Meet Me At Rosy's (phanfiction university au)

Chapter 12 (tw)

Well this is the last chapter before the epilogue. Enjoy :)

I nodded at the nurse in the doorway and he left us with a smile.
"How are you?" Dan asked after a moment of silence.
"Regretful," Was all I said. I looked up and met his sad, lonely eyes. His face fell.
"This is all my fault. The whole reason you... You know," Dan cried. A tear fell from his eyes, eyes that had lost all hope.
"No, Dan," I put my hand in his which was in the edge of my bed.
"Phil, I'm so sorry I left you alone. I never meant to hurt you. I just got caught up with all th-the," Dan searched for the words. I knew what he was looking for. It may seem stupid and high school-ish, but the popular kids. Or cooler kids. Those were the people that went to parties, had their own, and always got laid at bars.
"I know, I know," I held tears behind closed eyelids. He abandoned me for the party kids. I didn't know what to think of him anymore. Should I trust him to come back?
"I promise," He turned his hand over to hold mine. He tightened his grip. "I will never leave you again. It may be hard to trust me, and I get that, but I will never hurt you again. Please, please know that."
"Please," My eyes fluttered open to see tears streaming down his face. I uttered the next words while unsure of what else to do. "Please just kiss me."
Dan seemed surprised by my answer, but quickly obliged. Our lips connected for the first time in- a year maybe, and it was like the first time. His hand cupped my chin and I leaned forward begging for more.
He allowed my tongue to enter his mouth, and I explored a little. We moved in rhythm with each other. I enjoyed every second of this.
"I love you, Dan," I pulled away and we leaned our foreheads against each other.
"I love you, Phil," Dan held my shoulders as I clutched his waist. "So, so, much."
I adjusted my position so my legs were swung over the edge of the bed and I was facing Dan.
"I want to go home," I murmured. "But... I'm already there. My home is wherever you are, Danny."
"Phiiiiiil," Dan moaned. "That was so cute and heartfelt. Why do you have to be that way?"
"Because the sadder you are, the deeper your heart and soul are. That means your feelings come out in poems."
"Whoa," Dan muttered. "I love you so damn much."
"I can't get enough of you," I replied and began to make out with him.
When we were done and finally came up for air, the nurse came in. Perfect timing. Good thing he hadn't walked in two seconds earlier.
"How are you two doing?" He asked.
I replied that we were doing well. The nurse left with a nod and a scribble on the paper on his clipboard.
"Can I get in?" Dan asked, gesturing to my bed. I nodded and scooted over. Once he climbed in, I curled up into his chest.

The nurse woke us up, telling us Dan had to go back to his room. He also informed us that Dan would be able to get out soon.
Dan promised to visit me every day until I was capable of getting out of here. He left with the nurse who was much smaller than him and close my door.
I sighed, and examined the bandages on my arms from the cuts. Slowly, I unraveled the one on my left arm. I exposed deep, red cuts and winced when I touched one.
I traced a few scars. I half smiled from the pain I felt from the touch to the cuts I had made. I undid the other arm's bandaged and examined those, too. I compared the two red arms to see which one was worst. I concluded that my left was worse since I was a righty and I got in a habit of doing it with my right hand.
Next, I did my thighs. Their scars hurt a little more. I rewound the ace bandages around my limbs and lay back in bed just as a nurse brought in my dinner.
"Hey, Phil!" He exclaimed excitedly. "We think you can get out of the hospital within the next week, but still have therapy sessions three times a week."
"Oh yay," I tried to sound excited, because I really was. But it sounded sarcastic
"Can I check on your scars?" He approached me carefully. He was a different guy than I had before, and his name tag said nurse Curtis. "Oh, and I'm nurse Darry." (The Outsiders is one of my favorite books)
I smiled and let him remove my bandages. I gasped when his hand touched one of the deeper cuts.
"I am so sorry, Phil," Darry apologised. He continued unwrapping the bandages. After putting some cream on them, he rewrapped them in new bandages.
"Oh!" He turns to face my one last time before leaving me with my soup. "Dan is leaving the hospital today, but not without paying you a visit. He should be coming in soon... And here he is!"
Dan walked in just as Nurse Curtis finished his sentence.
"Hi, Phil," He lunged at me. I scooted over to make room for him on the bed as he leapt in and burrowed into my chest.
"Hi, Dan," I hugged him tightly. "I'm gonna miss you. So much. But I'll be out soon."
"I know, but it won't be the same without you right across the hall. Even just for a couple weeks," Dan rested his hand on my cheek. I leaned forward and kissed him.
"Dan, I think my roommate has been flirting with me. I'm not quite sure though," I told him. Dan was gonna ask him and sort this out, was what he promised.

Dan left after a half hour. I was left alone in the hospital.

The days went slowly, but when Dan came time passed quicker than ever. Dan came back and told me that my roommate was only being nice to me! He had a boyfriend himself. I was happy to find that out.
Finally, i was out of the hospital. I still went to therapy, but Dan was with me almost always and that made me feel better.
Epilogue coming!!
