His baby was dying in his arms and he couldn't do anything. 

Dan could only watch the life draining out of his beloved with remorse filled eyes. 

How could he have let that happen? 

It was all his fault. 

How was he going to live now?

"Your phones dying, not your best friend Dan", said Zain, rolling his eyes at the unnecessary dramatics.

"What's the difference?" 

Dan hardly felt the whack he had received upside his head. A camping trip for three days and his phone was dead not even halfway through the journey? How would he listen to music? How would he snapchat the scenery with the location filter? 

"There better be a difference you c*nt" laughed Zain as he handed his best friend a portable charger.

Dan looked ready to kiss the dark haired boy sitting next to him. He quickly plugged in the charger, happiness filling him as the screen came back to life.

The journey was much better from then. They decided to play Guess The Song. It was quite simple. Zain would choose any song from Dan's library and Dan had the first ten second's of lyrics to guess the name of the song. The game went on for hours, it was fun to play, but soon they're points were equal and they had a tie breaker round.

"If I win, you have to set up the tent while I relax and the opposite if you win" suggested Dan.

"I doubt I want to camp in a tent made by you, it would probably collapse and bury me alive, but I accept" 

As it turns out, Zain was able to guess Dan's chosen song, Adventure of a Lifetime, and it was soon Dan's turn. If he guessed it right, they would still be tied, if he didn't he would lose.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the-

"That's it, come on Danny boy, any guesses?" smirked Zain, knowing he'd won. "I think I'm going to enjoy watching you do all the work."

"Okay okay no I know this, it's coldplay or something, it's really old, I haven't heard it in years." Dan was trying to think, but it just wasn't coming to him.

"Five"

"Uhm okay, it's coming to me, don't count down"

"Four"

"This gives me anxiety can you not"

"Three"

"How are you even my friend"

"Two"

Dan groaned and leaned his head against the seat in front of him. He suddenly heard a soft voice whisper sharply, " It's Numb you idiot, Linkin Park."

"One"

"It's Numb by Linkin Park" Dan shouted causing half the bus to turn and stare at him.

"God damn it, I could almost taste the sweetness of success" 

Dan's victory dance, which was weird because he didn't actually win, was cut off by the bus screeching to a  halt. It let out a hiss and the big door in the front creaked open. Immediately everyone's eyes turned to the window. A cheer rolled up from the kids when they realized the three hour bus ride was over and they were at Camp Lakeside.
