As soon as Dan made it to the hospital, his phone beeped. He grabbed it and checked the notification. He had a text from Phil's mum.
"Dan! I've tried to call Phil, but he won't answer. Is something wrong?"
With a sinking feeling in his stomach, he sent a reply.
"Uh, there might have been a slight accident."
"What?!"
Dan could almost hear Mrs. Lester's shriek.
"Yeah, I'm at the hospital now. I'll text you in about twenty minutes with an update."
Dan put his phone on silent and stuck it back in his pocket. Only then did he realize that he was wearing his plaid pyjama pants. He blushed; how had he forgotten? He walked up to the women at the front desk. Her greasy blonde hair stuck in strands to her sweat covered face as he walked up to her.
"Hi, I've come for Phil Les-" he began.
"No visitors," she replied tiredly.
"But I'm his-"
"I don't care if you're his sister, sir. No visitors."
"Y' know, I can see why they say blondes are stupid."
"Excuse me?" She had a scowl on her face.
"Well, they're getting insulted because people like you exist." Dan said smoothly, a smirk adorning his face.
"Sir, I-"
"Oh, let me go somewhere else. Don't want to waste all that brain power you're generating." And with that, he left.
He strolled towards the ER, and saw the EMT that helped him.
"Um, Sir, can you help me?" Dan asked him. The EMT frowned. "Sir?" He tried again.
"Uh, yes. Finding your friend." He pointed down the hallway behind Dan. "He's down there, in room 384."
"Thanks," said Dan, as he dashed off. He dodged the doctors and patients that swarmed the hospital like ants, and soon found the branch of the hallway with a sign saying 380. His breathing sped up as he continued down the hallway. Rooms 381 and 382 passed, and as he strode past room 383, a doctor came out of the next room.
"Hello, sir. Why are you in a hurry?" The doctor asked. Dan hesitated for a second before responding.
"I'm visiting my friend. Phil."
"Phil Lester? Oh no, he isn't having any visitors at the moment."
"Why not?" Dan asked nervously.
"Why, the poor man suffered a heart attack! He's lucky to be alive! He's being rushed to surgery at this very second!"
And with those words, Dan did the only thing he could do; he collapsed into darkness.
_What will happen to Dan? Will Phil survive? Tune in next time for more!Also, please review! I only got three reviews for last chapter. Reviews directly affect my writing speed, and how quickly the next chapter comes out!(That and whether I remember my algebra homework!)By the way, the next chapter might be slightly late, as I've written both of these chapters on free days from school.-Ember
