I got home and Chris and Pj were still there, "did it go well?" Chris asked "yeah actu-" Chris smacked me across the face, I stumbled back in pain and held my now very red cheek. "What the bloody hell was that for?!" I yelled, "You went on a date with DAN HOWELL!" Chris yelled, "So? I thought you wanted me to. Besides, it's all for the Prank." Chris rolled his eyes, "its all for the prank." Chris mocked. "Just get your head in the game Lester." Chris pulled my shirt in his fist. "Or there'll be major consequences."

Once pj and Chris left I heard yelling coming from outside, my first instinct thought it was pj, but then on closer inspection I found out the voice sounded like Dan. My Dan. Being yelled at by his father. I looked out the window to see Dan's father practically standing over him yelling his face off about coming home late. Dan's dad tore the sweater off him because he said it was too girly. All over Dan's arms and torso was littered with scars and bruises. Scars made by Dan. Bruises made by dad. I gasped then decided it was time to close the window.

   The second before I closed it I looked over at Dan's room. His father was yelling at him telling him he should've been home earlier. I felt extremely bad for getting him home late. It was my fault. i was the one that made him late. i opened the window again, dan's face was scattered with bruises, his flower crown was askew on his head, broken glass from a beer bottle and blood were all around him, that wasn't gonna happen to dan, my dan.

i angrily picked up the phone and called the police, mr howell, will not hurt my flower boy as long as i'm still breathing.

my phone screen lit up making my face bright the name 'pastel prince💜🖤' flashed on the screen,
"hello?" i said,

"ph-phil?" dan choked back a sob,

"dan? are you okay?"

"no phil! one of the neighbors or someone saw... something and they called the cops on my dad!"

"dan that's terrible!" i lied.

"c-can you come pick me up?"

"of course! i mean.. sure."

"a-and phil?"

"yeah?"

"i may have to stay with you for a few days b-but i.. is that okay?"

"that's completely fine dan, stay as long as you want."

so dan did, he stayed for two weeks to be exact and they were the best two weeks of his life, they shared kisses, cuddled, and played a lot of video games.

that was the week phil realized that pj and chris were wrong. he realized that he needed dan in order to survive. that dan was his everything and always would be,










....because phil lester loved dan howell.
