*Hands you a packet of crisps.*
"Phil, thanks for not being scared to prove I exist." Dan spoke up, after us walking for five minutes in silence.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Like if it was anyone else, they would probably do whatever they can to get rid of me, but you're different, you stuck with me, you want to prove I exist, and I can't be more thankful than I am right now." He turned to me, as we entered my house on the way back from school.
"Honestly, it's okay. There is definitely no reason to thank me." I assured him, it was true, of course I'd do anything for him.
"No, I do need to thank you." He repeated, and I laughed and shook my head as we were greeted by my parents.
"Hey Phil, how was school?" My parents asked, and I turned to Dan, despite them not being able to see him, I smiled and turned back to them.
"It was great." I replied as we made our way to my room.
We walked in, and sat down on my floor opposite each other. Just seeing him reminded me that I really wanted to prove his existence. Ghosts are real. Dan is real. Maybe there was some pictures of Dan, or something, anything. That's when an idea hit me, a good idea. I suddenly jumped up, which earned a confused puppy dog look face from Dan. Which can I say was extremely cute.
"DAN I HAVE AN IDEA," I screamed, my parents probably heard, but it didn't matter.
"What?" He responded, slowly, as he was confused.
"So when you was erm..." I started.
"Alive?" He smiled, I just felt weird saying it. "It's okay to say that Phil, it's okay."
"Well you must've used social media right? Do you remember any user names or anything at all?" I rattled on and he jumped up with me.
"That is a good idea. I remember my facebook. I REMEMBER MY FACEBOOK! That's it Phil, you're a genius!" Dan exclaimed as I rushed to my laptop and opened it and logged in.
"Okay so my name is Dan Howell. It should be... It's that one!" He said and pointed to a certain profile.
"Okay." I replied, clicking on it and a profile loading up.
"And must I say Phillip Michael Lester? That's hot." He said looking at the name of my profile, then turning his head away. "I mean. What? Erm." He stuttered.
"Thanks?" I chuckled awkwardly, and blushed.
I clicked on his photos and about 5 popped up. And must I say, they don't look to recent, but of course they wouldn't be. But anything that can prove his existence I will do. I quickly got my phone out and snapped each of the pictures. I turned to Dan who's face was sad looking. I was confused as to why though. My face instantly dropped, I hate seeing someone who means so much to me be sad.
"What's wrong?" I questioned, but I saw his eyes were glued to the status' on his wall.
"These people were my friends, my family." He sobbed. "Scroll down." He requested and I did so.
"R.i.p to my best friend. You were there for me when I was down, you was there when I was going through hard times and you never left my side no matter how hard things got between us. And can I just say, I'm thankful for that and I will never ever ever forget you. Remember the time we binged watched loads of horror movies, and scared ourselves so much that we would always walk each other to the bathroom. Nothing can describe how much I miss you. Rest in peace bro." Dan read out a status, and by time he was finished, he was in tears.
Seeing him his sad, I just wanted to hold him, but I couldn't. I just wasn't to kiss him, but I couldn't. I just wanted to pat him on the back and tell him that everything was going to be okay, but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I sighed, and turned to him.
"Dan I'm so sorry, I -" I chocked on my words.
"He used to be my best friend. I haven't seen him since that weekend that I died. He was with my literally hours before. His name was Sam, we used to do literally everything together." Dan's voice got quieter.
"It's all my fault." I admitted, suddenly realising that since he met me he has been sad.
"What do you mean? What could possibly be your fault?" He sniffled.
"Ever since I've moved here I've caused you trouble. I made you tell the story you wasn't ready to tell, I made you see stuff online that you wasn't ready to see. Im sorry, I truly am." I apologised, genuinely realising what I have done.
"Philip Michael Lester hush yourself. You haven't done anything wrong, if anything you have brought happiness to my life and I have felt happiness in a long time, let alone feel anything in a long time. You're amazing, Phil." Dan said, his voice turning serious.
"And same to you too, I've never had a friend as unique as you." I replied.
We sat and scrolled through a few profiles of people he had known in the past. To think, he hasn't been able to watch tv, or press any buttons or type for years. There were mixed emotions from Dan. Sad, from seeing his old friends saying how much they miss him. Anger, from seeing posts saying they miss him, when in reality they made his life a misery. And happiness, from seeing his family safe and sound. Honestly, Dan is a stronger person than anyone I know.
I also updated him on things that have been happening in the world. He was genuinely shocked at everything I showed him. It's almost as if he was living in a whole new world. Again, I showed him more new games that had come out. But it came to night time where I thought it would be a good time to stop. I shutdown my laptop and turned to him.
"Well what do you want to do now?" I asked, letting him do whatever he pleased.
"Well if I'm honest, can we watch a movie? I haven't watched tv in years." He replied looking over at my dvd stack.
"Sure, what movie do you want to watch?" I walked over to my dvd stack.
"Lion king. I remember watching that film everyday." He requested, I slotted the dvd into the DVD player, and we began to watch the film.
We both sat on my bed, well, that made me happy. The fact that Dan could sit on my bed and my floor without going through it. Seeing him so enticed into a film was wish fulfilling. I've managed to give him a little happiness, which made me happy.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day, I have pictures of Dan, well they may be a little outdated, but they are pictures.
I just wonder how they will react...
A/n - Cliff hanger!!! Well sort of... Kind of?... I guess so... Anyway I hope you enjoyed and I hope you are enjoying it so far. Expect an update soon. Peace out guys✌️
