EPILOGUE

"Come on Erin please come back, I'm sorry!" The tall boy cried out into the cold dank alleyway.

The girl turned around stopping him dead in his tracks, an inch from his face, "I loved you Dan and you took advantage of me! You're a jerk and I can't stand being around you anymore! You thought that you would get away with everything you did and I'd just be okay with it- welcome you home when you arrive like a love sick puppy? No! I'm not going to! Not anymore!"

She stares at him with no forgiveness as he thrashes to tear away the mental barrier she has made around herself. He reaches for her but she turns on her heels only looking back once to study his features and remember the good times they had shared.

"Bye, Dan." She whispers as she slinks away into the darkness leaving the boy to sob into the cool midnight breeze.

1 YEAR LATER

" Phil, come on! I left one drawer opened can't you just close it yourself?" I yell into my bed sheets.

"No!!! You have to close things for yourself or else you'll never learn." He yells back.

"I'm not a dog Phil!"

I hear footsteps and Phil's head pops into my room. "I beg to differ."

"UGHHHH" I slither out of bed and stumble towards the kitchen drawer that I left opened and shut it with a loud bang.

"Happy?"

"Delighted."

My name is Dan, Dan Howell. I'm 20 and I'm a college dropout. I decided to leave around a month ago when I realized I hate law and everything to do with it. Now, I'm a full time youtuber that lives in Manchester with my best friend Phil (He's the one who was just on my case about the drawer in the kitchen.)

"Oh, Dan we have to go out of town today to go and get some stuff for our videos also so be ready in around 2 hours?"

"Yeah, okay." I agree.

***

After I've had my shower, quickly straightened my hair and bundled up into my winter jacket, I feel I'm finally feel that I am finished getting ready.

"Phil? You ready?" I call from downstairs.

"Yeah, almost! I'll be right down.... just gotta get my wallet...." He trails off.

" Well hurry up!"

Next thing I know I hear Phil barrel down the stairs like a herd of elephants. "Ready."

***

"Oh, Phil I'll be right there I just want to get a coffee first."

"Okay get me one while you are there!" I hear his voice in the distance.

"Alright!"

I stumble into Starbucks, still sleepy only to collide with a girl just striding out of the shop, spilling her coffee, soaking her shirt.

" Shit!" She exclaims. "Hot! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" I screech. Her voice is familiar... strangely familiar.

She looks up. It's the one and only, Erin.
