It was the day of my job interview and I was a nervous wreck, I had waken up at 5am due to nerves and I had been pacing around my room for hours. "Ahh! I'm so proud of you!" Pj squealed gleefully "I can't believe your going to your first proper interview!" I grinned, something about pj saying the words 'I'm proud of you' made me smile. "And you look so.. Formal" he was right about that, I haven't worn anything this formal since my grandmas funeral. Just before I could reply I got a text from the taxi service saying that they were outside "Tell the others I'll be back soon, I'll see you later pj and wish me luck!" I turned around and unlocked the door, I had butterflies in my stomach "good luck!" I waved him goodbye and started to walk down the stairs, maybe I will be able to get my life together after all.

Pj's POV-

I shut the door, I hope everything goes well for her. "Pj! What are you doing? It's like 7am!" Dan stumbled out of his bedroom, rubbing his eyes "I had to say goodbye to Y/N, she's going to her interview".

I walked into the living room and Dan followed me "pj, why is Y/N so.. Insecure?" I sat down on the sofa and thought about how I could tell him, Y/N has been through so much I didn't know how to tell him without overwhelming him. "Long story short, Y/N was bullied very badly" he sat down next to me "she would come back home in tears with cuts and bruises" I remember visiting her after school and having her cry on my shoulder whilst I tended to her wounds.

"She attempted suicide about 3 times? I stopped counting" he just stared at me, trying to take it all in "it kept getting worse and worse until I introduced her to art" I smiled, watching Y/N's art skills develop and evolve gave me such an amazing feeling. "As she got better at art she decided to go to art school, there she found a secure group of friends and happiness".

"But the damage those bully's inflicted left lasting wounds, she's never really been the same". We both fell silent, I don't think that Dan was expecting that "wow, she's gone through so much" I leant back on the sofa, I had just gone through possibly the most upsetting time in my life in a matter of minutes "she really needs this job, Dan". Without something to keep her occupied she would let her angst get the better of her "I fear what she will become without something to do".

Phil's POV-

I had been listening in on Dan and pjs conversation for a few minutes now and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Who would want to bully Y/N? She's so nice. "Morning guys" I strolled into the living room casually as if I hadn't been lurking behind the door "morning Phil" Dan stretched his arms out and pj gagged "eww Dan, have a shower for gods sake" I chuckled, Dan sniffed under his arms and screwed up his nose "I suppose I do smell a bit".

Dan was in the shower singing along to toxic by Britney Spears and I was in the living room with pj watching YouTube on tv. I really wanted to ask him about Y/N and why she was bullied but I think that it would be a bit weird. "So when's Y/N getting back?" He looked at me then at his phone "in and hour and a bit, I'm really nervous for her". So was I, the thought of Y/N coming back in tears crushed me, she is too nice for all of the shit life has thrown at her.

OooOooOoOOo. It's getting serious.
