I Bite My Tongue So You Don't Hear Me

Questions

Dan reached for his phone from his pocket.
He picked it up and Max was calling.
'Hey any news?' Dan got straight to the point.
'Well an ambulance just showed up outside with Austin being pulled out from the back'
Dan gasped. It turns out Austin isn't so tough he thought.
'Look I'm gonna try and get ahold of Josh so I hope Genma gets better see you mate'

Dan put the phone back in his pocket.
He sat back down in the chair beside her bed.
'I got some news' Dan informed her 'Apparently Austin has been admitted here as well'
Gemma gasped.
She was in utter shock.

After an hour of waiting.
The others showed up.
They burst into the room.
Josh had a few bruise here and there.
Matt had a black eye but Chris was clean of scars.
They all pulled up some chairs.
'So what happened?' Dan asked moving to the edge of his seat.
'Well we began shouting' Matt begun
'Then punches where suddenly being thrown' Chris added
'But he got a knife from his pocket but Chewy here grabbed it and stabbed him instead he is a hero man' Josh finished grinning.
'The best part is Chewy doesn't get sent down because it was an act of defence' Max smiled
They all exchanged grins.
'So how are you doing?' Matt asked looking at Gemma.
'Well I'm off the ventilation which is good and my breathing has calmed down' She answered.

A few hours passed by.
It was 11pm and the guys had left two hours ago.
Gemma had fallen asleep.
Dan was staring at her fragile sleeping body.
He was thinking through everything.
He left the room and went to the nurse station.
Dan asked the nurse where Austin's room was.
She guided him to his room.
Austin was awake when Dan walked in.

Austin sat up in surprise.
'Suprised to see you here' Austin greeted as Dan leaned against the door.
'Do you regret it?' Dan asked staring at him.
'Hurting her' Austin began 'I don't know'
'How could you not know? How did she deserve that?' Dan questioned.
'She was off the rails! Always moody such a bitch!' Austin yelled.
'She is mentally ill!' Dan shouted back
Austin opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself.
'She was ill' He repeated
Dan raised an eyebrow.
'You didn't know' Dan mumbled 'Look wether you knew or not no one deserves that' Dan spat reaching for the door knob.
'Tell her I'm sorry' Austin said as Dan left.
'Its a bit late for that' Dan mumbled to himself as he closed the door.

He sighed walking back to Gemma's room.
How could she not tell him.
Why did he do that to her.
Dan was always left with questions.
That where always left unanswered.
