Chris

I was looking at Ricky through the small window when I felt something hit my shoulder. I looked over and it was a someone not something. It was Ghost, I looked a little panicked.

"It's okay he just passed out that's all." Vinny says and I sighed, putting my arm around Ghost so he didn't fall off his seat. The doctor said we could come in now, and we all hesitated as to who would go first. We all kinda silently agreed to let Ghost go first since Ricky was his almost boyfriend, but now that he's not conscious at the moment......

Vinny stood and walked into the room and sat in the chair by Ricky. Five minutes later he walked out and quietly took his seat, wiping a subtle tear. Balz went next and he took so long that the doctor had to escort him out. While Josh was in the room, two things happened. One the nurse said visiting hours would be over in the next ten minutes and two Ghost finally came to.

"Hey, how you feeling Devin?" I asked and he lifted his head sitting upright again.

"I-I'm alright." He took a shaky breath and I hugged him before removing my arm from him. Josh left me with five minutes with Ricky. I walked in and sat by his bed.

"Hey Ricky, I don't know if you can hear me, but I am so sorry this happened to you. If I had known things would be different. We're all extremely worried and whatever fight you got in that fragile body of yours now's the time to act upon it. You've got a boy out there who loves you endlessly. You gotta fight for him Ricky. Ghost loves you. I know you love him back." I squeezed his small hand. "Please come back to us. Please." I got choked up and walked out of the room. I was in good company for the sob fest, aside from the nurse, there wasn't a dry eye among us. Even Josh was tearing up. Ghost was the worst and I started crying seeing him falling apart. Vinny was embracing him tightly and the nurse offers several boxes of tissues and Vinny grabbed one for Ghost. He takes a tissues and started wiping his tears. I used my sleeve and sat next to Ghost.

"I really hate to say this but visiting hours ended about five minutes ago. One of you can stay while the others stay in I'm assuming you brought the tour bus since this one said y'all were in a band and touring right now." Josh nods and Vinny pulls himself from a sobbing Ghost and I left quickly not wanting to see Devin like this anymore. Balz left as well and the nurse helped Ghost into the room as he was a hot mess right now. Back on the bus I laid in my bunk and sighed.

"Guys?....."

"Yeah Chris?"

"..........I'm scared."

"We all are."

"Not what I meant. I'm scared for Devin."

"I know. We are as well."

"We've all seen Ricky skip meals so why did none of us intervene sooner?"

We left that question hanging in the air as an uncomfortable silence settled in the bus.

A/N: LOOK AT THAT! ITS AN UPDATE! YAY! I still have school tomorrow. Fuck.
