OKAY. MAYBE THIS WILL MOVE THE STORY ALONG

TW: abuse

Phil is pretty stressed, prom is in about 9 hours and he's still got so much to do.

First off: he has to take a shower. They had an early morning work out for football today and he knows he smells bad.

Secondly: he has to actually pick up his suit, it was great with a black bow tie. It wouldve matched Dan's dress perfectly. Which leads to the third thing.

He needs to convince Dan to come to prom with him.

Hes been texting Adriana a lot lately, and she's in on the plan but he just needs...Dan to be in on it.

He would never to anything to hurt Dan, so it's not like hes setting him up for something. But Phil knows Dan, and he knows that Dan will think this is a trap.

He quickly takes a shower and when he walks out, he sees his mum sitting on his bed, staring at the bathroom door.

"Hey mum...what's wrong?" He asks quietly while tightening his grip on the towel wrapped around his waist.

She glares at him, "nothing. What are you getting ready for?"

Phil starts to shrink under her stern gaze, "j-just p-prom. I'll be back before midnight?"

Her eyes squint and his heart is in his throat, hes never been so scared. Not even when the whole football team pranked him while he was showering in the locker room one day (hence why he took ome at home).

"Nope, you're not going," she says standing up and brushing her hands on her pants.

He gulps, "bu-but mum. I bought the suit, it was almost $100..." the fist clenching his towel is significantly whiter than the rest of his pale skin.

"What was that Phillip? I believe you meant to say, yes ma'am." She says calmly.

His voice shakes," n-n-no mum. I'm- I'm going."

The face of his once loving mother turns from white to red within seconds, and no sooner than that she is throwing things at Phil.

First a cleat, that scratches his arm and blood spills out slowly. Then his helmet, that hits his stomach- causing him to double over in pain. When he is down, her shoe meets his chin and he flings back- hitting his head on his nightstand.

He closes his eyes and let's her continue to hit him, he let's her bruise his pale skin and he let's her make him bleed.

Soon after shes done, she leaves- crying- which helps him know she regrets doing it. But that doesnt change anything. If Phil doesnt leave, he'll die before he graduates. And his mother wouldnt do well in prison, if she makes it there. Hes sure she'd end up in a psychiatric facility. But that's besides the point.

The point is this now: Phil has to leave.

He has to get out of this town, so his mother cant hunt him down and drag him back home. He needs to get away from her.

And theres only one person hes ever wanted to run away with, but he doubts that Dan would run away with him now. Hell, he'd love to have Adriana with him on the road so it's not like she's a problem. She'd never be a problem in Phil's eyes.

He pulls himself up to his bed and lays on it, sighing through the painful actions.

"Fuck this," he whispers as tears run down his face. Then it actually hits him.

He has to leave, tonight. Theres no better time than the present, so why shouldnt he do it? He can make it seem like hes going to prom with Dan and then never come back. Except to pick Adriana up, after the God awful dance.

He reaches for his phone and calls Dan, only to recieve his voicemail, "hey, its Dan! Leave your number after the..uhm..beep? I guess? Bye!"

He groans, "hey Dan. I know you probably dont want to hear from me, but I really need you to come with me tonight. I dont know where we'll go...but I have money that I've been saving and a car. So we'd get somewhere eventually right? Dont worry about Adri, she can come too. Please let me know what you think. Love you, bye."

He drops his phone beside him and he stands up, so he can quickly get dressed then go get his suit.

"God I hope this works out," he mutters as he gets into his car and drives down the road to the dress shop. He smiles at the thought of Dan sitting beside him, and Adri sitting in the back singing loudly to Brittany Spears.

Things will work out.
