Phil's POV

Howell....was walking slow. he was waiting for me to catch up.

i have tear stains. at least my tears dried. i groggily walk to Howell. keeping my distance of course. "you know....we're going to have to stay overnight if we want to get the decorations up." Daniel hesitantly said. He stopped walking and turned to me, he had his hands clenched into fists. "so....you're going to stop your games and..and....not bother me." Howell stuttered. His curls fell onto his face and he let go of his tight fist position. He tugged at his own pants before turning back around.

"okay." is all i said.

Dans POV

I turned my back to Lester again and started walking forward.

"okay." he said.

no expression or tone came out of his voice. it was dead. it was just his voice. I had to hold myself back from asking if he was okay. I hate him with all my heart but i should still check up on him.

No. I won't.

I heaved out a heavy sigh. We eventually made it to the offices back doors, I'm already dreading having to spend time ALONE with Lester. I push open a door and catch myself leaving it open for him.

no thank you received.
ass.

Everyone had either clocked out or are getting ready to.

I see in the corner of my eye Lester talking to....oh what was his name? Oh! Pj!
He went to highschool with us...

"Pj, you're still not out huh? what you wanna get a little more change in your pockets?" Lester laughed, his eyes forming a smile of their own. Pj smiled before replying, "No Phil, if you just HAD to know what I'm doing here, I'm actually staying overnight to help you with the decorations, I feel bad and Louise feels bad too, same with Chris so....I guess we are helping after all."

mad.

that made me mad. It ticked me off. They're helping too?

Phil reached down to pjs belt and tugged on it. "you know, the color of the belt doesn't suit your outfit." Phil unbuckled the belt and took it off, all in one swift motion. Pj however had his cheeks turning a light red, as well with his nose and ears. "Ahaha, Phil what are you doing?" He asked taking his hand. "Getting you a new belt." And with that Lester took off to find a new belt.

I need to leave. I need a break.

"Hey Dan!" Pj smiled at me. That irked me. What does he want. "don't call me that." I grumbled. "oh..um sorry, anyways, I'm helping you so I thought... maybe we could—." Pj stumbled over his words before I stopped him.

I go over to my desk and grab my coffee cup. "Yeah no well, you thought wrong." I took a sip of it and sat down. "Anything you really need." I groan.

"i need your, companionship and teamwork?" It sounded as if he were begging.

I stared daggers at him. I rubbed my eyes and let out a groan. "fine. whatever."
