MY BIGGEST IDOL

Chapter 21

I sit down with Oscar, and Omar too for that matter.

"I haven't even asked you yet, but how are you?" I ask Oscar.

"I'm fine, you know. But the rest isn't." I feel his pain even though I don't know his crew. I imagine myself in that situation which feels horrible.

"I'm so sorry.. How did the night go?"

"It went okay, I slept a lot but when I woke up I realized what actually happened last night."

"How about you? Are you feeling well?" He asks me and I slowly nod.

I remember Omar's words from earlier. I need to stay strong for the both of us. I can't stay low right now, I have to be the positive side in his life. He already has a lot to deal with, he shouldn't have to deal with me too.

"Good." He says, smiling at me. I can't tell if it's real or fake, but it doesn't matter right now.

"Do you have to stay here for any longer?" Omar suddenly ask.

"I don't have anywhere else to go."

Before I get the chance to hesitate, I say what comes to my mind.

"You can live with us, if you want to."

"Really?"

"Of course, man." Omar responds.

"Oscar?" Someone asks, which makes us all react.

"I have some news." The same doctor as before says.

"How is everyone doing?" Oscar has a very worried expression on his face.

"It's hard for me to say this, but your manager is in a coma. We don't know how it will end, but we're really doing everything we can. The others are doing okay but have to rest."

I get shocked by the news, but there is still hope. At least everyone is still alive, even though one is in a coma. I notice how Oscar suddenly become speechless, which I fully understand.

Before I can stop myself, I take his hand in mine. Just to try to calm him down but also remind him that I'm actually here. That I won't leave him. He looks at me, and he's now back to reality again. But he doesn't let go of my hand. My idea probably worked.
