  I woke up to the sound of my front door being opened loudly. I look over at my cook 2:35 am. Who the hell is at the front door at 2:35 in the morning? I get out of bed just putting on a jacket. I only sleep in my boxers. I slowly open my door looking down the hall. I slowly walk over to the stairs to look over at the door. The door was shut. I sigh until i heard the pantry door close. I jump in my place. I slowly walked down the stairs over to the kitchen. I grabbed the umbrella by the front door. I know I could have done better but I had to think fast. I walked over to the pantry as the door opened I swung my umbrella screaming. 

The person caught my umbrella and grabbed my arm. "Daniel what in the world?!" I sighed to see that is was my father "Sorry, I thought you were an intruder." I say out of breath. "Come sit down, I'll make us cookies." I have no idea why he was making cookies but whatever. We both heard someone running down the stairs and we looked at each other. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????" My mom said running in here "I heard Dan screaming! Honey are you okay???" She asked kissing my head "Mom I'm fine! Dad just scared me." My mom looked over at my dad who was making cookies. "Why are you making cookies at 2:40 in the morning?" My dad shrugged and took a sip of milk. "Okay Santa clause!" My mother said rolling her eyes. 


My mother went back upstairs once she knew we were both safe. I took a cookie and ate it really fast "Woh son slow down there! I don't want you getting sick!" I nodded while drinking my mike "Sorry. I just get really hungry when I wake up." My dad laughed. "Well, I'm going to bed. You should too because you have school in the morning!" My dad walks back upstairs. I sighed and put my head on the table.

I woke up and turned off my alarm. Ugh I am tired of this stupid clock. I turn over and close my eyes until my phone went off. I grabbed it happy to see who it was.

Phil: Morning :)

Dan: Morning :)

Phil: Do you want to Skype before school? 

Dan: Yeah!

I quickly got up and fixed my hair. He was calling. I jumped onto my bed and answered it. "Hey! How did ya sleep?" He asked with the biggest smile. "Uh I slept okay. Snazzy glasses by the way!" I could see him blush " Oh thanks." I laughed "Anything for a friend!" When I said that he laughed "What is up with the wink?" Shit! "Oh sorry. I do that randomly. I call it the inappropriate winking!" I said winking again. I mentally slapped myself. He was laughing. "Dan what are you doing?" My mother came in. She froze when she saw Phil "Oh! Sorry is this a friend from school?" I looked at Phil looking for an answer "Some what." Phil had the biggest smile. It was really cute. "Hello Dan's mom!" My mom got closer to the screen. "Hello young man!" I pushed my mom "I'm Phil by the way!" God why did Phil have to be so adorably nice? "Well Phil it was nice to meet you! Dan get ready soon!" I nodded and looked back at Phil when she shut the door.

"Hey Phil I need to get ready." He looked sad. "Why can't you just Skype and get ready? I can do it too!" I smiled a little "Okay." He looked around his room "Let's see who gets ready the fastest! Go!!!" I quickly got up and ran to my closet. When I turned around I saw him with no shirt on, putting on a yellow shirt. I froze. Once he saw me looking he laughed "Dude you are going to lose!" I snapped out of it then put on a red shirt. I ran to my bathroom to brush my teeth. When I came back into my room I saw on his screen he was done. He was doing a victory dance. "Yes is win!!!" I rolled my eyes "Yeah yeah!" He stopped dancing "Well you probably would have won if you didn't stare at me!" Shit. I started to blush. I don't think he saw that though. "I have to go!" Phil said sadly "Okay. Bye!" I logged off.


I was sitting in my desk thinking about Phil shirtless. The bell rang and I quickly snapped out of it. I was walking into the lunch room when I ran into Arianna. "Oh hey Dan." I smile a little "Hey." Caleb looks over at me with a death stare "Your brother is looking." She sighed "I will see you later." She walked away from me. I grabbed my lunch and sat down. "I hope you don't mind me eating your lunch" I just kept looking down. Its not worth it. "Listen I don't want you talking to my sister ever again, got it?" I kept my head down "Hey faggot!" He said pushing me. I nodded as he walked away laughing. I ran out of the lunch room and went to my class early.

I was walking home when I decided I would go get some coffee. I walked in the doors and waved at Jenna. She is another girl who I know. "Coming right up Dan!" Is it bad that people who work here know what I like? I grabbed my drink and started to walk home. As i was walking I saw Phil at the park on the swings. "PHIL!" He looked over at me smiling. I walked over to him "Hey Dan!" He said as he hugged me. When he did so I blushed. He let go "What are you doing?" I manged to ask. "Oh I was bored so I decided to come here." I nodded. My phone went off "Hello?"

Phil's P.O.V.

Dan was on the phone with someone. I don't know who though. He seemed kind of awkward when I hugged him. Should I have not done that?? Dan hung up the phone and sighed. "What was that about?" I sounded nosy. "Oh that was my mom. Her and my dad will be out of town for a week so she was letting me know." I nodded. "When are they leaving?" He looked at his phone. "U-uh tomorrow. I need to get home." Dang. Wait "I can walk you home!" He smiled and nodded.

We arrived at his house. Wow, he had a nice home! "Thanks. I will text you later. I nodded "Bye!" He shut the door as I was walking away.

Dan's P.O.V.

I woke up to the sound of my window being smashed. "Faggot!" I could hear kids running down the street. Shit! I called my mom "Hey mom are you home?" "No we left are you okay" I said yes then I hung up. I called Phil. "Dan its 1:00 in the morning what is up?" I tried not to cry. "Just come to my house! And Phil it is Christmas break!" I hung up and ran outside. That was when I started to cry.

Phil's P.O.V.


I showed up at Dan's house. He was crying and on his garage said "Gaylord". 

"Dan?" He looked over at me crying. I hugged him. "Hey. Let me help you get this off." He nodded. Who wrote this? Why did they call him Gaylord? I would ask all these in the morning. Not now though.
