There Are Worse Things I Could Do

Chapter 62: Trouble?

Another few weeks went by, but it wasn't all good. Zoe helped you pick out your wedding dress. Yes the decorations for the wedding went out and so did the invites but there was trouble brewing online.

Lately Dan has been acting quite odd. He hasn't been doing his usual YouNows. He doesn't upload as frequently. Your starting to worry. Is he regretting the engagement?

It's about 10:00pm and you haven't seen much of Dan today. You decide to go to your bedroom. When you get there you weren't greeted with a pretty sight.

Dans laptop was on the floor. His phone was launched across the room and Dan himself was underneath the covers hidden from the light.

"Dan...? What's wrong?" You say. Your voice was much more shaky than you wanted it to be.

Dan didn't say a word. You creep over and pull back the covers slightly. By doing that you reveal a sobbing Dan. His face was bright red and wet with tears. His fringe was long as it was in 2012 and plastered against his face. Seeing him like this made you think of his meltdown in 2012. Nobody ever got to see him like this except Phil.

You leave Dan and run to Phil's room. Phil is the only one who knows what to do. You don't bother knocking and you see Phil laying in his bed with his laptop nicely placed on his dresser along with his phone. He has his glasses on and is reading another Stephen King book.

"Phil we got a 911."

"What?" He says closing his book.

"Go look at Dan!"

Phil gets up quickly and you and him run to Dan. Phil pulls the covers completely off and reveals a curled up Dan. He looks down at his best friend in sadness and worry.

"He's having another mental breakdown. He must've saw the comments."

"Are they harassing and stalking him again?"

"Yes. I been getting them too. That's why I logged out of everything."

Dans phone goes off in the corner. You go retrieve it and see a text from him mum.

"I'm still coming to the wedding Dan. I don't care that they are after us again."

Even his family? That's messed up. Phil reads the text too. He frowns and says,

"(Y/N) can you tweet? They will listen to you."

You nod and pull out your phone.

A message to the Phandom. I'm asking all of you nicely to stop harassing Dan and Phil. You don't quite understand what your causing.

You sent the tweet then shit off you phone. Phil glances at Dan with such sorrow.

"Dan doesn't cope well with this. Go lay with him. He didn't have anyone the first time around. Good thing he has you now."

You lay down next to Dan and hug him close. You could feel his ribs pressing against your arms. It was like hugging the 19 year old dan of him. After a bit he stops crying. Phil rubs circles on his back and you stay there hugging him.

You wish there was something you could do to help his family but there isn't. You tweeted your fans and the phandom. This is tearing Dan apart. Maybe even Phil too. It's not all right.

I know this is a touchy subject for the phandom. What happens in 2012 was horrible and what it did to Dan and Phil was so wrong. If you look at them now you can see it happening again. You guys need to know your limits. And yes it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm tiered af
