Phil's Point of View

"I will tell him today.."

"He will know today.."

"He will find out what happened.."

"I just need to tell him.."

I kept repeating the same sentences, sure that I would tell him today.

I look up and see my house a few blocks away. I hope he would allow me this. Though I already did it, it means that he cannot stop me.

That's my plan. Already do what I wanna do and after that I ask him if I'm allowed. It's the only way that he would allow me.

I reached my door and got the keys from my pocket. I unlocked the door and closed it, going upstairs to leave my stuff.

I reach my room and leave my stuff. I take out my tie and shoes, leaving me with my mismatched socks.

I gave a big, loud sigh and said, "I will tell him today, no ifs, no buts, whatever happens, I will tell him today."

I went downstairs and entered the living room, seeing him watching the latest football game that I don't really care about.

"D-dad." I said aloud to get his attention. He was continuing to watch, not noticing me.

"dAD." I said louder and he looked at me.

"Yes?" He asked.

I went to the couch and sat beside him. I looked at him with a look that meant serious business. He looked at me with concern.

"What's wrong, Phil?" He asked now more serious than before.

I straightened up and cleared my throat.

"D-dad, I'm marrying Dan."

"..." Silence filled the air, dad didn't respond.

"I am marrying Dan." I repeated. I just need to say it stern and strong. I need to deliver the message with bravery, it's the only way I could do it.

"Phil, your just 18. Aren't you too young?" He asked, straightening hisself up and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Dad, I want to marry Dan."

"Phil, answer me. Aren't you too young?"

"Dad, I am already 18 years old."

"But isn't that too early for an 18 year old to get married?"

"No. I just graduated about a month ago and now going through my gap year. I'm practically an adult now." This time I answered him, my plan will somehow work out. I'm an adult already, I can make my own decisions now and one of them, is marrying the person who I love.

"Phil, maybe you could wait till your 21 or older." Dad assured but there is no going back now. This is why I already did it.

"Dad, I can't."

After a short silence he asked, "Why?"
