Phil's p.o.v
I walk into the art classroom and sit next to Dan, wincing as I sit because of the cuts on my leg. I'm happy Dan found me. I don't know why I forgave him so easily, it just felt right.
"Thanks for the flowers," I whisper to Dan. I just noticed the the flowers this morning when I woke up.
"No need to thank me, it's the least I could have done," he whispers back.
We smile at each other and continue to work on the art project. I start to lightly sketch the outline of my head and the lions. It takes me a while to get a rough outline just right. I want this to be perfect.
I look at the clock and the bell should be ringing in a few minutes. Wow this class went by really fast. Whenever I'm drawing time seems to go by so fast.
"Your drawing is really amazing," Dan says, watching me put away my sketch.
"Thanks. What are you doing for the project?"
"I'm drawing myself riding a giant llama," Dan chuckles.
"Wow, that'll be something the teachers never seen before," I giggle back.
"That's what I was aiming for."
The bell rings and everyone starts to leave. Dan and I head to science. Sadly, science and art are the only two classes we have together.
The science teacher gives us a worksheet to do. I finish early so I just start to stare off into space.
I think about what happened this morning in math. I heard Louise talking to her friends quite loudly, like she wanted me to hear her. She said something along the lines of: "yeah, Dans dating Phil now. Dan left me for Phil and now they're both gonna pay." I assumed it was her just blowing off steam so I didn't make anything of it. But how did she know? I remember seeing a flash of blonde hair when Dan kissed me in the hallway. So that was Louise that I saw. I hope Louise didn't mean what she said. I don't want anything to happen to me or more importantly, Dan.

The rest of the day went by quick and now school is over. Dan plans to confront Jack about not wanting to be in his gang anymore.
"Dan?" I say as Jack and the rest of his gang are in view. They're standing in the same alley they always are.
"Yeah?" Dan answers.
"I'm really scared and a nervous."
"Don't be, I'll protect you."
Jack is now right in front of us.
"What is this your boyfriend?" Jack chuckles and points at me. I take a step back and hide behind Dan.
"Oh is the little fag scared?" Jack hisses.
"Don't call him that!" Dan snaps, "and yes, he is my boyfriend. Don't expect me to be part of your little gang anymore."
"Oh standing up to me are you? That's a bold move, it could get you in a lot of trouble," Jack sneers.
"Trouble? You sound like my mother. If your gonna hurt me do it now, just please, don't hurt Phil," Dan pleads.
"No promises. Brace yourself Dan, this is gonna hurt. A lot," Jack takes a step closer and swings his fist back, getting ready to punch Dan. Dan squeezes his eyes shut.
Without thinking, I step forward and punch Jack in the face before his fist can reach Dan. Jack falls to the ground. He looks up at me, blood gushing from his nose.
"Well, finally fighting back? I like that," Jack says. What have I done?
"I-I..." I trail off.
"You what?" Jack says taking a step closer to me. I look at Dan who's standing behind me. He looks shocked. Jack is looming over me. I don't know what to do.
"I-I'm sorry," I whisper taking a step back so I'm next to Dan. Jack just laughs. Dan pulls me into a hug and looks up at Jack.
"Just leave us alone," Dan says quietly.
"Well aren't you two so sweet. I can't think of anything to do with you right now, but I'll think of something."
And with that Jack and his gang walk off.

"I'm proud of you for standing up to Jack," Dan says as we stop outside of my house.
"Thanks. I couldn't think of anything to do, I couldn't let him hurt you," I say.
"Don't thank me. I'm the one that should be thanking you. So thank you," Dan says and gives me a long kiss.
We say goodbye and Dan starts to walk home. I open the door and step inside. My mum is on the couch watching tv and my dad is in the kitchen on the phone.
I sit on the couch next to my mum. We start talking about random things. I love to just talk to my mum. It's so nice considering it doesn't happen that often. My dad lets out a laugh and hangs up on the phone. He comes to sit on the couch with me and mum.
"Who were you on the phone with sweety?" Mum asks.
"Oh, just a friend," dad says with a smile.
We all sit in silence and watch tv. But it's not an awkward silence, it's nice. After a few minutes dad stands up, which makes me flinch, but he just gives mom a kiss and goes upstairs.
Mum and I start talking again about random stuff, mostly about the show. I love when we get to just sit and talk. It doesn't happen often, that's why it's so special to me.
My phone beeps and I see a text from Dan.
I just heard there's a fair this weekend. You wanna go? X
"Uh mum, can I go to the fair with Dan this weekend?" I ask. I've only been to a fair once before, and it wasn't a good experience. I was only six. I wanted to play a game and try to win a prize, but my dad said no. So of course, me being me, I kept asking. My dad snapped and dragged me out into the dark parking lot. He gave me a punch to the face and said I didn't deserve to win that prize and if I asked again he would take me home and beat me. Now I know to never disobey my dad.
"Yeah of course," mum says happily. I smile and text Dan back.
Yeah I'd love to! What day? X
Dan texts back almost immediately.
I'll pick you up on Saturday around 6. X
I tell mum goodnight and head upstairs into my room. I can't wait for Saturday. I know this time will be better, dad won't be there, it'll just be me and Dan. We'll get some alone time, away from all the troubles of life. I can't wait.
~Saturday~
I wake up and look at the time. 8:00 am. Why did I wake up so early? I must have been so exited for today I just woke up.
I pull myself out of bed. I flinch as I stand, my leg still hurts from the cuts. I slip on some jeans and a shirt. I go downstairs and sit on the couch. I'm not hungry, I'm not usually hungry in the morning.
I switch on the tv. I'm not really watching, just thinking about other things. I don't know how I'm gonna wait all the way until 6.
*
It's 6:00 finally. I'm basically jumping up and down I'm so exited. I didn't do much the whole day, just sat around on the Internet. I went on a walk through the woods though.
I'm sitting in my room and I hear the doorbell go off. I race downstairs, but I slow down because of my leg.
I open the door and I'm greeted by Dans smiling face.
"Ready to go to the fair?" He says taking my hand. I nod happily and we start walking
