Update #1 · 3:54pm Aug 16th, 2017

I'm back from the hospital... He's doing okay which has made me feel x1000 better. He hasn't thrown up since yesterday so something is clearly working which is great!

However, he was as white as a ghost for the entire time I was there and that scared me... Sometimes, it looked like his face was going to gain colour again but every single time, I was mistaken... Honestly, his face was as white as mine when I was seasick on a boat while I was on holiday earlier this year and I was a mess and seeing that in him, just tore me apart. His eyes were lifeless, he was shaking in the bed and I wanted to help... I felt so useless... I felt like I'd failed him and I can't make the pain go away...

Anyway, I arrived with a few friends as he wanted a few of us to be there with him and like yesterday, we chatted and just had fun and we made him laugh and for that time...he looked happy, he didn't look in pain and he smiled which I smiled at too because he just looked at peace, more than he had done since he'd there, from the phone call to seeing him yesterday, that was the happiest I'd seen him...

Eventually, our friends left us alone for a little while and that's when things went deep and personal... Now, I have a girlfriend how is currently living in Alabama and what I'm about to say does not change that. The first thing he did was take my hand and tell me how happy he was that I was able to come down and see him... I shed a tear and smiled at that and I told him that I've always got his back and I'll always be there for him, no matter what. He said that I was the first one who actually got off their arse and went to see him and I told them that I'll be here, to visit him, every single day until he is out of there. We then started to talk about our past and how much we've changed over the years but our strong brotherhood hasn't and to me, that says everything to me.

I hope that me and him stay best friends until death do us part because I don't know what I'd do without him. He's helped me through so much and he's been so supportive of my relationship because most of my other "friends" turned their back because of the long distance between us and the fact that we never see each other purely because of the cost to visit...

I have lots of friends but he's the one of the few that I know I can count on no matter what and our friends know how much this is affecting both of us and they have said that they'll help me and him through this because they know how much we care for each other and how much we got on.

I probably went off topic there but it felt right...

Anyway, there is update number 1...
