Arms (A Danisnotonfire fanfiction)

Chapter Four

It has been a couple weeks and Phil still hasn't woken up. His parents left two weeks ago to go back home until they can make plans for a longer stay. I stay as much as I can with him sleeping there every once in awhile when the doctors let me and going there from visiting hours to as long as they let me. I know a lot of people there but not well because I hardly ever leave Phil's side, he could wake up anytime now.

I pull up to the hospital and sign in before heading up to his room smiling to some people before reaching his room. I open the door to see him still lying there. He has gotten paler if that's even possible, and I ache to see his vibrant blue eyes again. I take a seat in my normal chair and pull the safety railing on the side of his head. I rest my head on his chest as I listen to his breathing and heart monitor.

"You would want me to call Dan", I say starting to talk to him like I always do.

"You would say he needed to know."

"And then you would get your hopes up and wait for the door to open and see him."

"Like I did all those months he left."

"I think I still hope every time my phone rings."

"But he won't Phil, he left us."

"But you would still want me to call..."

"I'm scared though Phil..."

"And you would say overcoming it would be calling him."

I sigh and sit up pulling out my phone.

I grab Phil's hand and take a deep breath before going down to the 'DON'T YOU DARE' contact and sigh clicking on it. "This is for you Phil", I say before hitting the call button.

It rings.

And rings...

And rings...

Rings.

Rings.

Rings.

Rings.

And...

"Hey it's Dan, sorry I missed your call, I'll get back to you as soon as possible, just leave your number and all that. But if you're a fan I'm sorry but this is not Dan Howell"

And so it began...

I take a deep breath before beginning the voicemail.

"H-Hey Dan...uh look I know I said I wasn't going to call but-oh my god!"

Phil's hand squeezed in mine suddenly.

I hang up the phone throwing it on the bed beside me and leaping up. Was I imagining it or was, was Phil moving. It looks like Phil's eyes are moving beneath his eye lids. His hand tight around mine and then I hear him groan.

His eyes flutter open and he looks at me.

"Oh my god Phil oh my god you're alive oh my god!"

"Doctor, Doctor!!"

"Becca", his weak voice says and I smile tears already pouring out of my eyes.

I hug him and he hugs me back.

"Oh my god you're awake, I was so worried."

"I'm here now Becca I'm here...where's Dan?"

My heart drops.

Before I can ask him what he means the doctors come rushing in and inspect.

I'm forced out of the room and stand outside pacing and it only makes it worse that I forgot my phone in the room. I jump around and other things until they finally open the door. "You can come in now", a nurse says. I nod and walk in and see Phil sitting up confused. "B-Becca it's true? I was in an accident", he says. I nod and he rubs his face. "T-that's crazy, was I using your car?" he asks. "N-No Phil you were using yours..." I say. He then chuckles. "I don't have a car Becca", he says and I look at him in shock. "You've had it for 2 years Ph-"
