Phil P.O.V.

"Owww! Phil, help me!" Dan calls from our bathroom.

Dan's leg pain has been getting worse and worse to the fact we had to come home early from our honeymoon.

"What's wrong, love?" I ask.

"I can't shower right now. Please help me, the pain is so bad." Dan sobs.

"I'm calling 999. This is getting way out of hand." I say, starting to panic.

"999, what's your emergency?"

"Hi, my husband is in excruciating pain in his leg and literally can't walk without crying in pain."

"An ambulance is on its way."

I hang up as soon as I can to go to the bathroom and support Dan.

"How does it hurt love?" I ask.

"Well, it's like a super bad pain that spreads for minutes and I can't walk or stand without falling." Dan says between cries of pain.

All I can do is worry and care about him. So that's what I'll do.

"999, we're here with an ambulance." They say behind us. So Dan is out on a stretcher and brought down the elevator.

"Can I come with him? I'm his husband and I'm the only one who can comfort him." I say.

"Of course, sir." The paramedic says.

As we are in our way to the hospital, Dan has an IV put in his arm, and cries in pain from his leg. I don't say anything. I can't say anything. It hurts too much.

"We're at the hospital, let's go." The paramedic says.

I hop out of the ambulance, and Dan is carefully lifted out on the gurney.

He starts getting wheeled in very fast, and with my lack of exercise, its difficult for me to run. Yet, I do. For Dan, I'd run marathons for him to be okay.

We soon arrive to an emergency room, and Dan is placed on a hospital bed. Of course, I sit right next to him, rubbing his hand.

"A doctor will be with you momentarily." The paramedic says, and I just nod.

"Dan, does it still hurt?" I ask softly.

"Y-yes. They can do fucking anything. Just get this pain away." He cries.

My heart drops to my stomach at the sight and sound of him like this. His pain has been increasing, but it was never as bad as this. We had the tears, screams of help and pain, but those only went on for a couple minutes. This was an hour.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Michelson. Now, Dan, tell me what's wrong."

"Well, for the past month, I've experienced the worst leg pain in the whole world. It's been the worst today. It's actually starting agahhh." Dan says.

"Dan, you need a CAT scan immediately." The doctor panics.

"I'm his husband, can I come too?" I ask.

"Yes, of course."

Although I'm not allowed in the same room as the CAT scan, I am allowed to sit right outside. And after an hour of waiting, the CAT scan is finished.

Dan walks out with tears on his face, he was in pain.

"Phil, I think I know." Is all Dan says.

"You know what?" I ask, panic rising.

"You'll find out." With Dan saying this kind of stuff, I can't help but worry. What the hell does he know that I don't?!

Dan leads me back to the hospital room, and sits on the bed, me beside him. He was in pain, but he wanted to stay strong. I knew we were getting bad news.

When the doctor comes in, I prepare for the worst.

"Hello, Lester's. So, I have the results of the CAT scan. Dan, does your family have a history in cancer?" He asks. Then, I know.

"Y-yes, sir. My mother died recently of cancer."

"Dan, I'm sorry, but you have stage four cancer in your left leg." The doctor says.

Dan and I start crying at the same time. Very hard.

"What happens now, Doc?" Dan asks.

"We can proceed with removal and you have a larger chance of survival, or you can keep it, and have a shorter life."

"Off with my leg then." Dan says.

"The surgery will be in two weeks." The doctor says.

I don't speak through any of this. I can't. It hurts.

On our way home from the hospital, I stop in Brighton. I want to do something that's important to me.

We are walking down the boardwalk, and I sit Dan and I down near the water.

"Phil, what are you doing?" Dan asks. That's when I start singing. (A.N song in above thing)

"You'd know I'd fall apart without you. I don't know how you do what you do.
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me. It makes sense when I'm with you.

When I wrap you up, when I kiss your lips, I, I wanna make you feel wanted. I wanna call you mine, wanna hold your hand forever, and never let you forget it. 'Cause baby, I wanna make you feel wanted.

As good as you make me feel, I wanna make you feel better. Better than your fairy tales, better than your best dreams, you're more than everything I need. You're all I ever wanted."

I sang the song Wanted because that's how I felt about Dan. And all I will feel throughout this whole process.

"Phil, you can sing?" He asks.

"Yeah, I can sing. I took singing classes almost all my life, and I just didn't want to tell you."

"That was beautiful, Phil. You're all I ever want too." Dan says, staring at the beautiful sunset off the boardwalk.

"We're going to make it through this aren't we?" I ask him.

"Of course, my love. We always do."
