What happened?

Chapter 4 | | A Peek At The Past

Sorry this is short >.<

Well, enjoy!

"Well, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, You Me At Six... All that kinds of stuff," Phil still didn't look up at me.

I just nod, kicking a stone into a little ditch. I remember I made that ditch when I got really mad at PJ (I don't remember the reason, oddly) and I just kept kicking one spot with my old pair of converse until it was a satisfying size dip in the ground.

Then, just like that, a flashback hit me like a fresh slap to the face.

"Peej! Haha! Stop it!" I giggled, flinching as my best friend jabbed my side.

"Never!" He pulled one of my curls and it sprang back.

"Mommy! Peej is being a meany again!" I stuck out my tongue at him.

I watched as my mother stepped out of the house, laughing at me as I pulled an upset face and crossed my arms over my chest.

"What is PJ doing to you, Bear?"

"He's pulling my curls again!"

"Awww that's too bad," She smiled and picked me up, holding me up against her waist.

PJ frowned, pouting a little and I just smiled.

"Haha! I get uppies but you don't!"

"Now now, Daniel. Don't be rude," My mother set me back down.

I was just about to ask her about when I could eat but my father called for her.

And then a bright flash swiped across my eyes and the memory was gone.

I opened my eyes to see dark green

strips of grass close up to my face.

"D-Dan?" Phil whispered, shaking my shoulder.

I didn't reply, my eyes focused on the grass, everything else growing blurry. I watched as the little piece of green waved at me in the wind. I tried to breathe steadily, but all I got was uneven intakes of oxygen.

"You okay? Should I call 999?" I heard a deep voice say. But it was all foggy in my brain.

"Dan?"

This time I sat up right quickly, my eyes growing wide as I saw tears fall from the eyes above me.

"Phil? Did I-do this to you?" I gasp, and press my lips into a firm, hard line.

"N-no I was just...worried. What happened?"

"Nothing." I stood up just as fast as I had sat up, but soon falling back down, right into the ditch.

"Don't get up! I'm going to call 999 right now don't-"

"NO!" I screamed and stood up, just as fast as I had sat up about a minute ago.

I ran to the house, sliding the glass door aside and grabbing a beer before sitting in the corner on a love seat.

I can't take this. I can't do this anymore. No more panic attacks. No.

"Hey mate!" PJ slurred, a goofy smile laid on his face. For some reason I had the urge to slap it off.

"What do you want PJ?" I asked bitterly.

"Dance with me!" He laughed.

"PJ, no, go find Chris." I snapped.

"What's wrong Danny?" PJ giggled.

"Shut up," I said firmly.

"Where Philly?"

"DO NOT-say his name." I calmed down a little.

"Woah, chill." PJ sighed and trudged away, mumbling something about how I was a "fun killer". I just rolled my eyes and took a sip of beer.

I felt someone tap my shoulder and I just dismissed them right away, not really caring about who they were. The tap came again.

"Piss off!" I say through clenched teeth before I look up, seeing Phil look a little hurt.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you."

"I-I, okay yeah. Um...." I stuttered, fumbling over my words.

"It's fine. I'm going to leave now-probably. You don't need a ride home right?" Phil pushed his hair out of his eyes.

"Um no. You don't have to leave y'know. You could sleep here. I am,"

Why did I just say that?

"Yeah! That'd be nice." His smile was bright and beautiful.

But not beautiful. Not like that.

"Okay! I'm going to sleep on the couch so..."

"I'll sleep on the chase lounge. No problem. Let me just talk to PJ," Phil started to walk away but I grabbed his arm.

"Wha-"

"He's pissed. Don't bother," I laughed.

"Oh! Okay. Is he-just making out with Chris?" Phil raised an eyebrow in PJ's direction and I saw he was right.

"Oh dear. Want to go to the living room?"

"Yeah," Phil agreed.

*****

Yeah this is just a filler chapter. I'm so sorry for not updating. I have another wedding to prepare for and homework on top and I'm just really stressed. By the time my chores are done and homework, I'm tired and I have to take a shower than I sleep. I apologize. But I hoped you enjoyed the chapter nonetheless.

☛Peace Out☚
