Phil does not turn up for school the next 3 days. He is afraid of telling his friends about his bad news so he decided to tell them individually, at different times. He made sure to tell them not to tell anyone, under any circumstances, definently not Dan! Phil has told Pj and Louise and is meeting Chris this afternoon to tell him. The group of friends suspected nothing of the news Phil has or is going to give them. With it being so sudden and huge Pj and Louise were both so devastated to hear Phils news, but still kept it quiet for Dan's sake. Phil had planned a special way to tell Dan, a way where hopefully, if everything goes to plan, it won't break Dan's heart so much.

"Hey Phil, what's up?" Chris smiled, walking up to Phil in the streets.

Phil cuts straight to the point with no hesitation, just wanting to get it over and done with.

"I'm moving to America in a few days" he blurts out, not making any sort of eye contact with Chris, keeping his eyes glued to the ground.

Chris couldn't believe it, his mouth open wide with shock and disbelief. Not wanting to believe Phil, but when has Phil ever told a lie?

"Why? You can't... Dan!?" Chris questions unable to mask the note of hurt and panic in his voice.

Phil looks up, finally making eye contact with Chris, his eyes filled with hurt and tiredness from not sleeping for the past two nights, haunted by the thought of what could happen when he was to leave England.

"I don't know" Phil lies "but give this to Dan. Don't tell him what I told you, he needs to hear it from me, not anyone else. He won't believe you and he might have a mental break down which is what I'm trying to avoid!" he explains to Chris with his raspy voice.

Chris takes the note from Phil's pale hands and places it in pocket. With silence Phil simply just walked away without a goodbye, too hurt to say anything else, wanting to save all the energy he has left for Dan.

Chris gave the note to Dan as soon as he could, not wanting to let Phil down. Dan takes the note with no hesitation once he heard his lovers name, he read it aloud;

Dear Dan
Meet me at the park that is in the middle of town tomorrow after school, don't be late I miss you.
Phil Lester <3

Phil had planned to end everything where it had all begun...

Dan's POV
Chris had given me a note at school today from Phil telling me to meet him in the park in the middle of town, which is very unusual as he hasn't been to school since our date. My mind has been going crazy thinking that I have done something wrong, did I take things to far? I didnt do anything different than we normally do, and surely Phil would have said something, maybe that's why he wants to meet me here? Maybe he wants to end this relationship...?

I walk into the park thoughts still running through my head but is interupted when my eyes roll over Phil's tall skinny figure sitting on the bench under the oak tree in the centre of the park. I slowly walk up behind him and wrap my lightly tanned arms around his neck, hands falling onto his chest, making him jump. He looks up and smiles. He is paler than normal. He looks horrific like someome has drained all the colour and happiness from the frail body in which it used to be located.

"Hey." Phil says,  turning around to face me, looking at me with his sad eyes reflecting through his glasses

"Hi, you okay? What happened?" I ask, still frantically scanning him for a bit of happiness ,which I don't find.

Phil drops his head, covering his face with his hands before shaking his head. Phil's hurt. Who hurt him? I will kill them.

"Phil? Please tell me" I say, taking his hands away from his face " I will kill them. Say a name a I-"
