Save Me ; Phan ~ completed

chapter 22

||Dan's POV|| -Tuesday, Emergency Room-

I wake up to a hospital room and bandaged up arms. Great fucking job Dan. I think to myself, quite upset that I'm back at the damn ER over this. My head is killing me, but when isn't it?

"God damn it." I curse under my breath, looking around the room. I look to my right and see Phil sitting there. "Why?" I ask softly, not ever wanting to be back in a hospital.

"You needed stitches."

"Lovely." I sigh loudly, quite upset about this. "Now they're gonna try and send me to some place to 'get help' and I'm going to have to come up with some damn excuse. I just.. hate it."

"Maybe don't do this next time and we won't have a need for you to get help." The doctor says standing in the entrance.

"Oh." I say, smiling sweetly. "Hi, didn't see you there."

"Yeah, I figured." He smiles. "Now, I see you aren't medically seeking any help, so I'm not going to force it on you. I'm just saying it's always an option-"

"An option that's not going to happen for me wether I want it or not."

"Thats alright. I'm not here to pressure you into anything. I just need to make sure you aren't going to do it again."

"Okay. I'll try." I say, knowing this won't be the last time I cut.

"And if you feel like you need to, talk to someone instead okay?"

"Yeah." I say, just trying to get out of here.

"You two can go after you sign a few things." He says walking out of the room and in a few minutes I'm sitting in Phil's car. I'm looking down at my hands but his eyes are on me.

"I'm sorry." I mumble, looking up and expecting him to be mad at me. Instead his eyes are glossy and he looks more upset for me. He lunges forwards and hugs me tightly.

"It's not your fault. It's okay. But Angel please, promise me you really will try."

"I.. Will." I say slowly, realizing that he's been calling me Angel a lot. How the hell am I an angel?

"Promise?"

"Promise." I say, agreeing to at least try. I want to stop too, its just hard when the rest of the world is against me. Or at least that's what it feels like.

"Okay." He kisses my cheek, moving back over to the driver's seat. "Where to?"

"What time is it?" I ask, knowing it was about 10:30 when I last checked, which was at school.

"One-ish." He answers, pulling out of the parking lot.

"I'm guessing we aren't going back to school then."

"Probably not the best idea."

"Well shit, I hardly go to school anyways, might as well drop out." I say, half jokingly. I mean I've had nothing but half days for the past 3 school days.

"Yeah, right? I'm surprised my mom hasn't noticed."

"Luckily, the school knows not to get into things I'm involved in.. For the most part." I say, looking out the window. "We could just go to your house, if you don't mind.."

"Sure, I'm not up for anything else." He says and soon enough we're back in his room, watching some anime.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Phil's brother asks leaning in the doorway.

"Is there a problem?" I say, not too shy around Phil's family after spending pretty much the past week at their house.

"No I'm just wondering when you're moving in."

"You're a little slow on the updates, I've already moved in." I joke back, laughing.

"Took ya long enough." he chuckles, rolling his eyes. "For real though, aren't your parents at least a little worried about where you are?"

"Maybe. Probably not though. Worried wouldn't be the word I would use."

"Yeah.. Okay.." He turns around and walks out, leaving me and Phil to exchange puzzled looks.

"He's quite intrusive." I comment, giggling a little.

"You could say that." He smiles, and I get the urge to pull him in and kiss him with all I've got.

"Maybe he's got good reason to worry." I say, my voice lower as I lean in closer to him.

"Oh really?" He whispers as our lips are so close to touching. My heart is speeding, and I take the chance to put a hand on the back of his neck, pulling him in and kissing him. Before I know it he's on top of me, and his lips are on mine.

"Well I am the school's freak show. You're a good kid." I mumble as I pull away just enough to get the words out.

"Not with the reputation you've given me love." He counters, locking our lips again.

"Well, your family has quite the reason to be a bit concerned. You went from goodie two shoes to, I beat bullies up for my boyfriend." I manage to mumble in between kisses. I freeze at the fact that I've said boyfriend, only because well, we haven't labeled anything yet. And I did just that. I pull away and blush, looking down at his chest.

"Oh so you're my boyfriend then?" He asks suggestively, using a free hand to pull up my chin. He couldn't just drop it could he?

"Well I mean.. Not if you don't wanna, I just thought cause-" I say quickly being cut off by his lips on mine and I can't help but give in. God his lips are intoxicating.. I almost forget what I'd just said.

"It's alright Angel. We're whatever you want us to be. Kay?" He says sweetly, making my heart melt a little. How the hell did I get so lucky? Why does he care?

"Kay." I reply, my heart skipping a beat as he pulls me closer and kisses me again.

~~980 words~~

Ik these past few haven't been the best writing I've ever done but more are to come!

Thanks for all the love on this book! I'm really loving writing it too!

I'm gonna try to stick with the daily updates until school starts, which for me is August 21st. ew. but because of all that the updates might slow, or speed up depending on my procrastination level.

Also I will probably not be updating from August 31st till September 6th due to a family vacation :P

(This applies to all my other books as well for those of you who were wondering)
