CHAPTER 1: ABSENCE
DAN POV:
"Why has Phil left me all alone?" I had been poorly treated by friends before so I don't trust many. I trust Phil, but there is always a little voice in my mind saying that Phil doesn't want to be friends with me anymore. Phil said that he is going to go see his parents for a week for his mum's birthday. I was in my room just waiting for Phil to come on skype, I've been waiting for an hour now. I'm starting to get hungry, so I went into the kitchen to find something to eat. I couldn't find anything that I wanted to eat, then I saw some beers at the back of the fridge. Phil was coming home tomorrow, but I couldn't wait any longer. I missed him so much, I knew I wanted more, I wanted to be together. I grabbed the beer and sat down on the couch and started to drink. After I drank the beer the emotional pain hasn't gone. I grabbed the rest of the beers in the fridge and drank them all.
The rest of the night I drank until there was no more beer left. Still, the pain was still there. I secretly kept a bottle of wine under my bed. I got up and clumsily walked over to my bed and grabbed the bottle of wine. I drank the whole bottle in one go but all the alcohol still, wasn't enough. Then in the corner of my eye, I spot a blurry bottle of vodka. I didn't like vodka that much but I needed to stop the pain of Phil's absence. So, I took at least half a bottle of vodka in shots, then I hear the front door opening.
PHIL POV:
When I got back to the apartment it was around 11:00am. When I finally climbed all the stairs, I walked in the lounge. When I walk in I saw a heavily intoxicated Dan on the couch. "CRAP, DAN, HOW MUCH HAVE YOU DRANK?!" Dan points to the pile of bottles. "DAN, WHY?" Dan gets up and stumbles towards me, then he pins me against the wall and starts to plant kisses on me. I push Dan away. He was intoxicated but I didn't want to take advantage of him. I liked him, but I am not sure if he felt the same way.
Dan then plonks himself on the couch and then he starts to cry. "What's wrong Dan?" "I feel sick in my stomach." I knew that Dan was going through some horrible pain from how much empty bottles I saw in the corner. "I can't take this any longer Pwhil." I quickly got my phone out and call an ambulance.
