Part 22

Dan

Two weeks detention. That's all Spencer got. Two fucking weeks of detention. 

Dan's mom went home immediately after the conversation with the principal was over. She tried to hide it but she was very, very upset. Upset with the situation but also with Dan. She would never tell him that but Dan could tell.

Both of the boys could resume school that day but since first period wasn't over yet they had to wait for a while. Dan saw Spencer walking outside and he followed him.

Spencer lit a cigarette when Dan came outside, without Spencer noticing. While they were dating he stopped smoking for Dan but right after he started again. Dan hated it.

"So..." Dan said, startling Spencer as he turned around. "First you date me for months..." Spencer's face got red when he saw it was Dan. "Then you break up with me by beating me up, you keep beating me up every few weeks for a year..."

Spencer took the cigarette out of his mouth and looked to the ground. "Proceeding to bully me and make my life a living hell." Dan continued with a blank stare. "Then you say you love me and want us to get back together."

"Okay Dan you know what?!" Spencer started but Dan stopped him. "I'm not finished." he held up his hand. "To prove your love to me you dry hump me against my will, forcing me to walk around with hickeys and bruises for days. And then you lie about it making me look like a fucking idiot. Does that sound about right?"

Spencer took a drag of his cigarette. "Fuck off Dan..." he mumbled. 

"Me?" Dan raised his eyebrows. "What the hell did I do?" he felt himself getting really angry again. "You made my mom cry you know."

That seemed to get to Spencer as he looked up disturbed. "Really?" he whispered. He actually got along really well with Dan's mom when they were dating, which made Dan even more angry looking back.

"You're a really fucked up guy Spencer." Dan spat out. "Do me a favor and never talk to me again, that's the least you can do." Dan turned around to go back inside.

"Dan wait!" Spencer said. Slowly Dan looked back over his shoulder. "Thank you for not saying anything about... us... you know... with my dad and all."

Without answering him Dan walked away, inside the school. He wasn't gonna waste one more second on that guy.

Phil

After school Dan told Phil everything that had happened that morning outside the school on a bench.

"Fuck..." Phil whispered after he was done. "Only two weeks?" he asked full disbelieve. "Only two weeks." Dan nodded. "I feel so fucking stupid." Dan covered his face with his hands.

"No Dan don't, this is not on you." Phil grabbed one of his hands off of his face to hold. "You did everything you could and they twisted it all around, that makes them fucking stupid, not you." Dan shook his head.

"But I didn't do everything... I could've told them about Spencer and I..." Dan looked down at his hand that Phil was holding. "Why didn't I just do that? He deserved it."

"Because you're a good person..." Phil rubbed his thumb on Dan's wrist. "Because you have a good heart. Yes he did deserve it, but that's what makes it so incredibly strong. You're so strong Dan." Phil smiled. 

Dan smiled back for a split second and then looked sad again. "My mom is really mad at me..." "No she's not." Phil moved closer to Dan so he could put his arm around him. "She's just upset that it went this way, it hurts her to see you this way." He now ran his fingers along Dan's arm. "But she's not mad, she just doesn't understand why you wouldn't tell them about you guys's relationship."

Dan nodded slowly, "I hate that this hurts her." He looked up, causing their faces to be really close to each other. Phil looked Dan deep in the eyes and saw everything. He saw the pain he felt, the embarrassment and so much more. 

Phil closed his eyes and put his forehead against Dan's. His entire body was shaking being so close to Dan. He felt Dan's hand on his neck and his thumb rubbing softly on his cheeks. 

"I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you anymore Dan." Phil whispered. And he meant it. He was gonna do everything in his power to protect him from all harm.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." a female voice suddenly said in front of them. Startled both of them looked up and let go of each other.

Jessica, Spencer's girlfriend, stood in front of them. Three jocks behind her, one was Dennis. The other two Phil recognised from practice but he didn't know their names. His heart began to beat faster as Jessica looked unhappy.

"You..." she turned to Dan, "As if it wasn't enough that you tried to kiss him last year, now you're saying Spencer raped you?!"

Phil looked over to Dan and he looked fucking terrified. "I never used that word." he said softly. "Why can't you just admit that you're a fucking faggot who is in love with Spencer but he doesn't love you back." She snapped. "So to pretend like everything is fine you're now with this guy whose a fucking pervert, checking people out in the hallway." she scoffed at Phil. 

Phil decided to keep his word and he stood up. "Leave us the hell alone." he tried to sound confident but his voice was shaking. This made Jessica laugh. "What? You have a backbone now?" The guys behind her started to laugh as well. 

Suddenly her face turned serious, "Bart, hold him." One of the guys behind her stepped forward and within seconds Phils arms were held behind his back by one arm and the other arm was around his neck. 

"Let him go!" Dan jumped at Bart trying to hurt him but before he could do any damage Dennis got him as well, dragging him away from Phil, who was desperately trying to get loose. "You see mister pervert," Jessica was stepping towards Phil. "I don't like it when people come in my way."

She stepped so close her face was only inches away. Phil was hold extremely tight making it impossible for him to move. "And you and your pathetic little boyfriend got in my way, you see?" Somehow, even though she was almost a foot shorter than Phil she managed to terrify the shit out of him.

"And now I'm gonna get my payback." She smiled.
