Phil
    How lucky I am to have gotten the most beautiful, handsome, adorable, sweet boyfriend in the world. How? He is so amazing and lovely and I am so happy to be able to have him all to myself.

    These were the thoughts I always had walking to school in the mornings. Dan and I normally walk to school together, Dan is my boyfriend, by the way, but today he had to go get his make up work from being gone the past few days from his wonderful father dying. He was a really wonderful man and both him and Dan's mum, Katherine, were very supportive of the two of us.

    As I approach the school building, I am expecting to find Dan waiting at the front gate for me, but to not find my Dan standing there.

    Nothing bothers me too much about this, as I figure he either went into class early, or is still collecting his work. We were lucky enough to have 5 out of our 7 classes together, and for the other 3, I have pj in one of them and Louise in the other two, and Dan has pj in two of his classes, and Louise in the other one.

I head into the school, going to first class expecting to find Dan in there, but not finding him. "Um, Mrs. Kim, has Dan came by to get his work from you yet? He should be done by now." I asked. "No, he has not, I'm sorry."

Panic started to take over me. Was he OK? What if he slipped and fell down the stairs? What if he fainted? "I'll be back Mrs. Kim, do you mind not counting Dan and I tarty if we come in late please?" I asked worriedly. Mrs. Kim new about Dan and my relationship and actually shipped it herself so I figured she wouldn't mind.

"Of course Phil, just don't waste your time on purpose!" She exclaimed, winking. "Thank you so much! And don't worry, we wouldn't want to miss our favorite teachers class!" At the end of the sentence, I started walking to the door, ready to go explore the school for Dan.

*****

As I walk down the hallways I hear a scream to my left. A scream I know too well. I look over, seeing a men's restroom sign and fling the door open to see Dan laying on the ground with a bloody nose and to the looks of it a sprained ankle. I look up from him to see who caused it, finding the school bullies Alfred and Jeremy standing there, about to kick my Dan again. "Your such an ugly girl you fu-" I was outraged. You could probably see smoke coming out if my ears. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S OK TO PUNCH AND KICK MY BOYFRIEND LIKE IT'S FUNNY? WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO CALL HIM UNNECESSARY NAMES WHICH ARE INFACT, NOT TRUE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S BEEN GOING THROUGH! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM SO WHY DON'T YOU GO FRICK OFF BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS HURT!" I scream, finally letting out all my anger and noticing the boys looked terrified out of there minds. They didn't even say anything as they ran out of the bathroom, and right before the door shut I screamed "OH YEAH, AND YOUR LATE FOR CLASS!"

As soon as the door shut, I ran over to Dan, crouching down next to him. "Dan are you ok? What happened? What all hurts? Do you need a napkin? Can you breathe alright? Do you need to-" I was interrupted by soft lips colliding with mine. It wasn't our best kiss, his mouth tasted salty from crying, and I had eaten left over pizza for breakfast, but I melted into it non the less, all of my worries suddenly leaving my mind. It seemed way too fast the kiss was broken and my worry was starting to show again. Before I could say anything else, Dan collapsed onto my chest and I feel it become soaked. "Shh, Bear, it's OK. Your OK now." I rubbed his back in circles, letting him cry into my chest. "We're going to need to head to class soon, Bear, Mrs. Kim isn't counting us tardy but doesn't want us gone the whole class period alright? Do you think you could stand?" I felt bad for making him get up already, but we couldn't get in trouble. "Ph-Phil, I'm having the worst day ev-ever. F-first I woke up late, then I didn't even get to eat anything for breakfast, so I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday, and-and then I started thinking you-you didn't wan-want me any-anymore, and now th-this happened. I just want to go home, Philly." He replied, crying once again. "Danny Bear, first of all, I'm so sorry. Second, why haven't you eaten since lunch yesterday? Why did you skip dinner? Third, I love you so much, please never think that again." I reassured him.

"Ok, he definitely won't be able to walk on it properly today, I could give you both a nurse pass and let you leave early if you would like." The nurse, Ms. Humbly, exclaimed. We had decided going to the nurse was the best idea, as when Dan tried to stand up he immediately collapsed into me in pain, and I ended up carrying him all the way here. "Yes please, thank you very much." I replied. "Alright, I'll give the front office and you guys are good to go." She said with a smile.

We walked out of the nurses office, Dans arm wrapped around my shoulder, limping the best he could next to me. "Hey Dan, we should probably say goodbye to Mrs. Kim so she doesn't think we are ditching OK?" "Yeah OK."

"Um Mrs. Kim, we hate to bother your lesson but something happened with Dan and the nurse instructed us two home, sorry we have to miss your class." "Oh it's alright guys, I hope you feel better Dan." She replied with a smile. "Thank you so much, have a great day!" Dan replied, talking to someone other than me for the first time today. We shut her door and started walking to the front gate. Luckily, we lived next door to each other, and I would be going over to Dan's anyways.

     Once we arrived at Dan's house, we noticed his mom was home and would be wondering as to why we were home already. Now, this wouldn't be so much of a problem if Dan told his mum about the bullying, but he's afraid to. So that's how we ended up here.

    I take both of Dan's hands in mine, looking into his eyes. "Dan, I understand this is scary, your scared they will hurt you more, but please. I think it's about time. For me?" I was trying to persuade Dan that he needed to tell his mum about the bullies, but he is scared. He has the right to be if course, but after all of this I think it's time. "I- OK.. I guess.." My smile brightens up as I give him a huge hug. "I believe in you Dan, and I'll be with you every step of the way."

     We had just gotten through telling Dan's moms about the bullies, and she is going to call the school to tell them about it and to get them to stop. So now, Dan and I were lying peacefully on his bed, cuddled up underneath his blankets.

    "Hey Dan?" "Yeah Phil?" Dan looked at me. "I love you." I smiled. "I love you too." And with that our day stayed the same, cuddling, watching movies, and just enjoying each others company.
