Dan glared at the two entwined hands across from him. He tried his best to block out the sweet nothings that were whispered in the coupe's ears. He scoffed at one point but luckily the two seemed too infatuated with each other to notice. 

Dan glanced at Emily, sighing as her beautiful smile was aimed at Phil and not him. He wished he could make Emily that happy. Since she had started hanging out with them Dan had a huge crush on her ... but Phil was the one who ended up with her. 

Dan felt the jealousy rise like unwanted bile in his throat when he saw Emily curl into Phil's side. This wasn't the only reason he was mad, he was third wheel ALL the time. Phil was with Emily now, all the time and he never has any time for Dan, which hurt. Dan and Phil were tight but ever since Emily walked into their life it fucked up and quite rapidly.

Dan told himself he shouldn't like his best friend's girlfriend but emotions are a hard thing to control. He told himself he was happy that Phil was spending time with and looking after Emily and felt selfish when he complained about how lonely he was feeling inside. These things were tearing Dan apart and he needed a release and SOON.

He called PJ up, leaving the room so he wouldn't vomit at the sight of Phil and Emily snogging. He waited impatiently as the phone rang and let out a sigh in relief when the other picked up.

"Dan!" PJ replied excitedly. "That's so weird, I was about to call you! I'm here with some friends, you want to join us for a party? Phil and Emily can come too!" He spoke enthusiastically, clearly not completely sober.

"Sure man, that's just what I need. See you in a bit, your place right?"

"Yup, see ya!" With that Dan felt happy about the fact he could relax and drink with his friends without having these stressing thoughts. He walked back into the room, happy to see Emily and Phil weren't sucking faces.

"PJ invited us to his party, I'm going now. Do you guys wanna come?" Dan's voice was monotone, not actually caring whether they tagged along at all. He was fed up with them being so lovey dovey and sick of being alone half the time. He even considered moving out at one point but immediately reconsidered. Phil was still a big part of his life and eventually they might be able to sort something out.

Dan impatiently waited as Emily went off to find her bag and was left with Phil. Phil immediately noticed that Dan was irritated by the way his foot tapped impatiently and the frustrated crease in his brow. 

"You okay?" Phil asked. Dan wanted to laugh harshly. He thought this was probably the first time Phil had acknowledged him in a week. However, he couldn't be bothered to be interviewed by Phil.

"Just peachy." He replied wearing one of the fakest smiles he has ever pulled, the action raising suspicion in Phil. Something was definitely up with Dan and Phil was determined to find out what but before he could ask Emily walked out, shouting a 'ready'.

Phil noticed how quickly Dan was out the door and walked far in front of of Phil and Emily. Usually Phil would be listening to Emily and kissing her but he was concerned about Dan's behavior. He felt like he haden't actually talked to Dan in ages and a sudden wave of panic washed over him. Was Dan mad at him? Was he happy to be rid of Phil? Was he moving out? 

Phil felt guilt, panic and disbelief sink in and he felt like he was going to hyperventilate. He loved Emily, a whole lot, but Dan was very important and Phil couldn't believe how little he had thought about him in the last few weeks of Phil and Emily's relationship. Even though Emily was attached to Phil's arm, acting all cute and cuddly Phil's attention was on the back of Dan's head which was hung low on his hunched shoulder, clear misery in his posture.
