Phan is in the air

Finding a Criminal

Phil's P.O.V

I stepped out into the chilled air and wrapped my jacket tighter around me. Stupid fall. I pulled out my phone and there were 10 missed calls from John.

I deleted them all without a second thought. I walked up to the bus stop and waited for about five minutes. When the bus came i stepped on and gave the driver my ticket. I kept my head down making sure not to make eye contact with anybody. I sat down in an empty seat by myself by the window and suddenly felt a tap on my arm. I jumped a bit and turned to my side. Sitting next to me was a little girl maybe about 5 or 6 years old. She had light brown braids that went down to her stomach. She had sparkling hazel eyes and a dress with leggings and boots on.

"hi. Im Lana." she said in a cute high pitched voice.

"hi, Lana. Im Phil. how are you?"

"i'm good. But you look really sad Phil."

"I am pretty sad."

"But ,why?"

"Because my boyfriend is in the hospital."

"Boyfriend? Thats cool. Then you dont have to have a bunch of girly stuff in your house."

"Yeah it is pretty cool."

A tall woman who looked like Lana called her over to get of the bus.

"well Phil i have to go." she hugged me and put her coat on.

"Please be happy Phil. Everyone deserves to be happy."

She skipped off the bus with her mom and i looked down at my lap. Lana was right, everybody deserved to be happy. So i shouldnt feel like shit for what was John's fault. The whole bus ride to the hospital i sat staring out into the night with a smile on my face thinking about how when Dan was out of the hospital, i would make sure our life's were perfect.
