Living With Internet

Living With Internet; part 5

Dans POV:

" But why can't we see her now?" Phil questions at the nurse working the front desk. "I-I am very sorry sir b-but she's not awake right now. She is in a very critical state and the doctors forbade any guests." stutters the nurse, stepping back further from her desk. "However, If I can get your phone number I would be happy to call you when she is available to visit sir." She offers, trying to make things right. "That would be great, thanks." I answer quickly before Phil can keep talking, and I rattle off our home number. " Thank you, I will notify you as soon as possible." she says, smiling and returning to work at her computer. On our way home, me and Phil talk about the crash. "I wonder where the family was from?" I ask, but Phil just shakes his head. "No idea Dan, but I'm hoping they can at least save the young girl. She looked so unhappy." He answers sadly, staring at the sidewalk as we enter the flat. "Well I hope she finds a wonderful family to take her in. But until then the least we can do is visit her for company." I answer sighing, as I turn the keys and unlock the door.

*2 WEEKS LATER*
For days and now weeks, Phil has been sitting next to the phone, anxiously waiting for the call to visit the girl. But until now, there has been no news at all. Until January 28th that is. Around 8am we got a call from the hospital and within seconds Phil was out the door. "Come on Dan hurry!" Phil pulls me by my hand and I smile slightly. Even though me and Phil have been flat mates for years any touch sends fire through my body.

No Dan stop this. He's your best friend, you'll get over this.

"Dan?" Phil is looking at me funny, a puzzled look on his face. "What's wrong ? You look upset?" He is staring at my face, into my eyes. My stomach churns and I fake a smile. "Yeah I'm okay, just nervous." Phil just smiles and squeezes my hand and the fireworks explode again. I force my eyes away from his and stare at pavement as we continue walking and my hand is let go of, and drops heavily to my side.

Stop this now Dan. He doesn't feel the same way and you know that. He's just being friendly.

The rest of the walk is silent, but my thoughts aren't. I continuously am scolding myself for feeling this way about Phil. I've had many girlfriends in the past, but none of them gave the same spark inside my heart and makes me feel dazed and warm inside like Phil. No. Stop. He doesn't make you feel like that. Ugh.

The woman at the desk stares suspiciously at the two lanky guys standing before her with matching haircuts and skinny jeans. "Can I.. help you?" She asks, raising her attention from the check-in book. "We are here to see, actually do we know her name?" Phil turns to me and I shrug, worried that we won't be able to get in. Suddenly the young nurse we met the first day smiles when she sees us. "Boys!" She exclaims. "You are awaited in room 221B by a young girl named Lily Gilmore." Phil smiles, grabbing my hand again. "Thank you! He yells and runs towards the lift.

The fireworks explode again in my heart and I feel dizzy.

We take the lift up to level 2 and follow down the hallway to room 221B and stop still outside. "Well?" I ask, looking at Phil who bites his lip and stares at the door. "Do you think she'll like us Dan? I want to cheer her up, but what if we can't?" I smile, and rub his back with my finger tips. He flinches slightly but sighs into my touch and smiles weakly. "It'll be okay Phil. She'll love you, I promise." I pull my hand from his back and stand behind him and watch as he opens the door and steps into the hospital room. "Lily?"
