Forever and Always (Phan)

Sad ending

A/n: All of the endings start the same way but are all different. This is the sad ending, which has some sad stuff in it, but it still ends kinda happy. Death warning.

I sat next to him, continuing to hold his hand even as he's asleep. The heart monitor is beeping still, but it seems too slow. It's as if the machine is connected to another person. My Dan, his heartbeat would never be this slow. Right now we should be in bed cuddling, where he will try to be sneaky and tickle me, even though I know he'll try every night. But as his heartbeat slows down even more, I'm not sure if that will ever happen. A tear that I've desperately been trying to hold in rolls down my face, followed by countless others.

The world seems to move in slow motion as I watch a tear fall onto Dan's hand.

As soon as the liquid makes contact with his beautiful skin,

he flatlines.

Pure sadness, complete and utter depression, escape from my lips in the form of sobs. The nurses, who had stepped outside after the 'wedding', come rushing in.

Wedding.

My sobs grow louder and become painful at the thought. I married the most beautiful person in the world not even ten minutes ago. And now I'm being ushered out of the room as my husband lies lifeless and pale on a hospital bed.

I glance back, almost screaming as I see Dan being electrocuted, causing his body to jolt and bounce. It's the only chance to bring him back, and it's terrifying.

I hear laughter and turn to see Chris and PJ both holding a coffee in each hand. When they see me, they drop the coffees on the ground, running to hug me and immediately joining me in crying.

This isn't fair. He has so much to live for. His family, his friends, his fans. Us, our future, our children.

Someone walks out of the room and clears their throat. We all turn to see the nurse that led me here and look at her with a glimmer of hope, hoping she'll tell us what we need to hear.

She shakes her head, giving me a sad look as she handed Chris' ring to me.

"No..." I whisper. "No. No. No..." I start to get dizzy and feel like I'm going to fall before Chris snaps me out of it. I look at him in a daze as he takes his ring from my palm and PJ's off my finger.

"He's okay.... Right?" I ask, knowing that I won't like the answer.

"Oh, Phil..." PJ says sadly from next to Chris before hugging me, his husband joining soon after.

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so, sorry." He whispers.

"Everything will be okay, we'll all be okay."

At the word okay, something inside me snaps.

"It's not fair" I whimper. "All I wanted was to be with Dan. I don't think I'll be able to live without him." My sobs are quiet now as I try to process what's happening.

"Of course you can." I hear a voice say from behind me.

I turn to see someone that looked like he was probably Dan's age with hair slightly lighter and longer than my husband's-well, ex now I guess- but unlike Dan, it seemed like this boy didn't straighten his hair. Nerdy, yet cute, glasses framed his green eyes as he seemed almost stunned for one reason or another. He cleared his throat before continuing, and I realized he was holding flowers in his hands.

"I-uh... I mean, you can live without him. It won't be easy, but it's possible. I didn't know Dan, but I'm sure he was a great person and he wouldn't want you to be sad." I was mesmerised by this boy, by the way he was talking, the way he looked. He started to move closer as he spoke. "He would want you to move on, he would want you to celebrate the good times, live your life, fall in love, do whatever makes you happy, just never forget him."

He was only about a foot and a half away from me now.

"Wh-who are you?" I stuttered as he took a step closer. I took a step back, not used to being this close to a stranger. "Why are you here?"

"My name is Charlie. I-" He stopped and took a deep breath. "I was the one wo called an ambulance for Dan. I figured he, uh... wouldn't make it, and when I saw his ring, I figured whatever girl he was with could use some comfort. I didn't think you'd be his fiance, though." His eyes scanned over my body, and no matter how much I didn't want to, I blushed.

"Husband." I corrected. He took a few steps forward so that he was in whispering distance.

"I know you don't know me, but you're cute and you need a hug. May I?" He asked quietly. I only nodded in response.

He wrapped his arms around me and the feeling in my stomach was almost the same as when I hugged Dan, and I almost started crying again, but it was such a comforting hug, and it felt amazing right now. After a while he pulled away and introduced himself to Chris and PJ. They seemed to like him, and I think I do, too.

He looked at me expectantly and I realized he didn't know my name yet.

"My name is Phil." And surprising everyone, especially myself, I gave him a small smile. I think I'm going to be okay.
