Not Without You

Dan's POV

"Well shiz" I whispered to myself quietly.

"Whats going on? Who's that?" Chris asked glancing over to where me and Phil were looking and leaning in close.

"Well you guys know about when someone broke into our house?" They nodded slowly.

"Well" Phil continued "we went to the police station and the officer that was there was this girl named Jenny and she took a liking to Dan but she kinda hates me"

"But I mean who could hate Phil he's a little ball of sunshine?" Peej said playfully pinching Phil's cheeks.

Phil rolled his eyes and smacked his hand away before taking a fry and eating it slowly.

"And that's who is sitting over there. The little prick who dislikes my little Philly" Chris said, the tone of distaste in his voice.

We sat in silence for a couple seconds. I was looking at Phil, Phil was looking at Jenny, Peej was looking at Jenny and Chris was looking at me.

"Maybe we should go..." I said slowly standing up.

"Yeah but Dan, She knows where we live and this looks like stalking." Phil's voice was a little shaky and I could tell this wasn't a good situation.

I glanced over at Jenny to see her pretending to look away. She knew she had been spotted.

"Lets get out of here. You can come over to ours if you like" Chris offered standing up and grabbing his jacket.

"Thanks Chris" I did a little head movement that I hope he perceived as a nod and we all started getting our stuff together.

I payed for our fries and we all hurried out into the streets.

When we were a couple blocks away we hopped in a Taxi and gave the driver PJ and Chris's address.

"Someday I wanna punch her square in the face" I whispered angrily as we walked into the familiar, dark flat.

PJ and Chris turned the lights on as we went until we made it to the living room.

"Why was your flat so dark anyway? It's the middle of the day" Phil asked looking around to get a sense of direction.

"Oh that would be because we closed the curtains also" Pj laughed as he opened the beige curtains.

Me and Phil nodded and looked at each other. Our eyes locked. I could hear someone talking but I couldn't tell who it was. It sounded like distant slurs.

I blinked and reality came back.

"Dan? Phil?" I heard Chris ask.

"Oh what sorry- I just- thoughts- what were you saying?" I rubbed my temples and looked at Chris's round face.

"Oh I was just wondering if you two wanted anything. A cup of tea or coffee maybe?" He smiled happily and started to stand up.

"I'll have a cup of coffee" Phil said quickly.

"I'm good thanks" my hand instinctively fixed my hair as I watched Chris walk out of the room and towards the kitchen.

"So Dan.." PJ started, holding up a coil of wire.

"PJ!" I said falling off my chair from laughter.

I clutched my stomach and tried to stop but something about using that inside joke, at this moment, made it almost impossible to even realize what was happening.

I heard a thump come from PJ's direction and I assumed he had fallen and started laughing as well.

My eyes where wet from laughing so hard.

After about a minute of straight laughing and trying to talk, I heard Chris come into the room.

I slightly controlled my laughter and started to shakily stand up.

It may have only been a minute but it felt like at least 30.

My legs acted like legs that didn't know how to leg.

In other words wet noodles.

"Ummm are you two okay?" Chris asked helping PJ up while Phil helped me.

"Yea-yeah we are a-okay" I said hiccoughing.

"Well would you care to explain what happened?" Phil asked, a slight tone of annoyance could be detected in his voice.

I looked at PJ who gave me a pleading look and I nodded.

"Not yet. Maybe soon though"

Later on that evening we decided it was safe to return home.

Phil jumped in a Taxi after saying goodbye to them. I gave them both a Big and thanked them before winking at Pj and sliding in next to Phil and closing the door.

"Would you like to tell me something?" Phil asked me again. "Like maybe explain what happened back there? don't try to deny it i know somethings going on between you and Pj."

I give the driver our address and turn to Phil.

"I really want to tell you. But its not my place to say anything. I do trust you. You are my best friend. But I also value PJs trust and I promised to not tell anyone." I watched him try to comprehend what I said.

He nodded and whispered something along the lines of 'okay I understand'.

The drive to our flat was a relatively short one but as no one was talking it was longer then I remembered. The driver tried to make conversation but it never carried through as I just shrugged and Phil payed all his attention to the cars passing by us.

We got home and realized it was Tuesday and I was late for my live show.

"Uhhh Phil i'll be back I like an hour I have to do my liveshow" I said as i took off my coat and shoes and threw them aside.

He shrugged and fell into the couch with a thud. We really need new couches.

I walked into my room ad started to set up. I tweeted that I would be going live soon and people seemed to be relieved.

My live show were usually filled with casual banter but today it was mostly about the break in. Apparently it spread like wildfire and there was even a hashtag. #danandphilbreakin. The phandom is strange.

I answered many questions ad was even given advice. Not to let Jenny in the flat anymore.

Like that would happen.
