"Dan? Are you okay? What happened? X"

"Are you hurt? Do you need help? X"

"Why aren't you answering me? Please Dan I miss talking to you! X"

"Why didn't you show up? Please talk to me Dan :( X"

"Dan ... I miss you. Please."

Dan gazed sadly as his phone continued to buzz next to him. He had been receiving texts from Phil all week and had been so tempted to pick up the phone and talk again. However, then he'd need an excuse and Dan knew telling the truth would make him sound crazy and only drive Phil further away.

He glared at his lap as his phone buzzed for the third time in the last five minutes.

"You're so stubborn Phil." Dan grumbled under his breath. Out of curiosity he peered at the screen.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" He couldn't help smile but it soon vanished. He sighed and put the phone back down, he couldn't read the texts otherwise Phil would know and he didn't want to hurt Phil more than he already was.

Dan huffed out a groan in annoyance and fell back on his bed in frustration. "Why does he have to be so perfect?" Dan thought in annoyance. He remembered how cute Phil looked and how he could get lost in those blue eyes for centuries. He sighed happily just thinking about What Phil looked like and all the conversations they'd had together.

His thoughts were once again interrupted when his phone buzzed once again and he bit his lip, resisting the urge to reply but that didn't stop him peaking at the screen again.

"Is it me? :(" He gave up. Dan had at least reassure him, so he unlocked his phone and tapped on messages and seeing over thirty from Phil.

"Phil ... it's not you, it's me. Now, please stop texting." He replied, biting his lip in hesitance. "Am I really doing this?" He thought, but pressed send anyway.

Phil's response came almost immediately. "DAN! I thought you were dead! Where have you been? Why didn't you show up? Why haven't you spoken to me? :( X"

Dan sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Don't answer Dan. Don't answer..." His brain warned.

"Phil, stop texting me and forget me. You've already done that anyway." He sent his reply before cursing - he was being too vague and Phil would obviously only have more questions.

"I don't know what you're talking about! I'd definitely remember you - especially if I saw you! Please talk to me Dan, I miss you :( X" Phil replied.

Dan gulped, his last words tugged at his heart strings and he was tempted to laugh bitterly at his statement about remembering Dan's appearance. He shook his head and put his phone to the side - what else was he supposed to see? "What are you doing to me Phil?" Dan mumbled, feeling torn between telling Phil the truth and leaving things alone.

But if he left it, he'd be alone forever.

That thought made Dan selfishly want Phil to remember him. He let out a loud yell before surrendering and swiping his phone up once again. What did he have to lose?

"Phil."

He hesitated for a second but shook his head, he'd lose Phil either way. "Alright, you want to know why? Fine then. Ever since I was born I've had a condition. This condition has haunted me all my life and has made me isolate from everyone else. Phil, when a person looks away from my face or body they forget I exist and when they look at me once again it's like they've met me for the first time all over again. I struggle through life every day because I can't get a job because my boss would forget I was working for him and I would leave disaster in my wake. Don't you see? We've already met, I met you in the park a week ago and I know what you look like. I've talked to you and even told you to forget me. Stubbornly, you protested so I told you to look up at the sky and guess what ... you forgot me, like everyone else ... so please. Just leave me alone." Dan hit send with tears in his eyes.
