(Dan's pov)
My heart sank. I felt numb.
"Dan! Do something!" My little brother said grabbing my mum's hand, crying into her chest.
I didn't move. I couldn't move.
"Dan!" My little brother yelled bawling his eyes out. That snapped me out of my paralyzed stage. I walked over, my cheeks and eyes were burnig. I knew I was going to cry.
"Tyler," I said calmly, "When did she get home? Did she say anything when she got home? Did she just pass out?" By this time I myself, was crying.
"Sh-she came home t-ten minutes ago a-and just f-fell," Tyler cried. I didn't see my mothers chest move.
"Tyler," I said calmly even though I was dead on the inside, "Go to your room. I will call an ambulance, she probably just passed out from eating too much." Or had a heart attack, or a stroke, or she was over worked. All of the worst things that could have happened, was going through my mind.
"B-but," Tyler stuttered.
"Now," I said harshly. He walked up stairs, I could tell he was scared to death. And to be completely honest, I was too.
"Hello?" I heard a voice say. It was Phil, I forgot he was even here. Great, a person I met for not even a day already saw me cry, great.
"We need an ambulance! Now!" Phil said. That made me cry less. I kept my face turned away from him so he didn't have to see me cry because that would be so embarrassing.
"Dan," Phil said placing his hand on my shoulder, "Look at me."
"No," I cried. I was too embarrassed and scared. That is when Phil sat down by me. I took my mum's hand and tried to feel her pulse. It was there, but it was slow. I cried again, I didn't think that she was alive but this gave my hope.
"Dan," Phil repeated, "Please, look at me."
"Why?"
"Please," he said before he took his hand off my back. I turned slightly towards him.
"Happy?" I asked.
"No," he said, "My best friend is crying. Why would I be happy?" Best friend?
I looked all the way at him.
(Phil's Pov) He turned to me. My heart sunk in my chest. His face was red and tear stained. I could tell there were tears fighting to leave his eyes. He looked so broken. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to fix him... I wanted to be his hero.
I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I did something crazy that I never thought I would get the chance to do. I hugged Dan. He broke down in tears. There were tears at my eyes but I was fighting to hold them back. Dan collapsed on me. He hugged my back and dug his head into my chest. He was so broken. More than before.
"Phil, I'm so scared," Dan said in between sobs. I hugged him harder.
"Dan, everything will be alright," I assured him. I didn't know about that but I needed to stay strong for him. The ambulance shortly arrived.
"Move!" One of the men screamed. Dan and I jumped to the side. I was still holding him.
