Dan looked at him self in the mirror. His face was swollen and beat up from the fight.
He had a black and blue eye and his lip had a very noticeable cut.
Dan lifted up his shirt and saw the new black and blue marks on his back and ribs.
He's such an assholeDan thought
"Ow!" Dan screamed as he touched his eye causing him to be in more pain then he already was.
How the fuck am I suppose to tell my friends what happened to me. I can't tell them the truth. Dan thought
Dan straightened him self out and got ready to go to school.
After The fight Dan and his Father had he skipped school. He couldnt go, he was in pain. He still was in pain today but it was a lot worse yesterday.
After Dan got up after his Dad beated him up, he cleaned up the his new scars.
His Father kept pushing him around for the whole day.
If he saw Dan he would hit or push him into the wall and say something offensive to Dan, like "watch it fag!" Or, "hey Gaylord fuck off!"
Only a couple more days. Dan thought to him self
Oh god! I can't let Phil see me like this! He'll hurt my Dad if he found out! And then everyone would find out about us!
Dan put his face in his hands.
The bus then pulled up at Dan's house.
As Dan got on the bus he could hear everyone go silent.
People were now staring at him and whispering.
Dan didn't care what they said. They would never know what true pain felt like. They would never know what Dans pain was like.
As he sat next to Tyler Dan could notice that Tyler was now staring at Dan with concern and sadness.
"Do you want to know what happened?" Dan ask with a little bit of anger.
"Umm." Tyler said looking away from Dan.
"D-Dan, you look like shit. What the hell happened to you?" Tyler asked putting his hand on Dan's shoulder
I can't tell Tyler! He'll tell someone and people will start talking about me!
"Oh. Umm I um fell in the shower, and hit my face off the glass." Dan said looking at Tyler with a nervous smile.
"Then why is your lip cut?" Tyler ask.
"Oh um the glass?" Dan said even questioning him self.
"Oh ok?" Tyler said looking away from Dan.
This is gonna be a long day. Dan thought.
(Page break)
Dan had seen Phil in the hallway a couple times but Phil never noticed him.
His friends asked him how he got his new bruises, and Dan just told them the same thing he told Tyler.
They questioned it a bit but then went back to what they were doing.
The day had gone by easier then Dan had thought, but now Dan had one more class, and it was English. The class Phil taught.
Dan had skipped class a bunch of times but he had never skipped Phil's.
Dan would have to go back to Phils class soon, but now wasn't the best time for Dan to do that.
As Dan was walking down the hall way he heard his Phone ring.
From:Phil
Hey you haven't been in school for the past couple days, u ok?x
Dan sighed.
What would he tell Phil?
From: Dan
I've had a fever and I'm staying home for a couple Days.
From:Phil
Oh well I hope you get better. Love you!xo
Dan smiled.
From:Dan
Love you too!xo
As Dan walked down the empty hall way he suddenly saw Phil.
Dan could see Phil all the way across the hall way, and with Dans luck, Phil saw Dan.
Phil started to walk towards Dan.
Dans eyes widened. He turned around and started walking the opposite direction from Phil.
Phil picked up his pace.
Suddenly Dan felt someone grab his arm, and then Dan was pulled into one of the janitors closets.
It was dark and Dan couldn't see.
Then out of no where a light turned on, causing Dan to put his hand over his eyes.
"Ahh!" Dan screamed.
"I thought you were sick?" Phil said as he pulled Dans hand down from his eyes.
"Dan!" Phil said with shock.
"Phil I can explain!" Dan said.
"I already know." Phil said putting his hands on Dan's cheeks.
"How did you find out?" Dan asked.
"People have been taking about it all day. But one thing they don't know is that it's obviously a lie." Phil said looking into Dans brown eyes.
"W-what do you mean!" Dan asked shocked.
"Dan I'm not stupid. I don't think falling on a glass door could do this to you. Also why would you be advoiding me, there's obviously something wrong, and I would like to know."
"Phil." Dan said looking down.
Phil kissed the top of Dans head and whispered into the kiss, "please tell me."
Dan started crying.
"Phil! Things have been horrible. I'm scared about what's going to happen after school. Like am I going to collage or not, and things have been horrible at my Dads house!" Dan said as he cried into Phils shoulder.
"Don't worry about collage yet Dan we'll figure that out after school, but what's going on at your Dads house?" Phil said petting Dans hair.
Dan pulled away from his shoulder. Phil's arms were now on Dan's waist and they were both looking into each other's eyes.
Dans eyes were red as puffy. Tear stains were on his cheeks.
"P-Phil. My dad has been abusing me! He keeps hurting me cause I'm gay and I'm not the perfect son for him, he started to hit me a couple days ago and he did this to me!" Dan said crying even more.
Phil pulled Dans head back into his shoulder. Phil was now speechless.
"Please don't do anything to him, if you do well get caught." Dan said crying into Phil's shirt.
"Dan I can't do that. If he's hurting you I'm going to stop it." Phil said.
"But people will find out, and you might lose your job!" Dan said crying even more.
"I don't care about hiding it anymore Dan. He can't get away with this, I won't let him hurt you anymore."
They both stayed in the closet for the rest of the Day. Phil didn't care if he lost his job or not, at least now he knew the truth and he could end Dans pain.
