Chapter 11

Danny thought for a few seconds. 'I was putting out the trash when I heard Harry. My father came out with a gun and pointed it at Harry. I tried to stop him but he pushed me away. I fell on my head' He thought for few seconds. It was a bit blurry.

'I saw my father load the gun. I couldn't let him shoot Harry so I jumped up as fast as I could to stop the bullet from hitting him.'

The boys were happy Danny remembered everything. But they were still worried about his dreams.

'Is there something else you remember?' Tom asked

'Should there be something?' Danny asked confused.

'No no, just asking' Tom said smiling. Danny didn't understand it but decided not to be bothered by that.

'Did you mean everything you said to me?' Danny asked Tom

Tom's eyes widened. Did Danny hear him? But he was having a nightmare?

'How?' he wanted to know

'Sometimes I could hear you guys, but I couldn't answer.' Danny told them honestly while looking down

'And what about the other times?' Dougie asked

'I was at home' Danny told them. 'It was really weird it was so realistic'

'What happened?'

'You know.. the usual' Danny lied

The usual? Danny asking his father not to kill him is the usual stuff for him? The boys didn't understand but thought that maybe Danny didn't want to talk about it and that's why he said the usual.

'actually I don't feel so good' Danny said and grabbed his chest where his heart was and pulled a face in pain.

'What's wrong?' Dougie asked worried

'I don't kn..' Danny couldn't finish his sentence. There was a long beep. His heart had stopped again.

'NOOO! DOCTOR!' Tom yelled running outside while Dougie was too shocked to move and Harry fell down crying.

They were told to wait outside while the doctor was helping Danny.

DANNY

It was all black. He raised from his body. He saw himself lying in the bed and the doctor who was trying to save him. He was captivated by the sight but distracted by a sound outside his room. He decided to go look.

He found his friends. Tom, Harry and Dougie were sitting there, crying. Several questions popped into his head.

Am I too lost to be saved?
Will they be on the other side?
Will they forget me?

He took a seat next to Dougie and looked at the crying boy.

'You don't need me' he said to him. Of course Dougie couldn't hear him

'None of you need me. I caused you too much pain, it's best for me to go'

He looked at them and said 'It is my choice, it will be my..' he swallowed, scared for the word he was going to say. '..suicide' . Dougie suddenly stood up.

'He's giving up' he said to Harry and Tom who looked at him in shock.

'What?' Harry asked

'He's giving up' Dougie repeated 'he doesn't want to live like this anymore, I feel it'

Danny froze. How did Dougie KNOW this? Could he really feel it? He stood up and walked towards Dougie

'I'm sorry, I really am' He said and hugged him. Dougie could feel something but it was indescribable. He took a deep breath, he knew it was Danny. He had to convince him to stay alive.

'Danny, I know you're here. Don't give up, please. I know you've been through a lot but it's finally over. Your parents are going to jail and you never have to see them again. You'll live with us and we can work on Mcfly. Please Danny, I don't want to let you go. I won't let you face this world alone, I'll be helping. Harry and Tom will be helping as well. You can't give up now after all the fighting you did and to be honest, without you I will be incomplete.'

Harry and Tom were both looking at Dougie as if he was crazy but Danny's eyes were widened. It was scary because Dougie was looking right into his eyes as if he was really there.

'Dougie..' Danny started

'Don't tell me that it's over Danny because it isn't, it really isn't'

Danny looked in Dougie's eyes. Damn this was scary.

'Dougie, 15 minutes have passed, they're going to give up in about 5 minutes. I think we have to accept the fact that Danny isn't waking up' Tom said worried.

But Dougie ignored him and kept looking into Danny's eyes.

'Dougie, can you see me?' Danny asked him ignoring the others as well.

'I can' he replied

Meanwhile Tom and Harry were really worried. Did Dougie really think he was talking to Danny? That just isn't possible, is it?

'How?' Danny asked

'I don't see you with my eyes Danny' he said 'I see you with my heart and the heart never lies'

Danny was shocked and didn't know what to say.

'Look in my eyes Danny. Tell me that you won't give up. Tell me that you'll go back in there and that you'll breathe again. Tell me..' Dougie begged

Danny swallowed and took a deep breath. He looked at the door of his room then at his friends and back again.

'Listen to your heart Danny. Do you really want to die? Do you really want to leave us?' Dougie begged with tears in his eyes. Danny looked at him.

'I can't..' he started but was being cut off by Dougie.

'You CAN! Just go back in there and go back to your body and breathe again!' Tears fell down his cheeks. Danny walked towards Dougie

'Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air' Danny asked him

Dougie froze but quickly recovered

'Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe without you, without MY air. How do you expect me to live without you? My world would suck without you, mate!'

Danny narrowed his eyes and thought about Dougie's words for a few seconds. He then closed his eyes and disappeared.

Dougie panicked. 'Danny? DANNY WHERE ARE YOU?'

'Dougie..' Harry started

Suddenly the door opened. The doctor came out.

'Is.. is he alive?' Tom asked him

The doctor took a deep breath before answering the questioned faces.

So what do you think? R&R?
