Phil P.O.V

"Phil?" Dan said as I was scrolling through Instagram. I looked up and met his eyes. "I love you." He said. My eyes got wide. I felt my heartbeat quicken. "I love you, Philip Michael Lester." He said again. I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. He chuckeled lightly and took out his phone.

"Stop." I said suddenly. "Stop messing with my feelings, please." I said. He looked at me with a confused look. "What do you mean?" I felt my eyes start to water.
"I love you, Dan. For real."

He laughed. "And I'm George Clooney. You don't need to lie to spare my feelings."

"I'M NOT LYING!" I angrily yelled. His expression changed. "What?" He asked, his eyes wide. "Phil, you're ki-"

"I am not kidding, Dan. Jesus fucking Christ, Daniel! How many times do I have to say I love you for you to get it?" I spurted.
"I'm sorry, Phil. I wouldn't have said it if I had known...please forgive me."

I laughed. "Of course you wouldn't have." I said, standing up. I walked towards the entrance. I realized that most of the restaurant was staring. I heard shuffling behind me, followed by "Phil, wait!" as I opened the doors to exit.
A couple of seconds later, I heard footsteps behind me. They stopped, and then quickened. "Phil!" Dan yelled.

I turned around quickly. "What?" I asked, feeling a wave of sadness rush over me. He looked at me, a sad and desperate look in his eyes.

"I wasn't joking either."

This was just a quick little , not filler but I guess bridge into the next couple of chapters - which will definitely be suspenseful and heart wrenching. (:
