Always attract // Phan

On my own

Phil's pov
"Where were you?" Chris demanded; PJ left the room quickly. He didn't want to hear us fight. Again. Honestly, I appreciate Chris cares about me and is trying to help. But, he's going out of his way and he's too rough and demanding. It just doesn't work.

"I just went out to smoke, don't worry." I said softly; I stood staring at the ground.

"I'm always going to worry. I never seen it this bad. You need to stop smoking. That shit is terrible for you. How many-" Chris rambled on and on, I put up my finger signaling him to shut up.

"I don't fucking care. I'm sorry, okay? Honestly, I'm not suicidal. I'm going to be honest though. If a car was ever to come at me, I wouldn't jump out of the way. I just don't give a shit at this point. Now, can we please be done with this conversation? I love you, you're a great friend. Just, you don't need to worry about me." I interrupted, staring down at him.

I had a feeling that he would yell at me. He worries a bit too much. I'm extremely grateful I have a friend like him, but he's starting to act like a strict parent.

"I will leave you alone, fine. Go on your own. I was just trying to help. Can you please just talk to me? What's all on your mind?" Chris tried; I sighed. It wouldn't hurt to talk.

I sat down on the couch and he sat next to me. He gently stroked my back like a friend would.

"Okay, so I was out two days ago. You know why. I sat on this park bench, and there was this boy. I could only catch small details. He wore dark clothing, and a brown fringe. Just, I feel I'm going crazy. I was kind of staring at him for a bit, and I swear he stared back at me. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have never seen this guy in my life. Today, I went to that park bench in hopes of finding him again. But, he wasn't there. Now, I'm sounding even more crazy and ugh, you probably think I'm weird. I kind of already gave up on it, to be honest. It was kind of stupid." I finished, and looked up at Chris.

      He looked worried, and I knew he had no clue what to say.

      "So, you don't know his name? Or anything other than his clothes and hair?" He finally asked, I shrugged.

     "He was too far away. I wish I could see more of him." I groaned; Chris started rubbing my back again. He pulled me into a side hug.

       "Just rest on it. I honestly think you're losing it. Promise me that you won't go back to that park bench. You already have enough stress on yourself." Chris said softly.

       "I promise. But I'm going to bed, alright? Thanks for talking to me and all that. You're a good friend." I thanked him, and he nodded.

       "Phil, if you need anything, I'm here. So is PJ. I want you to know that." Chris reminded, I smiled.

       "Thank you. Goodnight Chris." I said quietly, Chris gave me one last hug before leaving me alone in the guest room.

      I sighed and laid my head down on my pillow.

    I need to forget about mystery boy.

---------------- Dan's pov ----------------

I had my chance. That thought kept repeating. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't move out of my bed. This guy has seriously no idea I exist.

I covered my face with my hands, as I felt tears fall down my cheeks. I can't be crying. Fuck. Why am I crying over this stranger? I don't even know him.

I'm starting to sound crazy. I need to relax. I'm tempted to tell someone, maybe someone might have a connection with mystery boy.

Okay, I need to stop.

Why am I being crazy? This is weird. I feel like a stalker. I took long breaths, and finally calmed down a bit. I wiped my tears with my shirt sleeve, and threw my face back into my pillow.

     My phone started ringing. I tiredly grabbed it, and pressed answer.

        "Nigga, get into the group chat." Kadin said jokingly; I turned the volume down quickly.

     "When did I give you my number? I thought I only had you on Facebook." I laughed, I sat up on my bed.

      "You gave it to me at the party. But check the group chat." Kadin repeated, I groaned. I ended the call and logged on to Facebook.

      There's this group chat that me and my friends all use. It's kind of stupid considering how weird my friends are.

     I opened it up and began typing.

Dan: hey guys 🐠

The message sent and I laid back down on my bed. I honestly have no idea what they want, and I am totally not in the mood.

      Kadin: you have been actin weird

God damn it. I had my head down on my desk all day today. No wonder they said something.

      Maliki: is it cuz of the party?

     Dan: no. It's personal shit I guess

      Kadin: tell us. Is it bad Is it because your still a virgin :D

       Dan: OMG no stop. I don't know if I should say to be honest.

    I may be a virgin. That's only because I'm not desperate. Even if I was put in a sexy situation, I would probably get scared and run away.

        Maliki: I think I know. When we were leaving the party, you kept staring at some random guy like you were obsessed with him.

     Oh my god. How the fuck did he guess it? Was I making it obvious? Fuck. Why did he have to say it in the group chat? Now, everybody is going to think I'm a creep.

     Dan: ugh yeah. Ur right. Now I hate myself even more

      Alexis: you shouldn't hate yourself

Great. Just great. Now, all my friends know about it. What if they defriend me or something for being crazy? Ugh. Why did this have to happen to me? Why did I have to see that hot guy? Why am I somehow obsessed when I have no idea who he is?

     Kadin: omg who is it?

    Dan: I have no idea. He was at some park bench down the road from the party. I was down the road. Couldn't really see him well. But, I came back today and still couldn't see his face. But I saw the side of his hair, and a bit of his face. I couldn't get too close.

    I think they're taking it well. Thank god.  I got all worried for nothing.

     Kadin: I think I know who you're talking about. I'm not too sure though.

     A burst of excitement literally exploded through my body. If Kadin knows who mystery boy is, I could definitely find him.

Kadin: he goes to our school right?

Dan: I've never seen him.

     Kadin: I'm going to help you find him. I got you

       Dan: Are you sure? This sounds impossible.

         Thoughts started going crazy through my mind. Should I let Kadin help me? I mean, it won't hurt anything.

    Right?
