Phil's POV
It's been a couple days since Dan first heard about his aunt.
He's acting kind of weird. He's distant and almost seems like he's upset with me. I really hope I didn't do anything wrong.
I sat at the kitchen counter eating a cup of noodles when Dan came out to get food too.
"Hey"
He didn't answer. He didn't even look at me. I could see that his eyes were puffy though. He had been crying. I decided to try again.
"Dan, please don't avoid me."
He turned to me but didn't speak. When he looked away for a moment I could see he was starting to cry again.
"I'm planning a visit soon. My mum says that doctors are expecting the worse. When I leave I don't know when I'll be coming back." His voice cracked as more tears streamed down his face.
I got up to hug him but he shrugged me off and backed away.
"don't pitty me." He turned towards the hall and started to his room then stopped.
"I-" he started to speak. "Never mind."
I sat back down and put my head in my hands. I knew how much his aunt meant to him.

Later, I was laying in my bed watching stranger things. I looked over at my clock and it was almost 3 a.m.
I need to go to sleep.
I got up to plug in my laptop and take off my jeans then laid back down and tried to get some sleep. After about 15 minutes of laying there I heard my door creak open.
"Dan?"
No answer.
He walked to the bed, got in the covers, and rested his head on my chest. He rolled to his side to put his arm around me.
He still didn't say anything and neither did I. I wrapped my arms around him and he scooted closer to me, his chest pressing against my side. Eventually we both found sleep.

When I woke up Dan wasn't in my arms anymore. I remembered how it felt to have him in my arms, it made me smile.
Oh no, do I like him?
What if he doesn't like me? What if he was just upset and didn't want to be alone?
No matter how rejecting he was during the day, he came to my room almost every night and cuddled with me for a little over a week. The nights he didn't come in, I missed him so much. I did like him and it felt like he was just toying with me. When he left to visit his aunt, I missed him more than ever. It felt like I was missing a part of me.
I tried to tell myself to calm down but I couldn't. I tried to tell my self that Dan and I aren't even together but I still missed him like hell.
***
While Dan was gone he didn't even text me at all. About 6 days had passed and I haven't heard anything from him. He was active on his social media so I knew he was okay but I missed him more and more everyday.
I overthought everything that had happened. The hugs, the cuddles, even the hand thing. I just wanted to know if he liked me. I know it would be obvious if he wasn't upset..but he was. Was he just acting thoughtlessly? Did he just need a shoulder to cry on? I questioned everything.
I hung out with Zach a few times and I got to know his girlfriend more but whenever I went home, the apartment felt empty. I missed hearing "Hello Internet" coming from his room. By this point, Dan had been gone for about a week and a half. I wondered why he wasn't texting me. Was he mad at me? I really hope not.m
I need to stop over thinking.
