Phil raced home to a surprised Dan who had just woken up. "DAN DAN DAN!" he called,"DAN!"
"What the fuck. I am meant to be sleeping and the time is 10:00. Why are you here?" He asked with a slightly angered tone. Streams of light poured into the room through gaps in the dark curtains.
"Dan, she's amazing," Phil gabbled,"she is cute, she is funny and she likes playing video games!"
"Oh, nice," Dan murmured, suddenly losing interest in the conversation and gesturing for Phil to leave. For some reason, Dan didn't like anyone who Phil was dating and Phil ended up breaking upwith all of them.
"What is it with me and my partners?"
"Nothing,"Dan replied, "they just don't seem right for you and I think you deserve the best."
"What, by me being single?" Phil asked. He hated having arguments with Dan but sometimes he could be really annoying. Phil knew that Dan would never love him like that and so he tried his best to move on by dating other people. He walked out of Dan's
dim room into the halway. He didn't stop at his own room like he intended but subconsciously walked further and into the bathroom. Phil locked the door and picked up a small knife from his drawer. He was 2 months clean and didn't want to break that
now yet although he had been so happy this morning, seeing and hearing Dan speak to him like that ruined his mood immediately. He hated himself for what he did and knew that Danwould hate him even more. He let out a small cry as he carved angry
lines into his pale, white skin just when Dan walked past.
"Phil?" He asked, concerned, "Phil? Are you ok?"
"Yup! Better than ever!" Phil replied between shaky breaths.
"Can you come out here? I want to speak to you," Dan told Phil. He quickly pulled down his sleeves and unlocked the door after he cleaned out the blood in the sink.
"What do you need," Phil forcefully smiled with gritted teeth, trying to hide his mental and physical pain.
"I want to see your arms."
"Why," Phil replied, trying to act surprised. He wasn't a great actor and his lied were astransparent as a freshly cleaned window. Dan grabbed his arms and looked at his arms. To his dismay, there were a dozen freshly given cuts.
"I'm always here for you..." Dan said. For some reason, he felt affection for his best friend. Affection far above just friends and knew that he was 100% in love with his roommate, best friend and apparent crush.
