Remarks that cannot be unsaid

[The voices in Phil's head will be italicized, just so it doesn't get confusing]

~~ Phil's POV~~

I wonder what Dan is in hospital for. Oh yes I'm getting ahead of myself, hello brain, my name is Phil, but you already know that.

Anyways, I'm in the clinic with Dr.Cooper, but I call him Dr.Pooper in my head. Oh Phil, stop being so childish. Sorry..

I know, I must be confusing you. Well the thing is, I have the tendency to talk to myself, the odd thing is, that I actually respond. Although the voices aren't always pleasant, I know they tell the truth.

Enough of me, let's get back to the plot line.

"Phil, Phil you're blanking out again. Must we go through this again." The Doctor said with an exasperated sigh following suit.

"Wha- oh, sorry Doc, can I leave now?"

"So long as you remember to take your medication, and visit me at least once more before you go into the housing program." So many rules.

 Phil, you don't need medication, everyone has us in their mind. Shh, not now.

"Okay! Bye Doc." I smiled sweetly at him, regretting it immediately with the look I was receiving from him.

"I'll see you next week, yeah?" The doctor said, I nodded my head, exiting the room. I made my way toward the room where I was staying with the mysterious Brown haired boy. I percieve him to be around 19 years old, but extremely mature.

I grab a cup of water before finishing my quest back to the room, when entering, I notice a sound figure under the covers, I guess he fell asleep. I quietly sit down on my bed, placing the glass of water on the small sidetable, deciding to read a book to occupy my mind.

Half an hour passes and he is still at rest. It is almost dinner time, I figure that I will attempt waking him up. I climb up off my bed, and make my way across the room to where he lays. As I approach, I can hear the light snores being emitted from his mouth. How cute.

I tap him lightly on the shoulder, afraid of causing him harm, but wanting to be forceful enough to wake him. A groan escapes his mouth, he rolls over and rubs the sleep out of his eyes.

"Morning, sunshine." I say with a light giggle evident in my voice, what has honestly come over me. It must be the meds.

"what time is it? I was waiting for you to return, and now here we are." Says the sleep ridden Dan, the exhaustion still clouding his voice.

"It's about half past 6, I figured I'd wake the sleeping beauty from his slumber." I blushed when those words exited my mouth, it wasn't even that funny. Oh well.

"I have your dinn- Oh I'm terribly sorry, am I interrupting anything? I could come back if you'd like me too..." The shy Nurse who goes by the name 'Shay' says.

"Oh no it's absolutely fine, I was just waking Daniel up to let him know that it is getting close to Dinner time, I figured it may be of interest to him." I said confidently, enjoying the self-reassurance.

"Oh, very well then, I'll set your food down and leave you to it, a doctor should be in soon after to assess your impending dispatch dates." She relayed, before briskly exiting the decent sized room. Well, she was in a hurry.        

I sit down and play with the slightly edible food with the end of my fork, gold star treatment. A question has been on my mind for a little while now, I just don't know what I want the answer to be. 

"Dan, could I ask you a question?" That came out much softer in volume than what was intended. I do hope I don't have to repeat myself. 

"What is it Phil?" 

"Well I know that the doctor had come into talk to you about the housing situation earlier, I was wondering if you had gotten the results.. I just want to at least become acquaintances with the person I'll potentially have to board with for a long while."  

"Honestly Phil, all the Doctor has told me is that there will be two patients assigned a room, same gender, and they will hopefully already be acquainted. That really doesn't narrow the search, I'm sorry I couldn't have been of more assistance. Now, how about that game of cards that was rudely interrupted." With that last sentence, a small smile appeared on Dan's face, how could I possibly turn that down. 

"Well sure, I'll ring the nurse to ask for something we could use to place the cards down." What was that nurse's name? Oh yes, Shay, I'll be sure to ask her and not the old lady who spends a little too much time on her nails then caring for us. 

I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs, it has been twenty minutes, my hope is that everything is alright. 

"Here I am, sorry for the wait, Mr.Walters was having some.. Complications, but you didn't hear it from me. I have this table but I'm afraid it's meant for one bed only, you'll either have to share or not play cards." She looked genuinely sorry for the situation, I decided to think of a solution, I know how incredibly inconveniant it must have been in the first place. 

"If it's alright with my lovely roommate, we could share, thank you for taking the time for us." I say sweetly, she exits the room quietly, taking the tray with her, she really is lovely. If we had met on better terms, I don't believe I'd want to become friends with anyone else.

"So, am I sitting across from you? Or beside you?"  He had a smirk on his face, I almost didn't notice it, luckily I did. 

"Beside me seems to be alright, but it is truly just what you feel comfortable with." I say timidly, almost as though something was telling me to be gentle. I wonder what he's thinking, does he find that ssuggestive? Maybe I should tone it down... Oh god what if he's homophobic, that would be horrible. He doesn't seem like he is but you can't be sure I guess.. I sure hope he isn't. 

"Phil?" I immediately snap out of my trance at the sound of his voice, I wonder if he's been trying to grab my attention for a while now.. I blush, embarrassed by my revelation. Why would he be trying to grab your attention, you are nothing.

"Yeah?" The way he's staring at me, he seems so.. Intrigued, as if I'm the most interesting thing he could be looking at. Well, we are in a hospital, I probably am the most interesting thing he could be looking at.. 

"Sorry, you just zoned out, what card game do you want to play?" 

"How about... Crazy eights?" He tilted his head to the side, looking adorable but completely confused. I guess someone hasn't played crazy eight's before, this'll be interesting. "Come on, I"ll teach you, it'll be fun!"  

And from that point on we sat side by side, laughing, throwing cards at each other and just having fun. It was a welcome change and I can't wait for more moments like that. 

Over and out.
