He was Dan Howell, a full time youtuber and a university drop out. She was Lia, a trainwreck living in London. When two very different but yet very similar worlds collide, does everything fit itself together or fall apart? follow my twitter for weirdness: @zoeishere

Phil doesn't have a best friend in his life. That is, until Dan turns up at his school. They become close and Phil finds out that Dan has a twin brother, but hates to talk about him. It's not until Phil comes over to Dan's house that he finds out why.

Dan is forced into going to a summer camp in the country side of Britain, his mother feels Dan is irresponsible, and would only be getting drunk and fucking about if he stayed at home. WRITTEN 2013. (I have since, gone through and attempted to improve on it).

*In the process of being edited, first two chapters done already.* Dan and Phil met in the looming forest behind the school grounds and have been infatuated with each other ever since. With many twists and turns, their stories are becoming more complex by the second. They say a smile can save someone, but what if it killed them instead? *This story is not in any way based on events that have occurred in either Dan or Phil's past, and is completely fictional. Phan is also claimed to not be real.*

Five days ago, Phil found his best friend bleeding to death. Triggers: attempted suicide, self harm Author note: Based off of the song Skinny Love. I prefer the Birdy version, but Bon Iver is the original artist. I suggest listening during reading. If you enjoy, become a fan, vote, and comment any ideas you have. :D

Phil starts getting cute, little messages from a secret admirer and gradually feels himself falling more and more in love with the boy. But can you really like someone you've never seen before? And what will happen when Phil finds out the real identity of his admirer?

Phil's life was perfect up until a year ago when he came out to his parents. They disowned him and sent him to live with his sexually abusive Uncle. To make things worse he was forced to go to a public school and meet new people, he had little confidence and was bad at making friends. He occasionally uploaded videos to YouTube but he wasn't very well known. His videos allowed him to let his feelings out to the public, but they weren't exactly sincere. His life was falling to pieces, and it wasn't getting better any time soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan's life had always been perfect. He was popular at school, got good grades and his parents adored him. However he wasn't very good at meeting new people. How's he going to react when a new kid arrives at his school? Dan has a secret. A secret nobody knows about, not even himself. His life was perfect apart from this tiny thing that had been constantly bugging him ever since he started High School. He wouldn't reveal it would he? No. That would ruin his life completely, or would it?

Sometimes, hiding things isn't the best idea. Sometimes, dreams do come true, and not always in the best way. But everything happens for a reason, right?
