Passion

~A Month Later~

Times sure flies when you're with someone you love. Before I knew it I was packing up to go home, and for some reason, I didn't want to, I didn't want to go home unless it had changed while I was away. I love being with Phil, in his nice little flat, his warm arms, and just his home town. His folks were much more caring and accepting than my own, his brother is pretty badass too, this whole trip made me realize how much better my life was with Phil in it and how I couldn't wait to share all of my world with him. But there was still the uncertainty that my family would rip us apart as soon as we stepped off that train, mostly because, I had yet to tell them that I was bringing Phil home to stay with me for a while. 

Suddenly a bump in the train-tracks brought me back to reality. Looking over to see a very fast asleep Phil laying his head on my shoulder, snoring away. My mind and heart were both racing, imagining how my family was going to tear us apart when they saw us. Slowly I texted Sydney, needing to know someone was going to be on my side in all of this mess. 

Dan; "Hey Sydney..."

Sydney; "Hi Dan! How was your trip? How's the train-ride home going? Are you okay?" 

Dan; "Yes I'm okay haha! The train-ride is going good, a few bumps but nothing much. Anyway, I have a question." 

Sydney; "Shoot."

Dan; "So... Umm... Remember how I told you Phil and I are dating now?"

Sydney; "Yea? And?"

Dan; "Well... He's coming home with me..."

Sydney; "Oh Dan that's great! I'm so proud of you! Don't worry I won't let them pick your love apart. I'll tell your father and Kate to keep their mouths shut." 

Dan; "Thank you so much mo-Sydney! That means the world to me you have no idea!"

Sighing, thankfully I could always trust Sydney, hell she's been more of a mum to me than my actual mum, which is sad when I think about it. As soon as I placed the phone in my pocket I realized what I had just done, "mo-Sydney", I almost called Sydney my mom... Was it wrong? Should I have? I mean she has been more of a mother to me than Kate...

~Finally Arrived home~

"Dan? You okay?" Phil's soothing voice couldn't calm my racing heart this time, the nerves of my family meeting him were starting to get to my head. "Dan, relax nothing they can do will make me change the way I see and feel about you."

I looked up at him in uncertainty, "Promise?"

"I promise." Phil smiled before kissing my cheek and picking up his bags as we walked off the train. 

As soon as we had stepped off the train I could hear the booming voices of my siblings, "Danny!?", "I see him!" and, "Dan!" They all sprinted towards me and wrapped their arms around me, even Adrian, which surprised me but I didn't think anything of it and hugged back. At first, I was hesitant because they've never been seriously affectionate but I embraced the three of them anyway.  "Dan, this way mom, dad, and Sydney are waiting outside by the cars." Adrian's smile spread across his face, until, he saw Phil. "Who's this?"

"Umm, Adrian, Rachel, Kyle. T-this is P-Phillip." I felt my heart begin to race as I felt my panic start to set in, somehow, in the commotion my siblings had caused I had forgotten that the last time I had spoken to my Kate and my dad about Phil, it didn't exactly go over too well. 

With smiling faces, they all shook Phil's hand and welcomed him, asking him all sorts of questions as we all walked together towards the vehicles. Surprisingly enough my only parent that talked much to Phill was Sydney, although dad did have several small conversations with him as well, I could tell he wasn't entirely sure what he was talking about and I could tell by Phil's face he was holding back his urge to laugh his guts out. Instead of heading straight home dad decided it would be fun to go for a quick little breakfast run, to which of course we all agreed. It felt weird to sit in the same booth as both my dad, stepfamily, Adrian, and of course Kate. I hadn't had a decent meal with her for years, I honestly didn't know how to act.

"So, Phil, how was the train ride?" Sydney questioned as she spun the ice in her glass around.

"It was actually very peaceful and it was rather nice to see the countryside for once." His reply was short but filled with life, that's probably one of the reasons I found myself ever more attracted to him. In the corner of my eye, I caught Kate giving me a wretched look, I knew that look like the back of my hand; she was pissed. I could tell she was not happy that I had brought Phil back with me because that meant she couldn't hit me. Obviously, yes she still could if she wanted too, but she would never take a chance like that, going to prison was never an option for her, it seemed to always work around that.
