Always Out of Reach

Where do you wanna go?

"Right." Daniel flopped down on the sofa next to me. "You need to get out of the house. You've literally been sat here for 2 days straight, doing what?" He took my phone off of me. "Playing colour switch?!"

I groaned. "I can't be bothered, Daniel. Plus," I snatched my phone back."Colour switch is a good game."

"It is the most pointless game ever. And, I don't care if you can't be bothered." He stared at me. "You are getting out of the house if I have to drag you out myself."

I sighed. "Where are we going then?"

"Where do you wanna go?" He grinned.

I thought for a moment. "Do, do you think we could go to hospital?" I asked.

"Hospital?" Confusion was written all over Daniels face. "Why would you want to go there?"

I hesitated. "I-I want to see the man who my dad...attacked." I looked down,  afraid of his reaction.

"W-why do you want to do that? Joey, you've never met the man before."

"To.....apologise." I said

"Apologise? For what? You don't need to apologise Joey, you're dad does!" Daniel shouted getting annoyed.

"I-I don't know....I just....feel responsible." I shrugged, still looking down.

Daniel sighed. "Ok....I understand. I'll take you....but only because I think it'll help you. I don't think you're responsible and I don't think you have to apologise." He turned to face me and held on to both of my hands. "I just want you to put this behind you. Move on. Stop having those sleepless nights, stop sitting here all day playing....colour switch!" I chuckled and he smiled.

"Okay?" He asked me.

"Ok." I smiled "I love you.

"I love you too." He pecked me in the lips. "Now...let's go to hospital."

What do you think will happen when they go to hospital?
