In a Parallel World - The Story of Dan and Phil

Chapter 2: Saviour of Phil

Chapter 2:

"Am I dead?" Phil wondered to himself. He didn't dare to open his eyes as he felt the strong breeze of the London air on his face. "Surely I can't be alive? I fell in the river." Phil thought. "Excuse me. Would you mind opening your eyes and helping me out here? Or I swear I will drop you" Phil heard a voice next to his face and opened his eyes. Upon looking up, he saw a boy with dark brown hair and a fringe that went diagonally down the right of his forehead. He was wearing a black t shirt and black skinny jeans. "I'm actually being serious." Said the boy. "Sorry" Phil gasped, as he helped the boy pull him up back onto the bridge. "I don't know how anyone could be so stupid as to just let themselves fall off a bridge! Do you have a death wish or something?!" It was too much for Phil to take in and despite him being over 25, he burst into tears like a child. "Hey I'm sorry. It's just, you really had me worried there. Tell me your name." "It's P-Phil...Phil Lester..." said Phil in between stifled sobs. "Hello there Phil. My name is Dan. Dan Howell. You had a lucky escape there. It's normally me who has the near death experiences." Joked Dan. "D-Dan. Thank you. You saved my life... How can I repay you? You nearly died yourself saving me." Asked Phil. And in reply, Dan said "Right now? I could really do with a coffee."
