Catch Me Before I Fall (A Phanfiction)

Chapter 5

Dan's POV:

Whilst walking out of class, All I could think about is Phil. All I can think about is Phil. I smile as I remember how I kissed Phil. I smiled as I remember how good it felt. As I was thinking, I saw Phil, it made me pretty happy.

"Dan!" Phil said as he walked up to me. Does he remember the kisses liked I do? "Hi Phil." I reply.

"Since its lunchtime and your my friend, I was wondering if you would like to sit with me" Phil asked with a smile. It made me feel butterflies and nervous. I couldn't say no to Phil, so I agreed.

"By the way Dan, im happy you agreed to sit with me." Phil said shyly. So when we walked up to the table, I saw that Phil's friends were there. It made me feel more nervous.

"Zoe, Peter, this is Dan." Phil said with a smile. When we sat down, I sat and slid closer to Phil. Phil makes me feel safe. I must show my nervousness because he whispers in my ear.

"You don't need to feel nervous." I see him smile at me. It made me feel good. It made me feel so good, it sent chills down my spine. I notice my stomach growl loudly. I normally don't bring food so it doesn't suprise me. Phil splits his sandwhich in half and gives it to me. He also gave me some crisps and half of his gatorade. He smiled at me and told me to eat. I tried to protest but I couldn't do that to him. The bell rang to signal that lunch is over. I didnt want to leave him but, I was going to see him for tutoring anyways. I went through the classes for the day, I was going to walk to the libaray for tutoring, but I saw the people I hated the most.

"Oh lookie here Jacob, we have the fat, emo scum with us" snarled Hunter.

"It looks like he gained 20 pounds since lunch. Because you know, he ate like a fatty." mocked Jacob.

"Why don't you shut the fuck up" I replied. Before I could blink Hunter pushed me into the lockers and then Jacob. I punched back and one of the bullies punched me in the jaw. I then was pulled away from the fight and brought into the Libaray. Phil was the one who pulled me away.

"Why did you pull me away? I could have handeled them myself!" I said.

"I didn't want to see you get hurt." Phil replied sadly.

"Can we start studying?" I ask.

We start studying. We studied for a bit before I decided to confess my feelings to Phil.

"Um Phil, I have something to tell you. Its kinda important." I say shyly.

"Yes, you can tell me anything." He said to me with a smile.

"I, um, I have feelings for you. I don't know why, but I have never felt like this for a guy before." I say. I waited for the worst response. I cant help my feelings, its just that I feel so happy talking to him. I don't want to talk to anyone else.

"It's ok Dan. I have had feelings for you since the first day I have seen you". Phil says. I don't know if I want to cry or laugh. All I know is that im happy he feels the same.

"Phil? Can we be friends until I'm ready to come out. And when im ready can we be more than friends? I ask.

"Yes of course, I will wait for you" he says.

I then put my head on his shoulder. I love his warmth. This feels right. Phil feels right.

Phil's POV:

I just finished tutoring with Dan. I don't want to go home. I want to be with him. I don't want to leave school. I want to be with him. I am so happy he feels the same. I sigh and walk home. When I got home, I opened the door. I am happy to see that Ben isn't home yet. But I know he will be home soon though. I take a shower, change and do my homework. I hear Ben come home. "IM HOME FAGGOT" Ben yells. He storms up into my room. "How is the emo faggot?" Ben snarks.

"What?" I ask.

"There is nothing I hate, even more than you, than a fucking emo faggot" Ben snarls.

"Shut up Ben! You know nothing about Dan!" I say defensively.

Before I know it, Ben threw me to the ground. He then kicked me as hard as he can into my already bruised rib. I yelp in pain. "If you cry faggot, I will kick you again even harder!" He snickers. He walks out the room and slams my bedroom door. I get up in pain and climb into my bed. I crawled into a ball. My phone rang. I look at the caller I.D and its Dan.

"H-H-Hello?" I say in pain.

"Are you ok?" Dan said with concern in his voice

"I-I-I I fell down the stairs and I hurt my ribs" I reply. Every word brought more pain.

"I hope your ok, I don't want to be alone at school" Dan replies. He doesn't sound convinced. He knows im lying.

"Ben should take you to the hospital" Dan says to test me.

"N-No its ok" I say.

"Well I miss you Phil. Get some rest." Dan says with concern

"Bye Dan" I say.

"Bye" He says. I hang up. I also miss him. I then slowly drift off to sleep.
