Phil's POV:

I closed my eyes in the freezing cold hotel room, Dan still sat in the main room on the laptop looking up my long lost family. I didn't know how I felt, one one hand I was exited this was an adventure and a cultural experience that might change who I am, but on the other hand that fear that they wont want me, that they are horrible people or … and then the feeling under all of this, the deep anger why would my parents not tell me? And the I tried not to let it get to me but me and Dan had found out that my parents had other kids, they just weren't ready for me so they got rid of me then later on they decided to have more kids. but no matter what I told myself I still felt angry. I didn't even know what else I felt but all I knew was a whirl pool of emotion was overtaking my brain.

"I want to go home",

as yet I wasn't sure if a said that to myself or to Dan but Dan put the laptop down on the sofa and walked round and into the bedroom. Dan lightly nudged me over to the other side of the bed and I obligingly shuffled over, he sat down next to me and put is arm around my solders. I felt much warmer and it didn't matter that I wasn't sure if the sudden warmth was from Dan or my blushing. He gently ran his fingers through my fringe he started to talk in I hushed voice, only some of what he said actual went in, the rest of it was just soothing sounds.

"whatever happens remember this Phillip Lester, I am always going to be by your side because I am completely in love with you."

I looked up at Dan and just got lost in the passion I could see in his eyes,

"i love you t...",

I was cut of by Dan's lips, but they weren't pressing against mine they were resting gently and lovingly Dan slowly and so reluctantly pulled away. I had to study Dan's face it was something new, I could see a trace of something new an emotional bold and passionate yet nervous, more than nervous I studied his features, that's what it was real fear Dan was fearful why?then he started gently shaking as he opened his moth to speak he took at deep breath in but then a flicker of something, impressment, flew across his face he awkwardly breathed out and put his head down again.

The next day:

I was still wondering what Dan was going to say last night, I hadn't asked him because he had instantly shut him self of and pretended he had gone to sleep. I was out in town today we were on the first day of our adventure to fined my parents but so far we had been to a local library and when they had nothing we had just gone to have coffee. I pretended to have to fined a toilet and creped of on my own for a minuet leaving Dan in the coffee shop.

Dan's POV:

I sat in the coffee shop alone Phil had gone to fined a toilet or something, I think he actually just needed space but I wasn't going to question him he was having a hard enough time. I had so much to think about just sitting by myself so I wasn't board but after about half an hour I started to worry. I picked up my bag and pulled out my iphone and put in Phil's number witch I knew of by heart.

"hello",

Phil's voice came through my phone much loader than I expected and I jumped back.

"hi Phil",

"oh hey Dan, yeah sorry I took so long I urm well I... can you come outside please"

"um yeah sure wear are you?"

"Dan do you know the dock, you know we went there to get that ferry to the other library"

"yeah shall I meat you there Phil?",

I was confused but I guessed Phil was probably lost and didn't want to admit to it.

"uh yeah please love",

even now my heart jumped a little when Phil said 'love'

"'k bye see you in a mo"

"bye"

I left the coffee shop, damn I had forgotten how cold it was, I stuffed my hands into my pockets as deep as I could. I walked as fast as I could to keep up my temperature and because I was slightly worried about Phil. Eventually I arrived at the dock and I sore Phil.

"Dan!"

Phil smiled brightly at me making me feel warm again.

"hey love"

I said reaching out and putting my arm around Phil and rubbing his shoulder,he giggled and skipped forward making me stretch out my arm then he was just pulling me by my hand, we reached a small but cute boat that Phil jumped into then helped me up. I opened my moth to ask why we were on a boat but he cut me of with a sweet kiss and a man pushed our boat out and I could hear a quiet engine splutter into life. Phil pulled back and smiled at me.

"what's all this for Phil?"

I asked raising my eyebrows and smiling at my boyfriend.

"you will see"

"ok"

we sat on the boat enjoying the river and feeling warm despite the cold, we slowly aproched the bridge and I gasped loudly as I sore a large banner hanging from it that said 'will you marry me Dan?' in large green text. I looked at Phil who was now beaming at me down on one knee holding out a box. The ring was simple just a gold band, on the inside of the ring was engraved 'Phan' a giggled slightly as this.

"Yes Phil, yes, I love you"

Phil stood up and we stood on the bout in each others arms slowly drifting under the bridge, it was the most perfect moment of my life and I drifted into another wave of complete and utter happiness, knowing I no longer had to worry about my future because whatever happened I would have Phil.
