1 week later

I had been avoiding Jackson and Alex at all cost. I wouldn't even make eye contact with them in the halls. I kept putting off whatever my answer was and kept to myself. But it has been a week, I guess I should make my choice...

I sat on my bed thinking of what to decide, and I mentally made a pros and cons list. Alex was the best choice, and I did have feelings for him anyway... It's a Saturday so, no school. I walked to Alex's house to say yes.

I knocked on the door and waited. Once he opened the door his coffee coloured eyes lit up.
"Yes." I said. Answering his question from last week.
"Really?" He asked excitedly. I hugged him, it felt... right, somehow. I felt bad about Jackson but I know Alex better. He's my best friend and now boyfriend. Boyfriend. What a strange word.

Time later

Alex and I hung out at his house for awhile and Phil called me.
"Are you okay?" Phil asked me nervously
"Yes, I'm at Alex's. Remember?" I replied trying not to have a rude attitude.
"...oh, I forgot. Sorry to bother you," he sadly said, "Bye, love you."
"Love you too." We hung up.

"Everything alright?" Alex asked me worryingly.
"Yeah...fine." I was worried. Phil wasn't his normal cheerful self. I left it alone. Alex was looking at me worried, so I fake smiled and threw a pillow at him. Making him smile and throw another back at me.

We continued talking for hours on end. It was nice. We talked for such a long period of time I eventually fell asleep. I woke up to him just millimeters away from my face. I, being too tired to realize, fell back asleep.

Next Day, Sunday.

Phil got sick over night so I made him some tea when I got home. I left him alone most of the day so he could rest, and I did my homework.

I finished my homework surprisingly early so to help out Phil I cleaned up our flat and made him more tea. I felt so bad for him, after losing Dan he's been in a substantial amount of pain. Him being sick won't help. He, besides Alex and Ellie, is all I have. I can't lose him. As I cleaned I went into the room where Dan and Phil would always make their gaming videos to see Phil recording. I glanced at the screen to see he was playing the Sims 4 with Dil and Tabitha. I always loved those videos, they made me laugh and smile when I couldn't.

I went up behind Phil and hugged him.
"Dilitha" I whispered just loud enough for the microphone to pick it up. Phil let out a small laugh and smiled widely as I left the room. I stood in the doorway and watched him play. He seemed happy to look at the memories him and Dan made together over the years. He really has no idea how many he has saved, if only we could have saved Dan. I heard a knock at the front door and checked who it was. Alex, I hadn't told Phil we're dating yet.

"Come in." I said and walked into the gaming room and wrote Alex is here on a post-it note. As soon as we were out of Phil's sight Alex hugged me. After, we went to my room and played board games for hours. I beat him a couple times at the Game Of Life. He eventually quit and picked a game he was actually good at.

He left after a few hours of seemingly endless laughs and games. Once he left, I told Phil about us. He told me he secretly shipped it. I am pretty okay with that.

Monday

I woke up somehow shocked to hear my alarm going off. I shut off my alarm and laid in bed staring at my ceiling. School is the last place I want to be, but Ellie and Alex will be there. So I'll somehow manage to survive it. I put on some dark blue jeans, black converse, a Supernatural shirt and a black hoodie to hide the so called "weirdness" of it. I dreaded going to any of my classes besides Social Studies, I somehow found it fascinating instead of boring. I went through the without Alex, assuming he's sick. No one made any snarky comments at me. That is pretty uncommon.
