We'll Make This Perfect Again

I was awoken by the sound of my phone. "who the fuck is calling at 2 am" I grumbled as I rolled over and checked my phone. It was mike,I answered quick knowing he wouldn't call at this of night for no reason. "hey,is everything ok?" I asked urgently. " aw fuck Matt is all my fault I shouldn't have called him I should've-" mike broke off sobbing. I had no idea what was going on but mike sounded drunk and very distraught. "mike, its all right. Calm down and tell me what happened." " dude I I I was at the bar and I had a little to much and I called Josh, you know you know how he always says to,if we need too" mike broke down in tears again. Now I was fully awake and I started freaking out. " DUDE WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU GUYS OK?!?" mike Sobbed but tryed to talk "Josh was driving me home and and I I Idunno what happened man just the car *sobs* the car a car there was a car and idk I woke up and paramedics were taking josh to the hospital." Josh. Josh. Josh was in an accident? With mike? What? "mike, is Josh ok? Is he going to be alright?" " I don't know man I don't know I'm at the hospital now and they told me to call some one and I didn't know who else to call" mike said while crying. "shit. Ok. I'm leaving now" I barely whispered. What's going to happen to Josh? Is he going to be ok? Am I going to have to loss my best friend? The questions just kept coming.

*****

I sped to the hospital the whole drive I was freaking out. Josh and I have know each other since high school. We've been threw so much together,after all of joshs problems, bulimia and heroin, he got clean and we started our band with mike and Ian. I remember all our shitty gigs we did just to get signed and how Josh worked his ass off. He always was the musical guy I knew. "FUCK" I screamed. Why the fuck am I think about him in a past tense. He's going to be ok, he has to be....

I ran threw the ER doors "Sir? SIR? SIRRR?" a nurse yelled at
Me. I always try my best to be as polite and as nice and humanly as I can,that's just the kind of guy I am, but right now I didn't give a fuck. my best friend was hurt somewhere in this hospital and I was going to find him and make sure he's ok. I ran down the first hall and heard Joshs scream. "UUUUAAAGGHH." I ran towards the terrible but familiar sound. As I got closed I could hear him yelling At a nurse. "FUCK OFF. IM FINE. GET ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING DRESS IM FUCKING LEAVING" at that time a door flew open and out came Josh. Man, he looks like shit, I thought. He had what looked like dirt,burns,cuts and bruise from what I could see, due to the hospital gown he was wearing,(which was disturbingly quite alot) all over him. "JOSH!" I yelled he turned and saw me and stormed over. I gave him a quick hug " dude I so glad your alive!! How do you feel?" " aw common Matt cut out the mushy lovey shit I'm fucking fine just a little tumble,you know how I drive" he smirked. I laughed "alright but please just get check out just to make sure and please go appologise to that poor nurse" "YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID TO ME?!? SHE PUT ME IN THIS FUCKING DRESS WHILE I WAS SLEEPING" he screamed. I justaughed and reminded him its not like he hasn't worn a dress before(we played a show on Halloween once and we all wore dresses) Josh laughed along but his laughter was cut off by a terrible cough. "ok I said you are going back to get checked out" I said with worry. "meh,alright" he wimpered as he sulked back to his room. He turned around at the Dodd and said to me "thanks for coming Matt, I was kinda freaking out you know. All this,the hospital and all that kinda just reminded me of back in the day..." he said shyly. I know what he meant. This whole place reminded him of his time with heroin and I knew it was still hard for hi
"hey" I said playfully punching him "you know I've got your back man, always have, always will." I smiled and he smiled back. "now" I said " get you and your dress back in that room and apologize to that nurse. " oh fuck you" he said and smacked me,turned and walked into the too
I laughed. Despite his choice of language I knew he was smiling and he already felt alot better
