Beautiful

Chapter 3

Phil's POV:

"Are you kidding me, Dan?" I thought to myself, glaring at the floor. I crossed my arms and kicked the carpet. God forbid I hang out with other people. PJ just needed something. Yes I ended up hanging out with him longer than planned, but so? Dan could've handled my absence much better! It's not like I was the worse friend ever.

I tried to recall what events I'd been partaking in lately that would make Dan feel like this. At the beginning of October, Chris invited me to do a video with him. October 7th, I helped a friend move into his new house. October 10th, I went to the mall for some video games. I hadn't even thought of inviting Dan. The more I thought of how busy I'd been, the more the list kept piling up until tomorrow, October 24th, Felix's birthday. Huh...maybe Dan had a point.

I placed my body against his door. I didn't quite understand why. I just wanted to be with him in some way, despite the tension. This may seem weird but, somehow, I could feel him on the other side. I glazed down and noticed there was no longer light coming from the crack in his room, so I proceeded to mine and shut my door. This was just an argument. Tomorrow, it would be like nothing happened. At least, that's what I kept telling myself. Even though I was in the comfort of my bed, sleep didn't greet me well that night, but the worst part of it all was...

this was the first time in years I didn't say good night to him.
