You're asleep. Your vision is nothing but darkness.
Then your phone rings.
It wakes you from your sleep and groggily you look at the caller ID.
It was Glen.

The clock said 1am. What would he want?
You answer the phone and you yawn as you say: "Hey Glen?".
But it wasn't Glen. It was his dad. "Y/N. Where are you?".
You yawn before wiping your eyes.
"I'm at home, why what is it?".

There is a silence before he says: "It's Glen".
You automatically panic before you ask frantically: "What's wrong with him?".
His dad explains that he was with Glen in the pub and that in the toilet Glen slipped and hit his head off the washbasin.
"We're at the hospital now. Glen's in surgery-"
"Surgery?!" You gasp, beginning to choke up.

"Yeah" Glen's dad continues. "It was an emergency craniotomy".
You tell him you're on your way to the hospital before you throw on some clothes and drive to the hospital.

When you get to the ward, you see Glen's dad and his mum is there too. Like you, she's crying. When they see you, you go over and hug them before asking them how Glen is. "He's in a private room now. We've been in and he's asleep now. You can go in alone" Glen's dad tells you as he comforts his equally upset mother.

When you go over to the door, as soon as you step in and see Glen there you immediately become a wreck. The part of his head they had to shave to operate on him is clearly visible. You close the door and you dissolve into a flood of tears.
You go and sit over next to him, clutching his hand as you sob violently. You can see that he's breathing but you continue to sob for a further ten minutes.

When you get up to leave you hear a whisper. "Y/N?".
You turn around and you see Glen's eyelids moving before he lets your name slip out his mouth once again.
You look at him, a small bit of happiness burning deep down inside you. Then his eyes flutter open.
He spots you and he whispers with a weak smile: "Y/N".

Your pupils widen and you gasp quietly before running over to Glen.
You immediately sit on the bed and you kiss him. Then you start to cry again.
"I'm so sorry" you mumble as you sob. As you mumble through the kisses you place on his gentle lips, you feel him move his hand and rubbing your back.
"I thought I was going to lose you" you whisper.

He looks at you, his beautiful eyes looking directly into yours which are glimmering as your eyes are outlined with tears.
"Well you're not" he whispers. "I'm alive". Then he smiles.
You smile as you look down on his face. The smile makes your heart flutter as it always has done.

He rubs your back again before he says: "I wouldn't die anyway".
You look at him, once again choking up.

"I couldn't leave you alone here on Earth. 'Up there' there's no one who could replace you. I'm replaceable and you're not" he says before you reply:
"You're irreplaceable to me" you sob, your voice slightly muffled by tears.

He shushes you before he then says: "They put me to sleep during the surgery. And I kept on dreaming: 'When I wake up Y/N will be there'. You got me through it. And even if I did die, I'd still be thinking of you".
You then place your finger over his lips.

"Shut up or I'll be crying even more".
He laughs before you lean down and kiss him. You could see he wanted to kiss you but he was to keep his head resting on the pillow.
You kiss him before you end up resting your head on his chest.

"I love you" he whispers. And you reply the same answer.
