( < Argument > )
The ride back was peaceful and tiring John sat comfortably while listening to the radio ignoring Joseph who was at the driver seat completely
His expression unreadable but his hands tighten eaçh time he went through his phone before tossing it to his side feeling a bit frustrated
Seeing such made Joseph a bit tensed but closed his mouth
" Troublesome!! "
Joseph frowned upon listening to John who curse in whisper
Joseph couldn't help but sighed in worry
but was soon reminded of his wife waiting for him
" I don't understand why I should drive you home all of a sudden,don't you have hands to drive yourself ? "
Joseph asked his voice low and filled with irritation
" Oh!! "
John hummed lazily not minding Joseph outburst infact he been expecting it
" at least increase my salary then I won't mind driving you "
Joseph grumpy loudly only to be ignored yet again he could only sighed in defeat accepting his fate
" But anyway you look kind of pale you didn't even touch your lunch are you sick or something "
Joseph asked his voice echo with concerned over his friend who simply nodded heavily
" Am good just tired "
He smiled bitterly infact in was more than tired ,he felt both hungry and feverish but didn't want to dwell on it
" I can make something to eat when I get home "
He thought his eyes narrow in mockery
" Home "
He whispered softly with a gloomy expression
" that house was more like a eerie hotel than any home he knew "
He thought sadly knowing very how quiet and lonely he had always felt each time he went back to the building he refer as home home
His eyes narrow at Joseph who was now humming along with the music in envy in his heart
Though he was a bit rich in comparison than Joseph but deep down he knew Joseph was extremely lucky in having a warm family to wait for him back every day
Unlike him whom life was has always revolve in the dark memories of his parents
Joseph life was warm and comfy
" Tina ! "
John was suddenly remembered about the phone call he had relating to Tina
his hands shook from fear but yet he couldn't quite hold himself anymore
" What if am over thinking? "
He said softly with a unsettle heart he needed to get closure
" Joseph I suddenly feel sick please take me to federal hospital "
Joseph who was focused completely glanced his way before focusing on the road
" Where are you uncomfortable?"
He asked his eyes narrow in concerned over John who smile softly.
He was suddenly reminded of the days Joseph and him lived in the small rental house
Though it was extremely uncomfortable living in a tight hot room like cage animals but it was nice since they only had each other
But yet again he was suddenly reminded why Joseph parents never really bought a car for him
after all the earnest promises he was fed by his mom if he did got a decent paying job
Joseph was after all a speeding manic though John had always wondered who had thought the boy had to drive so roughly
" Don't get us killed just drive slowly he federal hospital is not far "
John half yelled his voice hoarse and his throat dry but still he yelled at Joseph rough driving
After all he still wanted to live so badly that dead was not an option for him
" Am not in labor just drive slowly don't get us killed "
He reminded Joseph who frowned but didn't say a word instead he increase the speed the more
" What are you doing ? You are going to get us killed at this rate "
John remind weakly not having the energy to do anything
he could only watch Joseph who drove down into the second district
" ? "
" Keep quiet "
Joseph earnestly yelled at John who wide his eyes in disbelief
To him it been a long time Joseph has ever raise his voice apart from when he joked over non funny memes
" John shut up and let drive"
He warned John who nodded numbly reminding him of the days when he was simply trapped in the illusion of happiness before everything came crashing down
" John !!! "
Joseph call but receive silence his eyes focused at the front mirror only to notice the odd way john sat
his eyes half open but felt distance like he was trapped in his memories
" John!! " .
This time he answered his dull eyes focused completely on the road alongside with Joseph who sighed in relief
the moment he sighted the old white tall hospital building
Which was center close to a radio studio Joseph being impatient parked the car before climbing out turning off the engine
" John !! "
He called for John who climbed out his body shaken from the fright Joseph had put him through but yet again seeing him in such condition made Joseph distressed
" Are you that week that you can't stand ? "
He asked John who frowned wanting to yell at the idiot of a friend only to swollen down the moment he saw the genuine worry in Joseph eye's
" Don't worry I will help you in "
With that he hurry towards the entrance ignoring the look of passerby as he rushed the dumbstruck John into the hospital
