Days went by, and Phil still wasn't waking up. Dan went to visit him every day, talking to him like he could hear, and then going home and praying that the next day he would be awake. 5 days passed.
On the 6th day, Dan woke up, got ready and got into his friends car much like any other day. He got to the hospital, parked up, and walked into Phils room. Only he wasn't in his bed. The brown haired boy began to panic. Where was he? Why wasn't he in bed? What if...then a door opened and out Phil came, in the unflattering hospital gown and a robe.
'Dan!'
'Phil!'
'Perrie!' Nurse Edwards appeared in the doorway smiling. 'Er, I mean, nurse Edwards!' We all laughed, and I pulled Phil into a hug.
'I'm so glad you're okay Phil' He smiled back at me.
'So, are you feeling okay Mr Lester' He shuddered at the unneccesary use of his last name.
'Call me Phil...please!'
'Okay then are you feeling okay...Phil?' Emphasising the Phil in a london accent, even though she has a thick south sheilds accent.
'Yeah, I'm fine thanks' He smiled at her, and she walked away giggling.
Dan then sat down in the armchair, Phil on the bed.
'So, what's it like? You know, being in a coma?'
'It's just like a really long sleep' Dan heaved a sigh of relief. At least Phil wasn't in pain.
'I'd better ring Chris and PJ' Phil looked concerned.
'Do you need to invite Chris? It's his fault I'm in this bed you know?' Dan nodded in agreement.
'Yeah, I know, but if PJ gets invited and Chris doesn't, well, think about what he did to you for simply having an opinion, well who knows...he's just a bad person but he needs to be here' Phil smiled and nodded, but the smile didn't quite reach his eyes. At that moment, the police walked in.
'Hello Mr Lester' Phil opened his mouth to correct him, but he thought better of it.
'We have a few questions for you. Is that okay?' Phil nodded again.
'So, we have to ask you these questions. Can you recall how it happened?' Dan looked at Phil and smiled.
'Well, I was with a friend, and I tripped and the car came round the corner and obviously it hit me' Dan just sat in bewilderment. Why would he try and protect someone who almost killed him?
'And can you give me the name of the friend you were with?'
'Yes, Christopher Kendall, but if you wanted to ask him some questions then you might as well wait, Dan here is just going to give him a call, aren't you Dan?' Phil nudged Dan and gave him the 'Do as I say and don't question me peasant' eyes. Dan exited the room in a state of confusion. He got his phone and dialled the PJ/Chris household.
'Hello?' The sound of Chris' voice made Dan grit his teeth, but for his plan to work he had to pretend to be happy.
'Phil is awake, and the police are also here, and they want to speak to you. And you'd better be fucking grateful to Phil, he lied to keep you out of trouble' Dan whispered the last bit so the police wouldn't hear the lie Phil had blatantly told. He stood there for a while breathing in and out, in and out, trying to psych himself up. He walked up and down the corridor, breathing in and out, when a voice interrupted him from his thoughts.
'A lot on your mind there?' Dan turns to see Charlie there, sipping a milkshake.
'Just a bit. Why are you here then? Surely if your friend broke his hand he'd be home by now?' Charlie nodded and laughed.
'That he is, but my mum had an allergic reaction to something she ate, and went into anaphylactic shock, and the epi pen didn't work, so I drove her here' his voice got a bit choked up, and his eyes grew cloudy, so Dan decided to change the subject.
'Awh, well I'm just kind of, well, someone did something and I don't really under stand why, and now I'm waiting for someone so I can back up what this person said...if that makes sense?' Charlie nodded just as Chris walked through the door with PJ. He forces a smile.
'Hey Chris, Peej' they all hug, and Dan waves to Charlie.
'I hope your mum feels better soon, Charlie' He smile a genuine smile, and follows Chris and PJ into Phil's room.
'Hello there, Mr Kendall' Chris shaked the policemans hand.
'Please, call me Chris'
'Okay, Chris. Now I have a few questions to ask you about Mr Lester's accident. Now I believe you were there when it happened, do you mind recalling how it happened?' Chris looks at Dan, then and Phil. Phil nods.
'It's okay' Phil mouths.
'Well, me and Phil were talking, and he stepped forward, and there was a rock on the ground, and he tripped over it just as the car came around the corner' The guilt was forming in his stomach and he began to feel nauseous.
'Right, okay. Now tell me, were you having an argument or anything?' The guilt was making its way to Chris' head, and he felt dizzy.
'Can you, uh, excuse me a minute' He stands up, but soon after falls to the floor.
'Chris! Chris!' PJ runs to the unconcious boy lead on the floor. 'I think he fainted!'
'Good thing we're in a hospital, eh?' Dan said calmly, trying to make light of the situation. The policeman gets up to call a nurse to the room. When Nurse Edwards gets there, he says 'That's all we need anyway. Thank you Mr Lester, and tell Chris that I hope he feels better' He leaves, and Nurse Edwards helps Chris on to a bed.
*Chris POV*
My eyes flicker open, and I see three boys crowding over me. My eyes adjust and I see my best friend, my ex boyfriend, and the boy I almost killed.
'Hey Chris. You okay?' PJ smiled at me.
'No, my head hurts. What happened?'
'The police were asking you some questions and you fainted' I sit up. Dan sits in the armchair by Phils bed, and Phil sits on his bed. Pj sits on the armchair next to my bed.
'Am I in trouble with the police?' PJ shakes his head.
'Phil told them that he tripped, and you told them that too' I look over at Phil. He doesn't look like he's in any pain, but he's been in a coma. I did that to him. Why should he cover for me? Why should I lie just to protect myself? Then I look at Dan. He's laughing at something Phil said. I did this because he broke up with me. He must have known he didn't like me, and Phil was just an opinion. Why did I have to take it too far, just like I always do?! I always hear something, and if I don't like it, I'll do whatever I can to make things go my way. This must be why I can't ever stay with a boy for more than a week. Because if they say something that I don't like, I'll have a go at them.
'Chris? Chris, why are you crying?'
'Because,' I whisper, 'I put an innocent person in a coma for having an opinion. And this is why nobody wants to be with me' PJ strokes my hand reassuringly.
'You'll find someone one day, Chris. You're still young remember!' I smile at PJ. He always knows the right thing to say to make me feel better. That's why he's my best friend.
New chapter for you guys! I feel like my writing is getting better, and its all because of your amazing reviews! Thank you so much to my best friend Shannon Crespin, she's been motivating me to update (and by motivating I mean peer pressuring... Joking!) So thank you Shannon!
In other news, I'm going to be on the Dan and Phil radio 1 show tomorrow! (17/03/13) I will be representing Conor Maynard in Fan Wars, which is soooo awesome, because I got to speak to Dan and Phil on the phone!
R+R for infinite diamond llamas!
