Katies POV
My eyes slowly fluttered open as I begin to regain consciousness. I look to the side and there was a tall man with brown hair styled into a fringe. And standing by the door was a man who was only a bit shorter but looked older. "Who are you?" I managed to croak out, my voice sounded husky and rough. They both turned around to see me with my eyes open staring at the ceiling. They both ran over to my bedside and smiled brightly. "Hi I'm Dan Howell!" The one with brown hair smiled, "and I'm Phil Lester,"the other one answered. "Who are you?"
"I'm Katie, I don't even know my last name," it made me kind of happy that I didn't because that means one less part of him.
"So what happened back there?" Dan asked his voice full of worry.
"Well he was my dad, he has abused me all my life. I'm actually 21 but I don't look it, I mean I have the height of a 13 yr old and seriously skinny. But I guess that's what malnutrition does. Earlier this morning he walked into my room, he has always told me not to turn around unless someone asks you to, so I didn't. But this time he got mad and tried to punch me. But I had enough, I couldn't take it anymore, so I dodged it. But that was as bad move," I didn't realise I was crying until Phil handed me a tissue, "thanks," I muttered. "So anyway I ran as fast as I could, as far as I could. I began to think that surely he stopped chasing me now. So I began to walk, taking in my surroundings, because I've never been outside before, until I felt his arms around me, I screamed and then you guys came"
"Wow" Dan whispered
"I can't thank you guys enough!"
"No need to thank us Katie, we were just doing what any decent human being would do" Phil answered kindly.
"Do you guys know how long I'm going to be in here for?"
"I'll go check for you!" Phil said as he jumped out of his seat leaving me and Dan alone. I mean he is pretty hot! But why would he like a girl like me? I mean I've got scars cuts and bruises, I'm ugly.
"So umm how are you feeling?" Dan said awkwardly.
"Good I guess, I mean I'd rather be here than at 'home'" I answered.
"I can't believe you've been through all that!" He sounded astonished, like he actually cares, but he doesn't, it's just an act. I'll probably never see them again. I've learned that I can't let anyone in, I can't tell my secrets. They will judge me, laugh at me god knows what else they might do.
"I'm just glad you and Phil came, if you didn't God knows where I'd be!" Probably locked in my bedroom again. No food, no water, let me tell you being chained to a bed is not fun.
We sat in silence for a minute, it wasn't an awkward silence it was comfortable.
Then Phil walked in.
"Hey Katie the doctors said that you can go home in a few weeks, you need to gain some weight and they need to stitch some of your cuts, but we will visit everyday right Dan?"
I looked over at him, he had a blank expression on his face just staring at the floor. He looked...sad?
Why was he sad have I said anything? Oh god, what if I have damn then I'm in trouble.
"Dan?" Phil said again
"Yeah sorry what?" Dan answered slightly startled
"We're going to visit Katie everyday right?"
"Yeah of course" he smiled at both of us.
