Emptiness Inside Of Me (a Bastille fanfiction)

Chapter 6 - Recovery

---------

"Will he be okay, doctor?"

"He will be fine eventualy, but there will be some traumas."

I opened my eyes briefly. The smell of antispetic and the white ceiling and walls gave me a clue of where I was. A hospital.

"Guys, he woke up!" I heard Woody's voice.

I turned my face towards where I heard the noise and saw my mates and a doctor staring at me.

"Dan!" Will exclamed.

"What happened to me..?" I asked confused. I really wanted to know what was up with me.

The doctor took some papers and came next to me.

"You got druged."

No shit Sherlock.
"W-what kind of drug was it?" I asked a bit worried.

"Rape-drug. It workes as a hypnotic,but it also numbs your body so you don't feel anything while you are asleep." he explained.

"Those chicks really did want to get in your pants." Kyle chuckled,but everyone glared at him.

"Anyways, it is harmless, well it's not a good use of the word in this situation but I'll go with it, tho if it is administrated in large doses it can cause comas or any other severe traumas."

I cannot lie, I got a bit freaked out. I didn't want to die.

"Will I be okay, doc?" I asked, almost shyly.

"Yes, son. You will be fine. You just need some rest." he smiled gently and patted me on my back.

The doctor went out of the room, leaving me and my mates alone.

"Dan, we just hope you feel okay." Will told me.

I nodded.

"We got really worried. I even called your parents and Kathleen..." Woody statted.

"...and Charlie.." Kyle mumbled.

I widened my eyes and almost jumped out of the bed. Thanks God, I had a perfusion implanted in my vein to keep me pinned to it.

"YOU DID WHAT?" I shouted.

'Dan, they needed to know!"

"NO! THEY DIDN'T!" I tried calming down a bit. "They will freak out. I know mom and I know Kathleen. They are going to lose their minds."

"Umm...yeah..." Woody said checking his phone.

We all looked at him,but I was anxious to see what he was up to.

"What is it?"

"Well..ha..funny story..." he laughed sarcastically."Umm..actually Kath is actually on..on her...ha..."

Oh Lord, what did they do.

The door slammed open as I saw Kathleen storming in and running next to my bed. Her eyes were red and she was paler than before.

"Jesus, Kathleen!" I exclamed as she hugged me really tight.

"I was so worried! I took the first plane leading to L.A." she told me not letting go.

I could feel her heart beating super fast. She did get a little too scared. She really cared about me. I felt my stomach tie in a knot.

"You shouldn't have.. I...I am sorry.." I apologized.

"Stop, just stop apologizing. I am your best friend. I am allowed to be overly-worried.." Kath laughed, wiping away some tears that fell from her beautiful green eyes.

"Gosh, Kath, if all people were like you, the world would've been a better place." Kyle smiled, embracing her from the back.

Kath started talking to the others, leaving me some seconds to contemplate. I don't know what I feel anymore. This little gesture she made for me, taking the plane and heading from London all the way to L.A. just to make sure that I am alright is...is...so precious. She portrais how a true best friend should be like. I love her. And I love her so much, I don't even know if it is a friendly love anymore.

Although..nothing beats my love for Charlie. I don't even know why I love her more than Kath. What is it so special about her that it drives me crazy? She is a bad girl and everyone knows that. Almost the opposite of me. She loves bad, fierce, confident guys and I am just a shy awkward nerdy boy. I'm not her type...

"How was your drugging sesion, Daniel? Pretty bad, am I right?" I heard her voice.

I widened my eyes and I looked at the door just to see Charlie, with her arms folded, having a fake smirk plastered on her face. It was an awkward silence as everyone was staring at her.

"Ch-Charlie?" I asked almost thinking I was just dreaming.

"Who else?" she smiled kindly and headed towards me.

"Wh-why.." I mumbled, frowning my eyebrows.

She kneeled next to my hospital bed, taking my hand with the perfusion in hers. She looked at her fingers as they traced circles on my skin.

"I was worried. And I wanted to personally talk to you."

I chuckled sarcastically,but she had a serious face on. Kathleen was glaring at her. She never got along with Charlie, whatever I tried to do.

"Don't tell us you flew all the way to America just, cause Dan got drugged." Will said.

"Actually no." she grinned. "Half of my family is in America so I decided to visit them with Seth, my boyfriend, but since I heard that one of my best mates is in the hospital, I got really worried and I decided to visit him." she explained, with a sarcastic tone.

Everyone shut up. She shut them all up. This was her power over everyone.

"Charlie, I'm so glad you are here and I'm sorry for the..the words I said before leaving."

"No..Dan..I am sorry for acting like a bitch...I didn't mean to...I mean..I really..I also do l-.." she stuttered.

She wanted to tell me something,but I could see fear in her big grey eyes. She was scared of something, of someone.

"I really have to leave. You wouldn't understand." she whispered and rushed out of the room.

What is it happening to her? She's not the Charlie I used to know. I need to find out.

(A/N.) Sorry if you find any grammatical errors. The story gets pretty intense, right? What is Charlie hiding from Dan and everyone? How is this Seth guy really like? Well, you will find out in the following chapters. Thank you so much for reading my story tho! You really rule. -KathleenDoll
