Chapter 13

Phil's POV*

I watched in shock as Phillip left the room, he looked so sad and lost. I couldn't help feel guilty. I had been worried sick about Dan all night ...

We were having a good time, a few drinks and a steady chatter. Suddenly Sarah waltzed into the place and she spotted me almost immediately.

Flash Back ~

"Well I guess." I chuckled as Dan laughed. We had been having random conversations all night and I was enjoying myself a lot. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Dan like this. 

"So Phil, if you could date anyone out of these five who would you choose?" Dan started, looking deep in thought. I already knew he was fairly tipsy and after another drink or two would be completely drunk. "Matt Bellamy, Billie Joe Armstrong, Dave Franco, Robert Downey Jr or me?" He grinned like a Cheshire cat.

My breathing hitched at the question, how would I answer that? I was slightly tipsy and couldn't completely control what left my mouth and I was on the verge of telling him I'd date him. My sober side felt panicked as I was about to let the words slip.

"Y-"

"PHIL!" I heard a girl shout from across the club. Dan and I frowned and turned to the entrance of the place. I felt my blood run cold when I saw Sarah grinning and waving at me.

"Who's that?" Dan asked.

"Sarah." I replied quietly although I knew he heard. I saw his features suddenly turn into a hard line and he turned back to the bar. 

"Oh."  Was all he said and took another swig of his beer.

"I'll be right back." I sighed and jumped off the stool and slowly, almost hesitantly, walked over to Sarah.

"Hey ..." I half smiled as I got near her.

"Aw Philly, you should have told me you were coming here. We could have met up before Friday!" She smirked and snaked her arms round my neck. I flinched at her action and went to tell her.

"Look Sar-" I was cut off with her lips smashing on mine. I was so shocked that I sort of stood frozen and tense for a moment before prying her away. She frowned at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Sarah, I can't okay? You're a lovely girl..."  *cough* yeah right *cough* "but I don't think there's anything between us." I cringed.

"WHAT? You jerk! Pfft, whatever, I fucked Kyle anyway." She sneered, probably hoping to get a reaction out of me.

"Good for you, goodbye Sarah!" I rolled my eyes and walked off back to the bar. I heard her curse and stomp off to god knows where but I felt relieved I didn't have to deal with her anymore.

I looked to where we had sat and tensed when I saw Dan had disappeared. I went into a state of panic but scolded myself and sat down. He had probably gone to the toilet or something. I looked at the fiver on the table next to his finished beer and frowned. He wouldn't leave would he?

Okay, I was panicking. I went to the men's room to check he was there but he wasn't I ran back to the bar, paid for my drinks and grabbed my stuff, running out of there.

"DAN!" I shouted into the street but it was too dark to see anything or anyone. I called his name over and over and wet off to see if he had gone to any other pubs nearby.

End of Flash Back ~

I went to Dan's room and peeked inside, relieved to find him fast asleep on the bed. Despite how rough and tired he looked he was still beautiful in my eyes. I was pretty shaken up with what Phillip had said. 

He seemed so hurt when I walked in the door. Hurt and furious. Surely me turning up later haden't caused him to snap like that? Did Dan say something to him? I gulped and closed his bedroom door silently and tip toed to my own room. I felt exhausted with the night's events.

I didn't have a single problem with passing out on my bed straight away.

---

I flushed and wiped my tired eyes, leaving the bathroom with a slight hangover. I sighed and plodded back to my room but hesitated when I walked past Dan's door. I heard talking from inside and decided to listen in to the conversation.

"Seriously Phillip, I'm so sorry about last night. I'm ashamed and disgusted with myself!" Dan's voice said. My eyes widened and I immediately opened the door.

"What happened last night?" I asked, my voice sounding colder than it had ever been before.

Phillip's POV*

I finished brewing some coffee and took a few paracetamol tablets to Dan's room. I felt slightly nervous when I waited around his bedroom door but I knew he's have a horrible hang over. There's a chance he won't remember anything and I think it would be less awkward for both of us if he did forget ... or at least pretended to.

I sighed and twisted the handle, and slipping into his bedroom. His curtains where shut tight and was clutching a pillow over his face and groaning.

"Hey." I whispered. He stopped groaning and dragged the pillow from his face, looking tired and in pain.

"Hi." He said with a hoarse voice. I gulped and placed the water and tablets on the table next to his bed. "Thanks." He smiled and took a sip. I walked over to the curtains and drew them open. I heard a sort of hissing sound from behind me and smirked.

"It's your fault mr vampire for getting so drunk." I chuckled. Then I remembered why he got so drunk, I wonder if he remembered anything. "What do you ..." I trailed off, not sure if I should ask. "What do you remember from ... last night?" I gulped, looking terrified.

I saw a look of sadness wash over his face as he glared into his mug. "I remember being with Phil and kissing Sarah ..." He growled.

"Yeah, you told me about that when you came home by yourself." I pointed out. He nodded and took a sip of his water before his eyes went wide and he sprayed the water out his mouth. He looked wide eyed at me as realization crossed his features.

"I'm so so so sorry Phillip! Really I am, I was SO drunk and upset and didn't know what I was doing! I'm sorry, please-"

"Dan ... it's okay." I sighed and leaned against the wall.

"No it's not, I made you cry!" He spoke up, looking disgusted.

"You were drunk, I don't blame you! I spoke to Phil when he got in though. Did you hear anything? We were talking pretty loud." I tried to change the subject. I was scared in case he had heard our conversation. I wasn't in a good place last night and all the pressure was building up on me, today I promised I'd try be as normal as possible.

"No, I don't remember anything after you left ... I was out like a light ." He sighed. I nodded and relief washed over me. "Seriously Phillip, I'm so sorry about last night. I'm ashamed and disgusted with myself!"

Before I could reply Phil burst in the room with a cold look on his face, "What happened last night?" He asked, voice harsh.

Dan and I both stayed silent and in shock as we both eyed him in surprise.

"H-how long have you been listening?" Dan stuttered.

"Only just now. What happened last night?" He repeated.

"It was a misunderstanding and it's over now so just drop it." I snapped, still feeling surprisingly mad at him.

"NO! I WANT TO KNOW! Are you hurt Dan? Why did you run off?" Phil asked, worry washing over him. Dan scowled down at his lap.

"It doesn't matter, leave it. Like Phillip said, it was a misunderstanding and you DON'T need to know." He snapped. Phil looked taken aback.

"Was it me?" He asked, looking disappointed.

"Just forget it." Dan sighed and swallowed the paracetamol. I stood up and slipped out the room, but halfway down the hallway I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I turned round to see Phil with a worried expression.

"Is he alright?" Phil whispered. He looked truly worried. I felt the anger slowly drain from me and I smiled.

"Don't worry he's fine. He wasn't hurt or anything ... I'm sorry about my outburst last night too. I wasn't exactly in a stable mood!" I muttered sheepishly.

"It's fine, you were right and I'm sorry. I was so worried when he disappeared, I honestly wasn't kissing Sarah. She kissed me and I told her it was over between us. I was in such a panic when I couldn't find him!" Phil admitted.

"Look ... just tell him." I smiled. He looked terrified at the idea. "It doesn't have to be today ... but just tell him! He's more of a wimp in this universe than he was in mine ... so if he does have feelings for you why don't you be the one to speak first? You'll never know unless you try, it won't ruin your friendship. I promise you." I grinned.

"O-okay ... just ... not today!" Phil was as white as a sheet and gulped.

"Haha okay." I laughed and left to the nerd room for some more sleep.
