Hey guys,

I hope you enjoy the chapter :)

WARNING: BULLYING

Dan's P.O.V.

IMessage from Phil 11:29 AM

you promise me to visit me after school?

I sighed softly, a small smile playing on my lips reading Phil's message. Phil was at home since he wasn't feeling well.

IMessage to Phil 11:30 AM

yes Phil.

IMessage from Phil 11:30 AM

promise?

I chuckled out loud.

IMessage to Phil 11:31 AM

I promise Phil.

I continued to text Phil, leaning up against my locker when my phone was suddenly knocked out of my hand, it crashing to the floor.

"What the fuck dude?!" I yelled.

As I looked up into the eyes of the person who just broke my fucking phone, my eyes widened.

Jonathan.

"What was that Howell?" He spat out at me.

He shoved me against a locker, holding me there by the collar of my shirt.

"Lester's not here to protect you today." He said, letting one hand release his grip on me, only for it to swing around and punch me square in the jaw. I cried out in pain, reaching up for my jaw as I desperately tried to get out of grip, hoping someone would come help... but no one did. Everyone just kept on walking by, pretending not to see a thing.

The hits kept coming. Mean words were spilling out of his mouth. After awhile of this abuse, I just felt numb. I couldn't feel the hits anymore.

Blood was pouring out everywhere. It was one more shot to the head and everything went black...

3rd Person P.O.V.

The hits kept going on, hurting Dan all the more.

Jonathan took a step back before swinging his arm around once more, knocking Dan right in the side of head, causing him to black out.

"HEY!" A person yelled.

Jonathan was tackled to the ground by some kid just as PJ turned the corner. His eyes widened seeing his best friend lying on the floor, not moving. He ran over to him limp friend as fast as his legs could take him, dropping down beside him.

"SOMEONE CALL 999! HE'S NOT BREATHING!" PJ cried.

"Dan, come on Dan, stay with me here." PJ pleaded his best friend.

But he got no response...

~~~~~Hours Later~~~~~

Phil's P.O.V.

"Damn it." I mumbled under my breath.

"What's the matter Phil?" My mum asked me.

"Dan said he was going to come over after school but it's already almost 4 and he's not answering any of my phone calls or texts. They're not even going through anymore."

"Maybe something came up honey." She said shrugging slightly.

"But it's so unlike him for him not to tell me. He normally tells me everything mum."

"Phil honey, if you're so worried, why don't you call his brother? You have his number don't you?" She asked.

"Oh yeah. Good idea, thanks mum."

She kissed my head and went back to cleaning the dishes.

I opened up Adam's contact and brought the phone to my ear, waiting as it rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Adam, it's Phil. I just wanted to see if you knew where Dan was. He hasn't been answering any of my calls or texts."

"Oh um Phil, I don't know how to tell you this."

My face contorted in confusion. "What? Tell me what? Is something wrong?" I asked, suddenly very afraid of his next response.

"Phil? What's going on?" My mum suddenly asked from where she was standing. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Dan broke his phone this morning." He started to say.

I let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank god. I thought something really-" He cut me off mid-sentence.

"That's not it Phil."

"What? Adam, seriously you're scaring me. What is going on? Where the hell is Dan?"

He sighed. "Dan... He's in the hospital."

My eyes widened in disbelief. "What are you talking about? I was just talking to him this morning. Why is he in the hospital?"

There was a long silence on the line, before I heard him let out a long breath.

"He's in a coma Phil."

My whole world came to a crashing stop, my phone falling out of my hand and crashing on to the floor beneath me.

"Phil, sweetheart? What's wrong? What happened?" My mum was asking all these question.

"I... I..."

"Phil? Phil?..." I heard Adam's voice come out of my phone's speaker but I wasn't able to bring myself to pick it up.

So my mum did. She picked up the phone and brought it to her ear.

"Hello Adam? This is Phil's mum. What's going on? Phil looks like he's seen a ghost."

I watch as my mum's face falls. "Oh my gosh, is-is he going to be okay? Is he going to wake up?"

Suddenly hearing those words made something click inside of me. Without even a second glance, I darted out of the kitchen and quickly put on my shoes.

"Phil?!" My mum called.

"I-I have to go. I have to see him mum." I cried.

"Then I'm coming with you. Come on, I'll drive."

She handed me my phone and I noticed that Adam was still on the line.

"Adam?" I choked out.

"We're in hospital room 107 on floor 5."

And with that, I heard a beeping sound indicating the call had ended.

I shoved my phone into my pocket and dash out of the house, my mum right on my trail.

When we get into the car, I let my head hit the back of the headrest, the tears I've holding it falling down my face.

The cars starts and we pull out of the driveway and we're on our way. My mum places her hand on my shoulder and gives it a gentle squeeze.

"He's going to be okay Phil. You didn't leave him when you were in the hospital, he's not going to leave you now."

I stayed silent, choking on sobs thinking about Dan. I just need to see him...

dun dun dun
