Falling... (Dan&Phil)

Chapter 2

>Hey guys, there may be some triggers in here, okay<

~Phil's Pov~

I walk away from the door and giggle a little as I remember the sight of Dan's face when I closed the door, it was kinda priceless. He's dorky but I like that about him though, I feel that we'll be good friends. I realize that I thought that when I saw him standing awestruck in the middle of the cafe staring at the fairy lights glittered everywhere, and then he realized and sat down.  I giggle to myself again as I get into my car and start to drive, finishing my round of deliveries. 

I get home, '10:42p.m.', hm, it could be worse. I take off my coat and I feel my phone vibrate.

'Hey. -Dan :)' I read the message, 'Heyyyy' I answer back. Yup, this is going to be a good friendship.

Only if he knew..

Pj and I decide to watch a movie and then I go home. I walk through the door. I thought it was funny that Phil was the person delivering our food, small world. I walk to my room across the apartment and as soon as my head hits the bed I pass out.

Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz...Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz

'Aauugghhh' I moan as I feel around for my phone. "Hello?" I answer drowsily. "Dan! Where are you???" The voice says. "Pj, is that you?" I answer back. "Yeah! Where are you, you were supposed to be here about half an hour ago?!" He answers back. By now i'm sitting straight up in bed, wide eyed. I look at the clock '8:43a.m.'  school. ohshitohshitohshitohshit  "Oh shit Peej what am I going to do I can't be late,-" I hear snickering, what. I stop fighting to get my shoes on. "PJ. Who is that ?" He takes a moment to answer back, "W-what are you talking about, whom?" He says as I can hear him fighting to keep a giggle down. "Pj,.." I glance at my phone 'Saturday' ...oh my god. "Hey Pj?" I say trying to stay calm. "Yeessss? ?" He answers sweetly. "You my friend, are an ass hat." I answer taking a sigh of relief and he starts laughing his ass off. "I GOT YOU SOO GOOD" He says inbetween laughs. "Yeah yeah okay Peej, bye" I say rolling my eyes as he yells a goodbye through the phone and I hang up. I decide since I can't fall back asleep because I've been scared half to death, to log into tumblr. "Danisnotonfire"

I scroll for a while and laugh at all of the stupid memes as usual and decide to log off and decide to take a shower. I ponder asking Phil if he's doing anything. I get out of the shower and text Phil, 'Hey, are you busy today?'about 10 minutes later he says, 'No, you wanna go get lunch somewhere?' he asks. "Sure, where would you like to meet?" I finish getting ready and walk out the door when he answers.

I'm sitting at the table next to a window, I look down at my tea and stir it a little. *Ding-Ding* I hear the front door of the restaurant chime and I see Dan walk in. He looks around a second before he spots me and I wave as he walks over. "Hi." I say as he sits down. "Hello." He says smiling back. "So, how are you?" I ask as the waitress comes by and hands him a cup of tea and kinda looks at me. "I figured you like some?" I answer his thought and he smiles, "Thank you, haha, and i'm good." Our small talk continues a little as we get to know each other. I smile as he tells his dorky jokes and as I tell mine he smiles too. We start talking about video games and movies and anime. We talk about stories and food and the places we've been to. All I could do was look into his chocolate brown eyes as he talked to me and he looked into my eyes. He looked away out the window, "Wow, it's dark already?" I look too, "I guess it is,..and it's snowing too, haha." We laugh a little at the time we spent together. He looks down, his eyebrows scrunched up a little like he was worried about something, I tilt my head and I would have asked what was wrong but before I could he looks up with what seemed to be a half forced smile and he says, "It was nice to talk to you today, It's nice getting to know someone new for once that you can actually relate to, y'know?" and I smile at what he says making his forced smile fade into a real one, "I think it was really nice too, you're really cool, we need to see each other again..." I think for a moment, "Oh! I never asked you, what you were taking college for ?" Dan stuttered out a giggle, "Law, actually...It's really boring but y'know it's what my father wants. What about you?" I answer "I major in English stuff and I like Art and techy stuff   ?" I half question my answer and then laugh a little causing him to laugh too. He looks at me then says, "I would love to keep talking to you but I have to get back to my apartment and study." He pulls out his wallet, but I stop him, "No, no, I got it" I say putting the money I had on the table and he complies politely and then his smile falters again. "I'll talk to you soon okay?" He says standing up and walking out of the restaurant. I look around for a moment and our waitress was looking at me, "You seem to get along really well." She says, I raise an eyebrow, "Dan is a really good kid" She smiles at me, "Oh, yeah haha," She picks up the glasses from the table, "I can see you guys being really good friends" "Thank you" I smile back and then she winks at me, "Have a nice night."

I pull my jacket around me tighter as I walk down the street to my apartment, the snow starting to fall harder. That's winter though. I walk in deciding it would be good to take a warm shower. I pull off my sweater, "Ow.." I look down at my arm, as I see it's bleeding a little and I wipe it off. I finish getting undressed and get into the shower. I look down at my arm and run my hand over the scars as my fingers trace them, I sigh a little as I feel what happened last week and I feel the tears slowly start to run down my face. I look down at my arms as I see some fading bruises, and the tears are falling more freely now. I close my eyes and I try to push it all away. I just want to push it away..

-Monday-

 I sit through class and I stare at the clock as I wish for it to end and then I feel a prick at my back. I turn around. "oops." Kyle says as he gives me a sly grin and I slowly turn around, then he pricks me about five more times and I just roll my eyes and sigh. The bell rings and I pick up my bag and walk out of the room, "Oh Dannnyyyy"  I hear Kyle call me and I start walking ever so slightly faster, I turn the corner and I walk straight into someone, I step back. I was about to apologize but then realized it was just Chad, Kyle's best friend. Oh great. I go to walk past him and then he grabs my shoulder, "Where do you think you're going Howell?" I shove him off and I turn around and then there's Kyle standing there. "Let's go for a walk shall we." Kyle says putting an arm around my shoulder, shoving me out of the door. He pulls me out behind the building then he shoves me to the ground. "Whatcha gonna do about it Howell" One of their friends calls out, and the other four nod along with him. "Go to Hell." I spit back. Kyle walks up to me and grabs my chin with one hand  and takes the other and digs his nails into my forearm, forcing me to look at him. "What are you talking about," He says digging his nails deeper "That's where you'll be going, queer."   and then he lets go of my arm, his hand still on my shoulder ramming his knee into my crotch. I kneel over as the pain hits me, and then his friends join in, kicking me and punching me. Why were they even doing this...what did I do, how would they know if I was gay or not...I've had girlfriends... I come back from my thoughts as they start spitting more names at me and then I get a final blow to the abdomen and they drop me on the ground. I can taste the familiar taste of metal in my mouth as they walk away, I lay there another ten minutes before I try to get up, I reach over for my bag and stand up. I find my phone, I call Pj.

"Hellloooo" Pj answers happily, "Hi Peej" I say and he can hear the pain in my voice. " Dan? Where are you-" I interrupt him, "N-no it's okay, I can walk home-" I say coughing, "No, i'm not letting you, i'll be at the front of the school in 10 minutes okay?" and he hangs up the phone. I make my way to the front gate and sit down on a bench. Some kid that I've never seen before walks by and calls me a faggot and keeps walking to go into the school. I feel tears that I didn't even know were there and then they start running more and more, I pull out my phone. I look at my reflection and see my nose is bleeding and I have a small cut above my eyebrow and my shirt was torn a little, I didn't like this shirt much anyway. I put my phone back in my pocket and finally look back down at my sleeves, The sleeve that Kyle was gripping was bloody of course, my right arm is the only thing that I've managed to cut.. I've stopped myself from going anywhere else.. I decide on not pulling up that sleeve for now, I pull up the other and I see bruises glittered on it. I take a deep breath as I decide to wait to examine the rest of my injuries. I finally start to feel the cold winter air as my adrenaline wears off. I didn't even realize Pj pull up until he walked over and put a hand on my shoulder causing me to flinch. "C'mon Dan.." he says opening the car door for me. I sit down and close the door and then he starts to drive and asks if i'm alright. I answer back saying that I was, but, was I really alright?
