Dan's pov~
Phil fell asleep on my shoulder. I smile down at him. I then get a feeling... I don't know what it is but it makes me feel warm inside... My heart is pumping and my stomach has butterflies. Is this because of Phil? No... It can't be, he's just my best friend.
End of Dan's pov~
Dan continues to watch TV. He watches for hours and doesn't realize the time. He looks at the time, "2:00am?! Holy shit!" He grabs the TV remote and turns it off. He carefully gets up laying Phil on the couch. He smiles once more at the sleeping Phil and leaves to his room.
Phil's pov~ (dream)
I'm in a forest. I'm all alone. I feel really dizzy and it's really dark. I call out for Dan but get no reply. "Dan? Dan are you there? Please someone? Dan help me please."
My legs give out and I fall but instead of hitting the ground, I fall into water. I'm under the water and I can't seem to feel the bottom or find my way to the top. Even though I'm in water, I'm able to breath...
The water is dark but the moonlight shines down onto someone in the water... It's Dan, he has a chain tied to his ankle and he is trying to swim towards me. He seems to be having trouble breathing... Louise, Pj, and Chris pop up and are also trying to help Dan. They pull and pull bit they can't seem to get his free. "Dan!" I scream. I try to swim towards him but can't seem to move from my spot. "Dan!" I scream once more. They all slowly start to fade away. "No! Dan! Louise! Pj! Chris! Please! Stay here! Help me!" I cry. I close my eyes but when I open them again I'm not underwater anymore. I'm home in our flat...
"Dan?" silence.. I ask once more, "Dan are you home?"
No one answers so I walk to his room. I knock on his closed door, "Dan? Are you in there?" I hear movement so I open the door. It's dark but I can see a figure sitting on the floor facing the wall in the corner of the room. "Dan is that you?" I ask.
The sound of chains followed by a soft and sad voice echos the room, "Don't look at me Phil..."
Confused I walk towards Dan and kneel next to him and ask, "Dan? What's wrong?"
"....my life is wrong Phil..I don't know who I am anymore..." he says. I look down at his ankle and see a chain tied to him. "Dan let me help you," I plead. I reach for the chain when he grabs my hand and turns his head to look at me. His eyes are red and his cheeks are full of tears. His hair is a mess and his big brown eyes are filled with terror. "No! Phil don't try to help me please... You'll get hurt.."
Confused I tilt my head. He just looks down and says, "Go Phil.. Hurry...or you'll be hurt too... " All of a sudden something grabs my ankles and starts dragging me.
I gasp and Dan screams, "Phil no!"
I'm pulled out of his room, I see Dan trying to break free from the chain holding his hand out towards me but the door slams shut...
End of Phil's pov
Phil jolts up. He is in a dark room by himself. Dim moonlight shines through the window and Phil remembers how he fell asleep while watching anime with Dan. He looks at the clock and sees it's 4am. His heart is beating from the nightmare. He slowly stands up and wraps his warm blanket around his body. He weakly walks to Dans room through the dark. He reaches his door and slowly opens it.
He can see Dan sleeping in his bed. "Dan?" he whispers.
Dan grunts and mumbles, "What?"
"Dan.. I..it sounds childish of me but can I please sleep with you tonight?"
Dan sits up, "What? You want to sleep with me??"
"It's cause I had a horrible nightmare. I don't even want to explain how horrible it was. I just can't sleep alone I'm too afraid. Please? Just for tonight."
Dan rubs the back of his head, "Um..I...fine okay." Phil walks to Dan's bed. Dan makes room for Phil to fit. He lays down and says, "Thank you Dan. Goodnight."
Dan sleeply replies, "Mhmm no problem"
