i walked away from the boy- who i was deeply in love with -with my heart drooping low and my hands in my pockets.

i kicked a few rocks as i walked away from the school. i was under so much stress right now and i couldn't bear to be at that hell.

not now, anyway.

i decided to go to the forest. it calmed me down a lot. the tall trees, the slight smell of petrichor, the dark green grass.

everything.

i sat down up againt a tree, probably staining my black jeans with silver dew on the grass.

but i didn't care.

i felt alone, but not lonely. i felt, at home, and safe.

until i heard footsteps.

i stood up and looked around, not daring to say a word.

i was terrified.

i saw a shadow emerging from behind a few trees, my eyes not being sure what to make of it, but my brain telling me to step backwards slowly. i started stepping backwards until i tripped.

great.

the figure got closer, until i could finally make out who it was.

"phil?" i asked in shock. "why are you here?"

i threw his cigarette onto the ground and stood on it.

"i'm so sorry, dan. i was an asshole back there. i should've told you what was wrong. i should've, but i didn't. and now i've caused you pain. i cause everyone pain" he looked down and played with the strings on his sweatpants.

"you don't cause me pain, phil. i underst-"

"no, dan. that's the thing. you don't understand. no one understands" he turned around. i stood up and walked over to him.

"i care about you" i said quietly.

"huh?"

"i, i care about you. and i'm sure other people do too" i spoke a little louder.

"why?" he turned back to face me.

"because, phil lester, you're an amazing person. you're funny, smart, kind, everything" i smiled. "i don't care if you're upset or angry, it doesn't change what i think of you and it doesn't change who you are as a person. now i know it might've seemed like i was upset but really i-"

i was cut off.

by the feel of phil's lips pressed against mine.
