Apricot had finally managed to wake me up from my nap and we were now sat on my bed about to call Dan to see what he needed from me earlier when he called apricot.

After a bit of ringing he finally answered "hey babe, what did you need?" Apricot started to make out her hand and whisper the words "oh hey babe *smooch* I love you babe" which really annoyed me so I started to like her stomach, making her giggle furiously. "Well you see the thing is, this isn't your fault by the way.. Chris is gone".

I froze up completely, dropping my phone onto my lap. This was all my fault, I wanted to start crying. "Phil? Phil what's wrong??"apricot stopped giggling and grabbed me by the shoulders, she tried to gain eye contact but I just looked through her as if she was invisible. "Chris has gone" I stated in a very distant tone, she immediately released her grip on my shoulders and hunched over.

"Hello?" I heard Dan calling for us from the phone so picked it up and put it next Timmy ear "I told apricot, we're both just not ok" I mumbled quietly, this was all my fault, I should've stayed round his house then he wouldn't have disappeared.

"Should I come round?" It would be nice to have Dan here comforting apricot and I but he needs to keep looking for Chris. "No it's all right, just keep looking for Chris" apricot suddenly placed her head on my lap and wrapped her arms around herself, she looked so upset so I tried to comfort her by stroking her hair. "Ok, I'll call PJ to see if he can give me a hand" that sounds like a good plan, we need to get Chris back.

"I'll see you later then, babe" I could hear apricot starting to cry a little bit so I needed to get off the phone soon to comfort her properly. "Ok, be safe lovely" then I hung up.

"Come on apricot, don't cry, Chris will be ok" I have no idea if he will actually be ok, I'm just saying that so she won't cry 'cause I hate it when people cry around me, it stresses me out beyond belief. "How do you know that?" She sniffled, I had to think of an excuse quickly. "Because Dan and PJ will find him, they are good at finding stuff" I held apricots shoulders and lifted her up off my lap and sat her up right, I am determined to make, not just he but both of us, feel better.

"Ya know what we're gonna do?" I looked into her now puffy, red eyes and tried my best to make a genuine smile. "We're gonna film a funny YouTube video, eat pizza, play video games and watch movies, sound good?" She wiped her nose with her wrist and smiled back at me, a few tears still falling down her face. "Yeah, that sounds good".

Before we could have fun we needed to wash our faces and blow our noses as all of the crying and snotty nosed had made our faces feel a bit weird. "Chuck me a flannel" apricot was stood by the sink with her hands outstretched in front of her ready to catch a flannel. "Ok" I grabbed one from the radiator that I was stood next to and threw it in her direction, she managed to catch it easily.

"Where do you think Chris might be?" She asked me as she ran the pale green flannel under the tap, making the stiff flannel turn floppy. "He might be visiting family, or he could've gone out to a bar last night and gone to a hotel instead of going home" he could be anywhere really, I highly doubt he's been kidnapped though. "True, maybe we should call Dan or PJ to see how their investigation is going" I'm not going to let her keep worrying about Chris, we're going to have fun and forget about it for today.

"Don't worry about it apricot, it'll all be fine" I joined her buy the sink and ran my own flannel under the tap water. "Just try and have fun"
