Dan Howell is currently struggling with life.
nothing on earth seems to be helping him.. Of course, adding the loop of regret and pain he feels on a day to day basis.
One fateful day, Dan comes across a complete stranger named Phil. Suddenly, with Phil by his side things begin to look up for Dan!
Phil would often find Dan on his window ledge staring at the pool of darkness above.
The raven haired boy begins to notice Dans state of living and promises he won't rest until He sees a smile of his new friends face.
Little does Dan know, Phil has another side of himself. A side he doesn't show to strangers. A side where he could climb mountains, brave seas and even break into fairgrounds (*wink*).
Dan isn't buying it. Maybe Phil just has to prove it. And so, he shall.
