D: / :D
So shortly after I'd posted that last entry, I went to bed. Aimon had told me he hadn't been feeling well, dizzy, stomach pains. I suggested he was probably hungry.
Two hours later he's in hospital with a collapsed lung.
yeah.
I was awake most of the night, phone in my hand trying not to fall asleep and waiting for his next text as I had NO idea wtf was going on. I remember being awake at five and then I woke up feeling wide awake around 8am. I went downstairs, had coffee, got yelled at by my mum, then I rang aimon.
Basically, he's had chest pains and he couldn't breathe properly, so he went to Leeds General Infirmary where they stuck needles into his lung to get rid of the oxygen or something :S I'm still not quite sure how it works.
So I went to the hospital asap, got lost, and was eventually found by his dad, where I met his brother Naill and his g/f Helen for the first time. I then found Aimon, sat upright on one of those hospital beds, still in his sneakers + jeans, but a tube in the side of his ribs and shitloads of other various wires. He didn't look too happy as you might imagine. Then I noticed the tube coming out of his lung was dripping blood into a sort of bucket next to him. (remember the blog I did about my fear of this kind of thing? yeah) and it freaked me out.
Aimon's dad went home for a nap as he'd been with Aimon all night.
Aimon then got moved to St. James' hospital (or Jimmys as we call it - where I was born) which is a much nicer hospital. He wanted me to ride in the ambulence with him so I did. he looked so ill, it's such a depressing site to see someone you care about like that.
We got to St. Jimmys before his mum, naill + helen got there, and the doctor explained to Aimon exactly what had happened. He kept holding up aimon's bucket of blood and basically saying he shouldn't be bleeding this much. (I couldn't look.) and they had to see what was wrong and if they needed to opperate. I can't remember exactly what he said, but he was saying he'd get him in the theatre as soon as he could and it all sounded so serious and scary. I didn't like it at all.
Aimon kept saying I should go to FOB and I was like "There's more important things!" He was saying I should bring a friend
I sat with him, then he went for his X-ray and I chatted to his family. Then he came back. He looked so scared (can't blame him, I was worried as hell too) and, it sounds an understatement to say he was unhappy but I couldn't stand it. He just looked so young and little, I wanted to hug him but I couldn't without hurting him. Then he went into surgery. They were going to make a hole in his side and poke around to try find out what was wrong. Apparently it was supposed to take 40mins
So I went to the canteen with Naill and Helen, and honestly I had NO appetite whatsoever. I'm sure my stomach was rumbling but I didn't feel hungry, if that makes sense. I didn't feel tired in the slightest either, though I'd barely slept. it was strange. Then we went to pick Aimons dad up. And I grabbed Aimon's ipod+charger and his gameboy+charger cause he said he wished he'd brought his iPod and was bored. His dad said to me in the car "He was so looking forward to this gig, livvy" I felt so bad for him. We got back to the hospital and he hadn't come out of the opperating theatre yet, it'd been well after an hour. So we were all stood there really worried. Then eventually after a fair bit of waiting Naill found out that he was out of the theatre but was still in recovery. And that he'd been moved to bed no. 13. His mum was saying "Oh god number 13, I'm supersticious" and Helen was like "It's just a number don't worry :)" While we were waiting his dad was saying "I'm a parent it's my job to worry!" Which reminded me so much of my dad. Then we all heard a trolley going past and we all held our breath - but it was just something on a tray. then Naill went "Oh my god they've turned him into a printer!" And for some reason I found that seriously funny. It didn't help when Aimon's dad said something like "I wish they would" and I just looked at Helen and started laughing. Then he was complaining about how his printer wasn't working so he wanted a good printer. It was odd. :)
Then we went to the shops and I really had to go, I didn't want to leave without knowing Aimon was okay but I had to. I got the bus to town, then the bus home.
I met Roisin in the train station, totally dazed, hungry and dead but not feeling it. We got on the train and I was SO worried about Aimon... then thankfully Naill rang me and told me he was awake, wired on morphine and that he was okay! a needle had burst an artery in his chest so hence all the blood. But it was all fixed now. I was SO relieved :D Then I began to enjoy the train ride. Here's the train ride:

If you have Bebo, then all the pictures can be found HERE.
Then we got to Manchester, and basically ended up at the Apollo at 8:30pm (doors open 7pm) We had to walk for ages until we saw a tesco. I have a brief video of it, I'll upload it later. I may not actually, I'm singing "The Long And Widing Road... to Fall Out Boyyyy".
Anyway. We get there just in time to see Cobra Starship. Not impressed tbh. Though they played that song I know. And got some girl to do the rap, that was cool. We were stood quite far back. Then the lights went down...
And the intro for "Arms Race came on" and it was a sort of remix. and I started rapping Kanye West and THEY WERE PLAYING THE KANYE WEST REMIX!! I was so fucking happy. I was jumping around singing along really loudly to Kanye and I was like "HAA I KNOW THIS YOU DON'T".
Then FOB came on and they opened with ... Our lawyers! <3 so me and Rosh jumped forward, and started pushing to make a circle pit. however people were very unresponsive to this idea (wouldn't have happened in Leeds!!) Then they played Gin Joints which is my fave FOB song and a particular fave live, cause it's good to dance to. But people weren't making a pit! But me and Rosh were persistant, then some nice blonde guy came and helped us - and WE STARTED A PROPER CIRCLE PIT - HA! Everyone was hardcore dancing, it was amazing.
They were good, not brilliant but very very good. Patricks voice was on top form <3
They played patron saint, and I rang Kia. They played Saturday and me and Rosh did the typical hardcore hand movements you see in the video. They played THREE AND A HALF songs from IOH. I wasn't too happy. They played arms race (obvs), Thnks fr th mmrs (obvs), Takes over the breaks over (like I said they would) and HALF of Golden (which I said they'd play).
I was like wtf?
Anyway, they played dance,dance, which I'm getting tired of. So i thought fine, I'll dance. So i danced, half moshed, but mainly danced. And some guy stood next to me was smiling at me dancing. Then I started two stepping and slipped, but I grabbed Roisins hood (and nearly choked her apparently) and got back up, smoooth. I fell over in the pit but I had barely touched the ground before I was hauled back up.
It was incredible, two guys started actually fighting and Rosh held one guy back. Then the other guy came up and shook his hand and Rosh patted him on the back and stuck her thumbs up at him. Wow.
Then I saw two kids who had hold of each others hands and were spinning, as you do. But they didn't let go! So this guy did an amazing flying kick at them and they went flying themselves. Then some other guy saw what he did and straight up pushed him over. Then, he went over to him, helped him up, and shook his hand and they both nodded in understanding.
Incredible! I love gigs.
They played sixteen candles, which I called Carli during, and we were singing down the phone to her and everything :D They played Xo, which was incredible.
I think they ended with Saturday, I can't remember. but then we walked to subway and got on the train. We were being well annoying on the train back, I kept singing and Roisin took pictures of me immitating several kinds of animals. It was amaze. I am bruised to high heaven. It wasn't as brutal as Enter Shikari, but I'm covered in bruises!
Anyway, I'll probably write more about it later, I'm just effing KNACKERED now. I've had three hours sleep Ifeel DEAD.
Off to see Aimon tomorrow morning, my mum bought him a massive bar of dairy milk and a card. It's Lexx's birthday too. <3
amazing night. more pictures soon.
