Dan P.O.V

I couldn't sleep, not that I minded. I was terrified of dreaming. My mind kept going back to the dream.
What if my love for Phil hurts him?
Why if that's what the dream was warning me?
Stop it!
I was fighting back tears, I don't want to hurt Phil, that was never my intention. I simply wanted to protect him and have him in my arms.
I sigh frustrated. I kept trying to make sense of my dream.
Why would he use Phil against me?
I sit there on my bed shaking. I wanted to crawl into Phil's bed and sleep with him, we'd done it before.
A few years ago I'd wake up screaming, like tonight, my dreams were awful. I was always murdered or harmed in the most painful way. The sick thing was that I could feel it. I felt every stab, every bone in my body break. Phil would wake me up, calm me down, and sleep next to me. We didn't hold each other, he just stayed on the side of the bed inches apart from me.
I whimpered a bit debating in my mind whether I should sleep with Phil.
No, I can't do that.
In all honesty I was terrified to be next to him. I didn't want him near me because was afraid to hurt him. I let a tear roll down my cheek, I never want to see his blue eyes filled with terror like they were in my dream. I never want to see him be harmed.

Phil P.O.V

I wake up around 12pm, tired from last night. I barley got any sleep thinking about Dan. He looked so scared when he woke up. His eyes looked at me in complete relief. I didn't want to leave him but I had to respect his privacy. I didn't want to ask about the dream, matter a fact I never asked about any of his dreams that send him into screams. The last time he had one was a few months ago...I think.
I walk into the kitchen to see Dan already awake.
"Hey. You okay?" I ask nervously.
"Yea" he turns around staring at me. I could see the lack of sleep in his eyes and it made my chest hurt.
"You look tired" I sit down on the breakfast dinner. Dan passes me a bowl and some cereal. I pour the cereal and then the milk
"So do you" he looks away after handing me a spoon. We're silent for a few minutes but to me they feel like hours.
"Do you want to go to town today?" Dan asked. His voice was so quiet and soft it took me a minute to comprehend.
"Of course. Let me just get ready." I smile finishing the last of cereal. I walk by him dumping in in the sink
"Half an hour?" He asks
"Perfect"
I practically run to my room trying to look for good clothes to wear. After fifteen minutes I find a decent T-shirt and a clean pair of black skinny jeans. I pull my shirt on then my jeans. I quickly straighten my hair. Arranging it so that it looks good. I walk outside to the living room to see Dan ready on the couch. He has a white sweater on and a black pair of skinny jeans.
"Shall we go?" He asks not looking up at me.
"Yea" my smile a bit forced
----------
We had been out for about a few hours. We'd gone shopping and stopped at Starbucks to grab some coffee. We walked around the park nearby. We took a seat on a bench far away from each other. I looked over at Dan, he looked tense and his eyes were focused on the ground. I sighed sadly, I looked around the park and smiled a little to myself. It reminded me of the first time we met.

I was sitting on a bench waiting to see the boy I had talked on Skype for what's seemed like forever. My heart beat hard against my chest and I couldn't stop shaking. I was scared, terrified of him not liking me. I looked around desperate to find that mop of brown hair. Someone tapped me from behind making me jump. I quickly turn around to find a pair of brown eyes staring into mine.
"It's you.." I whisper
"The one and only" his hair hid his eyes as he looked to the ground, a shy smile playing on his face. Dan, the guy I had talked to over Skype and text. He looked at me and I gave him my best smile. He was shaking slightly makes, just like I was.
"I was afraid you wouldn't come" he says enveloping me into a hug. I'm taken by surprise, but eventually I hug him back. My heart skips a beat and my lungs aren't functioning correctly.
"Come on let's go over to your house!" He shyly says.
"Let's go!" I laugh practically dragging him out of the park.

"Phil?" Dan calls.
"Mhm"
"Are you okay? I've been saying your name for about two minutes" he gives me a worried look. Those brown eyes, the same brown eyes that I had fallen for, looked sad and broken.
"What did you dream of last night" I blurt out. I look at him, his eyes are wide and his face gone pale.
"Phil, I- I-I can't tell you" he says giving me a desperate glare. I know I should back off, leave him alone, but I just can't. Not anymore.
"I've never asked you to tell me about your dreams because I thought it would help not talking about them," I say as calmly as I can, " but I need to know, for years you've been having these dreams and you won't tell me. I thought we were friends Dan. I thought you trusted me"
I see him flinch.
"I'm so sorry Phil. I'm so so sorry" is all he says before he jumps out if his seat and runs towards who knows where. I quickly dump my coffee in a trash can and try to catch up with him.
"Dan! Dan! Wait! I'm sorry" I scream after him pushing people out of my way. After a few minutes of running after him I know where he's going, he's going back to our flat. By the time I get there he's trying desperately to open the door but has no luck.
"Dan..."

Dan P.O.V

Tears were falling off my face blurring my vision. I just wanted to run into my room and be alone. I want to cry until I have no tears left to shed
"Dan..." I hear Phil's voice next to me. I struggle to open the door, my hands are shaking and my vision is unclear.
"FUCK!" I yell throwing the keys to the floor.
"Dan calm down" he puts a hand on my shoulder. His touch stops my body from trembling. I feel his arms wrap around me holding me into a hug. I can't do this anymore, I was tired of feeling weak and worthless. I was tired of hiding my feelings, I was tired of everything.
"Let me open the door" Phil whispers in my ear. He lets go of me making me shiver at the lack of warmth he's left me with. Soon enough the door opens and we make our way to the lounge. I sit on the couch trying hard to stop the tears.
"I'm sorry if I seemed pushy Dan" Phil hangs his head and plays with his long fingers, "I was being a jerk and I shouldn't have said those things. I understand if you don't want to tell me about your dreams, but I'm honestly worried about you Dan. You wake up in the mid-"
"They killed you" I blurted out. The tears had stopped falling.
"W-what?" He stuttered.
"Last night, in my dream, they pushed you off a cliff and killed you" I whispered. It sounded stupid once I said it out loud but in my dream every inch of me was full of terror.
"Who is 'they'" he asked quietly
"...t-this um" I struggled to find my words, " in every dream he's there, he has no name, he has no face. He knows my greatest fears. Phil he's a horrible person. He's hurt me so much and I just want him to stop. I just want to sleep! But he won't let me. He says these horrible things, blaming me for stuff that aren't even my fault." I bring my knees onto my chest fighting back tears.
"What does he do to you?"
"He murders me, he kills the people I love in front of me, he shows me things I don't want to see. Phil I just want him to stop" I let a tear slip. A cold finger wipes it away, I lean into Phil's touch.
"How long has this been going on for?" He asked making me look at him. His eyes were concerned. He didn't think I was crazy.
"Three years" I whisper.
"Oh god" he pulls me into a hug.
