Keeping Secrets.

I walked back to my real home. The flat. I was glad to call that my home. It had the people I cared about most in it and being there made me so happy. I walked in and Dan hugged me tightly. He picked me up and twirled me around with a bright smile on his face.

"I missed you so incredibly much, Addy!!" He told me happily. He set me down and examined me to make sure everything was okay. He nodded once and looked into my

eyes. he dipped me down in his arms and kissed me deeply.

I couldn't help but smile against his lips and he brought me back up. I never imaged Dan Howell to be this charming. We wrapped our arms around each other and he then began to have a worried expression on his face.

"Where were you?" He asked with no expression. his words were monotone and he seemed to be holding back sadness.

"I took a walk and I began to feel ill. I got dizzy and my vision became blurry. I began to hallucinate and I thought I was walking into the flat but in reality, I was walking into my old orphanage. Funny story actually,-" he cut me off.

"What!? did they see you!?" he asked.

"Well..Mrs. Hecknoth tackled me but I pushed her against the wall and told her who's boss.." I said hesitantly.

He took his arms away from my waist and put his hands into his hair. He turned away from me and I looked down. He quickly went up the stairs and went into his room. I heard the door close and I didn't want to go up there.

Phil came downstairs and I ran into his arms. he was a little surprised but he hugged me after a few seconds without asking what was wrong. I was beginning to really like Phil in person. He was a great guy and I was happy to call him my friend.

After a few minutes, I went out again. I walked through an alley way and it was dark. I sat on the ground and sighed. I saw people coming up to me and I have them my middle finger before they walked past me.

I shook my head and felt a familiar hand gently touch my shoulder. I looked up to see Dan and I stood up.

"Dan, I sor-" he cut me off again.

"I overreacted and I'm sorry. I love you so much, just remember that."

I nodded and kissed him gently. I couldn't resist.

We walked back home and everything was okay from there.
