Hello Internet ? Phan

My phone kept ringing until finally Hazel answered it.

"Hello? Hi Phil. Yes. Yes he's here. He told me what's been going on the past few days."

Great. Just great.

"Yeah, he's pretty upset. I guess he tried to go home, but his old house was being invaded by his sexually active mum and his... Dad."

Thanks Hazel. You're literally telling him EVERYTHING.

She kept looking at me while talking, and I gave her an eye roll. I mouthed "What are you doing?!?!?" and she mouthed back, "I'm sorry."

I laid my head down.

Well fuck.

"I don't know.. Just notify me, first. Okay? Thank you Phil. Bye."

"Do you need anything, Dan?" She peeked into the room.

"No."

"Okay." She started walking back, but I stopped her.

"Why did you tell him those things?"

"You mean the truth? Dan, he wanted to know where you are and according to him, you left a note that said you were going to your mum's house.... And you're not there."

"I know, bu-"

"No. You need to talk to him. If he shows up here, don't be short with him. Got it?"

"Okay. Fine." I rolled over on the bed.

Fucking hell. She invited him over. I'm screwed now. What's he going to do? Is he going to come over? Is he going to make me go back? Is he going to be mad at me? Mad at me for leaving?

I was terrified. I knew he would come over to talk to me, but when? And I didn't know what he was going to say. I had no choice but to let fate carry out the events for the next few days.

I heard a car door shut and knocking on the front door.

"Hi. He's.. He's in there." Hazel said. I didn't hear any other voices. I just closed my eyes and waited for the door to open.

The bedroom door opened slowly and creaked.

"Dan.." The voice said quietly. He sat down on the bed, next to me. "Dan... I'm sorry I was like that. I guess I didn't know what I had.. Until I lost him. Martyn and Hazel explained everything."

I laid there and listened, not saying anything. "Please.. Dan. Talk to me. What's a relationship if there's no conversing? I care about you. I know that hurt you.."

"Stop." I said.

"What?"

"Stop." I sat up to look at him. "Stop apologizing."

"Dan.. I"

"Stop. Apologizing. I was the one who yelled. You just wanted to lay with me."

"Dan... I should've accepted that you were too tired. We did have a long day. I shouldn't have pushed."

"Why did you.." I said quietly.

"Dan... It wasn't because of you, if that's what you're thinking."

"Then why?"

"Before going to bed, I got... I got hacked on Twitter and the hacker found personal information about me. They kept posting it. People.. My followers.. They were commenting and tweeting my account, saying I'm a terrible person, I'm a horny fuckface, I'm only using you as a way to get more views, I'm a shitty excuse for a role model..."
