Keep Quiet (Phan AU)

Chapter 9

Dans P.O.V

--

As we get into the car i can immediately feel my nerves beginning too rise. Something in the pit off my stomach indicating that things were not going too go as I planned.

My mother seemed on edge, a little upset in fact. Now, considering the circumstances and the things she's put me through during the past and in the present today I still cared for her and that is what angered me. She was too fixated on her job too actually consider putting her sons existence into appreciation.

There she sat, her hands shaking in the process and her breathing a little shaken up. She looked scared and almost as if she feared for her life in that moment.

"Mum, is everything okay?" I decided too ask, seeing as I also feared for my life as she had trouble driving. She looked like she was about too faint any minute. She was as white as a sheet off paper.

"Yeah" she managed too breathe out.

"Mum!Please... you can tell me anything" I replied, sending her a reassuring smile.

She pulled the car over too a stop and instantly began too wipe tears that escaped her eyes.

"Oh mum" I say whilst I held her with sympathy.

"He...he"she tried each time too choke out the words at least but it was becoming a challenge and I could see that.

"Come on mum, its okay, say it"

"He hit me Daniel, your dad" Nothing but anger burned through into my body. it was okay too abuse me but not anybody else that I love. He cant take that happy and warm smile away from me. I wont let him, hes taken everything else.

"Oh mum, it will be okay. You need too leave him, you know this marriage hasn't been working out since you were pregnant with me" I say with confidence. id be lying if I said I wasn't eager too persuade her as I couldn't take the physical and emotional abuse anymore but I was also eager too keep the abuse a secret as I know that even though I don't spend as much time as I used too with her, I know it will break her and I could not do that. Not with everything shes been through.

"Daniel, tell me the truth, has he ever hit you physically?" she asked sobbing in the process, she looked up too meet my face, almost trying too examine whether I was lying. Oh shit.

"No, not that I know off, I'm usually straight upstairs" I reply confidently.

She takes a deep breath off relief and decides too start up the car on our way too this mysterious friends house and I was anxious. I wasn't used too socialising really, I usually just stayed up in my room and played countless video games.

"Good" she finally said and before I knew it, we were pulled up by the house in which I don't understand why we drove as it was on the same street and I decided not too question it as she wasn't exactly mentally stable right now.

I walk up too the door and oddly the garden looks familiar but my head is too in a state right now too actually remember.

My mum knocks and almost immediately the door is opened and we have been welcomed inside by a tall woman with bright vibrant blue eyes but they almost looked cold, something didnt seem right about her so I made sure there was fine distant within us.

"Hello!" she spoke with enthusiasm, "Welcome too my home, my nephew will be down any second"she smiles and then we stand, waiting for this mysterious boy too show himself.

And thats when i saw him, the one and only. Phil Lester. I didn't exactly know how too react in this moment as i was surrounded by people but as soon as he noticed my presence he froze with fear.
