Therapy (Phan)

2: When I woke up alone I had everything.

When Phil woke up in his bed a few days later, dreading the first day back at school and the therapy session that followed, he stretched and thought about therapy.

He sighed as he climbed out of bed and got dressed. He ate some cereal and rushed off to school.

-

Phil walked inside school for the first time since the start of summer break. He wished he wasn't walking back into school, and that he was dead, because when he tried to kill himself, they found him, and saved him, and he woke up alone in a hospital bed. and when he woke up alone, he had everything; all the attention that he didn't want.

He just wanted to be dead.

That's all he ever wanted since he got depressed.

Phil walked over to his locker, and that's when he noticed that boy with chocolate brown hair and the eyes to match, walking right towards him... it was the boy from therapy.

Phil struggled to remember the boy's name. Ugh. He'd spent days in therapy with him and couldn't remember his name still.

The boy walked right over to Phil, opening the locker besides Phil's. The boy looked over at Phil and smiled a bit.

"Phil, right?" The boy asked, chuckling a bit and blushing. Phil nodded and continued to stare into his empty locker.

The boy noticed something about Phil, something he couldn't pinpoint, but something nevertheless. He also figured Phil must've forgotten his name.

"I'm Dan, by the way," the boy chuckled softly, biting his lip. "Dan Howell." Phil looked over at Dan.

"I'm Phil. Phil Lester."

Dan giggled. "Ah, now you're talking!" He exclaimed quietly, causing Phil to cover his mouth as he giggled. "Literally!"

Phil hid his mouth with his hands as he continued to giggle because of Dan, for Dan was sort of making a fool of himself purely for Phil's amusement. He didn't know why, but already he didn't like seeing Phil look sad, and he loved his laugh already - it was adorable, how could you not?

In fact, Dan found all of Phil that he's witnessed adorable already, and he barely knew him. He just knew that he wanted to make Phil happy.

Because as soon as Phil walked into therapy days before, Dan knew that Phil had it way worse than him, because Dan had only mild depression, and his mum made him go to therapy, and he knew, when Phil walked right into therapy, that Dan was already in love, because Dan believed in love at first sight, and well, Phil was beautiful, and Dan wanted to make him as happy as possible, even though he only knew Phil for a short time.

And Phil was oblivious to it all.

-

Dan and Phil spent the rest of the day in school together, and even went into therapy together.

Still though, neither of them said why they were there, but Dan was determined now to figure out why Phil was so sad, and what happened for him to end up in therapy, because Phil looked like he was genuinely a happy person, but someone must've said or done something to cause the ray of sunshine that was Phil to become so sad, and to do something to get him here, and Dan was kind of happy about it, he couldn't lie, because otherwise he wouldn't have ever met Phil.

During the session, Phil noticed that the guy... what was his name again? Nick? He was staring at Dan, and Dan was gazing at Phil, and Phil wondered if something was going on between the two, not that it was his place to pry, but just, curiosity was getting the better of him, yet still, he wouldn't ask.

The way Nick stared at Dan seemed like he was in love with him, not that Phil could be too sure, since he only barely knew them.

After the session, they all departed except Dan and Phil, who were waiting for their mums, PJ and Nick, Dan's friends, who were going to hang out with Dan, and Chris, who was just about to leave.

Phil sighed as he realized he didn't know the others well enough just yet to talk in front of them, and that he couldn't ask to go over to Dan's because he just met him.

Just then, Dan's mum pulled up, letting the three boys, Dan, Nick and PJ, climb in before talking to Dan for a moment. Phil could hear what she was asking though.

"Are you going to invite your other friend, Daniel?" She'd asked him. Dan facepalmed and muttered an 'oh yeah', and turned to face Phil.

"Do you want to come over?" Dan asked Phil, to which Phil nodded. Dan smiled and allowed Phil to sit in the passenger seat. Phil texted his mum, telling her that he was going to a friend's, if that's what they were.

She texted him back saying, 'okay', and they went off to Dan's house.
