Skittles and tea

Chapter Thirteen

                                                                                    Dan's POV

We did everything we could over the next few days to make PJ's final days happy, but we could see how depressed he was. Chris hadn't stopped crying all day, Phil never did tell us about the little chat that he had with PJ, but he was choking back tears too. I had gone to the canteen to fetch PJ some tea, I was just paying when Chris dawdled over to me, eyes bloodshot and face pale as ever. 

 "Hey Chris" I put my hand on his shoulder. 

"Are you getting tea?" I felt a lump in my throat, Chris could barely speak and I could hear the heartbreak in his voice.

"Yeah, did you want something?" 

"S... Skittles" he choked, waddling over to the sweets and picking up a share bag, I took it off him and he went to give me the money for them, I stopped him.

"It's okay I'll get them" I smiled, Chris forced a smile back, I sighed.

"Look" I began, putting my hand on his shoulder again.

"If you want some time alone to say goodbye to PJ" Chris stopped me.

"Say goodbye? No, no I don't need to say goodbye" he almost sounded angry.

"Yeah but Chris, if you don't then you're gonna regret it forever"

"No I mean I don't need to say goodbye because he's not going anywhere, he's going to be okay, he's going to get through this, just you watch" Chris snatched the skittles and left the canteen.

Author's note: Woah hey it's been so long D: I've been trying to find the inspiration to continue writing, I've been house bound for over a month but I've been in so much pain I've not really felt like doing anything :( I'm going to the doctor's some time in the week to find out what this is, I think it's an ear infection ahh ear ache sucks. I'm sorry that this chapter is so short and I'm sorry that it's getting sadder! I will be posting chapter fourteen later on today, I need to go take my dog for a walk!
