Save Me ; Phan ~ completed

chapter 57

||Dan's POV||

For once, I woke up the next morning, happy. That's kind of funny seeing that I tried killing myself yesterday. But I guess that's alright. Because something about last night really changed how I saw things. 

Yeah, the past few days have been pretty shitty. I guess what I realized is, its not gonna do me any good to sit here and hate everything about my life. I've got Phil, and I guess thats reason enough to be happy. 

For the first time in a while, I can see past today. I can hope for the future. And maybe that's just because I don't plan on dying.

I roll over on the bed and wrap an arm around Phil, laying practically on top of him. "Mm.. Good morning." He mumbles tiredly, running his fingers along my skin.

"Morning." I whisper, leaning up and kissing his jaw with a smile. "What time is it?" I sigh, resting my head on his chest.

"Noon-ish?" He guesses, leaning over and grabbing his phone. "Yeah, its almost one."

"Hm.. It's weird not having to get up for school.. I strangely miss it."

"What are we doing for school?" He asks, looking up at the ceiling.

"I don't know, nothing? It's not like we should really bother."

"Well we can't really go to a school if we wanted to." He chuckles and I frown, getting caught up in thinking too much.

"Ugh, you're killing my mood." I groan, leaning up and pressing a kiss to his neck. "Can we just forget all this for now?"

"M'kay." He mutters, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer.

"I love you." I lean up and kiss him, unable to hide my smile.

"Love you too." He mutters. "You seem pretty happy this morning."

"I guess I am." I giggle, noticing my bubbly mood. "Cause things are better today, plus I've got you and that makes me happy."

"Awe you're cute, Angel." He smiles, kissing me again, making me blush.

"I'm not cute. But I'll let you think whatever you want."

"You're definitely adorable.. Like a cuddly teddy bear." He chuckles, kissing my cheek.

"I guess I'll take that as a compliment?"

"You should." He mumbles, making me roll my eyes. I sit up, looking down at him with a goofy smile. "Enjoying the view huh Howell?" He teases and I shrink down, blushing.

"Maybe I am." I giggle, leaning over him and pressing a kiss to his lips. I pull away, looking up at him and seeing something flicker above his head, making me jump.

"What's up Angel?" He mumbles curiously, holding me by the hips.

"I must be tripping or something." I shake my head, dismissing it.

"What happened?"

"I thought I saw something above your head.. I don't know." I frown, looking down at him. I notice his eyes widen a little and his heart beat pick up.

"Weird." He says shakily, and I frown worriedly, knowing he probably knows something.

"I swear I'm not psychotic, although people might say otherwise." I giggle, shaking my head.

"Maybe you are a little psycho.. But I don't mind it."

Later on in the day, I decided to go to a grocery store and pick up some stuff. Because at the moment, there's absolutely no food in that house, or much of anything else really. After a bit of back and forth I got Phil to let me go by myself. I just needed some time to clear my head. 

I walk through the store, for once, not afraid of that the future might hold. I'm okay. 

I think that might have just been the first time I've said it, and meant it. I'm okay. 

I get a few things and check out, looking above the cashiers head. That same flicker from before pops up. I grab the bags and walk out, back towards the house. "I'm going nuts." I whisper to myself as someone walks by with a glowing bar above their head.  I look in the reflection of a window and jump back as I see a green bar above my head. "What. The. Fuck." 

I pull my eyes from the window, walking faster. I stop as a crowd of people and police cars surround a car crash. There a woman stands, crying hysterically, with a bright blue bar. There's a little boy on a stretcher with a bright red bar, covered in blood. What the hell is happening to me? What does this even mean? 

I cross the street, almost to the house. A couple walks by with a newborn baby. The parents have green bars and the baby has a full purple bar. I smile and try not to act like I'm losing my fucking mind. I end up jogging the rest of the way home, not wanting to encounter any more people. 

I swing open the door and drop my bags, looking to Phil. His bar is a green-ish yellow. "Phil.." I mumble, rushing forwards and hugging him tightly. 

"What? Angel?" 

"I'm going crazy. There's these little bars above everyone's heads. They're a bunch of different colors and I saw this-"

"I see them too Angel." 

"What!?" I shout, my jaw dropping. Nope. This isn't happening. This is insane. "How?!"

"Well, the bar colors show how long you're gonna live. When someone with the power saves someone, the power is given to them. But in my case, I can't get rid of it. I don't know why."

"You.. Saved me?" I ask, looking at him, confused. 

"Yeah Angel.. I saved you."
