Hearing the world

Lets go home

I apologise for any grammer or spelling mistakes as im writing this on my phone and it doesnt have auto correct or anything. Andyway THANK YOU FOR ALL THE READS OMFG I LOVE YOU ALL WOW. Okay and on with the story

Dan's POV:

Phil had gone off to ring Chris and I assume tell him ehats happened. Its still so dark. All the time. Ever since I woke up. Just dark. I want to be able to see again. How am I going to cope? I want to see phil again. I want to see the world. Fuck.

I was currently still in my hospital bed. Just laying and thinking. Phil was still outside on the phone. I could faintly hear mumbles coming from where I assume the door was. I missed him. Phil said I'd only been in a coma for a couple of days. But now I wake up and I cant see. It feels like I havent seen phil in so so long. It actually hurts.

'Dan?' Phil's voice. Footsteps. More than one pair of feet.

'Yeah, where are you?' I said as I heard the footsteps get louder. One pair coming right over to my side, then a warm hand grasping mine.

'Im here Dan' I heard the familiar warm voice whisper in my ear. There was a sudden weight on my bed as Phil sat down next to me still holding my hand.

I got the feeling we were being watched so I decided to ask.

'Phil, who else is here?'

'Its me Chris and Peej is here too Dan.'

I smiled then heard the footsteps again get closer to the opposite side of my bed to where Phil sat.

'Hey Dan.' I heard Peej say and then his arms wrap around me. I hugged back quickly then Chris gave me a squeeze.

'So how are you feeling? When can you go home?' I heard Chris ask.

'Well the doctor said he needs to rest for a couple more hours then he can go home' I could hear the smile in Phil's voice as he spoke. How I wish I could witness that.

'Cool so I guess we should leave you to sleep for a while. We just wanted to see how you were doing mate.' Peej said.

'Okay, thanks guys.' Phil said then he left the bed to say goodbye to Chris and Pj.

*3 hours later*

Phil's POV:

Dan had been sleeping for a couple of hours now. The nurse came in earlier to check him and told me that when Dan wakes up he is free to leave. Which im equally excited and scared about. How am I going to be able to help him. He cant fucking see. How is he going to make youtube videos or walk around the flat or anything. Im a weak idiot, I cant help him.

I looked over to him sleeping. He looked ever so peaceful when he slept. It didnt look like anything was wrong with him. Just a normal person getting some rest. But I know that when he wakes up that facade will leave.

I noticed earlier when I could properly see him in the light that his eyes had gone a silver colour. Like the chocolate brown had just fled. They looked so empty now. I suppose they are. His eyes dont do what they are meant to. They might as well not even be there anymore.

I walked over to him just as he was waking up. I saw those silver irises as he opened his eyes. I had to fight back a tiny cry. Be strong phil. For him. He needs you now.

Dan had cried a bit earlier. I had held him and told him that it was all going to be okay. But truth be told, I had no idea what to do. I really dont know how to look after a blind person. But im going to learn. I will be here for him. Every fucking step.

'Phil?' He called, reaching out his hand like a little helpless toddler wanting to be held.

'Im right here love' I grabbed his hand to show him where I was and a smile spread across his face.

'Can we go home now?'

'Yep, the nurse came in earlier to check you up. She said you could leave as soon as you woke up. As long as you're feeling okay.' I said hearing the concern in my voice.

'Im fine Phil, I just want to get back home. Im sick of laying here.'

'Okay, lets get you home' I smiled and walked over to him. Helped him out of the bed. We talked doctor watson and we were on our way.

*at the flat 15 minutes later, or however long it'd take to get back, I duno*

I held Dan's hand tight as the taxi pulled up outside our home. I payed the driver and opened the door.

'Okay Dan we're home' I squeezed his hand and helped him to get out of the car. The doctor had given Dan a walking stick to help him get around. But it was currently folded up, tucked under my arm as Dan didnt know quite how to use it yet without hitting everyone on the ankle.

We walked up to the front door and got to the elevator. We are definitely not using those stairs for a while. We walked in and I pressed the button for our floor.

'Phil come here a sec' Dan said as we were on our way up.

I walked over to him and held his other hand as well. He then wrapped his arms around my neck tightly giving me a giant hug. I put my arms around his waist and squeezed lightly, great fully hugging back. It felt like ages since I'd hugged him last. I buried my head in his neck and heard him sigh.

'I missed you.' He said into my shirt.

'I missed you too.' I whispered and planted a kiss onto his forehead just as the elevator stopped at out floor and the doors opened.

'Come on Dan, lets get you home.' I said as we pulled out of the hug. I kept my fingers laced around his and led him out of the elevator and over to our door. I got out my keys, unlocked it and pulled Dan through into the flat.

I heard him breath in and out deeply and cautiously followed me through holding both of my hands now. I walked into the living room with him, closing the front door as I went, and placed him down onto the sofa.

I sat next to him and pushed some hair out of his eyes. He felt around on the couch. Running his fingers over the material.

'Im not going to enjoy this.' He breathed and laughed bitterly.

'Dan im so sorry' I said and let a tear slip down my face.

He must of heard the despair in my voice because Dan then shuffled closer to me, lifted my arm up and put it over his shoulders. He snuhgled into my side and drapped his arm over my stomach. I smiled and cuddled him to my chest.

We sat like that until I could hear Dan's breathing turn slow and deep. He was exhausted and so was I. I carefully reached back to grab the blanket from behind the couch and draped it over the two of us. I let my eyes droop shut and slept.
