-"I still remember the first time we went to see this movie in the theater", I say

-"I know, we were like 6 and your mom took us", Cameron says and I smile as I remember 5 and 6 year old us going to see Harry Potter.

-"Those were really good times", I say as I sadly sigh.

-"Hey, you are gonna have good times too, now if you get an audition, or if you go to college", Cameron tries to cheer me up

-"I know. I know", I say and we stay in silence for a while. Then I speak

-"I'll be right back, I need to call Josh", I say, he nods and I walk away. The phone rings 5 times and he doesn't reply. I hung up and call again. After the 3 ring, he answers

-"Congratulations! See I told yo.."

-"Hey Abi. Thanks", he cuts me off. He sounds sad.

-"Josh, is everything okay?", I ask and he sighs

-"When I got out of the awards, they called me from the hospital and told me my grandfather had a heart attack and he's in the ICU. I'm here in the hospital. I came straight here. Abi..", his voice cracks, "I don't think he is gonna make it"

-"Of course he will. Look I'll be there in a second okay?", I say. I don't know, but I feel this urge to protect him and make him feel better

-"You don't have to.."

-"I'll be there right away. See you", I hang up. I run back to Cameron, and hes playing with his phone. He sees the worry on my face.

-"What's wrong?", he asks and I explain everything in less than a minute

-"I'll drive you there", he says and we both walk to his car

                     ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

-"Call me if you need a ride back home", Cameron says as he stops his car in the hospital's door.

-"Thanks", I hug him and get out of the car. I enter to the hospital

Shit! its cold in here. And I left my cardigan at Cameron's

I walk to the waiting room and look for Josh. He's sitting on the last chair of the row, resting his head on his hands and his elbows on his thoughts. I walk toward him and sit by his side. I touch his shoulder lightly and he quickly raises his head. His eyes are buffed and red and has bags under his eyes. He looks at me and embraces me in a hug. I pat his back and he starts to sob quietly. I dont know what to say or what to do.

Doesn't he has a girlfriend? Isn't she the one who should be supporting him? Where the hell is that girl?

Not like I care

-"Let it all out. No one is gonna judge you", I whisper to him and he lifts his head to wipe away the tears

-"You dotn have to be strong all the time", I say and he chuckles

-"I tried to call Claudia and I left her a million of voice mails but she doesn't reply", he says "Thanks for coming. I really need a friend now", I smile. He considers me a friend. And Claudia seriously, what the hell?

-"She's supposed to stay with me in my dark times also, but someway she always manage to get out of them", Josh says now more angry than sad.

-"Josh, you'll talk with her later..."
