Dan's POV

"Danny?" Oh my god.
"Philly?" I turned around to see Phil. The one that I tried so hard to forget. He nods and we hug. Tears were streaming down our faces like a river.
"Dan! Y-you're back!" Phil says, pulling back from the hug. Let's rewind a bit, yeah?

I head to where Mr. Peters cafe should be to see it was in its rightful place. I decide to go to the shopping center before I eat at the nostalgic cafe. As I walk by I see a smoker getting high and making me choke. "Beat it, kid. And quit smoking. It doesn't help anyone." The kid nodded as though I was gonna call the police and ran away. I pass by the cafe and head to the shopping center just to browse. A shop ends up catching my eye, in between a ring store and a video game store, is Phil's Doodads, Movies, Games & More!. I walk inside the store to realize this store wasn't who I thought it was.
"Heya, I'm Phil Danalds!" A man greeted me. I waved back and smiled, bought a doodad or two and left. Finally, I walked into the cafe. I get seated and order my food.

Phil's POV

I stare at the back of this person's head. Strangely familiar... No. "Danny?"
"Philly?" Dan replied, we hugged my face stained with tears.

Dan's POV

"Y-yeah, I'm back Phil... I-I'm here." I assured, patting his back.
"I-I..." Phil choked, hugging me tighter. He buried his face in my shoulder, slightly staining my shirt. "I AM SO SORRY DAN!" Phil finally sobbed. His voice was hoarse and he was having trouble breathing with all of the tears. I didn't quite notice before but my own face was staining with tears. The salty taste dripped into my mouth as I looked straight into Phil's blue eyes.

"N-no, Phil." I said with a slight smile. His innocent blue eyes gazed up at me. "That was my fault. I'm sorry." Phil kept his gazed locked with mine but finally shoved his face into my chest.

"Dan." Phil began suddenly with a shocking serious voice. "Are you happy, now?" I looked down at Phil. My hands were on either side of his face. I looked at my engagement ring... 

F this... 

"I thought I was..." I trailed, "Hey Phil?" I caught his attention, "I- I think I still love you..." It was a shock that my thoughts came out of my mouth. I missed him so much, and I realized the words were probably true. No matter how early it seemed... I mean, I've known him for so long and I'm sure I never stopped loving and missing him.

Phil's POV:

Love? I- He... He doesn't know. "Thank you, Dan." I sputtered. Dan looked at me shocked. I knew that my words had hurt him. But if I changed them, they would hurt him later. "I've got to go, but..." I snatched his phone from him and quickly typed in my number. "I'll see you later, kay?" Dan nodded, obviously still in shock. I grimaced at the sight and held his hands in mine. Dan bent down and softly kissed my knuckles, causing me to flush a bright red. Color flooded to my normally pale face. Dan smirked slightly at this and I left.

-------------------------

"You know you can't, Phillip." George growled. I looked at him desperately.

"Please, George! I've never broken a rule before, at all! Just give me this..." I begged. George looked at me. He scowled and itched his gruffy beard.

"I'll talk to Vidalia and Rose about it..." He finally muttered. I gave him a huge hug, a kiss on the cheek, and skipped out of the dark building.

Dan's POV:

I opened the door and saw, to my disappointment, my great fiancee, Danielle. "Why were you out?" She growled. I rolled my eyes.

"To eat." I reminded her with irritation trimming my voice.

"Is that attitude I hear? It better not be!" She warned as she placed another chocolate in her mouth. She put her hand on mine and then I smacked it away.

"We're partners, you can't tell me what to do, or scold me in that sense! I would say you're not my mom, but I wouldn't compare her to you!" I snarled. Danielle stared at me in shock.

"Ugh!" She spat. "Honestly, why am I marrying you?" She retorted, facing the T.V once more.

"I could ask the same thing..." I muttered under my breath. She whipped around to face me, her blonde hair in a high ponytail, tied  with a pink hair tie.

"Excuse me?!" She gasped. I was just about to take it back and beg for her forgiveness. I didn't want her to be too mad at me... But then...

"You heard me b*tch." I barked back, "Weddings off." I dismissed, "Now get out of my house." Danielle stared at me. Shock and anger brimmed within her.

"You'll be sorry, Daniel. No one will look at you the same, your now the man who broke up with Danielle Thompson." She remarked grabbing her bag.

"And your now the Thompson that was dumped by the heir to Howell's Tech." I replied with a smirk. Danielle glared at me, bared her shiny white teeth and slammed the door shut. "Well, at least she can shut something:" I said to myself.

I whipped out my phone and clicked on Phil's number. It read; Philly, and a bunch of heart emojis. I chuckled to myself and sent a message.

Phil's POV:

I held my phone close to my chest and sighed. One day maybe I could talk to Dan, openly, with no secrets. We'd be lying in our bed, in our house, with our dog. We'd be listening to our song, or watching our movie/anime, or just talking about our past. It would all be ours.

Dan's POV:

I blushed. Breaking up with Danielle was the best decision I made. And leaving Phil was the worst one. I remembered that time when we were younger, I got Phil flowers when he went to the hospital. And another time when Phil bought me colored pencils. That started my art craze. Oh, even back when I stayed 3 steps behind Phil at all times...

Philly: I love you too

I smiled. This guy would be the death of me...
