I Thought You Loved Me (Sequel to Lies)

Chapter 7

The sun arose into the sky and I opened my eyes. I saw Phil laying there peacefully. I decided not to wake him up and leave him there until it was the actual time to wake up. I got out of bed and put on some clean clothes. Then i went downstairs to eat some breakfast. I had yoghurt with fruit. Yum! I was in a happy mood today. I went to the living room and watched some TV. It was quiet without Phil.

I went upstairs to wake Phil up. He was still sleeping like a baby. I walked over to him, but just as I was about to wake him up his phone went bleep. I didnt want to be nosy but I had to look at his message.

Sweetpea (aka Luke): U up yet sleepy head? <3 xx

I shouldn't have read that message. But I did and my mood turned upside down. Why did Phil call Luke his 'sweetpea'? He didnt call me anything else but just Dan. What did the '<3 xx' mean? I wanted to ask Phil all these questions but that was going to make it worse. I was going to get Luke for this. Stealing my boyfriend. My one and only. I was about to start crying when Phil opened his eyes. I sucked it up and smiled like it was nothing. "Hi Dan." He knew I had a fake smile on. "Hey Phil." I started to walk away. "Wait Dan!" I heard him shout. I turned around and waited. "Happy Christmas Eve!" Oh! I had forgotten it was Christmas Eve. I put on another fake smile. "Happy Christmas Eve to you too Phil." Then i turned and walked downstairs. I kept thinking about that message like had sent him. I sighed.

I sat down on the sofa and heard Phil coming. He sat next to me and pulled me in for a hug. "Dan, I dont know whats wrong with you but please let this christmas be good. I'm glad I get to spend it with you." I sighed again. "Okay...." I whispered. He switched on the TV and we watched it together.
