Chapter 7: Questions and Answers

October 22nd 2009
Phil's POV

Ever since I met Dan I couldn't stop thinking about he's uncle and the tragic accident he faced. He's poor aunt and cousin and what's even more weird is that they live 20 minutes away from where I live!
Life can be cruel sometimes, taking innocent people's lives. But was dan's uncle innocent? I mean the guy must have had a reason to attack him, or was the guy just insanely drunk and stoned? This couldn't leave my mind.

I got on computer and typed in '2006 attack'.

But all it came up with was just random stuff so I then typed in: '2006 James howell attack'

I was shocked towards what I found.

'On the 25th of March 2006 James Howell and he's year old son; Archie howell, where walking from Tesco's when they where attacked by a 24 year old man called Benjamin cox who attacked the man with a metal pole hitting him over the head. Originally, the was meant to hit the son but James Howell threw him to one side as he took the hit. One blow to the head knocked him down as the man ran but was soon caught by the police that was called by a young woman walking her dog who saw the commotion. Cox will face life in prison.'

I was speechless. Dan's uncle saved his cousin and suffered a horrific attack. I mean, I know it's really none of my business and I don't want Dan to think I'm only interested in he's uncle and he's backstory. Because I'm not, I liked Dan because I thought he was funny and cool I don't care about he's personal life, even if it was constantly playing in my mind.

I shook my head to remove my thoughts and closed my laptop shut and slumped back in my chair. I sighed loudly as I got up and walked downstairs. My mum was in the kitchen reading the paper while my dad was reading 'War and peace' at the kitchen table. "Hi mum, hey dad" I said grabbing a glass of Ribena. "Hey sweetie, everything okay?" My mum asked, putting down her paper and looking at me as u sat down. "Yeah, is it ok if a have a friend over on Friday?" I asked. My dad closed his book and took off he's reading glasses, "Have we met this friend son?" My dad said, "No. His name is Dan and he's a youtuber, he's really nice, you'll like him" I smiled.
My dad looked at me then sighed, "Is this okay with you darling?" My dad asked looking at my mum.

"Okay Phil, if your sure. We would love to meet Dan." My mum smiled at me.
"Thanks mum, thanks dad" I said getting up and walking off to my room.
I went on Twitter and asked the people that followed me to pick a song for my day in the life music contest. I saw loads that suggested panic at the disco!, fall out boy, muse and Britney Spears.
I mean, I love them all. But I thought I'd try something new. I then realised that dan tweeted me a suggestion.
@Danisnotonfire: how about check yes Juliet by we the kings?

I smiled I had heard that song play a few times and it sounded pretty good. I decided to reply back to him:

@Amazingphil: sounds good, I might use that song. :)

I closed my laptop and laid on my bed facing my wall of posters across my ceiling, so many thoughts rushing through my head.

Does everybody know about dan's uncle?
Is it a big secret, but then why did he tell me?
I shouldn't keep it from him?
Bu would he want to hang out with me again after snooping?
Was I wrong to do that?
Maybe I should tell him, but he might hate me!

I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to pull these thoughts out of my head. I needed to tell Dan about this. I can't keep it to myself.

I texted Dan and told him I needed to Skype and that it was important. I opened up my laptop and saw that I had an incoming call, I breathed in heavily before pressing answer.

" Phil are you okay what's wrong? I got your message saying you needed to talk because it was important" he sounded worried and that made me feel even more guilty.
"Erm, Dan there's something you should know." I said. Dan's eyes widened but gave me a confused look. "Um ok what is it?" He asked tilting he's head.
Phil lester your a fucking idiot, get ready to be screamed at.
I breathed out heavily. "Dan I googled your uncle and read about what happened and I shouldn't have done I'm so sorry and I get it if you don't want to be friends or see me again because I was a jerk and I shouldn't have been snooping because it's your private business and you shouldn't have told me in the first place and I didn't understand why you wanted to is it a big secret? Or is it just-"

"PHIL LESTER!!!" Dan shouted through the web cam but was smiling. I instantly shut up. "Phil it's not a secret and I wouldn't blow off an amazing guy like you, and I don't hate you and it's not really private if it's all over the Internet." He said laughing. I laughed slightly too but I was still a bit shaken. "So are we ok?" I asked chewing my lip nervously.
Dan laughed, "of course we are you massive dork!" He said giggled. I sighed in relief, it still felt wrong to go through that stuff but at least I knew we whee cool and that he didn't hate me. "Hey Phil I have to go now, but I'll see you friday" Dan smiled.

Wait! He still wanted to meet at my house and possibly film a video?! "Yeah sure see you then" I waved goodbye and so did Dan as the screen went black. I shut my laptop and smiled.

I don't think I've ever met anyone like Dan.
