Don't leave me... 《Unfinished》

Chapter 7

Dan sits in the waiting room patiently.
The doctor then walks into the waiting room, "Daniel Howell?"
Dan jumps up, "Yes? That's me."
"Hello I'm Dr. Peters. I have news on your friend Philip Lester," she says while leading Dan down the hallway.
"Is he okay?" Dan asks worriedly. She hesitates but says, "Well yes, we think. He is doing...okay.. But I need to ask, has he been sick for long?"
"Yeah, he has been complaining for almost a whole month but he refused to come to the doctor.. " Dan says.
Dr. Peters then deeply sighs and rubs her neck, "Well this makes everything worse... "
Dan stops, "Wait...worse?!"
The doctor turns and looks at Dan sympatheticly and says, "His illnesses very advanced. It's difficult to treat because like you said, it had time to develop. Invasive illnesses that are also chronic are very life-threatening. When they last a long time, it gives the disease time to spread through the body. You're lucky it wasn't contagious."
"Can't you operate on him or do something to help?!" Dan yells.
"I'm sorry it's inoperable... Just follow me please," she says as she starts walking again.
Dan proceeds to follow the doctor and doesn't say anything until they reach Phil's hospital room.

Dan's pov~
We walk into the room and I see Phil's limp body laying on the bed. He is wearing a nasal cannula and looks paler than usual.
"Phil... "
I walk up to his bed and pull up a seat and sit next to the bed.
"The illness is very generalized which means that it's affecting most of his body and not just one area. It's also degenerative, it's gradually getting worse.. " Dr. Peters says.
Looking at Phil... I can't help but feel like crying...
The doctor touches my shoulder and says, "I'll give you some time alone... " then walks out of the room.
I run my hand through Phil's jet black hair.
"Phil I'm sorry... " I whisper while trying to hold back tears.
"I should've brought you too the doctors sooner but I didn't... "
Phil then shifts and starts to open his eyes slowly.
"Phil?!"
"Dan.. " he says weakly.
"Phil I'm so sorry! I should've brought you sooner and now..."
Phil weakly looks at me with his beautiful blue eyes and says, "It's not your fault... I'm okay... Don't worry about me."
I stay with Phil for atleast 3 more hours before I had to go back home.
I didn't want to leave him. What if something happened while I was gone? I don't like being in the house alone. It gets really scary at night and I end up leaving all the lights on...
Phil please get better... I hate being here without you...
