"Phil?" Dan asked quietly, walking over to him. Dan hadn't entered school since PJ killed himself, people were staring at Dan.
"How're you holding up?" Phil looked worried and held Dans' arm slightly.
"I-I want to talk about him" Dan whispered
"Of course, yeah- Just- Okay" Phil nodded, before waving some people goodbye and walking with Dan.<><>
"D-did you know? That he was going to-"
"Nobody knew it was going to happen, Dan. I know you just want answers, but I don't think I have any you don't already have." Phil sighed, looking at Dan's eyes. He naturally read them.Worry but also Guilt
"You're lying" Dan replied. "I know you're lying"
"Dan- I have nothing I can tell you" Phil sighed.
"Bullshit," Dan mumbled "I can tell you're lying"
"How's that?" Phil looked intrigued.
"No- Not important" Dan stiffened at the question. Nobody knew about his dumb 'power' aside from PJ, and his parents, but Dan didn't give a fuck about them.
"How're you doing, though?" Phil held Dan's arm, again.
"I- I'm surviving" Dan felt tingles go through his entire body when Phil touched him, it was electric.
"How's your family?"
"The same- bullshit homophobes" Dan sniffled. "Or at least- Mum is a bullshit homophobe. She's a bullshit mum, too" Dan wiped his eyes.<><>
Dan's family were a mess. His mother was an alcoholic and abused his dad. His dad took it all, while also protecting Dan. Dan's mother couldn't care less about Dan. Aside from everything he did wrong.
"How dare you be a fucking gay-" She screamed at Dan, smacking him across the face.
"I can't believe I raised a faggot" She slapped him again
"He's bisexual-" His father chimed in
"He still likes dick" His mother turned to face his father. "He's got a fucking boyfriend." She hit his father, loudly. "If you weren't a" another smack "Fucking wuss" another smack "Then he'd be straight!" Another smack.
"STOP HITTING HIM" Dan sobbed out "IT'S MY FAULT NOT HIS"
Dan cringed, running his hand over his cheek. He had come out one year ago. His mother still belittled his sexuality at every chance she got. She praised his self-harming, however.
"You cut?!" She screamed, ripping his sleeve down, exposing the jagged white lines across his wrists. He was 14 at the time.
Dan cried and nodded
"You fucking deserve the pain" She spat, smacking him
Dan nodded, furiously. He did deserve the pain.
He had a younger brother, probably. He didn't live with Dan, he lived with his real dad. His mum 'got around' a lot since she got bored of just sleeping with Dan's dad. He also had a little sister, Molly. She lived with them until last year, she was 5.
"You- Can't fucking hurt my daughter anymore" The man grabbed Molly and her suitcase. "Do not ever contact us again."
"Dan-" Molly cried out.
"I will see you soon, lovely" He held her hand and kissed her forehead.
Molly's dad gave him a card "If you ever want to talk to her again, feel free to call, Daniel" He smiled.
Dan still hadn't called, he wanted Molly to forget about the first five years of her life
Overall, Dan's entire family was a domestic mess.<><>
"Dan" Phil looked up at him again, but he didn't risk reading his eyes.
"Wh-what" Dan was still sniffling
"I want to help you" Phil brushed his hand near Dans, he couldn't deny the electric feeling this time.
"How?"
"I want to try to make you happy, continue what PJ started. We can't let his efforts go to waste" Phil smiled. His smile was so genuine and warm.
"O-oh, okay. For PJ" Dan shrugged "For PJ-" He was nodding now.And that was who Dan was doing it for.
PJ,He wasn't doing it because of Phil
No-It was for PJ,
Wasn't it?
