What about Phil?

Phil's POV

I was telling Dan about Ingrid's past boyfriends until my phone starting ringing, I picked up the phone and put it on speaker if it was the hospital.

"Hello?" I said into the speaker

"Hi yes, sorry to disturb you Mr Lester, but we have good news for you and your family, Ingrid Lester is now awake! if you want to see her, you may come in now, but she may not be able to speak"

"Thank you for calling," I said before the hospital hung up

"Wait what the fuck!? Is that real?"

"I hope so"

"Well we should go then"

"Hang on, what if it was a prank"

"It was literally the nurse's voice"

"You're right, I'm just being paranoid, call a taxi!"

Dan called a taxi which was going be here in about ten minutes, we stood outside the front door until Dan got a text on his phone saying that the taxi had arrived.

Once we got this message we started sprinting down the staircase so we could see Ingrid as soon as possible.

Once we made it in the hospital, we sprinted up the stairs to Ingrid's ward and down the hall to her section, the light blue curtain was pulled back, we stood there, watching Ingrid lie in her hospital bed with her eyes open, I slowly walked forward. Ingrid's eyes darting back and forth like she was a crazy person. I felt tears forming in my eyes and then I felt a hand on my shoulder, Dan.

Ingrid's POV

"YOU BITCH" I heard in my head, I tried blocking out the sounds by covering my ears like a child scared of rain clashing against the windows of a house. The room started changing for the third time in a row. This time the room smelled like birthday cake, but there was no cake to be seen. A dark figure walked towards me, I started looking around me, seeing a knife on the floor I quickly grabbed it and put it behind me, for later.

Suddenly I started scrambling backwards trying to get away from the figure, but he caught up to me and grabbed me firmly picking me up, I started screaming for help but no one came to help.

"HELP, HELP, HELP!!!!!"

"NO ONE'S EVER GOING TO HELP YOU"

"LIAR"

The figure slapped me, I tried to pull a hand to my cheek, but he pulled my hand down and picked me up, carrying me towards a sofa, then throwing me down, I managed to roll off the sofa, but I fell onto wooden floor and tried to start running but I limped all the way to the door, I tried to open the door but the figure came up behind me saying, "why do you always try? It never works, AND YOU KNOW THIS"

"GET OFF OF ME!!!!!"

"Look at you trying to be strong", he turned me around and took the knife from my hand, he started tutting.

"You don't need this"

"GIVE IT BACK!!!" I started crying

"NEVER! YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS BACK, AND YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE THIS APARTMENT!!"

The room started to fade to black, and I saw a familiar face, PHIL!

I tried to speak but nothing worked, I then saw another face that didn't seem to recognise in my brain, but my entire body remembered the person.

"Ingrid, can you see me?"

I opened my mouth to try to speak but nothing came out, my eyes stopped darting around the room and I nodded in agreement. I saw Phil smile, I love his smile and I hadn't seen it in a while, I giggled or at least tried. The strange unrecognisable figure sat down beside me, I darted my eyes over to him, I opened my mouth to say, "who are you?", but only squeaks escaped from my voice box.

"Ingrid," I saw tears forming in his eyes as I stared at him blankly. He inhaled deeply and then gently took my hand, if I could I would've moved my hand away from him but for some reason, I couldn't move a single part of my body.

"Ingrid, this might be scary for you to hear but...... the reason you cannot move your arm is that.. its still recovering from being broken"

The figure leaned in closer, I felt petrified, but I couldn't move so my eyes widened, and I looked over at Phil for help, but he just took my hand. "after the accident"

What accident? What is happening? I didn't know this man and yet he was acting like we have been in love for many years. Oh God someone get this man away from me PLEASE
