Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

I groan at my pounding headache and the constant beeping isn't helping.

"Dan? Oh my gosh! Phil! He's awake!" I open my eyes to see a pair of brown-green eyes above me then paired a few seconds later by a pair of electric blue.

I quickly shut my eyes because the brightness hurts my head.

"Dan? Come on. Don't go back to sleep." A northern accented male voice greets my ears.

"Fine." My throat is really dry, and it feels like a rat's nested in it for the past week. I open my eyes and see a very tired, but now happy, Addi and Phil. I try and sit up and pain hits me like a train.

"Oh, nope." I groan and hold my side. It's heavily padded with gauze and now there's a thin red line coming through it.

"Oh crap you tore your stitches. I'll get Doctor Howard." Addi says standing.

"What-?" I start but stop by my left hand being squeezed.

I turn my eyes on Phil, "I'll explain everything."

<><><><>

"I was fucking stabbed?" I say very confused. "By who?"

"We don't know. The police thinks it may have been an angry fan." Doctor Howard tells me looking all official in a white lab coat and a clip board. "Luckily, the knife missed anything vital, so you should be okay b-"

"Okay? How could I be 'okay? I got fucking stabbed!" I say slightly enraged.

Addi and Phil squeeze my hands that they're already holding. "Hey," Addi says. "We'll get through it."

That slightly comforted me. I have a confession. I still liked Addi. A lot. I never really told her I liked her as just a friend, but then again she never asked so it was okay right? I'm really glad she was the first person I saw after I woke up.

"I'll come and check up on you later." The doctor says and walks out understanding that I needed to talk to my friends.

"Bloody hell." I sigh.

"Dan," I look up at the two people in crumples sweats, too big T-shirts, and ruffled hair in front of me. Phil says, "We'll find him."

"And when we do I'm going to break them." Addi says glaring at a spot on the white linoleum floor.

Phil and I glance at each other and laugh at the image of Addi, who had a very slight build at five feet three inches and couldn't weigh more than 130 pounds, breaking someone.

"Hey!" She says pushing Phil in the arm and lightly hitting my leg. "I grew up on a farm, I can hurt someone if I need to!"

"From pure adrenaline." I mutter.

"Then I guess you wouldn't want these Maltesers that I picked up." She hums holding up a red package of my favorite candy.

"You could take down any big man that tried to attack you." I say with a now completely straight face. She throws the package at me and I rip it open.

"Hey what about me?" Phil asks fake pouting. "Are you stabbed?" She asks.

"No but-" Phil starts then stops at another package hits his chest. "Thank you!"

We're eating our candy and talking when we hear the door start to open. "It's a nurse!" Addi whispers and I pop another few into my mouth and attempt to shove the rest of my package under the covers. Addi sits on hers and Phil shoves his up his shirt.

"Okay Mr. Howell I'm here to change your bandages. My name is Lindsey and are you eating candy?" The nurse asks. She has dark brown hair pulled into a bun. She looks to be around forty and her blue eyes are looking at us suspiciously.

"Umm no?" Phil mumbles while Addi tries not to laugh and I slowly crunch the ones in my mouth.

"I'll let it slide if I get a couple." She winks pulling off the now red cotton on my side.

We each hand her a few. "I'll be back in a couple of hours." She says writing on the clipboard at the foot of my bed. "Just thought I'd let you guys know that visiting hours are over at seven."

"She ate our Maltesers!" I whine.

"It's okay I've got a few more packages." Addi winks and opens a bag full of food.

"Oh good I thought we were going to starve."
