Yes, Master (Phan)ON HOLD

It's for the best

A.N. This will probs be a long chapter so enjoy 👍

Phil's POV
I sat on my bed with Holly besides us and Dan crying into my shoulder.
"I don't know what I'm going to do," Dan whimpered between tears. "I'm supposed to provide for my grandma but I don't know where to get a job. I'm not good at anything and I'll just let everyone down like I always do." This broke me heart.
"Dan, you'll find some way to provide for your grandma. You're the most talented person I know and even if you do let everyone down, which is highly unlikely, you'll always have me and Holly. We see you for the amazing, kind, caring person you are and nothing could ever change that." I wipe his tears.
"Thanks, Phil. I should probably get going now." Dan sniffed as he got up off the bed. Me and Holly followed him down the stairs and down the halls. I was about to kiss him goodbye when I saw my parents outside the Windows hanging posters on the walls that read 'Servant wanted. Good pay of £10 an hour. From ages 16-50. Come for an interview.' This seemed to catch Dan's eye. We walked out onto the courtyard to my parents as Dan seemed eager to ask them something.

Dan's POV
I saw the King, Queen and some of the workers hanging up some posters around the walls of the Palace saying they wanted a servant and there was good pay. I decided I would possibly be good at this job as I know my way around the Palace pretty well and I got along with Phil's family and the people who worked at the Palace. I nervously walked up to the Queen and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Your majesty, may I please enquire about the servant job?" The Queen looked shocked.
"Dan, why do you want a job? Your parents make enough money to provide for you." Her eyes filled with regret as mine filled with tears again but I refused to cry, I've cried enough already. I swallowed back the tears and simply explained,
"My parents died in a car crash on the way home from the Palace yesterday. I'm the only one who survived and the only family I have is my Grandma but she can't provide for us." The Queen's expression softened.
"Then I guess you can work for us, after all, you know your way around pretty well." She smiled at me and shook my hand.
"Thank you, your majesty. Thank you so much."

Holly's POV
So Dan was our servant now, great! We would get to see him more and keep and eye on him, make sure he's happy. He will get enough money to provide for his Grandma and make sure his parent's graves are ok. I smiled to myself and did a discreet fist pump. I couldn't wait for him to start. I was doing a mini victory dance in my room when I heard a knock on my door. I flopped on my bed so nobody knew what I'd just been doing and sweetly invited the guest in. My Dad opened the door and Phil was with him.
"I need to talk to you both." He looked stern and serious but also a little sympathetic. I shuffled up a little as Phil sat next to me. "As you know, Dan has become our servant and will be doing work around the house. His working times will vary, but I can assure you he will be treated with nothing but respect. He's had a tough time. But, even though he is new, he still has to live up to standards. When he is on duty, he will not be able to communicate with you unless you ask him to do a job for you or he's asking if you need anything." What? This was outrageous! We couldn't talk to our best friend just because he works for us? I couldn't believe it and I could feel my cheeks flush. I gave my Dad an evil stare and stormed out of the room. I understood that he needed to do his job but Dan was our friend and he needed protecting, he wasn't in a good mental state right now. I could hear Phil pacing and shouting from the other room.

Phil's POV
I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I couldn't speak to my boyfriend while he was working? Nobody could stop me. I was going to find a way to talk to him in secret.
"Does he know about this?" I shouted
"No, not yet" my Dad calmly replied. I couldn't believe this.
"Well don't you think he ought to?" I couldn't contain my rage
"Calm down, Phil. He will find out eventually. In the mean time, don't say anything about this to him, it could break his heart. He needs to hear it from your mother and I."
"Like it's not broken enough already? His parents have died, he's in a bad mental state, he'll deny it but when you know him like me and Holly know him, you'd understand. We need to keep and eye on him and make sure he's not doing anything bad that, when you're in that state, feels like the only option."
It all poured out of me and I was just about to walk out of the room when my Dad turned me round gently and said
"It's for the best."
I ignored him and stormed out the door.
