Dad Howell

Chapter 3

When I woke up Dan wasn't beside me. I sat up and saw a note on his pillow. I sighed and picked it up, reading it.

Phil,

I'm sorry that I might not be home when you awake. I had to do some things. I should be back in a day or so. Don't wait up for me. Lolzor.

~ Dan

I sighed and placed the note down. What kind of business does he have to take care of? Why is it going to take about a day? When did he leave? I guess I won't know.

I pulled myself out of bed and walked into the kitchen. Some cereal would be nice.

I sat down with my cereal at the table and pulled out my phone.

As I ate I couldn't help but think about Connor. What could he be doing? How is he?

I logged onto facebook and decided to finally interact with him. I searched in his name and pressed on his profile. Hot damn. He sure has matured and... he has a boyfriend. Of course. Of fucking course!

I should message him, right? I pressed 'friend request' and pressed on message. I sent a quick and short 'hi Con it's me, Phil."

Shit that sounds so stupid! It says my name so he'll already know it's me ugh. I'm so stupid.

I put my phone down and finished my now soggy cereal. I rinsed out the bowl and put it in the drying rack. Then, I went back to my phone.

Connor had seen my message. He. Saw. It. Shit, shit, shit. What if he doesn't reply? Shit.

I stared at the screen and bit my lip, thinking of all the things that could go wrong.

I put the phone down and sighed loudly. What if he hates me? I'm so fucked. I'm so so fucked up.

My phone started to go off, it was Connor calling me over messenger. Ohmigod. Ohmigod. Ohmigod.
I picked it up, I'm so nervous! It was silent for a few moments.

"Hello..?" His voice was heavenly.

"H-hi.." I said rather quiet. I don't know if he heard me or not because things went quiet again.

"Ph-Phil, is that you..?" He asked slowly.

"Yea.. it's me.."

"Ohmigod! It's been forever! I missed you so so much Phil!" He spoke really fast, I almost couldn't comprehend what he just said.

"I'm glad we're talking again!" I said.

"Ohmigod you know what? We should meet up sometime!!" Connor said.

I laughed and nodded, " Yes, totally! That'd be great!"

We continued to talk for about an hour or so and made plans to meet up tomorrow. I wonder what Dan would think. Well it doesn't exactly matter since he said for me not to wait up for him. It'll be fun to hang out with Connor.

(skipping to next day since I'm lazy oops) -

My alarm clock went off and I shot out of bed. I'm meeting with Connor today! I can't wait for us to hang out for the whole day. It'll be great!

I quickly jumped in the shower and washed up. I have to look good today! I dried off and got dressed then walked out to the kitchen. After popping some toast in the toaster I started up the coffee machine, waiting for the water to get hot.

I buttered my toast and made my coffee then sat at the kitchen table alone. I honestly don't mind being in the flat alone. If Dan was home right now he'd be in my pants by now. I sighed and finished my toast.

While sipping down my coffee I checked social media. After finishing my heated beverage I ran back to the bathroom to fully dry my hair. My fringe flopped perfectly on my forehead after using the flat iron.

I put the flat iron away then just stared at myself in the mirror. I mean I look alright but nice enough. I should probably just stay home. It's not like Connor will miss me at all. We've been without each other for how long now he won't care if I don't go this time. We can always make another arrangement in the future.

I heard my phone start to ring from across the flat, snapping me out of my thoughts. I quickly walked to where my phone was laying on the kitchen table, ringing loudly.

I quickly picked it up, not looking to see who it is. "Hello?" I asked breathlessly.

"Hello Love," he said smoothly, "How are you? "

I froze at his voice. It's Dan, he can't know I'm leaving the house! He'll be mad! Oh man, what do I do? What do I do?!

Out of panic I hung up on him. I, Phil Lester, hung up on Dan Howell. Shit! I'm in so much trouble when he gets back! He'll destroy my ass!

I felt the phone start to ring again and I threw it. It smashed into a few pieces and I just stared at it. I just stood there and stared.

Shit Dan is going to kill me when he gets back.
