A different christmas //PHAN\\ (boyxboy)

chapter 16

*PHILS POV*

Once Diana returned with my coffee i thanked her and then we both sat down and drank the coffee, in silence, no conversations. we made short eye contact sometimes and little smiles every now and again. soon enough, she went home. even though we didn't speak, it was nice just to be with a friend.

That night i was allowed into Dan's room, he was asleep when i went in but i sat beside his bed.

He looked so soar... i put my hand on his and whispered, "please be okay love... ill need you to recover, and ill be right here with you every step of the way" i kissed his for head. it was cold but i saw his lips move slightly creating a little smirk. it was adorable.

It was late and i wasn't allowed to be in here long since visiting hours were soon ever, but no nurse ever came to kick me out. they must have forgot so i spent the night with him.

i listened to his deep breaths and watched him sleep, it was perfect, i wanted to cuddle with Dan so badly though but for one there wouldn't be much room and two, i didn't want to hurt him anymore with his crushed rib cage...

the night was long but worth being with my boyfriend... i was worried about him, my full focus was on Dan the whole night. i zone out easily but i never did that night.

i wqas close to drifting off to sleep untill the door opened, it was Diana, both of us jumped as our eyes met both shocked to see each other for just and instant.

"Phil! you shouldnt be in here visiting hours are closed for another two hours!" she yelled-whispered, i stayed silent and looked at Dan and then back to her.

she smied almost a moment later tilting her head, "its alright..." she winked, "our secret, i just have to check up on him okay?"

i nodded, "yeah okay.." smiling back at her and then back to focusing on Dan, wondering if he would wake up any time soon.

"can i get your number?" Diana's voice broke into my thoughts.

"huh?"

"sorry... out of the blue.. i uh i can be awkward like th-that well... so can..?"

i giggled a little, "absolutely."

she giggled too, smiling as i put my number into her phone.

as Diana wondered around the room doing what ever it was she needed to do Dan slowly wiggled a bit waking up.

i felt a smile stretch across my face as my heart was beating, his eyes opened and met mine almost immediately.

"Dan!" i shouted but tried to keep at a respectful volume.

he smiled, it was gorgeous.

"i... love you..." he squnited his eyes at the light, these random words spat out of his mouth for some reason.

i laughed "i love you too dan," i placed my hand onto his face, "thank you for waking up, i missed you,"

"but you stayed here all night you never left!" Diana jumped in once again her awkwardness showing.

"you did! Phil have you slept??" Dan's expression changed from happy to worried.

"no... but i couldnt take my eyes off you i was so scared. Diana told me you were okay but... but i was scared... what happened?" i explained.

"i can hardly remember can i explain a bit later... im kind of hungry at the moment.. who's Diana?"

i looked to Diana who was folding some blankets but peeping up at us with a huge smile which she was trying to hide.

"your nurse, we spoke for a bit, she is really nice!" i smiled at her with a compliment.

Dan turned his head to her who waved like a crazy lady but it was in her own cutesie way.

"ill grab you some food," Diana bolted out of the room.

i looked down into Dan's eyes and then planted and kiss on his lips.

he smiled but looked the other direction. "it was my step dad."

"what?"

"my step dad. he did it but..."

"WHAT?!? THAT BASTARD DID THIS TO YOU!! LIKE HE HADNT DONE ENOUGH ALREADY?!"

"Phil, calm down its... he... he didnt throw the first punch though, i was the one who went for him."

i notcied Dan's voice being week and nervous, so i tried to calm myself down for his sake.

"he is still a fuck wit for this, i SWEAR IM GOING TO KILL HIM!"

But Dan just avoided contact with him awkwardly, he sighed but quickly grunted in pain.

"what? what are you okay??" i quickly asked.

"no... yes... well my chest hurts when i breath like that... i think he crushed my ribs or something.." his voice was dry and his words were long, it made me upset but i just wanted to be with him.

"yeah Diana explained everything to me. you had a fracture in your skull and broken ribs but they did some surgery and we just hope for the best from her on out now."

"ITS CHRISTMAS EVE," he needlessly changed the topic, i shot my head up to the calender across the room, "December 24th" Christmas eve and we're in hospital our Christmas present are beside me in plastic bags and we don't know when Dan can go home.

"yeah... yeah it is..." i stuttered, "ill ask when you can leave because... this isn't the way i wanted our first Christmas together to be,"

coincedently Diana entered the room with some yucky hospital food, but i don't think Dan cares, on the tray was a couple of biscuits in plastic packets, orange juice in a white plastic cup and cough lollies.

"here you go Danny!" her cheery face lit up the room.

"hey Diana.. when can Dan come home? i asked with hope in my voice.

she placed the tray on the bed side table and looked curious herself. "i don't know.. ill ask for you," she left the room once more.

Dan and i looked over to the tray of treats, "looks... good?" i laughed a little and earning a smile of Dan.
