Desperate Measures

How Did It End?

Matt's POV (A/N: By the way just to make everyone aware none of this is real besides the show. It's all fictional so no one gets confused <3)

When Josh collapsed into my arms I just stopped playing the chord I was playing and caught him. "Oh my god! Guys help me pick him up please!" I said as security just started escorting everyone out of the building as the crew, Mike, and Ian ran over to my side as they rested his head onto my lap as he was still breathing but yeah he shouldn't have done this show in the first place. That's when I looked over at the crowd as the red hair girl he was talking about earlier came running up onto the stage since there was no barrier. "What the hell happened?! And I work at the hospital that he met me at so someone go call an ambulance and someone tell me what happened." She said kneeling down next to Josh checking his body over as Melvin was already calling the ambulance on his phone. "The doctor who checked him out earlier today said its a bad case of vertigo and gave him medicine for it." She looked at me with fear in her eyes. "How much did he take before going on stage?! He could've overdosed on the medicine if he took too much Matt right?" I nodded as I have no idea if he took more before going on stage.

"Enaia I have no idea if he took more before heading on stage. He was in his own room." She sighed as she shook her head while putting her fingers on his wrist to probably to try and feel his pulse. "Can you grab the pill bottle please Matt? I need to know what he took." I nodded standing up running backstage as the worse things were crossing my mind of what could happen to Josh. What if he doesn't recover from this or if he's worse than before. I ran to his room backstage grabbing the pill bottle and running back to the stage as the paramedics were there looking at his throat.

"His throat is closing up. Hand me a breathing tube!" I heard one of the paramedics say as that just made me panic as Enaia ran over to me. "Are these the pills he was taking?" I nodded handing the bottle to her. "Shit he might've taken too much...Matt his airway is closing off due to the overdose. Once they tube him and get him breathing they'll take him into the same hospital as before. Now come on." Shit why did he take so much?! Or he wasn't thinking. I nodded following her out to the ambulance as they started wheeling him out of the building. I could see the tube in his throat as I just broke down into tears as I've never seen him like this since 2006. "Hey hey he's gonna be okay once they work on him at the hospital Matt." She said as I sat down next to her holding his hand while they started poking his arms with needles and hooking up fluids.

"Enaia he has more wrong with him than vertigo. He has a tumour condition and he's in remission. Now I don't know if they tested him or not." She just looked at me with a shocked look. "He probably didn't say shit about it to you as he hardly tells anyone about it." Oh god he's gonna hate me for telling her as I think he likes her. "Let's just let the doctors take care of him okay? It's probably just a bad case of vertigo Matt." She said as we all felt the ambulance come to a stop as I went inside with her and Josh. I just really hope that it's not what I think it is.

Josh's POV

I was slowly opening my eyes as all I could feel was pain. It looked like I was back in a hospital? I could kinda hear someone talking to Matt as I tried looking around a little bit. "Matt he has vertigo ontop of high stress and other factors in his life. You may want to call his parents for this." Shit please don't fucking tell me it's back?! I've tried everything to keep my shitty disease at bay for the past six years. "I've already called them sir and what is the other factor? I mean have you talked to his past surgeon?" I heard Matt say as I just facepalmed. Why did he call my parents up?! They shouldn't be worrying about this, or about me for that matter. "Yes I have and he's on his way Matt so please speak to him then." Great now Derek is on his way here as well...this can't be good if they called him. I tried sitting up a little bit in the bed as they both came over sitting me back down.
