I sigh loudly as I plop down on my green and blue bed.

Its just another lonely night without him. Sure, the skype calls are great, but nothing can compare to seeing him in real life.

I burry my head into my pillow and let out a frustrated grunt. My mind continues to think about how far away my Dan is. Why do we have to live four hours apart? Why us?

I guess life just isn't fair sometimes...

I stand up reluctantly and run my fingers through my messy, black fringe. "I should wash up." I murmur to myself. I walk over to my bathroom and look in the mirror.

I look tired. Almost lifeless.

When Dans not around, I can't be bothered to rip myself out of a daze take care of myself.

I grab my blue toothbrush and apply a small amount of toothpaste. As I start to brush, I pace back and forth. My thoughts continue to wander towards Dan.

What if he lived just a few hours away?

What if he was my neighbor?

What if he lived with me?

Although I'd like to dream about Dan living with me, I know it'll never happen. Both of our parents don't know about our relationship, and I don't plan on them finding out anytime soon.

That would be absolutely disastrous.

My parents and Dan's parents, sadly, are homophobic. If they found out Dan and I were in a relationship, my life would take a miserable turn for the worst.

Although our situation is a rough one, we won't let that stop our love. I love that boy with every bone in my body, and I'll never bow down the people who will try to stop me from doing so.

I snap out of my daydream as I feel a warm mix of toothpaste and saliva land on my foot.

Ew.

I stop pacing and spit into the sink. I rinse my mouth out with water and put my toothbrush away.

As I reach for a towel on the rack to wipe off my foot, I pause.

A loud clamor comes from my bedroom.

"Its probably a branch banging against the window, Phil. No alien is coming to abduct you." I think to myself. I grab the towel and wipe off my foot.

When I'm done, I put the towel back and start to walk back into my bedroom.

I pause in my tracks as I hear the noise again. I feel my heart speed up as I approach my window.

Ok, its definitely aliens.

Timidly, I look out my window. I gasp loudly when I see someone looking back at me from out side.

Wait, what?

That's not an alien, its him.

Dan.

I fling my window open and shout into the night sky. "DAN, WHAT ARE YOU DONING?" I scream, laughing at how cliché this situation is.

"Surprise?" He yells back, shrugging his shoulders.

"Its pouring out there Dan..." I say, looking at the large raindrops that are hitting the sidewalk.

"Well, I'm not leaving until you come outside!" He says, motioning with his hands for me to join him.

With those words I slam my window shut. I dash out of my room, down the stairs, through the hall, and to the front door.

I grab my converse and lace them up as quick as possible. I open my front door and dash out into the rainy, summer night.

I turn the corner and sprint towards the sidewalk under my bedroom window.

And there he is, as beautiful as ever.

His clothes are dripping, and his hair is a curly mess, but perfect nonetheless.

We lock eyes as I run towards him and into his embrace. His hug is warm and comforting.

"Dan, why did you do this for me?" I say, dumbfounded.

"Because I missed you, Phil." He says sweetly, giving me a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Well, if you traveled for four hours to see me, at least give me a proper kiss." I say, wrapping my arm around his waist and pulling him into a kiss. His lips are soft and sweet against mine. I completely forget about the pouring rain as I continue to kiss him.

I pull away reluctantly and smile. "I missed you too, Dan." I say, one arm still around his waist and the other holding his hand.

He smiles lovingly.

"Hey Phil," He asks, glancing down at at our intertwined hands.

"Let's run."

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run, forever we'll be
You and me
