Okay. Upload will take a longer, Why did I put 'upload' ??? Anyway it's gonna take longer bc I'm editing my other chapters for mistkaes in grammer and typos and stuff. Dan has conversations inside his head wich you'll see. It's him and his demons talking. I think you'llknow which on is which. Uh- okya. Start reading I guess.

Wow I'm awkward.

SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!

Dan thought.

Why did I say that?
I'm not gay
I'm straight!
S
T
R
A
I
G
H
T

Right?
Maybe not
Did it even mean anything?
Am I over reacting?

A voice taunted. Again. Dan mentally rolled his eyes. He's been trying to figure out his sexuality for years. Constantly going against everything. It was hell really, but those thoughts went away for a little while, and it was just suicidal thoughts and all of that other 'fun' stuff. Now it's back, and Dan blames Phil.

So you're gay

No.
Yep.
Seriously shut up.
No.
NOT NOW
Why not?
LATER!
Okay.

Dan studied Phil. Phil seems to be blushing a bit.

"Thank you Dan." Phil said.

Dan gave opened his mouth to respond, but decided not to. He shut his mouth and gave Phil a closed mouth smile.

They were interrupted. Again. By none other than Daniel's mother. Dan groaned Phil laughed, stopping when Dan shot him a glare. Phil still smiled though, doing the ide of the mouth tongue thing. Dan answered.

"DAN HOWELL WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" She yelled.

Dan decided to be smart with her. Really she didn't care so it was fun for Dan to se her reaction. "Watch your profanity." Dan warned calmly. "And besides you never said for me to go home." Dan responded shrugging. You could almost hear her trying not to strangle Dan through the phone.

"Get. Home. NOW!" Dan could tell she was gritting er teeth. She hung up.

"Love you too!" Dan replied sarcastically rolling his eyes. Dan turned his head over to Phil whose jaw had dropped. Phil stared at Dan, unsure of what he just witnessed. "C'mon Phil." Dan motioned him to the truck. His 'cloud nine' feeling dropping; drastically. Phil noticed, Dan's features slowly made their way into a straight face, Dan looked sad. Dan was sad. Phil looked happy, but Dan knew he was sad; when your best friend died s couple days ago you can't be this happy, he's just trying ot be strong for Dan. Which Dan knows of course, but he wants to know Phil, not the mask he puts on just like everyone else.

"So...." Phil trailed off snapping Dan to reality and away from his thoughts.

"So..."

"Am I taking you home?" Phil asked. Dan though for a moment, then shook his head. "Dan you're gonna get in trouble." Phil commented.

See.
Phil wants you to leave.

"I'm not a kid anymore I can handle my mother like a big boy." Dan snarled causing Phil to look down.

"Okay." Phil whispered heading to the car, slightly hurt by Dan's words.

"Wait." Dan called Phil running up to Phil and grabbed his fore-arm. "I'm sorry. Really really sorry." Dan apologized. "That was uncalled for on my part and it was rude, an-"

"It's okay. Don't worry about it." Phil commented. Dan blinked at Phil, shocked.

"Oh-uh-okay. Er- thanks..." Dan replied stuttering.

Phil smiled. "No problem." Phil started walking away leaving Dan, who is still shocked, standing there.

"Phil?" Dan tried to grab Phil's attention, but he just kept walking. Dan, not wanting to be left out or left behind, ran to Phil's side. "Phil." Dan said putting his arm out in front of Phil so he would stop. "Where are we going?" Dan asked.

Phil looked Dan almost liked he was confused. Phil pointed ahead of him "To the car...." Phil trailed off.

Dan you stupid shit where else would he go?

Dan nodded and followed Phil getting into the car and putting on his seatbelt. Phil followed behind starting the car and driving away from the tree, from the stars, and for tonight, reality.

"Where are we going?" Dan repeated his question.

"You'll see." Phil told Dan. Dan was reminded of the other day when he said that, first day they met technically. Dan smiled at the memory. He was not expecting this. Dan felt his eyelids get heavy.

DAN STOP
NO SLEEPING
IT'S BAD

Oh yeah... Bad.

Dan didn't particularly like sleeping, h was terrified of it really. HE kept drifting for a minute then waking up, seeing that only a minute passed by when it seems like he was fighting sleep for hours. This cycle continued for a while, Phil had noticed.

"Dan go to sleep." Dan shook his head. "Please?" Phil pleaded.

"Okay...." Dan mumbled giving up.

Stupid.
Good job.
No wonder why everyone hates you...

The voices had faded out as Dan did what Phil told him to do. He slept. but little did Phil he was ending Dan into a literal hell. Dan didn't believe his dream. He had always feared this dream would come back and haunt. His first thought was:

I thought this nightmare was over.
