This is a songfic to Twenty One Pilot's Friend, Please. This song has a special place in my heart<3

Enjoy.. also.. please don't cry too much. (I may have shed a few tears when writing.)

TW: Suicide :/

Phil's point of view

I stared at Dan's door with a blank expression, unsure whether to knock or just walk straight in. I could hear Dan's sobs from my bedroom, despite how much he was trying to hide them. I decided to knock, just to be on the safe side, but Dan's broken voice just made my heart crumble.

"Phil, please leave me alone. I want to be alone right now." Dan muttered, his voice slightly muffled. I shook my head to myself, knowing Dan's past, and slowly pushed the door open.

I feel for you but when did you believe you were alone

"Are you okay?" I stupidly asked even though it was obvious that Dan had been crying.

"I-I'm fine. Now go." Dan was lying and I knew it. I could only wished that Dan would come to his senses sometime soon and realise that he wasn't alone. I was his best friend and I was always there for him whenever he needed me, for whatever reason.

You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home

Where light once was

Petrified of who you are and who you have become

Dan pulled his knees to his chest whilst all I could do was watch. "Dan, please.. Speak to me." I bent down onto my knees so I was at Dan's height and held out my hand. "I'm always here for you."

"They're back." Dan's voice was so small and fragile.

"What's back?" I was so stupid for asking. I was an idiot. I knew what he was on about, I just refused to believe I was right. This wasn't 2009, this was 2016. Dan's voices were never going to come back, he was just having a bad day.. that was all.

"The voices." Dan then set off on another round of sobs and, soon enough, I joined in with him. I wasn't sure if I could survive another rerun on 2009, let alone Dan. I couldn't bear to see him so broken and hurt again.

You will hide from everyone, denying you need someone

To exterminate your bones

"What are they saying?" I managed to whisper after a couple of minutes of unbearable silence.

"It's not that bad. I-I'm just having a bad day that's all. T-They'll be gone by tomorrow. I'll w-wake up and everything will be okay." Dan forced a smile and so did I. I really wanted to believe him, I did. I just couldn't. Dan needed my help, I needed to help him become happy again.

"Dan.. it's okay to admit that you are sad. As I said a minute ago, I'm here for you."

Friend, please remove your hands from

Over your eyes for me

"You can speak to me. Stop being so blind, I know you know that. You can see that I am right here." Dan nodded softly and I grabbed his hand, clutching it tightly.

I know you want to leave but

Friend, please don't take your life away from me

"Just remember, we can get through this. Don't ever think about you know what again. It won't get that bad again, I promise." Little did I know that my promise would turn into small particles of dust, soon to disappear. If only I had known. If only Dan had actually spoke to me. Maybe then we'd both be okay.

Living like a ghost you walk by everyone you know

You say that you're fine but you have lost your sway and glow

After that day, Dan didn't speak to anyone. He barely even spoke to me. His face never wore his beautiful smile and his eyes never showed their happy glint anymore. He constantly wore a dull frown, his eyes dark and filled with nothing but sadness.

The only time I could actually get Dan to successfully speak was when I asked if he was okay but even then, he would only utter a small, "I'm fine." He lied to me. He wasn't fine.

So I stopped by to let you know

Friend, please remove your hands from

Over your eyes for me

The next time I found Dan in a state was a couple of weeks later when things were undeniably much much worse. Dan was sobbing in the middle of the night again and I could hear him. He sounded so desperate and alone. I ran down the hallway, worry etched into my face as I knocked on Dan's door. He didn't respond. So I knocked again. He still stayed silent other than his heart wrenching sobs. I was getting desperate, I was afraid. I pulled at the door handle but it was locked. It was locked. I couldn't do anything. I tried but I couldn't.. I couldn't help him. I leant against the door and dropped to the floor, tucking my knees into my chest. "Dan, I hope you're okay. Remember what I told you. Stop being blind. I'm here for you and so are so many more people. Just speak to us. I was here back in 2009 and I will be today."

I know you want to leave but

Friend, please don't take your life away from me

Would you let me know your plans tonight

'Cause I just won't let go 'til we both see the light

"Please, Dan. Tell me what you're doing. I don't like hearing you sob like this. Open the door, I want to help you! I'll hold you all night if I have to." My voice was beginning to shake due to the sobs surfacing in my body. "Dan?"

And I have nothing else left to say

But I will listen to you all day, yes I will

"DAN!" I pathetically screamed, bashing my fists against the door. His sobbing had stopped and, of course, me being me, I jumped to the worst conclusion. "SPEAK TO ME! I want to help you! Let me help you. I'll hug you and make you feel safe. We can do this.. we can get through this together." We couldn't.

Friend, please remove your hands from

Over your eyes for me

Dan didn't respond. Nor did he ever. It didn't settle in until I had screamed at my phone for an ambulance and they were there, taking him away from me. I was sobbing and screaming so much that one of the paramedics had to sit with me. Dan was gone. He had left me. It was all my fault for failing at helping him.

I know you want to leave but

Friend, please don't take your life away from me

"Dan, please.. don't take your life away from me.." I tried to scream as he was pulled outside but it only came out as a feeble whisper.

It was too late.

Hola. Can I just interrupt your sob fest to say that I have been addicted to violin covers of songs?? They're so amazing and omg.

Thank you for reading, it means a lot! I love you all so much<3 I hope you've all had a wonderful day.
