Chapter Two

Phil's POV
Hey! Just walking back from PJ's to catch a cab. He said he did not know what you needed from him. What was it? Send. I turned off my phone from texting Dan and peered down the street to see if there was a cab in sight. Nope. Well, I could walk... It is not that far... Smiling, I started the walk back to our apartment. Checking my phone, my heart sank when I saw Dan had not yet replied. I know I just sent the text, but Dan is always on his phone or has it near him. He answers the texts pretty quickly.

And yes, I was anxious. I did... Maybe have a little crush on Dan. Okay... More than a little crush. I like Dan. A lot. Not like he would ever like me back. No! He would not. We are just friends. We have to stay that way. I could never risk our friendship for a silly crush.

As I started to climb the stairs up to the apartment, a sense of uneasiness crept over me. Something was wrong. I did not know what, but something. Starting to skip every other step on the staircase, I unlocked the door quickly.
"Dan?" I called out. Nothing was wrong, Dan was here. We could maybe film a video for Youtube. Maybe even play some video games. But there was no reply. "Dan? I am home! Did you get my text?" I checked the living room and kitchen. Nothing. My heart beat faster. "DAN!" I was now yelling. Where was he? He was not in the bathroom. Not in his room. He was not in my room.

I pulled out my phone and called my first contact on speed dial. Ring. Riiiiing. 'Hi, you have reached Dan Howell. I can't....' I tuned out his voicemail message while my mind went blank. Where was he. He always answers his phone. Something happened. In the kitchen this morning... Dan seemed off. When he hugged me (Which was kind of strange, not that it was unwelcomed just... out of the blue), there almost seemed to be some type of urgency. Then Dan turned right around and practically ran to his room. I left. What was I thinking?! Leaving him? Something was clearly wrong. And I just left?! What type of friend am I? Staring at my phone, I hung up without leaving a voicemail. I could not... Just I needed to think. Maybe I was overreacting. He may of just... Walked out for a minute. Turned off his phone. Yeah.

I put down my phone and walked back into my room. I would wait an hour and if- Wait. What was that. A cream colored folded piece of paper sat on my bed. 'To Phil, My One And Only Lion'. My heart dropped. Whatever was in this letter, I felt like would be the last time I would hear of Dan in a long time.
I mean, people don't leave letters just to say that they went out to get the milk. Add this with how Dan acted earlier today, it just did not look good. I braced myself as I sat down on my bed and unfolded the letter with a pile of worry and fear sitting in my stomach.
