Y/N= your name Y/LN= your last name F/N= friend's name
"It all started the day F/N died. I watched them die. It was just me and F/N. No one understood. Not my mum, not my dad, not even F/N's family understood. It hurts you know? It's hurts knowing that the person you have been friends with is dead. Not just friends. Best friends. It doesn't matter how long you've been best friends. F/N was there for me. Now F/N is gone," you sob.
Phil awkwardly pats your shoulder and Dan hands you a tissue box.
"Thanks," you sniffle taking a tissue before you continue, "After they died, I cut myself. I couldn't let myself go unharmed. I could've saved F/N. There were so many things I could've done. I didn't know what else to do. I guess it could've been worse. I could've killed myself. I haven't cut myself since. Today was the first time I cut myself since F/N died two weeks ago," you sigh as you continue to wipe your tears away with tissues.
"My friend died too. I felt the same way you did. But then I met Dan. Dan became my friend. We're pretty different but we're best friends now. You'll find a friend. While you find one, Dan and I will be your friends," Phil tells you.

"Thanks," you say looking at where you cut yourself

"Thanks," you say looking at where you cut yourself.
"Do you want something to eat? Do you want some water?" Dan offers you getting up.
"Sure. There's some food in the kitchen or we could order something," you reply.
"I'm getting a pizza," Dan declared.
"I'll go with you," you stated.
"No you aren't missy. You are staying right here. You are in no condition to go anywhere," Phil lectures you.
"Mother Lester, may I please get pizza with father Howell?" you sigh dramatically.
"No my little daughter Y/LN, you must stay home with mother Lester. Father Howell can get the pizza by himself. You can watch mother Lester edit their YouTube video," Phil squeaked in a high pitched voice.
"I, father Howell, will return with pizza!" Dan exclaims hitting his chest before he leaps out of the room. He falls as he reaches the door.

"Dan! I'm suppose to be the naturally clumsy one

"Dan! I'm suppose to be the naturally clumsy one. You are the one who falls off the chair," Phil laughs at Dan.
Dan gets up and walks out of your flat.
"Do you want to talk about F/N? It helps you know. It helps to talk about the death," Phil asks getting his laptop from his room.
"I've talked about it with a lot of people. It doesn't seem to work for me," you shrug watching him turn on his laptop.
"Well maybe you just haven't found the right person to talk to yet," Phil explains as he begins to show you how to edit videos.
"How did you know that Dan was the one who would understand?" You ask.
"I don't really know how I knew. One day it just all came out. He was really supportive. I guess you know when you tell them. If they freak out then they freak out. That means you are one person closer to finding the person that understands you," Phil concluded.
"Pizza is here!" Dan hollers, "Come get some before I eat it all along with the Maltesers that I found on your breakfast bar,"
You lightly smile before you and Phil go to the dining room to eat.
