Not So Insane After All

Chapter thirteen (Phil)

I was on my way west from the car when i got a text from mark

Mark- dan is here

I started to flip out on the inside. I'll get to see him again. But i have to push away my feelings for him. I know he doesn't like me, why would he. He's so perfect. Anyway i got up the hill to see mark talking to dan then he waves to me. I wave back and i see dan turn around looking amazing as ever. He's in all black which suits him well. I smile like an idiot and so does he. He runs up to me and hugs me which surprises me, but i don't company. I hug him back and whisper in his ear "i missed you" i see him get semi-flustered. Maybe he does like me. We un-hug and walk back close to each other. We discuss the sleeping arrangement. He tells me me and dan are sharing a tent. He looks at me with a smile. The sun starts to set and it gets dark. We all sit around the fire that chloe made, she's on her own log lying down mark and jack also have there own but me and dan share the big one. I look over to see dan chloe talking and laughing me mark and jack are talking as well. We all decide to play a game. After playing never have i ever for about an hour learning so much about each other and bonding about dumb things we have all done chloe stands up and says,

"Welp i'm dead tired, i'm going to bed see you all in the morning!" she says and walks to the small tent in the middle. Jack does the same, and walks to the one on the left. Mark does the same after talking to me for about ten minutes. Then it was just me and dan. We sat in silence until i look at him than the tent and say,

"Welp we better go to bed as well" i say and stand but then i feel him grab my wrist, i turn around to see him standing still holding my wrist he creeps his hand down to mine.

"Phil. i have to tell you something, i like you. Like a lot i never wanted to tell you before because... because i was afraid that you wouldn't like me back. But today i felt like we can be a thing and not have to worry about the other people in the asylum looking at us and others see us and you get fired and i'd never see you again. But um"

"D-dan?" I try to say but before i could finish he leans in and kisses me. I relax my whole body and let him hold me. I feel like i could sit here forever. Soon he let's go and we brake for air. We stare at each other for what feels like forever, he soon speaks.

"Um, we need to go to bed" he says to me and we head to the tent. My face flushed bright red. We climb into our sleeping bags but soon we snuggle up close to each other i could stay here forever.

I soon fall asleep, and have a vivid dream of chloe with a gun pointed at someone. Shes saying something i can't make out the words. I feel cold. I look at her she looks mad her eyes are filled with tears. She puts the gun to her head and shoots. Her body falls to the floor there is more bodys on the floor at least 20 of them lifeless eyes blood all over the room.

I wake up the next morning in a cold sweat, i look up at dan getting ready for the day in black jeans and shirt. He combs his hair and walks out of the tent. I also get up and grab some of the things out of the bag i bought of my stuff. I grab a bright orange shirt and some geens. I fix my fringed hair, and head out of the tent as well. I look over to see jack sitting alone on a bench, so i walk over to talk to him. He looks mad

"So where's mark and dan?" i ask him he just looks up at me and sighs.

"I'm sorry i'm not used to not having my meds. The withdrawal is affecting my mood. Um they went out to go and cut wood and get some leaves to start building a canopy to start having the fire under." he says and looks me in the eyes while rubbing his neck.

"So how about chloe?"

"Lisson... you can hear her snoring. Heh it's pretty loud."

"Yeah it is." i said with a slight chuckle

"Well imagine sleeping in the same room with her for years."

"Yeah i bet its a pain." we sit and talk for a little. He's really cool and funny. Then he asks me a question.

"So when is dan going to ask you out?" i was shocked about how calm and subtle he was about it.

"Umm what do you mean?"

"Oh. has mark not told you yet? About are abilities?"

"Well yes he has. But he didn't tell me what you all have."

"Um, i'm pretty much telepathic. I can read people and see their true intentions. So it's obvious that he likes you and you like him i saw it the first time i saw you two together in the asylum. I mean i ship it."

"Oh i ship it too." i here chloe say i jump a little.

"Morning chloe how did you sleep?" me and jack ask her almost the same way.

"Um really well. You both look well rested. I like your shirt phil." she said as she went to go get some water from the cooler. She got the water i looked over at jack to continue our conversation, but saw him staring at chloe.

"So when are you going to ask out chloe" he didn't even blink he just simply said

"Never" i was shocked at why not.

"Why? You obviously like her." he now looking at me.

"Because of mark. He likes her and i could never win her, i gave up a long time ago. But i'd never tell him that. I want him to work for her, not just have her in the palm of his hand. But then again she would never do that she tough. Tougher than me, you, and even mark. Her powers are so much more than anyone could know... sorry the withdrawal is kicking in again. Anyway i just rather not."

"Well that's ok i guess. We sat in silence until chloe finished getting her breakfast and sitting down with us in the opposite log. She just looked me in the eyes like trying to read my mind.

"So chloe what's your ability?" i asked based on my last thought.

"Oh um, it's Precognition. But stronger." i sat for a moment and thought.

"So how is is stronger?"

"Well i don't need to hold your hand and look at your palm, or need a crystal bulb. I just look at you and know. Past, present, future."
