Two Of A Kind

Phil: Nineteen

I woke up from a notification that was on my phone. It was tempting to just fall back into sleep, but decided a quick look at my phone to put my curiosity out wouldn't do any harm.

I picked up my phone, forgetting that it's plugged in and ripped the charger from the wall. I hate when that happens. All for nothing, too because it was just a notification from a game anyways.

I sigh and roll out if bed so I can plug my phone back in. And I'm glad I did because it wasn't until I was standing and looking around that I noticed Dan wasn't there.

I looked around again to make sure he wasn't in the room and deducted that he definitely was not. His coat was also not in the room where it previously had been.

I wonder how long Dan has been out of bed. I grabbed a blanket and drapped it around my shoulders because it was really cold and I headed out to look for him. I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep knowing he wasn't in the room, and not even knowing where he was in general.

Once I left my bedroom I could clearly tell he hadn't just gotten up to use the bathroom because the bathroom door was open and it was empty.

I continued my search down the stairs and into the kitchen and dining room still finding nothing. I was about to look in the living room I noticed that Dans shoes were gone.

Had he left and gone home? In the middle of the night? Without telling Me? That's seemed like an odd way to start our friendship or relationship thing. Whatever it was we had.

I pull on my shoes and hug the blanket over my arms tighter as I open the door. Maybe he had me actually gone home and I'm just being crazy.

The air felt cold and dry like it usually does after rain, but the ground was still soft and wet. Soft enough,  luckily, to make foot prints leaning off Into the trees. What was he doing out there?

I step down onto the mud, careful to make sure my blanket doesn't drag in it and follow the foot prints further into the outdoors. 

As i walk between the tall trees I remember times when I used to spend all my time out here. I would go far into the woods and disappear. Sometimes my parents would be out looking for me for an hour because I had wandered so far.

I pass my old treehouse that just looks soggy and sad right now in the dark after the storm. Maybe if I fixed it up it's be a great little hangout for me. I'll have to remember that.

After I am a little pass the tree house I hear a snap of a twig. At first I just though it was an animal, but I soon can see and person. Another step closer and the person is unmistakable Dan.

"Dan? What are you doing out here?" I ask as I keep walking closer to him. When I'm finally close enough to him to see him properly in the dark I can see her covered in mud.

"Oh! Phil?! I was just getting some fresh air. I didn't think you were awake."he said awkwardly. All the while there was tweeting coming from his pocket which sounded like a bird.

"Is that A bird? You know what, never mind. Anyways why are you covered in mud? And you must be cold out here." I say suddenly feeling protective.

"Come on, Dan, let's get you back to the house and clean you up."

Hello there. It's me, your internet entertainer, who remixes the dictionary.  My job is coming up with too many ideas for stories, not having enough time to write all of them, write some if my story ideas, and, putting, commas, in, unnecessary, places,

I have two more days until spring break! Yay! I can't wait to sleep in for like a whole week.

Do you like the style of your living room?

How many tv's do you have in your house?

What's the oddest animal you've ever seen in real life?

What's your favorite movie?( and is it I. Hulu or Netflix, because if it is I might watch it)

Love You! Bye!
