--------------------
Dan is just a 16 year old teen that is trying to make it in the world, trying to be accepted in his life. His dad abandoned him when he was young, but his younger brother lives with him. He doesn't generally know why people hates him
Phil is the 17 year old that likes to make Dan's life a living hell. He is quarterback for the football team, and he is very popular around the school. But maybe there's something in his life that is affecting him and the only way he knows how to take it out is on other people. That other person being Dan.
Dan doesn't know why Phil says the things he does, or acts the way that he acts. But he does know that if it doesn't stop soon that everything will be over. With the mix of school, bullying, and home situations he wants to end it.
At one point, he does decide to try and end it, but will the one person who hates you try their hardest to keep you alive? What feels like to torture you, but to cherish you? Who ignores you but has conversations with you? What is it like to have no one hate you? That's the questions that Dan asks himself, he never would know why someone could be so cruel but so damn pretty.

Depression//Phan
(tw: s*lf-h*rm, mentions of s*lf-h*rm, d*pr*ss*d scenes. May be triggering for some. Read at your own limit, please!) Phil Lester, a boy who's falling into depression slowly. And soon, his depression may end up falling to deep. He gets hateful and rude comments on his videos that he posts to YouTube. He even gets hate on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. What did he ever do to them? What did he do to deserve any of this?? His flatmate Dan doesn't know about Phil's depression, however. All he knows (thinks, rather) is that his best friend is staying strong through all of the hateful things he gets from people. But in reality, that's not what Phil is doing at all. He's not staying strong through the hate. He's just faking the smile for Dan so he wouldn't get so worried about him. Sure, Dan might be able to crack some real smiles out of him once in a while, but not every time. He also wears long sleeves and thick bracelets to hide the scars of his pain. He acts like his normal quirky, adorable, funny, weird self when making YouTube videos, when around his friends and family, when having a meet-up with fans (or just being around them in general), when out in public, etc. Phil hadn't told anyone at all about his depression. And he probably wouldn't anytime soon, either. His fans didn't know, his friends didn't know, his family didn't know, Dan didn't know... nobody knew. But one day, would people push him over his limit? Would Dan be able to save him in time? © 2016 by bluetroyee. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
