WAY too young (Phil × reader)

Why Did I Cry?

"So....let me get this straight. You just turned 16, and YOUR ALREADY
MOVING OUT! like, ON YOU'RE OWN? I mean I can definitely see why but still."

Dan shakes his head in disbelief as you nod. Phil just stares at you with his mouth slightly open. You expected them to react this way so you try to stay calm and not freak out as well. Memories that you had been pushing out of your mind start to flood back into it. You can't believe your even telling them this. You'd shared everything with them. You'd told them about how your father had hurt you and left you here with your horrible, greedy mother. How your mother forced you to work to pay your portion of the bills at an unsightly age. How your mother had threatened you to make straight A+' or else. How she'd made you skip grades and take advances classes you weren't ready for. How you're mother had abused you. You'd shown them the scares that littered your entire body. Not from self harm, not from accidents, but from days when you'd brought home a B on an assignment, or didn't bring home your full paycheck. How you'd managed to stow away a piece of your paycheck every week. They know it all now. You've never told your life story to a single living soul. Now you'd just told it to practical strangers, but you feel more than a connection with these two. This feels like fate.

"Dan! How could you be so insensitive?" Phil gives Dan a deadly look and continues talking. "Have you even been listening to (your name)? Neither one of us have ever been through anything like even one of her/his experiences.

You are truly panicking now. You
begin to think of all that hasn't been taken care of yet. You have no idea how to rent a house. You know how to make money and give it to your mom, but how the fuck do you actually pay for bills? Thanks to your mom being lazy as hell, you know how to do taxes. How do you buy a phone plan of your own? Should you even stay here? Should you move out of the state and find a new job.

All these questions come flooding into your mind. It is too much. You feel the unfamiliar feeling of a tear trickling down your cheek. What? I haven't cried in years. Why would I cry now. I've been beaten with a chair, and didn't cry. I've been called the worst of words and never shed a tear. I tell a couple of adorable British youtubers my life story and POOF I'm out-weeping the willows. You try to pull yourself together, but quickly fall apart once more. You simple close your eyes and mentally scream in pain and confusion. Then, out of nowhere you feel warmth, comfort, love, and care all around you. Your eyes flash open to see Dan and Phil cuddling you up in a group hug. You mentally melt into a puddle of carefree, worryless love.

"It's okay," Dan whispers breathaly.

"We're gonna stay right here with you," Phil continues.

You know what heaven feels like now.

OH I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING! IT'S SLOWLY STARTING TO COME TOGETHER. BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER WHEN (YOUR NAME) CAN NO LONGER RUN FROM HER/HIS MOTHER. UPDATES COMING SOON!!!
