Chapter Seventeen

Phil's Pov

I now look at the boy who I saved. I never thought of how he felt. I felt guilt, but I saved him.

Damn. I saved the boy I feared. Do I fear him now? Do i fear this city? Most importantly, did I really save him?

Dan Howell. The boy who pushed me and told me to stay away from this town. I must admit, I don't know what he meant by that. But after thinking about it for the now ten months of being in this town, I think I know the real purpose.
The real purpose of Dan. What his purpose was for me to see. He needed the help. His poor friend died, he has nothing. He has no education, no path to go for him.

Shit. My mum and I were wrong. Dan was lost. He didn't need a job, he needed somewhere to go, a new perspective, not a job. He wasn't ready for a big responsibility like this. He just needed somebody to care for him. He needed someone to love because he didn't know how to love himself. But it's too late. Dan is leaving to Manhattan and Im stuck in the town he was stuck in. But Dan was still here, his soul was just leaving this town behind.

I didn't realize how much I cried. I kept thinking Dan needs someone to love. Dan needs someone to love.

And I know now that I want to love him. My hand flew above his gentle face, whom was in pain. He looked like an angel when he slept. I sighed and picked up the phone.

Im going to make a phone call that will be the most biggest move in my life.
I picked up my phone, realizing the emotions I had for him were strong. All along, this was what I was missing.

This is for you, Dan. I love you.
