'What is Phan?'

Chapter 14

Dan's POV:

He's kissing Louise.
I stare at them feeling something in my chest. I put my hand to my chest and try to calm my rapid heart. I take deep breaths and back away from the scene unfolding in front of me.
I knew it. He did have a crush on Louise.
I turn around and walk away, careful to not make a noise.
I wipe my cheek and look up at the sky.
It's sunny.
It takes me a moment to register that it wasn't rain, but a tear.I quickly wipe it away. There isn't a reason why I should cry.
"Dan!"
I walk faster, not bothering to look at the person who called me. " Damnit Dan!" Chris says as he grabs my wrist. I hide my face as I quietly sniff. "What the hell is wrong with you? You've been a serious bitch ever since you started hanging out with the 'cool' gang" Chris spits. " Leave me alone" I whine as I try to escape his grasp. " No Dan. not until you tell me what's wrong"
" Everything" I mumble as I loosen his grip on my wrist. " Dan..." Chris sadly says.
I finally manage to have him let go. I run away, making twists and turns so he won't follow me.
Not that he would.
I end up at an unfamiliar park on the other side of town. I go to sit on a swing until I notice someone is already there.
" Hey Zoe" I say as I try my best to fake a smile. " Dan? What are you doing here? Don't you live in the other side of town?"
" Oh uh yeah. I just came here to... chill"
I take a seat on the swing next to Zoe. We are in complete silence until I hear a sad sigh. " What's wrong Zoe?" I ask as I face her.
" I-I feel like crap because it's like so obvious Matt still loves Louise. I don't understand why they even broke up! Also, it doesn't help that I have a slight crush on Alfie..."
" Well... you should do what your heart tells you. I mean, whatever makes you happy is the right choice. Unless its killing someone. Don't murder."
She slightly smiles as she looks down at tge ground.
"I'll.. yeah, ok. Thanks Dan" she says as she starts to get up. " No problem " I grin.
I swing a little longer until I decide it's getting rather late.
As soon as I get home, I hear my mum's worried voice. " Dan! Where have you been?! Your father and I have been worried sick!"
" I was just as the park mum, chill"
I push past my brother who came to inspect the rukus.
I loudly shut my door as I hear my dad say " Teenagers".
I throw my bookbag against the door as I go to sit on my bed. I sigh as I make plans in my head to avoid Phil and Louise at all costs. Even if a dinosaur with machine guns for arms comes down from Venus and forces me to talk to them on gunpoint.
I get off of my bed as I remember I haven't done any of my homework.
After finishing most of my maths, I close my book and start to work on my English. I open my old book but find something that shouldn't be there.
A note.
I take a shaky breath as I read the message over and over.
' Well Done Daniel'
