Chapter 2

The two boys soon got back home to their apartment after a peaceful walk just watching the sinking sun. Dan flopped lazily onto the couch, he kicked off his shoes and picked up the TV remote flicking through the channels. He spotted Phil standing awkwardly by the door nibbling on his lip and looking down at his feet. "Hey Phil?" Dan asked quietly.

Phil looked up at Dan, his eyes were watering and full of sadness. "Phil what's wrong?" Dan asked. Standing up quickly and wrapping him in a warm embrace, "You can tell me anything Phil remember?"

Phil sobbed onto Dan's shoulder his breathing shaky, he snuggled into Dan's soft sweatshirt finding comfort in Dan's warmth and comforting words. "Dan." He whispered his voice cracking. "Will I ever get better?" His big blue orbs looked up at Dan with a small twinkle of hope.

"Yes of course Phil." Dan whispered into his hair, not wanting to break the peace. Of course he couldn't guarantee that Phil would ever be better, but he could pray. If there was a god he prayed that god would have mercy. Phil was so kind, had such good intentions. Yet Dan could never protect him from the torturous images his own mind created.

Phil smiled, a smile which took Dan's breath away. He loved this boy so much. His smile could lighten up the darkest of nights the sparkle in his eyes was like an eight year old. He was perfect, if only he knew just how perfect he was.

"Dan?" Phil asked again.

"Yes Phil" Dan smiled slightly.

"I love you." Phil whispered giggling like a five year old and blushing a crimson red putting colour onto his pale cheeks.

"I love you to Phil." Dan grinned tilting Phil's chin up gently, he closed his eyes and brushed his lips against the older boys. Their lips fit perfectly together like a jigsaw puzzle. Dan gently pulled away, smiling gently at Phil.

The TV quietly began playing a slow song and Dan smiled at his choice of channel. "Would you like to dance Phil?"

Phil looked around nervously "Dan I really can't dance."

"I will teach you." Dan smiled.

"Okay." Phil grinned back.

Dan wrapped his arms around Phil and Phil wrapped his around Dans neck pulling him in closer. He relaxed as he smelt the comforting scent of his cologne. They swayed from side to side enjoying the closeness. It was these times that Dan wished could never end. He wanted to live in this moment together. They were oblivious to the world. Only interested in each other and the soft music that filled the apartment.

Without warning Phil fell back, his mind pulling him back, back into darkness. This time his father stood before him, he laughed like a maniac making Phil scream in pure terror. "Philip, long time no see." He hissed. Phil shrunk into a corner hoping beyond hope that his father would go, leaving him back iin Dan's comforting arms. "Dan!" He yelled desperately "Please help me.... Please" He sobbed, but of course, nobody came. He was alone again. Why was he always alone?

Dan yelled tears streaming down his face. "Phil!" He yelled desperately. "Phil it's okay! Please wake up!"Still no response. "Phil." He chocked out, i'm here Phil. Nothing can hurt you." Even he knew this was a lie, of course things could hurt Phil. Dan sighed whipping out his phone and dialing the number of the doctors.

"Hello Primrose Doctors surgery, how may I help you?"

"Um I would like to book an appointment for my friend."

"Can't your friend book the appointment ?"

"No..." Dan sighed. "He has some sort of mental disorder. I really need to get him checked over.

"The girl on the phone sighed and then said "Okay Sir, name?"

"Philip Lester."

"We have a slot on Thursday at 12:15, Is that okay Sir?"

"Yes that's fine."

"Okay thank you Sir."

Dan hung up the phone looking over at Phil. His mind had finally given him a break. He was sleeping peacefully on the floor, only a lone tear staining his cheek. "Oh Phil", Dan whispered "I really hope you can get better."

He padded over to where his boyfriend lay on the floor and lay down beside him, He brushed the tear of his cheek and smiled slightly before laying down behind Phil and wrapping his hands around his waist. "I will never leave you Phil." He whispered before letting his head fall to the floor and sleep consumed him.
