~Dan~
I ran as fast as I could to Charlie's house, which happened to be off campus. I could barely see the ground in front of me, let alone all the people I was bumping into. The tears burned my eyes and I heard sobs escaping from me as I saw blurred heads turn to look at me. I didn't care. I needed someone to talk to. I finally got to Charlie's house and stood outside trying to catch my breath and wipe away the tears before I rang the doorbell. Not two seconds after I rang it, Alex, his flat mate, opened the door. "Jesus kid, are you okay? Come in!" He gestured. "B-But Is Charlie h-here?" I was still sobbing and shaking. "Yeah, he's here. CHARLIE!" He yelled up the stairs. "Would you like some tea or coffee?" I didn't answer him. As soon as I heard Charlie yell from upstairs, I took off towards his voice.

"What is it Alex?" He stepped on top of the stairs. I stopped in front of him, I couldn't do or say anything, and I froze.  "Dan! What are you doing here? What's wrong?" He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his bedroom. It wasn't until I was on his bed that I broke down. I felt like a little kid trying to explain what happened while I was crying hysterically. I told him everything that had happened in the last six months between me and Phil.  He listened to me ramble all night about every single detail. Alex had brought in some tea and asked if we needed anything else. "Do you have anything to help this headache of mine?" I asked regretting the running and the sobbing. He returned later with medication and Charlie and I continued talking.

"Dan. I know you don't want to do this, but you're going to have to go back." He said exactly what I was thinking. "I know." I said with a sigh. "Can you come with me?" I honestly didn't want to go back by myself. Phil was furious when I left. Who knows how mad he was now. He paused for a moment. "Uh- Yeah, sure. Let's go Dan." He said and with that we were off.

The walk back was dreadful. My eyes were burning, my legs were sore, the wind was blowing and it was freezing. "Walking around at midnight in February wasn't a very smart thing to do." Charlie said with a chuckle, obviously trying to lighten the mood. "Messing with someone's life wasn't a smart thing to do either." I said. I felt guilty about what I was doing to Phil. He was right. I didn't know anything about him. My mind wandered to before I screwed up everything. Phil looked so happy. It was the first time I had ever seen him truly laugh and smile. He was so perfect when he was happy. Why did I have to ruin it for him?

We got to the door for my room. I didn't hear anything inside. I didn't move, nor did i breathe. "Are you ready?" Charlie said placing a hand on my shoulder. I just shook my head no in reply. "We have to do this." I reached into my pocket, and grabbed my keycard. I opened the door, held my breath and walked in.

"Phil?" I shouted. The place seemed empty. He hadn't slept in his bed yet. I walked around the corner into the kitchen/dining room area. My scream must've woken up the whole building. I ran towards Phil on the floor. Charlie came running in. "Call an ambulance!!" I yelled at him. Charlie did as he was told and phoned A&E. "Phil, Phil, don't worry. We're going to get you to the hospital alright?" I told him while picking him up in my arms.  He was so limp. I figured he was dead. There were pills and empty bottles everywhere around him. "GOD DAMMIT PHIL YOU CAN'T DIE. NOT NOW!" I screamed at him. I sat there and rocked him in my lap until the medical recuse people came and took him away.

I stayed with Charlie that night, and for the rest of the week. I wasn't allowed to see Phil that week. They pumped his stomach, but he slipped into a coma. They weren't sure when he would wake up. I was a mess. I was worried sick. 'It was you Dan, you made him do this.' Was the only thought going through my head that week. By the 17th day, the doctors allowed visitors to visit Phil. Charlie and I went twice a week, for two weeks. We didn't do much. We talked to each other, we talked to Phil, other times we just read.

The third week, Charlie was visiting his family for his mums birthday, so I went to see Phil alone. I started talking to him. I told him I was so sorry for everything I did to ruin his life. I was blaming myself for this. "Phil. I'm sorry I put you in here. It's my fault. It's a very horrible place. I know that if you were awake, you would want out. I hope whatever you're dreaming about is a happy place; someplace better than this crummy place." I saw something move. I looked at his hand. "Phil, did you move your hand? Can you hear me? Move your hand again. Phil?" I was getting excited. He was listening to me. His fingers twitched and moved slowly. I looked at his face for any signs of waking up, but there was none. He kept moving his fingers. "Phil, I knew you could pull through!" I said excitedly and gave him a hug.
