop worrying about me I'll be fine." Dan said, still slightly weeping. "Dan get up and come on the couch, we don't want the whole building to know what happened." I suggested, Dan nodded in agreement.

But, instead of going on the couch like I expected him to, he went straight into his room. I decided to leave him there, knowing by the dangerously loud sobs echoing through the house that he wanted to be alone in this moment in time.

As I started to make the tea, i couldn't help but stumble across the thought that this all had something to do with Jessica. I can't really think of any other reason for him to end up in this state.

Betraying my decision to leave him alone, I knocked on his door.

"Dan? Dan, love, do you want me to come in?" I asked softly. "Y-yes please," the boy on the other side answered. I opened the door to see someone crumpled on the bed with a red face and blood-shot puffy eyes. "Dan, what on Earth happened that made you like this?"Dan's whole face transformed into one of regret and disgust.

"That-that disgusting little- that little-"
"Jessica?" I finished. He nodded. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked him politely.

"Couldn't hurt, could it?" Dan asked, before continuing with the story.
"As everything started to go in place, as my plan had started to work, I proposed. And, positive that she would answer yes, I smiled huge. But then she said no. Jessica told me that she didn't love me after all and had just been with me for my looks. Turns out she cheated on me constantly and just isn't at all what I thought she was," he finished, fresh tears freely flowing down his face.

"Oh Dan," I said, pulling him for a hug. I know that all he needs right now is for someone to care, to make him feel like someone cares, unlike his terrible excuse for a girlfriend. "Thank you, Phil," Dan said. I was immediately confused. What did I do? "For what?" I questioned. "For being the best friend a guy could ask for."

I almost ended it there 😄

---TIME SKIP---
It's been about three days since the "incident" as we call it. Dan hasn't left his room, but I pass him a food and drink every now and then.

"Dan?"

I heard a grunt.

"Can we talk?"

"No."

"Can I talk?"

"No."

Eventually I gave up and walked off, tears brimming my eyes at the lack of interaction over the past few days.

Then I had the smartest yet stupidest idea in my life.

Tonight.

I was going to tell Dan Howell.

Tonight I was going to tell Dan Howell that I loved him.

"Dan," I said sternly.

"What do you want, Phil?" Annoyance leaked throughout every word he said.

"Open the door."

"What? Why?"

"Open. The door."

"It's unlocked, Phil. What's wrong?"

I walked in a took a breath. "Dan, there's something I need to tell you."
