Summer nights Phan AU

Chapter 5

Phil's POV
I thought I had ruined everything with Dan but it turns out I haven't and I couldn't be more ecstatic. However, before I found this out I had the worst and most confusing day ever.
Last night was probably one of the worst nights I had ever had. I couldn't stop worrying about Dan. I thought he might've killed himself or something. He sounded so upset on that message and then when I replied to tell him I was sorry, he didn't answer. I tried to play sims till I fell asleep but that didn't work because I couldn't concentrate as I was crying so much. I was so upset and extremely tired as I only had about 1 hours sleep that I nearly didn't bother going to work because I didn't want to explain to Caspar and Marcus why I was like this but I decided to go as I thought it may be a distraction from thinking about Dan and after all I was the boss so it was important for me to turn up.

......
When I arrived at my shop I realised that I was the first one here like I should be; not like the other day when I was extremely late because I was practically fangirling over Dan.

Anyway, because I was the first one at my shop, it gave me some time to pull myself together and get in to my usual persona of being bubbly and happy. I also checked that all the candies were filled up and to my surprise they were. I was kind of disappointed about this as I wanted something to distract from me thinking about Dan. Other than re-filling the candies there weren't really any other tasks that I could do but I guess I could check the paper work and see whether I had any emails. Just as I started to walk to my computer, Marcus entered the shop and greeted me with his usual "Hellooo". I answered back with "Well hello there Marcus" sounding not as cheerful as I hoped I would be.
Great work Phil! He's totally not going to think there's something wrong.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn't even realised Marcus was talking, however he wasn't talking to me, he was talking to Caspar. I hadn't even noticed Caspar enter the building.
Before I had any more time on thinking about who I was talking to and how I did not notice Caspar enter the building, Caspar questionably in a rather sensitive tone said "Are you okay, Phil?? You kind of seem a little spacey today. Are you feeling okay??"
"Erm......yeah,yeah I'm fine, just a little tired" I looked up at them both then awkwardly running a hand through my hair, just showing how much I really was lying.
"Look, Phil, we've known you for a very long time, meaning that we know when something isn't quite right so don't carry on lying to us" Marcus said sympathetically.
"You know you can tell us anything right??" Caspar chirped in.
Awkwardly I said, "Yeah, yeah, I know that, it's just..... I-it's nothing, n-nothing I can't sort out on my own. I-I'll be fi" tears started to roll down my face before I could even finish my sentence. I couldn't hide it anymore now that I was crying, I had to tell them.
I was about to tell them but as I opened my mouth to speak, nothing came out so I just shut it again looking like a goldfish. I looked down at the floor then because I couldn't look at Caspar and Marcus anymore, I didn't want them to see me like this. I couldn't even speak for goodness sake. Tears were streaming down my face.
After a few minutes, I slowly looked up again to see Caspar and Marcus looking up at me with concern in their eyes. I had never ever seen Caspar look so worried before. I was about to turn away and walk to the bathroom so I could pull myself together. When Caspar suddenly pulled me into a tight hug and as he pulled away he softly said "Phil, it's okay, whatever it is you can tell us"
You're our best friend, Phil and friends are here to help each other out during difficult times so it's okay to tell us" Marcus softly said while walking over to me and giving me a one armed hug.

At that moment, I felt very happy to have Caspar and Marcus as my best friends because at times they could be really serious but they could be the most craziest. I loved them. I already felt slightly happier now that they had said this. I looked at them both and gave them a weak smile. I had finally stopped crying at this point.
"Okay, I know that but do you really want to hear what's wrong when it's about Dan who I only just started speaking to a few days ago??" I whispered nervously.

"Yes, Phil, of course we do, especially if it's causing you this much distress" Caspar and Marcus sweetly said in unison.

"Okay,okay, I'll tell you then but you'll probably think it's stupid to get so upset over it. Anyway, I'm going to make a coffee first, anybody want one??"
"We won't think that, Phil. I think you should sit down and try and calm yourself a little. Caspar and I will make the drinks, won't we Caspar??" Marcus said softly.
"Yeah" Casper said without hesitation.

Marcus then walked away to the kitchen situated at the back of the store.
"Mmmm... Y-yeah okay b-but what about t-the shop b-because I m-mean it's 9am now, it's m-meant to be o-open now" I awkwardly stuttered trying not to cry again.
I hadn't been this emotional around anyone for ages. I wasn't even this emotional when I broke up with my boyfriend last year when we were together for three years. Why was I so upset about not being friends with Dan?? I mean I've only know him for two days for goodness sake. I hardly know the guy.
I snapped up to attention not even realising I had zoned out at all until I heard Caspar shout my name with worry and concern visible in his tone of voice.
"Y-yeahhhhh" I said slowly suddenly feeling a little lightheaded.
I didn't know why I felt dizzy but I figured it was because I had worried to much about Dan and the fact that I only slept for one hour. I knew that when I calmed down I would feel okay again though.
However, it was too late. I heard what Caspar had said which was "It's okay about the shop, it can stay closed for a little longer. What's important right now is making sure you're alright, okay?? And by the looks of it I don't think you are because you really don't look to good" Caspar said in the most sympathetic yet worried tone I had ever heard him talk in.
At that moment, I was just about to reply to him when suddenly I could no longer concentrate, the room was spinning and I felt extremely dizzy. I didn't know what to do. I had no idea whether Caspar could see what was happening because everything was a blur. I knew that Marcus couldn't see me because he was in the kitchen. All I was able to do was say Caspar and Marcus' name in the most faintest whisper ever. I think Caspar shouted Marcus' name but I'm not sure.

The last thing I remember was feeling two arms wrap tightly around my torso and what sounded like Marcus' voice saying "It's going to be okay, Phil" Everything went black.

Okay so here is chapter 5. I'm sorry it's not the part y'all wanted where Dan & Phil meet but I wrote this at around 3am last night and well I went off topic a little. It's probably way to dramatic. I'm sorry, but I think we all know what our minds are like at 3/4am. Anyway, because this is a little of topic it means that there will be a few more chapters before they meet up.
I hope y'all enjoy!!! Love you all so much, little munchkins.
Please don't forget to vote and comment because it means a lot to me. Hope y'all had/having/have a phantastic day!! XOX
