Foster Care//Phan [Complete]

Chapter 5

Phil's POV

-At Lunch-

I smiled happily as Dan and I walked to lunch. He seemed really uneasy and he still seemed really sad. I wish I could make him happy. Honestly, he hasn't talked all day really... other than this morning when we sang in the car. God his voice is so fucking gorgeous. How could anyone as perfect as him be feeling the way he does? It confuses me so much...

"PHIIIIIL! PEEJ HIT ME!" I heard one of my best friends yell out, causing me to leave my thoughts. I shook my head and lead Dan over to the table. PJ smiled, having a blush on his face "I only hit you because you're an inappropriate dork" Chris, my other best friend was smirking from ear to ear "You can't say you don't love me" PJ rolled his eyes and looked at me "ANYWAY" he said a bit loudly, changing the subject "Who's your friend Phil?" He questioned as Dan sat down. "Is he a boyfriend Philly~?" Chris asked, wiggling his eyebrows. I felt my cheeks heat up, laughing as PJ hit the back of his head "Hush it" I smiled happily and sat beside Dan.

I looked at him "Do you want to introduce yourself?" I asked and frowned slightly as he shook his head. Chris and PJ exchanged looks before looking at me confused. "This is Dan... He's my new foster brother... I don't know why he's in foster care, he's rather quiet and shuts most people out... so if he does it to you don't get upset please guys... I am assuming he's been through a lot or he wouldn't be so depressed. So please be here for him and maybe he'll open up" I finished and glanced at Dan. He was chewing on his lip as he scratched at his thighs. I hope he's not scratching cuts...

PJ was the first to speak "Well... Dan, I'm PJ. I'll most certainly be here for you if you ever need someone. And you're a really lucky guy to be Phil's foster brother. I know for sure he'll go through anything to make sure you feel happy before worrying about himself" Dan looked at me, his eyes looking as if he was wanting to know if that was true. I smiled widely and nodded "I put others before myself any day"

Chris smiled proudly "And I'm Chris. I'll be here for you as well mate! I'm pretty hyper though so hopefully you don't mind but my hottie best friend Peej is a lot calmer and has a way with words to bring a smile to anyone's face. I'm always up for a movie marathon or a gaming session though!" I could've sworn I saw a smile tug on Dan's lips. Maybe Chris and PJ can help me make him happy. He definitely needed some friends. I hoped to be one of those!

"T-Thanks.." Dan mumbled out. I smiled widely and bit my lip. Chris and PJ smiled and spoke in unison "You're welcome" Chris smirked slightly at PJ "Awh you took the words right out of my mouth! That must mean we're made for each other" PJ's face glowed red "S-shut up" Chris smirked proudly with his flirting.

I felt a tug on my shirt, seeing it was Dan. He leaned over and whispered in my ear "Are they together or?" I laugh slightly and shake my head "No but I think they are secretly." Chris heard me and piped up "Are what Philly?" PJ sighed and shook his head "I'm so done" I laughed "Dating" Chris smirked and wrapped an arm around PJ "Not yet we're not" PJ groaned and sighed out in frustration. I heard a giggle and looked over at Dan, who had his hands over his mouth and sat there wide eyed. He giggled!? Holy fuck that was cute. I blushed at the thought, accidentally mumbling "That's cute"

Chris smirked "What's cute Phiiiiil" I blushed brighter and bit my lip. Dan's cheeks were bright red as he looked down at his thighs. I could've sworn his face held... guilt? Why would he be guilty? I bit my lip and mumbled "Nothing.." Chris and PJ laughed and rolled their eyes "Suuuure" they said and Chris yet again went back to being a flirty little shit to PJ.

Dan bit his lip, I could see a frown appear on his face. His eyes seemed to turn to a dark dull brown as they became glossy. "I-I wanna go home..." he mumbled out quietly. I heard him. I didn't want him to suffer so I stood up "Hey guys Dan isn't feeling too well so I'm gonna take him home, text me if you two aren't too busy with each other" I said with a wink, their faces turning bright red. Dan looked up at me with wide eyes as I smiled softly "Lets go" He nodded quickly and stood up, grabbing his bag and following me as I led him to my car.

Once we got in, I started to drive home. "W-why'd you do that? W-wouldn't you have rather stayed and talked with them?" I smiled and shook my head "I couldn't let you cry in public, Dan... The school wouldn't ever let you live that down..." A smile tugged on his lips "T-thanks.." I nodded "And besides, I think Chris needed just a few more minutes of flirting and they would have been kissing for sure... if I'm there it wouldn't happen" Dan's lips turned to an 'ooh' shape. I laughed slightly and mumbled "Adorable" as I drove, glancing over at Dan, seeing him focusing on watching out the window. He looked so broken yet at peace. I had a feeling the peace he had wasn't going to last long.
