"Bear what's up?"
Dan sat there almost frozen on the spot.
"She t..text me again. Phil I have to go back.. else th..they said they would h..hu..hurt you.."
He burst into tears.
Why couldn't his parents just leave him and Phil alone?
"Dan I've told you! Your not going back.. let's go speak to my mum.."
Dan was already flinging his clothes into his suitcase.
He didn't want his parents to get angrier, because if they hurt Phil, Dan wouldn't be able to stop blaming himself for the rest of his miserable life.
"DAN! STOP IT! IVE TOLD YOU! YOUR NOT LEAVING!"
Phil grabbed Dans wrists forgetting about the cuts that were healing.
"Ow" Dan winced.
"Crap sorry... come on let's go speak to my mother.."
"She can't help us Phil.. if they hurt you.. I'd never be able to forgive myself"
"And if they hurt you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself!" Phil exclaimed.
Phil led Dan downstairs into the living room where they could hear the quiet buzz of the tv.
"Oh boys.. what's up?"
Dan couldn't stop himself. Too many emotions were fighting in His head and the winning ones were sadness and fear. Tears were streaming down his face quickly.
"They t..text me again.. they will hurt P..Phil if I don't return home. I'm sorry Kathy but I have to go... Phil won't let me... but I have to face my parents!"
"Dan dear, Phil is correct. They might hurt you again... and they don't know where Phil lives. Just ride it out until you get home in a week or so."
Dan nodded, not completely satisfied with what she said. Then again, she was only trying to keep him and Phil safe.
"Come on Dan... it's been a very very long day... let's go and get some rest"
Dan paused
"Yh..ok..
night Kathryn."
She glanced up from the tv and smiled.
"Night Dan. Night Phil."
"Sooo Dan are you gonna grab a shower?" Phil asked. He hoped Dan would. He decided to do something but Dan couldn't know.
"Yh I guess so.. I'll be 5 minutes."
As soon as Dan walked out of the room,Phil grabbed Dans phone and went into his parents numbers.
Blocked mum
Blocked dad.
Phil let out a sigh. This might make things a little easier for Dan.
Inside Phil was scared of Dans parents. He knew that if they hurt him, Dan would never ever forgive himself and no matter what Phil would do or say, none of it would ever work.
Phil heard the shower turn off and the bathroom door unlock with a small click so he grabbed Dans phone and cleared the recent history, then slowly slid it inside Dans hoodie.
"You ok Phil... you look a little flustered?" Dan questioned
"Nah I'm fine Dan.. I was just thinking about.. about the what's it called?.... Ah yes the time when I um did something embarrassing.. Yh" Phil scratched the back of his neck knowing that Dan must of fell for his excuse.
Dan didn't fall for his excuse.
But he went with it.
"Dan I was um wondering if you... you know.. wanted to watch Winnie the Pooh... it sounds childish but we always used to do it... it might calm you?"
Dan smiled. Phil remembered.
"Your memory is getting better and better mr Lester and I love it!"
Phil chuckled.
"So its a yes?"
"Hell yes"
Phil slid the dvd in the old DVD player and the movie started.
Dan pretended to enjoy the movie but he couldn't. The memories were too painful. He was still scared about his dad.. and his mum.
Phil looked down at Dan who was resting his head on Phils arm. Dan normally had a wide smile when watching Winnie the Pooh but this time his wide and happy smile, was replaced by a dull,sad expression.
"Cheer up Danny."
"I'll try"
Phil shifted in his spot. He didn't know how to make Dan happy again.
"I can't see your dimple"
Dan rolled his eyes.
"I said I can't see your dimple"
"Maybe that's because I'm not happy... sorry Phil"
Phil wrapped his arms around Dan and held him close.
"Your safe with me... I'll protect you I promise"
Dans lip turned up slightly.
"Just a little further and I might call that a smile."
Dan tried to keep a straight face but it wasn't working.
"Ooo carful Dan... I can see the dimple appearing"
"Oh be quiet Phil" Dan giggled.
"Wow I'm lucky.. I've just heard a laugh too!"
Dan playfully nudged Phil and started to watch Winnie the Pooh.
Safety.
Calm.
Phil.
Protected.
After 10 minutes of the movie, Dan had eventually fallen asleep.
Phil turned off the nightlight and closed his eyes.
"One day" he whispered.
One day, he would be able to tell Dan exactly how he feels...
one day Dans Parents will leave him and Dan alone...
one Day,Dan would hopefully be Phils.
"Night bear"
"Night philly" Dan murmured.
