I began nervously walking faster. Suddenly, I was grabbed and pushed onto my back. It was too dark to see who it was
The stranger then started punching me and scratching me. I starting screaming out loud but the stranger kept hitting me and hitting me and eventually I couldn't make anymore noise
I silently laid there getting attacked until I was unconscious
I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a hospital, I was hooked up to all these different machines
I looked around and saw my mum and Phil in the room asleep. I groaned, I was in so much pain. I began to get angry
Where were you, Phil? You said you'd always be there for me. Where were you? Why would you do this to me? I hate you, Phil
Just then, the doctor walked in
"Ah! You're awake" he exclaimed in a surprised tone
His loud voice woke my mum and Phil up. My mum gasped then immediately stood up and ran over to me
"Oh my god, Daniel, we thought you were going to die!" She began balling her eyes out
Phil slowly walked towards me while crying, his hands covering his mouth
I frowned at him angrily
"I doctor said you had only a small chance of living. Whoever did this to you hurt you really bad" My mum said
I wish they'd killed me
A stranger approached me then my mum looked at him and smiled
"This is Jack, he found you last night and took you to the hospital" she explained
"Thank you" I tried to be polite
Obviously he was just doing what he thought was right, he doesn't know me
"I'm afraid you're going to have to stay in hospital for at least a couple more weeks. We'll need to do some tests and check how you're doing" the doctor explained
I slowly nodded
"Can I please speak to Phil, alone?" I asked
"Sure" the doctor said leading my mum and Jack out of the room then walking out after them
"I can't believe you" I said
"What do you mean?"
I was suddenly boiling with rage
"What do I mean?! You left me on my birthday to get attacked and put in hospital by some stranger!! I hate you" I snapped
"But-"
"No! I don't want to hear your sorry excuses, I want you get out now!"
Phil sadly walked out. My mum came back in. "What happened?" She asked curiously
"Don't worry about it" I said sternly while looking away from her
A week had passed... and I hadn't seen Phil since I yelled at him. I felt so bad, I don't know what I was thinking. He did all he could, Phil wouldn't do anything that mean on purpose. It was my choice to walk home alone. It wasn't his fault
I hated myself so much for saying that to Phil
My mum came in
"Mum, I was so mean to Phil and I miss him so much. It wasn't his fault this happened to me but I blamed him..." I said sadly
She patted my leg "I'm sure he'll forgive you"
I wasn't so sure of that...
A couple more weeks passed and it was the day I left hospital, I didn't want anything more than to be in Phil's arms right now and tell him I'm sorry
I've probably ruined our relationship. He's never going to talk to me again
My mum and I left the hospital and I saw our car
"Hey, when did out car get here?" I quietly asked
"Awhile ago, you were in hospital for a pretty long time"
"Oh"
My mum helped me into the car then we drove back to the hotel. I got out of the car and we walked towards my hotel room
"I'm just gonna go to sleep for awhile" I said sadly as my mum took out my room key
She then unlocked the door and she walked in first then I followed her. I walked in facing down then I looked up to see... Phil
Why? Why was he here after what I said to him? I was such an asshole
I run up and hug Phil, he gently hugs me back
"Wh-h-w-" I was unable to say proper words
"Your mum told me how you felt and how sorry you said you were... and I love you, I couldn't leave you even if you hated me" Phil says
"What did I do to deserve you?" I started to cry slightly
I pulled away from the hug then walked into the bathroom, Phil followed me. I looked in the mirror
"Oh god" I said, realising how horrible I looked
My hair was curly and greasy, I had dark bags under my eyes, I was paler than usual
I didn't bother trying I make myself look any better because it wouldn't work. I hugged Phil again then kissed him, just happy that he wasn't upset or angry with me
The next day, I went to school. My mum insisted I stayed home for a little longer but I told her I wanted to go. My mum drove me to school, I looked around for Phil but I couldn't find him anywhere
Science was my first class so I walked there then saw Marzia and Felix
"Hello" I greeted them both
"Hi, Dan" Marzia says while smiling nicely
Felix looked over to me "Oh hey"
All of a sudden someone shoved me. I turned around to see who it was and I saw Greg.
I sighed. He then walked up to me
"I bet you're wondering why Phil isn't here today..." he says
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask
He just smiles. My eyes widen
Greg then starts laughing while walking away
Has he done something to Phil? Is he hurt? Is that why he isn't here today? Where is here?
