You Can Tell Me Anything, chapter 29
*Still Tre's POV*
I woke up to Kat screaming around four in the morning. Within seconds Mike and Billie are up too. There isn't really anything I can do to help her so I just hold her tight and tell her it's ok. I'm sure it's not helping that her stomach hurts so much. The doctors have her whacked up on pain killers but I don't think they're helping all that much. After about an hour or so she fell back asleep. I looked over at Mike and Billie... They're both wide awake. None of us went back to sleep.
"Man I'm worried." Billie said ten minutes after Kat went back to sleep.
"Me too." Mike added.
"What are we going to do?" I asked
They both thought for a minute before admitting that they had no clue.
"She doesn't deserve this." I whispered, I could feel the hot tears swelling in my eyes.
"I know." Mike said as he came over to sit next to the bed. Billie also came over and pulled up a chair. We all sat there and watched her sleep for the next few hours. Around nine o'clock she woke up again. This time she stayed up. I think she just wants to go home. A doctor came in around 9:30 and said she wanted to check Kat out one last time before she left. She said it was really up to Kat if she wants us to stay or not.
"Ummm guys I have some.... Girl questions for the doctor... So can you please leave?" She asked.
"Yeah sure anything you want sweet heart. We'll be in the hall." I kissed her in the head and went into the hall with Mike and Billie.
"What do you think she meant when she said 'girl questions'?" Billie asked.
"I have no clue... If she wants to tell us she'll tell us." Mike said.
I nodded and we all paced around the hall waiting to be let back in. It seemed like forever before the doctor opened the door. She didn't let us in though. She closed the door behind us and looked at us seriously.
"Alright guys. She's physically ok but she's not going to be mentally ok for a very long time. We had a nice little talk and we all need to go talk about some things."
We nodded and she led us back into Kats room. Kat was crying silently in the bed with her knees pulled up to her chin. We pulled chairs up to her bed and the doctor remained standing.
"Kat do you want to tell them or should I?" The doctor asked.
"I'll do it." She answered.
"Would you like me to stay?" The doctor asked looking concerned.
"No it's ok." Kat said not looking any of us in the eyes.
"Ok then. You're free to leave as soon as you're ready. Now remember what we talked about. If you need to talk to anyone I'm always ready to listen."
"Thank you. I'll remember. And I'll think about what you said." Kat said
I got up and gave the doctor a hug. She left and we all took our seats around Kats bed again.
"Umm... I don't know where to start... " Kat said.
"Well do you think you'd be more comfortable talking at home?" Mike asked.
"Yeah I think we should do that." She said.
We got all her stuff together and she changed into a pair of my shorts and one my shirts. We figured she's want something big to wear so Billie went home before he came over and grabbed some of my cloths for her. She went into the bathroom and changed. By the time she got back we had all her stuff ready to go. We carefully walked out of the hospital and into the car. Mike drove and Billie sat next to him. Kat and I got in the back. I wrapped my arms around her and let her cry into my chest. I don't know what she has to tell us but it's really not good. Other than her crying the ride home was totally silent. We pulled into the drive way and Mike carried her stuff into the house while Billie hurried to unlock the door. By the time Kat and I made it up the stairs Billie had finally managed to open the door and him and Mike where running around getting the couch ready. Kat almost smiled when she saw Billie slip in a puddle of water in the kitchen and pull Mike'sshorts down in a desperate attempt not to fall. I helped her over to the couch where she sat down and tried to get comfortable. It didn't look like it was going that well. We all took seats around the room. Billie in one armchair, Mike in another and me on the couch with her.
"Ok... Ummm....." She said but that's as far as she got for a good 20 minutes. After she calmed down a bit she tried again.
"Ummm... Tre I'm sorry I meant to tell you but I was waiting for the right time.." She said starting to cry again.
"Shhh, it's ok. What ever happened it's ok." I said trying to get the story out of her.
"Ok I'm just gonna say it.....
