Phan - The runaway - Part: 4

Dan POV

They were walking down the street, laughing and smiling about the movie they'd just seen, when Chris suddenly stopped up and screamed. Dan had never heard anything more frightening than that scream, he looked at Chris who pointed at something, and then he turned his head against it.

Dan stood in chock, behind him he heard PJ pull out his phone and call for an ambulance, Chris just sat on the ground and cried, Dan wanted to do the same, but he had to check if the boy was even alive.

He hurried over to the boy, and sat down beside him, in the puddle of blood. He grabbed the boy under the arms cautious and pulled him onto his own lab, he checked the boy's pulse and let out a sight when he found it, it was faint, but it was there.

"He's still alive!" he called at PJ who brought on the information to the person he was talking with, Dan looked down at the boy again, in the same moment the boy opened his eyes and stared into Dan's eyes.

Dan had never seen anything like those eyes before, he felt like they gazed into his soul, they were reading him like an open book.

Dan woke up and looked around him, he felt sweaty and damp.

He checked the time on his phone, it was 9 am, so his mom had already left for work.
He decided to take a shower and then head for the hospital himself, he needed to check if the boy was awake yet, especially after his dream last night.

After the shower he put on some clothes, straightened his hair and hurried outside. Headed towards the hospital, when he arrived he quickly found his way to  the room he knew the stranger boy was staying in.

He didn't know if he felt disappointed, relieved  or what he felt when he saw the boy still sleeping in his bed, it was just mixed feelings. He sat down in the chair beside the bed and looked around in the room, next to the boy's bed stood a sports bag and on top of it laid the clothes he'd been wearing the night they found him, the clothes had been cleaned of course.

He looked at the boy, he really was beautiful, even though he was covered in bruises. Dan sighted, why did he think this way, the boy was a stranger AND he was a boy. He placed his face in his palms, he felt so confused about anything at the moment, he sat there for a long time, just thinking, but his thoughts was suddenly cut off by a weak voice.

"Who are you?"

Dan looked at the boy with a chock placed upon his face, he was awake?!

"I... eh my..." he stumbled over the words, still looking at the boy he took a deep breath "I'm Dan..iel" his cheeks flushed as he presented himself, he looked at the floor.

"Daniel?..."
