Silence fell in the room as Dan stared into Phil's bright blue ocean like eyes, getting lost in them. As Phil did the same. But they soon were disturbed by the little girl storming in and giggling somewhat as she spoke. "Look! Here he is!" She was pulling on the nurses hand happily dragging her into the room to where Phil lay. The brunet wasn't sure what to think of the older female, after his night terror his trust started to fade for the staff here, he knew they were doing their best to help the weak male that was attached to his hand, but there was just that thought that stayed in the back of his head. The nurse came over to examine Phil but all the time, Dan's hand stayed attached to the older males. His eyes stayed locked onto the woman until he felt a small nudge on his thigh, looking down to see Ella. "Dan, why are you looking nastily at the pretty lady?" She asked tilting her head as she watched Dan expressions change, he had no idea what his face was doing while he watched the lady, he was only making sure that she didn't do anything suspicious.

The time passed, the woman had come and gone leaving the three on their own. Ella was sat on Dan's knee as he was sat on a chair that was pulled up right next to the ebony haired male. "Thank you for staying here with Dan, Ella." Phil smiled weakly towards the girl. "I'd love you to stay for longer and help me get better but the carers will be worried about you." The pale man watched as her face slowly changed from being happy to sad, looking down to her own lap she sighed. "I don't want to go." Ella then quickly turned and clung onto Dan's shirt as tight as she could. "Please, I don't want to go!" She spoke again nuzzling her face into the warm chest of the man who felt overly sorry for her, he'd hate to make such a bubbly girl suddenly turn sad like she was. "Hey, how about I ask if you can stay in the hospital with me and Phil while he gets better? I'm sure they'll let you." As soon as the idea let Dan's lips, her head shot up and he nodded quickly then looked over to Phil, her big eyes staring into his, asking for his permission. "Okay, you two go. I'm a bit tired so I'll catch up on some sleep." Dan nodded and got up, picking the girl up with him. He leant over and placed a kiss on Phil's cheek and to both of the male's surprises as did Ella on his opposite cheek. As they were about to leave Phil called Dan's name and waited until he turned around to speak again. "Could you bring my lion teddy?" He asked with an innocent blink and in that split second Dan swore he saw Phil as a child again, his childlike innocence in all of its glory for the world to see. With a nod the male and young female had let the room and headed off for the children's home where Ella lived.

This would have been great, Ella would have been able to stay with him and Phil whilst Phil got better, but he knew that he would have to explain everything that happened. It would be that easy to accomplish seeing as Ella did run away in the first place.

Why couldn't life be simple?
