Dan sat alone on the edge of a bridge. He couldn't stop his tears, which meant his face was red and puffy, but he couldn't really find it in him to care.

He didn't know if he cared about anything anymore.

Blues, reds and yellows were faded and dull instead of vibrant and beautiful. Dan guessed it was because of the heartbroken feeling he had.

And it was Phil's fault.

Phil wouldn't cheat, would he? There had to be an explanation. There had to be. Phil wouldn't do that, would he?

Was Phil really that shallow?

Dan didn't know about things anymore. Part of him wanted to try and run back to his home planet, but the other part knew that he couldn't leave his friends like that without saying a word. And seeing them probably meant seeing Phil as well. And Dan wasn't so sure about that.

Dan was hurting, and sitting on the edge of this bridge which held a lonely road was one way Dan could try to deal with the hurt. Being alone was what he needed.

Dan let a shaky breath pass through his parted lips. He didn't need to cry anymore. He needed to stop being weak and stop the tears for good.

He wiped his face with his sleeve and stared off into the horizon.

Suddenly, there was a presence behind him, and Dan turned angrily, glaring, ready to tell the person (whoever it was) to leave, but when he saw she was crying, and looked surprised to see anyone there, he softened his gaze and patted the spot next to him.

She shakily sat down and wiped her tears, only for them to keep falling.

"Are you okay?" Dan asked her, watching as she shook her head. "Wanna talk about it?"

"I don't even know your name," she said a bit harshly, but Dan knew she didn't mean it, deep down. He could read people so easily and tell their feelings and true intentions right off the bat.

That's what confused him about Phil.

"I'm Dan, Dan Howell," he said, looking away from the girl. She sniffled and her eyes softened when she noticed Dan's red and puffy face, indicating he'd been crying.

"I'm Sam, Sam Gunn," she said softly, wiping her face.

The sun was beginning to sink in the horizon as twilight took over the sky. The two sat in comfortable silence for a bit.

"Look, I don't wanna talk about my problems here, but if you wanna come over, my mum's making dinner," Sam stated, getting up and brushing herself off. Dan looked up at her and nodded, getting up as well, and the two set off to Sam's house in silence.

Phil felt terrible.

He and the boys looked everywhere for Dan, but they hadn't found him. They were worried and tired and they didn't know what else to do.

PJ thought that they'd find him when he was ready to be found and was getting ready to go home, but Phil thought otherwise, and wanted to keep looking.

Chris obviously took PJ's side and agreed with him, but Tyler and Troye were being indecisive, not wanting to upset Phil, but too tired to keep searching.

"I think I'm going to go home," Tyler said quietly, and Troye nodded, wanting to go home as well.

"Me too," he added.

Phil felt anger coursing through his veins. "You all are giving up?!" He shouted rather loudly, causing the others to jump, startled. "You're not gonna fucking help me find him?!"

The others were taken aback by his outburst, but mostly his swearing.

"What do you want us to do, Phil?!" PJ exclaimed, aggravated. "We've been looking all day and have turned up empty handed! There's always tomorrow, you know!"

"Fine!" Phil yelled, turning away. "I'll look for him myself." And with that, Phil stormed off, leaving his mildly ticked off friends behind.
