True Love Knows No Boundaries

It Only Gets Better

~Phil's POV~

I knew Dan didn't want me to purposely throw myself into danger for him but let's be honest that's exactly what I was going to do. See the thing is when Dan and I first started dating I downloaded one of those "find my phone" apps onto his phone and linked it with mine so I could keep track of him. And I know that sounds super creepy and like I didn't trust him, but on the contrast, I did trust him, I was just over cautious I guess you could call it. I opened up the app and it quickly started searching the coordinates for Dan's phone.  My heart skipped a beat when it the screen loaded up Dan's location, I found him. Now, I thought Dan was going to be held up in some secret and far off location, but nope, he was apparently at his house. Which made little to no sense to me but I'm not going to argue with anyone at this point. I decided that taking the main road down to Dan's wasn't my best option so I chose to cautiously make my way down the back alley. Weirdly enough, I ended up going down the back alley like a spy in one of those old action movies, my back pressed against the fences as I walked awkwardly sideways towards what I knew to be Dan's backyard. I slowly peeked my head above the top of the fence, looking for anyone who could kill me. Once I decided no one was around, I made the horrible decision to attempt to jump over the fence, now I'm not very fit so, I didn't make it over the fence, no, I hit the fence and fell flat on my back. Yeah, it was hilarious as it sounds.  

Eventually, I did make it over the fence, yeah I know it's a fucking miracle. Anyway, being weird, and the horribly unfit person I am, I made the choice to summersault across the yard in an attempt to be "sneaky". Nope, I was not sneaky. I'm actually quite surprised I wasn't caught then and there but hey I'm not complaining. I decided that due to the fact that Dan's upper level of the house was all made of drywall that they wouldn't keep him there and risk him screaming so loud the neighbors hear. Slowly and cautiously, I made my way to the basement window that was surrounded by weeds and other dead plants, swiftly pushing them aside to see a cemented room and someone tied up in the corner of the area. Dan. It had to be Dan. 

I attempted to push the window to see if it would budge but, no such luck. Quickly, I looked around for something heavy to break it with, which in hindsight was probably not the smartest idea, however, it was the only idea I had at the time. Without hesitating I grabbed the first rock in sight and threw it at the window, shattering it almost immediately. I wasted no time as I crawled through the window, and fell because I obviously didn't see the drop from the windowsill to the floor. "Ow~!" I groaned, suddenly I heard a small laugh behind me. I picked my head up to see who it was, causing my heart to flutter with a million butterflies. "Dan!" I slightly yelled but it was also a very soft yell and a whisper mixed. Quickly, I picked myself up and practically sprinted to his side, my hands immediately cupping his cheeks allowing me to look into his eyes. "Are you hurt?! What'd they do to you?!" 

He smiled and kissed my hand as tears welled in his eyes, "I'm fine Phil I promise." I knew he was lying, you could see it through his eyes and his expressions. "I thought I told you not to come to find me!? By the way, how did you find me?"  

I found myself blushing and giggling, "I have a tracking app on your phone." 

"Wha- Phil!? Actually?! What the fuck!?" He seemed shocked at first but then he smiled and laughed, "You're a twat you know that right?" I smiled and nodded. 

"Hurry we have to get you out of here!" He nodded and lifted his hands so I could get them out of the shackles. It took me some time but just as I had the first shackle undone the door flew open. "Shit!" Dan's voice was laced with fear and dripping in terror. 

"Well, well, well. Boys! Seems little Lester decided to join us instead of making us hunt him down! What a treat!"  Within seconds I was thrown across the room, my head colliding with the cement wall. Dan was screaming and cursing at his 'dad' only to get several fists to his gut by the other masked men. It took me a moment but I finally forced myself to my feet, "Want more eh Lester? Alright then!" And with that his fist collided with my nose, a crack echoed within my skull. Once again I found myself on the cement floor, Richard hovered overtop of me, "You must have a death wish ki-" he hadn't even finished his sentence when I spit in his face. The flames of anger consumed his eyes as utter horror rushed over me. "Tom. Scott. I want you two to take little Phil here to the other room, and... Have some fun with him" His eyes stayed locked on me, "Oh, and don't be too gentle with him." 

My eyes immediately darted to meet Dan's, the terror in his eyes was enough to tell me everything. "YOU BASTARD LEAVE HIM ALONE! I'LL KILL YOU!" Dan was screaming as the tears flowed down his cheeks, the third man roughly punching him in the gut causing him to gasp for air. Before I could react I was being dragged out of the room, screaming Dan's name.
