Phil's POV

   Dan and I left the flat around 10 to go to the shopping centre. He said that Deliah's shop opens at 9:30 but doesn't book any appointments until 11. When the cab arrives, we get in and silently make our way to the shopping centre.

   When we arrive I quickly pay the cab driver and get out. I think back to the last time I was here. I was in pain, mourning, over Chris. I acted on my rage and smashed my phone. Thinking back to that, I don't regret my decision. If I hadn't have done that, I wouldn't have met Dan.

Dan has helped me so much. Not just with getting over Chris but with everything. I love him. This might be a bit much but I'd die for him. I really would.

I shake my focus back to my surroundings and cautiously look for Melapples Psychics. It shouldn't be too hard to find considering it's a psychic shop surrounded by more normal, every day shops.

"Hey, Dan? Do you know what shops are near it?" I ask into my phone. I don't worry about looking insane because people would just think I'm calling someone.

"Umm, I'm pretty sure there's a Foneshop and some book shop. Why don't you try looking at a map?" I hear Dan's voice respond.

"That's a good idea, thanks Dan."

I turn around to go back to a map I saw earlier and notice a mop of familiar brown curls. It's PJ. I look at him a bit closer and he doesn't seem to be with anyone. Hopefully Chris isn't here as well. Instead of staring at him looking like a creep I quickly move back to the map.

I see that the shop is on the other side of the centre and I quickly make my way towards it. When I reach the shop I can see bars across the shop's face.

"Dan, it's closed." I say in a monotone voice.

"What? No, it can't be. It's never closed. She's always-" Dan cuts himself off and I can hear quiet breathing coming from where he is.

"Do you have any idea where she could be?" I ask, he's obviously stressed over this. I would be too.

"I don't understand. She must have known we were coming. She has to be here. She can't, she can't not be here." His breathing gets even more heavy and I'm afraid that he'll pass out or something.

"Dan, Dan calm down. It'll be okay. We will find her. We'll find her and she'll return you to normal size." I say hoping it makes him feel better. "I promise."

His breathing slows and I calm down as well. We will find her. I'll make sure of it.
