Phils POV

~ word count 987 ~

It's mid December and it's snowing outside. People are slipping and sliding on ice and we still have school. I on the other hand isn't slipping on the ice and I'm not even wearing soft snug clothes to keep me from the harsh winter. I'm automatically hot (not in that way) my body heat is unnatural because electric currents are going through my vains at all times. I thaw the ice with every step I take, I love watching it rush down the hill and then freeze again. It's calming.

I step through the school doors and watch my feet as I walk, the water leaves my shoes and makes small puddles as I walk. I look up and see unfamiliar posters scattered around. I see my friend Chris put suicide posters on the marble walls.

I go to my locker to put my stuff away, As I open it I hear papers rustling up against the metal of my locker. Sticky notes float down to the colorful floor, I lean down and grab one thats Christmas themed and sparkly.

I'm sorry about your loss We know you loved him we'll always be here if you need to talk.
- Chris,tom,Louise

I start rustling through the lovely written notes in panic. I stuff all the notes in my locker and slam the door shut. I march my way to pj who's talking with the janitor about the weather.

I grab his arm and drag him to my locker, I  push him against the light purple locker.

"What's this?" I grab a note that's stuck in the crack of the locker door. I give it to him and he reads it out loud. I didn't know what was on that note I just grabbed a random one in the locker but I still didn't want want him to read it out loud.

My eyes were filled with tears from all the notes I did read. What I read was that someone I loved died but no one said who, and why would they care that much about a loved one That they don't even know..... unlesss. I freeze as he reads the first sentence.

"Hey electric boy/philly Im writing this because I want you to know I love you a lot and I bet your wondering why I told pj to read this to you but..." pj read as he was leaning on on the black locker next to mine.

That was dan, the brunette boy that I was talking to the last 2 months, the dan that's smile could brighten the whole room and especially the dan that made me feel good about my powers.
I never knew he would just kill himself he seemed so... happy.

He continued to read but the words went through one ear and went out the other.

The only thing I did hear was the last sentence.

"I'll lay in the waters of this lake knowing that you will one day find me and tell me it's all ok" pj said in a monotone voice, then he looked up at me leaning my against the metal locker.

"P-j I- i" i stuttered.

Everyone was looking at us, some crying some laughing at the nerd crying over his boyfriend.

"It's ok phil it'll be ok I will help you through this.

Then my friends, pjs friends and even people I don't even know come over to me and hug me. Chris,Cat,Felix,tom and Louise squeeze me in a big hug and whisper nice things, but this doesn't stop me from thinking of dan and what I did wrong. Did I kill dan Howell?

After everyone stopped hugging me the bell rang, and everyone walked to their classes. I was walking to class with pj spacing out so I could get away from this stupid planet and join dan in my head. When we got to class I quickly asked pj a question.

"Hey pj how did everyone know that dan... um died but I-i didn't?" I said as I opened the door for him.

"I told your mom not to let you watch tv" he smiled at me as he walked in.

"Wait.... what! Why couldn't I see it! Why did you tell her! It was my business to find out on my own." I said as I grabbed his arm and pulled him back out of the classroom.

"No phil, Dan told me to not let you see the news" He said then walked back to the door to the classroom.

"What how!?" I yelled.

He turned around and grabbed me by the collar of my yellow shirt and said.

"Phil, he wrote me a letter to! Now stop asking questions! We are late." He let go and opened the door by himself. I stood in the empty hallway in shock. I then snapped out of it after about 6 minutes, and fixed my collar. I opened the door and walked in with my head down.

Dans POV

"One ticket to London please" I said.

"Yes sir, what brings you to London" he said as I give him the money.

"Oh I'm just going to see my grandparents" I said as I felt myself sweating under my shirt.

"Ok sir have fun" he smiled at me.

I took off my hood and whipped my forehead with my sweatshirt sleeve. I'm so glad he didn't notice I was the dead guy on the tv. I cant go back there.

I got on the train put on headphones and sat down for a 5h train ride.

I wonder if phil is ok, I tried to tell him so he could come with me but he never answered my calls. And I already left the note. I couldn't go back now, he knows I'm dead and he definitely doesn't think it's a joke.
