To Dans pleasant surprise

He woke up first

Or so he thought .

Phils POV

"Hey Mum look at this!"
She giggled as I held up my Teddy bear , she had such an angelic laugh... and pink warm cheeks , bright blue eyes , so much life was in her everyday ...

She scooped me up in her arms , the arms that have held me when I cried , when I laughed , when I slept . I loved every second of it . But her embrace got tighter , and tighter , and tighter - I'm trapped .
Her blue eyes dull to a grey her cheeks fade to a white , she's dying , right In front of me , w-what do I do?!

"Dan!"

I call out to my teddy bear "DAN!"

The bear flops lazily to its side

I scream.

"DAN PLEASE!"

My mother collapses on top of me , lifeless , heavy , cold

"AHG!"
My shout is breathless and exhausted , my hair sticks to my forehead is a messy manner , drenched by beads of sweat ...

I'm in a car , something heavy is laying on me b-but it's not my mother , it's warmer and softer and- oh stop it Phil , that's gay.

I try to squirm him off me but he seems to be a heavy sleeper , his breath tickles the crook in my neck, It smells like chocolate , probably because of the pocky we had earlier .

Inhale

Exhale

Inhale

Oh boy.

I shudder

this is so weird , but strangely comfortable ...

"MmMmph" oh - oh he's waking up.
I can't let this get awkward , he's my only friend, if I made things awkward everything will be ruined . What do u doooo- OH I should:

inhale

Exhale

Inhale

"Phil?" Oh his whisper is so soft...

Inhale

Exhale

"You awake?"
He lightly shakes me

Inhale
"I guess not .."

Inhale

Inhale

I forgot how to breathe.

When we arrived at the house I couldn't believe my eyes

I'd seen small houses but this...

This was tiny

Teeny tiny

"Ok  hop on out hunny"
"k' mum"-
" I was talking to Phil." Her voice reminded me of my old math tutor , sharp like shards of glass. Broken glass. Hmm

"Ok jeez sorry for responding to 'hunny'" he snapped back . I never had the courage to say things like that to my math tutor , it's kind of inspiring.

After endless bickering and retorts that caused Dan to angrily dab- I know I was shocked too- we got into the house ... flat ... thing.

"K mm goin to m room" dan mumbled more to himself then to me.
"Oh no your not" Dan spun around to face his mother
"And Dare I ask , why?" Dan cocked an eyebrow with the most sass I've seen in my life ...

The arguments are like a faucet ...
Once you start to twist , the words will poor out. Endlessly.

"because!" She dramatically gestures to me

"Oh him"
Him? I have a name..
''C'mon"
He grabs my sleeve and leads me up the stairs

We face an off white door that creeks when you push it open, I feel the grey carpet lightly sink under my weight , his walls are decorated in posters and the bed head is stringed with fairy lights , and on the bed is .... I-I'm not quite sure?

"Dan ?"

"Hmm?"

"what's that doing o-on your bed?"
