*Phil's POV*

It's been 3 days since my surgery, I felt better now my stitches still hurt but it was bearable now. "Hey, are you okay?" Dan came into the room setting a tray of food on my bed "Yeah I'm fine, my stitches hurt a bit but it's bearable" I sighed. "Don't worry that's just temporary, you'll be better soon" he smiled at me "The pain will go away, but the scars will remain, but it shouldn't matter my body is ugly with all the bruises anyways" I muttered. I looked at Dan who was frowning at me now "I'm sorry" I said quietly as he sat on the chair next to my bed and took my hand "You don't have to be sorry, and your body isn't ugly,its beautiful those marks show how brave and strong you are they show that you're a fighter" he smiled and squeezed my hand, he got up and kissed me quickly, I pouted at him when he pulled away because I didn't want him too and he just laughed which exposed his dimple "you need to eat" he said "I don't want to I hate hospital food its so gross" I said making a face. Dan just laughed and took the tray and put a spoonful of rice into my mouth "Too bad, you have to eat even if it means spoon feeding you" Hospital food was disgusting I didn't like it tasted bad but I couldn't say no to Dan "I tried sneaking in something else for you, but the doctor caught me" Dan said rolling his eyes "Its okay I'll be out soon tho" I smiled at him. "By the way have you eaten?" I asked him concerned. "Yes Phil don't worry, my mom is always on my case since I'm here basically 24/7" he assured me, that made me feel so much better.

"Philip, I suppose you're wondering when you can leave" the doctor said coming in making me and Dan jump a little. "Based on your recent tests you can go home tomorrow, but.." Oh no, there's a catch "but what?" I asked "You'll have to see a psychiatrist tomorrow morning and then weekly after you get discharged" he explained "But I don't need to see anyone" I said calmly. "Mr. Lester this is serious, I'm not giving you a choice, she will be here tomorrow and you must see her" he said before walking off. There was silence in the room, I didn't want to talk to anyone I was fine all I needed was Dan. "I know something that'll cheer you up Phil" Dan said ending the silence, I looked at him "My parents said you're going to stay with us until my dad sorts everything out, my mom cleaned up and changed the setting of the guest room although I told her you can stay in my room and she just raised her eyebrow at me" he laughed "Really?" My face instantly lit up and he nodded at me "Dad and I will just go to your place while you're at your session tomorrow and then we will take you home" I guess it'll be worth it, I was so happy right now.

The next day I sat in the psychiatrists office" a woman with long brown hair that was tied up entered the room and smiled at me "You must be Philip" she said "Just Phil.." I said quietly "Okay Phil, I'm Dr. Brown, you're scheduled to see me weekly for  a month keep that in mind. How are you feeling?" She asked "I feel okay" and she looked at me "I just need to ask, why did you do it Phil?" I looked down I wanted to leave "I..don't know.." This is going to be a long session.

*Dan's POV*

I hope Phil's session was going okay, my dad and I were driving to Phil's place to collect his clothes "I'll come with you, I don't trust Ben" my dad said before I got out the car "It's fine dad, he won't dare lay a hand on me you wait outside I'll only be 10 mins" I said before closing the car door, the  house door was open I wasn't shocked, I went up to Phil's room and packed his clothes in a suit case quickly I noticed a picture of me and Phil on the study table I smiled and packed it too. "What the fuck are you doing in my house" it was Ben "Getting Phil's clothes, the doctor wants him staying at my place under adult supervision" I said cooly he didn't seem happy "Tell that faggot he better come back here before I find him" I looked at Ben my face was red from anger "Shut the fuck up Ben, he's staying with me and my family, you can't do anything" I was about to leave but he grabbed my arm tightly and it hurt "Don't tell me what I can't do Howell or" I pushed Ben with full force and he bumped into the wall "I would watch my words Ben, are you really that dumb to threaten me when my father is outside" I grabbed the suitcase and left without saying anything, I don't want to make matters worse right now. "Your mom texted, Phil's done with his session they're waiting for us now" we drove to the hospital and I texted my mom saying we're outside and she came out helping Phil, I guess his stitches still hurt I got out of the car and helped him sit down before getting in next to him. I kissed his cheek "Hi" I smiled, he smiled back at me he looked so happy just seeing him smile made me forget about all the problems going on "Hey babe" he said softly so only I could hear, I felt my cheeks turn pink and I laughed.

"Your father and I will get dinner ready, you can help Phil get settled" my mom said, I helped Phil go upstairs and brought the suitcase up and closed the door "I found this bed spread in your closet I really like it" I said setting it on the bed, it was blue and green "I like that too" Phil smiled and he layed down on the bed "I need to lay down for a bit" he said, I layed down next to him I just layed next to him I didn't put my arms around him as I didn't want to cause any pain. "Dan?" I looked over at Phil "W-what would've you done if I didn't make it" my heart dropped "Honestly Phil, I couldn't live without you, I don't know what I'd do" I said quietly. "I-Im so sorry, I was so selfish, I'm so sorry Dan" he was crying, I wiped his tears away "Ssshh babe it's okay, you don't have to apologize, you're okay that's what matters" I whisper softly. "I don't deserve you Dan" what was he saying "Phil stop talking crazy, I'm the one who doesn't deserve you, you're amazing you've helped me so much, I'm a better person than how I was before you made me  a better person Phil" I said moving his fringe from his eyes "And I love you so much" he smiled up at me "I love you too" I smiled at him and hovered over him careful not to put any weight on him I leaned down and kissed him softly but passionately, he kissed me back, I broke the kiss and kissed his cheek and traced kisses along his jaw line and then back to his lips he cupped my cheeks as he kissed me back. "BOYS! DINNERS READY!" I heard my mom call from downstairs I groaned and got up, "let's go eat" I said to Phil laughing quietly, he was blushing and laughed I helped him get up and we both went down for dinner.
