"J-J-Josh?" I said to a male figure lying in a hospital bed.
There was no response.
I swear I felt his hand twitch.
I looked out of the window as the sun began to rise thinking about how worried I was. I wished Josh would wake up already.
I remember Josh saying that he believed in God. I never gave God a thought, but I thought I would pray.
"God, please say Josh will be okay. I can't lose him. He makes me happy when I'm sad, he makes me feel better when I'm ill. Just let him live.. Please? Amen."
I felt stupid praying as I'd never done it before.
Then I heard coughing and groaning coming from behind me, I turned round as fast as and raced to the bed to see if it was Josh.
It was.
"Hey, sleepy!" I said to Josh as he was waking up.
He stared at me as he tried to focus his eyes on my face, he had been unconscious for 5 hours.
"Jack? Where am I?" Josh groaned.
"You're in hospital, everything's alright now."
"Wh-what? Why? Why am I here? What day is it?"
"You're in hospital and its Monday morning. We're meant to fly back to London today but I doubt that'll be happening. Oh, and you were shot."
"I was what? Am I dreaming?"
"You were shot. No you're not dreaming either, I'm so happy you're alive!"
"H-How? How did I get shot? Who by?"
I felt a lump in the back of my throat, I didn't want to say anything incase I cried but I knew I had to tell him.
"W-well, me, you and Hayley were walking back to the hotel and when we got to the main round, a car turned round a corner and drove onto the curb by where you was standing and shot you. I don't know who it was. You collapsed to the ground and I dived down to save you. You weren't breathing, I phoned Matt and some woman stopped and called an ambulance. I thought you were dead."
A tear started rolling down my cheek after getting flashbacks of what happened. Hayley wiped it off of my face before it fell off. She leaned forward and hugged me.
"OUCH!!" Josh moaned from behind us.
"Why did you move? You knew it would of hurt?" I asked.
"Food is worth the pain. Pass me that Mars Bar and feed me it?"
"Okay, wait there."
"Oh and how long have you been here anyway?"
"Urm, about 5 or 6 hours. I have no idea actually."
"So you've been here all this time?"
"Yup!"
Josh smiled as his eyes watered. I guess me being here meant something. Just as he was about to say something, Max walked in.
"JOSH! OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU'RE AWAKE!" Max said, running towards the bed.
"Oh no, Max, I'm asleep." Josh said, laughing.
Dan, Ilona, Chris and Matt followed Max into the room, they were smiling.
"Glad to see you awake this time, Mr Franceschi." Matt said to Josh.
"Aw, yeah! You were here last night too, right? Thanks, Matt!"
"It was scary seeing you like that last night! I freaked out!"
"Sorry man! Kinda got shot. Y'know, shit happens!"
They laughed, it was good to see Josh lively again.
"Here, Josh, me and Ilona got you these.." Dan said, handing Josh a box of Malteasers.
"You guys, you shouldn't have! Thanks though.."
"No problem Josh, we know how much you love Malteasers!" Ilona said to him.
"Hope you're okay!" Chris said to Josh.
"I'm fine man. Don't worry about me!"
"Josh, we'd love to stay with you but we've really got to get back to London. I phoned the airport and told them what happened and they understand so alls you have to do is ring up when you're all ready and they will put you on the next flight back, okay?" Matt said to Josh.
"Yeah, sure! Don't worry about me guys, I'll be fine! Go home! We'll be home before you know it!"
"We'll be staying with you Josh, don't worry!" I said to him.
"Why did I have a feeling you two would never leave me?"
"Because you know you love us too much to let us go with them, and anyway, you need atleast SOMEONE to stay with you."
Everyone smiled and said their goodbyes.
Josh, Hayley and I sat in the hospital talking to eachother until Josh got a phonecall.
"Who is it?" Hayley asked.
"It's anonymous." He answered.
"Hello?"
"Bang! Bang! I shot you down. Bang! Bang! I hit you down! Bang Bang! Oh shit sorry, did you have a nice shooting?" The voice said to Josh.
Josh hung up and sat there in shock.
"Who was that?"
"No idea. I don't know that voice." Josh replied.
Someone had Josh's number. Someone we didn't know who. Someone who shot Josh, too.
"We'll find out who it is Josh, don't worry." I said, putting my hand on the bed.
"How though? It's anonymous." Josh said.
Josh went quiet. The person who rang him had shot him and he knew it.
Then his phone rang again.
" Hello? Whoever this is, just tell me?" Josh said with a scared look on his face.
"That would be confirming who this is. If I wanted you to know, this phonecall wouldn't be anonymous." The voice said as they laughed evilly and hung up.
