Phils POV
holy shit. No this is a joke. Chris loves pj and they're joking. I've never seen Chris cry before. Wow um I don't know. "Chris I love you but not romantically."
He giggled and grabbed my hand, "that's good enough for me." He led us to the park and under the gazebo. The gazebo me and Dan laid on with pizza when I felt betrayed. No. Phil. No Dan he's bad for you.

We were sitting in the park and chatting when Chris sat up and asked me, "why do you like Dan if he likes Tess?" Uh what do I say. I'm sorry. Dan is hot. Dan is just like able.
"I don't like him." Chris knew I was lying. He replied with a snarky 'whatever you say.' And left. I grabbed my phone and walked home thinking about what Chris said. Why do I like him?
I got home and walked in kicking off my shoes next to the vent and headed toward the living area. I turned the corner to get dinner but when I got to the table I almost dropped my plate. There he was. Dan was just chilling with my mom and his mom in my kitchen.
"Hey Phil! Glad you decided to come back." My mom giggled and rubbed my arm. I smiled. "Come join us. I invited the Howells over." I sat down and silently ate without joining the conversation. After the meal the moms were cleaning up,"Phil just take Dan to your room or something." Oh god. But I did as my mother said and ran up the stairs as Dan followed.
"Why were you crying?" Dan was standing in the door way. After a moment of me not responding Dan took a step in and closed the door behind him. He spoke, "you don't need to tell me, but I just want to know if you're okay." I nodded with tears swelling up in my eyes. He pulled me into a hug. Why was he so sweet if he was such a fucking idiot. I cried into his warm embrace just pouring more and more tears into this dumb boy's chest. He pointed my chin up with a finger and we made direct eye contact. He leaned in slowly but I had to pull away. This boy was bad for me. I jolted out of the room and down the stairs to our mothers trying to make it less awkward.
"Hey Dan sweetie we should be heading home I have to get Lauren from daycare." Ah thank god no more awkward. Dan shook his head with a fake smile and bright red cheeks. We were saying our goodbyes and Dan pulled me into a hug. No matter how bad he was he's hugs were like a big teddy bear. I had to hug him back. He is a big teddy bear. When I realized the hug and the Howells were out the door I turned to my mother. And there she stood with a smirk on her face. I have her a confused look and she just rolled her eyes.
"That's why you were crying" my mom giggled, "over a boy." She looked and saw my frowning face. She pulled me into a hug and finished her statement, "and you're a ten he's a two. If he doesn't want you that's his loss." I giggled and hugged her back a little while after to run up to my room and pull of my pants. Damn I wish pants didn't exist boxers are so much more comfortable. I rolled onto my bed and looked into the room with the cute boy. Aka dans room. I made eye contact with him and he giggled and looked back at his phone. I took out an empty page from a journal and started to doodle. Occasionally looking up at Dan. I drew two people. One comforting the other and the other dead inside, broken. But the boy was there to comfort him, and he wasn't as broken. I smiled and closed my curtains. I shut off my lights and plugged in my phone. I got under the covers and went to bed with the beautiful brown haired boy on my mind.
