He's my best friend || phan

Grade Eight

Tears slipped down my cheeks like my eyes were water spouts or gardening hoses. I really didn't care what I looked like, or how much water was pouring down my face. I really was going to miss all the people I've spent ten whole years with in elementary school, and today was the last day I got to spend with them. Whether they were a bitch to me or not, whether they even talked to me or not, I was going to miss them all. I really was not fond of the idea that next year, I would be moving on to high school where I would find an entire grade of new people. Socializing was definitely not on the list of things I was good at.

"Dan," Tyler interupted my thoughts. He choked out the word while trying not to let any tears fall. He wrapped his arms around my neck tightly and swayed from side to side. He didn't let go for several moments.

"I'm gonna miss you Ty, I'm g-gonna miss you so m-much," I sobbed into his neck, drenching his plain white t-shirt while I hugged back even tighter. Tyler and I were very close friends. Not quite as close as Phil and I, but we had a good amount of inside jokes together. We also happened to be going to different schools, so it was likely that we would never see each other again.

"Dan stop it, you're making me cry," Ty laughed while wiping water from his lower eyelid.

"I'm sorry," I giggled, still crying.

Then, someone interupted us and hugged Tyler. I quickly peered at the clock and found that we didn't have much time left before we had to leave. I decided to go find the one person I was most hesitant about leaving, even though he was going to the same high school as me.

I came up from behind him and slid my arms around his waist. I rested my chin on his shoulder.

"Oh c'mon, at least let me give you a proper hug!" Phil spun around and wrapped me in his warm, comfortable embrace.

"Oh my god, Phil," I managed with my dry, worn out voice. "I-I know we're going to the s-same school," I started, wiping my tears on his clothed shoulder, "but I still feel like we're not going to even see each other."

Phil tightened his grip on me. "Dan, we are going to stay friends until our last dying breaths. And you are going to promise me that. Right now." Phil pulled away from the hug and held his pinkie finger in front of me, silently asking me to make that pact with him.

I locked his pinkie with mine. "I hereby promise with my life that Daniel Howell and Phillip Lester will remain best friends until the day we die."

Phil repeated the oath that I created on the spot and did not let go of my finger until he was finished.

He hugged me again. "Dan, I will tell you this right now: nobody I will meet in high school can ever replace you, and I highly doubt I will even create a bond with anyone that's as strong as ours." I released from the hug again, but not so that we were far apart. I could feel his breath tickle my cheeks, and I rested my hands on his. "Phan is forever," he smiled.

I started sobbing so hard that I didn't even care that I didn't know what 'Phan' was, I just loved Phil so much. He was the best friend anyone could have ever asked for. "You're so cheesy," I giggled, still crying.

"This is supposed to be cheesy," he replied.

I remember way back in kindergarten when we met on the first day. We instantly clicked together like puzzle pieces. I remember him taking me to his secret fort, him holding my hand in his. And all the times in between then and now that made for amazing memories and unforgettable moments.

"I'm so glad you said 'hello'."

a/n: yes I know it's pretty fucking cheesy
