"We figured that you want to finish this little shit", Jason said.

"No", Dan muttered, he was almost crying.

"Shut up", Jason said and punched him on the stomach. It looked painful and Dan tried to curl up, but they kept pinning him on the wall.

"What did he do?" Phil asked confused, staring at Jason. He was a bit afraid to look at Dan. He didn't want to be apart of this.

"You know how those idiots always bully people, thinking they are cool?" Jason asked and took a few steps towards Phil, motioning for Carl to pinn Dan on the wall. "Well we're showing them how it's done, and this little guy here", Jason pointed at Dan, "is just some random kid we picked up from the hall. And now we're gonna give you the last, and the most painful punch", Jason said. He was somehow proud of his little explanation. Phil knew he wasn't telling the truth. He knew Jason just wanted to play his little mind games. And unfortunately it was working. "So, what are you gonna do? You gonna punch that little kid, or you gonna run like a coward?" Jason asked. Carl and the other guy let go of Dan and Dan fell on the floor, holding his stomach.

"I guess I'm gonna punch that guy", Phil said finally and walked to Dan. The other guys were laughing behind him. Dan lifted his head to look up at Phil and shook his head desperately. "Dan, I'm so sorry", Phil whispered just before he punched Dan under his chin with his fist. Dan flew back against the wall, painfully hitting his head. Phil shook his hand and stared at Dan, hoping he could somehow do something for him. Hoping he would have the courage to punch Jason. But he didn't. Dan was surprised and in pain. He tried to take support of the floor with his hand, but he slipped and hurt his wrist.

"That was a good punch", Jason said smiling and put his arm around Phil's shoulder. He turned him around and they all started walking out of bathroom, to the hall to their next class.

Dan finally got up and looked himself from the mirror. Dryed blood on his lips and chin, bruises forming under his chin and on his forhead, black eye would form there in an hours. He looked pathetic. He spat blood on the sink and tried to keep himself together. He took some paper and cleaned himself, thinking should he go to see a school nurse, or not. When he had cleaned himself, he looked at the clock on his phone. His history class was almost over, there was no way he was going in there. And Phil was probably not in the storage, he didn't come to help Dan. He punched him and left. Dan's thoughts were mixed up and he didn't know what to think about Phil anymore. He felt betrayed and lonely. He grabbed his soaking wet bag, that Jason had put in the toilet, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Are you alright?" there was familiar voice in the hall. Dan looked up and saw Phil again. "I told the teacher I wasn't feeling alright, and then he let me go", Phil explained.

"What do you care? You just punched the hell out of me", Dan said and kept walking. He didn't really know where he was going, he didn't know what he had next.

"Dan, I'm so sorry", Phil said and came closer.

"You're sorry? Well alright, thanks, like that's gonna help me", Dan said raising his voice. "That's gonna be so fucking helpful. I don't even know what to do anymore, you and your big ego. Fuck it, you don't care about anyone else than yourself, you sick selfish bastard. Just leave me alone, and never say anything to me again", Dan said and looked at Phil.

"But Dan-"

"Never. Or I swear, if I hear your voice again, I'll freaking cut my ears off", Dan added and walked away. He was just full of anger and he wanted to get it out of him. He hated being angry, it was so frustrating and there was nothing to do. He walked out of the school, again. He didn't want to be there. He couldn't do anything in there, his books were all wet and he couldn't focus on anything. He went home, again, and cried himself to sleep quickly. He was tired and angry, and the combination of those two made him very sleepy.

"Honey, is everything alright? Your teacher called and told you left school after lunch?" Dan's mom asked behind the door. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah", Dan called. He was still pretty much asleep. He glanced at the clock, it was 8 pm.

"Oh god, what happened?" she asked, clearly terrified. That's when Dan remembered that his face wasn't really the prettiest thing to look at the moment. Dan's mom sat down on the bed and turned Dan to look at her.

"I-I fell down on the stairs", Dan stuttered. He didn't want his mom to worry.

"Don't be silly honey. I know your clumsy, but who did this to you?" she asked.

"No one, I swear. I just fell down the stairs, that's all", Dan said again. He knew his mom was gonna call to Jason's and Phil's mom if she knew. That's what moms did. But Dan was not going to tell her.

"Well you tell me when you're ready", Dan's mom said after a minute of silence. "Are you going to school tomorrow?" she asked and stood up. Dan shook his head laying down again and closing his eyes. "Okay, do you want me to bring something to eat?" she asked as she walked to the door.

"No, I'm not hungry", Dan muttered as he was trying to get some sleep again. She nodded and closed the door behind her. Dan fell asleep again, quickly. He liked to sleep. When he was asleep, he didn't have to think about all that shit that was going on in his life
