Phil's POV
"I can't do this anymore, Peej."
"What?"
Peej looks up at from his laptop, confused. I sigh and bring my hands together. "This. I can't stand it anymore. It's been a month since I've seen Dan or Seven."
Peej's face falls. "So? I'm sure they're doing just fine."
I shake my head. "I miss them. I probably shouldn't miss Dan, but I do. And Seven is my son. He means a lot to me." it's true, Seven really does mean a lot to me. I know I mean a lot to him as well.
"Well-you can visit them and text and call." Peej suggests. There's a small glint of worry in his eyes.
"I know. But that's not enough. I want-"
"You want what Phil? You want to move back in with them?" my boyfriend's voice raises. I flinch but nod my head slowly. "Peej, it's not you, I just really miss them. Dan's been my friend since 2009."
"Yeah but, Seven has only been your son since three months ago." Peej protests.
"I've made up my mind Peej. I'm leaving."
"What if they don't want you back?"
My blood freezes. Peej gives me a pointed look. "They will. I'm going to call Dan."
Peej furrows his eyebrows but I quickly exit the room and step outside the front door. I pull out my phone and my finger hovers over Dan's name.
What if they don't want me back?
I push the thought away and press his name before I can change my mind. After three rings, Dan picks up.
"Phil?"
"Dan, I want to come home." my voice cracks. I hear Dan's breath hitch.
"What?"
"Please, Dan, I want to come home. I don't like it here. We can talk out the fight later but I really want to come home. I miss Seven and you. I don't love Peej as much as I thought I did. Dan let me come home." my eyes water and I quickly wipe them.
"Phil, I do want you to come home. Do you want to talk to Seven? He's been practically destroyed for the past month, he made me take him out of school. He barely communicates with his friends. Talking to you after a month might do him some good."
My heart twists. It's my fault Seven's like this. Because I left.
"Yes, Dan, let me talk to him."
"Alright, thank you, lemme get him."
I hear shuffling and few muffled voices before a shaky voice lets out, "Hello?"
"Seven!"
"Phil?"
"Seven, I miss you so much. I want to come home. I love you and Dan more than anything else. I'm sorry about the fight, we can talk everything out later. I just want to be home."
And suddenly, I regret absolutely everything. Enjoying kissing Peej, saying yes to him, fighting my love for Dan, leaving Seven. I regret it.
Dan means so much to me. More than I ever thought.
And everyone who ships us is right. They all know, they won't be surprised when if we tell them this story. I love Dan. I love Seven. I love my Phamily.
"Will you be okay with me coming back Seven?" I ask, my voice dying down a bit.
"Yes, Phil! Please. I want you to come home."
A wide smile forms on my face and I hear Seven give Dan the phone again.
"Phil, I'm so sorry about the fight. I'm sorry I've fallen in love with you. I'm sorry this is so sappy. I love you and Seven more than anything, Phil, you're my sun, my daylight."
I laugh, my tongue poking out. "I feel special."
"You are."
A feeling of warmth and happiness appears in my chest. We said those words to each other a few years ago, but the other way around.
"Phil?"
"Yeah?"
"Please come home."
"I'm coming home, coming home, tell the world that I'm coming home. Let the rain, wash away-"
"Shut up you spork!" Dan laughs. I grin and reply with an 'okay, I shall get to packing, see you in a bit.'
After he hangs up I go to the room Peej lent me and pull out the suitcase I used to bring everything here.
I'm going home.
