Dan's POV:

(Flashback:3 years earlier)

"The view from up here is amazing."I beamed as I looked down at all of London

"Hm y-ya it's great."Phil stammered with his hands coving his eyes

"Phil?"

"Ya?"

"Are you afraid of heights?"I asked as I looked at him cowering

"Just a little bit."He sighed as he uncovered one of his eyes to look at me

"Well don't be,silly."I scoffed as I nudged him slightly "I mean look at the view your missing."I said as I took his hands away from his eyes

"Wow it's so beautiful."he said softly as he looked at London and back at me

"See now heights aren't so bad,you just got to-"I began before Phil's lips crashed into mine and I kissed him back. But wait a minute I'm not gay but it feels right to be kissing him. Then finally he let go.

"Phil!"I said with wide eyes

"I'm sorry."He said with the puppy dog face

"What are you sorry for? For having feelings?"I smirked as I looked over London.

I felt his hand grab mine as he tried not to look directly down,I squeezed his hand reassuringly as a reminder that as long as I'm with him he'll be ok.

(End of flash back)

I couldn't take just watching him lie there,it was utter heart break. The doctors said that Phil was in critical condition from where he was hit in the chest. I began to cry as I stroked his hand,it felt cold and he looked paler then usual,which upset me. It was practically like touching a dead person but except for his deep breathing and the occasional wheezing.

"Mr.Howell would you like something to eat or drink?"The nurse asked with a knock on the door

"No thanks I'm not really that hungry."I replied with a sniffle

"Alright then just call if you need anything."She said sweetly before leaving the room

"The only thing I want is for Phil to wake up."I mumbled.

Ever since Phil got shot the only words that have been echoing through my head have been 'Phil just promise me one thing,promise me you'll be okay.'

And now I'm just hoping that he keeps that promise.

"Hey Dan."The doctor said as he walked in the door

"Hi."I said quietly

"How are you?"He asked with a pat on my back

I looked down at Phil then back at him with a blank expression "I'm doing fine I guess."

"Are you sure about that Dan?"

"Ok I'm not fine,I'm a fucking wreck,I need Phil."I said with a sigh

"It's going to be ok."He said softly as he pulled me into an awkward father,son hug

"I just don't want to live like a time lord anymore because knowing that someday Phil will die and I'll keep on living is seriously to much for me."I muffled as I cried into his shoulder

"It's gotten easier and easier for me,"He said trying to make things seem on a lighter note "But ya I see your point,I know how heart breaking it is to see companion after companion grow older and someday never come back."

"Exactly and I don't think I could live with out my best friend doctor."I said with a sniffle

"It gets lonely and unbearable,I know. But I don't know how I can stop you from being a -wait a minute that's it!" He shouted as he hopped up
