Nobody's P.O.V

On the other hand, Dan's morning didn't go as well as Phil's. His alarm goes off, and he shuts it off. Dan wasn't able to sleep for another night. As Dan pulled the covers off of himself, his body ached. He cringed at the pain in his back, and jaw.

Dan couldn't show his pain, so he got up slowly, and bit his lip trying to hide his pain as he put his 2 feet on the ground. He walked to the bathroom slowly, and he got a warm bath set up for himself. As dan took off his clothes, he looked at himself in the mirror, and almost cried at the view. New and old bruises covered his body, all big and small. Dan got in the bath and just sat there. He looked at the ceiling and felt warm tears fall from his eyes.

He tried not to blink, so the tears wouldn't fall, but Dan couldn't keep it in anymore. He sobbed his chocolate-brown eyes out. He felt so hurt, physically and emotionally. He started to shiver at the thought of his father coming into his from yesterday.

Dan got out of the bath and put on a new pair of clothes. A black T-shirt and a black jacket. He also picked out a black pair of ripped skinny jeans, similar to the ones he wore yesterday.

Dan walked down the stairs, and a strong smell of beer filled his nose. He looked over at the couch, and he was relieved to see that nobody was there, and that the door to the house was open. His dad wasn't home. Dan cleaned up the mess his dad left behind of beer cans, and bottles and threw them out.

Dan opened his cabinet to get out a box of cereal, and poured it into a bowl. He sat down at the table and ate it quickly. Dan felt his phone vibrate, but he didn't feel like answering.

Dan cleaned his dirty dishes, and headed into his bathroom again. He started his daily morning routine. Dan noticed that he had slight bruising on his jaw. He got out of the bathroom for a brief moment and walked into his mum's room. He hated to wear makeup, but he had to cover up his problems so people wouldn't worry. People...? More like Phil, if he even wants to be friends with Dan at all.

Dan starts walking to school. Dan kind of feels like school is his escape, aside from the people who bully him and shove him into lockers. Dan arrives at school, and sits in his usual spot under the tree. Dan puts in his earbuds, and closes his eyes. He listens to the lyrics.

I ponder of something great. My lungs will fill and then deflate. They fill with fire, exhale desire. I know its dire my time today. I have these thoughts so often-

Someone pulled off Dan's earbud, and he looks up. Phil was holding a pizza box, and some drinks.

"I got your food like I promised!" Phil says happily, and takes a seat next to Dan. People around them started to stare, or look at Phil in disgust. Nobody liked hanging out with Dan. Everybody thinks he's weird, and odd. People whisper and point in the distance, but Phil ignores it. Dan points to everybody laughing and judging them, and Phil just laughs.

"Dan, why should you care what they think of you?" Phil asks, but the only answer Phil received was a blink. "The things people say about you probably arent even true. Who cares if you get judged? We all do! We just learn to ignore it as we grow older" Phil says confidently to Dan. It's true, but Dan gets bullied everyday. He can't avoid that. It always puts him down and it doesn't leave any positive thoughts to roam around him at all.

Dan grabs a slice of pizza, and begins to eat it. Phil does the same. Dan smiles at Phil, gesturing a thank you and Phil smiles back at him with a mouth full of pizza. Dan leans his head back on the tree, and continues to eat his pizza. When he looked back at the box, there was only 1 more slice left. Dan looked at Phil, and his mouth was filled with pizza. He tapped Phil on the shoulder and looked at him with an eyebrow raised. Phil's cheeks flushed red in guilt as he ate all the pizza.
