Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

~Euripides

Mum didn't come home that night or the next day, but she did call. She told me I could go and visit Cassie on Saturday morning.

I took Dan for moral support; I couldn't stand hospitals.

Dan was anxious to meet my sister in such depressing circumstances, but I knew she'd love him as much as I did.

We caught the bus to the local hospital and didn't speak the whole way. I think Dan could feel my nervousness, and did his best to comfort me in little ways: a hand on the knee, a little smile, a ruffle of the hair.

We got to reception and Dan was the one to speak up, asking for Cassandra Lester. We were given a ward and room number, and set off towards the escalators.

On the way up, we bumped into Mum, who gave me a quick hug and nodded politely at Dan before bustling past.

I was a weird mix of excited and nervous to see Cassie, and to introduce her to Dan. When we arrived all of my fears were diminished.

Cassie was sitting up in bed, with a few tubes dotted about but a tired smile on her face.

"Philly! And Dan, I'm assuming? Hi!" her voice was weak and croaky, but it was still her voice, and her eyes were still her eyes, and she was still herself.

"Hi! I'm Dan Howell, nice to meet you, Cassie."

Dan held out his hand and Cassie took it, smiling widely.

"Lovely to meet you, Dan." Cassie replied, winking at me subtly over his shoulder. I took this as her approval and leaned forward to hug her, inhaling her familiar scent that was masked slightly in that overly clean but slightly musky hospital smell.

With Dan by my side, Cassie in my arms, and Mum somewhere getting us all drinks, I had never felt so at home in a place I so detested.

A romance story- the first chapter is up and it's literally my daily thought process, it's so damn relatable. I'm really excited to read it! And I did design the cover which I'm in love with (if you ever need a cover designed, feel free to ask me! It's something I love doing)

I think the a/n is longer than the chapter oops

That's really all from me, hope you enjoyed the chapter and stuff, byeee!
