PHANtastic Holiday (A Christmas Special)

Sad Holiday

Dan's POV:

I must've dosed off because I remember waking up and everyone being gone. I looked around and found a note on the coffee table. It was from Phil.

Dan,
Had to go home. Didn't wanna wake you.
I'll see you tomorrow, love.
- Phil.

I sighed and put the note in my pocket. I wish I was awake so I could've convinced Phil to stay the night. 

Just then I heard a knock at the door. I looked at my phone and saw that it was almost midnight. Who could it be? I was hoping it was Phil. Although he knew I had a spare key in a plant outside the door so he didn't need to knock.

I got up and walked over to the door.

"Hi Dan.." It was Laney.

I haven't seen Laney since that day at the mall. What was she doing here?

"Laney.. Hi" She stood there and had tears in her eyes.

"Um.. May I please come in?"

I nodded and opened up the door more so she could walk in. She went and sat down on the couch.

"Are you okay?" I asked. Obviously she wasn't because she was crying.

"Yes... No. I don't know. I don't really want to talk about it but... I just need a friend right now and I know we didn't really get to know each other well but I just don't have anywhere else to go."

She leaned over and gave me a hug. I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't really want to talk to Laney after she held my hand making Phil think her and I were dating. I could tell she needed a hug though so I didn't pull away.

Just then she pulled away and kept looking at me. She quickly leaned in and ended up kissing me. Before I had time to pull away I heard my name.

"Dan.." I looked over and saw Phil standing at the door with the key in his hand. I didn't even hear him unlock the door.

"Phil! I was just-"

"I just came here because I left my phone... I should just go." He grabbed his phone from the counter and ran out the door not even closing it behind him.

I stood up ready to go after him when Laney grabbed my arm.

"Just let him go Dan. You still have me." She gave me a weak smile. I couldn't believe her. She knew that Phil and I were together. She probably even heard the door which is why she pulled me in for a kiss so fast.

I ripped off her arm and ran outside to catch Phil.

Phil's POV:

I ran out of Dan's apartment so fast I didn't even know where I was going. I could feel this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. I felt sick. I knew it was all a joke. He doesn't love me. I could feel tears starting to come out my eyes and then I heard Dan's voice. He grabbed my arm and I turned around.

"Phil wait! Its not what you think I swear!"

I pulled my arm away.

"You never really loved me did you?"

"Phil she kissed me out of nowhere I promise I love you. There's no one else but you."

I felt like there was fire in my throat. I didn't believe dan. Not for one second.

"Don't talk to me anymore Dan. I can't look at you right now." I started walking away.

"Phil please don't go!" I heard Dan shout behind me. I kept walking without looking back. I didn't want him to see my face which was all wet because I was crying so much.

It was cold outside but i didnt care because my insides were on fire. I wasn't sure where I was going. I didn't want to go home. I pulled out my phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" Pj answered sounding tired.

"Peej hey its me Phil"

"Phil hey! You sound sad is everything okay?"

"Not really. Do you mind if I stop by your place right now?"

"Sure come on over. I'll see you soon then."

After a few minutes I finally made it to his place. I knocked on the door and Chris answered.

"Phil hi come on in."

I sat down at the kitchen table and Pj sat down too next to Chris. Peej handed me a cup of tea before asking what was wrong.

I explained the entire thing that happened with Dan and they were both silent for a moment.

"Phil, I have to be honest, I don't believe Dan did it on purpose to hurt you. Maybe he was telling the truth about Laney." Pj said.

I sat there staring at my hands and moving my thumbs around.

"Phil," Chris placed his hand on mine "Dan loves you. More than anyone else in the world. He talks about you all the time and we've never seen him so happy to be with anyone else. You should talk to him. Let him explain what happened."

Chris was right. I was upset with Dan but I still love him. And I need to know what happened.

"You're right. Just. I can't talk to him right now. I'll wait till tomorrow."

Chris nodded and took his hand away.

"Do you want to spend the night here? So you won't be alone at home." Pj suggested.

I nodded and they set up the guest bedroom.

I couldn't sleep. Dan had sent me 15 messages and called 5 times. I didn't feel like talking to him. I would wait till morning when I had a clear head.

I turned to my side and saw out the window in the room. I thought the holidays were supposed to be full of cheer. Why did mine have to be so sad?

I closed my eyes trying to ignore the millions of thoughts rushing through my head.

All I wanted to do was sleep forever.
