An Angel in Disguise//Phan

Chapter 14

Phil's pov

I'm walking home, but I feel like I'm being watched. I look behind me and see Charlie walking only about ten feet behind me. His hands are stuffed in his pockets. I thought he had to leave.

"Charlie? What are you doing?" I ask

"Oh! Hi Phil!" Charlie seems jumpy.

"Uh, hi. So your house is this way to?" I ask him.

"Oh, uh, yeah!" Charlie seems, off.

"Uh, ok," I say and hurry off to my house.

I open the door and walk into my room. That was weird. Something seemed wrong with Charlie.

I brush it off and start getting ready for dinner, even though it's four hours away.

I put on some black skinny jeans and a blue checkered shirt, straighten my hair, etc. Once I'm ready I sit on my bed and watch YouTube on my phone. How cool would it be to have my own YouTube channel? Although no one would watch my videos, it would still be fun.

After countless YouTube videos I hear my name being called from downstairs.

"Phil! Time to go!" My mum shouts at the bottom of the stairs.

I slide my phone into my back pocket and make my way down the stairs.

"Ready to go?" My dad asks.

"Yup," we all get into the car and start the drive to Dan's house.

Soon we arrive and Dan's parents greet us at the door. They tell us dinner will be ready in a little bit so Dan and I go up to his room while our parents stay downstairs and talk. They sound like they're getting along pretty well so far.

"Sounds like our parents are getting along nicely," Dan remarks.

"Yeah, good thing my dads in a good mood tonight," I add quietly.

Dan and I played a few video games before we were called down for dinner.

"Boys! Dinner's ready!" We hear a voice coming from down the stairs.

We sit down at the table, Dan's Mum handing us each a plate of pasta. Throughout the dinner the parents talk, they're getting along really well which is good. Dan and I talk quietly between ourselves, mostly about video games or bands.

The dinner was amazing, the food cooked perfectly. Dan and I finished eating first so we decided to go back upstairs until it was time for me to leave.

"I'm glad our parents seem to like each other so much," I comment.

"Mhm, I was afraid they wouldn't get along," Dan replied.

"Our parents might be talking for awhile, my mum can talk forever, so do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Dan asks. That's true, my mum can also talk to people for hours. It might be awhile until I actually leave.

"Sure!"

Dan and I look through DVDs before finally settling on 'Titanic'. Cheesy, I know, but we couldn't seem to find anything better.

Dan pops the DVDs into his laptop. We cuddle on his bed as the movie starts to play.

A few minutes into the movie Dan leans over and kisses me. The kiss quickly escalates, and soon we somehow end up standing with me pushed against the wall. The movie quickly being forgotten as we have a quick make out session. It was quick because a few seconds in there's a loud knock on the door, causing both me and Dan to jump out of our skin.

Dan paused the movie and opened the door to be greeted by his mum.

"Phil, sweetie, you parents are about to leave," she says and walks back down the hall.

I go downstairs, my parents saying by to Dan's while I give Dan a goodbye hug. After goodbyes are exchanged I head out the door with my parents.

We hop in the car and my mum immediately starts talking about how much she enjoyed having dinner with Dan's family.

"They were so sweet, such fun to be around!" She chirps. My dad smiles and hums in agreement, his eyes focused on the road in front of him.

Dad looks down at his phone for second, taking his eyes off the road. In that one second he runs past a stop sign, nearly running into another car. Our car swerves and the other slams on its brakes to avoid ramming into us (get your mind out of the gutter).

"Shit!" Dad shouts as he swerved away from the car. Luckily we didn't run into the other car, that could have gone a lot worse.

We make it home, dad in a bad mood. He takes his shoes off and throws his coat to the ground. Yup, he's definitely not in a good mood anymore. It was nice while it lasted though.

He walks into the kitchen and comes out with a bottle of beer.  I know where this is going, it happens so often, one tiny thing happened that put him in a bad mood so now he's gonna drink his problems away. Not that were any problems to begin with, I think he just uses his bad mood as an excuse to drink more.

I go up the stairs and lock myself in my room, nothing good ever happens when my father is drunk. But if a just stay with my door locked he won't bother me, he'll just drink until he passes out on the couch.

Even though dad's downstairs drinking everything he can find, I'm still in a good mood. I had a pretty good day, well any day where I get to see Dan is a good day.  So I fall asleep happy.

*************

Finally after 300 years I decide to not be as useless as I already am and I actually wrote another chapter. I bet you all thought I was dead, although no one would care anyway.
