"But weren't you in love with her?"
The words struck Phil like lightening.
‘With.. with Carrie?’ He stuttered.
Dan slowly nodded.
‘No. Of course not. Never was, never will.’
‘She’s beautiful, smart and funny.’ Dan mumbled.
‘You’re more beautiful. Smarter. And way funnier.’ Phil answered.
‘No I’m not. You could do so much better than me. Why would you choose me?’
‘Because I fell in love with you.’
‘You’re lying.’
‘No I’m not.’
‘Yes you are.’ Dan ran a hand trough his dark locks, ‘I can’t do this. I need to.. I don’t know. I’m going for a walk.’
Phil sighed and looked at his feet as he heard Dan get up and leave their apartment.
As soon as he’d heard the front door close he got up too and ran towards his bedroom, searching for his phone.
Dan walked trough the streets in the dark, hands in his pockets and eyes on the pavement.
His phone buzzed.
He didn’t react.
It buzzed again.
In fact it wouldn’t /stop/ buzzing.
He ignored it for a little while, but eventually got fed up with it, grabbed the cell out of his pocket and threw it across the street.
It hit a wall and fell into pieces onto the pavement.
He even walked over to check if it was really broken.
It was.
3 Hours had passed when he’d finally come back home.
Phil was nowhere to be seen, but Dan knew exactly where he was; in his room.
Dan slowly opened the door to the older boy’s room, Phil was lying in his bed in the dark.
But Dan knew he wasn’t asleep.
‘I’m sorry.’
‘It’s okay.’
‘I need to tell you something.’ Dan finally spat out.
Phil lifted the covers, inviting Dan to come lie with him.
The younger boy quickly took off his sneakers and crawled into the bed with Phil.
‘What did you want to tell me?’ Phil asked.
Dan was quiet for a few moments, before he answered: ‘I’m in love with you too.’
‘Did you get the texts I sent you?’
Dan grinned, ‘Probably. But I broke my phone.’
‘What do you mean “you broke your phone”?’
‘Well I threw it into a wall.’
Phil chuckled, ‘That is an example of why I love you.’
‘Because I break phones?’
‘No. Because you’re a little crazy and weird and I love that.’
‘I love you.’ Dan mumbled, curling up into a ball against Phil.
Phil wrapped his arms around him, ‘I love you too.’
‘What did you text me?’ Dan whispered.
Phil reached behind himself and grabbed his phone off his nightstand.
‘Here, read it.’
