"I gotta say, I was worried about hosting the 4th of July party at our house this year. It's actually going really well though, and there isn't as much of a mess as I thought there would be." I say looking around the house.

"Yeah me too." Matt says and Chris nods. "I'm gonna go get a drink, anyone else?" Matt asks.

"Yeah, I want something too." Chris replies. They both look at me.

"Nah, I'm good." I say. They walk outside to where the coolers are to find drinks.

I then see a large crowd of people circling around something. I go outside to see what it is. I try to look, but people are in my way and it's dark. What is going on? I then hear a slight whistling noise. What was that? Next thing I know there is a large boom so loud that it shakes my body. My eyes widen in fear. It was a firework. I quickly raise my hands to my ears. I have very sensitive ears which makes loud noises sound deafening. I get bad headaches and migraines easily from loud noises.

"Stop! Don't do fireworks!" I try to yell over the crowd of cheering people. No one hears me. The booms from the fireworks feel like they are going through my head. I am in so much pain already. I need to tell them to stop, but I also need to get away from the loud noises. I quickly run inside trying to get away from the noise. I get a few odd looks from people, but I couldn't be bothered enough to care. I make it to my room and curl up on the floor in pain. I cover my ears with my hands internally pleading for the fireworks to stop.

Matt Pov:

I grab a cold root beer out of the cooler and watch Chris grab a Pepsi. We both take a sip and sigh happily. Soda is the best. I then see a bunch of people crowding around an area. "What's going on over there?" I ask Chris.

"I'm not sure. Let's go see." Before we can walk over, we see something launch into the sky. It then explodes, displaying a beautiful firework.

"Woahh fireworks!" I yell excited. We stand watching them in awe for a few minutes. The bright colors light up the sky.

"It's been so long since we've got to watch fireworks a because of Nick. Oh shit, Nick! Where's he at?!" Chris yells. We were both so caught up in watching the fireworks, we completely forgot to check up on Nick. We scan the outside and don't see him.

"Oh shit, how did we forget? He's probably in his room, let's go." I say rushing into the house with Chris following behind. We open nicks door and find him on the floor. His head is in his knees with his hands pressed against his ears. He doesn't even know we're in here yet. I walk over to him and lightly put my hand on his shoulder. He flinches, not expecting it.

"You alright Nick?" I ask worried.

"Get them to stop. Please. My head is killing me." He winces at the pain.

"Chris go tell them to stop the fireworks, I'll help Nick." I say and Chris rushes out of the room.

"Nick, do you want me to get you some pain meds?" I ask, seeing him in a lot of pain.

"Matt you need to speak louder. I'm not gonna remove my hands from my ears, so you need to be louder." Nick yells above the noise of the fireworks.

I repeat my question louder and get an eager head nod in response. I quickly make my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water then get the pain meds. A few people try to stop to talk to me, but I have more important things to do right now. I make my way back up to Nicks room and hand him the water and pill. He reaches out to grab them but quickly retracts his hands back to his ears when a loud firework goes off. His squeezes his eyes shut in pain.

"Am I really gonna have to feed this to you?" I ask laughing. Nick sighs realizing that's what has to happen. I put the pill in his mouth and raise the glass of water to his lips. He takes a sip and I accidentally spill a few drops on his shirt. He gives me a death glare which makes me laugh.

"You're actually the worst, Matt." Nick says wiping off his shirt while laughing a little.

"Oh really? I could tell them to keep the fireworks going all night long if you want?" I say being cocky.

Nick just rolls his eyes at me. Suddenly the loud booms stop. Nick looks up at me, hopeful. "Are they done?" He asks, hesitant to remove his hands from his ears.

"I think so." I respond, hoping they are.

"The fireworks are done Nick." Chris says as he walks into the room.

"Alright. Thank you. Ugh my head hurts so bad." He says holding his head in pain.

"Well, the pill should start to work soon. Just stay up here until you feel better, and come back down when you're ready." I say rubbing Nicks shoulder.

"Sorry, we didn't know someone was gonna set off fireworks." Chris apologizes.

"No it's fine. Thanks for getting them to stop though." Nick says grateful.

"Of course. Do you need anything else before we go back down?" Chris asks.

"No I'm alright, thank you. I'm just gonna wait out this headache, I'll be down in a little." He responds putting his head down into his arms.

"Alright, text us if you need anything." I say while me and Chris walk out of his room. We make our way back downstairs to host the party, and make sure nothing else goes wrong.

Half an hour later we see Nick walk down the stairs. "You feeling better?" Chris asks.

"Yeah. My head still hurts, but it's manageable." He says while grabbing a drink.

"Good." I say, glad he's feeling better. "Let's go enjoy the rest of the party." I state, while we all walk outside to join our friends.
