~mentions of self harm~

Dan woke up to the sound of birds outside. He felt quite hungry and couldn't be bothered to get out of bed.

"Phil... can you get me some cornflakes please."

"Phil?? Phillll??  Can you get me some cornflakes please...."

Then he remembered. Phil was at hospital, not at home. Dan eyes brimmed with tears.

He was going to visit Phil at hospital again today as he had put off the idea for 2 days because he felt way too depressed to even leave the apartment.

He put some clothes on ,headed into the kitchen, and grabbed some cereal. He hadn't eaten properly since Phil was in the coma as everything that went in came back out again.

Dan plonked himself on the sofa where Phil normally sat and turned on the tv to find the news talking about road safety.

A couple of days ago a young man was hit by a car because he wasn't looking when he crossed the road. He was put in hospital and now is in a coma... I wonder how his family feel about this accid-

"Oh fuck off... you don't even know half of the story!"

Dan switched off the tv and chucked the remote across the room in anger. He hated how the news were using Phils injury as a way to show people that looking left and right could save your life.

~fast forward to Dan at the hospital~

"Yeah I'm here to see Mr Lester. I think it was floor 2, room 022."

"Yep that's correct. Visiting time ends in half an hour and then you can come back in 3 hours"

"Ok"

Dan strolled up the corridor when I nurse approached him.

"Excuse me dear I don't mean to get involved but you seem to have many cuts on your arm and I'm a little concerned."

"Oh those... er well.. they are fine I went to visit my uncle and he has a dog who kept.. erm .. scratching me.. Yh it was a puppy."
Dan felt his face go red. He didn't like lying but it was the only way out of this situation. " I have to go.. have a nice day"

"Oh ok goodbye"
The women walked off down the corridor and disappeared around the corner.

Dan tugged at his sleeves trying to stretch them enough to cover the cuts but it wasn't working.

" crap!" Dan shouted.

He soon got to Phils room. He looked quite peaceful for someone who was in a coma. Maybe he'd woken up.

Dan walked in quietly and cleared his throat.

"Hi Phil!"
No answer.
"Phil? It's Dan I've come  to visit you.."

A tear escaped down Dans face. Phil wasn't awake yet.

"Sooo maybe you can hear me... just not react or move...  like the girl from that anime who was in a coma and she could hear things but not move or speak! I hope your doing well... can't wait for you to come back it's getting super lonely without you... I miss you more than ever... I still haven't gotten my fix of happiness" Dan chuckled at what he had said.
"When you get back we can have a marathon of anime and eat only marshmallows and popcorn... that sounds ok doesn't it ? So I need you to keep fighting.. for me, for your parents, for your future husband.. erm.. or wife obviously and erm kids and stuff... anyway I'm gonna go now cause I've got things to do like... washing up the dishes and cleaning things that need to be cleaned.... bye Phil .. lov-miss you.."

Dan stroked Phils hair and said goodbye and left.

He hated the fact that Phil couldn't respond.
He couldn't stand the fact that he hadn't saw Phils ocean blue eyes for 4 days straight. He just wanted his little lion back.

Dan went home and fell asleep for a few hours. Of course he didn't have to wash up, there were  no plates or anything to clean because dan hadn't eaten much.
