Invisible Stars- Phan

7- Dans Pov

I stared numbly as I cut the ham filled sandwiches, thinking about yesterday. Perfect boy? Damaged? What was he on about? I tried not to dwell on it, telling myself he was just angry. I'm, of course, still shaken. I've never seen him angry, especially that angry and it scared me. But, years of trauma does that to you: it changes you. And me and Phil aren't the same little kids we were. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear coughing, I stop cutting the sandwich and head to Phil's room, knocking on the door "Phil? Are you alright in there?" No answer for 10 minutes, then I heard the voice of Phil yelling through the door he's fine. I guess he still doesn't want to talk to me, understandable. I head back to the kitchen where I see my phone ringing, seeing who it is I angrily pick up the phone "hey baby!" I sigh angrily and roll my eyes "you lied to me Oliver" what me and Phil have is special and I know what he's trying to do "what are you talking about?" I rub my eyes and lean against the counter "you told me Phil threatened you. He didn't, you lied" I heard him groan through the phone making me more angry, why me? Why us? "I did no such thing, your so called friend threatened me" I clicked my tongue in frustration, looking around me "I was wondering why it sounded so unlike Phil and then I figured, it wasn't Phil. You don't like Phil, that's fine but you didn't have to lie about him" I went and sat down on the couch, taking my sandwich with me "babe, I don't know what your talking about" I throw my head back into the couch, groaning "Oliver! Tell me the goddamn truth! Do you think I'm stupid?!"

There was a pause. I take a bite of my sandwich while waiting for him to respond "fine. Yes, I lied. But to protect you, he's bad news and I didn't want him to corrupt you" I can't believe I'm hearing this. What did I ever see in him?! Corrupt me? What does he think Phil is? A witch?!"Oh my god, are you having a laugh? You're jealous of him and tried to ruin our friendship, and you almost did!" I gave him all of my attention, abandoning my sandwich and tightening my grip around the phone. No response "Phil's my friend and you not only tried making him look like a bad person but exposed his secret when he clearly wasn't ready to share it!" I don't approve of smoking, neither does Phil but it's clearly a coping mechanism and while he doesn't approve of it, he's obviously accidentally got himself addicted and needs help. He needs to be taught a good and healthy coping mechanism "smoking is bad, so he's bad!" I grit my teeth, praying to god Phil's not listening "no he's not! Both me and Phil are orphans and smoking is an unhealthy coping mechanism! What you did is unforgivable and I hope I don't ever see you again! We're done!" I slam my phone down, sighing and throw my head into my palms groaning

I sat on my bed, smiling up at the sky. I draw my zodiac, Gemini, in my palm with my finger and once it glowed red, I swept my two fingers across it and watched as the zodiac formed in the sky. I smile more, feeling lucky to have such a lovely power. While Phil can go invisible on command, I can only really use mine at night. I can use my power in the daylight, but there's no point because you can't see the stars. In the corner of my eye I see our hallway light switch on, making me curious. I get up and open my bedroom door, seeing a floating duvet and pyjamas. Phil can go invisible at will but you can always see his clothes, unless he takes them off then you can't see him at all. I watch intensely, watching him pace around until he collapses on the couch. That's my cue. I run over and help him up, watching him turn visible "what are you doing up?" He continued looking down and I suddenly realised how red he is, I place my hand on his forehead feeling how hot he is "oh my god you have a fever!" He coughs and clears his throat "I'm fine" I help him up to the bedroom, letting him put all his weight on me. Once we got to the bedroom, I helped him in bed, taking the duvet off his shoulders and throwing it over him. After that, I sat down on his bed sighing "you insane man, you're not going into work tomorrow" he coughed and looked down at my hand that had a burn in the shape of Gemini on the palm "look, Phil. The fight-"
"Don't call it a fight" I nod and clear my throat "-yesterday. I'm really sorry, I talked to Oliver and turns out he did lie. He was jealous and tried to ruin our friendship, I ended the relationship" Phil looked at me and took my hands, holding them tight "it's ok, friends argue and that's good. That's healthy" I nod and hum in agreement, remembering something "speaking of healthy, smoking is not. You need to quit" he sighed, looking away from me and I could tell he knew I was right "I know Dan, I know how bad it is but I can't stop"  I made him look at me, smiling sweetly at him and staring into his eyes "when did this happen?"
