Josh hates hospitals. He really, really hates hospitals.
There's nothing to do, nothing to truly ground him, and he's found himself floating through memories as they do test after test, as they ask why he hasn't been to the hospital yet. One nurse asked him if he was really kidnapped, which made Josh fall into a panic attack more extreme than he'd had ever since Spencer had come into his life.
Just the question had made him doubt himself.
And then after more analysis a doctor had said that Josh's arm hadn't healed properly (he'd guessed that) and that up the best course would be to surgically rebreak it.
Right. They were going to break his arm. Again.
Josh didn't want to go through this.
Nobody was there with him. Tyler had to work and so did Chris. Nick had texted and said that he'd visit soon, but soon took forever.
His phone buzzed.
Nick: ayyyy im here give me like a few minutes to check in
Nick: okay now theyre trying to find someone who knows sign language
Nick: gdi
Nick: #deafproblems

Nick: nope. today is a Good Day!!!!!!
Nick: shes at home with spencer
Nick: they found someone be right there

True to his word, in a few minutes Nick was entering the room with a smile on his face. He waved at Josh and Josh waved back. Nick sat on the chair beside Josh's hospital bed and took out his phone.
Nick: i would ask if youre okay but youre in a hospital bed soooo
Josh snorted in laughter. Nick grinned.

Nick: clam down on the !!!s
