after dan howell is diagnosed with depression, his parents seek him help - but not in the way he may have expected. he's partnered up with phil lester online, someone who supposedly knows about mental health, with one instruction: text him. ❝ amazingphil : i just wanna be your friend danisnotonfire: how the hell is that going to help me? danisnotonfire: i'm depressed, not lonely amazingphil : just you wait, howell. ❞ minor swearing. lower caps intended.

edit: hi so this story kinda sucks but read it if you want. ive grown as a writer and i would really recommend my other stories "Danielle, get those scissors away from your hair right now!" --Mentions of self harm--

You asked me if I was okay. I said yes. Why did I say yes, Dan?
