Ryan and Brendon stayed in Tyler's room for the rest of that night, making sure Tyler was, for the most part, okay. Early in the morning, Brendon decided to go up to the hospital, and Ryan stayed back at the motel in case Tyler needed anything when he woke up.

When Tyler did wake up and Ryan forced him to eat something, Ryan asked him if he wanted to go up to the hospital, but Tyler said no. He couldn't see Josh like that. It hurt him to see Josh like that. Ryan understood that.

The rest of the group got there sometime around noon. They all got rooms, but right now they're all crowded into one room, trying to make sure Tyler is alright, but in all honesty all the attention is making Tyler worse. He doesn't tell them this, though, he doesn't want to make all of them leave, because he likes the company, but he's afraid that it'll come off as rude or bitchy if he just makes a select few of them leave.

So he just decides to live with it.

***
A few days passed with no news on Josh or his condition. They were allowed to visit him, but none of the doctors would tell them anything because they weren't family, they were just friends. If Tyler were to go up to the hospital they would tell him something, but he still refuses.

Only three of them are with Tyler now; Melanie, Ray, and Ryan. They realized that Tyler doesn't like much attention, so only a few of them stay with him now. Three are up at the hospital too; Brendon, Sarah, and Dallon. The rest of them are off who knows where doing who knows what.

Josh's parents still haven't come up to see what's going on. No one knows why. In fact, none of his family has. Maybe they don't want to make the two hour trip to see him if he's unconscious. Maybe they just don't care. But either way, now none of them can get any information on Josh.

Or at least, thats what they thought at the time.

In the middle of trying to force Tyler to eat again, Ryan got a phone call from Brendon. He stepped out in the hall to answer it, leaving Melanie and Ray to deal with a very stubborn Tyler.

"Ty," Melanie sighs. "Ty, you gotta eat."

"I'm not hungry," Tyler says, raising his voice a little and getting tired of then babying him.

"You barely ate anything for breakfast, and you've had nothing since then. You need to eat, even if it's just a little."

"I can take care of myself!" He shouts, finally fed up with his friends. Melanie was about to yell something back at him, but luckily Ryan came into the room before she made that mistake, and he asked her to come in the hall with him for a second.

"So, we have news on Josh," Ryan starts once they're far enough away from Tyler's room that he won't hear anything. "He's awake... Bu-"

"That's amazing!" Melanie says, cutting him off. "We need to tell Tyler!"

"No, Melanie, let me finish..He's awake, but he doesn't remember anything."

"Oh... Like, anything, anything?"

"That's what Brendon said, so I'm not exactly sure how accurate it is."

"Should we tell Tyler?"

"I don't know. I was thinking some of us could go up there and see how bad it really is, see if it's something that might be permanent, and then tell Tyler."

Melanie nods. "Who should go there and who should stay here?"

"I don't know that either. Maybe we send one from each couple?"

"Yeah that'll work. But what about Ray and Mikey?"

"Just send Mikey. We'll have Gerard stay here though, we only need one Way brother at a time. And since Tyler seems kind of annoyed with you, I think you should go to the hospital."

She nods again, and they tell everyone else what the plan is. Everyone agrees, and half of them go to the hospital, half of them stay at the motel. Most of them aren't in the same room as Tyler, though, because as we established earlier, he doesn't like that much attention.

At the hospital is Dallon, Brendon, Sarah, Melanie, Mikey, Frank, and Jon. All of them are hoping that they can Josh to remember something, but none of them are entirely sure that they're going to succeed. And that thought scares them. A lot.

Day five of band camp
I can no longer feel the pain in my back that comes from carrying a bass drum
My shoulders are really red tho cause the harness is broken
The padding fell off of one side so its just metal constantly rubbing against my shoulder blade
I think the drum itself is broken too, but only on the part that holds the harness, cause it always moves around a fuck ton when I put it on

I barely have any time to do anything now, cause I wake up at 6:30, update this, eat breakfast, sit around for a few minutes, go to hell for seven hours, get home, shower (because there's no way I'm going to sleep in a days worth of sweat and filth) eat dinner, and go to sleep
Ugh
I seriously go to sleep at like 7 every night, and I'm somehow still exhausted when I wake up
My eyes are always a shade of red from the exhaustion and I can't wait til tomorrow so I can sleep all day

Every time I see this notification I think, "No, gross, burn it," cause my old writing was so fucking bad

Why are you guys giving this so many reads
Like 30k, what is this
