  Daniel James Howell is a 17 year old, who has recently started making videos on Youtube. He  has met many friends on this website including his best friend Phil Lester, aka Amazing Phil. Phil  had way more subscribers than Dan at the time, he had more than 4 million subs! Dan thought that this Youtube thing was going nowhere and that he was never going to be big one day. But he put that thought aside. 

  Dan and Phil were inseparable, they would go everywhere together, and even share an apartment. Many times Phil would get stopped at restaurants, shops, etc. The fans would only ask for a picture with Phil and never Dan. It did hurt Dan but he was good at hiding the pain. Dan did suffer from a mental disorder at the time, depression it was. But one day Dan woke up and told himself that he had enough of all this. He was going to become famous one way or another, no matter what it takes to become this. 

  Phil was trying to make some delicious pancakes when he heard Dan running down the stairs rapidly and slammed the door. Phil was confused and worried but continued to bake. Dan walked through the streets of London, trying to find some inspiration if what could make him famous. It was taking forever it seemed to him, like there was nothing at all in stored for him. Dan decided to buy a coffee from Starbucks to relax a bit. He checked his phone it was already 9pm. Dan then grab his coffee that was a pumpkin spice latte, because why not be a bit festive for fall when you are emotionally drained. He decided to sit at a table next to a window, with no one near him. He wanted to be alone, but the he heard someone shout his name from across the room. He stood up to see who it was and it was Phil looking deeply worried.

Phil: Dan? What are you doing here this late? Why didn't you tell where you were going? I was worried sick! And you didn't even bother to pick up your phone. Dan are you okay? Is there something wrong, something you need to tell me?

Dan: Phil I'm sorry I just needed to get out the house and get some fresh air. I need to have some time to myself, away from social media, family, friends, and you. I didn't even think to bother to look at the time. But how did you know I would be here?

Phil: Oh, well after you left I decided to come looking for you after i finished my pancakes. You see after your last appointment with your therapist, I got a call from them that maybe you shouldn't be left alone at all times. So I went all around London looking for you. I thought that you being all alone in this big city that you could hurt yourself. It was getting late so I thought i would get some coffee to energize myself.

Dan: I'm glad to here that you were worried about me, but I'm fine now.

Phil: Promise?

Dan: I promise.

They both sat down and drink their coffees. Phil was just really happy that he found Dan and that he wasn't hurt. Dan kept looking out the window wondering if he will be able to impact this world in some way. But then Dan saw a man dressed in all black, in a dark alley with a gun, threatening to kill a teenager. Dan quickly ran out of the coffee shop without hesitation to try and save the teen. Phil quickly ran after Dan not knowing what was going on. 

Phil: Dan what's goin....

Dan: Sush.... Please just stay here.

Phil: No...I'm coming with.

Phil followed Dan as they were about to enter the alley way, but the man didn't hear them as his backed was faced to them. The teen saw Dan but said nothing as he knew it could kill both of them. Dan quickly took the gun from the man, and pointed the gun to the man's forehead. Phil stood back as he was afraid of what Dan could do with the gun. The man looked shocked and wanted to make a run for it, but then Dan pulled the trigger and fired. The man in all black fell to the ground. The teen in tears hugged Dan and thanked him. Phil was amazed at Dan's bravery. Polices and news reporters then started to surround them. Everyone was starting to tell him that he was a "HERO". Dan smile at the thought at the thought of being called something big like that.

 But Dan looked at the gun very closely, and it made him grin a bit. The feeling of holding a gun, hearing it fired, and it killing someone, anyone, made him feel...happy. He didn't mention it to anyone, he just continued to smile at the cameras. But he knew this was just the beginning of his story.
