I was writing this story based on another story that I really liked. But I kind of forgot the title of it...

sorry if it's boring or my poor English (since I don't live in a English world) i still hope you could read it :)

It's my first Phanfic enjoy(?)

Dan's POV

I was just walking around the beach chilling. Kicking rocks randomly, walking beside the sea just to wet my feet for nothing, the worst was kicking little kids' sand castles. It felt good seeing their face twisting from joy to sorrow. Maybe I had mental problems...

My life was shitty lately, I'm not saying that it hadn't been shitty before, but it just got worse. My father had depression when mom died. Last night, he was drunk and got hit by a car and broke a leg. He needed to stay in the hospital for three weeks.

I slowly walked back home, I lived on the 19th floor in a small apartment, which is literally the highest floor. The shittiest thing was that there wasn't a lift so I had to walk up and down the stairs to leave or go to my apartment.

I opened the front door, climbed up the stairs to my room like a snake after arriving at the 19th floor. I fell onto my bed, feeling exhausted, what should I do anyway. I grabbed my laptop from my table and saw a Facebook message that my best friend Phil sent me.

I think the time machine is nearly done! I guess we can finish it tomorrow and try it out, what do you think? I'm so excited for this!

I smiled, Phil was always excited.

Sure, I'll come over tomorrow and try it out with you. Don't try it on your own! I would take your eyeballs out if you did. I know how much you like your eyes *smirks*

Noooooooooo! I promise I won't *puppy eyes*

Good

See you tmr

I smiled to myself, thinks were looking up weren't they.

Phil's POV

It was nearly done. I would wait for Dan to complete the finishing touches tomorrow and we would be ready to go! I was so excited! This was probably the first time machine in the history! This was so exciting! I couldn't wait!

I looked at the widows, it was all dark outside.

"What time is it?"

I looked across the room and spotted the clock.

"Ten already? I might as well go to bed, I need full energy for tomorrow! Let me see..."

I walked to my schedule book which I put on the table earlier.

"So I go to school with Dan first, and then bring him here to try this little baby."

After jotting down some notes, I went to my room to talk a quick shower and went to bed right away.

This felt so right.

I fell asleep with only Dan and the time machine occupying my mind.

Dan's POV

I lied down on my bed, wide awake. It was normal not being able to sleep, but it wasn't normal to have Phil floating around in my mind. This started not long ago. It was as if he were eating away my mind slowly and silently.

Phil and I had been working on the time machine for 4 years. I still remembered that we made this time machine to either change things from the beginning or just escape from the lives we had now. I mostly wanted to escape from my original life. It was full of fails, bullies, drugs and judgments. Most of all, negativity. It just seemed that nothing ever went right. But then I met this gorgeous boy, Phil.

He had just moved to London. That meant he was new at school. He was the first person there who talked to me and treated me as a friend. He didn't mind my alcoholic smell, my academic results, everything. I was like any other person around him. Not the broken Dan everyone knew.

He asked me if I was interested in science and technology one day. I thought about it, since I never paid any attention in class, I didn't know whether I was interested or not but I nodded anyway. That was where it all started. I didn't know what to feel about the success of building the time machine, or maybe the failure. I just don't know. But I was sure that Phil would either have happy tears or sad tears. With this, I closed my eyes and hope for the best.
