Trashing The White House, chapter 13
The ambulance screeched away as the lonely 5 stood there wondering... just wondering if they would ever talk to their friend again knowing that he was listening... or ever hear that voice come from his mouth... wondering... just wondering...
"OMG! What will I ever do without him if he dies?... "
"What ever happened to the bastard that hit him?" Mike asked.
"I don't know we must have ran as soon as he saw us running." Lindsay guessed.
"Yeah, sadly I never saw his face." Tre said.
"What if he does die... what if we never get to hear him... " Katie asked under her breath as if she was talking to herself.
"What if I never get to see his beautiful green eyes staring back at me the way that they always did before this horrible accident... god what will I do... "
"Well he better get to the hospital." Mike suggested.
... where am I... what happened to my friends?... what is that sound?... god I need her... I need her... where is she?... where are THEY?... where's Mike?... where's Lindsay?... where's Tre?... where's Katie?... and god where's Jessica?... I need her... I need her...
"Hurry up. Can't you drive an faster?" Jessica yelled.
"Well, Billie is the one that usually drives." Mike said not thinking of what he was saying.
"God WHY?!?!?!"
"Why did you say his name?" Tre asked.
"I don't know... I guess I just... wasn't thinking... "
"You can say that again." Katie said.
"Just hurry up and get there!" Jessica screamed.
"Ok!"
"Everyone just calm down!" Lindsay yelled.
"But I need him."
"We know that but you yelling isn't going to make it better." Katie said.
"I just need to see him... sorry if I'm getting on anyone's nerves."
"Its ok." all the others screamed.
"Good, good."
... where am I now?... am I in the hospital?... where are my friends?... I need to know... will I ever be able to talk again?... god so many questions that need answered...
"There we're here." Mike said with a deep breath.
"Where's Billie Joe Armstrong's room?" Jessica asked.
"Room 120 upstairs." the nurse said.
"Thanks." Katie said as she screamed as they ran to catch the elevator.
"Billie I'm here... I'm right by your side... I will never leave you again... I swear... " Jessica promised him.
... thank god you're here... please don't leave again... .please...
"Well we are going to wait out here so you guys can have some time alone... " Mike said as they all started walking out the door.
"In about 10 minutes I will let you guys come in... because just like you said I want some time alone... but you guys do to."
"Ok, I'll tell the others."
"I love you, I need you... "
... I need you too I have been saying that but you cant hear me... YOU CANT HEAR ME BUT I DO TOO!... .I do too... ...
"Um... Jessica the doctor needs to tell you something... that... I just can't... " Mike said as he walked in the room.
"Oh, God what is it?... "
"Well he just might be like this for the rest of his life... "
"Does everyone out there know?"
"Yeah, the doctor told us when I got out there."
"How could this happen to you Billie? Just how?"
... I don't know I don't know... oh god I can't be like this for the rest of my life...
"Well do you want sometime with him?"
"Hell yeah."
... Mike... oh Mike... I have missed you I need to talk to someone... some one I can trust... .but there is a problem with that... I CAN'T TALK!... god this is driving me crazy...
"God buddy why did you get yourself into this?... "
"I was only trying to save Tre... " Billie said with a surprised that if even came out.
"Oh my god Billie you woke up... I have to tell everyone!"
"What the hell was wrong with me?... I don't understand what was wrong with me... " Billie said when he was alone, but then all of a sudden Jessica came running in.
"OH MY GOD BILLIE!"
"JESSICA... GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"
"I LOVE YOU TOO!"
"We were worried too!!" Mike yelled.
"Oh Shit... sorry guys... get the hell over here!"
"God that was a close call... " Katie said breathing in very slowly.
"Yeah we thought we would never get to hear you again... ..I didn't say that I swear... .." Tre said.
"What ever Tre... "
"I swear I didn't... ok so I did... but you have to admit you do have a "unique" voice."
"Oh that's really something that you should say to a person who just was in a coma... " Lindsay said.
"As long as he is here now that's put the past behind us and move on... " Jessica said as she tried to convince herself the same thing.
"Well he will have to be in the hospital for a while the run some tests to make sure he is ok... " the doctor said still in the room.
"Ok... we can deal with that... " Katie said.
The next day...
"Billie here's your breakfast... wake up... " Jessica said as she walked up to him.
"Oh thanks!"
"Welcome."
"Ok he is mostly fine but... he may never be able to play the guitar again... " the doctor said walking into the door.
"Oh my god how could this happen to me?"
"Well we are not sure yet, but it isn't looking good."
"Well when will you know for sure?"
"We should know by the end of this week."
"Well I should still be here so I guess we could wait."
"But Billie that is three days away... how can we wait that long?"
"Well I would rather it take longer and be right the first time then be wrong and have to wait even longer for it."
"Well that is a good reason... " Mike said.
"Yeah, I guess we should wait." Katie agreed.
"Hey look at the bright side... we can get enough sleep... o wait that is gone too... " Tre said trying to make things better.
"Yeah, Tre I don't think that I could get any sleep knowing that he might not be able to play again... " Lindsay agreed with Tre.
"Well I'm tired I think that I'm going to at least try to sleep if you guys don't mind... but before that Mike can I talk to you?" Billie said.
"Sure" Mike said. "What is it Billie?"
"I am having some problems that I need to talk about... and as you know it is a little had for me to talk about my problems... "
"Well yeah, I mean you haven't talked to me about anything in years... So what is it?"
"Well see I have had a few... problems... with... I don't know how to say it... but... um... well getting my feelings out is hard for me... I can't say it... "
"OMG! What will I ever do without him if he dies?... "
"What ever happened to the bastard that hit him?" Mike asked.
"I don't know we must have ran as soon as he saw us running." Lindsay guessed.
"Yeah, sadly I never saw his face." Tre said.
