You Could Save Me (Phan)

Chapter 3

(Phil's POV)

It got worse as time went on. Josh abused me almost every time we met up. I want to hate him. I want to be able to say goodbye and never look back. But I know I can't. First of all I'm too much of a coward. I would never have the nerve to leave. And second of all I know that deep down, I still love him. And and that small part deep down in me won't let me leave him.

The time we spend together always starts out great, going to the cinema, or the park, or out for dinner. I'm sure to outsiders, it looks like a happy, healthy relationship. Oh how wrong they are. Usually it's when we get back to his (he always forces me to go) is when it starts. He'll take out the vodka, drink a bit, and then a lot, and then he'll get angry, and, well take it out on me. I've never tried fighting back, I know it's no use, he's stronger. I just take it until eventually he passes out and I make my way back to me and Dan's flat.

Dan is usually asleep, I've told him before that there is no point waiting up for me, although some nights he still does, which is nice if him. I think he might suspect something but I can't tell him, I'm afraid of what might happen if I do.

(Dan's POV)

There's something going on that Phil isn't telling me about, I know it. I see the sadness in Phil's eyes and it breaks my heart. Whenever I ask what's wrong, I always get the same answer.

"Oh nothing, just a bit tired"

I want Phil out of that relationship as soon as possible, I don't know what's going on, but I do know that it's slowly ruining Phil. And if Phil is ruined, I'm ruined.
