'Can't do this without you, Si.'
'It's a good thing you don't have to.'

'Jo-osh?' I heard Simon call up the stairs.
'Yeah?' I shouted back.
'I'm taking Cal to see Harry, are you coming?'
'Yeah, gimme a second.'
I grabbed some clothes and threw them on quickly. I was gradually losing hope for Harry's condition, as he was still completely out, but I wasn't going to stop seeing him.
I also wanted to be near Simon- just in case.
We drove in silence. Cal just stared at the lockscreen on his phone; a photo of him and Harry.
I watched Simon drive from my seat in the back, watching his face and the tense muscles in his shoulder. My eyes never left him until we arrived at the hospital, and even then I made sure our hands were together.
I couldn't risk anything, after what happened to Harry.
Simon knew his way around the hospital by now, as a few times he had visited Harry alone.
I only visited him alone once. I didn't like how cold the room was; it was spooky, and it reminded me of what could happen in the future.
We sat by his bed, the three of us.
It was quiet, still. No one moved.
Except Harry.
'HIS HAND!' Cal yelled, as Harry's hand moved slightly.
'Cal- it could just be a nerv-' Simon started.
'It's him.' Cal replied firmly, his face coated in joy.
We stayed where we were as doctors rushed in and out of the room.
Then, all of a sudden, he was awake.
'Harry.' Cal cried, his voice hoarse, as the boy smiled weakly.
'You're in hospital, bog.' I told him, as he looked around confused.
Suddenly, he was struck with realisation.
'I remember.' he mumbled. I looked at Simon, then at Cal.
'I heard everything. I remember everything.' he said clearly- but when I looked back at him, he wasn't looking intently at Cal.
He was looking at Simon.
