Touchin Leads To Sex And Then There's No Mystery Left (A Sequel To U Can't Do This To Me Mike), chapter 8
When Tre woke up it was dark, he blinked adjusting his blues eyes to the light trying to scramble the washed thoughts in his brain. He stumbled to his feet, grabbing onto the couch for support, he was in Jason's living room that was the first thing he registered. The second was that his body was aching all over; he glanced to his right, a mirror above Jason's fireplace. His reflection was bruised and battered, he looked to the floor, blood on the wood, his blood, he winced again as he bent down and picked up his shirt and pants, he was shaking, shaking uncontrollably. The previous actions were coming back to him.
Jason had lunged, Tre resisted seeing how drunk his friend was, but Jason was having none of it, being bigger and stronger, freakishly stronger, pinning Tre down, then pain, pain shot through Tre, his muscles ached harder as he remembered. He called out Jason's name, no reply.
"JASON!" nothing.
Tre wanted to scream, wanted to cry and hit his friend, he had hurt him, physically and mentally. How could he have done such a thing? How could he have abused him in such a way? How could he have raped his friend? Tre didn't want to stay, checking that Jason was defiantly gone; he ran out the house, he didn't know where he was going.
"A... Adi, please... " Mike started, trying to back away from Billie, but the singer had grabbed his hand and refused to let go.
"No Mike, no, I should have been here when Billie woke up, not YOU, I'm his wife." Adi was advancing eyes like thunder.
"Adi, you, you can't do this... " Mike wavered, squeezing Billie's hand.
"What Mike?" Billie coughed, he was weak, his voice hoarse and croaky, "I am here you know."
Adi and Mike jumped, both looking down on Billie.
Billie frowned weakly at his wife, "Mike stays here."
Adi's face fell, she swooped down on the bed-ridden man cooing in his ear, "Billie, I'm just looking out for you, I don't want you to get hurt, I love you."
"You saw me awake and the first thing you said was Mike get out. How do you think that makes me feel?"
"He...he was the one who did this to you."
"I'm not blaming anyone, only myself for not looking at the road properly, he is my best friend in the world, please Adi, please." Billie coughed, as she kissed his head softly.
"Okay... okay, sorry Mike."
"Thanks Adi." Mike smiled, sitting down on the other side of Billie.
"Sorry too."
"S'okay." she smiled back, her eyes still seemed shiny, very shiny. Mike couldn't shake off the feeling that she still wanted him dead.
Tre burst through the hospital door, hands holding him up against the doorframe, "I... I... ." Tre didn't finish, he collapsed on the floor, the security guards swept him up and Adi and Mike went to follow. Mike, however, was pulled back by a small arm,
Billie's arm, "Stay with me Mike, stay with me."
"Okay Bill, I'm here."
"What's going on? I leave you for a bit and Tre collapses and you and Adi hate each other?"
"She never liked me Bill, honestly in your heart of hearts you knew that... and Tre... well he's Tre."
Billie smiled warmly, and then grimaced as he tried to move himself.
"Bill are you okay?"
"Yeah I... it just hurts, my head and my neck and stuff."
"Want me to get a doctor?"
"No, no I'm fine."
Adi was waiting with Tre in a nearby bed, a young doctor scooted over with a clipboard, "Err, hello are you Mrs. Err... Cool?"
"Oh no, no I'm just a friend."
"Oh right, because... well can I talk to you in private?" Adi nodded, confused, wondering whether they had found traces of pot in Tre's system, that wouldn't surprise her.
"Well, err, I have a few questions to ask... by any chance... do you know whether Tre is a homosexual or not?"
Adi was taken aback, "Err, no."
"Well... we... we have reason to believe that he has been raped."
Adi's jaw dropped, "WHAT?"
"If he wants to we can call the police and sort everything out... "
The Doctor's pager suddenly bleeped and he apologized and left her in a state of disbelief. Tre had woken up, protesting to the nurses that he was fine and had joined Adi at the entrance of Billie's room.
"Adi, you okay? Bill's awake?"
"Yeah, yeah, but Tre, you, you..."
"What?"
"Don't play all innocent, Tre, the doctor told me what happened to you."
Tre went red, looked at the floor, tears spilling in his eyelashes.
"It's true isn't it?" She said softly.
Tre sniffed, blinked and lifted his head, "Yes, it is, just... Adi, don't tell Billie, he's not well enough to know okay?"
Adi nodded, they hugged the drummer tightly, "Who was it Tre? Do you know? We have to tell Mike... and Jason."
Tre stiffened at the mention of the guitarist's name, Adi pulled away feeling his muscles tighten, her hand reached her mouth in horror, "It was Jason? I... .I wondered where he was but... he wouldn't... he just wouldn't... ."
Tre cringed, not knowing what to do.
"I'm, I'm going to talk to Mike, go in and see Billie will you?"
Tre nodded, sniffed again, composed himself then swung open the door to greet Billie with a "WAHEY!" and a huge smile.
"Tre!" Billie croaked weakly, "What happened to you?"
"Oh man, I just, well you know, I was tired, I was worried about you dude! Glad your back!"
"Thanks Tre" Billie coughed as his drummer hugged him. Mike eyeballed Tre as he sat down opposite the bassist. "Mike, Adi wants to see you outside."
Mike swallowed at Tre's words, "Okay, I'll be back in a minute Bill."
The sick man nodded and continued to listen intently to Tre who was telling him that the singer's boys were asking after him.
Mike felt like he was walking through death row as he saw Adi sitting on chairs outside chatting to a member of security. She stopped when she saw Mike, standing up and leading him away.
"Mike, Tre, Tre was raped last night. The doctor told me."
Mike felt dizzy, then angry, very angry, "WHAT? BY WHO?"
Adi shifted on her feet, "Jason."
Mike's blood boiled, his brow creased, "WHAT? THAT LITTLE SHIT, I'M GOING TO GET HIM ADI, I SWEAR!" And with that he ran down the hospital corridor and out of sight.
Adi, shook up, readjusted herself then walked back into Billie's room,
"Hey" she smiled sitting down opposite Tre.
"Where's Mike?" Billie croaked.
"He's err... gone to find Jason." Tre looked up at Adi who smiled at him.
"Oh okay, I hope he's back soon." Billie smiled, suddenly Billie started shaking. The monitor beeps went crazy. Adi and Tre looked at each other in shock before Tre pressed the panic button for the doctor, where they were then ushered out of the room; Adi in tears, Tre terrified, watching, praying, hoping the doctor's could save his friend.
Jason had lunged, Tre resisted seeing how drunk his friend was, but Jason was having none of it, being bigger and stronger, freakishly stronger, pinning Tre down, then pain, pain shot through Tre, his muscles ached harder as he remembered. He called out Jason's name, no reply.
