PHILS P.O.V

I walked up to the jail. This place always seemed so out of the way, I never really noticed it to be honest. That was until Dan got thrown in there two months ago. I was there when it happened, when Dan pulled the trigger.

When Dan took a life.

I came home and was just scrolling through tumblr on the sofa when Dan ran into the apartment in a panic, slamming the door behind him. I could have swore that he was crying. I stood up and placed my hand on his shoulder. He just shook me off and continued babbling nonsense at me. I couldn't hear most of it but I did hear 'he's coming' and the word 'gun'. I stopped Dan's crying and speaking and asked him what on actual earth was going on. He opened his mouth to answer but before he could say anything, a big man, wielding a gun came smashing through our locked door. The man seemed to have lots of weaponry on him as another gun dropped out of his bag and onto the carpet. Thinking quickly, Dan ran and scooped up the gun, pointing it at the man. but the stranger wasn't after Dan. He pointed the gun at me. Dan stepped in front of me to block any bullets that were going to come my way. The intruder started running towards us, screaming intensely. I closed my eyes, ready to accept death when I heard a gunshot before the room was eerily silent. I looked up to see the man dead on the floor and Dan was trembling, holding the gun. The gun he had just killed someone with.

I guess one of the neighbours must have heard the gunshot and called the police because the cops were around in seconds, taking a screaming Dan away from me and taking me in a separate car to the police office to get questioned. 'It was completely self defence,' I pushed, 'the man was going to kill both of us, it wasn't our gun.' But the police had none of it and before long we went to court and Dan was declared guilty and sentenced to 8 years in prison for manslaughter. Crap police department if you ask me. Don't take self defence for an answer. And so thats why I'm here today, two months later, visiting Dan.

'Name?' the lady behind the desk asked me in a boring, monotone voice. 'Phil Lester," I answered back as happily as physically possible in this situation. 'Down the hall and to your left,' the lady said as boring as before. The grey walls and scared and sad faces pretty much summed up my feelings at the moment. I walked past cell after cell until I came to one with a muse poster on the wall. there was a brown haired boy sitting in it at a small table, facing away from me. He showed no signs of wanting to go anywhere, even though the cell for was wide open. 'Knock knock,' I said standing in the doorway. Dan turned around and his face lit up as he saw me and ran at me to give me a hug. 'I missed you,' Dan mumbled into my neck. 'You too,'I laughed (okay I was kind of crying), wrapping my hands around Dan. I had always had a crush on Dan. To our first Skype call to this moment. I had never not loved him. If only he felt the same way. I had visited enough times for the guards to realise that Dan was definitely not going to kill me and had decided that we didn't need guards around during my visits.

TIME SKIP

'Dammit,' I exclaimed as Dan won the third game of go fish. 'Are you annoyed?' he laughed. I threw the pack of cards at him causing them to spill all over the floor. 'Does that answer your question?' I said with fake annoyance in my face and pouting. Dan smiled at me, showcasing a row of perfect teeth. God he was so pretty. He got onto the floor to clean up the cards that I had just thrown everywhere. ''I love you Dan,' I mumbled to myself. Dan looked at me, 'what was that?' he asked. I went bright red and looked at my shoe. 'I just,' I paused, this was my chance, 'I love you. Always have, always will. But I know you will never feel the same about me and that this has probably ruined our friendship and-' I sighed. I had messed up big time. 'Who said I didn't love you?' Dan answered. I look at him, taken aback in shock. 'Well do you like me?' I asked quietly. Dan simply just stood up and walked towards me, stood me up and kissed me passionately. When we pulled apart Dan smiled and said, 'Does that answer your question.' I didn't answer. I just pulled him back in for another kiss.

Yes. Yes it did.
