PHIL'S P.O.V
It had finally happened. I'd waited so long for this moment and now it was finally happening. I can't stop smiling.
DAN'S P.O.V.
Well. What am I supposed to do now? I groaned and lay back on my bed. I'd managed to mess up the one thing in my life that I thought could never change. My friendship with Phil. I could hear Phil on the phone to PJ and Chris and Carrie and Alex and Jack and Finn. And everybody. I heard even louder squeals from the hall so I went and put my ear to the door and strained to hear who he was talking to. 'Hey, Mum! So, I've got some news for youuuuuu!' I heard him say.
I crashed open the door and ran to Phil, grabbed the phone off him and hung up. 'What was that for?' he asked, annoyed.
I breathed in and out, trying to slow my breathing. 'I... don't want... to ... tell our parents yet.' I panted.
'What? Why not? I've told everybody else!' he replied.
I sighed. 'I'm going out.' I called back over my shoulder as I grabbed my coat. 'Don't tell anyone else please!'
I rang PJ on the way to the Tube. 'Hey, Peej.' I spoke into the phone. 'Has Phil rang you?'
'Yeah, congratulations!' he replied.
'You have no idea.' I muttered. 'Can we meet up?'
'Um, okay.' he said. 'Starbucks in 10 minutes?'
'Yeah, see you there.' I ended the call.
PJ'S P.O.V.
What's up with Dan? I thought he'd be happy to have finally got together with Phil? I mean, it was pretty obvious they were both gay, and I'd guessed that Phil like Dan. And then, when Phil rung me this morning, I presumed the feeling was mutual. Hmmm, maybe it wasn't... I walked into Starbucks and looked around for Dan. There he was, sitting in the corner, looking out the window. I ordered and sat down. 'Hello?' I waved my hands in his face. 'Anyone there? Daniel?'
'Sorry, hey.' he muttered. 'Thanks for coming.'
'Well, I was hardly not gonna, was I?' I laughed. 'Um, what's up?
He looked down.
'Is this to do with Phil?' I asked.
He glanced up, his eyes telling a story he hadn't even mentioned yet.
'Yes.'
DAN'S P.O.V.
To tell or not to tell? Hmm... I looked up at Peej. To tell. 'Yes.' I replied.
'So...' PJ answered, 'I'm guessing his love for you isn't mutual.'
'Not exactly.' I sighed, 'He's my best mate, of course I love him...'
'But not like he loves you.'
'No.' I looked down again, 'I don't know what I'm supposed to do, and I don't want to lose him.'
'Then, just go along with it for a while. Who knows? You might find he is exactly what you're looking for.' PJ said softly.
'But I don't want to hurt him even more.' I replied.
'And you might not at all. But, at least give him chance. Tell him you want to take it slow and then if it's really not working out then you can just break up with him, but hopefully keep your friendship.' PJ answered.
'Yeah, I suppose. It's not ideal, but I don't know what else I can do.' I glanced up. 'Unless I-'
*Mario Bros theme tune* PJ's phone was ringing. I stared at him, he looked down at his phone, then back up to me. 'Yeah, sure, get it.' I smiled weakly.
'Thanks,' he mouthed as he stood up to take the call. The person on the other end didn't seem to have much to say as PJ just nodded and then hung up. He looked at me. 'I'm really sorry Dan, but I've got to go, my Dad's in hospital, I should probably go see him.'
'Yeah, of course, I'm fine, go!' I grinned back.
He smiled thankfully back at me before hurrying out of the cafe calling a quick bye over his shoulder. There's was only one option. I'd have to act on PJ's idea and just go through with the whole dating thing. I didn't know what else to do.
A/N I am so, so, so, so, so sorry for just vanishing! I have no excuses. Well, other than having been at school. But that's a stupid excuse so, no, I have no excuses. I am so sorry. Honestly, you can't just promise people to post every week and then just vanish for months, Emma! *facepalm* I will try really hard to write more and post it more often, but yeah. Didn't realise until I wrote this again how much I've missed this :') ok I'm blabbering so I'm just gonna shut up and sign off. Byeeeeeeee :3
