Save Me ; Phan ~ completed

chapter 48

A/N-  here's a longer chapter because I'm on vacation and that's a reason to celebrate. Also I might not post tomorrow so you get a long one today. 

||Dan's POV||

I panic, grabbing the box my mother gave me and a single bag of clothes. I hesitate when I reach the door, freezing and turning around. I take a good look at the house that I grew up in. A house filled with memories, good and definitely as ones. I look down to the ground, at what's left of my family.

Who am I kidding, it's just me. It always really was. But, I can't help but remember when I was younger, and my father wasn't a monster.

I can't seem to peel my eyes from the disturbing scene, frozen in shock. Phil's car pulls up and he gets out, swinging the door open.

"Angel!" He sighs in relief, spinning me around and hugging me as tight as he can.

"God.." I sob, crumbling in his arms. "They're dead Phil."

"Oh baby.. I'm so sorry." He mumbles, not having looked up at what happened yet.

"Why?" I whimper, shaking so hard it's difficult to stand.

"Okay, it's alright angel. Take a deep breath." He instructs, pulling away but grabbing my hands. "We've gotta get out of here baby." He says, eyes widening as he looks behind me. His eyes flicker from them to me, tears building up in his blue eyes.  "How did this happen?"

"I don't know, really." I mumble, near breaking down in sobs again. "I-I didn't think this would happen."

"Baby, you're bleeding, what happened?" He says, grabbing my hands and looking at my wrists.

"M-My dad." I stutter, looking down at the large cuts on my wrists, blood pouring from them.

"Dan.." he shakes his head, wiping his eyes and trying not to cry anymore. "Oh angel.." His eyes scan over me a few times before he meets my eyes. "How did this happen baby?"

"I.. I'm still processing this. I can't really complete a real sentence." I manage to say in between having an actual break down.

"Okay.. What do you want to do?" He asks softly, not sure where to go from here. "We can't possibly stay here."

"Well, then let's get out of here. I can't stand it anymore."

"Hey, everything will be okay." He assures me, kissing my forehead and leading me out to his car.

We get into the car and I curl up in the passengers seat. He stays quiet and gives me space, but I can practically feel his mind racing.

The silent car makes me think. Something I really don't need to do right now with the way my mind works. I watch the only town I've ever known zip by. We pass that damned little park and I break down sobbing.

"W-What am I gonna d-do?" I choke out after a bit, a flood of memories swarming my head. "I didn't mean to do it." I shake my head, panic rising as my mind catches up to everything. "I- He just.. I- Fuck. I don't know what to do. Please help me." I sob, going absolutely out of my mind. "I was just so fucking scared and he was yelling at me. He was hurting me and I knew he killed my mom and he had a knife and I just.. God why?" I say quickly, still in complete shock and crying hysterically.
