Catch Me Before I Fall (A Phanfiction)

Chapter 37

*Phil's POV*

Its been three days since the club incident, Dan said he wasn't mad at me but I could tell he was still upset about it, he didn't talk too much and every time I'd tried being intimate he'd make up an excuse that he's tired. I have to make it up to him, I could get him something to show how sorry I am. "Babe I'm going to the store" I said grabbing my coat "Its getting dark, want me to come with you?" He asked "I'm not a kid, I'll be back quick I promise" I kissed his cheek and left. I thought it would be better to walk since the buses run really slow in the evening time, I walked along the sidewalk and couldn't help but feel like something was wrong, I kept getting a bad feeling. "Phil" I heard someone say sternly, I turned around and froze in fear, it was Ben's friend Bob "W-what are you doing here?" I asked him trying not to sound scared "Revenge for a friend" he said pulling out a gun, I heard three shots fire and I instantly fell to the ground grabbing my chest, my vision blurred "HEY!" I heard a random man shout and Bob ran away, and then everything went black.

*Dan's POV*

Was I being too hard on Phil? He apologized so many times and I would just blankly say "Its okay Phil" I know he didn't mean to lose control. I looked at the time he had been gone for a while now I was worried. My phone rang, it was my mum "Hey mum, what's up?" I asked "Dan honey you need to come down to the hospital quick... Its Phil" I didn't ask questions I hung up and grabbed my coat. I texted Nina as Peter was on vacation with his family for spring break and caught the bus to get to the hospital.

"What happened? Where is he?" I asked my mum crying as soon as I got to the hospital, she looked at me with sad eyes "Honey, Phil was shot 3 times in the chest, a man saw it happening and he quickly brought him here" she explained "W-wheres Phil? I-is he alive?" I asked and she hugged me "They're trying their best Dan, he's alive but in very bad condition" Phil was dying, I knew I shouldn't have let him go alone, and now he's dying and most probably his last days with me was me being an asshole. "P-phil's dying" I sobbed "Dan listen, they're trying their best okay, I need you to stay strong" she said hugging me tight. Nina arrived moments later "Where's Phil" she asked worried "H-hes dying" I cried, she stood in shock, tears formed in her eyes "Dan.." My mum whispered "Tell me the truth mum, he's dying isn't he? I'm right aren't I?" I sobbed "I'm sorry honey" she whispered. "I need Dad" I said trying to calm myself and she nodded and left to call him. I sat on a chair and sobbed, Nina sat next to me and grabbed my hand "I-I should be planning my wedding, n-not thinking about p-planning a f-funeral" I cried "Dan I'm sorry" she whispered. "Daniel?" I looked up and my dad stood in front of me, I got up and hugged him tightly and cried "Daddy, Phil's dying, he's going to die" he hugged me tighter "No no, listen to me, he will be perfectly fine, he's a strong boy" my dad assured me, I felt comfort I didn't believe him but I felt a bit of comfort I had bonded with my dad a lot, I just hugged him and cried. "W-why does everyone want to take Phil away from me. Why can't they let us be happy?" I cried not letting go of my dad. "Robert" the doctor came in calling my dad "How's Phil?" I asked him "Not good I'm afraid, he's not responsive.." He said sadly "Isn't there anything you can do? You have to save him!" I yelled "we could try a transplant, his heart is damaged. But there's very little chance it'll work" he explained "DO IT" I shouted and my dad nodded at him, he knew that we had to try everything. The doctor left to start the procedure and I couldn't take it anymore, I fell onto the ground and broke down again, I couldn't loose Phil he's the best thing I have in life I kept crying while my dad and Nina tried comforting me, suddenly I couldn't breathe I made choking noises as I struggled to breathe "He's having an asthma attack" my dad said with his arms around me, Nina grabbed my coat and pulled out my inhaler and helped me, I took a deep breath "Dan, please try to relax" my dad said softly helping me sit on the chair. "I have to go and talk to Phil's dad, I won't be able to get permission for him to come here until tomorrow, he needs someone there" he explained "P-phil m-might be d-dead then dad" I sobbed "No don't say that, I promise he will be okay, just hang on" he said before leaving. Nina sat next to me and squeezed my hand "Dan I'm really sorry, I don't know what to say" she whispered "My fiancé will possibly die" I sobbed and she hugged me "Dan, if you need help with anything.." I knew what she meant "I-I'll be fine" I whispered but then started crying again hugging her back. I don't know when I fell asleep, and I don't know how long I was asleep for I woke up to Nina's voice, my head was rested on her shoulder "Dan wake up" she whispered "Its about Phil" I instantly woke up "W-what?" I asked my voice was shaky, she had tears in her eyes "Dan i-it's a miracle, the surgery was successful, he's going to be okay" she smiled with tears pouring down her cheek, the doctor came in "This is very rare Daniel, Philip is really really lucky" I felt like a weight had been lifted "Can I see him?" I asked and he nodded "Yes, he should wake up soon, but remember he's weak please don't stress him out" he explained. "Dan, Peter said he's taking the next flight home, he said his parents agreed so he will be here in a day or two" Nina said "Thanks Nina" I gave her a quick hug before going to Phil's room. He was asleep, he had IV drips and oxygen tubes, I sat on the chair and grabbed his hand "P-phil?" His eyes opened, he was awake "B-bear?" he whispered really quietly, he was really weak "Yes I'm here babe" I said softly kissing his hand "I-Im sorry, for the past few days" he could barely talk "Sshh don't talk, its okay I'm sorry for being bitter" I tried so hard not to cry, it was a little chilly in the room so I got up to fix his blanket, I lifted it a bit and saw his scar,it was huge it started from his chest straight down till his ribs, Phil just stared at me with sad eyes, he didn't say anything, I leaned in and kissed his lips really softly, a small smile appeared the corner of his lip I tried to smile but tears started streaming down my face, Phil gently squeezed my hand "don't cry bear" he whispered I wiped my tears away. "Dan honey Phil needs to sleep now" my mum said. "I'll be outside when you wake up" I whispered kissing his forehead he nodded as he was still too weak to say too much, I left the room leaving mum to give him his medication so he can sleep.

The next day he was still weak but he could still talk. My dad was able to get Phil's father to visit but with a restricted time until everything cleared. He walked in and saw the scar "Dad please no" Phil said quietly, his dad grabbed his hand "How are you doing?" He asked "I-Im okay.. Dad it was a friend of Ben's" Phil said "He's been caught don't worry son" his dad whispered his eyes went back to his scar "Dad please don't stare at it" he frowned and his dad looked at him "I'm sorry. I have to leave for stuff at court, I will be back soon" he promised he kissed Phil's head and left. I sat on the side of Phil's bed and he sighed. My eyes scanned his scar, it was huge it pained me "Please don't stare bear. It makes me look more ugly" he sobbed silently "No babe I wasn't" I said quickly "Yes you were, it looks ugly" he sobbed, I stroked his cheek "You're anything but ugly, you're beautiful" I whispered and he shook his head "I'm destined to have all these horrible marks and this horrible luck" he cried "Babe don't cry, what's important is that you're okay" I whispered fixing his blanket and placing a kiss on his nose. "Everyone keeps staring, even Nina was staring, I look awful" he whispered "Everyone is still in shock bear, we almost lost you it was scary" I whispered, I should try distracting him "Remember once you're out of here we need to do some serious wedding planning okay?" I smiled, he smiled slightly and nodded.
