"Honestly, I'm scared... cause I know someone won't stop me from going crazy, not even myself."
.

I looked over at phil, feeling myself weaken as we made eye contact, I needed to comfort him, or at least get him out of here. For his sake it seemed like he needed it right now. Without saying a word I grabbed his hand and took him over to another room.

"Just stay here for a bit until they calm down, take deep breaths okay?" I spoke holding his hand and calming him down.

He took a deep breath, "I'm not a child, I don't need you babying me." He spoke suddenly as he avoiding eye contact with me. His voice seemed scratchy as if he was holding back from saying it.

Was this about more then just the argument? Does he think I still look at him as a child? I cursed under my breath and looked down. "Phil...I know you're not a child, but you've been through a lot, and it can have a huge affect on anyone." I began to say grabbing his hand and holding it tightly for reassurance.

He looked up at me and smiled, "t-thanks." He sniffled his nose like he used too. Yet before any further conversation could continue, I heard Chris yell loudly, "Let go of me!"

"Shit." I said under my breath quickly walking out the door and seeing what was going on.

Chris was sat on the floor and Dan was holding a gun towards him, I felt my heart race as I didn't know what to do in this situation. Dan didn't seem like he was going to back out from this one. Phil stood next to me, I looked over at him and he seemed as if he was going to explode.

His eyes were closed and his hands became fists. I wanted to speak but I couldn't as I felt if one more thing happened he would blow.

"Dan, put it down!" Chris yelled from the floor as his eyes were widened, fear behind them even though he hid it well.

"No, I'm sick of you trying to control me all the time, it's not happening anymore..." Dan said seriously as his finger went on the trigger.

I took a step back preparing for the bullet to leave the chamber but it was interrupted by Phil screaming, "PUT THE FUCKING GUN DOWN NOW!" He exploded yelling loudly which traveled throughout the whole room.

Dan, Chris, and myself turned are heads to face him quickly as our eyes widened in shock. I've never heard him yell like that, which surprised all of us.

His breath was quick and heavy as he took a step closer to Dan, "I am so sick of you killing everyone! What? Is (y/n) next? Am I next? I can't trust you anymore and besides them, you're the only person I have left to call my friend! So for two seconds can you cut the act and just STOP FOR ONCE?!" Phil began to yell as he grabbed the gun from Dans hand and through it across the room thoughtlessly.

Me and Chris exchanged worrying looks at each other as Phil's attention was mainly on Dan. Yet Phil looked like he was about to cry, and it seemed as if Dan felt too guilty to even say anything.

"Phil, come on...just cool off in the other room for a bit." I spoke while grabbing his hand and leading him to the other room. He looked so warn out and gone. He sighed walking into my room and shutting the door behind him, leaving me, Dan, and Chris by ourselfs.

"Are you two crazy?!" I spoke in a yelling yet whispering tone.

"I'm not the one who's trying to shoot everyone I know." Chris said getting up from the floor, making Dan scoff.

"Look all we need to worry about is if the police are onto us because of that bomb and-" dan began to say until I interrupted him.

"Are you serious? You just made your best friend almost have a mental break down and this is what you're worried about?!" I questioned sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes, "ill handle it later okay?  but this is what we need to worry about, this is our main priority!" He spoke walking over to the remote and turning the television on to the news channel.

'BREAKING NEWS' the television read again.

"Detectives have an understanding that the explosion was caused by a bomb that was placed in the water under neath the bridge. They assume the bombing was unintentional yet still are unsure." The news lady began to say reading the words off the monitor.

Dan sighed, "nothing of importance." He said as he reached out to grab the remote and turn the television off, until he paused hearing something come from the lady.

"In other news, detectives are still unsure about the patients who escaped rose Mary's asylum. yet have suspicion to believe they were possibly involved with this. Police are looking for a man around 6,3 with Brown hair,named Daniel Howell. Accompanied by a girl named (y/f/n). And possibly two other male patients. Police are still on the search as we speak, please stay safe everyone, and have a good night." She finished until the television cut off.

The room filled with silence which made me feel scared to even breath. Dan looking defeated and Chris not even knowing what to say.

"We're fucked." Chris exclaimed throwing his hands in the air out of frustration.

"We need to get out of here before someone-" dan began to speak until he was silenced by a knock at the door.

The room turned into dead silence, my hands shaking as we all exchanged worrying looks at each other. Who could it be? If it's the cops they could just kick the door open, and we would all get taken to jail. But they don't have any pictures of us, they might not recognise who we are, but should we risk that? Chris was right, we really are fucked.
