Strings (Phanfiction)

Strings- Chapter 3

Phil's POV:
I open my laptop to see a new tweet from Dan and feel the corners of my mouth lift up. My mum calls me down for dinner and I oblige, my stomach growling in interest.
After dinner I check Twitter again, to see if I have any messages from Dan. Surprisingly, there's none. I suddenly wonder if he's lost interest in me and feel a strange pang in my soul. I shake my head quickly and try to clear my thoughts. He's probably just busy and focusing on school or something. Yeah. That has to be it
******************
The next day I look at my DM's and again, see nothing from Dan. I frown a little bit. Why has he still not message me? Is he ignoring me? I try to think of anything that I could've done to offend someone I've never met before, but my mind comes up blank. I even scroll through all our messages, but there's definitely nothing there that could possibly be offensive in any way. I hope.
I go through my day with my mind constantly on the boy who had messaged me. I don't know why I'm so hung up on him but it's like no matter how hard I try to think of something else, I just can't.
I lay in bed with my eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling, still thinking about what I could've possibly done wrong.
My mind flits back to the fact that I've never really even seen his face before when it hits me like a ton of bricks. I immediately log on Twitter, type out a quick message to Dan and send it before all thoughts could enter.
I drift into a peaceful sleep right after

Dan's POV:
I check my twitter yet again before going to bed, but still nothing. I knew it. He was just being nice when he replied to my messages. He probably did the same thing for everyone else. A single tear drops down my cheek and I let it fall. Why did I think that I could be special? Why did I think that this could work out for me? Out of all the things I've done, this was definitely the dumbest. And that was saying something because literally everything I did was dumb. That's why no one liked me. Not even someone who brought happiness into my life, even if it was from miles away.
I can't sleep after that. Tomorrow I have to go through the torture of school again with no positive message to get me through the day. But that last sliver of hope in me that I had been trying so hard to squander over the past three hours gets out and before I know it, my laptop is open to my DM's and there's a new message from him. From Phil.

Amazingphil: Hey! Sorry for the extremely late message :P I was just thinking that maybe we could skype sometime! It'd honestly be way better than typing because your hand doesn't hurt after a while (unless your hand is very active during the call)

My heart soars and I laugh quietly to myself. He actually wants to Skype me. He wants to see me. Of course, it's nothing like what it would be in person but still, with my heart skipping every other beat, I reply

danisnotonfire: that'd be cool XD when should we do it???

I cringe at my reply, but send it anyways, fingers trembling over the keyboard.
After that, I shut my laptop and descend into a peaceful slumber.

Nothing can bring me down right now
