"Damn number's blocked." I said in frustration, throwing my phone down on the couch. "Of course he would block it, I should've known. Now what do I do?"

Lucas must've heard me ranting to myself from his room, because he walked into the lounge and sat down on the recliner across from the couch. "You get a new number."

"What about when he blocks that number?"

"You get a new one."

I thought about it for a moment. "Just like that?"

"Yes. He can keep blocking the number, but it's not like you can block your phone specifically, Alex."

I grinned and picked up my phone. "Guess I need to get on that, then."

We both walked to the store I had gotten my phone from, and I fake-whined about having too many solicitors calling me, and that I wanted a new number. The man at the store did that for me, and also told me that I could change the number online. I thanked him- he really had no idea how helpful he was being- and went on my way.

Lucas and I stopped at a small cafe on our way back to the flat, and discussed the plan over coffee. "So," I began. "I text Dan, and I assume I'll only get in one text before he blocks the number. Thankfully, I can change my number online." I sipped from my coffee. "It's frustrating to keep changing, but I'm okay with that."

Lucas shook his head. "You devoted bastard. You're a terrible person, you know that?"

I rolled my eyes. "You realize that you're not that much better. You want Phil to yourself after I ruin Dan."

Lucas smiled and closed his eyes, thinking about Phil, no doubt. "Yes, he is lovely. He deserves someone like me."

"You conceited bitch." 

"Very cruel, yet very accurate, my friend."

We left soon after, making our way to the underground to get back home. We were waiting for out train, when I saw Dan and Phil get off. I nudged Lucas. "Look who it is." I whispered. 

I waved and yelled. "Daaan! How are you?"

Dan whipped his head around to see who was calling his name, and narrowed his eyes when he saw me.  He said something to Phil and kept walking.

I immediately started running over. "Dan! It's not nice to ignore people!" Dan feigned shock when he saw me.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! It's pretty loud in here, I didn't hear you. How are you... Alex, correct?"

Well, he was a good actor- I had to give him that.

"Yes, that's correct! You're last video was amazing! Another brilliant video, as usual."

"Oh, thank you." I had left Lucas behind, but he caught up to me. 

"Oh, hello! I'm Alex's friend, Lucas." I could see him eyeing Phil. "Oh my God, are you Phil Lester?"

Phil smiled at him. "Yes, that's me."

"Could I have a picture with you? I'm a big fan."

Phil agreed with a smile, and Lucas handed him his phone, and I watched them take a picture, so I took the moment to talk to Dan.

"You want me, I know you do." I whispered to him. Dan's eyes widened.

"Fuck off."

"How rude of you. You're making a mistake."

"I would never leave Phil for you."

"You may not have to," I smiled. "The time will come, when you wish you would've come running to me instead of being left alone. Your choice, though."

I heard Lucas thank Phil, and I took that as our cur to leave. "We need to get on our train, thank you for talking to us!" I smiled at Phil, gave Dan a warning look, and we walked off.

Dan Howell, you are a stubborn one, aren't you?
