A Struggle With Love

come and visit

Russell was so nervous, he missed Jon and he'd only been away from him for an hour. He took all the medicine and did all the tests, he just wanted to get out of there and see Jon, was that too much to ask?

Jon was so nervous, he missed Russell and he'd only been away from here for an hour. He was hoping he'd took all the medicine and did all the tests, he just wanted him to get out so he could see Russell, was that too much to ask?

Later that week Jon got an email, which read:

"Hello, Jon.

We are delighted to inform you that Russell Howard is ready for visits! He's been talking about you a lot! Russell has only two more tests to go (this will take until next Thursay) and he can be let out, if you could notify or inform us who is going to be collecting him or when you are going to visit him, we'd be most grateful.

Thank you, Beaucamps Urgent Psychiatric Centre Guernsey."

Jon was a little confused by the light and fluffy tone of the email but nevertheless he could now see Russell, which was enough to make his day. He felt it only right to call Adam, seeing as though he's Russell's best friend.

"Hello?"

"Hey mate." Adams voice was low and depressing.

"Do you wanna go and see Russell with me?"

"But aren't you in the Channel Islands?" He asked, his voice seemed to be a lot happier than before.

"Yeah I am, buy a ticket today, there's a flight for tomorrow, I'll send you the link."

"Tomorrow?"

"Last minute bookings are always cheapest." Jon laughed to himself.

"Ok, I'll do it now, see ya Jon."

"Bye."

Jon typed back the fastest he ever had.

Hello,

Thank you for informing me that Russell is available to receive visits now. Myself (Jon Richardson) and Adam Hills shall both be coming to visit tomorrow and shall also be there to pick him up next Thursday. Thank you for taking such good care of Russell in this difficult time.

Jon.

He face timed Russell's family to keep them up to date and told them that he would still be going to Paris this weekend if that was okay with them, they said it was but as long as they kept in contact daily.

The next day Jon met Adam at the airport at 6:15 am.

Adam asked if Jon missed filming the show and Jon asked how the last leg was going.

His only reply was "Adam and Josh kissed again."

"That was funny when they did it last time." Replied Jon who was more concentrated on driving to really take any notice of Adam's sarcastic attitude towards it.

"Yeah sure."

"Which one do you like then mate?"

"What?" Adam had gone red.

"Well," They stopped at the lights and Jon turned to him "Your face wouldn't be like a fucking tomato if you didn't like one of them."

"Josh."

"Looks like I guessed correctly then."

"Wow mate." Adam laughed. "You looking forward to seeing Russ?"

"Of course I am, I love him and I haven't seen him for ages."

"I miss him too, I hate that he hasn't gone to Paris."

"He will."

"Oh?"

"And I'm gonna make sure of it."

The light changed and Jon put his foot down. Adam's face went white.

"Why so fast?"

"I've been up all night and I haven't eaten." Jon laughed as he shot down the lane.

Jon's phone started to ring when they got to the little café.

He answered and it was the centre. They explained how Russell wanted to speak with Jon and that he was so close to finishing that he was allowed to have a 10 minute (maximum) phone call.

They put him on.

"Jon?"

"Yes Russell?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, are you ok though?"

"Yes but the only thing that's keeping me going in here is that I'll see you later, and Adam too I believe."

"Yeah well, It's only fair that he sees his best mate, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing you both. Is he there?"

"Toilet."

"Oh."

Both of them laughed.

"Russ, are you still up for Paris?"

"Yeah, I am, It'd cheer me up a lot if I'm there with you."

"Oh yeah that reminds me."

"Yeah?"

"Adam has some news."

"I have what?" Adam asked as he sat down. "Who is it?"

"Russell. Wanna talk to him?"

"Yeah mate obviously."

"Hey Adam!" Russell beamed when Adam was handed the phone.

"Heyo Russe-"

"Mr Howard, your time is up."

"Who is that?" Adam asked him.

"That is my doctor unfortunately, see you later."

He hung up.
