I watched as my boyfriend was pulled out of the room to soon be put in essentially a giant magnet.

"I hope he's okay," Adrain broke the previous silence.
"Me too," I agreed.
"I don't know what I'd do without him,"
"Me either."

We remained silent until Dan was back in the room. He seemed fine. Worried, but fine.

"How was it?" I asked
"Boring," he laughed.
"How are you feeling?"
"Well, sore but not as bad as I did,"
"That's good to hear,"
"I really hope you're okay, Dan." Adrain hugged him quickly and didn't look like he wanted to let go.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door coming from a woman dressed professionally. The doctor was with her. My stomach dropped when I realized she was probably from CAS coming to talk to Dan.

"Hello, I'm Lynette from Children's Aid Society,"
"Hello," Dan spoke,
"I'm presuming you're Dan?"
"That's me," Dan seemed surprisingly calm.
"Is if okay for me to ask a few questions?"
"I guess so,"

Dr. Shepard got a chair for her as well as Adrian and I.

"Has you're father ever done anything like this before?"
Dan paused before speaking, "no," he was quiet.
"Are you sure?" Dan nodded and she asked another question, "What about your mother?"
"She hasn't done anything,"
"Adrian," she suddenly looked in Adrian's direction, "Have your parents done anything?"
"No." He shook his head.
"Dr. Shepard, do you have results back from Dan's MRI?"
"I do," he reached down to his clipboard and put a couple pieces of film on a board, turning a light on behind them. "He had 3 broken ribs as you can see here, but other than that there's nothing too serious."
"Will my ribs heal?" Dan asked,
"Over time," Dr. Shepard said
"I'm going to have you signed up for therapy and you'll go home with visits to your home."
"Wait, you're saying I'm just going to go home like everything is normal?" Dan spoke and his hands started shaking slightly. "We're still going to live with my father?"
"I don't see much of an issue here,"
"So my dad gets a second chance and I have to go to therapy?"
"That's correct."
"I'm not living with him," Dan fought, "aren't you worried he'll just do it again?"
"Is there a reason why he did this?"
Dan was quiet for a second before answering, "I told him I was gay and he did this, why wouldn't he just do it again."
"Okay." She looked down at her papers, "Ill put a restraining order against him and you'll be living with your mom full time."
"Mother." Dan corrected her
"You'll be living with your mother full time."
"Adrian too?" He asked
"Adrian too. You'll still be going to therapy." Dan nodded and the woman, Lynette left along with Dr. Shepard who said he'd be back in a couple minutes.

"That's good that you don't have to live with your father anymore," I tried to cheer him up.
"Yeah," he twiddled his thumbs.
"Dan?" He looked up to me and Adrian left, sensing that I wanted to ask Dan something, "We're dating, right?"
"I guess so, if you want to be,"
"I do want to be dating, as long as you want to,"
"This is starting to sound like a sappy romance movie," I laughed at Dan's comment and kissed him gently.

Dan's POV

"I'm so glad we're done with this crap for a little while," I say to my boyfriend as we walk out of our highschool hand in hand.
"We should do something!" He says
"Like what?"
"There's a fair about an hour away, you want to go?"
"I guess so," I agree

We went back to Phil's house and grabbed a couple things before leaving. I didn't need to get anything but Phil needed to get his wallet and a clean shirt because I accidentally spilt some food on him; typical me.

---

As the upbeat music was playing, a grey cloud filled the sky and a huge storm took over. It was odd that even in the summer, this could happen. "I guess we better go home," Phil turned the car around and started driving back home. We both felt a bit sad but it was fine because it was just nice to be together. Everyday, I loved Phil more and more. I suddenly burst out of my thoughts when I said, "I love you, Phil." I of course had told him this already so he just smiled and said he loved me too. That was comforting to hear.

---

We arrived at Phil's house, which was empty. "Where's your family?" I ask
"My mom is somewhere, probably work and I don't know where my dad is."
"What about your brother?" Phil didn't say anything, just tended up and stared at nothing. I spoke again, "Phil?"
He looked up at me with tearing eyes. I pulled him into a hug to hopefully make him feel better. Why was he upset? I hope I didn't say something. He pulled away and spoke up, "Dan, I meant to tell you this ages ago when it happened," he paused and looked at the ground then looked back up to me, "my brother, he-he- k-killed h-himself." My heart sank as he said that.
"Oh my god, Phil," was all I said before pulling him into a tighter hug, I let him cry and I tried comforting him as best I could.

---

Phil cheered up a bit and we sat and cuddled on his bed, just talking. Suddenly the lights flickered off. I felt Phil hold on to me tighter. "I think it's just a blackout," I spoke looking back at Phil who loosened his grip, "it's fine," We stayed cuddled in the dark and I felt Phil kiss me. He swung his leg over mine and kissed me again but with more force. I kissed back happily.

The kiss began to get heated and I hadn't realized that I was kind of smiling into the kiss. I pulled away slightly and looked at Phil even though it was dark. I could see Phil's facial features and reached my hands up to him and held his face in my hands. I brought his face closer and we started kissing again. He pulled off my shirt and dropped it and I did the same with his.

---

We didn't actually do anything more. I didn't want to and he didn't either; it was a mutual decision.

We ended up laying on the bed and trying to sleep but just talked for a while. We had been cuddling and I tried pulling him impossibly closer. It was weird that I usually hated being touched by people whether it be a hug, handshake or even high-five sometimes (although I wouldn't have done anything to deserve a high-five). With Phil I just wanted to hug him and never let go.

"I love you," I said with a smile,
"I love you too Dan."

A/N

I'm thinking the next chapter might be the last? I don't have many more ideas for this book.

I have a lot of book ideas (all of which are probably really short) and I'd like to write and post those.

If you like this book, you'll probably like the books I'm going to post soon...

SORRY THIS IS LONG!!

(I'm going to try to stop doing a/n in my next books)

BYE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR!!
