We're Broken People| Phan AU

Phil finally opens up his phone. He sees 38 missed calls and 76 texts from Dan. He sighs and scrolls through all the texts. Dan really does miss him. He feels lonely without someone else in the house.

He starts to go through all the voicemails and immediately regrets it. The messages are heartbreaking. Dan starts to explain why he loves Phil and how much he wishes he would come back. Phil starts to cry.

Phil wipes his tears and his thumb hovers the brights screen. He sees that Dan is typing something.

D: Phil are you there?

D: It says you read my messages.

D: I know you're there you sneaky little shit.

Phil hesitates. He starts typing something, but then stops and erases it all. Should he respond to Dan? It would be really awkward not to. 

Phil makes up his mind. He will.

Dan watches the little dots appear indicting that Phil is typing. They stop and start again constantly. Eventually, he gets a short text from Phil.

P: Hey Dan

D: Phil! You're alive!

P: Haha yeah

D: Are you okay? Your weren't responding to my texts for like 3 days..

P: yeah sorry about that. I kind of abandoned the Internet for a while, as crazy as that seems.

D: Well are you coming home soon?

P: Oh sorry I'll have to talk to you later, mum's calling me. Bye Dan!

D: Bye Phil...

Phil's mum wasn't really calling him, Phil just didn't want to answer the coming back question. Phil felt really guilty. Dan hadn't done anything wrong; he didn't deserve to be treated this way. But that seemed to be the way Phil was handling the situation.

Dan put his phone in his pocket and went to the bathroom. He started to straighten his hair. Negative thoughts surrounded him as he looked in the mirror. He had to go out today. If he wanted to feel better, he'd have to do things to make him happy, without Phil. (Agh Secrets is playing rn and it's the perfect song for this chapter)

Dan sprayed on his deodorant, (without spraying it in his eye) brushed his teeth, and threw on a jacket. He locked the door behind him and made his way to the tube. It was very crowded in downtown London today. Dan put his earbuds in and hit shuffle. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs by Fall Out Boy started to play.

He took a deep breath and stepped onto the train. He found a seat in the back where no one was around. Dan leaned his head against the cold metal of the wall and closed his eyes.

Eventually the tube stopped and Dan go off. He slowly walked up the steps and into the bright city. He really hoped he didn't bump into any fans right now. Yes, Dan loved his fans, but now was not the time. But of course, someone recognized him. He tried to look as normal as possible as the girl took a picture but he didn't smile very brightly. He hugged the girl and she waved goodbye. Dan felt sorry that she had to see him in the state he was in.

SING by My Chemical Romance filled Dan's ears as he walked into Starbucks and ordered a latte. His thoughts brought him back to Phil. He said that his mum was calling him. Phil must be staying at his parents place. He mentally notes to call Mr. and Mrs. Lester once he got home. He was sure they could explain something about Phil's actions. Dan needed answers.

You guys should check out Vianney. He's a French singe and he's great. Even though I hardly understand what he's saying, (because I don't take French) his music is really good. I recommend Je Te Deteste. (I Hate You) it's my favorite by him.

^ Well that had nothing to do with the story lol
