I Need You [Phil/Lacy]

Phil sat in the hospital waiting room for what seemed like hours. He was trying to hold in everything and for once, he was finding it difficult. He went to go visit his mother and when he arrived and spent some time with her, she suffered a heart attack. Quickly, he took her to the hospital and they've been working on her since. Getting up, he decided to make a phone call and see if Lacy would come and stay with him, since he was a bit of a wreck. He just hoped she would, he really wanted to see her.

So he called and waited for her to answer.

"Hey Lacy." Phil said with a sigh. "Are you busy today?"

"I-my Mom had a heart attack and I'm in the hospital. I just-I really could use someone to be here with me. Please?"

"God-- I'll be there as fast as possible."

About half an hour later Lacy walked into the hospital, looking around for Phil.

Everytime Phil would hear the hospital doors open, he would look to see if Lacy had arrived yet, but there was no luck. Finally, he heard the doors open again and he saw her.

"Lacy." he said as he walked over to her.

She walked over to meet him. "What happened?"

"I was just sitting there with her and we were having a conversation when she clutched her chest and I just...I panicked. I had no idea what to do, so I brought her here and she's been attended to ever since." he said.

"I don't know what I'm going to do if I lose her Lace, I already lost way too many people in my life and now...if something happens, I don't know how to....live anymore."

"Okay okay, calm down." she told him, leading him to sit down. "Your mom will be fine. You being tense is not going to do any good so just let everything out right now."

He put his head in his hands, and actually found himself letting out a few tears.

"Everything around me is just falling apart. My mom is in there, holding on for her dear life, my stupid idea for us to not see each other was stupid and now we're just so distant and I think I'm losing you." he said.

Lacy sighed and pulled his head to rest down on her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders the best she could. "Your mom will pull through this, alright?"

"And if she doesn't? What else do I have left?" he muttered.

"Phil..." She bit her lip not knowing what to say as she pulled her fingers through his hair.

"I have nothing." he finished.

"You have your mother." She repeated adamantly. "Because she's going to make it. I need you to realize that she is going to make it."

"I know, I know. You keep telling me she's going to make it, but what if she doesn't? There's always that possibility. I can't just keep thinking she is going to make it, when there's that chance she may not. Then what? What's left for me?" he asked again.

"Lacy, I need you. I need my mom, I need everything that I once had when everything was alright. I want things the way they used to be." he told her as he stood up and walked over to the window, looking outside.

"Not everything is okay even if you say it will be. You should know that." he said not looking at her.

"Phil, I'm here. You know that. You said you wanted time apart."

"That was a mistake." he said.

"I was such an idiot. I thought it would be best for us, but obviously, it's not. If only, it made things awkward between us and I hate that."

"But I'm here for you now. I have to admit that I don't know how to feel right now. I don't know if you want me anymore, but I'm not important right now. Your mom is."

He looked at her confused.

"I do want you. I thought you didn't want me anymore." he stated.

"We'll talk about it later." she said as the doctor walked out.

"Phil Brooks?"

"Yes?" he asked as he walked over to where the doctor was.

[I'm heading to bed...I'm going into work tomorrow lol...night!]

"Your mother is just fine. Luckily, her heart attack wasn't too major. You're lucky you got her here in time, though."

He let out a sigh of relief and nodded.

"How is she doing though?"
