Phil was laying down on the couch surfing the web. he was trying to get some inspiration for his next video and thought the best place to do that was by browsing Tumblr. he's also attempting to pass the time as he couldn't hold back excitement for the return of his best friend/roommate. Dan had gone to America for a couple weeks to go visit some friends, and he was finally returning tonight. it was also the night Phil had decided he was going to express to Dan that he had feelings for him. suddenly in the middle of watching a cute cat video his phone began to ring. keeping his eyes on the screen he reached out to grab his device, it took a couple tries but he managed to get it, he answered the call and put the phone to his ear.
"Yello?" He answered casually.
"Phil...?" replied a familiar and shaky voice. Wait what? Dan? Wasn't he still wasn't he still on his flight? And how would he be using his phone? Something didn't seem right.
"Dan?" Phil exclaimed, "why are you calling?"
A bit of time passed before there was a response.
"Um...I don't know how to say this but...my plane is crashing."
"What?"
"My plane is crashing...and I think I might not make it back alive."
Phil was dumbfounded. What had he just heard? Was he dreaming? He had to be. There was no way this was real.
"Y-you're joking...right?"
"Ha...I wish I was..."
Phils eyes began welling with tears. He was speechless. Before he realized it, his tears had formed into waterfall streaming down his face.
Dan started speaking again, "Phil there something I need you to know before I die..."
he paused for a bit and then continued.
"...I love you."
That was what really hit Phil. he began sobbing and try to listen over his desperate crying.
"i've loved you ever since we met. I love you when you download mysterious exe files on my computer, I love you when we fight over stupid stuff like whi decided where we eat," Dan's voice got shakier and shakier as the list continued, "I love you when you're being an absolute prick, I love you when you act like the biggest dork on the planet, but most importantly, I love you for being Phil Lester, and I don't regret any second we spent together."
"Dan?" Phil managed to voice over all his blubbering.
"I lov-"
that was when the phone cut out. Dan's voice gone and replaced with endless beeping. "No..." Phil denied, his eyes widening as the horror of reality struck. "NO!" he began screaming. "NONONONONONONO!" Phil screamed into his phone the tears being accompained by the yelling and cries of Phil Lester. Dan was gone, his bestfriend, roommate, confidant, but above all, his love.
