Chapter 13: I Believe You
(Dans POV)
"Fuck," I murmured under my breath and three towels rolled down the stairs. I was stressing over the fact that a stranger was staying at my house. The worst part was that I agreed to it. He could be a murder and I just let him into my house!
Yet I still found myself cleaning everything up, trying to prepare for my guest that was coming in the middle of the night. Why? I had no real clue but I just went with it. Maybe I wanted to make a good impression so he didn't think I was completely insane. Maybe I liked him a little too much. I don't know.
I had almost nothing ready but the doorbell rang anyways. I almost fell down the stairs trying to get to the door.
I looked through the peephole and saw Phil standing on the other side, he looked nervous as all hell. I smiled and straightened out my tee-shirt, the only real thing straight thing about me at this point, ran a hand through my hair 'already a mess' hair, and opened the door.
We just stared at each other. It felt like hours, and I knew I could have to keep staring into his blue eyes forever, just trying to explore everything that they held. Of course, I had to ruin that by saying, "So are you just going to stay out there all night?"
He smiled and looked down, "It's considered rude to walk in without being invited it."
"That's true," I say, stepping out of the way to let him in, "well, would you care to come inside?"
"Why, thank you, my good man," he said while stepping in. He watched me close the door behind him.
"So, uh... you hungry?" I ask.
"No, I'm fine," and, as if I'm cue, his stomach rumbled.
I smirked, "I think someone's lying!"
He blushed and looked down.
"Well, I was going to order pizza anyways, you okay with cheese?"
He nodded again but still wouldn't like at me.
"And I guess I should show you to your room," I say while taking his hand to lead him, "it's up the stairs, sorry, it's kinda messy, I don't get many visitors. I use it was my study so the desk is a mess, but the bed should be made and the bathroom should be clean and-"
"Woah Dan, calm down, I would have been fine just sleeping on the floor. As long as it's not a bench outside!"
"Nonsense! I have three rooms to myself, what else am I going to do with them?"
I took his hand and started to drag him up the stairs. He still had a blush on his face and wouldn't look at me when we got up there but I had given up on that anyways. I let go of his hand and opened the door, the room was completely fine, thank god. I gestured for him to go into the room.
"I'll leave you to get settled in, I'll go order the food, just come down when you're settled in and taken a shower. You can use whatever's in the bathroom, it's just across the hall," I say, about to turn to leave when I feel his arms fly up around me.
"Thank you," I hear his say in a whisper, his voice about to crack.
I wrapped my arms around him and answered him with, "You're so very welcome."
I didn't know why he was here or what really happened. All I knew was that he needed a place to stay and he couldn't go home, I was just glad that he didn't fall asleep on the streets, that was my only worry. I went through that once, and it broke me and now I turned out like this, I couldn't let that happen to anyone else.
After a few minutes he pulled away, his eyes were shining with tears that dared to spill over.
"Everything's going to be okay," I said and he nodded.
"Yeah," he said, "I believe you."
I walked out of the room after that. I heard a thud and the wimpier of him crying. I sighed, knowing there was nothing I could do I went downstairs to order food when I saw that PhiltheAmazing had texted hello. I answered with hi and when I hit send a heard a buzz come from beside the front door. I quickly walked over to see what I assume was Phil's phone. I picked it up and saw the notification on the screen. A text from his mom and someone named Martyn, and a message from Kik by a guy that goes by the name of DanShouldbeonfire.
Small world.
I feel like I'm going to pass out right now, I should sleep. Sorry it was short but I don't want things to go too fast in the story and it's hard to write as it is so sorry about that. I mean, that last chapter was long, get over it! Anyways, see you later! Bye!!
