Sorry I've been away for a while, but I'm here now! Nothing has gone on in the world of Caitlin but I will tell you what has happened.

I hit 100 subscribers on YouTube - yey! Link here to my channel (#cheekySPON) -

I got like 5 more internet friends even though I'm not social so what the fuck?

I got a side fringe and dyed my hair blonde.

Yeah that's practically it... I told you I haven't been busy what did you expect.

Chapter 20

Summer's P.O.V

Throughout Jaces' time in hospital, I didn't want to do anything at all. I hardly left my room which has made me think about a lot of things in life.

I'm at that age where it is natural to question your sexuality but I'm still confused. I know I'm not a lesbian but I'm still attracted to girls in a way. So that would make me bisexual? I don't know, I'll have to think about it.

I was laid in bed aimlessly scrolling through Facebook when Phil walked into my room.

'Summer?' He asked

I grunted

'Can I talk to you for a second?'

I grunted again, closing my laptop, setting it on the ground and sitting up to talk to Phil.

'Me and Dan think that it might be best to get you a doctors appointment, you aren't eating properly and you never leave your room any more. We aren't gonna force you into anything but it might help,' He rubbed my knee reassuringly.

That is what I loved about Dan and Phil, they never forced me into anything I didn't want to and only did things I was comfortable with.

'Yeah sure, whatever,' I nodded. I wasn't really bothered what they did, all I knew was that my best friend was in hospital barely alive.

'You sure?'

I nodded again.

'Okay, we will get it booked. Do you want to watch a film with us?'

'Yeah,' I smiled slightly. 'I'll just put my pyjamas on,'

'Okay,' He smiled back, walking out,'

I got out of bed, sliding out my day clothes and into a giraffe onesie.

When I reached the living room, they had Big Hero 6 at the ready with popcorn and cans of Fanta. They are awesome.

I sat myself next to Phil, at the end so it went like this: Dan, Phil then me. Phil smiled at me then pressed play.

*Dan's POV*

Half way through the film, Summer started drifting off, I don't blame her though, she looked knackered. Me and Phil are so glad she obliged to the doctors appointment. We are extremely worried about her.

She eventually fell asleep on Phil's shoulder.

'Dan,' Phil whispered 'Shall I carry her to bed,' He gestured to Summer's sleeping form.

'Er, yeah, I'm off now anyway,' I rubbed my eyes.

Phil nodded 'I'll clear up in here then join you,'

'You sure?' I asked and he nodded again.

As he picked Summer up, I got up and made my way to my room, striping to my boxers and climbed into bed. Phil came in a short while later.

'I'll clean tomorrow,' He yawned, stripping down to his boxers as well. I couldn't help but stare at him, well, I'm allowed to.

'You checking me out?' He wiggled his hips slightly, winking.

'Get in here you buffoon before you turn me on too much,' I rasped slightly, licking my lips after.

'Oh, so I turn you on do I,' He placed his hands on his hips.

'Phil,' I whisper-yelled.

'Sorry babe,' he giggled 'Tomorrow, I promise,'

Phil climbed into bed with me, pecking my lips before wrapping his arms around his stomach and pulling me close.

'Love you,' I whispered

'Love you too,' He whispered back

I awoke still wrapped in Phil's arms but he was still asleep, snoring lightly. I de tangled myself from his arms and exited the room.

I checked Summer's room, she was still asleep, bless her.

It was 9:12 am.

I rang up the nearest counselling and booked an appointment for later on, 4:30 pm.

I turned on the kettle, yawning as I did so.

Summer walked in when I opened my eyes. I really hope she's okay.

Summer's P.O.V

I woke up in my bed, which is funny, I don't remember coming here. Oh, Dan or Phil must've carried me into here.

I climbed out of my warm bed, swaying a little as I did so and walked into the kitchen.

'Morning Sum,' Dan smiled 'Want a cuppa?'

'Yeah go on then, please,' I yawned, rubbing my eyes.

'I've booked an appointment at half 4, if that's okay,' He handed me my tea.

'Yeah, it's fine,' I sipped my tea 'Is Phil up yet?'

'Nah, not yet, should be soon though. I'm toasting crumpets, want one?'

Once he said that I felt a sudden urge to eat something so I nodded, sipping me tea once again.

The morning was uneventful, I spent most of it in my room, as usual. Well, until 4:30 that was.

The building was a house converted into counselling place, it was quite small.

We walked through the entrance and there was a reception in front of us with a lady sat at it.

'Hello, do you have an appointment?' The lady -Barbra- asked smiling.

'Yeah, in the name Howell-Lester please,' Phil smiled back.

'Yes, I have it here, Miss will you please go through that room, Catherine will be waiting for you, I'm afraid your parents will not be allowed in with you'

I walked through into the room and there was a bunch of children my age and older sat around the room.

A smell of salted caramel surrounded me, calming me in a way.

There was a woman, older than the rest of us, mid 40's maybe?

'Okay everyone settle down, take a seat,' She smiled and directed to the circle of chairs. I sat near the door, where not many people were.

'So, starting from Jackie,' She pointed to a purple-haired girl who was two seats away from me 'You shall state your name, age and why you're here, we have a few new ones today,'

Jackie started 'My name is Jackie, I'm 17 years old and I'm here because my ex girlfriend abused me,'

The boy next to her started 'I'm Wilson, I'm 16 and I joined her today because my Mum is dying in hospital,'

Then me, I stood up slowly 'I'm Summer, I'm 16 and I'm her because my best friend is in hospital so I'm not leaving my room and so and so,'

I slumped back down in my chair again fiddling with my wrist bands. I felt like someone's eyes were burning into the side of my head, I looked and Wilson was staring at me. He smiled quickly and averted his eyes back to the woman talking.
