"Dan... I... I don't know what to say." Phil was starting to cry. 

I pulled Phil in to  hug, to Chris I said, "would it be okay if he stayed with me for a little bit? I'll drive him to your place later." Chris nodded and took Phil's stuff and drove off. "Come on Phil, let's go to my play, we can have a little fun." Phil smiled and hopped in the car.

"Mum! Dad! You home?" I called when we got home.

"Hey, honey! How was Phil's? Oh! Phil, you're here too! Hello, dear. What's the matter? Dan is he okay?"

"No, mum. Something happened. We told Phil's parents about him, about us, and they didn't take it so well... They kicked him out."

My mum's face dropped, "Oh God, Phil, is there anything we can do?"

Phil sniffled, "my brother said I can live with him."

"Well that's nice! If you need anything let us know!" My mum pulled Phil in for a hug.

"Why couldn't my parents be like you? What am I going to do? He lives 3 hours away! I can't go to school here anymore and I can't see Dan everyday!"

"Oh, sweetie, that's terrible. If you ever want to sleep here you can. On the couch, of course," she let out a small laugh.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Howell. But I could never do that to you. I'll be okay." 

"Mum, Phil and I are gonna go to my room and talk about everything." 

"Yes, okay, your father and I are gonna go out soon so have fun. Phil, again, I am so sorry. Seriously, we will try to help in anyway we can."

Phil and I went to my room and sat on the bed.

"Your mum is so amazing, she's so kind and thoughtful."

"She's right, you know?"

"About what?" Phil asked.

"You could stay here. Live with us, sure it would be awkward but at least we'd be together."

"I just can't do that, Dan. You have to see where I am coming from, really. You were right earlier, Tyler and Henry aren't really my friends, I've been kicked out of school and my house, so now I don't have anything, besides you, keeping me here."

"So you really wanna leave?"

"Do I really want to start over, is the question. And yes, I really do. I love you Dan, and we aren't breaking up, we will just not always be together," Phil said as he pulled me in for a kiss. "You think your parents are still home?"

I laughed, "no I don't think so, so I guess I should drive you to your brothers now?"

"Oh yes, exactly what I meant. Now shut up."

It was 5 hours later and Phil and I were talking outside of his brother's flat.

"Phil, I'm really going to miss you. What am I going to do without you?"

He ruffled my hair, "you're gonna be fine without me, you are friends with some of the most popular girls in school, you're cute, funny, nice, smart, and just perfect. I'm the one who is gonna have the issue, a jerk who only has two people he can truly trust, I'm not smart, I'm not nice, I'm so awful," he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Phil, don't you say those things! You are nice and sweet and you are smart, you are really bright you just acted like you never cared before! But when we did school work you really showed interest. And you are so beautiful like you are so fucking hot! I'm gonna miss seeing that gorgeous face of yours every single day. But hey don't worry I'll be back soon and we can FaceTime and text everyday. I love you Philip Lester."

"I love you too, Daniel Howell."

I got a text from my mum saying I should probably come home, "Phil, I need to go home. I'll come and see you next weekend. Okay?"

"Yes, okay." We stood up and kissed before we said goodbye.

In the next three weeks, Phil and I had only seen each other 6 times. My parents and Chris were pretty cool about me sleeping over at Chris's place. Even though it was hard to see Phil and I missed him like crazy, we seemed to make it work. Everything was fine until:

"Dan, we need to talk."

"Ok mum, make it quick but I need to go see Phil."

"That's what I wanted to talk about. You're spending way too much on gas and your grades are slipping. So you may not get to go and see Phil as often as you want."

"I ALREADY DON'T GET TO SEE PHIL AS OFTEN AS I WANT! You think seeing Phil twice a week is often? No it isn't! Mum what am I supposed to do without him?"

My mum sighed, "without him you can focus on your work, without him you can be happy and stop stressing. Maybe you two should break up."

"What? Mum I need to go and talk to Phil about this."

"Okay, Dan. Okay."

I drove to Phil's and we talked about what my mum said. 

"Dan, maybe she is right. I actually really like it here, I'm getting B's on most everything, I have friends that I can actually talk about things with, I'm so happy now. So my parents hate me, so I get to see my boyfriend less, so I living in a small ass flat. So what? My life is so great now."

"So you are okay with this? I can't believe what I am hearing!" I put my face in my hands. But I am also surprised at you because you haven't told me about your friends or how well you are doing in school. Maybe we aren't the way I thought we were." 

Phil put his arm around me, "yea, you'd like them. Can you believe I already came out to them? It was so easy, they didn't even care. In fact, one of the guys is gay and one of the girls is bi! And I am doing well in school! Like I have an A in science! You were right Dan, I am bright! It's because of you I am even good in science!"

"Oh," I said softly, "you really do seem to love it here. I guess there is not enough room in your new life for me as there once was." 

Phil took his arm off me and looked into my eyes, "you really think that? You think there isn't enough room for you anymore? I love you so much more now because I am so much happier with my life! But, again, if your mum thinks we should see less of each other, then maybe we should. But I will always love you, in fact I will love you more than anyone ever."

I stood up and Phil stood up after me, "well I think I'm going to go."

"You aren't gonna stay the weekend?" Phil looked at me sadly.

"My mum said my grades are slipping so I need to study and do homework."

"Oh okay." Phil was looking at the ground.

"I don't know when I'll be back, Phil."

"I know you don't, Dan. But I'll be here, I'll always be here waiting."

I laughed, "do you think this is going to be the end of us soon?"

Phil pulled me in for a hug, "oh Dan, haven't you figured it out yet? No matter happens, you and I will never truly be over."

I smiled, "yea, Phil, I'm starting to learn that."
