A/N: FUCK!? Over 700 reads where did you all come from like what? Anyway, this chapter might be a bit confusing but you know, deal with it.

Italics are flashbacks/memories by the way.

Phil POV

It had been a few weeks now and we were both coping well, at least I thought we were. It was around six o'clock in the evening and I had just finished editing another video. Being myself, I was sprawled out on the sofa watching an anime. I heard a few soft sobs coming from down the hall and towards me, so instinctively I sat up and turned around.

Dan had just entered the room, with puffy eyes, clutching the ends of his jumper sleeves.

"Dan? Dan, what's wrong?" I asked sadly, opening my arms. He obliged and lay down on my chest, clutching at my shirt whilst he sobbed his heart out.

"I-I-" He stuttered whilst sobbing heavily.

"Sh, bear. You don't need to explain." I shushed him, running my hands through his hair as he clutched harder at my shirt. His chest rose up and down rapidly with each sob, which reminded me of the 2009 days.

Start of flashback!

I took one last look at myself in the mirror before deciding against my Gengar shirt and settling for a simple red and black plaid one. Dan was coming over in around half an hour. Which meant I had enough time to clear the house up. My parents had gone away for the weekend, you see. With my brother, Martyn, too. I jumped at the chance to have Dan around and as usual, he agreed excitedly to stay from Friday until Sunday.

This meant he had to get a train right after school to get here within good time. At least it gave him something to look forward to at the end of his school week. I'm not sure what I would class Dan as. Is he a boyfriend? A partner? A close friend? I had no idea what we were to each other. I quickly cleared up my bedroom and began on the kitchen and lounge. Soon enough it was seven o'clock, and Dan was due to arrive any second.

I had ordered pizza a while ago, which had just turned up. I sat impatiently on the staircase opposite the front door, waiting for Dan to arrive. Soon enough there was a knock on the door and I leapt up to answer it, only to be faced with a very sad looking Dan. As soon as our eyes met his face crumpled and he fell into my open arms.

"Were they bad again today?" I whispered, rubbing his back. He nodded in response, clutching my shirt tighter.

I knew he had some problems at school. And by problems, I mean vicious bullying everyday. He would get home and I would know by the way he typed how his day had gone. He always said that it was always verbal. Never any physical bullying, until one evening, he was being very blunt and stroppy. Immediately knowing something was up, I called him on video chat. His hair was covering more of his face than usual.

"What's up with the hair?" I joked. "Trying to look more '2005 My Space emo'?"

He shook his head and moved the hair. Underneath that was a purple bruise, which seemed to have a considerable amount of swelling, too.

"Dan... What happened?" I asked, worriedly.

"I couldn't stop them." He answered simply.

He hasn't been able to stop them even now, despite being eighteen. It was fair to say that evening consisted of tissues and DVD's. And not in a horny way.

End of flashback!

"It's coming back, I can feel it." Dan sniffled after a few moments.

"What's coming back?" I sat him up beside me and took one of his hands in mine, rubbing it softly.

"The depression, it's not fully here but I can feel it and I'm scared, Phil. I'm really scared. I don't want to be like this, I thought things were better and I can't do it I really can't. Help me, Phil." He sobbed.

I squeezed his hand and kissed it. "Come on, I'll make a doctors appointment for us both."

"Us both?" Dan questioned. "You're okay, aren't you? You're not leaving me, are you? Phil I can't live without you here, I really can't-"

"Sh, Dan. Calm down, I just need to get a check up. And whilst I'm there we might as well get you to see a doctor. I doubt they'll put you straight back onto anti-depressants, so a check up will do us both good." I explained. He nodded slowly and yawned.

"I'm going to go to bed now." He announced after a few seconds of silence. I smiled up at him and stood up next to him.

"Me too, come on bear." I took his hand and lead him into the bedroom. I put on a pair of spaceman pajama bottoms, leaving me topless. Dan however, just stripped to his boxers and climbed in next to me.

"Goodnight Philly."

"Goodnight Dan, sleep well."

A/N: Hey! I'm sorry this chapter is so short, I've been a bit busy. But it's cool because I have plot ideas for the next few chapters. I think I'll go to 30 chapters and then I'll end this fic, maybe I'll do a sequel if enough people like it. Whatever, bye! ^_^
