Wait For the Clouds ( A Dan and Phil Story)

Chapter 24

Phil P.O.V

" Ladders, Ladders, a word,you step on them and they climb, if you're fireman, they're really high..." I sang quietly as I took a shower. That song was always played in the back of my head.
The shower felt refreshing after the long time I had to stay in bed or us a shower chair. Those are the weirdest things I've ever seen.
I held the bar on the shower wall as I washed my hair, when I hear a voice.
It couldn't be Ellie, it was too deep and she wasn't coming for another hour.
And it was the nurse Brynn because she had just left minutes ago to check Dan and Lillian's vitals.
I heard it again, more clearly.

Hello?
Dan.
I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist.
I move as quick as I could and went through the door.
Dan was sitting up looking directly at me. He had token his air mask off and was sitting up weakly in his bed.
"Dan?" I say.
He blinks for second then weakly smiles.
" Hi." He said quietly, his face had scars from the sharp metal.
" Dan!" I say and I move quickly over, I was unable to move very fast based on my spine injury. I hug him tight until a hear a small groan of pain and I left go.
" Sorry. I just missed you so much. So did Ellie." I say chuckling.
" Where is she?" He says a little nervously.
" She'll be here soon. Don't worry, she'll be elated to see you."
" Ok,What happened?" He asked.
" The night of Lily's surgery, we road in a cab when it was raining really hard and we got in a car crash." I say.
" Holy Crap. That sounds...dangerous."
" Yeah...you may not remember it, but you saved my life." I say smiling a bit. I remember his body leaning across me as a car crashed into the side of the taxi. It all seemed like a bad dream.
" Really? How would I save you from a car crash?" He says.
" You took the impact of  the crash. I still got hurt, but less than you did." I say holding up my blue casted arm.
He smiled and we talked for awhile, until his eyes were caught by something.
Lillian.
He saw her sleeping there in the bed, motionless.
His eyes widened and saddens a little.
" What happened?" He asked.
" She went into surgery before we got there. The doctors said she has lost a lot of blood and she needed to heal. But she's been in a coma for 2 weeks. Like you." I say with a frown. He puts his hand on my shoulder.
" Phil..."he says and I look back to him.
" I'm hungry as hell, can we get some food?" He says and I laugh a little.
" Sure Dan. Anything you want." I say and grab the wall phone.
I was glad to have my best friend back,
All I needed was Lillian.
And maybe some breakfast.
