So far but so close

Chapter 3.

I sighed. It all happened so fast. Phil left. I slept. Now he's nearly dead and i'm by his side holding his hand watching him somewhat recover. I think I've been here for at least 4 hours now. Phil's mom went home to get some rest for work.

~FLASHBACK~
"Hey Dan. I need to get some rest. I got work in a few hours."

I nodded. 

"Alright i guess." I watched as she went by Phil's side and squeezed his hand. She then brushed her hand on the side of his face and kissed his forehead. 

"Get better darling." 

I followed her to the door and watched as she left. It grew quiet with the beeping of the monitor. Though the life support machine was doing the breathing for him, i watched his chest rise up and down slowly just as if Phil was breathing on his own. I guess technically i could be considered a guardian to him. I mean with the condition i was in i looked like a worrying parent with weary eyes like an old mans. Could this time be a perfect time to confess...? I pondered on this question for a second. Thinking of possible outcomes that could happen if i did. What if he woke up in the middle of me saying it? 

'That's irrational.'

What if the doctor came in?

'Well then you're screwed Dan.'

What if nothing happens? 

'...'

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. So instead of saying anything, i kept my mouth shut. A few more minutes passed what seemed like eternity until i heard a knock. I stood up as the doctor walked in. 

"Hello doctor." I smiled. Though i was not in the mood for it. He smiled back and went to check on Phil. He checked his pulse and injuries. He also checked recent and past monitor sheets.

"He seems to be doing well for what happened." The doctor said. I smiled.

'That's good at least.'  

"But...."

'Oh god.'

"That's only right now. Things could possibly change over the course of his recovery. This is something us doctors have to think about." He glanced at me and looked back at his chart. Then, without saying a word, he left. I think i needed a break too. I began to put my chair back where it originally was and headed towards the door. Phil's mom left me a key to the house incase i needed to freshen up. Before i left i took at Phil. I was relieved to know that he was going to get better. Then my emotions kicked in. This time not sadness or anger but love. My hand slid for the hospital door as i made my way towards Phil. My heart was racing. I couldn't control myself. Just as quickly as i made my way toward Phil, i found my lips on his forehead with my hands pushing away his hair. Yep i had a crush on him alright..

......

Because i left my car at her house, i took a bus. The bus, although was crowded, smelled like cheese, and had crying kids all the time, was not the bad. And luckily for me i was the first stop. 

"Thank you!" I said handing the driver his money. He nodded and closed the bus door once i was on the sidewalk. Then grabbing the key to the house and taking a short walk TO the house, i opened it. 

"Man it's been forever since i've been in here." Phil's house which was a two story old fashioned house had Phil written all over it. A mixture of anime and old fashioned collectibles were scattered bringing a slightly odd decor to the living room. A cream colored couch which looked as if someone poured butter on it in some places, was to the right. Then a huge flat screen was mounted on the wall. 

'They had everything.' Old to new to Phil...I walked around a bit looking at pictures and stuff until i found the bathroom. I needed clothes so i stole some from Phil's suitcase. A Llama sweater and black skinny jeans. 

"Oh God.." His clothes yet stylish were revolting to me. But i stuck it up and dealt with it. 

"Shower time!" I yelled as i made my way to the shower. After this, I'm going back up to the ER!
