"It's you" Dan spoke almost harshly, pointing his finger at Phil.

"What?" Lester panicked, glancing around as he stood up nervously.

"You know what I'm talking about, Unknown" growled the seventeen year old we now know.

"Um.." The slightly older guy stuttered, struggling for words as he looked nervously at the geekier kid "Who? What're you on about Daniel"

Dan took a deep breath in, the name 'Daniel' just reminded him of his mother and how she spoke and acted towards him, the abuse, the words, the venom in her voice.

"Forget it"  whispered the seventeen year old, turning to continue walking down the road away from his house and away from Phil Lester.

"Wait! Dan!" Phil called after him, chasing after Howell.

But Dan didn't want to be stopped. Dan didn't want to talk to Phil. Dan didn't want anything to do with Phil at this point and so he took off running.

"Wait up, Dan!" Cried the eighteen year old, speeding up.

Eventually, Lester caught up with Dan and grabbed hold of Dan's shoulder which he'd fallen on earlier that day and so the seventeen year old seethed in pain as Phil's hand came in contact with his shoulder.

"Ow!! Get off me!" Whimpered the brunette.

"Dan, I'm sorry! Yeah, I'm Unknown. I was too scared to just talk to you" admitted the punk.

"Just... Just leave me alone" Dan sighed, turning and walking away.

Phil frowned and just turned around, heading back to his house and leaving Dan be. He'd see him the next day at school or next door anyway.

Would he really though?

Dan ended up sat in town in a little café drinking a cup of hot chocolate with absolutely no intention of leaving until it closed up and from there, who knew where he was going.

As he slowly slipped his drink, his phone vibrated on the table making him jump, though he quickly settled back down seeing the states come from others around him.

To: Dan🔥
From: Unknowwn

I'm so sorry, I just fell for you a while back, okay? I was too scared to talk to you so I decided to go by Unknown while I was texting you. I hoped to get to know you, I hoped you'd fall for some kid you didn't know. And when you put it like that, it sounds like I was trying to take advantage. I'm so sorry Dan😣I messed up big time🔫 I love you x

Sighing, Dan changed Phil's contact name and began typing up a reply.

To: Phil😞
From: Dan🔥

It's okay. I did fall for you I guess. But now, now I know who you are and what you were doing, I don't want to be with you or around you. You tricked me. You fooled me into thinking you were some kid who would always care. You won't. Heck, how many girls have you been with in the last month? You've probably lost count🙄 I've seen them all going to your house. And your room is right beside mine. Forgot that the wall isn't soundproof Hm? Doesn't matter. I won't be putting up with that anymore. Bye, Lester👋🏻

Phil😞 is typing...

Dan rolled his eyes, locking his phone and finishing off his drink before looking back out of the window to see it was actually warmer than he though.

So instead of staying inside and having to buy more drinks, he stood up, grabbed his phone and headed outside.

He was just sitting down on a bench when his phone vibrated once more, making him jump..

To: Dan🔥
From: Phil😞

Me making all the noise? And what about you and your mother?! I hear the bangs and clatters, the shouts and screams! You're obviously not a goody two shoes at home like you are at school. You're a joke, Dan. Pathetic really. All you could do when we were in person was run whereas in messages, you won't shut up. Keyboard warrior😂x

Dan just sat there, staring at the messages.

What was he meant to do?
