For Our Parent's Sakes (Phanfiction)

Chapter 22

hello kids, sorry for the wait!!! This chapter will be third person POV because I felt like it ;)

Phil yawned as he rose from the bed, Dan still fast asleep. He walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth and when he returned Dan was awake.

"Morning gorgeous," Dan mumbled, his voice scratchy.

"Morning," Phil smiled as he went to go sit next to Dan. Dan wrapped his arm around Phil and pressed his lips gently to his cheek.

"How does one look so gorgeous every hour of the day?" Dan asked, causing Phil to blush.

"I wonder the same thing." Dan giggled and kissed Phil softly.

"I'm starved, lets go eat." They both got up and went downstairs to eat.

"Hi Dan," A loud voice spoke as they came down. Dan's jaw dropped and he quickly grabbed Phil's hand with fear.

"Hi. . . Dad." Mr Howell's eyes filled with tears as he saw the two come down. It wasn't with happiness, however. It was with anger.

"I see you two have bonded." He spit out angrily. Dan's face turned hard and he pulled Phil-who was scared out of his mind-closer to him.

"You could say that," Dan said coldly.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" Phil asked. Mr Howell's face relaxed and he turned towards Dan.

"I want my boy back." Dan's jaw dropped again but he quickly regained his angry tone.

"Well you can't just have me. I know I'm not 18 yet but I still know I can leave. You treated me awfully. I was scared of my own dad!" Dan's eyes filled with fear as memories overcame him. Phil squeezed his hand for reassurance.

"I know that. I messed up big time. I just miss my son! You haven't came in contact with any of us for days, not even Adrian!" Dan began to shake and stood even closer to Phil.

"I knew if I talked to him he would tell you where I was. Don't you get it? Everyone is scared of you, even Mum!" Mr Howell had tears slowly running down his cheeks. He wiped them off and pointed an angry finger at Dan.

"Now you listen here! I love you, Adrian, and your mum very much! I know I'm terrible at showing it but I do! You all are my world, I don't want to lose my family!"

"You already lost someone," Dan interrupted.

"I know, but please listen. I'm not asking to take you back home and act like nothing happened, but I'm asking for a chance to have my son love me back. Can we go to lunch some time? With mum and Adrian? I want my family back, and this time I won't mess it up."

"Okay, I'll go, with one thing."

"Well spit it out," Mr Howell said impatiently.

"Phil has to be there." Mr Howell's face almost dropped, but he quickly nodded.

"Yes of course, thank you Dan." Mr Howell wiped his eyes again and smiled.

"Once you pick a date, give me a call. You know my number." He waved to Phil's mum and happily exited the house. The second the door shut Dan began to sob and ran upstairs as Phil followed.
