Chapter 3
"Dan, are you okay?" Phil whispered so that Noah couldn't hear. Dan only nodded, making Phil furrow his eyebrows slightly. "You're obviously not. You're really quiet." Dan turned his head and increased the volume of the music playing through his earphones. "Dan? Please don't ignore me.. Talk to me.. Are you feeling ill?" Dan just ignored his friend, trying his best to lose himself in the music but he was struggling; too much was running through his brain.
No one really noticed Noah smirking to himself.
-
Dan didn't even realise he had fallen asleep until his eyes flickered open. He lifted his head up slightly to find that he had been leaning on Phil's shoulder as he slept. He quickly shuffled over to the left before glancing at Noah; it must have been Dan's lucky day because he was asleep (and therefore couldn't see him sleeping on his boyfriend's shoulder).
-
"Where is Noah going to sleep?" Dan asked, glancing at the double bed in front of him just to avoid Noah's gaze.
"I don't mind sharing a bed with Phil." Noah grinned his stupid perfect grin and, of course, Phil nodded.
"Dan.. is it okay if you sleep on the sofa tonight? It would be rude to make the guest sleep on the sofa." Phil spoke up, sending Dan and sympathetic look. Dan didn't even have to look to know that Noah was smirking.
"Yeah.. whatever."
"Now we can just relax! We've been travelling for most of today, do you guys want to walk around the city? We could do a bit of shopping!"
"Yeah, that sounds really cool." Noah reached out and grab Phil's hand, making Dan scowl to himself.
"I'm really tired.. I think I might just get some rest."
"But it would be lovely to see this city, wouldn't it Dan? It's such a beautiful place and there's no definite chance that you'll come here again." Dan hated Noah. He really did. When he looked up, Noah was sending him a look as if to say you better come.
"I guess I'll come then." Dan sighed, missing the way Phil's hand felt in his.
-
"I need to go to the toilet. I'll go find a toilet and meet you back here?" Dan muttered and walked down the path before Noah or Phil could respond. He didn't actually need to go to the toilet; he just couldn't stand watching the two love birds kiss. It hurt him inside, it really did and he hated himself for being jealous.
When Dan's thoughts finally shut up, he looked up, just to realise he had no idea where he had wandered to. There were loads of people rushing down the street, barging into each other as they did so. Dan couldn't help the tears from forming in his eyes.
He was just so done. Noah was just so annoying and mean and poor Phil because he had deal with him. Dan literally couldn't stop the tears and soon enough he was sobbing. He didn't know what to do and he was lost. He was lost, lost!
Dan just stood still, allowing the tears to plummet down his faces as a couple of people stared at him weirdly, until one girl cautiously approached him. "Oh my God! You're Danisnotonfire!" (MAGICAL AUTHOR'S NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: rip danisnotonfire *cries silently*) She squealed and Dan didn't even bother to force a smile. "Are you okay? Why are you crying?"
"I'm fine." Dan mumbled, wiping a couple of tears with his sleeve.
"You're obviously not. Where's Phil?" That only set Dan off in another round of tears.
"I don't know!"
"Can you call him?"
"I left my phone back at the hotel.."
"Do you know his number? You can use my phone if you would like?"
"Yeah.. Thank you." The girl took her phone out of her pocket and unlocked it before passing it to Dan. It took Dan a long time to write the number in due to his shaky hands but he did eventually manage. Noah picked up instead of Phil and Dan lost it for what felt like the hundredth time that day. "Can I speak to Phil?" He managed to choke out between sobs.
"He's currently in the toilets which, by the way, we were only about five minutes away from. Where the hell are you?" The fan was giving Dan some strange, confused looks as more and more tears fell.
"I don't know. I really don't.. Can you and-"
"No, we will not come find you. You got yourself lost and it isn't my problem. It isn't Phil's either. Make your own way back and take your time too; it just means Phil and I get to spend more time together."
"Okay-" Dan was cut off by another voice in the background, asking Noah who was on the phone. Dan just about heard Noah's response before he hung up.
"Dan was just calling to say he was heading back to the hotel."
Dan sadly held out the girl's phone, a deep frown on his face. "Thanks for letting me use your phone." He mumbled, before turning to walk away but the girl grabbed his shoulder.
"Is Phil coming to get you?"
"No. No, he isn't. Why would he anyway? He doesn't care about me anymore." The girl then enveloped Dan into a long hug and he was fairly sure it wasn't just because she wanted a hug from her favourite YouTuber.. it was because she generally wanted to comfort him.
"I'm sure he does care about you, Dan."
"You don't understand. He really doesn't. It's like we're not even friends anymore."
"Oh, Dan.. do you know where he is? I am sure I can take you to him. I know this place like the back of my hand; I've lived here my whole life."
"We were just wandering around so no."
"Hotel?"
-
"Noah, I don't want Dan to be alone.. he looked really sad, he's probably really lonely." Phil whined, taking a sip of his Starbucks drink.
"He insisted that he wanted to be alone!" Noah argued, squeezing Phil's hand slightly.
"You don't know him as well as I do, Noah. He might do something!"
"Like what?"
"He used to hurt himself, Noah! He might do it again! It's probably the tour.. it's stressing him out. I need to get back to the hotel."
"Don't let him ruin our day.."
"Our day was meant to be his day too, you know. Come on." Phil swiftly turned around and practically dragged Noah back down the road in the direction they had come from.
-
"Thanks, it means a lot." Dan mumbled, sitting down on the bed.
"No problem. I hope you feel better soon. Just do what I said and talk to Phil, okay? If not for yourself then for the fans. I'm sure they'd hate to know that you and Phil have had an argument." The fan responded, a bright smile on her face as she sat beside Dan.
"I never actually got your name?"
"Olivia."
"That's a lovely name. Also.. would it be bad if I asked for your number? You just give amazing advice and I may need more in the future."
"It wouldn't be bad at all." Dan held out his hand and took Olivia's phone. He typed in his number before sending her a small smile. "I should probably get going. I need to get home."
"Thanks again." Just as Olivia turned to leave, the door was opened and in walked Phil and Noah.
"Who's this?" Phil asked, looking from Dan to Olivia then back to Dan.
"Olivia. She was just going actually."
"Yeah. Bye!" Olivia walked out of the room, her heart racing at the thought that she had just met Dan and got his number.
"Who's Olivia? Did you get a girlfriend during the walk back to the hotel or something?" Phil questioned, sitting down beside Dan on the bed.
"No. I just met her and we talked for a bit, that's all."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Dan, you can tell us if you're in a relationship, you know.." Noah spoke up, sitting so close to Phil that their sides were touching. That made Dan's heart ache.
"I am not in a relationship! I'm going to bed." Dan stood up before angrily walking to the sofa.
"Are you-"
"Leave it, Phil."
How are you all?
I'm good apart from the fact I'm exhausted (despite getting a full night's sleep). All's good though
