It was a long walk to PJ's house. We walked in silence and each breath we exhaled made swirls of mist in front of us. It was beautiful. It always was in London at night. Especially near Christmas time when you can see the giant tree's and decorations lit up. I was truly mesmerised.
At one point Dan looked over to me,I was staring at the sky looking for stars and he laughed. That was the only sound we made on the way. When we got to PJ's house we hopped the wall and jumped into his back garden. I know what your thinking 'Dan and Phil doing voluntary exercise' well it's not really exercise though.
It's just doing what has to be done. Dan opened the sliding door and we went in silently. I closed the door and wiped off the fingerprints. That was my job. Dan crept upstairs and I followed him.  I pressed my hand over PJ's mouth as Dan brought the bat down on his head. It was easy to kill PJ,he didn't resist like Louise had. "I'm sorry,"I whispered quietly. On his bedside table there was a framed photograph of him and Chris laughing and holding hands... They looked so adorable.
Suddenly I realised Chris wasn't lying beside PJ... "Dan,Chris isn't here,"I whispered. "Oh...Stay here I'll look for him,"he replied. Dan looked terrified. So was I,I didn't want Chris to hurt us... Or more importantly I didn't want him to hurt Dan. There was a rustle from under the bed. "Dan here!"I shouted and he ran back in.
"No please guys! Please! What did you do to PJ?!?! He's alive right?!?! Please tell me he is,"Chris said from under the bed. I grabbed his arms and pulled him out from under the bed. "PJ is dead,and so are you now,"Dan said and smashed Chris' head into the carpet with the baseball bat. "I'll clean up Phil. You go home I'll be back soon,"Dan said smiling at me. I nodded. It was a very cold night. I was frightened walking home alone but I had to.

Before I had left I washed my hands and helped Dan a little but there was still loads to do. I saw something across the street out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't see very well,it just looked like a silhouette of a man. But then it started to walk over to me. I decided to wave thinking it was a fan or something. But he didn't wave back, he just kept walking. I started to run. He followed me and I turned a corner. Hearing a scream I looked back and saw the person under a street light lying on top of broken glass. He must have skidded and fell. There was a knife and a gag on the ground next to him which he had dropped. There was blood on the knife. I screamed for help. An old woman with curlers in her hair ran out of the house the man had fallen in front of. "He was chasing me and I ran around the corner here and he skidded... I think he was trying to kill me,and by the looks of things I think he already has killed someone,"I said panicking. "Oh my goodness! Come in,we'll call the police and I'll stay out here with this bastard while you get some hot chocolate into you. LARRY,GET THE BOY SOME HOT CHOCOLATE AND CALL THE POLICE!" The woman replied kindly. I thanked her and went inside. I sat on the sofa in her grand living room and her husband,Larry,gave me some biscuits and hot chocolate. "I have to call my boyfriend... Will you excuse me please,"I said politely. Larry's face contorted a bit. "Boyfriend? So your gay... I didn't know that. Must tell Martha she's helping one of you. She won't be right happy. But go on,"he replied. "I'm sorry but that's very disrespectful,"I said. "You don't deserve respect mister now go make that bloody phone call,"he said angrily. I was about to say something but just nodded and left the room. I walked to the kitchen and took out my phone. I dialled Dan's number. After it rang for a while he answered. "Hi lion. Where are you,I thought you said you were coming home,"he said. "Hay Dan. I was on my way back to the apartment but some guy started chasing me and he had a knife and a gag but he slipped and fell on some broken glass and now he's unconscious and we're waiting for the police and a woman came out and helped me and her husband just said I don't deserve respect because I said I had to go call my boyfriend and he was extremely disrespectful and I pointed that out and then he told me I didn't deserve respect... The bastard,"I replied quickly. "Oh my god,Phil are you okay? Tell me the address I'll come and pick you up. Why didn't you call me sooner? Phil what's the address?"Dan asked. I told him where I was and he seemed so scared and worried about me. "I'm going to leave now okay,please just stay safe... I'll be there in a few minutes,I love you Phil bye,"he said. "I love you too Danny... Don't worry,I can take care of myself... Goodbye my Danasaur,"I replied and hung up. When I walked back into the living room Larry looked disgusted. "You don't love him because love is for a man and a woman,"he said. "Oh shut up. How do you know? Are you a biologist? No you aren't so shut your fucking mouth already,"I retorted. He was silent after that.
I went outside to the woman. "The police will be here in half an hour. He's still unconscious. So tell me about yourself,have you called your girlfriend to tell her what happened? Or your parents?"she asked and I sat beside her on the curb. "Actually I did call my boyfriend,Dan, but I haven't called my parents yet... They don't really need to know. Sure they live up north,they wouldn't be able to do anything from there,"I answered. "B-boyfriend,"she stuttered. "Oh please stop,I've heard enough from your husband about this. I'm a human being,no different from anyone else okay!"I said almost shouting. She was quiet. After five minutes Dan pulled up. He ran at me and hugged me so tightly. "I'm alright Dan,I'm fine,"I said into his hoodie. "You promise... Please tell me nothing happened to you,I don't want to loose you Phil. You mean too much to me,"he said in tears. I looked him in the eye. "I'm fine,"I said. He smiled and kissed me. I heard the woman eeeewwwwwing and pretending to get sick. I hate homophobes... "Dan. This is the guy that tried to kill me,this is the woman that helped me and her bastard husband is inside. "Don't you insult my husband young man,"the woman warned. "Don't you insult my boyfriend,"I argued. The police came and after I gave a full report I was allowed home.
When we got home I went straight to bed. Dan followed after a while. But I couldn't sleep. I turned to face him and his brown eyes shot open. "Please don't ever do anything like that again Phil,"he whispered. He threw his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. I kissed him feeling his lips against my own. First it was a slow,romantic kiss but then it got heated. Dan slid his tongue into my mouth and moved it around. I moved my hands up his shirt and could feel him pull me closer. We pulled away for air and I took off Dans shirt. "Phil I love you... So,so much,"he whispered. "I know,"I replied. I kissed his neck as his pulse quickened. He me wrapped his arms around me. I came back up and kissed him. He pulled off my shirt and I could feel his cold hands pressed against my back. When we pulled away Dan was out of breath. I laughed. "Having fun?"I asked. He could only nod and pull me back down towards him. He slid his tongue across my bottom lip and then into my mouth once again. I unzipped his jeans slowly. I stopped and pulled away from the kiss just staring at him. I smiled. "Phil are you really going to keep me waiting... This isn't fair,"he whined jokingly. I laughed and pulled down his jeans. "Are you happy now?"I asked. "Not completely,"he said and winked. I kissed him to shut him up and felt his hands move down from my back to my crotch. He unzipped my trousers and pulled them off. I pulled away from Dan smiling like a maniac. "Now are you happy?" I asked. "Now it's my turn to shut you up,"he replied. I felt his soft lips brush against mine and my eyes closed slowly. Dan moved his hands down to my underwear and suddenly the phone rang. We both jumped. "Who would be calling so late at night?"I wandered aloud. "Someone that obviously doesn't want me to get laid tonight,"Dan whispered. He was barely audible but I heard him. I chuckled and he got off the bed. "I'll go answer it,"he said louder this time. I nodded and when he left the room I lay down with my arms spread out. "I love Dan. I love life... And I love lions,"I whispered jokingly. I began to blush. I didn't know why though. "Hay Dan,who is it?"I shouted. He didn't reply so I walked into the kitchen. Dan was standing leaning against the kitchen counter with the phone pressed against his ear. He was completely naked apart from his underwear... Then again so was I. Dan looked as pale as a ghost,his face flushed and hair a matted mess. I walked up close to him so I could hear the voice on the phone. It was a high,shrill voice and I could tell it was a woman's. I couldn't really hear any of the words properly so when Dan took the phone away from his ear I was completely bewildered. "T-that was my mum..." He said shakily. "I have to get back home Phil I'm sorry. I need to get back to my mum,"he said pushing me aside and running into the bedroom. "Dan?!?! What happened?" I asked following him. "I'll explain when I get back," he replied pulling his t-shirt over his head. "I'm coming with you,"I said grabbing my trousers and putting them on. He sighed but didn't disagree. I was afraid, I wanted to know what was going on and why Dan was so upset. After we got dressed we got into the car. Dan was silent, he didn't even turn on the radio. It didn't take us long to get to his mums house but when we did Dan ran to the door. He knocked and it was opened by a young woman. "Hello. I am your mums nurse,Pamela. I'm so sorry Daniel," she said. "Is she still... Alive?" He asked. She nodded. Dan pushed her aside and ran into the house. "I-I'm sorry,but what is wrong with his mum? It's really none of my business but I want to be able to understand this so I can help Dan,"I said quietly. "She's very sick,has been for a while. She had a stroke and the doctors determined that she has very little time left. Dan comes to visit her whenever he can,but I'm a new nurse so he doesn't know me,"she responded. She looked down. "Can I go inside?" I asked. She nodded still keeping her gaze firmly on the ground. "I walked past her and heard soft sobs coming from upstairs. "Why did it have to be Dans mum? Why did something like this have to happen to Dan?"I mumbled under my breath as I walked up the stairs. I could hear Dan crying. I pushed open his mums bedroom door and saw him kneeling beside her bed.  "Hello,Phil,"she mumbled weakly. I waved. "Hi,"I replied. Dan had his hands clasped around his mothers and his eyes shut tight. "How are you?"she asked me smiling faintly. "N-not bad I guess..." I answered. She nodded. "You been taking care of my Daniel I hope... Won't be here long enough to t-take care of him myself," she said in almost a whisper. "I'll take care of him I promise. I won't let anything happen to him,"I replied tears gathering in my eyes. Dans mum smiled and nodded. "Please mum..."Dan said unable to finish the sentence. It broke my heart to see him like this. I kneeled down beside him and put an arm around him. I wanted him to be okay, I wanted everything to be alright.
