//Chapter Twenty Four: Turn Back Time//

Rylie's POV:

As time passed, I saw Josh gradually recover. He has been stuck in here for three weeks, and I refuse to leave his side. His physical therapy is going really great, and he can leave in a few days. Although it might be a little selfish for me to say, I've loved our time together in the hospital. We watch movies each night, have long conversations, and get lost in each other, just like old times.

Right now, it's three o'clock in the morning, and Josh is asleep. This has happened a lot recently: he falls asleep around ten, and I just don't sleep. Sure, it's unhealthy, but when the darkness creeps in, I can feel my demons watching me, ready to pounce as soon as I close my eyes. I don't think Josh has really noticed much, but Jenna has. I just told her that hospitals make me uncomfortable. I sighed, and rolled over to face Josh. In the pitch black, I can barley make out his features. I can feel his warm breath on my forehead, and can hear light snores. I stay in his arms, mesmerized by the rhythm of his breathing, for a long time. I check the time one my phone, the light illuminating the room, to see that it reads seven thirty. Josh normally wakes up around nine to take his meds, so I decide to try to sleep for an hour or two. The world slowly fades out, and I fall asleep.

Josh's POV:

The orange sunlight coming from my window wakes me up at around seven thirty. I can tell that Rylie is awake, so I stay still. I give her a few minutes before her breathing evens out. And she falls asleep. I know she hasn't been sleeping, but who could blame her? Hell, I have nightmares sometimes, but she has them almost nightly. I snake my arms around her, and pull her closer to me. She stirs, but then melts to my touch. I absentmindedly rub circles on her back, and grab my phone.

I sigh, and head to the world of Twitter first. Our fan base has grown immensely, and a lot of the fans have been worried about me. I respond to a few of them before opening my camera app. I make the camera face front, and snap a picture of Rylie and I. She's snuggled close to me, and looks adorable, while I am kissing her forehead. I post it to Twitter and Instagram before opening my messages app. I read the texts from Tyler first:

From TYJO: So i just met Billie Joe Armstrong at the store.... Turns out he's a big fan, and invited us to a party he's having tonight?

From TYJO: He understood why you couldn't go, and asked for your number... So I gave it to him.... I'll let you know how the party goes.

From TYJO: BROOOOOO VODKA IS THE SHIZZZZ..... LOVE YOU JOSHY POO 🐢

From Joshyy Dun: Love you too bud, hope you are enjoying one hell of a hangover 🐼

I laughed at his messages, but felt a pang of jealousy that he had met Billie. I went to the other messages.

From Unknown: Hey is this Josh Dun? I just ran into Tyler and he told me about your situation... I'm horribly sorry to hear about what happened. This is Billie Joe Armstrong by the way.

From Unknown: So we gave Tyler vodka.... Bad idea on my part... He's crashing at my place in case anybody is wondering. He's way too fucked to drive.

From Josh Dun: Thank you for your wishes, and for keeping my buddy safe! As soon as I get out of the hospital, maybe our bands could meet up to work on a collaboration?

I turned my phone off as my nurse walked into the room. She handed me two pills, and checked to make sure I was okay.

"Well everything looks great Mr. Dun! You should be able to leave by tomorrow" she chirped. I nodded a small thanks, but before she left, she spoke again.

"You two are so cute together" she said before leaving. I felt my cheeks burn red, and a smile spread across my face. Rylie stirred and her eyes slowly opened.

"Good morning Joshy" she said. I chuckled.

"Good morning Miss Nocturnal" I replied. Her eyebrows knitted together, and she tried to speak, but I cut her off.

"Ry, I know you're having a hard time sleeping. Just sleep, and I'll wake you up in a few hours" I said .

"But Josh" she whined.

"For me?" I said pouting. She let out an exasperated sigh before agreeing. She cuddled close to my chest, and after a few minutes, she still wasn't asleep.

"Josh I can't sleep" she stated.

"Hmmm... How about I sing for you?" I asked.

"Please?" She replied.

"Pick a song darling" I said.

" Trees?" She asked. I nodded, and she closed her eyes. I began to sing trees, and slowly she began to fall asleep. I finished the song, and she was asleep. I kissed her head before falling asleep too.
