My name is Daniel Howell, Dan for short. I am 21 years old and will be for the rest of my life, I make videos on YouTube under the username 'danisnotonfire' and my best friend is Philip Lester, Phil for short.
I'm going to tell you what happened. From the incident to right now and hopefully you will listen. So here goes.
It was a cold, Sunday morning when I woke up. My bed was warm and soft so instead of getting up, I called for Phil who I could hear in the kitchen humming to a made up tune while making a cup of coffee.
"Yeah Dan?" He replied almost immediately.
"Breakfast… bed… too comfy…" I mumbled, knowing he would get the hint. I wasn't, however, expecting him to burst out laughing before strolling into my room.
"You can get your own breakfast mister or else you will starve to death in this landfill you manage to pass off as a bedroom." I smirked at him as he gestured around at my assorted collection of things that littered the floor.
"Hey, that's not fair. You know I don't do mornings!" I whined, propping myself up onto my elbows and giving him the best puppy dog eyes that I could.
"Yeah well, I'm not a night person and yet I still manage to play guild wars with you until two in the morning most nights." He stated before grinning, turning on his heel and skipping back into the kitchen.
I sighed and allowed my face to flop back down into my pillow, while willing a plate full of sausages, bacon and eggs to appear next to me to no such luck.
"So you decided to leave the accident waiting to happen?" Phil asked as he watched me trudge into the kitchen and lay down across the breakfast bar. He enjoyed making jokes about my room.
"Mmmppphhh." Was all I could manage in reply, resting my head on the loaf of bread Phil had just got out of the cupboard.
"Hey! I need that!" Phil exclaimed, trying to tug it out from under me.
"Noooo, it's my pillow!" I argued, keeping my arms wrapped around the soft food for all it was worth.
Eventually he managed to get it out from under me, only to discover it had gone out of date a week ago.
"Dan, when did you buy this bread?" He asked, staring at the use by date and then at the receipt he had managed to dig out from somewhere.
"Yesterday." I replied, now curled up in a ball on the sofa.
"Did you check the use by date before you bought it?"
"No."
"Well that was a smart move." Said Phil, setting down the bread and walking into his room.
"What are you doing?" I asked, raising my head ever so slightly from the cushion I was clutching.
"Going out to buy some edible food." He replied, reappearing moments later, tugging on a shirt.
"No, it's my fault. I'll go." I said to him before rising from the sofa and heading into my room quickly. I pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and my laser cat shirt.
"No, really, it's fine." Said Phil, grabbing his straighteners and clamping them around his fringe.
"No, I've got this." I said to him, already tugging on my shoes and coat.
"No Dan. I've already said I'll go." Said Phil, a hint of anger in his voice now. But it was too late; I was already gone from the flat.
I grinned as I ran down the path, my feet slapping against the concrete, wet with dew. I turned just in time to see Phil rush past me.
"Ha sucker!" He yelled as I tried to keep up but began to slow down rapidly as I realised how much my lungs were constricting. In that moment I swear I could taste blood.
I saw Phil skip across the road, completely aware that he was going to win and with a few strange looks from other crossers as to why a grown man was skipping. What happened next was sort of a blur. A car that had somehow lost control and was swerving violently towards him, having already hit other people on the way down the road. I could see the driver frantically turning the wheel but it was too late, he beeped his horn and Phil turned just in time to feel the collision.
This is not a one shot, I was planning for it to be but I decided to have it as a multi-chapter; adds more suspense.
I got this idea from a film. The plotline is sort of the same but the general story is different. If anybody wants to take a guess at what film this is, I'll let you know if anyone got it in the next chapter
You probably won't get it though, I wouldn't if I was reading this but you could give it a try. Anyway, tell me what you guys think, it's always greatly appreciated!
