Guess who's back, back again. ITS ME, HELLO!
Influenced by Ed Sheeran's "All Of These Stars"
"Cause baby you look happier you do, my friends told me one day I'll feel it too"
Phil's POV
I woke up in my warm bed with my covers over me; Skye must have brought me home... I think, I can't remember anything all I remember is seeing Dan and having a panic attack. I look down at my alarm clock next to me; 5:13am.
"Well I'm up now so might as well just stay awake" I say to myself throwing the covers off me looking down to see my tear stained shirt from the night before, memories shoot through my mind: images of Dan begging me to stop, people staring at me as I scream, the last thing I remember is collapsing of exhaustion. "Boy was that a night" I continue, slipping into my slippers and throwing a coat over me.
I slowly make my way down stairs being as quiet as I can, trying not to wake Skye, (If she is asleep that is) to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. The apartment was filled with the chilly winter's air sending shivers down my spine. I make my coffee before heading back upstairs; I walk past the door leading to the balcony looking out onto the deserted London streets. I open the door and let the much chiller air hit my in the face, I grip tighter onto my coffee feeling the warmth of the coffee cup flood through my body as I make my way outside.
I let my hand find the cold metal of the railing, I watch the London streets as the rare car drove past, I like London like this: No loud traffic, no people, just peace and quiet. My attention slowly makes it way up to the sky, it was clear tonight leaving the view of the beautiful Milky Way for me to admire and watch as the stars twinkled and shone against the dark sky.
"What are you doing up this early?" I hear a voice call from behind me.
I quickly turn around to see Skye rugged up in her fluffy blanket with her glasses slightly crocked on her nose, I smile "I could say the same to you" I say as she stood next to me "Did you even sleep?"
"What do you think?" Skye chuckled bumping my shoulder.
"I take that as a no" Taking a sip of my coffee.
We stood in silence for a little while, enjoying the rare view of the stars.
"They're pretty aren't they?" Skye asks still looking at the sky before looking back at me smiling "I've always loved the stars just because how pretty they are, shinning in the night sky, just balls of gas burning but still manage to be so beautiful" She explains fondly, her eyes shinning with passion for the galaxy. "Do you have a favourite star?" She asks innocently.
I look up at the sky scanning the stars to see if I did have a favourite star, just as my eyes passed the dullest star I suddenly remember something, something that I didn't want to remember. Tears threatened to come and I tried my hardest to hold them back, jeez why do I cry so much?
"Phil? Are you okay?" Skye asks looking at me filled with worry as she notices a single tear escapes my eye "Why are you crying? I am so sorry did I say something wrong?" She panics.
"No... you didn't do anything wrong" I say, watching as Skye's panic slowly fades away but the worry stays put "I remembered- My favourite star is that one" I say pointing at the dull star, she looked back at me waiting for an explanation "It was when Dan and I first met"
I walk into the local café, phone and notepad in hand, desperate to get out of the cold air and into the nice heated café. I need to get some work done but my heater has broken so it was only sensible to go get a coffee whilst also enjoying the warmth of the café.
I walk in, greeted with a jingle of the bell on top of the door followed by the sweet smell of pastries and coffee, my favourite place on earth. I find my favourite spot in the café; a soft retro lounge placed the corner of the store next to a window over looking a beautiful nature walk. I place my things down on the table in front of the lounge. I locate my pen and start writing not planning to order just yet but as I place my pen on my page I am greeted by a tall smiling brunette in the café uniform.
"Hi, what can I get such a handsome man this morning" He asks without any hesitation.
"I-Um, I don't think that was very professional of you" I smile looking up at the employee but he doesn't seem bothered at all.
"Probably but I can't lie to a customer can I?" He replies, with a smirk looking proud of himself.
"A chocolate latte please and Phil" I say watching him write down my order before walking away back to his station.
I try to get back to what I am doing but I am constantly finding myself looking back at this boy... why am I so interested in him?
"Order for Sir Phil" He says returning with my drink.
"Just Phil but thanks" I laugh, watching as a small smile grows on him as well but before I could see it fully he left.

I took the last sip of my drink as I wrote the last sentence for my work. I lift up the cup for the napkin that was underneath but I realise there was something written on it:
Dan: 1111 111 111 (Phone Number) Here 7pm.
I look up to meet eyes with Dan across the room, he smiles then winks at me before returning to his work. I guess what he said about me being handsome wasn't a joke.
***
7pm.
I followed my steps from earlier this morning back to the café where I saw Dan leaning up against the café walls looking up at the night sky. He looked peaceful, happy to be here. I slowly walk up until I'm standing next to him.
"Beautiful aren't they?" He asks still keeping his eyes glued to the sky.
"Yeah I guess so, I never really have time to look up at the sky" I admit. His eyes suddenly met mine.
"Really?! Wow, you are missing out" Dan laughs, grabbing my hand and leading me into the nature walk." Let's make up for lost time then."
Shortly after we arrive in a clearing, benches creating a boarder but Dan lead me into the middle lying down and pulling me down with him. The grass was cold with frost marking the tips of each blade but it felt nice, calming.
"You can see the stars clearly from here, I come here often" He smiles at me before returning his attention to the sky. "That one is my favourite" He says grabbing my hand to point at a very faint star.
"But it's so dull" I ask, confused.
"Exactly" Dan exclaims voices quickly fills with excitement and enthusiasm "Considering its so dull it doesn't get noticed much but its still like the others, just a big ball of burning gas in space, and in my opinion its one of the prettiest because of it being slightly different, almost like me" He continues, his brown hazel eyes reflecting the sky making it seem like the whole galaxy is situated inside of his eyes...
"And that was the moment that I knew I wanted him in my life"
