"I Love You"

*Phil's POV*

I had betrayed Dan. What the hell was wrong with me? I don't even remember that girls name or even what she looked like. Dan was the best thing that had happened to me and I just made sure he could never trust me again. Guilt swept over me like a cloud. Dan wouldn't answer his phone which was not a surprise after what I had done to him. I cant believe that I had done what I did.

When Dan stormed out I ran after him even as he drove away. When I finally could not run anymore I sank to my knees. I felt hopeless like nothing could possibly get worse for us. We didn't formally break up but If It wasn't over before it definitely was now.

At around 11 a.m. the next morning I got a call from Dan's mom saying he was at the hospital in a coma. When I asked her if I could see him she didn't say anything at first. After about 10 seconds I could hear her get all choked up.

"You hurt Dan, Phil. You drove him to do this. I really thought you were different. You truly made him happy and gave him some sort of hope that everything would be better someday. So if you really want to see him then fine but I doubt he would want to see you after what you did. Dan is finishing school at home for the last 2 weeks. Maybe you should stay away for a while."

And with that she hung up on me.

What had I drove Dan to do?

When I finally realized what happened I burst into tears.

This is worse then I thought

The next day I finally worked up the courage to go see Dan. I looked through the glass into his room. Around his neck was a bruise, his eyes looked dark and his skin tone was a ghastly white. Around his eyes were dark circles.

I entered his room trying not to make any noise at all.

*3rd POV*

Phil pulled the ugly green hospital chair across the floor and set it so it faced Dan. He took a few second to just look at him. His pale complexion, the oxygen machine that pumped air through his nose, his unstraightened hair was like waves rushing over his head. Phil took ahold of Dan's hand held it to his heart. He felt the pulse in Dan's wrist and the cold from Dan's hand. Phil took Dan's almost lifeless hand and pressed it to his cheek. After a while he felt Dan's hand tense up slightly. Phil quickly put Dan's bed and began to call for a nurse. The machine that monitored Dan's brain activity began to spike. He stepped back from the bed as the nurses rushed in. Phil felt as though he was crowding them so he began to leave. On his way out he bumped into Dan's mom.

"Oh... Ms. Howell..I-I was just checkin"

Dan's mum interrupted him mid-sentence

"Just checking for what Phil? That maybe he would still love you after what you did to him? That maybe he would forgive you, or give you a second shot?"

Phil looked weirdly sad and replied:

"Maybe I was. M-maybe I feel horrible about what I did and it was a drunken mistake. Dan, well Dan is the best thing that ever happened to me, maybe even in my whole life. And I honestly don't know why I did it. Maybe it was because I felt like I wasn't getting enough attention, maybe it was because, because my mom died. I-I don't know anymore."

Dans mum took a second to think...

"Maybe, just maybe Phil, you should figure out why you decided to hurt my son."
