"PHILIP MICHAEL LESTER! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY GOOD STRAIGHTENER!" I yelled throughout the flat. Anyone could have goddamn heard. I yelled loud when it came to somethings. I heard no reply so I walked from the bathroom with my hair all blow dried and everywhere. Phil and my mom were the only ones who saw me like this to be honest, no one else had ever seen my gross and curly hair I've grown to hate.

I hastily open Phil's door with no warning, stepping in as my toes squish into the warm and fluffy carpet. I see whimpering on the floor while grasping his toes. "Oh god your stupid." I sighed as I bent down and saw Phil had burnt his toes while using my straightener, I saw it laying on the floor next to his feet and expected the worst: my straightener broken. I cringed as I reached for my straightener, flicking the switch it clicked and the blinking light signalled it worked properly.

I exhaled a breath I didn't know I was holding. Phil by now was composed and over the burnt toes and he had gotten an ice pack and was on his bed and aiding to his precious toes. "Jeez, how many times do you tell me not to use your straightener." Phil laughed and shook his head slightly. "Like all the bad things happen to me." He smiled and I chuckled as I turned my attention to Phil's mirror and started to straighten my hair quickly before we filmed this video.

Phil and I were filming a video, I honestly don't know what he's got planned which is extremely odd. I always knew what Phil was doing for his videos. He could never shut up about them which was odd for this video.

As I finished straightening my hair, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Phil reaches for the door and wake towards the front door down the one flight of stairs.

"DAN!" I heard a familiar voice yell.

It was the one and only PJ, followed by Chris, Joe and Caspar. I saw them all flow into Phil's room and they all say down on the bed. I smiled when they all started talking to me but I couldn't think of them. Actually I couldn't think for myself all day so far.

Ever since I watched the tape last night where that one man hit the young woman, I couldn't stop thinking of her. The way her cold eyes looked into mine. As if they looked at me for help, support, or I took it the wrong way. She could have looked at me in complete disgust and hatred. The way she looked at me was indecisive, as if she didn't know what to tell me.

I wanted to know what she meant, what she wanted to tell me. Who that man was and why. Why would he ever hit such a beautiful girl like that? It boggled my mind. I could never hit someone's like that.

The world we live in is such a terrible place for people to be doing that and for the cops to only show up and call it domestically privatised, where they can't intervene without their phone call or a warrant. The judicial system was terrible and I knew shit had to be done to it so they could take the calls that mean more than others. The ones that could save a life that's lost from domestic abuse.

I sat down with the boys and Caspar pulled out a stack of white and black cards I knew too well. Everyone cheered and hooted as the cards were dealt and that's when I realised the camera was on. It's small red light reminding anything I said or did on camera was now most likely going onto the Internet. I smiled as my cards were handed to me when we all said hi at once, smiling like idiots in front of the camera.

"Hey guys! As you probably know all these people I'm not going to introduce them!" Phil said as the four other boys smiled like idiots.
"Well today were playing Cards Against Humanity, and to be honest. I could play this all the time!" Phil laughed as he shuffled the cards a couple times.
"So you all probably know how this works so we're going to just let you watch!"

As Phil grabbed the top card he read it aloud.
"My kitten once ______ and then _______ was the aftermath."

I looked through my cards and all I had were: farted, had sex with, huge dick, mysterious blowjob, and used a broken vibrator. So I decided to go with 'my kitten once used a broken vibrator and then a mysterious blowjob was the aftermath.' It wasn't the best I've ever seen but Phil would absolutely love it. After we all read ours out, it came to Phil voting. Phil took a long time to make a decision. Which eventually led to him getting hurried where he just yelled my name.

"COME ON!" Everyone yelled, mine was by far no the best. PJ had 'my kitten once dry humped an old pair of the pastors underwear and then sex on the London Eye was the aftermath.' Which was an insane good pull on his part for cards. As Caspar pulled the next card, we all tried to beat the next person for the best play on the words.

~•a couple hours later•~

"Oh god that was good." Phil smiled as he passed me my cup of tea. All the boys had left by now, leaving only Phil and I in our flat. I sipped my tea slightly, flinching from the previously boiling water. I smiled back at him and leaned in my chair a bit. "What's wrong Dan?" His blue eyes were now filled with concern. Oh his blue eyes, all I could think about was her.

Her blue eyes and the way they just stared at me in the elevator, as if she wanted me to do something. But I didn't know at that point. I just didn't. I didn't know she was hurting and I simply couldn't know a man like that lived only a floor beneath me.

The whole time we were filming, I couldn't stop thinking of that girl. I wanted to take her away from that man, make her live a life she deserves. Why was she even still with that man? I couldn't bear to stand the sight of her being with someone like that. I honestly had to confront her about him. He needed to be out of her life. I didn't know if I world tell Phil or not. But I just couldn't yet. I knew there was something different about this girl. But I didn't know what it was.

"Oh nothing, just tired." I smiled at Phil. He knew when I was lying but he sometimes never said anything about it. Knowing I would tell him with time. I just hope when I get enough courage to tell him, it will be with enough time left to keep her here safe.

"Okay, well if you need me for anything, I'll be making us some supper. Prefer Indian or Latin?" He turned to me, changing the subject knowingly. It was a hard decision. Phil was a good cook with both Latin and Indian food. I grabbed the fresh ginger from in the fridge and he grabbed the rest of the necessary ingredients to create his famous yet I didn't know what it was, Indian dish.

With Phil's cooking, you tend to eat the whole thing. He will make a big pot of carrot soup for us to eat for the week of business meetings and signings and making videos but you'll eat it for a bedtime snack. Making it almost impossible to have him have a break from cooking.

Phil said I have good cooking, but I know I truly don't. It wasn't the best thing in the world and I couldn't make anything within the limits that Phil does. He just makes food so good I literally lick the pan out when he's done.

As he prepared the meal, I sat in the lounge while watching some Game of Thrones before resting my head on the armrest, napping until supper finished.

Well today's the fifteenth and I get data tomorrow! Or midnight which I technically stay up until. And I updated the first part today and I had four reads within a minute. Like tf. I'm proud of it and even though these chapters are short I love them and I never know how else to end them for now.

One thing for the people who will be reading this:

i don't deal well with hate.

So if you do comment some stuff on here and it makes me feel uncomfortable, I will be removing it and blocking you. In sorry even though there will be somethings you pick (sorry Hanisnotonfire07  kinda streaking ur idea) the way it ends up is your decision. If the hate gets bad enough, I will stop updating for a while because it takes me a long time to get through stuff like this. Anxiety is extremely hard on me mentally and physically. I will literally sleep for days because of it.

But ily all and I hope your all good :)
