The End

8. House of Memories p1

Sorry if this chapter is crap. I tried to finish it as fast as I could so it's a bit rushed.

PART ONE

Phil's POV:

We told our parents about our relationship about a week ago. They congratulated us and wished the best for us. My mum was so happy she started crying. I was shocked when they told us they weren't surprised, though. Did everyone know before we did or something?

There's only 13 minutes left of school and I've already finished doing my class work so I just sit there. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Without the teacher noticing, I take it out and see its a text from Dan.

Text from: Bear 💕

To: Bear 💕
Sorry babe :( I have to do something maybe some other time xx

Text from: Bear 💕

I read his text and put my phone away with a sigh. I feel kind of bad for lying to Dan, but it's for the greater good.

Dan's POV:

No again.

It's been like this for the past 4 days. Always "I'm busy" or "sorry I can't." It's gotten to the point where I feel like Phil's seeing someone else behind my back.

For Christ's sakes, tomorrow's Valentine's Day! What the fuck am I supose to do? We haven't had any alone time in what feels like forever. I know I shouldn't worry but still, I can't help it.

It's only been 4 days. Calm down.

"Are you alright, Dan? You've been awfully quiet," says Phil as he looks at me from the drivers side. His eyebrows come together in what looks like concern.

"I just- Phil are you avoiding me or something?" I blurt out before I think it through. The whole time I keep my head down and stare at my hands.

"Of course not, babe. Why would you think that?" It sounds like he's telling the truth, but I'm not sure.

"Lately, you've been so caught up doing your own thing... It makes me feel like, I don't know. I feel like you don't want me around anymore." I can feel my eyes fill with tears. I blink furiously to make them go away.

I can't cry in front of Phil; I'm suppose to be the strong one.

The car came to a stop. I look out the window to see that he has parked outside of my house.

I feel his hand abruptly turn my face to look at him. Phil leans close to my face and just stares me straight in the eyes.

"Don't ever think that again," he says in a stern voice. Then he smashes his lips to mine.

And that was all it took for me to forget, temporarily, all of the bad feelings and thoughts.

"I really like you, Dan. Never forget that." He pulls me into a hug and then pecks my lips one last time.

"I really like you too," I reply with a small smile.

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow, okay?" Phil says whilst checking the time on his phone.

"Sounds good," I say with a sigh. I grab my backpack and get out of the car. "See you then."

"Bye, Danny."

With that, I close the door and he zooms off. I wait until I see his car enter his driveway (they live that close to each other) and disappear into the large bushes by his gate. I make my way through my own tall gate and into the huge grounds of my house.
