Phil's POV

I hope I see Dan. I was so scared yesterday. I reread his texts. Who was hurting him? I need to protect him no matter what. I quickly make my way to English to see if Dan is there. Thank God I was right. I see him, his head against the table and quietly sniffles leaving his body. I run over to him and pulled him straight into my arms. His breathing hitches and he hugs me back. 

"I-I'm sorry, Phil... I-I shouldn't have spoken to you. Now you're i-in danger and it's all my faul-"

"No. It's not your fault. It's never your fault, Dan.", I cut him off, not wanting to hear him repeatedly blame himself and put himself at fault. "Dan... From now on, you need to tell me everything. I want to help you...", I mumble and pet his hair. I dare myself to look at him and gasp softly. His face is covered in bruises. His lip was busted and he has a black eye. His honeycomb face tainted of it's beautiful colour. I grab his hand and run out of the class with him.

"P-Phil? What are you doing?", Dan whispered, as I drag him out of the school gates. I didn't answer, knowing he was gong to run straight back to school if I tell him. I now start to walk, absolutely exhausted running such a short distance. 

We soon arrive at my house, I know no one is in there. My mum's always at work and most of the time Martyn was either out or at work. Today is no different. I pull Dan inside, knowing he'd probably protest and say they'll get caught. I rush up to my room and plop down on my bed, pulling Dan down with me. 

"Phil what are you doing we're going to get caught!", he lets out a rushed whisper and gulps.

"No we're not. Everyone is out and if the school calls I'll pretend to be my mum!" I chirp and grin. Dan sighs and shrugs. I remember the main reason I dragged Dan here and quickly dart out of the room, grabbing a first aid box. I also get some food and drinks, since this was probably going to be like a mini sleepover. I return to Dan, who had now taken off his shoes and was sitting with his legs in his chest, and sit beside him, laying out the food. "Dan can I see all your injuries? I need to treat them if they're bad.", I say softly and wait for Dan to do anything he needed to. He nods and turns away for me before pulling off his jumper.

His back looked terrible. It had small dots from where he was possibly injected and large bruises. The same thing was on his arms and on his chest. I didn't want to think about it, but he had a nice body other than the bruises and injection sites. I quickly get to work. The only things I could properly treat is his busted lip and black eye. I sigh softly and started tend to his marks. I had brought up an ice pack for his eye, so I lay that on it, gaining a small wince from Dan, and did the same for his lip.

"I'm freezing now...", Dan jokingly whines and smiles a little. I chuckle and wrap him in blankets. I notice his dimples and instantly want to make him smile more. It was so cute. He is so cute. I mentally hit myself for thinking that and return back to helping Dan feel comfortable.

"Do you want to watch a movie or anything?", I ask and smile. Dan nods and asks to watch Shrek. I laugh and put it on for him. I scoot closer to him and feel him lean on me. My heartbeat skips a beat and my cheeks light up dimly. No way... I'm falling for Dan Howell.
