It had been three weeks since he died. It had been two weeks since the funeral. It had been one week since Phil went back to school. Now as he was going threw all the memories of their time together all Phil could think about was the night it happened.
Flashback
Dan Howell and Phil Lester had been dating for a mere three days when they started being bullied and harassed on the streets. Phil took it fine and even yelled back sometimes. One time some dude on the street yelled "Fags!" Dan sat there in silence but Phil confronted the man and yelled back "Oh are you stating words you can't spell?" Over time things started to get worse and so did Dan. The night it happened the boys had been bullied especially bad.
"Dan I'm going to go pick up a few things from the store I'll be right home!" Phil called into Dan's room. Later that night Phil got a phone call from Dan.
"Hello?" Phil said as he answered the phone.
"Phil I-I just wanted to call and tell you I love you so fucking much." Phil's stomach twisted in a knot. It was like his body knew before he did. "Dan are you okay? You are crying and you never cry."
"Goodbye Phil." Phil ran home as fast as he could. He just knew something was wrong. As he approached the house he saw all the lights were off. That was so unlike Dan. Phil threw the door open and ran to Dan's bedroom. When he opened the door he was greeted by Dan. Except Dan wasn't on the ground. He was hanging. Dan had killed himself. Phil immediately started screaming and sobbing. "Fuck you! Fuck you! I'll never forgive you for this! Why couldn't you just talk to me Dan? I fucking loved you and now you are going to make me spend every day of my entire fucking life hating myself for not saying I love you too or at least goodbye! You are an asshole Dan fuck you!" Phil immediately regretted saying it. He called 911. "Please help my boyfriend he's... I think he... Suicide!"
Present day
As Phil walked the halls of the school he and Dan had once gone to together he could hardly keep from beating up every asshole that talks shit about dan. When he got home he called into the house "Dan I'm home!" He hoped that maybe this wasn't really happening and maybe Dan would answer back. But he wouldnt. Phil went into Dan's room. He had so many memories in this room all good ones the only bad one was the night he died. Phil looked over at the bed. He noticed Dan's computer was open. Phil turned it on and YouTube was open. Dan had posted a video the night he died called "goodbye internet." Phil played the video. On the screen there was Dan and for a moment Phil smiled but then Dan spoke.
" Hello internet. Well uh... by the title I think I've got some explaining to do." Phil shut it off. He couldn't watch it. Maybe in time he could but not now it was to soon. Not just for him, for Dan it was too soon to die.
