Chapter 14

Dan’s P.O.V

Great…Just what I needed. I didn’t mean to say that, I wasn’t thinking. It just kind of slipped out. He’s right, I was being an asshole about it. I should’ve just dropped the conversation when I had the chance…He probably hates me now…

I sat on the sofa in silence with my head in my hands. Just thinking. Maybe if I left him to calm down for a while then I could call him and everything will be alright again…won’t it? Oh, I don’t know…I just don’t wanna lose him, he means too much to me…

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the phone ringing. I ran over to the phone hoping it was Chris.

“Chris?”

“Hello, Is this Mr. Dan Howell?”

“Um…yes why? Who is this?”

“This is the hospital…I’m calling about the accident involving Chris Kendall. We asked him who we could contact when we got to him and he kept saying your name…”

“What? W-What accident?” I felt my breath catch in my throat.

“Well he was involved in a car accident earlier today and he has been rushed into hospital with serious injuries”

“O-Ok…I’ll be that as soon as I can…Thank you” I quickly hung up the phone and chucked on a random pair of shoes before running out of the door.

I hoped into my car and turned on the ignition before speeding off to the hospital.

I got out of my car and ran up to the main desk.

“Excuse me…”

The middle aged woman looked up at me. “Yes?”

“Could you tell me which room Chris Kendall is in please?”

“Of course, one moment” She looked at her computer and tapped a few keys before looking back up at me. “Room 137”

“Thank you” I ran through the corridors, looking at the signs to direct me to the room he was in.

I saw a doctor standing outside the door. “Excuse me, is Chris Kendall in this room?” I asked.

“Yes, but he nearly lost his life from the accident so do try to be careful with him”

I nodded at him before taking a deep breath, preparing myself for the worst. I finally pulled the handle and entered the white room.

The only sound I could hear was his steady breathing and the beeping of the heart monitor. Wires were attached to his body from every direction.

I start to tear up at the sight of his battered body. He looked so…broken…How could this even be possible? I slowly walk over to the side of his bed and sit down, not taking my eyes away from his face. Now covered in scratches and bruises.

I grasp his ice cold hand in mine. “I’m sorry Chris…I’m so sorry…” I whisper as I lean down and kiss his pale cheek.

Chris P.O.V

My eyes shot open as I finish the worst nightmare. What the fuck is that annoying beeping? Seriously, someone better turn it off…Wait…Where the fuck am I? I sit up as my eyes dart around the room, trying to figure out where I am.

Why am I in a hospital room?...Oh god…My mind suddenly flashes back to mine and Dan’s fight and the car crash…Just the thought of me fighting with Dan makes me tear up. I squeeze my eyes shut to try and rid my head of the memories.

Before I open my eyes again, I feel someone or something gripping my hand. I turn my head and see Dan sat there crying with his head in his other hand. He hasn’t noticed I’m awake yet…

“D-Dan?”

He looks up at me and begins to cry harder. “Y-You’re awake…I-I’m so happy to s-see that you’re ok…” He stuttered.

I felt butterflies form in my stomach but no way was I giving in to him that easily…after all he did say he wanted to break up…

“What the hell are you doing here? I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore, remember?” I yank my hand away and fold my arms across my chest, giving Dan a cold stare.

“I know, I know…But then I realised that I was stupid and when the hospital called me and told me what happened I realised how much I actually could’ve lost…I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if you died since it was my fault you drove off…I feel so guilty and I am so sorry. I know you could never forgive me, but I want you to know that I truly am sorry…” He starts to sob again.

Ok, after that speech I definitely can’t stay mad at him…

My expression softens as I unfold my arms. “Dan…It wasn’t your fault…”

“But it was…I should’ve just dropped it but I had to carry it on…I’m so sorry…You don’t know how bad I feel Chris…”

“Dan stop apologizing…It’s fine honestly”

“Really?”

“Yes, now come here…” I open my arms inviting Dan for a cuddle. He hesitated at first but crawled into my arms, burying his head into my neck…Just the way it should be…

“Can we just forget this ever happened and go back to the way we were?” I whispered stroking through Dan’s hair. He nodded and kissed my neck.

A few seconds later he pulled out of the hug and stood up looking at me.

“What?” I asked chuckling slightly.

Instead of answering he gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring…Wait! What!!

“I was going to wait a while to do this but now seems right…”

“Oh my god…Dan…”

“Chris, I want you to be the man I spend the rest of my life with and I don’t care what anyone says…so…Will you marry me?”

I sat there in complete shock with my jaw dropped. I couldn’t find the words to speak so I just nodded.

Dan got up and slid the ring on my finger, pulling me into a passionate kiss, sending the heart monitor wild.

“I love you” I said when we finally pull away.

“I love you more”

“Oh really?”

“Yeah”

“Prove it…” I say grinning.

“Fine…” He says with a slight smirk before pulling me in for a kiss that was more passionate than the first one…
