The Doctor's Son

Chapter 18 (flashback)

Dan's POV:

My lungs were burning and my lip wouldn't stop bleeding,not too mention I felt like I was going to collapse. I seriously thought the bullying would end in fucking high school but no,freshman year of college and it's still happening. "Oh Howell."I heard Tristan's taunting voice around the corner. I hid in the trash can,praying he wouldn't find me.

Then the lid opened up and there Tristan was looking down at me with a sinister grin. "There you are Howell,"He said as he yanked me out of the trash can by my shirt"We weren't done with our little game of beat the shit out Of the pussy ass emo fag."

"I was kinda hoping we were,"I mumbled under my breathe

"Oh Howell this game has been going on since primary school you really think it'd stop now."He said as he rammed his fist into my stomach.

I grunted as I felt like I was gonna throw up my guts in that moment,my hair hung over my swollen eyes.

"Come on Howell stop being such a w-"he started

"Oi! What do you think your doing fresh meat!"I heard a deep voice from behind interrupt him

"None of your business Lester!"He shouted at the guy

"Really? Hm well how about I mess you up then will you put him down?"He said as he cracked his knuckles

"Oooo I'm Phil Lester I'm from the north and I'm gonna mess you up."Tristian said in a Northern accent.

I saw Phil move fast toward Tristan and lifted him by his tie causing him to drop me "Do you seriously want to try me Smith?!"Phil said bitterly with a fist raised to Tristan's face

"You don't scare me Lester I've seen through your act, your nothin' but a goodie goodie that wouldn't hurt a fly."Tristian scoffed in a snarky tone

Phil cleared his throat "Dan right? Start walking I'll catch up to you in a minute."He said sweetly as he looked at me with his kind eyes

I nodded before I trudged around the corner. Who ever he was,he was seriously my hero from stoping another moment of almost dying.

Phil's POV:

"Phil your not really gonna hurt me are you?"He said with a nervous laugh

I laughed "You really think what you've done to that boy his whole life is gonna go unpaid for?"I said as I hoisted him up higher

"I'm sorry,I'm sorry I'll never hurt him again I promise!"He cried as his feet dangled

"I hope you won't after this."I said as I put him down

"Wait what are you doing?"He said as he wiped his face

"Now I'm going to bully you Tristan."I said as I cleared my throat"Tristan all of your life you have been nothing but a low life bastard with calling that boy a faggot. Maybe that's just how he is,But being a homophobic asshole is way worse then falling in love with boys. You never left him alone have you? Day after day you'd call him names and beat him to a pulp,but why? Maybe cause pain at home I assume. So you decide to find this happy boy and make his life a living hell?!"I shouted

"What does this have to do with bullying?"He said.

Finally I was just done with his stupidity in that one sentence and I hoisted him up,punched him in the face causing his nose to bleed and threw him to the ground "It's called verbal abuse you idiot!"I spat as I walked away.

"Your about to feel something worse then fucking verbal abuse Lester!"He shouted as he swung at me with the one hand that was not cupping his nose

"Now that you've been out witted that's all you have is you fists,Huh?"I retorted in a snarky tone

"Your seriously pathetic Lester,you're to chicken to fight back!"He shouted as I walked away

"It's not called being pathetic,Its called being smart Mr.Smith! You should try sometime."I called from the end of the ally.

"You fucking bastard!"He yelled as he ran towards me full force

When Dan ran from around the corner and punched him in the gut so hard that he tumbled to the ground "That's what you get for all those years you son of a bitch!"He shouted as he towered over him and spit on him.

For someone so posh he had quite the mouth of someone from the north.

Tristan started coughing "Trust me Howell you haven't seen the last of me."He spat before he passed out.

"Okay bye Tristan hope you get expelled some time."I said as I walked out of the ally with Dan on my shoulder.

It was silent for a while till we got to the bus stop. "Thank you for saving me,"Dan finally said

"It was no problem he's been bullying you all your life, he deserved to be put in his place and nice job hitting him in the gut by the way ."I said proudly

"Ya if you would've gave him a life time of beatings just then he would have been dead."He mumbled "And I hit him out of fear."

"Dan,Um just a question did you almost die because of him?"

"A long time ago,yes. When I started high school he beat me so much that I almost died,I got a broken rib and a couple other bones broken."He said as he began to cry.

What a bastard! I can't believe he bullied this kid so much that he almost lost his life. In my opinion he deserved way more then just a broken nose and a bruised gut.

"Dan I promise that won't happen ever again."I said with as I rubbed his back

"Everything still hurts though and I mean not just my body I mean all those words and names he'd call me."He said with a sniffle "Wait you go to The University of York right?"He said in a cheerier tone as we got on to the bus

"Ya I'm a senior there,How'd you know I went to York?"

"Cause that's where Tristan goes and yet he still puts an effort to catch a bus to Manchester just to beat me up."

"You go to Manchester? What are you studying?"

"Boring ol' law,I thought it would be great because you know you'd look all smart but it's really boring."He said with a sigh

"I study English and it's alright, I guess. I've always dreamed of becoming a weather man, but I've been doing video making on the side."I said

"Video making? That kinda sounds fun. Wait a minute! I know where else I've seen you,I've seen your videos before."He said happily as the bus came to a stop

"You should try making videos sometime if you like mine."I said as I strolled behind him

"Maybe you can help me."He said with a huge grin

"Ya that'd be great and we could hang out some more."I replied

"I'd like that a lot,"He said with a smirk"Wait,you can stay over if you want it's really late and my room mates gone on holiday right now anyway."

"Alright then."I said as I walked in the school gates with him.

I could tell that this was just the beginning of a friendship,I could tell by the way we talked to each other and the fact that he was wearing a Muse t-shirt,so total bonus.

"Thank you again,My hero."He said with a kiss on the cheek

A/N:Sorry if this chapters kinda weird I just wanted to make a back story about Dan and Phil. I promise the next part is gonna go from where we left off in the part before this.
