The Joke Is Over (Sequel to Late Night Partiers), chapter 8
The nurse led Tre into the elevator and let go of him.
"Nurse?" said Tre.
"Don't worry I'm still here I just have to press the button," she said reassuring him that he's not alone.
"I feel really afraid for some reason," said Tre.
"Don't worry," she said holding his arm again.
Tre felt comforted that she was still there with him. He heard another squilling sound and a ding, the doors slid open and she led him off of the elevator. They walked down a hall way and Tre felt a very strange feeling overwhelm him.
"I--I don't feel too well," he said.
"Why!?" said the nurse. "Do you want to lay down? ''
"No, I gotta go to Mike," said Tre.
He felt they were getting closer then the nurse stopped, "We have to go Tre..."
"What's wrong!?" said Tre sounding really worried. "Where is he!?"
She said nothing but she led Tre into the waiting room.
"What's wrong with Mike?" he asked. "What about Billie!?"
"I can take you to visit Billie, but you can't visit Mike yet," she said hearing faint sobs come from Tre. "A-are you crying?"
Tre didn't answer," I would like to go see Bille then.."
"Can I try to take those bandages off of your eyes, you should of regained your sight by now," said the nurse.
"Sure," said Tre.
She pulled some tinted glasses from her pocket and dimmed the lights slightly in the lobby. "Close your eyes," she said pulling one off after another then she put the glasses on him. "Can you see?"
Tre's vision was kind of blury but he could see pretty well, "Sort of."
"It will be blury for a while but keep them glasses on until about an hour or two after your sight returns to normal. I'd suggest 2 hours," said the nurse.
"Can I go see Billie now?" asked Tre looking at her.
"Sure," she helped him up and led him into Billie's room.
"Tre!?" said a voice.
Tre walked into the room and saw a familar blury figure, "Billie Joe!?"
"Yeah," said Billie. "I thought you went blind, but I see you havent went permently blind. That's great.. Have you heard from Mike? I havent heard or seen him in hours."
"No," said Tre sitting in a chair. "Nothing. ''
The nurse took Serge out of the room, "You should go home.."
"Mike Dirnt murderd someone, Keira.." said Serge.
"Well, someone tried to murder him in the cafeteria.. I suggest you just go to the station!" said Keira pointing her finger in his face.
Tre can hear them from in the hall, so could Billie.
"Listen here, Keira, you guys have a murderer in this hospital.." said Serge.
"He's not a murderer! If you heard anything that he has actually said... He was defending himself and the man tried to kill Billie! So, if you would open your fucking ears a little bit you would of... Your not a good father you know that... I am 22 years old, I know what I am talking about!" said Keira in Serge's face.
"Well, you shouldn't talk to a Sergeant that way," said Serge.
"Well, it's not my damn fault you were in the army for 45 years!" she said in his face.
Serge looked at her and walked off, "I'll be back Keira.. Just wait and see.."
She stood at the door and watched for anyone who dared to come into the room.
Keira saw them bringing Mike back down the hall, "Sweet lord.. He alive.." she murmured to herself. Kiera walked up to Betty and said, "How is he?"
"He got punched so hard that it ripped the back of his throat... It won't hurt anything, just a little cut... He will be talking and singing in about a few days to a week..." explained Betty.
They brought him into the room and Tre and Billie were so glad to see Mike again... Keira and Betty explained to them that he couldn't talk for a few days and left the room. Billie Joe and Tre talked to Mike as Mike found a notebook and wrote his replies instead of trying to speek. One reply said...
" I'm sure as hell glad that you two are here.."
"Nurse?" said Tre.
"Don't worry I'm still here I just have to press the button," she said reassuring him that he's not alone.
"I feel really afraid for some reason," said Tre.
"Don't worry," she said holding his arm again.
