You Make Me Okay (phan)

Chapter Five

Dan went about his day as he normally would, enduring insults but strangely, nobody hurt him physically for a change.

By the time Dan reached his maths class, he was still smiling if not struggling.

He walked in the door to see Phil sitting in his normal spot, with Alyssa sitting to his right instead of her normal spot. They were just chatting happily, and Dan couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.

He sat to the left of Phil, and coughed awkwardly. Phil turned around upon hearing him and smiled at him, his bright blue eyes meeting Dan's brown ones.

Dan couldn't help but replace his smile at Phil's happiness.

"Oh, lys, this is Dan. He's my best friend since I got here," Phil replied to Dan's presence, turning his head and winking at Dan

Dan blushed dramatically, trying to hide it behind his fringe as Phil giggled.

They went through maths class all sitting and giggling as they balled up pieces of paper and rocketed them towards their teacher.

He became so paranoid that he wouldn't even turn around, and they all tried to hide their red faces, laughing into their hands.

Alyssa, or lys as she told Dan he could call her, would toss him a piece of balled up paper, and he would pop it in my mouth for a couple seconds, wetting it.

Then, because of their lack of a straw, He would pass it on to Phil who crinkled his nose and only grabbed it with the tip of his fingers, before he threw it at the teacher.

When the bell rang, signaling the end of the day, dan, Phil, and Lys walked down the hall tightly packed together; Phil on one end with Alyssa in the middle, and Dan on the other end.

Alyssa's arms were resting on each boy's shoulder, Phil's arms hung at his sides, and Dan's arm was wrapped lazily around Alyssa's waist.
They found out that Alyssa lived quite close to Dan and Phil, so the three decided to all go to Phil's house.
They walked altogether just chatting, and none of them could've been more content with each other's company.
They arrived at Phil's house a couple minutes later, and Phil led Dan and Lys to the couch in the living room.
"Are your parents home?" Alyssa asked, sliding next to Dan on the couch.
Phil drummed his fingers on his knees carefully.
"Well my Dad's at work, and err" he looked down.
Dan studied his face, reading his expression, then looked over at Alyssa seeing she was doing the same.
"Is something wrong Phil?" Dan said, lightly resting his hand on Phil's shoulder.
"Yeah. My mom..she uh, she committed suicide last year."
"Oh my gosh." Alyssa said in a whisper as Dan leaned over and hugged Phil's waist.
"I'm so sorry, Phil." Alyssa said, looking as if she would cry; she sniffed and got up from Dan's side, sitting on the other side of Phil and copying his action of leaning in hugging Phil.
They sat cuddled up for a while in silence, when Alyssa and Dan suddenly heard a sniff.
They shot their attention towards Phil, only then realizing that Phil was silently sobbing.
"Awh Phil it's okay" Dan shushed him and buried his head further into his side, while Alyssa leaned over and kissed his cheek.
Dan thought about taking Phil's hand and decided it was his chance, if anything it seemed like a friendly gesture to try to cheer Phil up.
He reached over and carefully picked up Phil's hand, lacing his fingers through carefully.
He gently squeezed and felt Phil respond with a squeeze back.
They sat that way for a while, until Dan lifted his head and gently nudged Phil.
"Are you okay?" He said softly, not wanting to disturb the peace.
"Yep. I'm sorry guys, let's go do something." He replied, squeezing Dan's hand and Lys' waists.
"Alright. What do you guys wanna do?" Said lys, rising from the couch and stretching.
"Whatever you guys want to do." Phil said, smiling.
"Well we could go and get some pizza maybe?" Alyssa said, wiggling her eyebrows.
Dan and Phil laughed at Alyssa and agreed. They stood up and Dan was about to pull his hand away when he felt Phil squeeze his hand.
He looked down at their hands, smiling, and squeezed back.
They held hands through town, of course being cautious of people they knew, but to their own delight didn't bump into anybody making them separate hands.
They arrived at the pizza place and sat in a corner table, ordering a small cheese pizza and fries.
Suddenly Dan felt a kick to his shin, and looked over in the direction it came from, to see Alyssa whip her head away and pretend to be reading a menu.
Dan smiled to himself and threw a kick in her direction as well as Phil's.
"Oh it's on!" Said Alyssa as she kicked Dan back, feeling Phil kick her.
They got into an intense game of footsies, before their food came and they settled down, starting to eat her food.
Suddenly they felt Alyssa shoot up from her seat, her eyes widening and her face going pale.
She looked at the door then looked around the room, her eyes landing on the bathroom.
"Brb." She said, leaving the room as a group of boys and one girl came into the restaurant, shouting her name.
