And here we are...

100 chapters... Who would've thought this story would become what it did? I sure didn't. So before you read, I just want to give the biggest thank you to everyone who came back every single Sunday to read my story. I definitely wouldn't be here without any of you! I love you guys, thank you.

Now, let's get on the final chapter of 'And Then I Met Phil'.

Enjoy!

WARNING (yup even in the last chapter): Talk of Dan's parents and suicide

Dan's P.O.V.

After last night, Phil and I almost passed out immediately. So to be honest, I was a little shocked to find the bed empty when I awoke this morning.

So here I am, just laying in our bed alone. A single note was taped to Phil's pillow so I picked it up and read it.

Bear,

I wanted nothing more than to lay around this morning and just watch your beautiful face as you slept but I have a deadline for uni I need to take care of. I'm sorry baby but I'll be home by 1.

I love you to the moon and back a million times over,

Phil

I sighed softly and folded the note, tucking it away in my bedside drawer. My hands froze when I spotted a notebook of mine sitting there, dusty and having not been touched since we moved in almost a year ago.

My fingers played around with the hem of the book before I got a clean grasp on it and pulled it out. It was a black notebook; it's my journal that I started right after my parents died. It was supposed to help me with my feelings and emotions.

Swallowing hard, I run my hand against the hard cover before slowly opening the book to the first page...

August 29th, 2006

It's been a week since my parents died. I honestly still don't know how I feel. Adam's crushed and so am I but it's weird because it still hasn't kicked in. I can't believe my parents are really gone.

I turned the paged and was met with more of my old handwriting.

October 2nd, 2006

It's been a month now and it's kicked in. Adam and I have officially moved into my gram's place in London. My gram is still trying to figure out what to do with mum and dad's furniture.

I guess I wasn't much of writer.

January 3rd, 2007

They say time heals all wounds. It's not getting any easier though. Adam's doing better though, he even got himself a girlfriend named Victoria. She's the sweetest thing honestly. It's good to see Adam somewhat happy again.

A smile cracks at my lips. Victoria truly was a saving grace.

March 19th, 2007

I know I'm supposed to write about my feelings with my parents but I wanted to write something different. I got paired with Phil Lester today in class to work on a project. He's so hot but I have stay focused. He's a player and I can't fall for him

I chuckled and shook my head, catching a glimpse of my wedding ring. "See how that worked out for you." I mumbled.

April 2nd, 2007

I ended up doing that entire project myself cause all Lester wanted to do was get into my pants. I'm going to talk to my teacher and have him not put me in a partnership with Phil anymore.

I frowned somewhat. It's so strange to think how different Phil was not even five years ago.

As I flip to the next page, I noticed a huge time jump.

October 18th, 2009

Phil Lester reentered my life again today. I haven't spoken to him since our project almost three years ago and suddenly, he's interested in me. What the hell is going on?

October 19th, 2009

The wildest fucking thing happened today. Phil fucking Lester beat the shit out of Jonathan! I was hurried off to the nurse's office before I could even mutter a word to Phil and find out why he did it. And later when I did see him, he told me that he used to bully his sister. Like holy hell, why is this all suddenly happening?

One other thing happened too... I ALMOST FUCKING KISSED HIM. I'M SUPPOSED TO HATE HIM AND I ALMOST KISSED HIM. WHY GOD WHY?

I sighed. Did I have strong feelings or what?

October 19th, 2009 Part 2

So... I ended up kissing Phil. That, and now he's my fucking boyfriend. Man, I don't even know what happened to be honest. But I think this might be a good thing... is this a good thing?

There was no more written when I turned the page so I decided to answer my own question.

With a pen in hand, I began to write.

February 22nd, 2012

It is a very good thing 2009 Dan, if anything, it's an amazing thing. Becoming Phil's boyfriend was one of the best decisions we ever made. Hell, now we're one half of Mr. Lester. It was the right choice to pick Phil and it's a choice I'll live to love for the rest of our lives. He's everything we ever could've wanted 2009 Dan. Smart, charming, handsome, funny, cute and all around one of the most amazing people on this planet. How happy he makes us, it's unreal. He makes me feel like a million bucks when I feel like I'm down in the dumps. He stands by our side through it all and picked one of our favorite places to propose. He's the best of the best and he loves us. He loves us so much it hurts. And God do we love him too. He's the best thing that's ever happened to us. So yes 2009 Dan, it was a good thing... It was the best decision we've ever made.

I click my pen closed and smile as I close the notebook, gently placing it back inside the drawer. I place the pen down on my dresser and look towards the doorway when I hear a familiar voice.

"Hey baby." Phil said.

I smiled and my heart warmed seeing him. I held open my arms as an invitation for him to climb back into bed for cuddles. He chuckled and slipped off his shoes and climbed into the bed. His arms wrapped around me as I laid my head against his chest.

"Did you finish your deadline?" I mumbled.

"I did. Professor said it was one of the best he's ever read."

I looked up and him and smiled. "Good."

He matched my smile and leaned down to kiss me. I met him in the middle and together we shared a loving kiss. We remained in that position until our lungs burned for air. Even when we pulled away, we still remained close.

"I love you." I said suddenly.

"I love you too bear."

I snuggled deeper into his chest and sighed in content, his arms wrapping around me tighter.

Three years ago I was a suicidal teenager who had nothing to live for.

Today I'm married to the best man in the entire world and I intend on starting a family of our own with him.

It may seem like life is out to get you and that there's nothing you can do to stop it. That's not even close to the case though.

Since the death of my parents, I thought I'd never learn to be happy again. I never thought I could love someone without feeling the guilt of not needing my parents anymore.

But look at me now. I have the most amazing family and the most amazing husband. Things get better. It doesn't stay horrible for long.

I felt that way for a long time...

And then I met Phil and I knew everything was going to be okay.

Let's just take a moment to let our hearts hurt shall we?

...

Got to be honest, my heart hurt so much writing this chapter but we all knew it had to be done.

Anyways, I want to thank you all so much for tuning for the last 2 years and that I can't wait to see you all in a few weeks for the sequel!

Thank you all for making this possible and helping me make this storyline come to life.

Until next time,
