↳ augustjgomez it's a very long story

JOSHUA HAD grown to be very sick back in 2021... nearly dying in the hospital room.

And though he didn't want August to see him in this state, she would come whenever she could, which was often.

She would sit there for hours on end until the nurse would knock on each door instructing that the visitation hour had been up.

Sometimes she would sit and talk with him and other times she would just sit there as he slept.

It varied on how he felt prior to her visit. Sometimes he would try and fake it, but she would catch on easily.

One day, she had visited, just like she always had. She sat on the windowsill of the hospital room as Joshua slept in the bed close by.

The view from a hospital room was deafening. It really changes how you view the world once you're looking at it from this angle.

Every now and then Angelina, Olivia, Jacob, or someone close to her would send her a message asking if she was okay or if Josh needed anything.

But she decided to but her phone on do not disturb and continued to look out the window. She would look over a Josh every now and then, but mainly out of the window to distract herself, but that was hard to do considering that her main focus was on the health of her boyfriend.

The sound of the heart monitor kept her in line in where she was, so dissociating herself wouldn't work. She glanced over and saw Josh's guitar sitting in the corner, and for the first time in forever, she stood to her feet and grabbed.

She sat down in a nearby chair, crossing her legs and began strumming a random tune.

She didn't get very far as the nurse stopped by his door, knocking on it and letting her know that visitation hours were up.

She sat the guitar down by the chair before stopping by Joshua's bed as he slept.

She brushed some of his hair back before squeezing his hand and promising that she'd be back tomorrow.

Same routine, every day until he was able to check out.

She drove home and was there alone.

Angelina had been acting more and Alana had been visiting home for a week.

So, it was August, alone, for the first time in a couple of hours.

She kicked her shoes off and headed upstairs into her bedroom. She slammed her bedroom door shut and laid down on the bed with a heavy sigh.

It was like this for weeks, but she would shift her routine when she leaned over to grab her guitar.

Strumming the same tune she had before a mumbling some incoherent words under her breath.

"Darlin', I'd wait for you. Even if you didn't ask, me to." She mumbled, "Tie a lasso around the moon. And bring it down to you."

She sighed, strumming the guitar and losing the words as she thought deeply about Joshua's life or death situation.

Her strumming had been interrupted once she heard her phone ringing from her side. She picked it up and smiled.

"Hi."

Joshua put on a small smile, "Hey. I'm so sorry that I slept during your visit."

"It's fine." She said, sitting upright, "I'm sure you needed it."

"Are you heading to bed? Did I wake you?"

She chuckled, "No. I was actually just playing something."

"Can I hear?"

She propped her phone against her headboard and grabbed her guitar, "It's not done, literally started it today."

She began strumming her guitar once more before pausing. Not many words to give him at the moment. She would glance up every now and then to see him giving her a small smile as she continued to play.

"That's all I got."

"Sounds good." He smiled, "I love it."

The two of them talked for awhile before he took notice that August had fallen asleep.

He propped his phone against the hospital bed railing and shut his eyes.

The same routine to be repeated tomorrow until he got better.
