yo sisters im currently in ikea and im bored so have a chapter
also i havent done a spelling check yet

phils pov;

I press my lips to Dan's cheek.

I've wanted this for so long, and it's finally happening.

It's not much, but it's more than I could have ever hoped for.

Then I feel Dan collapse into my chest. His eyes close and his grip on my tshirt loosens.

'Dan?' I ask.

He isn't responding.

'Dan?!'

All of a sudden a group of people marches into the room; the paramedics.

They rush over to Dan and start frantically touching him and shouting to each other.

A man tries to pull me away but I desperately cling to Dan's hand and shirt and refuse to let him go.
He is the only one I've got right now.

A sweet looking woman walks up to me and smiles at me.
She grabs my shoulder and takes my hand off of Dan. Then, she helps me stand up.

She takes me to the hall of the hotel and sits me down on an ugly, grey chaise longue which is stood at the very end of the red and golden hallway.

The woman kneels down and places her hand on my knee.
'Are you okay?' she asks.

What was she thinking? Of course I'm not okay, my best friend (what even are they at this point honestly) might die, why would I be okay?

'No, not really.' I respond.

'I understand that, but you have to realise that everything is going to be okay. It's all going to fall into place and we'll see what the Lord wants.'

(im not a religious person but hey ho)

I smile weakly at her and try not to cry, 'Thanks, I'm just really worried.'.

She nods, 'Completely understandable.' she agrees with me.

'Can you tell me what is going to happen next?' I ask her.

'We don't know yet, you'll have to wait and see. But we've had more cases like this one, and most people who have experienced something like this are fine now.' she explains, 'Don't worry too much. I understand that this is extremely stressful and worrying for you but try not to think about it too much. Okay?'

How can she say that? "Try not to think about it too much." As if I'm just going to forget about my best friend nearly dying?!

Then out of the corner of my eye (i see a spaceship in the sky |-/) I see a stretcher being wheeled through the hallway which seems way too bright for the situation.

On top of the stretcher is a beautiful boy with gorgeous brown curls and an olive skin.
Even in these circumstances Dan still manages to look like an absolute angel.

I jump up and run after the stretcher.
The woman who 'comforted' me - after all, I still felt horrible and scared - stands up and walks after me.

'Can I please go with him?' I ask her, begging her with my eyes.

'Only if you're sure you can manage.' she replies.

I nod and jog to keep up with Dan and all the people around him.
I grab his hand and we quickly make our way out of the hotel together.

alright then. i started this chapter this morning while i was at ikea and now its nearly midnight and im sat on the sofa rt ur goals.
anyways, next chapter is probably going to be like a hospital chapter thing and im really not looking forward to writing it because i suck at hospital scenarios but we'll see. my good friend holly (go check out her amazing phanfic 'despondent' here; lostboyzoella ) gave me a few pointers for next chapter, which is great!
please remember to vote if youre enjoying the story and apologies for such a short and bad chapter haha

stay alive
