Before I start I just want to mention that this chapter was just really difficult for us to type and plan.. :((

*Phil's POV*

I texted Dan two simple words, "I'm sorry" I didn't want to leave him, but I was just dragging him along in my problems, his life is finally better and my shit life will just prevent him from being happy. Dan deserves better than me, he deserves happiness in his life and it hurts me to think about how he will react to this but he will understand.

I wanted to escape from everything, from Ben, he just always made me feel bad about myself, he abused me and there's no way anyone will believe me about my dad and help me get him out. I couldn't out Ben to anyone, they'd put me in foster care I didn't want that I'll be alone that way. I sat on the ground and just kept crying, I really wanted to get out of this mess I tried getting up but was in so much pain but I forced myself onto my feet and walked to the kitchen. I pulled out a knife and then went to the bathroom and grabbed a bottle of pills before heading to my room. On my study table sat a picture of me and Dan, I picked it up and started crying again "I'm so sorry Dan, I love you" I whispered under my breath before setting the picture down and grabbed the knife and took a deep breath before making deep cuts in my left arm, I made at least eight cuts on each arm, it hurt like crazy but there was something really soothing about it. Putting the knife down I kept crying trying to calm myself, I can't back out of it now and walked towards the table again to grab the pills, I felt light headed and fell too the ground I groaned in pain but got up again and grabbed the pills, I opened the cap but before I could take any they were snatched out of my hand. "D-dan?" was all I was able to say before I blacked out.

*Dan's POV*

"Dan? What's wrong?" My dad asked me as soon as I got home "Uh nothing dad" I lied to him, he didn't seem to believe me at all "Daniel, please don't hide anything from me, I want to help you" he looked really worried "Dad, everything is okay" I hated lying to him, things are finally okay between us i didn't want to lie. "My friend Derek, who's a police officer told me that you and Phil have been down at the station a couple of times, to visit Phil's father" I stood in shock "Tell me what's going on" before I could say anything my phone rang but stopped ringing before I could answer it, it was Phil, I wonder if he's okay maybe it was an accident? "Dan?" My dad was still waiting for an explanation "Dad, I can explain.." my phone went off again this time it was a text from Phil which simply said "I'm sorry" no, I had a bad feeling, this can't mean what I think it means "D-dad I'm sorry I need to get to Phil's there's something wrong" I was crying now my dad took my phone and read the text he looked worried to I was about to run out the house but my dad stopped me "Dan wait!" Why is he stopping me he saw the text!? "Dad something is wrong! You cannot stop me from getting to Phil!" I yelled. "Let me drive you there you'll get there faster" he really did just want to help me, I nodded and we both got into the car.

It took us about 5 mins to get there, the front door was open "I swear if Ben hurt him" I said "why would Ben do that?" My dad asked "I will explain later dad, you look for Phil downstairs and I'll look upstairs" I said running as my dad followed me into the house. I ran up the stairs and opened Phil's room door and froze at the sight, Phil with cuts all over his arm and blood dropping, bruises on his arms and face opening a bottle of pills, I ran and snatched the pills from him "D-dan?" he said weakly before passing out I caught him and fell to the ground "N-no no, Phil.." I was sat on the ground holding my unconscious dying boyfriend with his blood on my white T-shirt "HELP DAD HELP" I cried I heard my dad run upstairs "DAN ARE YOU OKAY..Oh my god" my dad whispered "I-I found him he was about to take these pills I stopped him but he passed out" I cried "Dad call an ambulance please" my dad walked up to us and picked Phil up "No it'll take too long, come on get in the car" We got in the car and I was sat at the back holding Phil and crying "Stay with Phil, p-please I-I can't l-lose you" My dad drove as fast as he could but I was so scared for Phil's life "Dad please drive faster please!" I cried "Daniel I'm driving as fast as I can,please stay calm for Phil's sake" he kept his eyes on the road I saw a look of worry in them. "please Phil! Stay with me! I need you" i cried. We reached the hospital and my dad carried Phil in we both shouted for help at the same time "WE NEED HELP OVER HERE" the doctors came running with a stretcher "What happened!?" The doctor asked "H-he tried killing himself, p-please just help him" I cried and they took him in. I took a seat and my dad had his arm around me hugging me as I cried "Daniel! What happened!?" My mom came running looking at us full of fear, dad and I both had Phil's blood on us. My dad told her what happened and she sat in shock and just hugged me as I cried. Hours later the doctor came "How is he?" My dad asked and I stood up "He's in coma" the doctor said "But I can assure that he will wake up, he was beaten badly and lost a lot of blood. You guys might have just saved him" the doctor smiled "C-can I see him?" I asked, my voice was shaky "Not just yet I'll let you know" the doctor said before walking off. "Daniel, I think you should tell us everything now" my dad whispered.
