Group Chat - Phan/Jaspar/Zouise/Marfie

20.

"Why would you take drugs Dan, and how did you get hold of them!" I asked once the nurse had finished looking over Dan and had left the room.

"I'm sorry phil, I didn't think this would-"

"Dan you took drugs that give you heart attacks and could cause death! what did you think was going to happen!" I shouted at him, walking round the room as Dan began to cry a little.

"Guys," Marcus said, gesturing for the others to exit the room, leaving me and Dan alone.

"The same people that we saw at the park, they found me again," He began and I stopped at the end of his bed to look at him.

"the attacked me again Phil, they handed the drugs to me and said, die you faggot!" a tear dropped from both our eyes but I kept contact with him as he told his story.

"Why did you listen to them?" I asked, trying to calm down and seeing he was as upset as I was.

"I don't know, I just wasn't thinking, or maybe I was thinking to much!" Dan explained, sniffing and blinking his crying away.

"I just- what about Faye, and me?" I looked deeply into his eyes, dreading hundreds of words that could come out his mouth and hoping on only a few.

Dan looked to the side, not holding his tears back anymore and letting them fall down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I love you both so much and I wasn't thinking. I could never want anyone different to you two," tears came down his cheeks as he looked back up at me.

"I'm sorry for shouting at you, im just glad you're awake and ok now baby," I walked round his bed and sat on it to hug him, tightly.

I had my hands tucked under his back, holding him like he was about to fall. He gripped my hair slightly but it didn't bother me, I was happy to have him back.

We released our hug and we kissed, I cupped his cheeks like they were the most precious thing on earth.

Gentle.

"Hello gentlemen, im just here to tell you how Dan's doing and I'll leave you back to it!" a doctor joked as he entered the room, standing next to the bed smiling.

I stayed seated on Dan's bed and kept hold of his hand. I could tell that the doctor was fine with me and Dan as he seemed pretty happy.

"ok well as you know, Dan, you were in rest for 1 and a half days, today being the half! We'd like to keep you in overnight just to make sure that everything is defiantly fine with you, but you seem pretty good to go. How do you feel?" He explained and we listened carefully, both happy when he said things were fine.

"I feel great! but am I good with walking and everything like that? will it be the same as before?" Dan asked and I suddenly began to get worried.

Will anything be different at home? Will Dan need any type of medication to stop him from taking drugs again? Will he walk?

"Well, you will need to take thrombolytics daily but walking and activities should be the same. You may feel quite tired and dizzy for the first couple of weeks when walking around though," He explained.

"How long will he need to take the medication?" I asked, thinking maybe a couple months, a year at the least.

"Well, since Dan was in a coma, he will need to take medication," He said slowly, stopping before saying how long. "for around 5 or 6 years,"

I felt Dan's hand squeezed mine as he looked up at me. I took a deep breath, holding back any more tears that may be hiding away inside me.

"I'm sorry, I know all of this has been hard for you. Get some rest Dan, it will help. Um, Phil?" He asked me and I nodded.

"could, I have a chat please? about how much thrombolytics to give Dan each day," He walked out the room and waited for me to follow him.

I pecked a kiss of Dan's forehead and whispered 'I love you' into his ear as I left the room, watching his eyes close once again.
