Chapter 31|| "I'm living"

Update: February 17th

-DAN-

I open my eyes, only to squeeze them shut tight as a bright light is in my face.

Opening them again slowly, I see my mum standing across from me, talking to a man.

My eyes wander down the mans long white coat he's wearing. Furrowing my brows, I look to my right slowly, and see a bunch of utensils sitting beside me.

Swallowing hard, I shift uncomfortably in the bed I'm laying in.

"Dan?" I hear a voice call out. It sounds like an echo. There's a small ringing sensation in my ears as I look over to see my mum kneeling beside me.

I feel a drop of sweat drip down my forehead, and I stare at her.

"Oh my god...you're awake!" She smiles wide.

Loui comes up behind my mum and smiles as well.

"Glad to have you back, kiddo.." he says.

I don't say anything. I just lay there silent.
I'm in pain.
I move my head slowly to look at the front of the room.

The bright light is making me sweat a lot. I feel woozy and weak.

"Why am I alive..?" I mumble weakly.

"What, Dan?" Loui asks, looking at me.

Suddenly, I lean over the side of the bed that my mum and Loui are not standing at, and throw up all over the floor.

Nurses quickly scramble to get cleaning supplies as I lean back over, staring up at the ceiling.

"Dan...?" I hear a soft voice say.

Blinking a few times, still trying to get my eyes adjusted to the light, I lift my head up slowly.

Y/N is standing there, her car keys dangling from her fingertips. Her makeup is running all down her face, her hair is a knotty mess, and her lip is quivering as she stares at me.

"Y/N..?" I say quietly before passing out.

I open my eyes slowly once again. I wasn't in a hospital room now. I was in my own room.

How long was I out?

Looking over to my right, I see Y/N curled up next to me, her hand grasping mine.

Opening her eyes, she looks up at me and smiles.

"Hi." She whispers.

"Hi, sweetheart.." I whisper back.

"How are you?" She asks, sitting up cautiously.

I smirk slightly.

"I'm living." I cough slightly.

"That's good," she smiles. "Great, actually..." she goes silent for a minute. "I'm happy you're alive."

"I don't know why I am," I reply, looking over at her. "I died. I should've stayed dead-"

"Dan, do not talk like that." She hisses.

We're silent for a minute.

"Sorry." I reply dryly.

"Its okay." She sighs.

"Okay," I say, sitting up slowly.

I get up off the bed and start walking to my door, but I feel a sharp pain in my stomach.

I hold my stomach and kneel to the floor quickly, grunting.

Y/N runs up behind me, kneeling beside me.

"Are you okay?" She asks, concern laced in her voice.

"Yes," I say, standing up slowly again. "I'm okay." I assure her.

Making my way down the stairs slowly, I shuffle into the kitchen to where my mum and Loui are.

"Hey sleeping beauty." Loui smirks.

"Shut up." I hold back a smile. Y/N walks over to the counter and sits next to Loui as I rummage through the cupboards.

"There's nothing to eat, mum." I whine.

"Can you even keep anything down?" She asks, looking over at me.

"Probably not. I'm fat though, I want food."

Loui lets out a laugh and my mum looks at him quickly.

"You are NOT fat, Daniel." She looks over at me.

"It was a joke, mum," I smile, grabbing a can of soup. "What are the plans for today?" I ask, cracking open the top with a can opener.

"You, mr, need bed rest." My mum looks at me.

"Yeah, you're right," I look at Y/N. "Let's make this soup then let's go watch some movies."
