Marcus' POV
"Is he going to be okay, Caspar? I said shakily
"Yeah, yeah of course he's going to be okay , Marcus. It's Phil we're talking about. I mean if he doesn't wake up in the next minute I think we should call an ambulance though"
"Yeahh, that's a good idea.
I really hope he's okay. What could've happened to get Phil in this state? I have never, ever, ever seen him like this before, not even when he broke up with Brad"
"Yeah, I know right" Caspar answered in an uneven tone.
"Caspar, what do you think happened between them?" I questioned nervously.
"Erm.... maybe they had an argument or something or maybe he found out something about Dan that was traumatic"
"Yeaahh, maybe, I hope it's nothing to serious..." Before I could finish, I was cut of by a small "mmfh" sound coming from Phil.
I quickly glanced at Caspar, who had the same look of relieve on his face at the fact that Phil had woken up. I dashed towards Phil's side ; Caspar joined a few seconds after.
"How are you feeling Phil?" I spoke softly.
"W-what h-happened?"

I thought I was about to cry at the sound of his voice. He looked and sounded so vulnerable,with his pale face, tear stained cheeks and the shaky whisper he spoke in like he was scared of what Caspar and I were about to tell him. However, I managed to keep my cool. "I walked in to our shop around 8:57am and you didn't seem yourself and Caspar here also agreed with me. We asked you what was wrong and you said that you were just tired at first but we knew that there was more to it than that. This time you mentioned something about Dan but you didn't quite finish your sentence as you broke down into tears, after that you passed out. You're okay now though, Phil, don't worry." It was so hard to stay calm while saying this, however, Casper helped by smiling at me every now and then and mouthing 'you can do this'. I think I had said that last sentence more for myself that Phil, although I did want to reassure him too.
"Mmm... O-okay. D-Dan, I n-need to k-know if he's okay" Phil stuttered in a muffled whisper.
I didn't know what to say at this point as I couldn't believe how out of character Phil was being. It was so unlike him. I couldn't wait for him to return to his usual self. I hated seeing him like this. As I didn't know what to say I glanced over to Caspar for some help as he just seemed to be staying out of it a little, probably unsure of what to say. However, he did say something.
"Erm... Phil I think you should have a little rest in the room adjacent to this one or back at home before you start finding out if Dan's okay. We need to make sure you're okay before we do anything else and before you protest we're both going to take you back home or yeah you could stop here but I think it would be best if we closed the shop for today and looked after you back at your apartment."
"Mmm.. yeah,... okay but what about the customers, they'll be disappointed that the shops not open for it's usual business? I can't do that to them, Caspar" Phil replied rather quiet.
I chirped in then,trying to help Caspar out. I started by saying his full name Philip Michael Lester, stating that there was to be no rejection towards the matter. "Philip Michael Lester, Caspar and I are taking you back home whether you like it or not. I'm sure your customers will be okay with having the shop closed  for a day and besides if they're not, your mental health comes first. Sorry, Phil."
This sounded pretty harsh I guess but it's only because I cared about Phil. He was like a brother to me.  I didn't want to see him upset, ill or anything.
"Okay, that's fine, I guess and thank you, guys" Phil replied in a much more even tone, which I was incredibly happy to hear.

10 minutes later
Back at Phil's apartment, we all sat on the couch drinking hot chocolate listening to Phil talk about Dan, telling us what had being going on in that mind of his before he broke down and passed out.
After Phil had told us why he was worried about Dan, I could understand why he was distressed about the situation  because it seemed that Dan had had a pretty rough time in life, from what I can gather. Plus,  Phil still hadn't found out what Dan secret was, which  is why is I suddenly had the idea to ask Phil if he wanted to meet up with Dan.... so thats what I did.

"Phil, why don't you ask Dan if he wants to meet up with you, somewhere so you can get to know each other more?" I questioned.
Phil suddenly jumped at the sound of my voice, clearly in his own world, thinking.
"Yeah... Marcus that's an awesome idea. Thank you, thank you. Wait, I could ask him right now, couldn't I?" Phil answered in the most enthusiastic voice I had even heard him speak in.
"Yeah.. I suppose but please have a little rest first, you must be tired after what happened, am I right, Caspar?"
"Yepp, I think that's for the best, Phil" Caspar said without hesitation.
"Mmm... yeah okay" Phil said glumly, while looking down at the laminate flooring.
" You better, Phil. I'll be calling you later to make sure you're okay. Byee, for now" I stated sternly but softly at the same time. A few seconds after, Caspar also said he was leaving and with that Caspar and I hugged Phil goodbye.
"Thank you guys, for being here for me today, it meant a lot." Phil spoke just before we left.
"You're welcome ,Phil, anytime you know that" Caspar and I said at the exact time.
Exchanging smiles all round, Caspar and I stepped out Phil's apartment, closing the door behind us.
Walking out the exit door of the building, we both parted ways saying we would see each other at work, tomorrow after saying we were glad Phil was okay.

.....
I couldn't have been more happy to have arrived back home, to relax and watch tv after such an eventful morning. I was so worried about Phil, I guess I'm just glad that I had gotten to work at that time because who knows what might've happened if I hadn't been there. Hopefully, he's okay now.
Omg, hey guys, soo, this was Marcus' POV. Next time will be the chapter y'all have been waiting for.... Dan and Phil finally meet :D
