American Idiots, chapter 6
I opened my eyes and everything was black. I started to see if anyones was around and then I noticed Billie Joe lying on a bed next to mine. "Hey! What happened?" I asked him. No reply. "Billie!" I screamed. Suddenly the door opened and it was Mike. He looked at me and smiled. "Oh thank god you are ok!" He smiled. I hugged him. "What happened. He explained to me that two men had run up to us and smashed mine and Billie Joe's heads with glass. I felt tears well up in my eyes. "Is everyone else ok?" I asked. "Yes...But im afraid that they also ran into your dad's store and...." He trailed off. "What!?" I asked worridley. "They shot him." Mike frowned. I began to sob. Mike pulled me close. "He is in the emergancey room now." Mike told me. "I hope he will be ok." I cried. Just then Billie Joe stirred. I noticed the pillow he was laying on was covered in blood and so was mine. I slowly felt the back of my head. It was bloody and had been stitched up. "Wha..." Billie Joe began. Taigan had been waiting outside and when she heard Billie Joe's voice she ran through the door. "Billie! Im sooo glad your ok!" She shouted. Billie Joe smiled at her and layed back down while Taigan sat beside him. We talked for awhile and we stil had planned on going on the tour. Soon a doctor walked in. "Which one of you is Katie?" He asked. "I am.." I choked out. "Im sorry but im afraid you father has slipped away..." He said and walked out of the room. I burst into tears and pulled Mike into a hug. He held me close and told me that we could stay for the funeral.
*Day of Funeral*
We all stood there in silence as they put my dad into the ground. Many people came up to me and said how sorry they were. I was now crying on Francesca. She patted me on the back and whispered, "Its ok we are all here for you." I smiled at her and wiped away my tears. We then headed back to the house.
*1 day later*
"Hurry and pack your stuff Dammit!" I screamed at Taigan who hadnt even started yet. "Fine!" she began stuffing clothes into her bag. My cat came up to me and rubbed my leg. "Aww hi sweety!" I cooed picking her up. "Hey I thought I was your sweety?!" Mike said jokingly. "Of course you are!" I said pecking him on the cheek. "Omg! I have to show you guys something that Pebbles can do!" I ran into my closte and pulled out a little piano. I put her next to it and she new what to do. She began to play my "Basket Case" on her piano! As she finished I turned to the guys and said, "Well what do you think?!" "She rocked!" Tre screamed. I laughed at him. "I think we should take her on tour with us!" Billie Joe said. We all agreed and as we were finished packing we heard a loud crash downstairs....
