Emotions

Chapter Six

(Phil's POV)
  No. This can't be real. This is just a dream. I didn't want to convince myself that (Y/n) had... No. I don't want to think about it. I can't. I fell to the floor with my hands on my face. I heard loud steps coming towards me. That's when I felt the presence of Dan. He too, joined me on the floor. We both looked at each other with tear filled eyes. "20 minutes. 20 minutes, Phil." I felt my heart twist and turn in place. "Dan..." I couldn't even get the words out of my mouth, so I just showed him the napkin I found just outside the bathroom door. I put my hands back on my face and rested my arms on my knees. Dan looked up at me, and he was quite confused. "Wh-what?" I kept choking up with every breath. "What is it?" Dan had no clue what the napkin was. Should I tell him..? I decided that before I told him what I thought the napkin was, I took it upon myself to look closer at it. It's exactly what I thought it was from the start.
Dried blood.

(Y/n's POV)
  Two months of utter bullshit is what that was. I knew I couldn't be strong forever, but I didn't think my victory was gonna end so fast.

  I don't want the boys to suspect anything.. So I guess I'll get back to the table. I picked up my headphones and stuffed them back in my purse. I cleaned up the mess that was made, fixed up my hair and makeup, and proceeded to leave the bathroom. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Dan and Phil both on the ground in front of me, just sitting on the floor with their faces in their hands. "Guys..?" When the boys heard my voice their heads jerked up, and they jumped to their feet. "(Y/N)!!!!!!" They grabbed me so tight I thought they were going to break me. "Is everything alright?" Dan looked me straight in the eyes and knew something was up. I couldn't let them know what I had done, so I had to lie. "Yeah I'm fine! I'm so sorry to have worried you guys. I was listening to music on my phone while you guys were talking with the sweet girl. I didn't want to intrude." I'm such a terrible person. "Oh my god. I'm just glad you're okay." Dan came back in for another hug. This time, whispering in my ear, "You can tell me anything," and pulled away with a caring smile. Phil kept examining me, and I got pretty worried. What if he knows..?

  When we went back to sit down, we started talking about when and why I moved here, and just a little background information about me and my life. That's when Phil got a text. "Hey guys I uh, have to go. Well, thanks for everything! It was nice chatting with you, (y/n)! Glad we know each other a little better!" Phil seemed a little tense ever since I got out of the bathroom. I hope he's okay... "Well I guess it's just the two of us!" Dan looked really happy for some reason, and I'm not exactly sure why.

After about 2 hours of laughing and cracking jokes, Dan and I finally left the coffee shop.
  I'm glad we got to sit down and talk for a while, even though most of what we said was pointless. One thing is for sure though, those pointless conversations made me fall more for Dan.
  We only took about 7 steps out the coffee shop when Dan stopped and grabbed hold of my wrist. Fuck! I winced in pain. Of course he didn't mean to hurt me, but I only made the situation worse. "Is everything alright?" Dan looked at me with loving eyes. "Yeah everything's fine. I just uh-" I was then interrupted by Dan's soft, pink lips. I pulled away, then smiled and kissed him back. "(Y/n), I'm so sorry.. I just couldn't help myself.. You looked so gorgeous and I had to take the chance.." He picked up his hand and scratched the back of his neck. I playfully hit his shoulder and we continued walking hand in hand to the flat. Today was overall pretty shitty, but it worked out okay in the end..
  When we finally got to flat, Dan invited me to stay the night instead of going to my unprepared room. "Cause I know that you don't have your bed and stuff set up so I insist you stay in our flat tonight." Dan smiled his adorable little smile. "As long as nothing happens, Howell." I winked at him and he automatically blushed and said, "I can't promise anything," and kissed my cheek.
  After about 30 minutes of playing Mario Kart I got a text from Phil.
Phil🙈: Hey (Y/n)! Dan told me you're gonna stay over and I don't mind at all but if you want you can stay in my room! I won't be home tonight.
  You: Oh, okay thanks! I really appreciate it. Hope you have fun wherever you go! :)
  "Who was it?" He's so cute when he's overprotective. "It was Phil. He was just telling me how I could sleep in his room for the night." Dan sighed and said okay and we continued with the game.

~~~~le time skip to 1:00am~~~~

  "Holy shit, Dan! It's already 1:00 in the morning!" We both chuckled and finished yet another round of Mario Kart. Dan rested his head on my shoulder and whined, "Do we haavveee to go to bed noowww?" I giggled and pushed him up off me and said, "Yes, Dan. It's really late." He groaned and stared at me with puppy dog eyes. "I'm going to sleep. Night." I smiled and hugged him goodnight and strolled to Phil's room.

~~~in the middle of the night~~~

  I was having a great sleep, until I saw him, it. That's when he jumped at me and started attacking me. He put his hand on my throat and I took my last breaths of air.
Lifeless.
