We'll be okay, we have each other., chapter 2
As Billie Joe reached the top of the stairs he was building himself up for what he knew he would see. With his hand on the door knob he clenched his other fist, closed his eyes tight and wished that it had not been real. As he entered the room he realised that this was real and all he could do was wait and try to bring his mother back round. "Mom, come on your all I've got. PLEASE, PLEASE wake up I need you." He then struggled to prop his mother up on her pillows turning the one with vomit around so that it didn't go on hism mothers face anymore. He cupped his hands around her cheeks and and gently shook her head,almost instantly his mother came round gasping for air and coughing.
"Billie I'm so- "
"Shhhhh, you'll be fine," Bille cut her off. He sat next to her and put his arms around her and cradled her, until he heard sirens. "Mom I'll be right back." He ran down stairs almost tripping over his feet, he greeted the paramedics and lead them upstairs.
He stood with his back against the wall breathing heavily. Everything was such a blur it was like he was outside watching. He stayed in his daze until a paramedic kneeled down and gently put her hand on his shoulder. "Do you have anybody you can stay with while we take care of your mom, son?"
"Where are you taking her??"
"Just to the hospital to make sure she's ok." Billie Joe tried to think clearly but it was if a thick cloud had settled over his head. He closed his eyes and shool his head slowly from side to side.
"Ermmm yes, my ermmmm uncle." Billie Joe thought about how he'd said he was there for him and that he was there.
"O.k son, whats his number?" She handed Billie a phone, as he started to punch the numbers into the phone he desperatly tryed to remember, after several attempts he had punched in the right number. After seven rings he thought that his uncle wasn't in, just as he was about to hang up the phone was answered.
"Hello?"
"Hi it's me Billie mom's taken tablets and she's in hospital... Can I stay with you?" There was a long pause, after what seemed like forever his uncle answered.
"What? The stupid cow's OD'd? No I'm sorry Billie i want nothing more to do with the selfish cow, and you are her kid so no, I'm sorry kiddo." Tears stung Billies face as he dropped the phone, it was like he had been drop kicked in the face,he couldn't breath, how could his uncle go back on his word and betray him like that?? Why was his uncle calling his mom names when they always got on so well?? Why was he so mad with him?? As the paramedic picked up the phone her face went white and her chin dropped, she looked astonished by what his uncle was saying, and eventually hung up. She looked Billie in the eye and you could tell by her face that she didn't want the next sentence to come out of her mouth. She bit her lip as if she was playing for time. Billie Joe was curled up into a ball with his head in his knees. The paramedic took a deep breath and said,
"Billie, you're gonna have to come with me, do you know what foster family is?"
"Billie I'm so- "
"Shhhhh, you'll be fine," Bille cut her off. He sat next to her and put his arms around her and cradled her, until he heard sirens. "Mom I'll be right back." He ran down stairs almost tripping over his feet, he greeted the paramedics and lead them upstairs.
