"Dan, we need you to tell us what happened or we can't take the bad guy away." The officer says, but Dan freaks out at her last words.
"I d-don't want you to take him aw-way. I l-love him. He w-was only trying to help m-me." He sobs, once again curled into his knees, but against the wall of the living room.
"How was he helping you sweetheart? With what?"
"He was h-helping me get o-over my o-old roommate. When I thought of h-him or t-talked to him he'd b-beat me or i-if I did s-something else that deserved punishment."
"Alright, thank you Daniel."
The brown haired boy seemed to forget Phil was there when he said that, but Phil heard it.
Was this all because of him?
The police began to push the abuser, who Phil found to be named Charlie.
Charlie was glaring at the smaller boy. When he noticed, he broke down even more, "I'm s-sorry! I'm s-so sorry baby..."
Phil went to Dan and hugged him tightly, and though the brown eyed boy flinched, he accepted the comfort gratefully.
Charlie just scoffed before being shoved out the door.
"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner Dan, you didn't deserve any of this..."
Dan takes the moment to look into Phil's blue eyes, his cheeks soaked and eyes puffy.
"...I promise I'll do whatever I can to protect you from here on out."
