Dougie POV
We were sitting in the car on our way to the hospital. Tom had told us about Danny. I just kept looking outside, I hadn't said a word to either of them since the news came. It's all my fault that Danny is in this condition.
We arrived at the hospital and grabbed the first doctor we saw. We were lucky and it was the right one.
'Oh, you're here' he said. Then he continued about Danny. 'Danny was found by the road. He has probably been hit by a car but the driver fled. He must have laid there for a amount of time to fall into a coma. If he had been brought in sooner we probably could have prevented it. Anyway, he has several broken ribs and an internal bleed which we stopped already. But he must have been starving because he is very dehydrated. We also can't tell how much brain damage there will be until he wakes up. He is in a critical condition, we've been trying to stabilize him since he came in but you can go in if you like'
'Thank you doctor' Tom said and smiled at him. We were all a little blown over by all that information.
'Is he able to hear us?' I asked. Speaking for the first time. In the corner of my eyes I saw that Tom and Harry were looking surprised in my direction.
'He's in a pretty deep coma but he should be able to hear you'
This was great. But as we were walking to his room, I felt the nerves strike me. Tom slowly opened the door and we walked in. And there he was, lying in the hospital bed with tubes in his arms and a mask over his head to give him oxygen. There was also a machine to measure his heartbeat and blood pressure. He looked so pale and skinny. He's always been skinny but now.. he was just meat over bones. It was a very scary sight.
I took a seat besides the bed. Tom and Harry did the same. I took his hand, shit he's so cold!
And I couldn't take it anymore. The tears were drowning my eyes. I had to let them go. Harry saw it and hugged me.
'What have we done?' I asked between sobs.
'He'll be oke. I just know he will be.. he has to be' while he said that I felt him shrunk. I was hugging him now.
I looked at Tom, who was about to have a break down. I let go of Harry who was already a little calmer and took Tom in my arms. He immediately started crying.
'If he doesn't get through this, I don't think I want to live anymore' he said
'Please, don't say things like that' I asked him
'I'm sorry, but I don't think I can ever forgive myself. Even if he finds it in his heart to forgive me, which he won't'
'I know it's hard now, but we have to be strong for Danny. We have to be here for him, tell him that we DO care and love him.' I said looking him straight in his eyes.
'I love him more than anyone in the entire world.' He said between sobs
'I know. I do to' I said. Giving him another hug.
'Me too' Harry said. And I looked at him, giving him a warm smile.
We all love Danny. I just don't know how we could let it get so far. How we could let this love turn into hate.
