Music: Lover Boy (by You Me At Six)
*Josh's POV*
I tried to keep it cool after that phone call, for Ricky's sake, but of course he heard everything. His eyes were large like the moon, as if he were about to cry but he never shed a tear, his eyes only glazed over slightly. "Josh?" if you listened close enough you could hear the slightest tremor in his voice. I sucked in a staggered breath and snatched my leather jacket from where it was slung over the couch messily.
"Ricky, i have to go, watch Riley." I kept my voice strong, because every one knows that Ricky needed somebody to be strong for him. One person can only take so much in their life before they crumble like sand into the atmosphere around them. And if i wasn't careful, Ricky would break. He whimpered, about to say something but i cut him off. "Watch Riley." I said sternly, and moved out the door.
"I'm coming with you." Ricky bit his lip and stopped me before i could leave completely.
"Ricky, just listen to me." I bit off the ends of my words so he's get it through his head. "Ryan wouldn't want you to come. Stay here." I know that sounded harsh but there's no way i was going to get him to stay here because he's so headstrong when it comes to Ryan. I slammed the door closed behind me and tried my hardest not to think about Ricky's depressed face as i ran to my car.
As i finally arrived at the music store in which Ryan had started working, i saw an ambulance parked in the front with it's sirens blaring and the lights were swirling with blue and red. It was quite overwhelming at first as i shoved my way through some people to get to where Ryan lay in the back of the ambulance. I prepared myself for the worst because i didn't know what type of condition he would be in. All the workers told me was that he passed out while shelving some records in the back. "Ryan..." I was worried when i saw the oxygen mask strapped over his nose and mouth but was relieved when he sat up and looked at me.
"Balz? Why are you wearing-"
"Don't say a word." I chuckled, remembering that i still wore the tiara and boa. I was so relieved that he was in at least 'okay condition'. Ryan smiled back but his eyes were dull and dead-looking with sinking dark bags smudged under his eyes. Not to mention a blistering red gash ran from his upper left forehead to just about his eyebrow with dry blood staining around the wound. "What happened to you? You look like shit." I looked over his face, finding that those were his only wounds that were at least visible.
"And you look like a princess." He giggled and grabbed for my boa but totally missed. "I want to be a pretty princess too." He wore a smile the whole time he slurred his words. What the fuck is up with him.
"He's on a lot of pain meds..." One of the ambulance workers informed me and continued to explain. "From what the reports say, he was in the back of the store stocking shelves when he must have passed out and was hit in the head with one of the boxes of merchandise." I nodded, taking it all in. "After all the paper work is filled out, we're going to take him back to the hospital for further examination." And with that, Ryan's eyes went wild.
"No" He whined. "Balz, don't let them take me thereeee." He practically threw himself on me and hugged me really tight. "I want to see Rickyyy, let me go home!" It was so weird seeing him like this.
"Is there any way he can just go home?" I asked the same ambulance worker who sighed.
"Well, we can't force him to go to the hospital, so i guess." He didn't look too happy that Ryan was going home because of his obvious injury, but he had to let us go. "But if anything remotely like this happens again i firmly suggest that you take him immediately to the hospital." I nodded and helped Ryan to his feet who was grinning like a fox because he got his way.
*Ricky's POV*
I was a mix of emotions at what Balz said before he left but all those feelings flooded out of me when Josh finally returned with Ryan at his side maybe an hour or so later. And something was definitely wrong with him because he had Josh's neon boa around his neck and he was whipping Josh in the face with it saying "feed me, peasant." And Josh only rolled his eyes.
"Rickyyy!" Ryan's face lit up like a light bulb when he set his eyes upon me, running up to me with his arms wide open. He engulfed me when i smiled at him and hugged him back. I spit out a pink feather that was shoved in my mouth when he had hugged me. "And hello, little baby inside of my snowflake." He poked my stomach lightly and smiled.
"What's gotten him so happy?" I half glared at Josh, still kinda pissed off at what he said.
"Pain meds."
"I'm tired now." Ryan pouted.
"Yeah, let's get you to bed." It was odd taking care of Ryan for once. He usually only takes care of me, even when he's sick and i am more than happy to care for him, but he always refuses. Oh how the tables have turned.
"Will you sleep with me?" He looked up at me when i tucked him into his side of the bed.
"You better be careful who you say that to." I grinned devilishly and he snorted and chortled.
