Dan P.O.V

I wake up to see I'm still wrapped up in my beautiful 'friends' arms. His warmth filled me with hope. Hope that I had a chance. Hope that I had a chance to be me. Hope that I wouldn't get hurt by Sam and his "gang" ever again. Hope that my new friends would be more accepting then my old friends. Hope that I could finally have REAL friends. My thoughts stop when I notice Chris smirking from across the room.

"I- I we we were just wa-watching a movie" I told Chris awkwardly. This made Chris smile even bigger. I had a feeling Chris knew something... "What?" I ask. "Nothing, nothing" he said grinning. Chris winked and then left the room and into the kitchen. "Wait! Chris why are you smiling like that!" I ran into the kitchen and forced Chris to turn around. "Nothing I mean your both totally straight" Chris giggled. I was starting to get annoyed. What the fuck was Chris on about. Of course Phil's straight. Me well... "What are you on about?" I asked letting my anger seep into my voice. Chris chuckled before rushing to the front door. "Sorry I've got class" he shouted before slamming the door shut. The little shit.

"What the?" Phil mumbled. "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you" I sighed embarrassingly. Phil shook his head and patted his bed gesturing for me to sit down with him. I did so. "Yeah?" I ask uncertain of what he wanted. "Who's your best friend?" He asks shyly. I think about it. I defiantly don't have any friends back home anymore. Connor seemed nice. Chris was well Chris. I don't know pj very well but he seemed nice. Phil however, he had helped me find my way around, we had heaps in common, he had gorgeous eyes, he was super nice to everyone, he was a good hugger, I'm sure he would help me out if I had trouble studying and he was just overall cute. "Uhhh... I don't know, I only really know you, Chris and Connor from down the hall" I say truthfully. "What about from your home town?" Phil asked confused and intrigued. "Well... I umm grew apart from them." I say. Phil nods but doesn't push the subject anymore. "Well, I've got to get to class." With that Phil stood up and started making some toast. "Want any?" He asks from the other room. "Nah, I'm fine thanks. I've got to go check on Connor. I'll see you at lunch?" "Yeah, meet me by the fountain." I smile and head down the hall towards B9. I had left Connor in pretty poor condition yesterday. I hope this dustin guy didn't come back.

KNOCK

No answer

KNOCK KNOCK

No answer but I hear what sounds like a glass smash inside. I realise the doors open and I let myself in to see Connor with a swollen left eye and holding his stomach. Dustin was hovering over him with an evil smile. "This is what you get you freak" the words seemed so familiar to me. I wish that I had a friend to save me back then so I decide to do something about it. "HEY!" I shout. Both guys look at me in surprise. Dustin steps forward. I shut me eyes oh god why did I do that? He's going to hurt me. My breath will once again be punched out of me. I felt him brush past me and the door shut. I let out a sigh of relief and head over to Connor and help him up. "Who is he? Why does he keep annoying you? His such a but!" I can't help but see Connor Clutching to his stomach. I go over and lift up his shirt to see a huge bruise. I let out a gasp and get up to go find some Ice. When I return I see Connor coughing badly. I rush over and place the ice on his bruise. "Do you want me to call someone?" I ask in hurry. I don't know what to do. Whenever I was hurt badly I had to hobble to the office and they would put Ice on my bruise and send me home. "No!" Connor pleads desperately. "Dustin's my older brother. My younger brother, sister and parents are fine with me but not him..." I sigh and sit down waiting for him to go on. "I'm gay you see... I'm openly gay to everyone but my brother met a girl. She's homophobic and dustin wants to keep her happy. She's moving to Texas soon. So he'll come round soon" Connor smiled weakly. "I was punched and shit at my high school. I figured out that I was bi-sexual and told my closest friend at the time. He's name is Sam he told everyone in our friend group and ever since they bullied me and left me with bruises everywhere... Everyday" I admit. "THAT'S TERRIBLE!" Connor shouts. "Yeah, I'm not really open about you know the whole 'bi' thing because of them. I haven't told anyone else since I got here." Connor sighs and pulls me into a hug. I know I don't deserve his empathy but being a selfish little faggot I accept his hug.

Connor soon left for class leaving me alone but I head to the fountain I know I'm early but better to get there half an hour early rather then keep phil waiting. A big group of people head out of the building I spot Phil walking with pj. Both smiling happily. When they spot me pj waves and whispers something to phil before running off. What did he say? I bet he wished phil good luck. Were they planning some prank on me? Did they think I was to ugly? Was I too sensitive? Did I answer too truthfully earlier? I knew there was something off about phil, Chris and pj being so nice! They where planing on hurting me! Why else would Chris have been grinning earlier! He had said something about us totally being straight had he found out about me being bi? How we're they going to punish me? I can't handle going through this again! Should I just leave now? I'm sure it's nothing. I'm sure peej is just meeting up with Chris, they're different. Phil is no Sam. "Hey" Phil smiles warmly at me. He takes my hand and runs off somewhere with me, when we stop running I look around. We're at an ice-cream parlour. "Phil, as much as I love ice-cream. I don't like running" I say still out of breath. Phil laughed and pulled me into the shop. I sit down and let phil go get his ice-cream. He comes back with two bowls of what looks like berry sorbet. He hands me one and passes me a spoon. "I don't want any" I smile. Phil glares at me sits down next to me. "Seriously?" He rolls his eyes and takes a spoonful of my bowl and shoves it in my mouth unsuspectingly. I giggle and take his spoon. "Oh that's it! This is a new shirt and you spilled sorbet on it" with that I threw the spoonful at his shirt. Phil smirked and before I knew it my whole face was sticky and freezing cold. My first instinct normally would be to try and run away because I'm getting attacked again but, I whipped away the berry treat that was on my face and I didn't need to run off. I was with phil and if anything happens I trust him fully even though I've not known him long. I knew I was falling hard for this man and I was falling faster each day.

Once we got back I had a shower to clean off all the stickiness and then I got into bed. I heard the shower go off and I know Phil's about to walk out all hot like in his pj's and wet hair. So I turn over and face the wall so it seems like I'm tired. What I was not expecting was for arms to carefully slide around my waste and keep me warm all night. Why would PHIL hug a worthless shit like me? I wasn't gonna leave his arms though, I don't think that would possible.
