The Wrong Way Around [Phan]

Chapter 31

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! I'm very sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I'm working on a super-not-so-secret-anymore thing, so I hope you'll all forgive me!? Also, lots of people were freaking out last chapter when Phil died, and I'd just like to remind you that in chapter19 he was given FOUR lives. He's only used two. He's now on his third one. Okay, that's all. On with the story!
----------------------------------

Phil's Pov

I woke up in my room, and had a fleeting memory of a white courtroom and a strange hallway, before the two thoughts seemed to fly away into the shadowy corners of my brain. There, but just out of reach.

I sat up, and was surprised to find that I felt better than I had in weeks. I was energized, my stomach was full even though I hadn't eaten, and I felt full of strength. I got up quickly, and went to see where Dan was.

When I couldn't find him anywhere in the flat, I decided to call his cell. Just as I was about to press the "call" button, I remembered something.

I had died.

Sure, I had been resurrected before, according to Dan, but he would still probably be pretty shocked if I called him.

I put my phone down.

He probably wouldn't be back for a while, so I had plenty of time to just sit and think. I plonked myself down on the couch and tried to remember what had happened to me, but to no avail.

Why couldn't I remember?!

And why couldn't I just have died?!

None of this stupid drama. Just peace. It was clear to me that I hadn't been given a choice in the matter, because I would much rather die than live through hell.

When I heard a key being inserted into the door, I was suddenly snapped out of my daze. I glanced over at the clock to see that I had been sitting there, just wishing I was dead, for nearly an hour.

I turned my attention to the door, expecting Dan to walk into the flat, and was surprised to see someone completely different.

Nick.

I quickly hid behind the couch, hoping he wouldn't see me. Then I heard quiet voices talking to each other.

"How did you get a key to their apartment?" one asked. It was female, so I assumed the voice belonged to Cat.

"Phil's old clothes. They were lying around in the hospital, and I managed to grab the key out of his back pocket." Nick replied.
I could practically feel the smirk he had on his face when he said it.

Cat's cackling then filled the room, but she was quickly silenced by Nick.

"Shut up! Do you want us to get caught?!"

I heard their footsteps going to Dan's room, then mine, then back to Dan's. Then they went back to the door, which opened, then closed.

I waited a moment, trying to decide whether or not it would be safe to come out of my hiding spot, when the door opened again.

I could hear loud sniffling and someone kicking their shoes off, and knew it must be Dan. Without thinking, I jumped up and shouted, "Dan!"

He flew back, hitting his head on the door and sliding down to the floor, clutching his chest. Then he looked up and saw me.

"Ph-Phil? A-are you a gho-ghost, or
s-something?" he said between sniffs. He had clearly been crying a lot, which made me happy but sad at the same time.

He cared about me. He had missed me when he thought I was dead.

I walked over to him and sat on the floor next to him, wrapping my arms around him.

"No," I told him. "I'm not a ghost. I'm not dead. Well, not anymore. I'm assuming I died again?"

Dan shakily nodded his head. I squeezed him a bit tighter, and he leaned his head on my shoulder, crying again now.

Tears of happiness, I hoped.

I turned around a bit and planted a kiss on the top of his head. He looked up at me, eyes glistening, and I leaned down and gave him a proper kiss.

We sat there, kissing, for a while. It was perfect. I no longer knew what I had been thinking earlier when I was wishing I was dead.

As long as Dan was here, life was perfect.

Well, sorry again for not updating in a long time, and sorry this was such a bad chapter. I'm not used to writing this Phan fiction, but I'm sure I'll get back into it XD

May you one day be accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
