The L Word (phan short story)

Chapter 12

(this is v short, I'm sorry but I really needed to update- sorry it's been so long, I've been very busy with school l trying to get late work in so I can go to the end of the year fieldtrip)

One month later, March, the snow was finally melting. Phil and I were still seeing each-other after school much more often. We would hang out to study for our finals in May. Everything was going okay. Minus the fact that I was down to just Phil as a friend. Zoe and Alfie don't talk to me anymore, I hardly saw Louise and Chris and Pj don't even acknowledge my existence- which was fine with me. I was happy with phil. My mum never end questioned- in fact she kinda leaves me alone now. Jack and Emily are I think scared of me.. Phil makes me happy but when I'm not with him I've never been so sad. Mum has been sneaking out on weekends, leaving me with Jack and Emily and I'm pretty sure she's seeing my dad. My next step was to find out.

It was Saturday March 21st and I was texting Phil.

Me: idk where my mum is. tonight i am going to find out though

Phil: How?

Me: I'm not going to go to sleep

Phil: But do you even know when she's been coming home?

Me: it's been at least after 1:00am

Phil: I could come over and help you with your secret mission

Me: would you?

Phil: of course!

Me: You're the best

I set down my phone and got out of bed. My mum had left an hour ago and it was 7:00pm. "Dan we're hungry" Emily whined as I walked into the living room. "I will order pizza just give me a bit." I smiled walking over to the door to unlock it. "Where's mum?" Jack asked, looking up from mums shattered iPad. "I don't know" I shrugged. "Danny how come we never play anymore?" Emily pouted getting up and dropping her dolls on the carpet. "Um.. Let's play now" I kneeled down to meet her gaze. "Really?" Emily squealed. I nodded and followed her to the rug near the couch and tv.

Emily tossed me a naked blonde doll and some clothes. An uncomfortable feeling shot through me. "You have to name her" Emily said excitedly. "Erm.. Her name is Becky" I tugged a tiny orange dress over the doll.

"Hi Becky I'm Daisy!" Emily baby talked pretending to be the doll. Just then the door opened and in came a pale Phil. His hair looked silky and his eyes looked dark. He was wearing a dark red button up and he turned to face me. I froze in awe of his beauty.

"Aww" Phil laughed. I dropped the doll and stood up, in the process I tripped over the doll and her body cracked. "Hey!" Emily shouted. I looked down at the doll, "sorry Becky" I jumped over the toys and greeted Phil. "Hi jack, hello Emily!" Phil smiled brightly. They both waved. "I was thinking pizza" I said grabbing the house phone off the counter. Phil nodded. "Actually I'll use my cell phone" I raised an eyebrow and set the home phone back on the crib. "Phil it's in my room, why don't you come along" I hinted. "Oh" Phil smirked and followed me into my room.

I gently closed the door behind us, Phil caught me by surprise and pushed me up against it. "Well hi" I smiled. "Hi" Phil giggled kissing me softly. "You look so lovely" I bit my lip. "So do you" Phil kissed me again, except aggressively. I pulled him in by his hips. "Babe-babebabebabe" I interrupted the moment. "Yeah?" Phil asked. "Pizza" I said cupping his face in my hands. "Right" he rolled his eyes then laughed. I grabbed my cell phone and walked back into the living room with Phil right behind me.

"That took you a while." Jack cocked his head. "Jack." I gave him a stern look. "Emily did you know Dan fancies someone?" Jack began to smirk. "NO!" I yelled jumping over and grabbing him and covering his mouth, jack licked my hand causing my to pull away. "Ew!" I groaned. Phil stood in awe. "He fancies Kate" Emily smiled brightly, "we don't see Kate anymore" she frowned. "Emily, Kate and I broke up." I sighed. I knew I had to tell her. Even though she was young, I prayed I could tell her about Phil and I. "Emily, I fancy Phil now" I pulled Phil over gently by his hand. He only held on with a pinky. "So..?" Emily looked confused. "That's okay! Danny a boy can like a boy" she smiled brightly. For her being only 7 I was extremely surprised she didn't laugh. I loosed my body and kissed phil on the cheek.

"You two will get married some day" Emily said excitedly. I looked at Phil and Phil looked at me. "Maybe" Phil grinned. "You never know" I whispered.
