That may not sound bad to most people but to Dan it was death for Phil. These were not just your usual bullies. They were capable of killing someone, Dan had seen it before and with his whole heart he did n/ememot/emem want that to be Phil./em/p
p data-p-id="5479e29dc48e93b9b622689cf1657fe3"emPhil Lester sat on a park bench staring out across an empty park. He knew that he probably shouldn't be there yet his new burst of confidence that Dan gave him made him feel like he was invincible. /emstrongemHe wasn't. /em/strongemDan knew that but Phil seemed too blind to realise. /em/p
p data-p-id="8835166e7bab5c7d57a83974fe47732f"emDan Howell played with different scenarios in his head. What would happen if the bullies were with Phil now and he couldn't save him. Dan couldn't bare to think of the situation. How could he possibly help a broken boy win a fight with three that are strong? It was /emstrongemimpossible/em/strongem for Phil to win. /em/p
p data-p-id="d0501d199f49def64ca6f8417d154cb3"emPhil was captured too far in his own mind to even wonder about Dan. He felt super human, like nothing could ever stop him. he continued to stare around the empty park. He (like Dan) ran different scenarios through his mind yet his ended differently. Even Phil knew that it wouldn't end as perfectly as it did in his mind. There was no way it could. The difference was Phil didn't know the whole gruesome truth of what his bullies were actually capable of. /em/p
p data-p-id="f5ec7460ec988006ade777c5ae886a80"emThe image was crystal clear in Dan's mind, he seemed to know exactly what was going to happen and he knew that it would come true if he didn't talk to Phil. It was a compliacted situation because just as the older boy got confidence, the younger had no choice but to crush it. It was best because it is better to lose a small amount of confidence than be killed. Dan still doesn't know how he left the group. No one ever leaves that group. It seems like it's an unwritten rule. /em/p
p data-p-id="626780288d362a1ee294550971229040"emIf you want to leave the group they'll beat you until you can't remember that you were ever in the group. Then they'll bully you and you'll never understand why. For Phil though, this was a different story. They bullied him for who he was, something he couldn't help. The fact that he was gay. /em/p
p data-p-id="0bffd1eb8ea39a396b99ac1374c151cc"emNeither Dan or Phil wanted to think about it anymore and the two's minds drifted onto other things such as llama's and ostriches./em/p
