You Saved My Life - A Danisnotonfire fanfic

Part 26

Wow guys I'm proud of myself for updating

17 CHAPTERS LEFT! Thought I should let you know :)

Note: If I get the whole thing with the comas wrong, I'm sorry. I'm too lazy to google, it helps the plot, and I'm not a doctor :) so if it's wrong, just go along with it.

   I slowly walked down the tiled hallway towards Phil. I was so nervous that he would be mad at me, he was the only person I had at the moment. If he left me, I would be lost. Dan wasn't here, and I'm afraid to talk to Jack. I have to do my best and make sure that I tell Phil everything, and then I have to pray to god that he is on my side.

   "Hey Paige." He smiled the tiniest bit. He looked tired and worn out, like all he wanted to do was dissapear off the earth for a week.

   "Hi, Phil," I said back, rocking back and forth on my heels. I don't know why I was so nervous, all I did was kiss Jack. And I didn't even want to. Did I?  "Phil, about yesterday, I really think you should know what happened."

   "Okay, go." He said as we both sat down on the bench. I continued to tell him the entire story. I don't know why really, it just felt nice to get it all out. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Once I finished, he stared at me for a few seconds, an unreadable expression hidden on his face. 

   "Are you mad at me?" I said quietly. I could feel the tears forming behind my eyes, I was never good in these types of situations. I hate when people are mad at me, and I've never been in this type of situation before. Hell, I've never cheated at all before, even if it was just one kiss with a confused, injured friend.

   "No." He finally said. He smiled a bit, and I breathed a sigh of relief. One less thing I had to deal with. 

   "Are you sure? What do I do when Dan wakes up?"

   "Paige, I'm not mad at you. Why would I? It's obvious you had no intention of kissing him. I don't really know what to do because, well, I'm not Dan. I'm not the one in love with you."

   He had a point. It doesn't make the smallest difference in anybody's life, except Dan, Jack's, and mine. Phil may be Dan's friend, but he doesn't control who I kiss, and he doesn't control who Dan loves. He may disagree with what happened, but he can't change it. The fact that I kissed Jack doesn't affect him at all. He may care for Dan, but it doesn't change anything in his life. Plus, Dan and I aren't dating, technically. It shouldn't bother me this much, but it does. I feel like I betrayed someone who sacrificed everything for me, but at the same time, I want to kiss Jack again. No I don't. Jack is just a friend.

   "Plus,  I, uh, need to talk to you." He says. I nod and wait for him to start.

   "After you and Jack, erm, kissed... that nurse who saw you came rushing back into Dan's room, and told everyone what she saw. I was in there. Seconds after she told us, Dan's heart monitor went crazy. The nurses had to work to get it back to normal. But, it seemed like, he could hear. He could hear the nurse say that and he got angry. Or sad. Or am I just tired?" He said, putting his face in his hands. 

   "No, Phil... It might make sense. As much as I don't want it to be true, because that means he knows. But, still. We know he's not in a deep coma, because he's guarenteed to wake up. Maybe it's such a... light coma that he can hear? Maybe he's just paralyzed? I mean, he did squeeze my hand. Plus, you guys aren't human." I said. My emotions mixed. Overjoyed at the thought of Dan being able to understand his surroundings, but I also felt fear, because that means he knows I kissed Jack. And I wanted to deal with that when I had to. I don't want him to wake up and be mad at me.

   But what if we are crazy? This is just a theory, after all. Maybe we should talk to a nurse. There's a possibility he's just paralyzed, and soon enough he'll be able to move again. Plus, like I said, he is a guardian angel. Not human. Who knows how their body works?

   "We should talk to a nurse." I said after a moment of silence. He nods in agreement, and we both stand up. We head down to the lobby without talking, both lost in our own thoughts. When we get to the front desk, we ask if we can see the nurse in charge of Dan. The lady nods and presses a button, the nurse appearing moments later.

   "Hello, may I helo you?" She smiles at us.

   "Yes, we have a question about our friend Dan Howell." Phil says.

   "Ah yes, I know him. What's the problem?" She asks.

   "Well, we were wondering if there is such things as deep comas, or light ones, I guess. Or are they all the same?" I spoke up.

   "Yes, actually. We don't know much, because if a patient wakes up, they usually don't want to talk about it. But there is extremely deep comas, where you're basically dead. You'll never wake up." She says.

   "What about Dan? Is he in a light coma?" Phil asks.

   "Yes, actually. Very light. He's lucky, very lucky. He's guarenteed to wake up." 

   "One more question," I say. "Is it possible for people in light comas to hear things around them?"

   "It is unknown," She begins. "It is possible, if they are in a light condition, but it's never been proven. Like I said, patients who have awaken never really like to talk about it. Nobody really knows. For all I know, they could." She says with a light smile.

   "Thanks for all your help." I say, and she walks away.

   "Might as well go talk to him." Phil says. I nod.

   ---

   This is crazy. He can't hear us. We're standing in his room, waiting for one of us to say something. Finally, Phil begins to speak.

   "Uh, hey Dan. If you can hear us, then, good, I guess. It means you're awake. You might not want to, but can you let us know once you wake up? And, also, try to wake up soon. I'm getting really tired of this hospital." He says. I take a deep breath and begin.

   "Hi, Dan. I, uh, know you heard the nurse say that I kissed Jack... and... well... uhm... it's true." I say. I take another breath before continuing. "But I want you to know that I didn't plan on that happening, he kinda, kissed me. And I'm not just saying this. It... wasn't anything. I uh, I like you, Dan. And I need you to wake up soon, because it's driving me crazy to be here without you. Please, don't be mad at me or Jack, it won't happen again and I swear, I don't have feeling for him. Just, please, try to wake up soon."

DAN'S POV

"Just, please, try to wake up soon."
