You're Different Online (Phan Highschool AU)

Chapter Thirteen

Dan's P.O.V.

      Winter Vacation was great. There was no one to worry about trying to hurt me. Now I'm back in art with the four faces who want to to hurt me. At least I only have to sit with one. I sit down at the table waiting for the lesson to start. Except, there isn't really one. We have a sub so we're just watching Fantasia.

"Pst, hey Dan." Phil whispers to me a few minutes into class.

"What do you want Lester?" I whisper back a bit harsh at him trying to focus on the screen.

"Keep your guard up today, ok?"

"Why?"

"Because--"

"Hey, you two," the sub points to us. "Keep it down!"

      After the final bell rings, I head to my locker to get my things and then go to the bathroom. When I'm done doing my business someone taps me on the shoulder. Huh, Phil?

"Dan, stay in here please." He sounds worried.

"So you can beat me up? Sorry but I don't really want to go along with that." I try to leave but he grabs my shoulder.

"Please don't. They'll--"

"Shut up Phil and let me go home." I brush his hand off my shoulder and get out of there. Strangely, the hallways empty. Hm, people must have wanted to leave school as fast as possible. Can't blame them. The first day back from a vacation sucks. Except, for a certain group, of course.

"Hello Danny, how are you?" Gene asks.

"I was doing really great until you came along." I mumble loud enough for them to slightly hear it.

"Well we have a late Christmas gift for you." Nick and Jack nod.

       Before I can say anything else the back of my knees are hit and I fall to the ground. I feel a sharp pain in my nose followed a warm liquid as my face hits the ground. Well looks like the first part of my face to hit the ground was my nose. I try to get up but a foot stomps down on me keeping me down. Next thing I know they're kicking me harder than ever before and I feel the worse pain ever. My ribs hurt, my legs and arms are bruised, and my lip is busted. To make it worse there are also a few tinny cuts that my tears keep slipping into. I'm useless against this. I'm weak. And nobody's here to save me. With a few last kicks to the head they leave me alone in the hallways beginning to pass out. The world is fading out but before it does I hear footsteps and a voice.

"Dan...Dan? DAN!"

     Then everything went pitch black.

Phil's P.O.V.

I hear footsteps outside the bathroom hoping that they're Dan's. However, I can hear those voices. The ones I hate.

"So, we got him pretty good today huh boss?" I hear Nick say.

"Yeah, great work. Say Jack, are you sure that Phil doesn't like that f*****? He said he couldn't beat him up today." Gene...Jack please say what I told you.

"Well, he said that he was pretending to care about him to try to weaken him." Thank you so much Jack.

"Heh, he's a smart f**." Ugh, Gene. I hear them walking away and I peak my head out the bathroom seeing that they're gone. I'm walking out but pause when I hear someone crying. Wait, they said got him good... Dan! I start running down the hallway calling out for him.

"Dan...Dan? DAN!" I see him on the floor with bruises and blood. His eyes are slowly closing. Before I get there it's too late, he was knocked out. I pick up his backpack and put it on one shoulder with mine on the other and then I pick him up and carry him bridal style. Luckily nobody is around to see this or I'll probably be questioned for helping him which I don't really want to explain. I carry him to my car and drive us home...well to mine...I don't know where he lives. Only I'm home. I take Dan to my room and lay him out on my bed. I feel bad for him. I get an ice pack and some band aids. As I put the last band aid on I see his eyes slowly open.

"Wh-Where am I?" I hear him say as he sits up, his eyes adjust to the lighting.

"Dan!" I almost yell pulling him into a tight hug but quickly let go after I hear him wince in pain. He looks at me and suddenly his expression changes from confused to angry while mine changes from happy to...hm...hard to explain but all I know was it looked like I had just remembered something that I forgot...which I did. The fact that Dan hates me.

Dan's P.O.V.

"Phil, what the fuck am I doing here? Wherever the hell I am." I say full of anger backing away from him slightly.

"Well...uh...I found you blacking out on the floor after you were beaten up...probably from a few kicks to the head...and I took you to my house..." I'm in the bedroom of someone I hate. This is SO great...

"Why? You missed your opportunity?" I huff out flipping him off with my hand in my pocket.

"No...Dan...I just wanted to talk--" I cut him off. He just reminded me of someone.

"Hold on! I need to text someone!" I grab my phone and begin to text.

D - I really need to talk

"Um...I need to go to the bathroom...be right back...actually probably not...I don't know I might throw up...I might just have to pee...uh I'm gonna go now...ok?" Ok weirdo. I didn't need to know all that.

SD - What happened

D - I was beat up by Gene, Nick, and Jack and now I've been basically kidnapped to the house of Phil

SD - What are the injuries?

D - Bloody nose, busted lip, bruises scratches, and I passed out because I was probably kicked in the head

SD - You should probably but some band aids and ice packs on those

     I get up to see if I can find them only to notice...I already have band aids on and there are a few ice packs next to me.

D - I already have some on yet I just woke up

SD - ?

D - I think Phil took care of me

     Speak of the devil. Phil walks in. He heads to a computer set up and clicks on a game.

"Hope you don't mind Bo--Dan I'm going to play with a friend." That game is familiar. It's the one SD and I play! I go over to check how good he is based off of armor, weapons, levels, ect. Yet something catches my eyes. It's his gamer tag.

"S-SnowDude?!" It can't be.

There you go. I hope you all are having at least an ok day! <3
