Chipotle
Josh pauses the small TV in the corner of his room and smiles as Tyler walks in with a bag reading 'Chipotle'.
"Hi, Tyler. My mom was just here a minute ago, but she had to leave." Josh says, rubbing his eyes.
"Hey, Josh. Yeah, I walked past her in the hallway. Anyway, I brought you lunch! I thought you might like something other than hospital cafeteria food." Tyler says, handing the warm bag to Josh.
"Oh, thanks! You were just in time. I'm really hungry." Josh says as he tears open the bag. "Wow, a burrito? Thanks!!" he exclaims, unwrapping the burrito and taking an enormous bite out of it.
"How could I not get my bedridden best friend a burrito? That would just be cruel." Tyler laughed, unwrapping his burrito. "Anyway, what are you watching?" Tyler says, burrito flying out of his mouth as he talks.
"Spongebob," Josh says, unpausing the TV and taking another bite out of the burrito.
"Nice," Tyler replies. "So do you like it here in the hospital?"
"Well, I don't necessarily enjoy it, but yeah, it's fine. It's kinda boring when nobody's here though." Josh says, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"I'm sorry that you have to stay here. I'll try to visit as much as possible. Did you ask the doctor when you can at least go home?" Tyler asks, watching the TV.
"Yeah. I can go home in a few days, but I have to be in a wheelchair." Josh sighs.
"Oh, nice! Sorry about the wheelchair though." Tyler says.
"No, it's fine, I'll get used to it soon. I'm still really bummed out that I can't go on tour or even play my drums for nine months. I'll be so bored." Josh says, resting his head in his hands.
Tyler was just about to reply when the doctor walked in. "Hello Josh. We've just received some breakthrough news and I need to check all your injuries again," the doctor says, flipping through the papers on his clipboard.
"Is it bad news?" Josh asks, glancing nervously at Tyler.
"No, it's not bad, but it's not necessarily good news either. Just some...curious results," the doctor says, scribbling on the clipboard with his blue-ink pen.
"What do you mean??" Tyler asks, slipping his hands in and out of his pockets in nervousness.
"Well...I don't know how to put this, but...this wasn't an accident," the doctor says, frantically writing as he observes a spot on Josh's thigh.
"You mean...somebody made Josh fall?" Tyler questions, eyes wide.
"Um, yes. Or at least that's what we think happened. See this spot right here?" the doctor says, pointing at the spot on Josh's leg that he was looking at earlier. Tyler leans in to look. "This is the mark of a tranquilizer dart." the doctor says, once again writing on his clipboard.
"Oh my gosh...so somebody tried to put me to sleep??" Josh says, looking at the spot on his leg in shock.
"Well, it looks more as if they were just trying to hit you, rather than actually tranquilize you. It hit you in the side of the thigh, which would be a less-than-ideal spot to hit someone with intention of putting them to sleep." the doctor says with a tone of confusion in his voice.
"I can't believe this!! Whoever did this could've killed you, Josh! I promise that I will find who ever did this and make sure they get the payback they deserve!!" Tyler says angrily and storms out of the room.
