Death Of A Bachelor (Phan)

12. Hallelujah 2

"All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah (hallelujah!)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah (hallelujah!)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (hallelujah!)
Say your prayers" - Hallelujah

Dans POV

Today was supposed to be a bit of a challenge. There was only a total of six guys left including phil and I. I was starting to realise that the show was slowly and inevitably coming to an end. The thought made me shiver as I turned to gaze at phil as he was listening to today's instruction.

We were going to have the camera crews all over us tonight as we had to complete an obstacle coarse clad in black suits. It sounded ridiculous and I'm sure Zoe and Ellie were just doing this for a right laugh. No one could prepare us for this and the winning prize was a one on one date with Zoe. To be honest the thought of the prize didn't seem too appealing to me and I don't know why until I saw phil looking eager for the competition. Although I bet he would look nice in a suit.

Phils POV

We were taking out to the coarse to have a look before actually getting into our suits and completing the challenge. As we went outside we discovered that not only did it cover the whole yard (which was the size of a football oval) it was also covered in mud puddles and obstacles. The boys laughed while dan looked a little frustrated, I knew he was just worried about his adorable hobbit hair though.

I looked at the boys again, Marcus was the most athletic of all of us but he didn't seem very happy today. I asked about it earlier and he said something about his ex-girlfriends birthday. I felt bad for him knowing this could possibly make him lose the challenge today.

Ellie gave the instructions to us and told us to immediately go inside to change, because "the cameras will be here any moment now". We all went inside, dan and I going to our room to find the suits already laid out across the bed. Dan shuffled awkwardly before laughing a little bit and taking his suit to the bathroom to get changed.

I decided there was no point in waiting for dan to come back out, so I just got changed in the bedroom. I was checking my fringe in the mirror when I caught a glimpse of dan behind me in the mirror. My jaw dropped, he looked absolutely flawless. Dans hair was tussled to the side like normal but a little spiked at the top and his suit fitted his body with such perfection, he looked like an angel. (Really phil?)

I think he asked if I was okay and I just stuttered back a response that hopefully meant yes, I was more than okay. We heard Ellie calling out to us from outside again, man she has a loud voice. Dan and I hurried outside to see that we were the last ones to get there of course. I looked to see that at the barricades, some of our friends and family were there. I waved to my mum before following dan to our places.

The race was about to start and we had all gathered at the starting line waiting for he countdown. The boys deemed tense, dan was even Chewing his fingernails in anxiousness. I could feel the cameras directed at us as Ellie was saying her introduction. The race was about to start in

GO!

We all darted forward with Marcus in the lead. I was right he was VERY athletic. We had all ducked and dived over the first part which had been a simple "over and under" coarse, we had done this very easily but we still had another 2 segments to go. This coarse was extremely tiring itself and the weight of the suits really dragged us down.

The second part involved swimming through a whole pool of mud to reach the next task. I was coming second last and I knew swimming wasn't my strongest ability. I jumped in right after dan and tried to keep up but couldn't quite do it. Alfie was behind me struggling even worse, so without double-thinking it I turned and helped Alfie out of the mud with me. Even dan noticed our struggle and turned to help as well. The three of us went to the last obstacle, hearing our families and friends cheering out our names.

We looked to see Caspar had finished first on the other side with Finn right behind him in second. I look around confused only to see Marcus had stopped in the middle of the last part and was looking over to the barricades. He we staring at a girl who I assumed was his ex and was too distracted to notice us overtake him in the tyre pit. Dan, Alfie and I finished together in third place, meaning Marcus was most likely the one to go home.

Ellie ended this section of the show before going to check if Marcus was okay. He nodded to what she was saying before he went inside with a series of emotions plastered across his face. The girl from the barricades ran inside after him a few moments later, looking very distraught. I turned to ask dan what was happening, as if he knew more than what I did, but we noticed Ellie making her way over to us.

Ellie explained that his ex came to correct things with Marcus and he was confused on what he should do. We all knew where his heart was that day and knew that he was going to be next eliminated because of the challenge. Marcus ended up accepting this fate later that night and needless to say, he ended up going home and rekindling things with Niomi.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••A/N: Hey guys! So I suck at updating, there's no need to tell me, a certain Megan character already does that. Anyway so much has happened since the last update, especially since SPOOKY WEEK has been the last few days. I actually love it so much.
I've had a lot of writers block recently but don't worry guys, it's fine I got this. I have written down the whole plot for the rest of the story so it should be easy to write from there on. Anywhale I should go bc it's nearly midnight.
Lots o love,
Elisaveth ❤️
