Chapter 10
The minutes passed, this wasn't looking good. The boys were losing their hope when the doctor came out of the room.
'I'm sorry..' He started when he was interrupted
'DOCTOR!' a voice yelled, it came out of Danny's room
'I'm sorry, I'll be back soon' the doctor said and left again
'Was.. Was he just going to say that Danny's dead?' Dougie's voice trembled
'I think he was' Tom said scared
The doctor left them with so much questions and it took ages for him to come back.
'I'm sorry for that' the doctor said with a smile. Was he smiling? How could he smile? The doctor saw the confusion on the boys faces.
'Ow, I'm sorry' the doctor said.'Well, I was going to say that Danny had died' Dougie stopped breathing 'But then the nurse called me back in. Danny's heart started beating again at the last minute' He added.
'he's.. he's back?' Harry asked
'Yes, he certainly is' the doctor said smiling
'Can we see him?'
'One at the time'
The boys looked at each other. Who could go?
'Can I?' Harry asked
'Sure, sure' Tom said a little disappointed but he didn't want to have a discussion.
Harry came in Danny's room and saw his best friend lying in the bed still unconscious. It was a scary sight but he took a deep breath and walked towards his friend. He stopped before the bed and took the sight in. Danny had a bandage around his head and chest. His blue arms lying besides his body with several tubes in his hands. He sighed again and sat besides the bed. He didn't say anything for a couple of minutes.
'How in the world can I ever thank you for what you did for me?' he asked him.
'You know, it was my time to save you and you ended up saving me..Mate you have to pull through this one. You have to fight just one more time'
'We need you mate, big time' He said sighing and left the room after one more look at Danny.
Tom immediately stood up when he saw Harry coming out of the room.
'How is he?' he asked him
'Still the same mate'
'Ow, okay I'll go now' and harry nodded.
Tom entered the room and walk towards the bed.
'I'm sorry that I was so horrible at first' he said to Danny. 'I wanted the best, and didn't realize I already had the best. But don't worry, I do now. That's why it's so important for you to wake up. I need to tell you this when you're awake as well. I need you to know that I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you. I wanted to help, really I did. But I didn't know how' Tom was pouring his heart out.
'I love the guys now, you too, very much' There was a silence.
'Do you remember the day when me and Dougie caught you singing? Well, you didn't want to believe it was beautiful. But it really was mate. You have an awesome voice and you need to fight now so the world can enjoy it too'
The door opened. It was the doctor. He needed to check up on Danny. He studied Danny's wound and looked at the machines.
'How is he?' Tom asked the doctor
'There is no change unfortunately' the doctor answered while writing something down
'Should something been changed by now?' Tom asked scared
'Yes to be honest, something should have been changed by now'
Tom swallowed. 'He should've been awake by now, am I right?'
'Yes' he replied sighing
The doctor left the room. Tom turned to Danny.
'You heard that mate? It's time to wake up' Tom felt his voice crack and tears fell down his cheeks. He wiped them away with his shirt.
'Please wake up, please. For us?' he said while the tears kept falling.
But Danny didn't move. Tom sighed and wanted to leave the room.
'No' He heard a voice say. It was Danny's voice. Tom hurried back to the bed, but Danny hadn't waken up. He was talking in his sleep again.
'What is it mate?' Tom asked him, hoping Danny might answer in his sleep.
'Don't kill me' Tom froze when he heard the words. Did Danny used to beg his father not to kill him? He looked at the fragile looking boy which now had a scared face.
'It's ok, you don't have to be afraid anymore' He told the boy and to his surprise Danny relaxed.
'Can you hear me Danny?' He asked hopeful but there was no answer. Tom sighed and wanted to leave the room.
'Tom?'
Tom froze when he heard his name. He had just opened the door. He looked at Dougie and Harry with a did you hear that too-face. They all ran back inside the room and saw that Danny was slowly waking up. They rushed to his bed.
'Where am I?' Danny asked, he still had his eyes closed.
'You're in hospital' Harry told him. Danny slowly opened his eyes and blinked several times. He looked around and saw Dougie, Harry and Tom smiling at him.
'What are you grinning at?' he wanted to know
They all laughed. 'Because we're happy you're awake mate' Tom said
Danny wanted to sit straight but was topped by the pain in his chest and made a face.
'You better stay down' Dougie said worried. 'How are you feeling?'
'Weird, really weird' Danny told them 'Did that just really happen?'
'What mate?' Harry asked curious
Danny thought for a few seconds 'Never mind, I think I was dreaming' he said
Harry, Dougie and Tom looked at each other in worry. Danny had spoken in his sleep, and it wasn't pretty.
'What do you remember?' Dougie asked him
