Forbidden Love

Chapter 4

"Are you alright?" Phil asked looking over at Dan.

"Yeah.." Dan nodded. He was really nervous, but it wasn't the first time he was in the police station. As someone who had tried running away from times from previous foster families and the orphanage he was always brought back to the police station before someone came to pick him up. He felt a little less nervous about Phil being here which surprisingly none of the officers questioned even though he was talking to Dan. They all assumed that he was here for his brother and didn't know that Dan was actually his student.

"I'll be here waiting for you alright?" He whispered. Dan looked up at him and nodded smiling a bit. He followed Phil's brother into a room with a table and chairs, he took a deep breath and sat down.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine okay? You just need to answer some questions for me." Jackson calmly. "Now, how long have you been living with that couple?"

"A couple of years now.." Dan answered.

"And did they always abuse you?"

"At first they were alright, they would shout at me sometimes if I did something wrong accidentally." Dan explained, "But then the shouting turned into hitting and then.."

"It was going on for a while, why didn't you report them?" He asked.

"Because I thought that maybe if I try to stay out of their way and don't piss them off I would be able to get through it. And once I turn eighteen I could leave and never look back."

"And I understand you've been with a number of foster families?" Dan nodded looking down.

"And they would only do this when you would do something they didn't like?"

"At first yes, but I never did anything to get them mad on purpose." He sighed, "But then eventually it wasn't if I did something. They could be mad for a whole different reason but they would blame me and take it out on me."

"You're really strong you know that. Not anyone can just take something like that." Jackson admitted.

"I guess it was just the thought that I won't have to deal with it forever, that in just a couple of months I would be able to just leave." He shrugged.

"So I already got the clear that you can live with me for a couple of months until you turn eighteen." He explained, "And I'm sure Phil explained everything to you right?"

"Yes he did." Dan nodded smiling slightly.

"Dan you really need to understand what I'm doing for you two here can cost me everything. Please please be careful alright. Just these few months, you graduate soon and then once you're eighteen you're free to do whatever you want."

"I understand, and I can't thank you enough.." Dan nodded.

"Don't mention it. Alright that's it you're free to go." He smiled.

The two walked out of the room and went to Phil who was sitting in the waiting room. He looked over them, Dan smiled and nodded assuring him that everything was alright.

"Phil, can you help Dan get settled in?" Jackson said for the officers to hear.

"Oh, yeah of course." Phil smiled.

"I need to go back to their place and get my clothes and stuff." Dan said remembering that he was yet to collect his things.

"The front door is open you can go right in and take your things alright?"

Phil drove Dan to his foster parents place, it was empty, the other officers had just left after investigating the house seeing what else they had to hide. Dan closed the door behind them and sighed in relief that they were finally alone. He stood on his toes throwing his arms around Phil's neck and kissing him passionately.

"I hated not being able to do that." Dan mumbled against Phil's lips kissing him again.

"As much as I would love to keep kissing you, we should really get your things and go." Phil smiled pecking his lips, "You know how fussy Emily can get with baby sitters."

Dan nodded, he took Phil's hand and led him to his room, well old room. It wasn't that big of a room, it was alright. He was lucky that those people at least had the decency to provide him with a bed to sleep on. He got his bag and stuffed his clothes in it. He grabbed his CD's not wanting to leave them behind, they never got him anything so he worked and got things for himself.

"Alright that's everything." Dan smiled zipping up his bag.

"Okay, lets go home." Phil said hugging him from behind kissing his hair.
