From Preppy to Punk, chapter 3
Clarissa ran out of her room (while limping) and ran after Julie. She was screaming and crying.
"Julie! Julie! SOMEONE HELP HER! STOP STARING AT HER! HELP HER! OH MY GOD! JULIE! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! DON'T DIE! PLEASE DON'T DIE! YOU REALLY ARE MY BEST FRIEND! PLEASE-PL"
Clarissa tripped and landed on her face. She didn't care even though the pain seared through her face. Her nose was bleeding and one of her teeth were chipped. There was blood all over her. Julie and her stretcher were being pushed towards the elevator. The nurses were holding Clarissa back with all their might. Clarissa was kicking and punching and slashing violently at them. They just kept holding on while Clarissa cried and bled. She finally kicked the nurse in a bad spot and ran after Julie. Her stretcher was in the elevator and the elevator doors closed.
"NO!" Clarissa screamed as the doors closed. She found the nearest flight of stairs and ran up them. She checked on every floor for Julie, until she finally saw a trace of her stretcher turn the corner. Clarissa ran after her as fast as she ever ran before. She got to Julie's stretcher and immediatly pushed through the crowd of nurses and doctors that were surrounding her. She found a girl on the stretcher, a girl who was pale as hell, and she had black hair with green highlights. It for sure was Julie. Her eyes were closed, and her head was still bleeding. She wasn't breathing, and she was turning cold. The doctors were discussing what they were gonna do. They've had heads cracked open before, but this was serious. Clarissa stroked Julie's hair lovingly, while tears dropped on her angelic-looking face.
"I did this," Clarissa thought, "this is all my fault." She was blaming herself for the whole incident.
"Julie will die because of me."
(Back at Gilman)
Matt and his friends were still partying and moshing around. None of them knew that Julie was at the hospital dying. Tre, being the horny guy that he was, thought to himself,
"I wonder where Julie is. Maybe I can go screw her in a closet or something! So what if she's Matt's girl. He's too stoned to even care. Even if he wasn't stoned, he doesn't care about her anymore."
He told Bil, Mike and Matt that he had to go take a piss, and shuffled out of the mosh pit. He walked around looking for Julie, but couldn't find her. He even checked in the girls' bathroom, but still no Julie! He went outside, where he saw the police questioning people.
He heard the policemen say the name Julie. Tre ran up to the policeman and asked, "Did you say something about a girl named Julie?"
"Yes, the poor girl. Do you know what happened, young man?" the policeman said.
"No, I'm trying to find her what happened? She's a friend of mine. What happened?" Tre asked.
"Um..." the policeman said
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO JULIE?" Tre's temper was rising. "Tell me!"
"I'm so sorry, young man. Really I am. Julie tripped and hit her head on the concrete ground. Then the rowdy group of people trampled over her. She is at the hospital right now, getting life-saving surgery." The policeman replied sadly.
"OH MY GOD. I NEED TO BE THERE! I NEED A RIDE!" Tre screamed.
He hopped in the passenger side of the police car, while the policeman got in the other side. He put the pedal to the metal and drove to the hospital as fast as he could. After 5 minutes they were at the hospital.
"Thanks for the ride!" Tre said as he ran to the main wing of the hospital. He ran to the receptionist and quickly asked where Julie was. She was in the operation room on the 5 th floor. Tre got in the elevator and was on the 5th floor in what seemed like forever. When he got there, Tre ran towards the signs pointing to the emergency room. When he got there, he saw one of Julie's "friends" Clarissa. She was bleeding all over her face, and she was badly bruised. Tre didn't really care about that then.
"Is Julie in there?" he asked Clarissa.
"Yeah, she's bleeding everywhere! This surgery will save her life if it keeps her alive. SHE'S NOT GONNA DIE, TRE! SHE CAN'T! SHE CAN'T! TRE! SAVE HER! SAVE HER TRE! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! SHE'S GONNA DIE BECAUSE I'M A BASTARD-BITCH-SLUT-CRACK-WHORE! TRE! THEY'VE GOTTA HELP HER! THEY'VE JUST GOTTA!" Clarissa cried into Tres shoulder. Tre's eyes got teary all of a sudden. A single tear slid down his cheek, while his icy- blue eyes softened and turned aquamarine.
"I never told anyone this, Clarissa, but i loved her so much. I never said anything, and this is what i get for it. If she dies, there won't be a reason for me to live. All we can do now is wait." He sobbed.

After 3 hours, at 4:48 a.m, Julie was out of surgery. Her head was sewn up, and put in a coma. She was still alive, but just barely. Tre and Clarissa went in to see her at 5 a.m. She was so innocent looking and quiet, Tre and Clarissa burst out crying.
"When will she get out of the coma?" she whispered, as if Julie could hear her.
"Well, we took her out of the coma, and just put her on a heavy sleeping dosage. She could be waking up at anytime, now, actually." the doctor said.
"Tre, I'm gonna go get Julie some flowers in the gift shop, watch her for me, please." Clarissa said.
"Sure, no problem." Tre answered.
"Wait a minute, Clarissa," the doctor called after her, "you need to be treated. Your nose is bleeding and your tooth is chipped. I think you might've even dislocated your nose. It's crooked. We'll get a nurse to go get flowers, and I'll take a look at that nose."
Tre sat on the bed next to Julie. He almost forgot about Matt, Bil, and Mike. Tre flipped open his cell phone and called Matt. No answer.
"That jackass. He can't even hear me. Some boyfriend," Tre said as he hung up the phone.
"Y-yeah, he is a jackass," came a faint voice next to Tre.
"OH MY GOD! JULIE! YOU'RE OKAY!" Tre screamed as Julie as he gently hugged her. "I WAS SO WORRIED! I CALLED MATT, BUT HE WOULDN'T ANSWER! SOME BOYFRIEND HE IS-"
"Tre, just shut the hell up and kiss me," Julie said. Tre leaned in and pecked her on the cheek.
"Not like that, like this..." Julie said, and leaned in. Her lips met his and started moving along smoothly. Julie added tongue to it and Tre followed.
"Screw Matt, he's a bastard. I want you Tre, i always did." Julie said while holding his hand.
"Julie, you're all that i got. If you died, i wouldn't have a reason to live. I love you more than anything in the world. You can even ask Clarissa how much i've cried in the past few hours..." Tre said.
"Whoa, Clarissa's here? Wtf is she here for? I never want to see her again." Julie started to babble.
"Take it easy, she got pretty banged up. Well, not in the way you're thinking..." he laughed evilly.
"What happened to her?" Julie wondered.
"Long story short, her dad abuses her, she and her mom ran away, went to hospital for treatment, found you here, cried, cried some more, and now she's getting her nose fixed." Tre explained.
"Wow. I thought i had it rough. She lied to me for all these years. I can't believe it. I can't!" Julie started to cry softly. "Why didn't she tell me?"
"Ask her for yourself," Tre muttered as Clarissa entered the room. Dried blood was all ove her face.
Julie stared, Clarissa cried.
Tre left them to talk.
"YOU BITCH!" Julie yelled when Tre left and closed the door.
'Oh shit,' he thought. 'Here we go again.'
He walked down the hall and found a coffee machine. Standing right next to it was none other than Mike, Billie, and Matt.
"Where is she Tre!" Matt said angrily.
"In the other room yelling at Clarissa. They need to sort some things out." Tre said.
"Good. Because i don't want her to see me do THIS!" Matt yelled. He punched Tre in the mouth. "Tre, i thought you were my friend. How could you?" He spat. "I saw you ALL OVER Julie! She is MY PROPERTY!"
"NO SHE'S NOT MATT! SHE'S SICK OF YOUR SHIT AND SHE THINKS YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE! NO, MY MISTAKE, A JACKASS! SHE LIKES ME MORE, AND YEAH! I DID KISS HER. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT? I LOVE HER! THERE! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HER SO MUCH! MORE THAN YOU, BASTARD!" Tre screamed at Matt. Tre punched him right in the eye. Mike and Billie just watched.
"He is a jackass..." they muttered.
Matt finally gave up. He took one last swipe at Tre, missed, then stormed outside and left.
Mike and Billie praised Tre, and they went to go see Julie. When they went in her room, Julie and Clarissa were quiet.
"Wow, Tre. That was loud. Is he okay?" Julie asked.
"No, and i don't care." Tre said
"Good. I hate his guts." Julie whispered. She sighed, and fell back into a deep, deep sleep.
(5 hours later)
"Julie, Julie! WAke up. You have to eat some hospital crap food. Julie!" It was Tre. He shook her a little.
She was cold as ice...
"Julie! Julie! SOMEONE HELP HER! STOP STARING AT HER! HELP HER! OH MY GOD! JULIE! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! DON'T DIE! PLEASE DON'T DIE! YOU REALLY ARE MY BEST FRIEND! PLEASE-PL"
