Catch Me Before I Fall (A Phanfiction)

Chapter 3

*Phil's POV*

I painfully walked to school the next day, I got out of bed pretty late as I was in a lot of pain after my brother pushed me, I had bruises and my ribs were aching a lot. As I reached school I realized first period was already over and it was almost time for Math class. The new kid Dan was already in class, and he didn't look too happy, I wonder what his story is. "Hey" I smiled at him "is everything okay? You ran off yesterday"

"Umm yeah..I just wasn't feeling so great" he answered quietly not even looking up at me, so I just quietly took my seat next to him. Our teacher walked aroud giving us our worksheets "Dan you ask Phil if you have any difficulties with the work, he's one of my top students" our teacher said and Dan just simply nodded. Dan was really really cute to be honest, occasionally would look at him to see if he's having any difficulties.

"Uh..excuse me, do you know how to do this question?" He asked me quietly.

"My name's Phil and yes" I said smiling and explained to him how to solve the math problems and he quietly thanked me.

"Dan can you please hold on, I need to speak to you and Phil for a minute" My teacher stopped us before we could leave when class ended. "Dan I noticed on your transcript that you're a little weak in math, I want you do well so I'm assigning Phil as your tutor"

"N-no its okay Miss I don't need a tutor" Dan was the first to speak quickly.

"Mr. Howell, I want you to do great in this course, I know you have it in you please take this advantage. What do you say Phil?"

I was hesitant at first, its not that I didn't want to help but Dan didn't seem to like me or anyone much, but I agreed to help I just couldn't say no to helping someone.

"Okay, you two can start right now, feel free to have your lunch here I just want to see how this works out" our teacher said happily before she took her seat. I texted my friends letting them know that I won't be joining them for lunch today before taking a seat next to Dan.

"Aren't you going to eat anything?" I asked Dan.

"I'm not hungry" he said quietly "can we just start?" I agreed with him as we began the first session. Dan was mostly quiet the entire time and only spoke if he had something to ask or if I asked something which wasn't too bad.

"There's a test tomorrow, so if you come to the library right after school I'll help you study for it?" I offered Dan. He just nodded at me and left, I hope he takes my offer actually there's something about him.

*Dan's POV*

Phil seemed like a really nice guy, I sort of felt bad that I wasn't speaking much, I wanted to but I just couldn't I don't know why. He's also cute, his eyes are really pretty and he has  a nice warm smile..wait..why am I thinking about him this way? Ugh. What has gotten into me?

I decided to take Phil's offer and go to the library after school, I really wanted to do good in that class I didn't need another reason to feel bad about myself at least maybe I'll be able to do decent in my classes. The library was pretty empty today, which was a good thing I didn't want to be around too many people, Phil was sitting at a desk and there was no one else near he was practically the only one there.

"Dan! You came" he seemed really happy about it, I gave him a small smile the least I can do is appear friendly he is helping me out. The entire time he was talking I was just staring at him, what is it about Phil, I need to stop and focus I really need to pass this class.

"Everything okay? Should I slow down?" He asked me he probably noticed I was distracted. "Uh y-yeah sorry.. Can you repeat the last bit again" focus Dan, why are you letting a guy distract you?!

I kept getting distracted, Phil asked me if I was okay and I just stared at him, I stared at his beautiful eyes his caring face and I just couldn't take it anymore. I leaned in and kissed him, he kissed me back and for a second it all felt so right it felt good but then I came into my senses..Why the fuck did I do that!? I pulled away and in shock, Phil seemed calm "I-I'm sorry.. I have to go" I said and ran off.

Why did I do that, why did I kiss Phil, why did I like it? I got home, my parents weren't home yet, good. I ran up to the bathroom and locked the door and sat on the ground, tears started pouring down my face, what is wrong with me what are all these feelings. My wrists started itching again, I couldn't control it anymore, I found my blade.. I took a deep breath and made three cuts and watched the blood drip into the sink, but for some reason it wasn't soothing me like it usually does. What is wrong with me?

*Phil's POV*

Dan just kissed me, I didn't think he was gay, but he looked so shocked and confused when he ran off. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, I found Dan really cute I think I like him. I walked home and all I could think of was Dan, I realized that its getting really late, great Ben is going to kill me. I get home and see he's not there

"He's probably passed out at the pub or at his idiot friends" I said to myself. Honestly I'm really happy he isn't home I just don't want to have to deal with him today. I eat something, take a bath and then lay down in bed, all I could think of was Dan, what's his story, why did he kiss me why does he avoid talking to people? I want to get to know him, things will probably be awkward tomorrow but I really want to try, I think he just needs a friend. I started thinking about the kiss again and there was a instant smile on my face as I drifted off to sleep.
