Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, chapter 4
*The next day*
*???'s P.O.V.*
I got up at the crack of down, literally. I decided that I would get the guys to visit Kali.
So I did my normal morning routine; woke up, stretched, thought about what I had to do that day, got up out of bed, thought about waking the guys up in some way that would piss them off, decided against waking the guys up in some way that would piss them off, looked for my things to take a shower, took a shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed, did my hair, looked at my hair, debated if I should lock my-self in the bathroom or not, decided not to, finished getting ready for the day, thought about dumping a glass of water on Billie's head, decided against that too, dumped a five gallon bucket on Billie's head.
Yup, a typical morning in the life of Tre Cool!
*Billie's P.O.V.*
I was having a sweet dream about Adie. We were at the beach and I was reliving the night I proposed to her. Well, I was just about to when a whole bunch of water hit my face and it was freezing cold too.
I thought it was just in my dream for a sec, cuz just as I knelt on one knee, a huge wave came and I got soaked. Well, that was until someone jumped on me, waking me up.
I screamed as loud as I could. I heard some sniggering, and I knew who had done it immediately. Tre.
"Tre!" I yelled jumping up out of the bed, not even putting on pants or a shirt and ran after him. "You have better run fast! Cuz once I get a hold of you, you'll be dead!"
I chased him right out of the hotel room. I most likely got a few disgusted looks from a few people. They probably didn't like to see a grown man running throughout the halls of a nice hotel at six, screaming and half naked.
Tre ran down the stairs and into the hotel restaurant. I ran after him gaining on him. I jumped over the banister about half way down, and landed gracefully on my feet. I regained my stance and began running after him, yelling obscenities at him the whole way.
He ran into the lobby and thought one of the doors that lead to one of the rooms that did something. I ran into the same room. I quickly looked for him and spotted that sauna door closing, we were in the poolroom.
I ran after him, opening the door. A whole bunch of steam came out.
"TRE COOL!!" I yelled stepping into the sauna. The door shut behind me. I looked around the sauna, looking for my prey.
Not finding him in there, I went to leave but found that the door was jammed or locked.
'Just great!' I thought. 'This is just perfect! I am stuck in a sauna, full of girls, in my underwear, so angry with Tre that words cannot describe my anger!'
"Your Billie, aren't you?" a girl asked.
"Depends, what are you going to do if I told you I was?" I asked getting nervous because I was in my underwear, in a sauna full of girls, some of them looked like they would hurt me if I moved a single inch.
"Just wondering." she replied. "You look a lot like the lead singer of Green Day. But I doubt the lead singer of Green Day would come into a sauna at six in the morn, in his boxers."
*Tre's P.O.V.*
Yeah, I just locked Billie in a sauna, full of girls, in his underwear! This one is going on the top pranks list.
So, after that, I walked back up to our hotel room and flopped down on the couch.
Mike walked in a few seconds latter, he was fully clothed and ready for the day. He walked over to me and sat down.
"Hey, Mikey. Sup?" I asked.
He grunted in response and got back up to get coffee.
"Where's Billie?" Mike asked.
I smiled and said, "At the pool. He told me so before he left."
"Whoa, wanted to start the day off early huh?"
"Guess so."
*an hour latter*
"Tre?" Mike asked, while sitting on the couch in front of a television.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Did Billie tell you when he would be back?" He asked, still staring at the television.
"Ummm," I said, thinking quickly. "No. I think he told me to tell you that we should get him when we are ready to go to the hospital."
"Oh, kay," Mike said. He bought it!
"Yeah, so when we going?" I asked as I walked out of the bedroom. I was just making the beds because I felt like it... Don't ask. I guess I just needed something to preoccupy me while I was waiting for all of the awkward questions that I knew would be asked if Billie didn't come back soon.
"I don't know. Let's go get Billie and ask him." Mike said getting up from the couch.
So, we walked out of the room and headed down the peach corridors towards the staircase. Mike and I were silent the whole way. Once we got to the head of the staircase, we saw a crowd gathered around the door to the pool.
A shot of fear ran threw me. Had they found him? What happened? Oh, no! I was surely going to die once he gets out. That was a clear fact.
Mike and I walked to the lobby and pushed our way threw the crowd. Once we got close enough to see what was going on, I dashed back out into the lobby for fear that if Billie saw me I would be dead.
So, I decided to hide. Hide far away. So far that he wouldn't be able to find me.
*Billie's P.O.V., same time*
So, I have been stuck in this sauna for about an hour now. I was not a happy camper to say the least. Well, neither would you. If you were stuck in a sauna, in your underwear, full of girls, at seven am, and to add to all of that you had to go to the bathroom so bad that you couldn't even describe it...would you be a happy camper?
So, yeah, I was starting to get really scared now. This one girl in the far corner would not stop looking at me. I mean, come on! It's bad enough to be in this place, given my circumstances but she would not stop looking at me!
I felt like all of my dignity and personal space had been brutally ripped away from me.
"Please stop looking at me," I said in the nicest voice I could. "It's really annoying and a violation of my privacy."
"So?" she said.
I sighed. I knew I was not going to get through to her.
I walked over to an empty bench and sat down.
The girl that would not stop looking at me got up from the bench she was sitting on, walked over to the bench I was sitting on, and sat down, extremely close to me. I started to get claustrophobic. I scooted over into the corner, as far away from her as possible.
She smiled at me and moved closer to me. I was trapped. Stuck in a corner of a sauna. No way to get out.
I could feel my breath hitch in my chest as I started to panic. I was wondering what they wanted from me.
"Could you please get away from me?" I asked as nicely as I could. "Please?"
"No," she said moving even closer to me, if that was possible.
It was then I noticed that all she was wearing was a white towel. The freaked me out even more. I was married for God's sake! She probably didn't know that.
"I am married, you know," I said showing her the ring on my finger.
"I know," she said.
What's with her? She knows I am married, but she still is like moving closer.
"Well, if you know I am married. What the hell are you doing this for?" I asked, now so ticked off I couldn't hide it.
"I like you."
"So, that gives you no reason what-so-ever to be trying to kiss me when you know I am married and no to mention I could be your dad!" I said.
"So?" she said. "Age doesn't matter."
"Ummm, sorry but you really need to get a life," I said.
I was now starting to panic. She was leaning closer to me. I could feel my lungs gasping for air but I just couldn't breath.
*At the hospital*
*Tre's POV*
Yeah, after I ran out of the hotel I caught a cab. I took it to the hospital and went to see Kali.
I took the elevator up to the fourth floor. Kali was put up here. I walked over to her room. There was a window that looked into her room. She looked so peaceful sleeping. Her foot was still in the sling. I thought that that must be pretty un-comfortable to sleep like that, but then again she is probably used to it.
The sheets that were draped over her looked like they were trying to kill her in their force because of how tight they looked. I saw that Kali was hooked up to all shorts of machines. The one closest to me must have been her heart rate, because it had a steady beeping that even I could here outside of the room. The lines on the machine contradicted what the beeping was saying. The lines were uneven and spaced far out.
I turned my attention back to Kali. Her chest was rising and falling with her deep, un-even breathes. She looked like she was trying her hardest to keep breathing. I looked on the scan sadly as I remembered the last time I had seen my Grandpa.
He had breathed the same way as Kali was now before he died. I learned latter on that he had to make sure he could here him-self breath when he was asleep otherwise he would think he stopped breathing entirely.
"Excuse me, sir?" someone said from behind me. I turned around startled by her sudden appearance. "Are you here to see her?"
I nodded. She let me into the room. I sat down next to Kali and studied her features once again.
A nurse came in a little while latter and shut off a few machines. The beeping stopped.
Now that all of the noise in the room was gone, I could hear Kali breathing deeply. She sounded just like my Grandpa. I noticed that a few times she would skip a breath and just lie there for about ten seconds not breathing. The first time I started to panic, thinking she died. I was just about to call a nurse when she took in a deep breath.
After I sat there for a while, thinking about everything that I had in life and how easy it could all just disappear like that, I noticed that there was a pattern in Kali's breathing. In, out, in, out, in...out, in, out, in, out...in, out, in, out, in...out, in, out, in, out...
Then the pattern would start again. It went on like that for about ten minutes. Then Kali just stopped breathing. She was lying there like she was in heaven.
I started to panic. I didn't know what to do. I had never dealt with things like this before.
I ran out of the door, in a state of panic.
"I need help in here!" I yelled. "Now! Kali has stopped breathing!" That got their attention.
About two doctors rushed towards me, questioning what happened and checking on her. After about a minute she started breathing again.
"Oh, it's nothing to worry about. She just has sleep apnea," the doctor concluded.
"Oh,"
*???'s P.O.V.*
I got up at the crack of down, literally. I decided that I would get the guys to visit Kali.
So I did my normal morning routine; woke up, stretched, thought about what I had to do that day, got up out of bed, thought about waking the guys up in some way that would piss them off, decided against waking the guys up in some way that would piss them off, looked for my things to take a shower, took a shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed, did my hair, looked at my hair, debated if I should lock my-self in the bathroom or not, decided not to, finished getting ready for the day, thought about dumping a glass of water on Billie's head, decided against that too, dumped a five gallon bucket on Billie's head.
