My Silly Boy

21

*2 weeks later*

Chris has stayed with me for the whole two weeks and we visited Dan and Phil in the hospital everyday.

Phil got his wires off yesterday, Dan is still in his coma, and Megan hasn't left the psychiatric ward.

We met Phil in the gift shop at the hospital.

"What are you doing here?" Chris asked him.

"Oh, I was just discharged." Phil answered.

"Buying something for Dan?" I aksed.

Phil looked down at his hand. He was holding a lion finger puppet. He nodded.

"Should we go see him?" I asked.

Phil nodded again and we let the shop together. We took the elevator up to see Dan. He was still in his coma.

Phil placed the finger puppet on Dan's finger and held his hand. "I'm sorry for yelling at you." He whispered.

The doctor walked in.

We all looked up at him.

"It seems that hes not progressing." He started to speak. "We plan to pull the plug by the end of the week."

Phil fell to his knees. Chris and I huddled around him.

"Dan." He whispered. "I'm so sorry."

My shirt was wet with his tears.

I truly hope that Dan can pull through this.

Phil grabbed onto my shirt. "Tell me this is just a bad dream." He said while sobbing.

Chris patted Phil's back. "I wish it was, Phil."

We all started crying as we held Phil in our arms.
