     Dan sat down on the foot of the second bed in the hotel room, tears still in his and Phil's eyes after that brief moment of silliness. He stood up for a minute, knocking over a lamp without warning, probably out of anger in himself for some reason. Luckily, the lamp didn't break. Dan sat back down on the foot of the bed. He took in a deep, shaky breath before turning to Phil. "I've actually, uhm... I've done what you did before," Dan said, biting his lip and looked at the floor awkwardly. He didn't know how to tell Phil, but just did. Phil turned to him abruptly. "Wait, what? When??"


Dan shot his head up at him. "So you don't remember my 21st birthday. The day you said you'd be there to have fun and drink my first drink with me? The day you.." he swallowed, choking back more tears. He was yelling now, and everyone in the other rooms were probably very confused. Fortunately, they didn't come knocking to ask. He took in another shaky breath, Phil waiting for an answer. "The day you ditched me to go with your friends instead of being there for me. I was just sitting there, waiting, but you never showed up, Phil. Never! I was sitting there for about 2 hours before I finally gave up on waiting and drank my first drink." Phil was in a total meltdown now. And Dan couldn't control the tears anymore. Phil fell to the floor, crying, sobbing hard. "You were always such a terrible friend!" Dan yelled. Phil needed to get away, run away, be away from everyone and everyone. "I... I'm sorry, Dan," Phil whispered. "I'm such a shitty friend," he whispered again, that time to himself. He rarely ever swore, but this was something he didn't care if he swore or not right now. Phil got up, throwing on his sweatshirt. He glanced at Dan, who was sitting on the bed, his head in his hands.

Running at full speed down the hall, he didn't care how loud he was being, if he woke up the people around him, even though it was like, 3 in the afternoon by now. He had to agree with Dan-he was THE worst friend and would never forgive himself for that. He didn't even think Dan was going to want to forgive him for all he'd done.


As he was running down the hall as fast as he could, (it was a LOOOOOOONG hallway), he bumped into two guys, and Phil and the guys fell on their butts. Phil stood up, and recognized the two immediately as Troye and Tyler. "Oh, god, I'm... so sorry," he said as Troye and Tyler got up. "It's alright. Phil, what happened? You look terrible," Troye asked, and Tyler agreed. "Oh, you know... stuff..." Phil said, looking at his hands, wiping away any excess tears he had. "Phil," Tyler said, and Phil looked up, his eyes red and puffy. "What happened? Tell us, please. We only want to help," he said to Phil, and Phil took in a deep breath. "Well, you see, Dan and I got into a fight..." he admitted, and a look of shock crossed Tyler and Troye's faces at the same time. "No way..." Troye said in a quiet tone. "But..." he had no words. "I never thought you two would fight," he said, still in a hushed tone. Phil immediately just started with tears again. "I'm such a terrible friend," he said to them both, a tear running down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away, and choked back tears. When they heard footsteps coming towards them, Phil turned around, as did the others. They eventually saw it was Dan. Dan and Phil kinda looked at each other for a while. "I..." Phil said, before darting down the hall, past Dan and the others.
