The Joke Is Over (Sequel to Late Night Partiers), chapter 23
Emily stared at Billie as he slept. She always admired his green eyes for some odd reason. She stared at the television, which was showing a mute version of Sponge bob. Emily couldn't help, but to stare at Billie Joe, she didn't know why. She turned to look at the TV again as she heard coming through the door. It was Tre coming in to check on them.
"Is Billie asleep?" he whispered walking in.
Emily smiled and nodded, "Shhh.."
Tre smiled back and tip toed over to her. He hugged her and said, "You need to go to sleep."
"No, I want to know how Mike is." she whispered.
Tre sat on the edge of the bed and said, "He can get out tomorrow, but he's going to have to stay with me or Billie."
"Why?" asked Emily.
"Because..." muttered Tre as he thought because we can't trust him in a house all by himself with a bunch of sharp objects. THAT'S the reason why!!!
Emily gave Tre a strange look and said, "If you say so, Tre."
He gave her a sneaky grin as he hugged her and walked up to behind Billie's chair. He tapped him on the head and said, "YOUR IT!!" Then he ran out of the room so Billie wouldn't smack him.
"Stupid loser!!" groaned Billie waking up. Emily laughed and Billie looked at her, "What?"
"You called Tre a stupid loser," giggled Emily.
"Well, he is. Tre's my stupid loser," said Billie with a smile on his face. "Did he say anything about Mike?"
"He said that uhmm. Mike can get out tomorrow but has to stay in a house with you or him for a while. Oh, and he told me I needed to get some sleep." said Emily nodding.
"OH..." said Billie nodding himself. "Yeah, you do need to get some sleep because you have been my guard while I slept. Now, you get to sleep and I'll keep a look out."
"Ok." said Emily smiling. "Good Night Billie Joe."
"Night Em." said Billie as she lay down and fell asleep.
Billie watched her for a while and then looked at the television seeing Sponge bob was about to go off. I like that episode too.... He looked back at Emily Poor girl. But hey, one of us is getting a new daughter.
Billie got up and walked into the bathroom to wash off his face. He dried his face off and stared in the mirror. Streaks of eyeliner were still running up and down his cheeks. His black hair was everywhere and his black shirt was wrinkled. Billie yawned and ran his fingers through his hair then stared back into the mirror. it's as good as it's going to get Bill.. He walked back into the room and sat in the maroon chair. Billie felt sleep as he looked at his jacket lying in the floor. He picked up the black leather jacket, which was still pretty warm from when he took it off. Feeling around in the pockets he found his wallet, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a sharpie marker. "Wow, I have the most interesting stuff in this jacket." He stuffed all of it back into the pockets and shoved it behind him. Billie's eyes got heavier and heavier by the second, but he tried to stay awake. He yawned again as he saw Emily's eyes open back up.
"Billie," she yawned.
"Huh?" he muttered.
"I can't go to sleep," she whispered looking at him.
"Do you need anything to go to sleep? A song, music, night light, a story?" suggested Billie.
"Well... I'm use to it being pitch black and having someone lay with me," she muttered.
Billie nodded and walked over to turn the light off.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Well, you said it has to be pitch black..." said Billie turning the light off then sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Could you leave the TV on just in case I get scared?" she mumbled.
"Of course," he said lying down as she wrapped her arm around Billie's arm.
Before he knew it she was asleep and so was his arm. Billie looked at her for a few minutes then fell asleep too.
Billie woke up being tapped on the shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw Tre about an inch from his face. "What?"
Tre looked at him, "Does she sleep like that?"
Billie looked at her and she was still holding tight to his arm, "I guess so. She said she had it being pitch black and having someone lay next to her."
"Oh," said Tre. "Hum. We're ready to leave."
Billie gently got her to let go while keeping her from waking up, "I'm going to see if she can leave too.'' He walked out of the door and saw the nurse and jogged up to her. "Nurse can Emily leave too?"
"Of course." said the nurse.
Billie nodded as he turned and saw Mike standing there. It made Billie's heart sink as he ran up to him and hugged him. Mike hugged him back as Tre came out of the room holding Emily who was still asleep.
"Is Billie asleep?" he whispered walking in.
Emily smiled and nodded, "Shhh.."
Tre smiled back and tip toed over to her. He hugged her and said, "You need to go to sleep."
"No, I want to know how Mike is." she whispered.
