Hush《D.H.+P.L.》

You swear to listen

Hey, sorry I wasn't at school today, still feeling sick ):

'Message saved as draft.'

I've read your messages, don't worry I'm fine!

'Message saved as draft.'

Don't worry about me, sorry I wasn't at school this week. I'm really fine, Dan.

'Message saved as draft.'

Phil just couldn't send any of the messages to Dan. Dan's been messaging him all week, and Phil felt like all his messages made it obvious he was upset. He wasn't even sure what he was upset over specifically. It literally just felt like everything was upsetting.

Phil, please answer me I really need to know you're okay. Phil read Dan's latest message with a small sigh. What should he say? Dan was probably really upset and worried about him, and he didn't even know how to respond. With a sigh, Phil decided he'd send the next message without any hesitation.

Hey Dan I'm really sorry I worried you! Phil sent the message and smiled a little as Dan responded instantly.

Thank God you're okay oh my good God man you scared me to death

Sorry!

Hey uh not to sound creepy but what's your address

No offense but that's really creepy why do you need to know?

Well after all that's happened and you not coming to school I mean I kinda out 2 and 2 together and I know you're skipping

Phil hesitated responding. Honestly, he was absolutely right. Phil was skipping because he was afraid to go back. Afraid to face the possibility that everything was staged or that everyone knew what had happened. Or, even worse, it would happen again. Jacob had other friends, and he and Dan knew that.

No I'm sick

No you're Phil and you're skipping

I'm not

U are

Am not

Are so

Am not

What's you're address

123 sesame street

Pretty pleaseeeeeeee? Is it a crime to wanna make sure youre ok??

Can't you just take my word for it?

Nope

Fine

Phil texted his address to Dan then told him to text him when he got there. Phil laid his phone on the small table next to his bed. He felt too tired for all this. He wanted to talk to Dan but not about anything that was going on. Again he felt trapped. So much to say but no one to listen. No resolve but so much to be resolved.

Phil shut his eyes. Why did he feel so upset? So miserable all the time? Why was Dan being so nice to him? Why was he caring about Phil? Why was Phil letting him? Maybe because deep down Phil knew Dan was a good guy. Or maybe Dan's gorgeous looks worked on him. Who knew?
