Just "Friends"

"Phil...I..."

I woke up to the sound of shuffling. I groan and pull the sheets over my head. "Oh come on Dan! We need to get going!" What? I peeked out my head "Go where?" He looked at me confused. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.." I sat up "Phil...." He rubber his neck "Today is my cousins 17th birthday, we are going over to his house to celebrate! Do you want to come?" He looked like he really wanted me to go. Ugh. How could I say no to that face "Fine. I'll go!" He jumped "Yes!!! Okay get dressed! We will be leaving soon." He ran out of the room.

I walked out of Phil's room to go to the bathroom. I closed my eyes for a second when I fell. "AHHHHH!!!!!!" I screamed as I was rolling down the stairs. I could hear people running to the stairs "DAN!" I heard Phil's voice. Once I reached the bottom step he caught me "Dan! Are you okay?!?!?!" I groaned. "Y-yeah. Ugh that hurt!" Phil sighed and started to laugh. Phil's mom helped me up "Go in the kitchen honey. Phil, Martyn I need to talk to you." I looked at Phil concerned but the I walked into the kitchen.

Phil's P.O.V.

"Boys, today we are going to have fun! But there is something I need to tell you." Martyn and I looked at each other confused. "What is it mum?" Martyn asked. I could see my mum get sad. "Hey! Its okay. What happened?" She sighed, its your father..." I was scared. Martyn and I kinda already knew what had happened though. "Your father left. He said he couldnt-" before she could finish Martyn and I hugged her. "Don't worry mum. We are here. Let's just focuse on us!" I said feeling her tears. I let go and walked into the kitchen to meet Dan.

He got up quickly. I could tell he was worried about what had happened. He doesn't know what happened. I don't want him to worry about it so I just smiled. He saw I didn't want to talk about it so he looked down then he sat back down. I got a glass of water. "Phil." I looked over at Dan "Yeah?" He sighed "You're shaking." I looked at my hands. So I was. I put the glass down and I ran to my room. Dan ran after me.

"Phil! Wait up!" I closed my door and jumped onto my bed crying. He walked in and sat next to me. "Hey. Phil...I'm so-" before he could finish I hugged him. "My father. He left! How could he just leave?" Dan just listened to me. He spoke up "Phil. I'm sorry. Things like this happen. But just know I will never leave you!" I let go of him and I looked into his eyes. "Thanks.." He nodded. I wiped my tears. "We should get going. We don't want to miss a birthday now do we!" I laughed a little. Dan grabbed my hand and we walked out of my room.

We were in the car. My mum and brother were in the front while Dan and I were in the back seat. We were all listening to music and laughing. I thought I saw Dan looking at me a few times. Should I bring up the fact that we almost kissed the other day? I probably shouldn't. I don't know why I almost did kiss him. He is my best friend.

Dan's P.O.V.

We got out of the car and walked into the nice house. This house was huge on the inside! They looked kinda rich. But who am I assuming things. Phil went around hugging people as I just stood there looking like a lost awkward idiot who walked into the wrong house. "Jack this is my best friend Dan." I looked over at Jack "Hi." I said smiling. "Its nice to meet you!" I nodded "Happy birthday!" I said guessing he was the birthday boy. "Thanks!" I smiled and nodded "You're welcome dude!" Dude. Really Dan. Really. Ughhh. Jack walked away saying hi to everyone else. Phil came closer to me "So, fun party huh?" I laughed rolling my eyes "If I knew this was a rich party I would have never came Philly." He pushed me "Hey! I needed you here! You make it fun around here." We both laughed at our clingy ness over each other. "Phil...there is something I have been wanting to talk to you about...." Crap. Why was I saying this. He looked at me like he was ready for my question. I sighed. "About when we almo-" before I could finish his eyes widened and he pulled me upstairs into a room. He locked the door and leaned on it. "I wanted to talk to our about the same thing." I nodded, "listen Dan. You are my best friend. I don't want to ruing things." Oh. I knew he didn't like me. I nodded and looked down. "Yeah. Me too." I looked up "It was something stupide we almost did. Bro?" He nodded "Bro!" We smiled at each other and he hugged me. Shit I was about to cry. God Dan. Not now! Once he let go he looked at me sad "Dan, are you okay?" I nodded quickly. "I just need air." I ran out and Phil chased me "Dan! Wait!" I ran out the door with people looking at me.

I stopped at the bridge and I looked into the water. Ugh Dan. Why do you have to be such a screw up! "Dan!" I looked over and saw Phil running toward me. "Dan....I didn't mean to hurt you." I shook my head. "No its fine. I just thought you hated me." Phil shook his head "Of course not!" He said looking hurt I said that. "You're right sorry." He sighed then he hugged me. When he hugged me I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "Look its the Gaylord!" I heard a guys yell and people started to walk towards us. "Shit." I heard Phil say. Caleb came over then Phil went in front of me "Oh look. If it isn't balls! Out of my way!" Phil pushed him. Two of Caleb's friends grabbed me and Caleb hit Phil. "NO!" I screamed as Phil fell to the floor. Caleb stepped over him until Phil tripped him. Two of Caleb's friends also grabbed Phil. Caleb looked over at me and hit my in the stomach "DAN! LET GO OF HIM!" Caleb ignored him and hit me again. "STOP! PLEASE!" Phil started to cry. Caleb and his friends were laughing. They tied phil against a tree "No! Stop!" Once I said that he hit me again. Caleb and his friends also tied me up. "I have had enough of you Gaylord! I think it is time for you to go." He said punching me in the face. Phil screamed. I looked at Phil to see him crying. "Phil...I..." Before I could finish Caleb pushed me over the bridge.

Phil's P.O.V.

"DANNY!!!!!!" Caleb and his friends ran off. Dan! No! "DAN! FUCK! FUCK! HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!" Dan was in the water. Tied up so he couldn't breath. Oh god. Dan. I struggled to untie myself but I couldnt. Fuck!
