Lies (a phan fanfic)

Chapter 2

I blew out all the candles. I hated the smell of the flame going out. I coughed and waved my hand in the air to get the smell and smoke out of my face. Then I went upstairs. It was 6:30. Mum was not back. I called her. It went straight to the voicemail. I was so bored.

I decided to go on a short walk. I put on my jacket and took my phone with me. Once I was out the door, I breathed in the fresh air. I walked to the park, it didn't take that long. Then I saw them. My mum and the man. This was a bad idea. I stepped back and hid behind a bush. Slowly, I peeped over and saw the man hit mum. I wanted to scream, but I didnt. I looked over again. They were now making out. What just happened? I decided to go back home. I kept questioning myself. Why did he hit her? Why were they at the park? Why? Why? Why? I was starting to get an awful headache.

When I got back home, I went to my room. What was happening? I lied down on my bed and started scrolling through tumblr. I dont even know why I was on it. I guess I had nothing else better in my life. I lay back stretching my arms. I heard the door unlocking. It was only mum. I knew she was very drunk. I heard her falling all over the place. It was 9pm. I decided to keep that image of the park to myself and didn't question her, although my mind was going to blow up.

The next day I heard the doorbell ring. I ran downstairs to find the strange man from yesterday. I ran back up the stairs and spied on my mum and him. Mum came to the door and opened it. "Thank you so much Steve for looking after my Phil while I'm away. I couldnt have done this without you."

What? He was looking after me? No no no no no! What was happening? "Phil honey!" Mum shouted for me. "Er yh" I whispered. "Steve is going to look after you while I go to my new job! It's abroad and I'll be gone for just over a week. Not long. That ok? And Steve is very nice. He wont hurt you." I didn't know what to do. I just sat there staring at them. "All right then." Steve said. He had a very deep voice. "I'll be off, you two have fun!" Mum kissed him on the lips and walked off with her suitcase. The door closed. I was trapped in my own house with a stranger. He was very tall and muscular. "Well well, what do we have here?" I ran upstairs and locked my door. I was going to get hungry sometime. I just had to be sneeky.
