Chapter Four:

Phil's Pov:
The sun peeped through a crack in the blinds as morning came, we'd been stood holding hands around Caspar all night. Everyone was silent and there was a long sigh from Joe, he stood up, wiped the dust from his knees and tried to smile,
"I want to bury him."
"It can't be near by, they'll find him. Behind the woods there's a valley, then he can have a proper send off." Marcus chirped in.
I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him but he went straight in for a hug.
"Where's Zoe?" Joe wept.
"She's downstairs with Naomi." I let go of Joe and half smiled.
"Why, is she alright?!" Joes eyes widened and he grabbed my shoulders and shook them.
"I don't know." I looked at the floor and Joe charged past me and slammed the door behind him.

Joe's Pov:
I ran down the stairs looking for Zoe. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Zoe laying on the kitchen table with Naomi bandaging her leg.
"What happened?! Is she okay?! Is she alright?!" I ran to Zoe's side and held her hand. She didn't even flinch.
"She should be. In a while. They couldn't get in touch with a doctor but at the earliest opportunity we must get her to one." Naomi cleaned a knife and placed it back in her bag, slung it onto her back and trotted upstairs.
"It's okay, Zoe. It's gonna be okay." Her cold little hand hung lifeless as I held it with both hands. Her bandage was already stained with blood and her jeans were ripped and dirty, she'd been through so much and I wasn't even there to save her. Her hand tightened it's grip as her eyes flickered and she let out a little 'hmrph' sound, her eyes slightly opened as she muttered,
"Joe?" She tried to sit up and I supported her head,
"It's me Zoe. You're safe now." I said in a calm and comforting tone, "Don't move your leg too much."
"Where are we, Joseph?"
"We are at Marcus and Naomi's."
"Wait, Alfie said we were going to you and Capsar's?"
"We were already here."
"You guys made it over here alive? Good job little Sugg." She smiled but then stopped when I stood away and wiped the tears from my eyes.
"I did."
"What about Caspar?" She looked so confused.
"He passed last night, we are burying him today."
"Joe, I'm so sorry." She just about managed to say swallowing the lump in her throat.
"He was surrounded by those who loved him, and even cracked a joke, the bugger." I giggled through my pain, I'll remember the fun we had, not the tragedy in the end.

Phil's Pov:
Naomi came trotting up the stairs and went to hold Marcus' hand,
"Zoe, will recover." There was a sigh of relief that fell upon the room, "If we are gonna move, we've got to move now. Use the daylight while we can."
"You're right, everyone grab your things. We leave in 10 minutes, Alfie, help me with Caspar." Marcus ordered and everyone started moving.
Eventually, everyone left the room and only myself and Dan were left. He looked around the room for a second until our eyes locked for a brief second before Dan's phone rang,
"Hello....... What? Is he okay........ Yeah. Yeah I'll be right there. Okay, yeah. Bye." Dan hung up and looked horrified,
"What was that about?" I wondered.
"Ummm, PJ went missing last night, they don't know where he is. I have to go, Phil." I felt like a wrecking ball had just smashed me right in the feels,
"Dan, let me go with you." I couldn't loose Dan.
"Phil. No. They need you here, and I'm just gonna be in the way." He began to walk past me but I grabbed his arm and he turned his head to face me but his body was still facing the door, "If you leave, I won't want to fight. Because I'll have nothing worth fighting for. I think I'm the only one who didn't know this whole time... But I'm.... I don't know how to say it. My heart would break without you, little by little until I couldn't wake up. Not without you, Dan." Did I just say that? Go Phil.

Dan's Pov:
It took me a moment to take in what Phil said, I drew my hand to his face and pulled it into mine. We paused a moment then went I'm for it. I kissed him over and over, I'd wanted to do that since 2009. Of course I didn't want to leave, but I didn't know if Phil felt the same way and PJ, he could be dead. But I couldn't miss this. Phil let put his sexy little laugh and I blushed. I fixed my hair and took a deep breathe before kissing him again. Oh my god. I'm kissing Phil Fricking Lester!
I suddenly snapped back into reality, crashed down from Cloud 9, but I had Phil to catch me. I took his hand and we left the attic... The attic where I first kissed Phil.
