Dear Phil,

28

Ow...Why does my head hurt?
Dan suddenly sat up. "Where am I?" He asked out loud.
There was no response. Dan was on some random street, with no idea where he was.
I had another flashback... It was the day Sian took me to the gypsy market, right? September 12th... That's today, right? But why did I think of that now? And why was it the full one again?
Dan stood up and brushed himself off. He needed to get back to the restaurant and apologize to everyone.
But... I really shouldn't say anything, right? I mean, I'll just keep quiet about my flashback. It's not even that big of a deal. But my head still hurts.
"Well, time to get going," He mumbled to himself.
•••
"Where could he be?" Phil quietly asked himself.
Tesa, Kylie, and he had split up to look for Dan. So far there'd been no news, and the three of them were starting to get really worried.

Buzz buzz

Phil checked his phone at the next red light.

Tesa: any sign of him? I've checked all of his favorite spots, but nothing

Kylie: he's nowhere...

Phil quickly typed a reply.

Phil: I haven't seen anything either. I'll let you know if I do!

He put his phone away and continued to drive. Phil was circling back to the restaurant when he noticed someone walking along the side of the road.
It's got to be Dan... Wait, how do I know that? I've known him for about 24 hours and I already know him by a glance?
He mentally faceplamed himself. Putting the self idiocy aside, Phil pulled over to the side of the road.
"Dan?" He said, rolling down the window.
Dan jumped. "Phil?! Oh jeez I'm sorry for running out like that, it's just I--"
"--no it's fine! You'd better come with me, Tesa and Kylie are worried about you," Phil explained.
Dan looked crestfallen when Phil mentioned that Tess and Kyles were worried, but he walked over to Phil's car and opened the door.
Or at least, tried too.
"Um Phil?"
Phil turned to Dan. "What? What's wrong?"
Dan blushed. "Um... The doors locked."
Phil faceplamed. "Right..." He unlocked the door, and Dan climbed in.
Dan closed the door with enough force that he accidentally bumped into Phil's arm.
"S-sorry," Dan muttered.
Phil sat frozen. Oh gosh! I forgot that I might actually have a crush on D-- wait. I'm strai--- wait. Gah! He's mixing up my feelings!
Dan glanced over at Phil, a slightly worried look on his face.
"Hey, Phil? Are you okay?"
Phil quickly pulled himself out of his thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm fine! Sorry, just got distracted." Phil turned to Dan and smiled.
Shoot.
Dan was really blushing. Like crazy. And it was really, really effing attractive.
And his eyes just so happened to be locked right on Phil's.
Blue met brown.
They're so pretty.
Phil's gaze slowly traveled over Dan's face.
"P-Phil?" Dan breathed, his eyes questioning.
I really should stop. Seriously.
But he felt himself leaning closer, closer.
I... Need to... Stop...

BEEP BEEP!

Phil jumped back. A car whooshed by them, nearly hitting Phil's car.
Phil refused to look at Dan. He hastily started the car, and started to drive again.
Dan sat in the driver's seat, blushing furiously.
What did I just do? I almost kissed Dan! Jeez, I should know by now that he doesn't like me, he likes Jace! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
•••
I should've know he didn't like me! I mean, he's AmazingPhil, after all! What the fuuuuck. Oh my god, I'm dying. He almost just kissed me. No, that can't be it. He was probably just checking to see if I'm okay. Am I blushing? God I'm so red! How can I talk to him about this? I need to talk about something, or I'll die from the tension!
Dan looked around for something to talk about. Suddenly, he noticed the lion he had sent Phil, was sitting on the dashboard.
He kept it?! I mean, I saw it in his videos, but this is way better.
Dan's gaze wandered over to Phil as he was thinking of something to say.
•••
Is he checking me out? No, that's not it. He's probably checking to see if I could creep him out any more. Nice going back there, Phil. Real impressive.
Dan was silent.
Phil drove.
I have no idea where I'm going. I should ask him. Or should I wait for him to ask me?
•••
Okay, I'm saying something now.
•••
Fine! If he's not going to talk, then I will.
•••
"Hey--"
"Hi--"
Dan gulped. They both stared at each other for a second before looking away.
"Um," Dan scratched his head, "do you know where you're going?"
Phil shook his head. "Sorry I didn't ask you earlier! I can drop you off at the school if you'd like. Or just tell me how to get to your house."
That sounded stalkerish. But AmazingPhil wouldn't care. Right?
"Oh... Just take a left off this highway, then I'll direct you."
Right.
Phil drove in silence for a while longer, before asking Dan a question.
"Please don't run away, but have you found an answer to my ocean question yet?" Phil said innocently.
Dan looked out the window. "Well," he began.
