Nobody's P.O.V

Dan isn't the ordinary teenager. He doesn't enjoy parties, drinking, or big crowds. He's different from everyone else. Nobody ever said he likes being the way he is. Dan feels lonely all the time, and he has no friends. He's sad, and he believes there's nothing he can do about it. Therapy isn't working, his dad isn't helping, and the anti depressants don't do much.

On the other hand, Phil is happy. He brings cheer to those around him, and he brightens everyone's day with a smile. Nobody ever remembers a day in their life where Phil was ever sad. Phil also doesn't like parties, drinking, smoking, or very large crowds.

Nobody's P.O.V

Dan's alarm goes off at 6:00am. He slams his hand over it. He didnt get any sleep last night. He never gets sleep. He spends his nights with his mind clouded with thoughts. No matter how much he tosses and turns, he is never able to sleep.

He looks over to his phone, not like he was expecting a text or anything. He sighed at the time, and got up from his bed.

Dan's room wasn't the most "happiest" as some people would say. The only colors that were in his room was his fairy lights surrounding his bed frame, and a stuffed llama his mother gave to him. His bed sheets are black and dark grey, and his walls are white. His closet is filled with black clothing, and maybe a light shade of black if you look hard enough. Dan doesn't really prefer colors, but nobody knows why.

He walks over to his bathroom to start his morning routine. This usually starts out with him brushing his teeth, and straightening his hair. He prefers it straight more than his natural curls. His mother called it "hobit hair".

Dan finishes what he's doing in the bathroom, and he walks over to his closet. It takes him about an hour to choose what he wants to wear. He doesn't want to look like a walking trash bin at school. He knows he's not the best looking, but he wants to at least not look a mess.

After about 30 minutes of Dan choosing what to wear, he ends up picking something simple. His black ripped skinny jeans, a black jumper, and a beanie to add on to it because why not? He slips on his black vans, and he walks down the stairs.

His dad isn't home so Dan decides to make himself a small, quick breakfast that will keep him full until lunch. He grabs the pancake batter from the cupboard, and he begins to make pancakes for himself. While the food is cooking on the pan, Dan pulls out his phone from his back pocket. He opens up Tumblr, and starts to scroll through the feed. The pancakes finish cooking, and he puts them on a paper plate.

He brings his plate over to his living room, and he turns on the TV. He scrolls through the channels, and he stops on Spongebob Squarepants. Dan continues to eat his pancakes while watching Spongebob.

Dan finishes his food, and he throws out the plate, and fetches himself a glass of orange juice and gulps it down. He tosses the glass in the sink.

Dan doesn't need to be to school until 8:30. He still has at least an extra 15 minutes. He walks over to his dad's room. He looks around the room at all the pictures of his family, Daniel, his father, and mother. While looking around, Dan finds a small picture hidden in a sock drawer. He takes it out and examines it carefully. Its a picture of Dan and his mum. He looks at the picture, and puts it in his pocket.

Dan walks downstairs and out the door to walk to school. It was only about a 5 minute walk, so it didn't bother him. He usually walks alone. With the sounds of cars passing by, and the sounds of his feet on the pavement, Dan finds it a bit relaxing almost.

He walks onto school grounds and sits at the tree he always sits at. Nobody goes over there, its always quiet and almost peaceful. Nobody ever tried talking to Dan, so he would aways plug in his earbuds, and listen to music. The music always seems to clear his mind, and its a time where he can actually relate to the lyrics being thrown at him.
