Chapter 1: Define Love

Start from the beginning
                                        

I woke up again. I must have fell back to sleep the last time? This time I woke up to the voice of my mother.

'OH DAN.' I heard.

''Mum?' I whispered.

'You're okay... You're okay.' She whispered back, her warm hands grasped mine, making me realise how cold I was.

'What happened?' I asked, finally opening my eyes to see my mother looking right at me.

'You were involved in a car accident. A lot of the students have been hurt. But unfortunately you were one of the few to have the worst injuries... It's been two weeks since you were leaving France....'

'What about... Phil? and Chris and Peej?'

'All okay. Phil had a bit of whiplash, Chris and Peej are completely fine.'

I saw a nurse come into the room. 'Daniel, it is lovely to finally see you awake.' A french accident sprang from the woman's lips.

'We will need to keep you in a couple more days... but you will soon be well enough to go home!'

I lay in the hospital room alone. My mum was staying in a nearby hotel with Adrian, who I had not yet seen as he was not allowed in whilst I was in a coma.

I looked to see that my phone had finally charged enough to turn on. I saw 100's of texts display. Most recent from the group chats-

I heard he's woken up! Hopefully he will message us soon! - Peej

I hope so. We love you and miss you Dan! - Louise

I smiled, typing a quick response

I'm alive! - Dan

Dan!! - Peej replied back instantly.

Peej! - I responded. Before clicking into the messages from Phil.

I decided to give him a quick call since to text would take too long. I missed his voice.

The phone rang.

'Hello?!! Bear?' I heard. My lips curved into a smile.

'Cin.' My voice croaked.

'I miss you so much. I'm so glad you are okay!' He responded. I could hear him beginning to cry. ' I wish I could've stayed but we weren't allowed unless we got really badly injured.'

'It's okay... I should be back in a few days...'

' I love you so so much.'

'I love you even more.' I smirked.

After an approximately 1 hour phone call, I placed my phone down and drifted back to sleep.

A week later.


There were a few complications with letting me leave the hospital due to medical insurance. We were finally on the flight back home.

My head still felt rough, I had a broken rib and arm, and a lot of my body was bruised. During the crash my belt malfunctioned and unclipped. Causing me to fly across the bus.

'Missed you.' Adrian muttered as we sat ok the flight waiting for take off.

'Missed you too... So much to tell you once we get back.' I smiled. Thinking about the good memories I made on this trip.

I lay in bed awake. It was strange to be home. I go back into school tomorrow... What will it be like? I get to see Phil again.

I was nervous. Phil had told me how school had changed. Nobody had really made a big deal about us being together, Tyler had been in a similar circumstance to me and was due to start back tomorrow as well.  There was nobody to cause any bullying.

I went to sleep. Nervous to wake up the next day but excited to see Phil.
