I've had some amazing reviews from everyone and they made me sooooooo happy. Seeing as there are so few words to each chapter I have decided to post another one today.
Dan's POV
I ran towards Chris' house as fast as I could, avoiding pedestrians and cars which seemed to cram the streets. It was like in those nightmares you get when you run and run but never get anywhere.
Suddenly the pedestrians seemed to melt away and I could see the way right up to Chris' house and I reached the door and flung myself against it. Unfortunately someone had unlocked it so I went tumbling through it and ended up on the carpet.
"Dan!" I heard Phil shout as he saw who had made the impromptu interruption into their talk. I pulled myself onto one elbow
"Hey, is Henrietta here?" Phil shook his head and Chris leant down to pick me up. I dusted myself off wishing for the red glow in my cheeks to disappear.
"Come on through. We were just about to start"
Phil and I followed Chris into the living room where I saw pictures of all shapes and sizes of both PJ and Mark, Lucy's husband, there were also a few pictures of Lucy's children dotted around the room but not a single one of Chris or Lucy themselves. I sat awkwardly down on the sofa feeling PJs eyes bore into the back of my head.
"What do you think Dan?" I jolted out of the thought process that I didn't even know I was in.
"What?" Chris and Phil looked at each other and started laughing
"We knew you'd zoned out"
"Not funny guys" but it was it had been so long since we'sd hung out normally. Henrietta had made us stop that when she forced Phil to move out.
"Hows the job Dan?" Chris actually seemed interested which was new
"It's okay I guess" I couldn't admit that I hated it to these two. "Stressful but I'm glad I had the opportunity to get a good job"
"Good good. I got a new acting job by the way" I tried to be energetic towards Chris' news
"Really? What is it?"
"One of the biggest parts of my life. I'm auditioning for a new show they're starting up on BBC 1. It'll get me a good shot at the Doctor when the current actor stops." Chris and I continued talking about random stuff until I turned to Phil
"How is it living with Henrietta?" He forze and looked at me with those deep blue eyes which reminded me of rivers and streams and the deep blue of a still sea.
"Different. To be honest I didn't realise how different. At least I'm not with you anymore though" I wondered if I'd heard that part correctly
"Pardon?"
"Didn't you hear? I said it was different that's all." I accepted this. Why would Phil lie to me after all we'd been through? We continued talking long into the night even remembering to plan my best man speech as we'd come here for. It seemed surreal how could Phil be getting married? Sure there were woman up and down the country who would kill to be his wife and there had been for years but it just seemed a bit dream like to me, untouchable and terrifying.
So how many people like Henrietta? Reply in a review :)And please include why you think Phil was acting so weird
