Dan let out a sob. "How could you, Phil?"
Phil's head shot up. There he was, with another person in Phil's bed. The man Phil was with looked up with a smirk on his face, leaning back smugly onto the bed.
"Dan, I didn't-"
Not waiting for an answer, he fled around the corner of Phil's house, trying desperately to remember the way out. Was it left? Right? His house suddenly seemed like a never ending maze.
Finally, Dan found the exit and rushed out. As he began to speed walk home, the front door opened again.
"Dan, wait!"
He picked up his pace, just short of sprinting.
"DAN!"
"Stop it! Stopitstopitstop!" He screamed.
Sprinting at last, Dan made sure he lost the boy he once called his boyfriend and best friend.

The day after, Dan was a wreck. Phil had called him 49 times and texted him 23 (not that he counted), none of which he responded to. He refused to eat the whole day, much to his parents' dismay.
It was almost unbearable; he couldn't face him tomorrow at school. He just couldn't. So here he sat, a bottle of his mother's seizure medicine in one hand, and a bottle of the house's best wine in the other.
He broke open the bottle quickly, sobbing like mad, and pressed one, two, three onto his tongue. With a gulp, they disappeared. Each pill was placed down like a promise, each one going down like one of Dan's dreams.
Dan gulped and gulped until the whole bottle was gone. He fell to the floor, suddenly feeling dizzy, and the world faded to black as his phone rang for the 50th time.
~
Dan didn't show up to school the day after. Or the day after that. Or the week after. I was getting worried. He finally did show up a full week and a half later, bags under his eyes and the light gone from his eyes.
I had a sickening feeling I knew where he was.
"Dan! How-"
"Please leave me alone." He whispered, sighing hoarsely.
"Please, I need to talk to you."
He shook his head and picked up his pace.
I caught up easily. "I'm really-"
He stopped dead in his tracks. "Sorry? Are you going to say you're sorry?"
"Yes. I need to-"
A slap resonated through the hallway before I realized it was me being hit.
As soon as the hit reached my face, Dan fell to the floor. (A/N: he collapsed, he wasn't the one hit)
Then I realized how thin he had grown since I last saw him, an how sick he looked.
What have I done? I thought.
A crowd began gathering. Someone yelled out that they called an ambulance while another one fanned the unconscious body at my feet.
"Phil, what the fuck happened?" someone asked.
"He- He..." I couldn't bring myself to say anything more to justify what I'd done. I had done this to him.
A paramedic rushed through and placed the frail body on the stretcher, ushering for everyone to get out of the way.
"Can I come with him?"
The man nodded offhandedly and continued carrying the stretcher towards his vehicle.
Once in the ambulance, I was surrounded by doctors.
"He's malnourished."
"Someone get an IV!"
"Traces of medicine in his system..."
I blocked everything out after that, staring at Dan's broken shell of a body.
IdidthisIdidthisIdidthis...
Dan opened his eyes 5 minutes later.
Even through the haze that covered his eyes, you could see the coldness.
"..et... out..."
"I'm sorry, Dan. I did this to you, and I hate that I did that. I just want you to be okay.'
The coldness softened a fraction.
~
Two days later, Dan was getting better. He was back to eating, however reluctant he was about it, and finally would look at me again.
The minute he woke up on Thursday, he requested to see me, much to my surprise.
The doctor shut the door with a sympathetic look, almost like she knew what was going to happen.
A moment of silence passed between the two.
"I'm moving." Dan near shouted.
I nodded glumly, expecting news like this.
"I think we could still talk, if you want..."
Smiling widely, I rushed forward and hugged him lightly. "Thank you."
