Homophobic || Phan

Chapter Two

Dan
I walk home, listening to Thnks Fr Th Mmmrs. As I'm walking, I bump into a tall, black haired, blue eyed boy, about my age.

"I'm Phil." He said, his shiny white teeth sparkling in the rare northern sun.

"I'm Dan." I say, my chocolate brown eyes staring into his beautiful eyes.

"Here, I wrote my number on this." He says quickly, handing me a slip of paper.

I walked off, watching the boy smile.

Phil
That brown haired boy, Dan, sure was cute. But I don't think he would be into me. Because I don't think anybody else is gay at Northern Hills Catholic School.

I fumble with my keys to my house, when Martyn opens the door.

"Thanks Martyn." I say, retreating to my bedroom.

All the homework we have to do is read a certain bible verse and write about it.

Easy enough.

But of course the verse was about homosexuality.

I sighed, deciding I'd deal with it later. It's Friday, anyway.

I pick up my phone and see I have a new text message.

D: hey, it's dan just wanted to say hi
P: hi I hate this hw assignment.
D: the one about homosexualz?
P: yeah, ur in year 10 also?
D: yup, we must have different hours.
P: ye

I didn't tell him about my gayness. If he found out, I would be dead.

Then again, I did give him my number.

"Why am I so stupid!" I shout.

"Why are you shouting Phil!" Martyn called.

"Oh nothing." I reply back, going into the garage to get my bike.

I decided to go on a ride, and found myself at a park.

It was beautiful, with a pond and a small waterfall. It was almost closed off by trees, so it felt like a secret realm.

I didn't know how I never knew about this, other than it was beautiful.

I looked down at my phone, seeing I have a new message from Dan.

D: um, I'm kinda in trouble.. Where are you right now?
P: I'm at Hollow Tree Park, why are you in trouble?
D: I'll tell you when I get there, which will be soon.
P: k...

I'm on my phone when Dan arrives. His straight brown hair was messed up, he seemed to be limping a bit, and his arm had a bruise on it.

"D-dan? What happened to you?" I manage to get out.

"So the homework, right. I read the verse, and got mad so I threw my bible across the room. My mum saw it and yelled at me, asking if I would like to me thrown around like that. Then she started hitting me, and pulling my hair. She yelled curse words, and told me I was a mistake, and I'm just a stupid emo teen." He finished his story, and I got up and hugged him.

"How dare she! I'm so pissed." I yell, my voice echoing in the empty park.

"She's an alcoholic, and can't stop. Sge constetnely tells me I'm a mistake, and I can't take it anymore. I just wanna die." He blubbered.

I kept hugging him, then suddenly pulled away.

Oh no, I hugged a boy. God will never forgive me. I thought, shouting a bye and leaving on my bike.

When I get home, I run to my room and lock it.

My life is over! I'm no longer loved. The only people who are nice to me are Martyn and Dan.

D: why did you run off like that
P:I can't tell you
D: yes you can
P: fine, meet me at the park at 11:45 pm. Tonight.
D: okay...

I head dinner getting ready, so I come out (of the closet) of my room.

It's tacos, so I grab a plate and quickly ate.

I retreat to my room and decide to take a quick nap before I meet dan.

I set my alarm for 11, so I would have time to get ready.

I slowly drift off.

Dan
I don't know why Phil ran off like that.

But, I didn't have much time to dwell. I don't know where I should go, because my home is not very homely.

I don't have any friends besides Phil, but I don't know where he lives.

I guess that means I'm staying here until 11:45. Fun.

I decide to explore. It looks like a small little park, but if you go thru a tree path, it opens up to a bigger area with benches, and an even bigger fountain.

Phil

I awoke from my nap at eleven, and hopped out of bed, putting on a pair of skinny jeans and a Nintendo shirt.

I pull on my shoes, careful to not wake anybody. My backpack has some snacks, my phone and sweatshirt in it. I think I'm all set.

As I hop on my bike, I find my self humming Girls/Girls/Boys.

In a matter of minutes I'm there. Dan is sitting at the fountain.

"Guess who's back. Guess who's back." I sing, parking my bike.

"Phil, I need to know your secret. I won't judge you." He spoke calmly, and I sat down.

"Are you sure?" "Yes." "Okay, before I say anything, do you solemnly swear not to tell a living soul?" "I solemnly swear, honest to God, cross my heart I won't tell a living, breathing soul." He smiles, staring into my eyes.

"Okay. Here it goes." I pause, letting the intensity build up. "I'm gay." I finish, waiting for his reaction.

"I am to Phil." Dan says softly.

"I'm glad I got that off my chest." "Me too."

And with that, I was truly happy for the first time ever.

We say our goodbyes, and we go our seperate ways.

Hey guys! Sorry long time no update. But, comment what you want me to do next.

Peace- Raini
