Even though he was very touched by Francesca's words, he still couldn't look at his best friend. Biting his lip, he finally lifted his eyes to look at Darren. Darren's head was wrapped up after the surgery, his face was wan. Then he noticed the gauze around his arm as well and felt even more pain in his heart.
This wasn't his first time seeing Darren like this. Years ago, when Darren had gotten into the accident, he had been with him all along. But he never thought he'd see the same scene again.
"Dazi..." his voice sounded raspy."I'm sorry!" Looking at his face, his tears couldn't help falling again."I'm sorry for coming so late."
He chewed at the inside of his cheek before continuing, "I just didn't know how to face you. It just hurt so much whenever I thought about how you got hurt because of my sister."
He had a reminiscent look in his eyes as he went on, "Do you remember how we first met?" A sad chuckle left his mouth, "I had a dog after me and you tried to help me. Eventually, we both got injured by the dog and had to go to the hospital to get the injection." He closed his eyes as he could vividly recall that time, "I was very scared of the injection and you held my hand and said, 'It's okay. I'm here. If you focus on me, it won't hurt. ' We were the same age and yet, you were always braver and stronger than me. Even with your reclusive personality, you tried to help me and got yourself hurt as well."
He rubbed his temples as he recalled how he had said to Darren back then, 'Why did you try to save me? Now, we both got hurt. '
And Darren had smiled back at him saying, 'Shouldn't friends be sharing everything?'
Dylan was stunned by his words, 'But we are not friends. '
Little Darren shrugged his shoulders, 'So what? Now that we have shared the same pain, we can be considered to be a bit more close? Soon, we'll be friends. '
Dylan had laughed at him saying, 'That's not how you make friends. '
'Oh? So, you don't want to be my friend?'
Dylan had instantly shaken his head vigorously and repeated, 'I want! I want! I want!'
Darren had laughed at him and ruffled his hair saying, 'You're cute. I think we'll good friends. '
Dylan slung his arm around his shoulder, 'Just good friends? Let's be the best of best friends! Bros for life!'
Darren looked at Dylan's face for a moment longer before nodding agreeably, 'Let's do that. '
Darren who was too matured for his age found someone to shower his protectiveness towards and Dylan who was too sheltered found someone to lean on. They were really an odd pair of best friends.
Dylan's lips parted slightly, "I promised you that no matter what pain, we'd go through it together. I feel like a sinner for being the only one fine right now while you're in this condition. I really feel helpless and lost." He wiped his tears with the back of his hand and went on, "You always say I become a lost puppy without you. You're absolutely right. I am a lost puppy without so please be alright. I still need you."
He thought of something and paused...
"Actually, I think you'd be very angry with me. So, you wouldn't want to wake up for me. But don't forget, I'm not the only one waiting for you. Xiu is also waiting for you."
He wanted to hit him playfully but stopped, "And I'm also angry okay? You didn't even tell me that you're gonna be a father. Or that you got married. How can you hide this from me? This is really unfair. I always share everything with you but you hid something like this from me. And you didn't even tell me I'm gonna be an uncle. Do you know how happy I was to hear this news but I couldn't even come to hug you. I was really mad that I wasn't the first person you shared this with. But..." he took a breath and went on, "But if you wake up, I won't be angry with you, eh? So, please wake up. If you want, I'll never appear before you or Xiu. However, let me at least see you alright? I can't even walk away with you being like this."
He continued to talk to Darren for a long time. In fact, it was just him talking because the other person was unconscious but he didn't mind it. He could talk for a whole day without taking a break but he was having difficulty before his best friend for the first time. That's why he said all the random things he could think of.
It was funny how at this time, he wouldn't even mind if his best friend ignored him for his wife. In fact, he didn't mind any reaction right now. He just wanted to see any reaction. Anything that could set his heart at ease.
Even if he was hesitant about choosing family or friendship yesterday, he wasn't today. He had come to a conclusion already. It wasn't a matter of family or friendship anymore. It was a matter of right and wrong. And he would never stand with wrong. Or else, wouldn't his best friend look down on him?
