Skittles and tea

Chapter Sixteen

                                                                            Dans POV

It's been four days since PJ had passed away, to be honest it was a relief, he'd been getting a lot worse and he was so sick and miserable it was sort of good to see him go so peacefully, though none of us felt up to doing anything at all, I hadn't left the house in four days (even though it would have probably been more of a shock if I'd have left the house more than once), Phil hadn't changed out of his pajamas, and we haven't heard anything of Chris, he disappeared shortly after we'd been told about Peej, we had tried everything to call him, even visit his house, but nothing. His lights are always on but nobody ever answers the door, we were beginning to worry. Phil and I had decided to sneak up on him today, we didn't really feel like leaving the house or disturbing Chris in whatever he's doing, but we felt we didn't have a choice, he could be in real trouble. I was making myself and Phil some coffee when he shuffled into the kitchen.

 "Morning Dan" the way he spoke these words broke my heart. He was so croaky, he sounded like he'd lost his voice. His eyes were surreally puffed up and bloodshot, it was obvious he hadn't slept at all and that he'd been crying. I couldn't help wondering if my eyes looked that way too.

  "Good morning Philip" I tried to sound as happy as I possibly could, but my voice was just as croaky, I cleared my throat and continued talking.

 "I made us coffee, just the way you like it" I poured the milk into Phil's Caeser's Palace mug as he clasped his hands around it and drank up.

 "it's lovely, thanks Dan" 

There was silence for a minute or two, this would be awkward with anybody else but with Phil the silence wasn't so awkward, we'd been best friends for years that the silence was perfect.

 "So, you still feel up for getting Chris out of his flat today?" I asked, Phil wiping a tear from his eye.

"Yeah, yes, be a good idea, wouldn't it? I hope he's okay"

"I think he'll be okay after some time, he and PJ were inseperable, they were as close as we are" I smiled, thinking about their close friendship and how I would feel if I lost Phil, I couldn't bare thinking abou that, so I wiped my eyes and sipped my coffee, luckily Phil decided to clear his throat and talk. 

"I don't know if you knew this, but Chris told me and I think it's okay to tell you, but those two were totally in love with each other. I knew PJ was crazy about Chris and Chris told me, I think PJ told me at some point, but I've just been so upset I'm struggling to remember a damn thing!"

"I guessed those two were in love, it was so obvious" 

"Yeah, totally obvious! I'm gonna go get ready" Phil said, finishing up his coffee. 

"Okay, I'll just have some pancakes then I'll go get ready too"

"Oooh, do me some please!" Phil called from the hall.

"Will do!" I called back, taking another sip of coffee. I made sure Phil was completely out of sight before I let my hysterical tears flow. 

Author's note: Ahh hey guys! Sorry I haven't been updating this lately D: I've got a lot of personal stuff going on right now, which I won't go into detail about but I do have to go to therapy for it so it's kinda crazy, nothing too serious though!
