"Dan."

Nick's voice seemed to be louder than the rain in Dan's head. He quickly broke away from Phil, spinning around, wide eyed.

"Nick, I-" Dan tried, but Nick interrupted him before he could say anything else.

"No, shut up, I know what happened." Nick was really angry, but was refraining from yelling.

Dan opened his mouth to protest again, but Nick only pressed his mouth to Dan's, not letting him speak.

Dan squeaked and didn't get a chance to kiss Nick back before Nick was pulling away.

Nick turned to Phil. He leaned in close to whisper into Phil's ear.

"You, you little bitch, you better stay the hell away from Dan. I know you kissed him, and it better not happen again. Or else."

Phil looked shaken up. He took off running to his house.

Nick turned to Dan. "I don't want you talking to Phil again," Nick snapped cruelly. He turned away. "Tomorrow, tell him that you don't want to be his friend anymore. Or I'll have to do something about it."

Nick started to walk off, leaving Dan in the ice cold rain, to follow after Nick.

-

Dan had no choice. He wanted to break up with Nick, but he didn't want Phil to get hurt.

He found himself walking to Phil's house on a slightly chilly Saturday afternoon.

He knocked quickly on the door.

Mrs. Lester opened the door after a few moments. Dan's palms were sweaty.

"I- Is Phil here?" Dan asked shakily, tears pricking in the corners of his eyes. She nodded and let him in.

He went up to Phil's room. He knocked on the door with shaky hands.

Phil answered the door, looking like he had gotten no sleep. "D- Dan?" Phil uttered.

Dan wrapped his arms around Phil. He kissed him. "Phil, I can't be friends with you anymore..." Dan whispered, tears finally falling from his eyes.

"W- why-"

"Nick, he said he would... it sounded like he was implying that he'd hurt you, and I- I-"

"Dan, y- you- just- just go... please."

Those were the words that Dan didn't want to hear.

"But Phil, why-"

"Leave Dan! Go be with Nick!"

And with that, Phil slammed and locked his bedroom door, shutting out the world, and just sobbing.

Dan turned around, sobbing himself, before walking out of there.

-

Dan felt ashamed of himself. He wanted to be with Phil, but now it seemed that Phil hated him, when really, unknown to Dan's mind, Phil was just all alone, suffering from heartache, just like Dan.

Only Dan wasn't alone, because he had Nick to thank for that.
