Phil had become quieter and more reserved. He seemed to have a shadow over his face. He spoke less and didn't each much at meals but Dan would often find him stuffing his cereal and chocolate into his mouth.

Dan, on the other hand, had been bouncier than usual, almost completely forgetting the tragedy of losing Phil only a month before and accepting him as part of his life again. He almost always looked happier now.

"Are you okay Phil?" Asked Dan once dinner time as Phil picked at the food on his plate.

"Yeah," sighed Phil. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Asked Dan concerned.

Phil looked up at Dan, his eyes sad. He looked at him for a minute. "Yes," he said.

Dan bit his lip, looking at Phil, worried.

"So," asked Phil, clearing his throat and looking up at Dan again. "How's Chelsea?"

He was lost. Lost under the sheets and blinding lights again. His nightmare was reoccurring. Dan cried out into the silence, white noise filled his ears in response. He couldn't wake up. He was suffocating- their were hands on his face, squeezing, pinching, he felt blood in his mouth. He was screaming out for help. His hands were searching frantically as he thrashed about. He felt fingers deep in his throat. He cried out, blood spewing up his throat as all over him- his nose was blocked with more fingers.

"Dan!" He woke up sobbing in Phil's arms. Phil climbed in bed with him, holding him in the dark. "Shush, Dan, it's okay, it's okay. You're okay," hushed Phil, holding Dan close to him. Dan cried into him, letting his emotions pour out after the vivid dream. They stayed like that for a while until Dan finally shifted comfortably into Phil, letting him hold him like that.

"Are you alright?" Whispered Phil concerned.

"Yes," whispered Dan. His breathing was deep and even now and he liked the feeling of warm Phil's body.

"Dan," whispered Phil softly into the silence. His hands slipped through Dans hair, wiping the tears from his skin.

But Dan was asleep.
