Lies (a phan fanfic)

Chapter 4

Dan and I went up to my room. "Woah your room's amazing." He gasped. "Um it's not a lot but I will spare you some clothes and other things." "Are you sure about that?" He asked. I was ok with a stranger I didn't know, coming to stay at my place and borrowing my things.... right? He could be a murderer and all, but I trusted him. "Yeah of course. You need some cleaning up don't you. The shower is through that corridor to your left." I smiled. "Ok, thanks so much. You just saved my life." He went to the bathroom with a towel and pyjamas that I leant him. He was a really nice boy and I kind of fancied him? No that was just wrong. Hang on, he was really cute though. What was happening to me? Was I gay? I think I was. But I wasn't ashamed, I was happy. I just needed him to love me back.

After Dan had finished his shower, I had remembered that I hadn't had any dinner. I went downstairs and got some chips and nuggets from the freezer. I got two portions because it looked like Dan hadn't eaten either. He was thin as a stick. I was happy to have met him. Just as I had put them in the oven, the doorbell rang. Oh no!

I crept up to the door and looked through the glass. There standing before me was my mum! I swung open the door and hugged her so tightly. "Mum!!!! Your back!!!" I was so relieved. "Yeah all the planes broke down and I had no idea why, so I came back home." Then she paused. "Omg Phil!!! Why do you have cuts on your face!" I didn't want to tell her the truth so I had to lie. "I hit a tree while I was getting lunch and I fell over afterwards." She hugged me tighter, while I was digging my face into her soft jumper. "Oh Phil what a clumsy thing you are."

Just as she said that, Dan walked down the stairs. "Uh Phil, who is that." She looked worried. "Mum I met Dan in a cafe and he was really nice but he also fell over but while we were walking back to ours because I thought I needed some company while you were away." I winked at Dan slightly. I didn't want my mum to know the truth or she would have kicked him out. "Oh well Dan how very nice to meet you." We both nodded. Mum had a weird voice as she said that sentence, as if she didn't like Dan. As we were about to walk upstairs, mum said something. "Phil can I have a word please." "Uh ok." I nodded at Dan to tell him that he could go up.

"Phil, just let strangers into the house?" "Mum!! Well...yes, you did it." "I di-" before she could say anything else I stopped her. "That strange man Steve came and started smacking I one and he didn't want you, he wanted our money and house. While you were away he also smacked me thats how I got these cuts. I hate you. I hate you! God mum your so annoying sometimes and don't even listen to me!!!" I screamed. Then I shut my mouth and put my hand over my mouth. I wasn't meant to say that. Now what? I felt my eyes fill up with water. They started dripping down my face. I had a proper sob.

"Omg Phil...I...I'm so sorry." She started crying as well. She wiped my tears and looked me in the eye. "I will never let that happen to you ever again. And also why did you lie to me?" I gulped. "I don't know mum, I didn't want to hurt you." She looked at me with pity and sorrow. "Phil, this is hurting me even more." "Im sorry mum." I whispered. "Hey it's not your fault it's mine. I will make it up to you one day okay?" "Ok." We smiled at each other and hugged.

I walked upstairs and saw Dan listening to our convosation. "Phil, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry for you." "Dan, I'm fine. It's okay." I forced a smile. "Phil...." He held my chin and pushed it up so our eyes interlocked.

"Phil, I think I love you. I don't know what I am; gay or straight, but when I first saw you, I couldn't get my eyes off you, and I know I was moany at the start because I really couldn't be bothered to move or live at that point, but you made a massive impact on my life. I can't believe you took me into your house, but I didn't know your part of the story. So I'm sorry I didn't understand and I just confessed something I thought I would never tell you. Ok Phil, I love u." He blushed bright crimson and I think I did too. He loved me! "I love you too Dan and you don't have to say sorry to me. " I couldn't believe it. He loved me and I loved him back. We hugged and smiled. "So does that mean we are officially dating?" I asked. "Yes?" "Yes!"
