Adopted and Dying // Adopted By Dan and Phil

✧ Chapter Six ✧

please send hell

i kid it should be help, but either work for me

Sleeping restlessly on an unfamiliar, yet comfortable surface, I toss and turn. My dream feels so real, like someone is actually grabbing my shoulders, like someone is pressing down on my chest, like someone is shaking me as if to wake me up.

"Mason!! Mason wake up!! Mason can you hear me?!" An unfamiliar voice yells.

"Come on kid, wake up!" Another says.

My eyes snap open and I find that someone is in fact pressing down on my chest and someone was quite literally shaking me to wake me up.

"Oh thank god," the first voice says.

"Should we take him to a hospital," the second asks.

"He seems to fine now.."

I turn on my side to see who's talking.

"Who are- Where am I- Oh! Hey guys, what's up," I say, remembering the events of yesterday (I think).

"'What's up', is you stopped breathing," the second voice, aka Dan says.

"Wait, what?!"

"You fell asleep about five minutes into the marathon, kiddo. We decided to leave you here and go to bed, 'till I heard you gasping about twenty minutes ago and then.. We thought we'd lost you," Phil says. Even in the darkness, I can see the tears running down the face of a man I haven't even known for a whole day yet.

"I still don't get why you wouldn't let me call an ambulance, Phil?"

"You may recall that as of two years ago, I am a trained paramedic."

"You're a paramedic? Why? Don't you do Vine and get money or something?" I ask.

"Vine's dead sweety. And I had to for tour," Phil explains.

"You guys went on tour?!" I ask, propping myself up on my elbow.

"Another story for another time. Now are you sure you're ok? We can do the marathon now, if you want," Phil suggests.

I look at the time on the clock reflecting off of the tv.

"Nah, it's 2.30. It's ok if I go to bed?"

"Yeah of course," Phil says gently.

"Thanks guys. Erm, l-love you? Um, yeah, ahaha, night," I say quickly.

"Night Mason."

"Sleep well kid."

I stumble as I get off of the couch and try find my way back up to my room. I can almost hear Steph saying 'You should tell them, they're worried about you'. I shake my head and climb into bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

•••

"I'm being blinded, I'm being blinded!!" I yell as I open my eyes and sun light shines through an open window, hitting my face directly.

"Oh my god this isn't my bed, I've been kidnapped!! I'm being blinded and I've been kidnapped! Help!!"

"The f*ck is going on," a tall man appears in the doorway, in nothing but boxers.

"Ah! Giant!" I throw a pillow at him.

"Will you calm down please Mason?!"

"He knows my name what the hell is going on?!"

"Phil, he's high!!"

"I'm not high, I'm just on pills-"

"You're on pills?!" Another tall man appears in the doorway, hugging the other from behind.
