"It's fractured?" you asked, shocked by what you were hearing.

About a week ago, Josh had started complaining that his right leg was bothering him. You both brushed it off at first, just assuming it was sore and the pain would probably go away in a few days. It wasn't until he finished a 5k and was practically in tears from the pain by the time that he finished that you decided he needed to get it checked out. Now here you were, learning that he had fractured part of his leg.

"Yeah, they're going to put a cast on it," Josh explained. "My mom was saying that she wants me to come to their house while I rest for the first few days, so you should get in touch with her."

You sighed and rubbed your temple, "Ok, I'll call her while they're putting the cast on."

"Thanks, I love you."

"I love you too," you said, standing up so that you could hug Josh.

Hugging was a bit awkward with the crutches that he was borrowing, but you managed. He hugged you tightly and rubbed your back to help you calm down a bit.

"I'm going to be ok, don't worry," he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

"I know you are."

He gave you one final squeeze before hobbling back off to wherever it was that he needed to be. You were thankful that they had let him come talk to you and let you know what was going on. Now you had to call his mom and figure out what to do.

The phone only rang once before she picked up, evidently she had been anticipating your call.

"Hello, Y/N!"

"Hi, Laura. Josh and I just talked and he mentioned that you wanted him to come and stay with you after he gets his cast."

"Yes, I don't want you to be in charge of taking care of him all by yourself. That just isn't fair to you!"

"Thank you so much for being willing to help me. I was just wondering if you want me to bring anything over for dinner or anything?"

"Oh no, we have everything we need. All you need to bring is Josh and your overnight things. The two of you can stay in Josh's old room so you don't have to waste gas driving back and forth."

"Alright. He's getting his cast right now, so it shouldn't be too long until we're over."

"Ok, drive safe! We'll see you soon."

"Bye, Laura."

"Bye, dear."

You hung up the call and immediately opened up your texts. Tyler would want to know what was going on too. Once he was informed, all you had to do was wait for Josh to get his cast on.

Half an hour later, Josh appeared now sporting a bright yellow cast on his leg. The nurses had given him crutches to use when he needed to move, which he was currently using. You stood up and walked over to him, just to make sure that he was getting the hang of walking.

"You doing ok?" you asked, resting a hand lightly on his back.

"Yeah, my leg feels a little better now."

"That's good. Do you want me to pull the car around so you don't have to walk all the way to the parking garage?"

"No, I can make it."

You sighed, "I shouldn't have phrased that like you had a choice. Wait here and I'll go get the car."

Josh muttered something under his breath, but didn't protest. You gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before walking off to find the car.
