This chapter will focus mainly on Dan and Phil, because that's what you're all here for.

Phil's POV

I woke up with a sore neck and when I opened my eyes, I realized why. I was sitting in the hallway just outside of PJ's room. Yesterday after Dan had made a rude comment, PJ had gone to her room and I followed, however her door was locked and I could hear the TV playing in the background. I walked into the living room, noticing PJ sitting in one of the chairs in the kitchen. "Hey, I'm sorry about last night." I said to her. "It wasn't you who said it, plus I made breakfast as a peace offering." She replied, looking over her shoulder at me. She stood up and walked across the floor, pulling out food from the microwave.

"You shouldn't be the one making a peace offering. Dan was rude."

"I don't want anything to be awkward, and we both know Dan won't apologize."

I sighed. knowing she was right. I got up and woke up Dan so we could have the breakfast PJ made for us.

We soon ate and then had a discussion about adoption and we realized that we really hadn't know anything about it when we had gotten PJ.

PJ was taken to school by me, and when I got home I decided to talk to Dan. "Hey, what was up with last night?" I asked when I spotted Dan on the living room couch on his computer. He looked up at me and then looked back down. "I don't know. I just don't like the thought of PJ dating." He almost sounded embarrassed. "You knew it was bound to happen." I said, throwing myself on the couch next to him. "I know."

"You know we can't keep going like this? You're gonna have to accept it at some point."

Dan sighed once more and said "I know" again, but this time he followed up with "But I don't know how I'm supposed to accept it when I get mad." He looked so defeated.

"How about whenever you start feeling mad, grab my hand and squeeze, I'll take it from there. If I'm not with you, find me and or just walk away. I know this'll be hard, but you have to try for our family."

He nodded, looking a little less defeated.

After I had talked to Dan I had grabbed my laptop and joined him In his browsing position. Dan was now laying his head on my shoulder and was still scrolling on Tumblr. I had come across a cute dog that I was going to repost, when Dan shifted and took his head off my shoulder. "Do you wanna go for a walk?" He asked out of the blue. "Sure." I smiled really big. It was rare Dan wanted to go outside for anything but food. I got up and turned off the computer. I didn't bother with a jumper as it was spring out, it wouldn't be long until summer.

We walked out and Dan locked the door, and we were on our way.

Walking through town was nice and at some point Dan had taken my hand, and pulled me closer to him. We got the occasional stare, but nothing we weren't used to. "Look Dan, an old book store. Can we go in?" Dan knew I had a soft spot for old book stores, something about the way it smelled and the nice atmosphere. "Dan looked at me with a slight smile and laughed a little. "Of course we can."

We crossed the street and quickly entered the shop, there didn't seem to be a lot of people in here. I stared in awe at all the shelves and let go of Dan's hand to go explore.

After I had walked through all of the shelves I realized that I had spent more time in here than I thought when I looked at the clock sitting on the counter at the front. I was ready to leave, so I walked off to go find Dan, and pay for the couple of books that I had picked up. I found him quickly as the shelves were short, but as soon as I saw him, he was gone and I heard a crashing sound.
