Chapter 12

I was allowed to go home from the hospital a few hours later. Phil stayed with me until they had to put the black fiberglass cast on. It is now Wednesday and I won't be allowed to see Phil until Sunday.

I showed Phil the email before I got my cast. He had no reaction to see the pictures, which I thought was odd, but how are you supposed to react from seeing pictures of something you didn't know that had happened? We read through the email and when we finished Phil looked at me with a sad smile and said, "At least I'll still see you Sundays."

Why'd he have to say that like that?

It was getting late, and I was getting bored.

Again.

I've been texting with Phil on and off all day, but it's not the same as human contact. It's not so much me missing Phil, just me not being able to walk a few steps to share something funny with him. Really sharing with anyone would be nice right now. I was contemplating weather or not it was too late to text Phil again or if I should just go to sleep. I eventually settled on the former.

'Hey I'm bored :/'

His reply came rather quickly:

'Me too :('

'When can I see you again?'

'Sunday?'

'Ugh'

'Or what if I came down tomorrow to "get the rest of my things"?'

'Yeah! Do it'

'Ok, I'm going to bed now though'

'Ok see you tomorrow! Goodnight!'

'Nite Dan :)'

I set my mobile down after checking the time. 11:47. It was nearly midnight which is actually really early for me to sleep, but if I stay up then I'll just be bored. Some extra sleep never hurt, I decided.

I woke up early the next day, so I could head down and see Dan quickly. My parents were confused as to why I was there with them as I was keeping them in the dark of things. I just told them I wanted to come visit them, but they didn't believe me.

I was being careful to be extra quiet and sneak out before my parents woke up so I could avoid being asked questions. I decided I'd leave them a note saying I left my charger and would be back soon.

I got down to the train station by 8:02 and caught the first train back to London from there. I took nap on the train with ear buds in so that when the alarm I set went off, I would be the only one who heard it. I had a dreamless nap soon after I set the alarm.

It worked, and I timed it perfectly so that I was awake 10 minutes before the train arrived.

It took about 7-10 more minutes of transportation to get to there and I was finally standing at the door of my home. Was it right to still call it my home?

Home is where the heart is.

I shook my head to get that dumb saying out of my head and let myself in with my keys that I always have with me. Well except for those couple of times where I left them inside the flat and locked us out...

"Dan?" I called as I shut the door behind me. No response came, so I checked in the lounge and he wasn't there either. I then went to his bedroom and sure enough there was a sleeping Dan in his bed. He looks so cute when he's sleeping... well he does!
