Just "Friends"

Merry Christmas!

I woke up to my parents calling me to go downstairs. I got up and ran downstairs. I jumped over the railing and slid over to the tree. My parents laughed. "There are so many presents!" My mum giggled "You are still such a kid!" I laughed and rolled my eyes "Its Christmas! I get presents!" I took a box that was wrapped and opened it. What is this? "Mum. What is this?" She just smiled widely "It is three tickets to go to America!" My eyes widened, I have never been to America before. I jumped up and hugged my parents. "We were thinking that maybe you, your mother, and Phil could go." My dad said. I looked at him confused "Why aren't you coming?" He just shook his head "I have work to do, and I have to take care of the house!" I nodded.

Once I was done the door rang. I got up and opened the door. I smiled widely when I saw my grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, and my three cousins. They all hugged me and came in. "You're getting so tall!" My aunt said while hugging me "Yeah. Its what I do!" She laughed and walked over to my mum. I ran to my room to grab my phone and I texted him. I ran back downstairs when my phone buzzed.

Dan: Hey Phil!

Phil: Hey Dan! Merry Christmas!

Dan: Merry Christmas! Do you think I could come over for a minute?"

I waited anxiously but he didn't answer. I walked over to my mum when he texted me.

Phil: Yeah! Come on over!

I tapped on my mums shoulder and she turned around "Can I go over to Phil's?" She sighed "You have family over." My aunt came in the conversation "Who is Phil?" I sighed "He is my friend. My only friend." I said looking at my mum. "I think he should go over!" I smiled "But it is family day." My mum said "He has a friend for once! I'm sure he means a lot to him! Think sis no one will know he is gone! No offense Dan." I shrugged "None taken." My mum sighed "Fine." I kissed her and my aunts cheek and ran out the door.

Phil's P.O.V.

I was talking with my family when the doorbell rang. I quickly jumped up from the table and answered the door. "Dan!" I hugged him and he laughed hugging me back. "Come in! Meet my family!" He stepped in and we walked over to the table. "This is my aunt, uncle, four cousins, and my grandma. Everyone this is my best friend Dan!"

Dans P.O.V.

They all said hello happily and I waved. Phil's mum got up and hugged me "Are you staying for dinner?" I shook my head "I just came to see Phil." I heard a kid "Awe! I want a best friend like that!" I just laughed a little. "I'm sure you will find one!" She just smiled. "So, what brings you into my lovely home?" I got out the tickets "What is this?" I smiled "Phil Lester, will you go to America with me?" He was shocked. I smiled widely "YES!" He hugged me and I laughed he lat go and jumped over to his mum. "Can I go????" She smiled and laughed "Yes." He hugged her. "When do we leave?" I looked at the tickets "In three days!" He smiled "Okay!" 

I walked out of the house and started to walk back home. As I was walking I saw a kid on the ground at the park crying. There was no one with him. There was no one. I walked over to him "Hello? Are you okay?" He sniffed and looked over at me. "I feel lost. I'm alone. I'm dead." I looked at him confused. Why is a child this young saying all of these things? "Where are your parents?" He just looked down "Good luck Dan. Good luck." I was really confused now. "How do you know my name?" He looked up and me and I fell back onto the ground. "Don't forget. Don't forget." I got up and ran as fast as I could to my house. Once I got into my house I ran to my mum. She looked at me confused "Honey, what's wrong?" Everyone was looking at me. I hate when I am on the spot. "Uh, I just got scared walking home." She touched my shoulder "Are you okay?" I nodded. She nodded and turned around talking to everyone. I sighed and sat at the table eating some of the food that my family made.

Phil's P.O.V.

I was in my room when my cousin came in. She is 16 years old. "Hey Senya." She smiled and sat on my bed "Hi. They were being loud down there so I came into your room." I nodded. We are good friends and we hang out a lot with each other because we are closer in age.

"So, your friend Dan is cute." Does she like him? I can't tell her that he is gay. "Do you like him?" She shook her head. "No. But I think he likes you." I laughed "And why do you think that?" She shrugged "I can just tell." I shook my head "Well he doesn't. We are just friends." She got up "If you say so. I threw a pillow at her and she laughed. "Okay fine. He doesn't like you. If you say he doesn't then I believe you. But I have a question for you." I nodded "What?" She looked into my eyes "Do you like him?" I looked at her  confused then my expression softened. "I...."
