Opinions on the previous asked question? Thanks!
When I returned to my flat I sat down on my couch and wiped the tears from my eyes. Peej came over and I picked him up. He snuggled into my lap and began purring. I just met Phil a few days ago. Why does he care so much? No one has ever cared.
The next few days were spent avoiding the lake as much as possible. I barely checked my phone because I didn't want to be tempted to talk to Phil. I stayed at my flat when I did not have class. I spent that time decorating. Finally, after a bunch of calls from PJ, Chris, Dan, and Carrie I decided to pick up.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hi Phoenix. It's PJ. Look," He paused, "I didn't want to intervene, and neither did the others, but Phil is very worried. You aren't answering calls or texts and he hasn't seen you in days. He said to stop by his flat this afternoon. He is very worried and wants to help."
I didn't respond.
"Phoenix?"
I stayed quiet. I hated talking to people about myself.
"Come on."
"Why?"
"Because he cares about you, we all do! We don't want to see you hurt."
I sighed. "Fine, I'll go."
"Thank you." I hung up and changed from my pajamas into jeans and a Fall Out Boy t-shirt before heading out to get a coffee before going to Phil's. He cares? No one has cared before.
