Psycho! (Phan)

Chapter two

After a while Pamela pulled us from the room. She told us to come back the next day and that if anything changed she'd call. Dan didn't want to leave and it took a lot to convince him. I drove home and as soon as we entered the apartment Dan collapsed on the sofa and began crying again. "Dan? Dan it's okay,"I said dropping the keys and sitting beside him. "No it fucking isn't Phil!"he shouted. He sat up angrily. "Dan calm down please,"I begged. "No!"he screamed and slapped me. I fell back off the couch from the force and it left a hand mark on my cheek. "D-Dan?"I said quietly. I touched my cheek feeling blood. He scowled at me and stood up. He looked down at me and kicked me hard in the side. He did it again and then walked to the bedroom. I lay there on the ground crying in pain. I didn't want to see Dan, I was afraid of what he'd do but I needed to get some sleep. I stood up shakily and stumbled to the room. I didn't see Dan. The duvet was pulled back neatly and I pulled off my shirt and jeans before lying down and pulling the duvet up to my chin. My eyes closed slowly and I was about to sleep when something moved beside me. My eyes shot open and I saw Dan beside me. "I'm sorry lion,"he apologised. "I-it's okay... We all get angry,"I replied smiling faintly. He kissed my forehead. "Sweet dreams babe,"he whispered and lay his head on my chest. "I love you,"I said quietly and put my hand on his intertwining our fingers. He fell asleep and I smiled to myself forgetting the pain in my side. The next morning Dan woke me up. He pecked my lips and smiled. "Good morning Dan,"I whispered sleepily and yawned. I kept my eyes closed but smiled. "Good morning Phil,"he replied. "You look so cute when you're sleepy,"he said giggling. I laughed a bit. "Thank you,"I replied. "No problem. While you were sleeping I was on the phone to Pamela,"he said. My smile faded. I took his hand and held it tight. "How's your mum?"I asked. He bit his lip. "She's... She's d-dead..."he replied. My heart sunk. "I'm so sorry Dan,"I said quietly. He started to tear up and he flung himself at me. I wrapped my arms around him as he cried into my shoulder. I tried to comfort him and tell him it was going to be okay but he didn't reply. "Dan it's okay... She's in a better place. I promise you,"I whispered and rested my head on his. He pushed me away and wiped his eyes. "I need to go. I'll be back before midnight... Hopefully,"he said and stood up pulling on a shirt. "Where are you going?" I asked confused. He shrugged. He turned away from me and walked out of the room. I followed him to the door. "I love you Phil,"he said and pecked my lips. "I love you too Dan. But where are you going?"I replied. He smiled a bit and left, taking a kitchen knife with him.
I bit my lip but let him go. He needed to get the anger out of his system... "Dan..." I whispered to myself. I closed my eyes tightly and sat down on the couch. I fell asleep. When I woke up Dan still wasn't back. I checked the time on my phone, it was two in the morning. I had slept for so long. I texted Dan asking where he was and while I waited for the reply I decided to turn the TV on. I put on the news. "And now, breaking news. Twenty four year old serial killer finally caught. They have identified him as Daniel James Howell and he is bing tried for six murders. It is known he did not commit all six murders on his own and the police are searching for his accomplice,"the news man said. I froze. Dan was arrested... He was going to prison. "D-Dan's... He... They..."I stuttered and began crying. There was a knock on the door and my eyes widened. It was most likely the police. "Y-yeah? Who is it?"I called. "It's the police open up kid!" A deep voice shouted. I heard murmurs and then a sweet, kind voice spoke. "I'm sorry, we are the police and would like to ask you a few questions about your boyfriend, Daniel." I opened the door. "Dan? H-he went out ages ago... I j-just saw the news... He killed people?"I said still crying. There was a tall, broad man standing next to a short woman. "Yes, I'm afraid so. Can you let us in Philip? In detective Dowen and this is detective Brooks,"the woman said. I waved a bit and gestured for them to come in. "Call me Ph-Phil,"I said. "Look did you kill them people or not?!?"detective Brooks exclaimed as he walked in. "Brooks!"detective Dowen said nudging his elbow. "My apologies. I don't think you've done anything Phil. I think you just fell for a psychopath and don't want to get killed when he gets out of jail because you told us things,"she said smiling. "I don't know anything about this. Who did he kill? I haven't really seen Louise or PJ or Chris in a while... D-did he?"I said pretending I didn't know shit. Dowen nodded. "Yes. Now Philip, what do you know about Dan? Does he have any problems?" She asked. I shook my head. "No. Not anymore. He used to have depression I think but now he's fine,"I replied. I felt my heart pound in my chest and I was sweating. "Is that it?"she asked. Brooks seemed like he was getting quite annoyed, I could tell he knew I had killed. I nodded. "C-can you come back... I-I need to get my head around this..."I whispered. I did need to get my head around it. Dan was always careful! There was no way he'd get caught unless he wanted to. But he told me he'd be back so he didn't want to get caught... "No! We are staying here until you admit to killing those innocent people!" Brooks yelled and I flinched. Dowen looked at him strangely. I stayed quiet. "Look, we can't leave until we know all there is to know okay. I'm very sorry, I can't imagine what you're going through..." Dowen said putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. I felt tears well in my eyes and I blinked, releasing them. I nodded slightly. "Brooks, go wait in the car... We don't need you making this situation worse. Philip is extremely upset," she added looking back at the other detective. He narrowed his eyes. "Well, he should be! He's caught now of course he's going to be upset!" Brooks exlaimed. I felt my breath shake. Dowen pointed to the door angrily. "Fuck off Brooks!"she screamed and Brooks sighed deeply before walking out the door slamming it behind him. Dowen looked back at me, her face had softened. "We should probably sit down..."she said motioning to the couch. I nodded and sat down. "I-I never thought Dan would... Dan would do that..."I whispered. "I'm very sorry he did Philip,"she replied. She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder and smiled slightly. "Please go..."I mumbled. Her smile faded. "Philip what do you know,"she said in a stern voice. "I. Know. Nothing! Now leave me the fuck alone!"I screamed. She immediately stood up. "I-I'll be back some other time..."she muttered before running out the door. I put my head in my hands and screamed. Then I just cried... "Dans never going to come back is he.."I whispered to myself my heart breaking as I said those words.
