Just for a Moment

"I'm just so glad you're ok." Matt had woken up and was allowed to have visitors. Joshua was the first one in his room.

"I feel like I've been hit by a truck," he mumbles. Luckily, his injuries were similar to Joshua's; the only differences were Matt had more scratches from glass and bruises.

"It might've been, but I don't remember what it looked like," Joshua says from the chair in the corner. Matt looks at him weirdly, and he explains. "We were at a traffic light, then a car just came out of nowhere. Remember?"

Matt nods slowly. "Yeah, something about a phone or wallet?"

"Mhm. I am so sorry about this."

"It's not your fault. Do you know who hit us?" Joshua shakes his head. "A hit and run type of deal?" Matt said, shocked and confused. He nods.

"Tim said he was going to the police to see what they could do."

"What time is it?"

Joshua looked at the clock on the wall and said, "About 2:30."

"In the morning!?" Matt questions.

"No, the stars and moon out the windows are fake," he chuckles.

Matt smiles at his joke. "Don't make me laugh; it hurts."

"Sorry. You know what the worst part about this is?"

"What? The fact that your car is probably in pieces?"

"While probably true, that's not what I was thinking of. You were supposed to do A Billion Sorrys this week." Matt laughs loudly before immediately regretting it.

"I said don't make me laugh!"

"I'm just trying to cheer you up," Joshua reasons. "If you're up for it, the rest of the cast are here, and they'd probably want to see you."

His eyes widened a bit. "They're here? Wait, shouldn't you all be asleep... at the apartments!?"

"We couldn't leave you alone. So are you up for more people coming in?"

"Uh, sure I guess since they're here." Joshua nods and leaves the room. He tells everyone else that Matt's willing to see them, and they just go around in a circle for who goes in, two at a time.

After many good wishes, the cast all head back to the apartments and hope tomorrow goes smoother than today.

*The Next Day*
The cast all wake up feeling like zombies. Tim had unfortunately not told them if filming timings were changing; the only thing they knew was that scenes would obviously have to be switched around since Joshua and Matt couldn't film. Joshua would just be in the studio for most of the day, recording songs for the soundtrack.

He couldn't exactly do much; the doctor said it wasn't a good idea to pack his scar and scratches with makeup, and his arm hurt too much to play guitar, so working on their song was out as well. He felt a little useless not being able to film or do anything else, but he didn't have many options.

Matt was still in the hospital for observations, considering he was unconscious for so long. He wouldn't have been able to film if he was here anyway; his scar was much deeper than Joshua's, and he had many more scratches. All they could do at the moment was focus on scenes that didn't have Ricky or EJ, which was going to be difficult.

Olivia (Nini) walks into the room with the costumes and makeup area, looking to see if anyone's in there first. She quickly moves to stand in front of the mirrors and begins to take Gina's shoes out of her bag when she hears a voice down the hall.
