Dans POV
It had been a long time since I watched an episode of American Horror Story on the tv without Phil. Whenever we were to watch it, we would always watch it together.

Not by ourselves...

I slouched down into my sofa crease, reaching over to grasp the remote on the coffee table. As I turned the tv on, I switched to the DVD settings, and waited as the dvd started up for season 3.

My hunger roared, as my stomach rumbled over the theme of American Horror Story. It had been a while since I had Chinese takeout, and I craved the entire menu.

I ran over to the kitchen, taking the number off the fridge as I dialled it onto my phone.

"Hey, uh, could I please have the honey soy beef noodles?"

"O' course, if we could just have your name, number and address?"

I proceeded to give my information, as we exchanged 'thanks's, letting me know they'd arrive shortly.

As i walked back to the sofa, pausing the tv that had already started, now 2 minutes past the beginning, I picked my laptop off the coffee table, and lay it on my lap on the couch.

Just as I got comfortable, the Skype ringtone sounded around the room. I immediately clicked answer, when I saw who the Skype calling was coming from.

"Heyy, Dan!"
Phil smiled as his eyes reflected off the lighting in the room, his smile expanding as my webcam began to reveal me, sat waiting for the takeout to arrive.

"Phil!"
I almost jumped in excitement, I've never been away from Phil so long, I was far too excited to see him.

"What the hells gotten into you Dan?"
Phil laughed, as a cereal bowl came into view, and he began to stuff his mouth.

"Nothing, heh, just happy to see you, that's all"

"I'm soooo sorry, I didn't have much time to call! I've just been really busy, yeh know?"
I was so jubilant to see Phil once again, if only it hadn't haven't been on a screen.

"No, no!" I responded, trying to shrug it off, even though I've been dying to Skype Phil all week. "It's all good."

"Ahah" He laughed, as rain began to pour outside our apartment.

Poor delivery man,

"So, what have you been doing?" I asked eagerly.

"Oh well, I've visited a few places, it's really quite nice here! Especially the weather, can't compare to our great England weather, am I right?"

I laughed at his cuteness, It was nice to have a bit of Phil's sarcasm back, now that he'd been away for just over a week.

"So," I began, my eyes wondering all around the room. Why was I so nervous? "When are you back?"

Phil didn't need long enough to think about it, he instantly answered eagerly, like he'd been waiting for me to ask.

"I'll be back by tomorrow night!" He answered gleefully, " I can't wait to be home! I've been living off all the food here, it's nice to have our food though"

My blood began to rush.

"I miss you, Phil"

"Oh," he suddenly brought up, ignoring what I said completely, "You, er, know Katherine? An old friend who lives here?"

"Oh yeah, I remember"

My eyes starting tearing up, due to the fact phil didn't even recognise what I said before, and he hesitated after seeing it. What? He could even say it in a friend way? Even though I've loved him for years.

I wiped tears back a little, pretending to have itchy, sore eyes

"Well, we've been hangin' out quite often this week and,"

He stopped for a moment, then resuming.

"We've kinda started something, and she's moving over to England by the end of this month"

This could not be happening.

Who the f*** does this Katherine think she is?

I narrowed my eyes at Phil

"What do you mean you've 'started something'?"

"Well, we've been talking over Skype and online generally for almost a year-"

Wtf? I'd never even heard about this, why would Phil only tell me now? My breathing started to get heavy.

"What, so now you're practically dating?"

Phil started getting a little shifty and uncomfortable.

"Well, yea" he responded.

"Why don't you move in with her over there? I'll fucking ship,everything over for you!" I started yelling in aggression.

"What is wrong with you, Dan!?"

"Have you just forgotten about us? I mean, I know we aren't dating or anything but we've literally made-out, done everything together, you've...

You've told me you loved me"

Phil began to cry too, and he didn't attempt to hide it. Neither did I.

"I'll leave you to it, see you when you're back" I mumbled, tears streaming all down my face.

Then I heard a knock on the door.

"Order for Dan?" The man called.

A tear streamed down my face.

It hurts.
