 We hop on the train. I cover my neck with my shirt. I look over at Dan, who's staring at me." What?"

       " Seriously?' He giggles. " You're that insecure about it?"

       " Well, kind of," I look at my feet. " Also if i take my shirt down people will start handing me money."

       " Really?" Dan whispers, giggle a bit.

       " Yes," I smile. " Watch." I remove my shirt from my neck. I walk to the bathroom.

       " Miss? here," An older woman hands me 20 pounds.

        " Oh, no no thank you," I smile and walk into the bathroom. I pee, wash my hands, and walk out. I giggle a bit when i see Dan's mouth wide open. i plot down next to him. " Told you," I cover my neck again.

        " That pageant thing's in like 2 days you know," He whispers in my ears. " They gave us 2,000 dollars for clothes for you."

       " Shopping spree!" I say in a high pitched bubbly voice. Dan just shakes his head and laughs.

     ~Three hours later~

     We hop off the train and run to the hospital. I was gifted with speed, Dan on the other hand wasn't.

          " Get on my back!" I giggle, and squat.

          " No!" He giggles.

          " Get on meh back!" I scream causing everyone around us to look up. Dan blushes and jumps on my back. I run. 

          " WEEEEEEEEE!" Dan laughs as people look at us like we're crazy. We make it to the hospital at 1:57.  I look at Dan, smirking. I grab his wrist and we run to the elevator. I look at my phone. 30 seconds. It dings and we run to the desk.

         " I'm here for a Ms. York." I pant.

         " patient ?" She asks.

         " No appointment." I pant. 

          " Oh, follow me." She smiles. Dan and I follow her into a little room. She motions for me to sit down. I reach into my pocket and pull out 2 pieces of gum. I hand one to Dan.  The doctor walks in, smiles and sits in front of me.

          " Can I ask for the fine sir to leave?" He looks at me, then Dan. I look back at Dan.

          "  No," I say. " He's moral support." 

          " That's so cute! You two look like a perfect couple!" The nurse coos. 

          " Oh, we're not a couple," Dan turns scarlet. I look at my feet. 

          " OK, Elizabeth. Ready?" The doctor asks. I nod. He tips my head back. I'm looking up at the ceiling. I can't do this.

           " NO!" I panic. The doctor signs.

           " Elizabeth if you don't stop i'm hold your neck up myself!"  I don't move my neck and cross my arms. The doctor pulls out this wooden table, sticks it under my chin. I can't move. I tense. Dan puts his face over mine, smiling. He blows a bubble with the gum. When he tries to pull the gum back in his mouth, he fails dropping it on my face. He laughs , picks it up, and puts it back in his mouth. I hear the doctor drop the tweezers. My adrenaline starts to speed up, I grip my hands on the chair, tears pool in my eyes. I close them. 

          " It's OK," Dan whispers in my ear.  I begin to shake as I feel the thread unravel   from my skin. " it's OK El," 

         " Done Ms. York." The doctor takes the table away. I open my eyes. The doctor looks pissed. " I could have done with out the pout though."

        " I could have done with out you being a prick," I look him in the eye.  I see Dan out of the corner of my eye  laughing silently. " Goodbye doctor Dick." I scoff. I walk out the door without another word. Dan walks behind me until we reach the elevator. I keep a *I will knife you if you look at me* face on until the elevator door closes.

        " Holy Shit El!" Dan gives me a high five, I gladly except. I smile as wide as can be.  The elevator door opens and we step out. " I'm going to go to the bathroom before we hit the streets." Dan smiles and disappears around the corner. Someone taps on my shoulder. 

       " That was amazing." The nurse from before smiles. " That doctor is the biggest dick you'll ever meet." She laughs.

      " I didn't catch your name," I smile. " I'm Elizabeth, but call me Ellie."

      " My name is Anna." She smiles. 

      " You look young," I say. " How are you a nurse?"

     " I'm 22, I have an internship." She explains. " Hey, Were you OK back there?"

     " What do you mean?" I say.

     " When I said you and your friend were a cute couple, you looked down," She looks concerned.

     " He has a slut for a girlfriend and won't believe me." I frown. 

     " Oooo, that's ruff." She smiles reassuringly. " Hey, I got to get back, but here's my number if you ever need to talk." She hands me a piece of paper with numbers sprawled across it.

     " Thank you," I smiles up at her. She scurries back to the elevator.

     " Sorry," Dan comes up behind me. " The guy in front of me took a massive dump." I laugh at his gesture. We walk to the train laughing. 

 ~ Phil ~

   I walk out of the house right after Dan and Ellie left. I'm not staying with that whore. I walk around London for about an hour. I reach in my pocket for my wallet.

      " Crap," I mumble to myself. I remember my keys and Phone but for get my money. I sigh. I walk back to the flat disappointed in myself. I open the door quietly. I don't want to startle her. I hear a guy scream from Dan's bedroom. I look at my phone. They're still on the train. I should leave, this isn't my place to tattle. Yes it is! he's your best friend and his girlfriend is having sex with another guy in his bed!   With new found confidence, I tip toe over to Dan's door.  I put the video on. I stand in the doorway to film what was going on. They're both naked, in Dan's bed. Dan's bed. Candy looks up at me. She jumps out of the bed, completely butt naked.  I close the video app and haul ass to the door. I run up the stairs and into Ellie's thankfully unlocked apartment. I slam the door and lock it. I pull up video and see the video. I mail it to Ellie and Dan.  I take off my shoes and slip into her bathroom. I look for Advil.

     Click.

   My eyes widen, remembering I had  Ellie's house key on my ring, that I dropped running up here. I try to push the door back, but there's no use. I fall back, for two's weight is stronger than one. Candy and her guy friend storm in, with only undergarments on. 

        " Phil give me your Phone," Candy looks pissed off.

        " There's no use," I smirk. " I already sent the message." Her eyes widen.

        " Adrian," She look over at the guy. " Grab him." Before even a thought about running struck my mind, he had his arms around me. 

        " You can't kill me," I snarl at her. " What's the sense in this?"

        " Text both back saying it's a joke." She hisses.

        " I'm not going to let you break his heart." I spit. 

        " You can't do anything about my friend breaking your face." She smirks.
