But I'm Straight (Phan AU)

Chapter 19

(Phil's POV)

After I was finished cleaning him off I carried the light boy into his room as placed him carefully onto his bed like he was a porcelain doll.

He pushed the gray sweatshirt into my arms and I looked down at the blood-stained fabric.

"I'm s-sorry." He coughed.

"It's okay. I can just buy another one." I smiled and he nodded.

Within two minutes, he was sleeping soundly and I chuckled to myself. I left his room quietly, trying not to make the door squeak too loudly and went downstairs.

"D-dan cuts h-himself?" I heard a voice squeak and I jumped slightly and swung around. Adrian was sitting on the stairs again looking at me curiously.

"Erm...what if he did?" I muttered adjusting my shirt nervously.

My dad was watching football on the telly. I said 'hello' to him quickly and jumped onto my laptop. I searched self harm.

There were websites telling about signs, symptoms, causes, and others were explaining it. I clicked on a website that seemed to be promoting it. It had quotes that said terrible things like "you're not good enough"

I then went to images and all the blood drained from my face when I say these photos. I noticed a picture and saw the person had cuts on their thighs and my eyes watered, thinking about Dan. He's so beautiful so why does he do that to himself?

I slapped my laptop shut a little too hard and opened it quickly making sure nothing was broke.

I sighed in relief and flopped onto my back.

ugh what am I going to do with him

I heard the door open downstairs and smelt pizza and my smile enlarged. I raced down the steps and saw my mom holding two pizzas and a bottle of coke in her hands.

I hugged her and she smiled down at me. I plopped down onto a kitchen table and watched as she set her purse down and put her car keys on the hook.

"Wait..why would you get three large pizzas if it was only the three of us?"

"The Howell's are staying for dinner." Mum explained softly and I nodded.

The victorian sounding bell rung through the house and mum told me to get it. I opened our heavy door and saw Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Dan, and Adrian. I motioned for them to come inside and they gratefully stepped into our warm, heated home and shrugged off their jackets. I noticed Adrian kept his heavy jacket on and his lips were blue and he looked really really freezing.

"Adrian...are you o-okay?"

"I'm alright." He croaked out and his dad clasped a hand on his back roughly and the fragile boy winced.

"Atta boy." His dad said loudly and Adrian nodded quickly, shuffling into the kitchen. We all sat down and I was between mum and Dan, the rest of the howell's were on the other side of the table, and dad was sat at the head.

All of us, got our own pizza slice and I noticed Dan's dad got three. He was a rather beastly man per say. Not fat, just muscular. Intimidating.

I hoofed down my pepperoni slice and Dan laughed, showing his cute crooked smile.

Cute? Oh my god. Stop Phil. Stop.

I looked over at Adrian and I saw he only took a nibble out of his pizza slice. His dad rudely ripped it off of his plate, eating it whole.

Mum coughed awkwardly and dad looked away. Dan's ears turned pink in embarrassment and Mrs. Howell sent apologetic looks to mum.

"Would you like a beer?" Mum asked Mr. Howell and he nodded. He opened the can and chugged it down, burping. I grimaced and looked away.

"Dan, Adrian, do you want to go watch the telly with me?" I asked.

"Sure." the said unanimously and followed me into the family room. I turned the television on and saw the news was on.

"Same sex marriage has now been legalized in the following states: New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Maine, and Pennsylvania."

I heard someone slam their fists onto the dining room table and I ran and saw Mr. Howell standing up his face bright with anger. The silverware clattered against the wood kitchen table.

"That is fucking disgusting. Anyone part of LGBT should burn in hell!" He boomed and mum's face turned from scared to angry. Dan sighed but had a really sad look on his face.

"I think you need to leave." She said sternly and before Mr. Howell was about to argue his wife pushed him into the foyer and out the door.

Dan and Adrian said a quick goodbye and left the house with a sad look. We stood there in silence and my eyes started to sweat thinking about what Dan's father said about gay people.

"Oh come here, baby." Mum whispered and I hugged her tightly and dad joined with the hug too.
