Sup dudes and dudettes

I go back to school in a few days. How has it been a month already, like the hell?

Anyways, enjoy the chapter! :)


Dan's P.O.V.

Adam brought me back to the hospital. I decided to keep to myself about the bad feeling I had for now. No reason to make the situation any worse than it already is.

The room was silent except for Phil's monitors beeping. It was just Phil's mum and I in the room. Phil's dad went to go get coffee and Adam went back to my apartment to grab some things I didn't think to grab while I was there before.

"How did this happen." I heard Phil's mum mumbled, stroking Phil's hair back.

My tears had inevitably dried but my cheeks were still stained, eyes still red, nose still running slightly.

Phil's dad walked in and closed the door, handing both Phil's mum and I a coffee.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

He nodded in response and sat down next to Phil's mum.

More time passed by, complete and utter silence before a knock was heard on the door followed by a police officer and a woman.

"Mr. Lester's family?" She asked.

Phil's parents got up but I made no effort to move. I just sat by Phil's side holding his hand.

"We're his parents, Helen and John. You are?" Phil's mum said.

"Detective Grey. We're here about Mr. Philip Lester's case."

My ears perked up upon hearing her words. "Case?" Phil's dad asked.

Detective Grey nodded her head. "Mr. and Mrs. Lester, we have reason to believe that your son's accident... wasn't an accident after all."

"What?" I asked a lot louder than I anticipated, my attention turning towards the other three adults.

Mr. and Mrs. Lester turned to look at me.

"And you are...?" Grey asked.

"Phil's husband, Dan." I said, looking back at Phil.

"In that case, I'm going to need to ask the three of you questions... if that's okay of course." She said.

The two adults nodded their heads.

"Mr. Lester, why don't I talk to you first?" She asked Phil's dad.

He nodded his head and kissed Phil's mum on the forehead before following Detective Grey out of the room.

Mrs. Lester returned to her original seat and continued to stroke Phil's hair back.

"It wasn't an accident? Who could do something like this to someone like Phil?" I asked rhetorically.

"This can't be happening." I sat back in my chair and let my head fall into my hands.

I flinched slightly when I felt a pair of arms hug me. Realizing it was Phil's mum, I let down my guard and cried.

"He doesn't deserve this." I cried.

Her hold tightened a little. "We're going to get to the bottom of this sweetheart." She said quietly.

Closing my eyes, I leaned into her hug. Sighing softly and clearing the lump in my throat, I leaned back forward when her hold diminished.

Silence.

I reopened my eyes and looked at Phil's fragile state. Broken, cut up, stitched and bandaged. Bloody and frail. This isn't the Phil I know.

"This is all my fault." I suddenly said.

"Dan don't say such a thing. You didn't know this would happen." Phil's mum said.

I shook my head. "Ever since Phil and I began dating, so much has happened to him. He's been in the hospital numerous times because of me." Tears started to well up again.

"That's not true Daniel and you know it." She continued.

Silence overtook me. I couldn't bring myself to say it again...

Time passed and Phil's dad came back in while Phil's mum stepped out.

He took a seat opposite of me and took Phil's hand in his.

"We're going to find who did this to you Phil. That's a promise." He said.

Remaining silent still, I patted Phil's hair back as best as I could with the bandage wrapped around his head. I leaned over and kissed his cheek, laying my head in the crook of his neck and breathing in his scent.

"I'm sorry Phil." I whispered.

More time went by before Phil's mum came back into the room and Detective Grey asked to speak with me now.

Kissing Phil's forehead, I followed the Detective out of Phil's room and off somewhere where we could talk in private.

"Please take a seat Mr. Lester." She said, sitting opposite of me.

Doing as she asked, I sat down and cleared my throat.

"Not to be rude but is this going to take long? I don't want to be away from him for too long." I said biting my lip.

She smiled sympathetically at me and shook her head. "Answer all my questions and it shouldn't take long."

Nodding my head, I released my lip from my teeth and sat up straighter.

"Whenever you're ready." I said quietly.


I honestly can't believe I'm going back to school already, like what.

A month goes by way too fast when you literally sleep the entire time lmfao

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter and I will see you soon with the next one!

Bye guys! :)
