The best love she ever had, chapter 6
Once I reach Tre's room I see Mike and Tre look up to me from the couch. Mike slams the phone down and comes over to hug me.
"Where did you go?" he asked.
"I went to go see Billie."
Mike nods and closes the door behind us.
"I'm gonna go have a shower and get out of these wet clothes." I say, walking through the bedroom door.
I grab some fresh clothes and close the door behind me.
After my shower I pull on my jean's and my blue polo and check up to see where Mike and Tre are.
Mike is on his cell phone, sitting on the couch facing the t.v., and Tre was sitting on the other couch looking at me. He notions for me to sit next to him.
"Who's Mike on the phone with?" I ask.
"It's the hospital." He says.
My chest tenses up.
After a minute or so of talking, Mike closes his phone and looks at Tre and i.
"Hey Darlene, what did you do while you were with Billie?"
"Nothing..I got the stupid idea in my head to try and talk to him... why?"
"Because appearantly it worked. He woke up 10 minutes ago asking for you."
We all look at each other and start to smile. We grab each other and hug.
Even then it hadn't hit me. "Billie is awake! His eyes are open, his hands moving, his brain working!" I said to myself, finally it sinking in a little.
"We can't see him right now because lots of test's are being done, but she said we could in half an hour. All of us!" Mike said. He was so happy, we all were.
I paced around the bedroom for half an hour, doing my hair and makeup, my hands shaking.
As I put my hairspray back into the bathroom I hear Mike. "Lets go!"
I grab my bag and we all rush to the hospital. We get to his door and Mike looks to me.
"You go in first. Me and Tre will wait until you say it's okay."
I nod and open the door.
I see his eyes are closed so i walk up to him slowly.
"Billie.." I whisper, trying not to startle him.
His eyes slowly open and I see the familiar sparkly green.
"Darlene! I'm so sorry! I-I-" He seems to be trying to yell but it just came out a whisper.
"Shhhh it's okay Billie, don't strain yourself." I found myself whispering too.
I grab his hand, this time so happy as his fingers move with mine.
I stood there for several minutes, just smiling and looking at him.
I hear the door open and turn my head to see Tre's head pop in.
"Hey Tre, come in." I said as he enters, Mike close behind.
Tre and Mike go around the other side of the bed, looking at Billie in disbelief.
"I'm so sorry.." Billie starts to say.
"No no dude. Your okay now and that's all that matters." Mike says smiling.
We all stand there for a minute smiling at each other.
"I fucking love you man!" Tre blurts out and kisses Billie.
"Alright, we'll leave you alone, get some rest." Mike says, pulling Tre away and looking across to me.
I start to walk away but billie wont let go of my hand. I look at him and can't help but start to cry.
Mike, realising I'm not coming, walks out of the room, Tre following.
I hate crying. I'm not one to cry... at least not in front of anyone. The only time's i've ever cried in my life is into my pillow, not making a sound.
I force myself to stop and raise my head to look at Billie.
"I have to go." I say, I grab my bag and practically run to the door.
As I open the door I hear Billie. "I love you."
I run out of the room, not even bothering to close the door.
"Where did you go?" he asked.
"I went to go see Billie."
Mike nods and closes the door behind us.
"I'm gonna go have a shower and get out of these wet clothes." I say, walking through the bedroom door.
