A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry it's taken so long to get this chapter out, but thank you for being so patient with me. I love all of you, and as always...ENJOY!!!
Dan's POV:
So the session wasn't...awful, to say the least. I'm rolling Phil around the hospital to give him a change of scenery and to let me process what all has happened in what seems like such a short amount of time. I look at Phil, who's gazing around, and sometimes smiling weakly. I smile and feel tears welling in my eyes as I wonder if he'll ever truly smile again. I let my mind drift off a bit to the session.
It hadn't been particularly interesting. I stayed in the room with Phil for a bit before letting myself out so he could have time with his therapist alone. I played on my phone waiting until the lady had finally opened the door, wheeling Phil out. When she went back into her room after a few words were exchanged between her and Phil, I finally looked away from my phone. I saw Phil staring at me. Not angry or sad anymore, just slightly confused and determined, as if I was a puzzle worth solving. I asked him what he wanted to do, which led us to where we are now, strolling through the halls.
"Dan." I hear Phil say.
"Hmm?" I reply, not really paying attention.
"I....I'm tired. Can you take me to my room please?"
"Of course." I say, smiling softly. I turn us around and start heading back to his room. When we reach there, I call in a nurse to help him get into bed.
I am about to head out the door to let Phil sleep when I hear him say softly, "Dan, before you leave...can I ask you a question?"
I turn around and walk back to his bed, "Yeah."
He looks down and quietly asks, "D-do you think I'll get out of this hospital soon?"
I smile and nod. Then he shakes his head, "I don't even know if your real..."
He looks at me with tears in his eyes as he bites his lip, "I really hope you are...I miss you."
Then he lays down and goes to sleep as I leave, crying as well.
