Dan’s PoV

“DAN!”

Who was that? I turned around to see who it was. There was no one there. I sighed, then turned back to face the water. My arms were placed at my sides, my hands pointing outwards. I leaned forward a bit looking down at the water, mesmerised by the ripples the rain created. I leaned forward just enough so that I would fall.

“DAN WAIT!”

There was that voice again, the unmistakeable voice of Phil. It sounded like he was right next to me. It was too late though, I was already falling. I closed my eyes, waiting to hit the water. I didn’t though. Instead I felt someone grab hold of my hand. I opened my eyes to see that I was dangling above the water. I looked up to see Phil. He had jumped over the railing and was now crouched on the ledge, one hand holding me up and the other holding onto the railing.

“Dan, what are you doing?” He yelled above the thunder.

“I can’t take it anymore, I’m ending it all.”

“You have so much to live for though. Why are you doing this?”

“Because I love you Phil and it hurts. It hurts because I know I can’t have you.”

“If you never ask you never know. How long has this been going on for?” Phil asked, just as there was another roar of thunder and a flash of lightening.

“Almost a year.”

“Why didn’t you tell me anything?”

“Because you were with Hayley and I know you wouldn’t love me.”

“Like I said, if you never ask you never know.”

“Is it too late to ask?”

“It’s never too late.” Phil replied, a flash of lightening casting a quick light across his face that was dampened with rain and tears.

“Phil, I love you.”

“And I love you too.” He smiled at me briefly, then that smile quickly vanished. I realised the problem. His grip on my hand was slipping, and so was his grip on the railing. If he didn’t let go of my hand soon, we would both end up in the water.

“Dan, try and pull yourself up!” Phil yelled. I tried, but I couldn’t do it.

“I can’t.”

“Don’t say that Dan.”

“I really can’t Phil. Just let me go.”

“No Dan. If you go, I’m going with you.”

“No you’re not Phil. You have so much going for you. Go back to Hayley and live the rest of your life. Just let me go.”

I looked into his eyes, and saw nothing but fear, sadness and inner conflict. I knew the question he was asking himself, should I let go? He looked at his hand holding mine, then to the hand holding onto the railing, then back to me. I just stared into his eyes, telling him that he knows he should let go of my hand. He closed his eyes and a single tear fell, I knew he had made his decision. I know what he decided as well. He was going to let me go.

“If you say so Dan…” He muttered.

“Goodbye Ph-“

Before I could finish, I felt myself falling, but Phil still had a hold of my hand. He had let go of the railing. As we fell, he wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped my arms around him. He looked straight into my eyes.

“I love you Dan. If you go, I’m going with you.” He whispered.

“I love you to.” I replied.

I kissed him before we both fell in the freezing water. Under the water, I opened my eyes and saw Phil was already looking at me. We looked at each other, and then he leaned in to kiss me for what I knew would be the last time. Once he pulled away, he nodded and we both breathed in a lungful of water. Everything went black. We had died in each other’s arms. We had left this cruel world together.

Phil’s PoV

I awoke again in the rain. At first I didn’t know where I was, what with all the sirens, flashing lights and general commotion. I was standing by the river. I thought I fell in? I went up to someone dressed in police uniform and tapped them on the shoulder, trying to get the guys attention. He shivered. Then he turned to the guy next to him, who was wearing an identical uniform.

“Did you just feel a cool breeze?” He asked his friends.

“No, why?”

“I just felt one go past my shoulder.”

“Maybe it’s a ghost. Oooooooh!” The friend did some really bad ghost impression and they both fell into silent fits of laughter.

“Not now Ben, two guys have just died.” The first one said, all emotion gone from his face.

“I know, it’s a shame isn’t it.” The guy called Ben said. “And they were found in each other’s arms, it was horrible seeing them being separated so they could be put on stretchers.”

“I know. What do you think this all was?”

“Suicide. But I think it was just one of them. The woman who called us, Hayley McKenzie, said that the one with the black hair, a Phil Lester, called her saying that he had to stop the other guy jumping, Dan Howell.”

“Did she say anything else?”

“Yes. She said that she and Phil both knew something was wrong with this Dan bloke. Also that Mr Lester loved Mr Howell. I think love may have been what caused the poor guy to resort to jumping off the bridge.”

My heart was beating a thousand miles an hour. Wait…I can’t even feel a heart. I’m dead? But if I’m dead, where’s Dan? He can’t be far. I started to walk around, going past police officers and ambulance staff. Then I saw lots of people crowded around two particular ambulances. I walked closer, and saw that the ambulances contained a stretcher each. I went to the one on the right. I walked into the ambulance and looked down at who was lying on the stretcher. It was Dan. His hair was damp and sticking to his face. His skin is the palest I have seen it. His beautiful eyes were closed, but hopefully I will see those eyes again soon. I run a hand across his cheek, before placing a kiss on his forehead.

“I hope we meet again soon my Danosaur.” I muttered.

Then I turned and left the ambulance, going towards the one next to it. I reached the open doors, and then I froze. Inside this ambulance lay my body on a stretcher, and I saw him. Dan. He was standing there, looking down at my dead body. I was too shocked to say anything. He turned his head to look out of the ambulance, and they rested on me. Those gorgeous brown eyes. At first neither of us said anything, and then I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him.

“Dan! I thought I’d lost you!” I said, burying my head in his chest. He laughed softly then wrapped his arms around me.

“I thought I’d lost you as well.” He mumbled into my hair.

“Are we really dead?” I asked.

“I think we are.” He replied.

We just stood there for a moment in each other’s embrace. I pulled my head back and looked up at him, and then I placed a gentle kiss upon his lips.

“I love you Danosaur, and don’t you ever forget that.”

“I could never forget something as amazing as that. And I love you to my little lion.”

Third person PoV

A week later was the funeral. Both Dan and Phil’s families found it fitting that their funerals were on the same day. After a service full of tears and happy memories of the two of them, they were finally laid to rest. By each other’s side. No one at the funeral noticed the two boys standing in the distance, holding hands and one resting their head on the other’s shoulder. No one noticed the boys who had just been laid to rest standing by and watching their own funeral. No one ever saw them anymore, but they didn’t mind. All that mattered to them was that for the rest of eternity they had each other.

This just goes to show that true love stories never have endings.
