A/N- Aaaaaaaaaaaannnd here's the second chapter!!! I'm really excited to get into this story, I think it's gonna be a lot of fun:)
Disclaimer: I do not own Dan and Phil, Dan and Phil's parents, or Tyler, Troye, PJ, and Chris and this didn't happen (well it most likely didn't xD). I only own the story. :)
___________
[Dan's Pov]So picture the two people that have been there for you your entire life and 9 months before it. They're nourishing you, supporting you, paying for you, encouraging you to follow your dreams and to keep going. Now picture that being ripped away and gone. Gone forever. Because that is exactly what is happening to me. And I want it to end.
"Son, I understand. This is hard, believe me, I know. But right now, we need to sort things out. You will have plenty of time to grieve and let it all out, I promise," a man says trying to console me. I don't need consolation right now. I need love and support from my parents right now. But that's the one thing I can't have. I want these people to know that. I want them to understand that the pain I'm going through is immense and not going to die down for a while.
But instead, I just nod and squirm closer to the group. Might as well be productive to distract myself from my misery.
"Alright. What's your name, sweetheart?" a lady asks, smiling at me.
"Daniel Howel," I mumble. I think I've forgotten how to speak.
"Okay Daniel. Would you like to keep anything in this pile?" a man asks me, gesturing to the pile.
I walk over to it, examining the contents. I instantly grab my laptop, so thankful that it made it through the fire. I also take my keyboard. I love music. It will help get me through this. I leave an old dusty- no, ashy umbrella there. I put an old pair of my dad's sneakers aside. I reach and take some shirts of mine and hair stuff as well. I will need that. I also take some anime merchandise of mine. Can't live without anime, can you.
I walk back to them, with my belongings in my hands.
"Alright, Daniel. That looks awfully heavy. You can go put that over by your bag." the woman says. I had dropped my book-bag earlier when I first saw my burned down house.
I put my stuff there and they ask me more questions.
"Okay. Daniel. We have some questions for you." a man says.
I nod in understanding."Do you have any family here in the area?" he asks. I do, in fact, have an uncle close by here but I have NO desire to live with him. He's a drunk. Addicted to alcohol. He says it numbs the pain. Almost had me try it once, but I have good judgement when it comes to that stuff and I turned it away immediately. He is just not fit to care for me.
So I just say, "No." Might as well just skip the drunk uncle stories.
"Alright. Do you have any desire to go to foster care?" he asks. I instantly shake my head. I would never go to foster care. Going to live with a family I just meet and call them my parents. Yeah, right. Totally.
~[(A/N- I don't want to offend anyone in foster care or who is fostering a kid. You are all awesome. Dan is just too afraid to want to go to foster care because he's shy and stuff and wants familiar guardians.)]~
"Then do you have any close family friends able to take care of you?" he asks. I nod my head quickly, thinking of Phil. Phil's mum would definitely be able take care of me. Im like another son for her.
"Last name?" he asks me.
"Lester."
____________[Phil's Pov]
"3, 2, 1... IF YOU LOVE ME LET ME GOOOOOOOO!" I scream at the top of my lungs, possibly shaking my whole entire house. "IF YOU LOVE ME LET ME GOOOOOOOO! CAUSE THESE WORDS ARE KNIVES THAT OFTEN LEAVE SCAARS!!! THE FEAR OF FALLING APAAR-"
I was interrupted of my Panic! At The Disco fest by my mom whipping open the door.
"Phillip Lester, why oh why in the world are you screaming so loud?" she asks. It wasn't my fault. How do you not scream when the famous chorus of "This is Gospel" plays? It's literally impossible.
"I'm listening to This is Gospel by Panic! At The Disco," I replied.
"Alright but can you keep it down a little? You were so much quieter yesterday," she says, understanding my musical taste and love for Panic but wanting to actually enjoy her time home and away from work.
"Alright mom," I agree. "I'm going to text Dan now anyways," I take out my earbuds and roll them up around my ipod.
My mom goes downstairs and I take out my phone.
Hey Dan-Dan, how was school today?
-PhilI always try to be really supportive of him because I know how tough his life at school is. I just don't get why people would be so mean to him. He's such a nice person and he's really fun once you get to know him.
Dan is my best friend and he has been since we were much younger. I don't even care that he's 4 years younger than me. It doesn't matter. He's like my brother.
Well, maybe I wish he was more than my brother...
I am bisexual and I've known for a while. Dan was the first person I told and he was so accepting and supportive. How can you not fall in love with Daniel Howell? How can you not?
I mean, this may sound really weird, being that I am 21 and he is 17. It also is most likely is confusing that I'm not at college right now. I WILL EXPLAIN.
So the college part. I am currently taking a break from college. I'm confused about which path to take and what future to make. My mom and everyone understands. My mom helps and supports me any chance she can get and gives me such good advice and unconditional love. I love her so much.
[(A/N- This is not true; Phil completed a degree in English Language and Linguistics and then a post graduate in the Department of Theatre, Film and television, going on to obtain a Master of Arts in Video Postproduction with Specialisation in Visual Effects at the University of York. According to Wikitubia/Youtube Wikia)]
And Dan. Dan. I have been in love with Daniel James Howell for a long time. He is so supportive, so kind, always makes me laugh, and his eyes. His eyes. I could get lost in them for ages. And his smile. It could light up a whole room. I love Dan Howell. I love him, I love him, I love him.
But as good of a friend as he is, I know he'd never feel the same way.
