My first post! Hello Tumblr ;)

[usmiechstories]

Hi! I wrote this fanfic some time ago, before couple lasts ep were released. My fb friends already know it but I possibly added few things here and there. Hope You will like it! Let's start!

When we were looking for Hannah, we got closer to each other. We’ve been like a huge family which cares about all members. When we finally found her – we all fell apart. It was painful and it broke my heart. I've never thought all those people will become so important for me, but they did and that's why the lost hurt so much...

It was cold evening even for autumn. One of the kind, when people staying home or enjoy glass of beer in the bar, happy they don't have to get wet outside. That was great opportunity for Phil, who expected a lot of guests tonight. He looked at Leila. Her long, blonde hair fell over her shoulder, a bit curly and messed. Big, brown eyes were so sad. It was obvious something bother her but she never told him what is going on. He knew it was connected with Jake, but he didn't want to scare her with questions. She was so pretty and so far from his type in the same time. Hawkins didn't know why he was so into her but he couldn't help himself.

‘We would be a terrible couple’ she said, when he sat next to her on the couch. It seemed like she read his minds. Weak smile run across Phil's face, as he knew she was right but he didn’t want to say that on loud. They were nearly ready for an opening hour.

‘We would be the best one’ he replied. Leila raised her eyebrows.

‘We were both in prison. It is terrifying to think how our kids would be’ she laughed.

‘So… did you enjoyed your stay?’ Phil seemed to be amused he can ask her same question she asked him last time.

‘Well, food sucks, beds are uncomfy and all those women were big, mean and smelly so…’

‘So… you were their bitch?’

She send him a warning gaze.

‘Just like you in male prison – she answered. – But what can I say, that is the curse of cute people.’

‘Aww, you think I’m cute!’ he muttered excitedly. Leila punched him in the arm.

‘I think you are annoying.’

‘I really wanna kiss you’ he said and looked deep into her eyes. For a while they were frozen in time. Her heart started beating faster, didn't know why... So many emotions hit her at once. She could swear, she's shaking.

‘Then kiss me’ she even didn’t know why she said that.

‘What would your hacker say?’

‘He would be angry.’

Phil frowned at her.

‘So why you wanna me to kiss you?’

‘To make him angry’ she looked away. Phil tried to look through her skin. She was so lost and confused.

‘So it is a bad motivation then' he answered.

‘Yeah, it is’ she replied still didn’t look at him.

‘So I guess, I can’t kiss you.’

‘I guess you can’t.’

‘Do you love him?’ this question surprised her a lot. For a while she stayed still. Many things happened in meantime... Too many...

‘I don’t know. It is complicated’ she finally cough up.

‘So maybe it is none of us in the end?’

‘Maybe… Maybe it is Dan’ the joke was so unexpected than Phil burst of laugh. ‘Dan?’

Leila’s mobile started ringing. She checked it up.

‘Speak of the devil. I need to answer.’

‘We are opening for an hour so don’t stay too long with your new cutie pie!’ he called when she was leaving the room.

‘Shut up!’ she started laughing when answered the phone.

‘Hello my cutie pie, what’s up?’

The silence on the other side was disturbing. When he finally spoke, he was so sad and helpless.

‘Leila, I don’t know what to do… I need your help… I don’t know…’

'Hey, come down, just tell me what happened.'

Couple minutes later, she grabbed her jacket and ran over the bar. Phil looked at her with confusion.

‘Hey! Where are you going?! - he called, when she passed him. – We are opening for a while!’

She turned around. Her face was so pale. She looked sorry and Phil had a feeling, he won't be happy with the answer.

‘I can’t stay, I’m sorry!’

‘Are you fucking kidding me?!’ he got angry. He didn't have his stuff today, decided to open just because she promised him to help.

‘It’s an emergency, I will explain it later, don’t get mad!’ she ran faster, left him behind. She knew he will be pissed but right now Dan needed her more.

‘They all ditched you when you needed them the most! – he yelled. – And now…’

He kicked the doors and then shut them angrily. Leila knew he was right. They all ditched her. She nearly passed away when she went back to Duskwood. Phil was the one who found her laying on the floor at her motel room. She spent four days at hospital and none of them knew about it. None of them seemed to care. She felt bad for leaving Phil right now, but Dan sounded so desperate… so helpless...

Leila arrived to Dan’s place soon. All wet, she knocked on the door. Dan opened. He was pale and shaking.

‘What’s going on?’ she asked. She saw tears in his eyes. She’s never seen him like this.

‘I don’t know what to do – he said. – She is so weak but she doesn’t let me help her.’

Leila stepped inside.

'Come down' she said. 'We will manage.'

‘Daniel? – they could hear hoarse voice from the next room. – Who is this?’

Leila went straight to the room. Dan tried to stop her but she was faster.

'Mrs Anderson - she smiled - it is pleasure to meet you.' Older lady covered herself with bathrobe.

'Leila... ' Dan grabbed her arm. He wanted to pull her out of his mother's bedroom.

'Daniel, why you didn't tell me you invited this nice young lady? I would dress properly.'

'Mom... I will...' He started but Leila interrupted him.

'Go to the kitchen and make a two cups of tea for us - she pushed him out, giving him a warning gaze - and we will just gossip a little.'

When Dan came back Leila and his mother were laughing like old friends. He didn't understand what put Leila in such a good mood until he noticed the family's photo album.

'Great' he mumbled.

'You were so adorable' Leila laughed pointed an old pic from his childhood.

'Oh honey - Mrs Anderson sighed. - I am so happy you finally found such a wonderful girlfriend.'

'But we... '

'Didn't tell our friends yet - Leila didn't let him finish. - You know, they might be afraid how our friendship will take it... '

Dan's mom smiled. Her son has never introduced any of his girlfriends to her but she exactly knew what type of woman they were. This one was totally different, thank God.

'Secret lovers, this is so romantic. But I can tell, you are made for each other.'

She covered her mouth when she coughed and Leila could see a stains of blood on the tissue.

'Ok Sophie, let's not waste any of time - Leila helped her sit on the bed. - We have to make you look like a billion dollars cuz I made you a date.'

'And who it would be?' asked Mrs Anderson but she let Leila help her get up.

'Well... He is a charming man called a Doctor Smith but just between you and me: I don't really believe his name is a Doctor. But that's how he is calling himself so I don't wanna argue.'

Sophie giggled.

'You are unbelievable' she smirked. Leila helped her with shower and all the staff and half an hour later, she and Dan were waiting in the living room for the verdict.

'I can't believe how easily you convince her to an appointment. And you really called a doctor.'

Leila put her hand on Dan's shoulder.

'You said your mum needs a doc so I called one. It's not big deal.'

Dan closed his eyes and covered them with a hand. He was so scared. He reached the edge of his strength.

'I don't know what I will do if she...'

'Hey! - Leila pulled him into a warming friendly hug. - We help you go through all of this. The most important is to diagnose her right now and start to cure her.'

'Thank you Leila'

'Alright! - she yelled. - Stop making the Thommyboy's puppies eyes and get a grip! We need a strong Dan right now.'

It was a long time before the doctor came out. He head to Dan straight. It was difficult conversation even if he made a thousand of them already. It stayed a month... Or two... Until... Dan was devastated but he tried to be brave. Leila didn't want to leave him but he convinced her to go back to Aurora. When she arrived live show was already over and Phil closed the bar for tonight She found him cleaning the room. She went to him close.

'How was it? ' she asked carefully. He even didn't looked at her.

'Just like you care' he mumbled. He was so mad it nearly broke her heart.

'I do care' she replied. Phil turned around and looked deep in her eyes. He seemed to be tired and disappointed.

'You left me - he said. - Just because one of the bunch called you. Where they were when you almost died? Where they were when you stayed at hospital fighting for your life?'

'Phil... '

'You can't answer me that, ain't you?'

She felt tears running down her cheeks.

'I am sorry, ok?!' She didn't want to cry but she couldn't help herself. 'Life sucks.'

Phil couldn't stand her crying. He wiped her cheeks with his hand.

'I am just worry about you' he said.

'I will help you with cleaning.'

'So... What was so important that you ditched me for Dan?'

'His mother is dying' she whispered and went to change. When she was changing her clothes her phone beeped. She looked at the screen. It was a message from unknown number.

'You made a mistake. You should be careful or this will happen again'

The message contain a photo of burnt house.
