My life as Tré Cool's Daughter, chapter 19
The next morning Me, Ramona and Frankito walked to the bus stop. Joey, Jakob and Stella weren't there.
"That's odd," I said.
When we got to school Joey and Jakob were waiting for us.
"Why weren't you on the bus and where's Stella?" I asked.
"Mom had to do groceries so she dropped us off and Stella is sick today," Joey said.
"OK," I said and hugged him
The bell rang so we went inside.
***
*Joey's P.O.V.*
We were doing Math when I got called down to the office. I walked downstairs and Jakob was outside of the office.
"You got called down too," I said to Jakob.
"Ya," he said.
"I wonder why we got called down," I said.
We walked into the office.
"Joseph and Jakob Armstrong?" The secretary asked.
"Yes," we said.
"Your father just called. Your mother has been in a car accident. Your dad is coming to pick you guys up," she said.
"OK," we said.
A couple of minutes later Dad and Uncle Tré came. Dad's eyes were all red and it looked like he had been crying.
"Go get Abby, Ramona and Frankito. They're coming with us," Uncle Tré said.
"OK," I said.
Jakob went to get Frankito and I went to get Abby and Dad and Uncle Tré went to get Ramona.
I walked into the classroom.
*End of Joey's P.O.V.*
*Abby's P.O.V.*
Joey walked into the classroom pale as a ghost. "Joey, what's wrong?" I asked.
Just as I asked that Dad and Uncle Billie came in with Ramona, Frankito and Jakob.
"Dad, what are you doing here? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Aunt Adie was in a car accident. We have to go to the hospital," he said.
Tears started to form in my eyes. "Is she alright?" I asked.
"We don't know. We got a call from the hospital so we came to get you guys," he said.
"Maddie is at home with the twins. She'll go after and Uncle Mike is meeting us there while Emma stays home with Stella," Dad said.
"OK. Let's go," I said.
We got in the van and sat beside Joey in the back. He was really quiet. "Joey, are you OK?" I asked.
He didn't answer me. "Joey, I'm sure she's OK. Everything is going to be fine. Don't worry," I said kissing his cheek.
"You don't know that Abby," he said.
"I'm sure she's fine. Probably just some cuts and bruises," I said.
"Ya. Probably," he said.
We walked into the hospital.
"Do you know what room Adrienne Armstrong is in?" Uncle Billie asked the girl at the front desk.
"She's in room 200," The girl said.
"OK. Thank you," he said.
We got to the room and the door was closed. A doctor came out of the room.
"Are you Mr. Armstrong?" the doctor asked.
"Yes I am. How is Adrienne doing?" he asked.
"Can I speak to you privately?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," Uncle Billie said.
***
Uncle Billie came back from talking to the doctor. "How is she?" Dad asked.
Just then Uncle Mike came around the corner.
"How's Adie?" he asked.
"Well. She broke her left arm, she also broke 2 ribs and... " Uncle Billie said with tears in his eyes.
"And what?" Joey asked.
"She... she lost the baby," he said.
He was crying now. Joey and Jakob were crying too. I was trying to comfort Joey.
He was in my arms sobbing. "Joey it's OK. At least she's not badly hurt," I said.
"I'm so sorry man," Uncle Mike said hugging Uncle Billie.
"Ya that's too bad," Dad said.
Now Jakob was hugging Uncle Billie.
"Can we see her?" Ramona asked.
"Ya," Uncle Billie said rubbing his eyes.
Jakob ran to Aunt Adie's side.
"Mom!" He said.
"How are you feeling?" Uncle Billie asked.
"I'm feeling OK but my stomach hurts. Stupid ribs," she said trying not to laugh. "It hurts when I laugh."
"So what exactly happened?" Frankito asked.
"Well I was driving home from doing some errands and the light was green so I went and then everything went black. When I woke up I was here," Aunt Adie said.
"Oh," Frankito said.
"How long do you have to be in here for?" Jakob asked.
"They said probably a week or two," she said.
"Cool," Jakob said.
"I'm gonna call Maddie and see if she can pick us up. We'll be back later Aunt Adie," I said.
"OK. Bye guys," she said.
"Bye Mom," Joey said.
"Does anyone wanna come with us?" I asked.
"No we're gonna wait," Ramona said.
Maddie came to pick us up. The twins were sleeping peacefully in their carriers.
"How is she?" Maddie asked.
"She broke her left arm, broke two ribs and... she lost the baby," I said.
"It's too bad that she lost the baby. I know she really wanted a little girl. But at least she wasn't badly hurt," Maddie said.
"Ya," Joey said.
"Can you take us back to the hospital when Dad comes home?" I asked.
"Ya. I wanna see Aunt Adie too," she said. "Dad can watch the twins."
When we got home we watched TV for a bit. I was sitting on Joey's lap.
"I don't know what I would've done without you today," Joey said.
"I'll always be here for you," I said.
"I love you so much," he said.
"I love you too," I said.
We started kissing.
Maddie walked in with Aiden. She cleared her throat and we broke apart.
"Can you watch Aiden while I feed Alyson?" she asked.
"Ya," I said taking Aiden out of her arms.
Dad, Ramona and Frankito came home for supper.
"We're going to see Adie," Maddie said.
"Ok," Dad said kissing her goodbye.
We got in the van and drove to the hospital.
"What room is she in?" Maddie asked.
"200," I said.
We took the elevator up.
"Adie!" Maddie said walking into the room.
"Hi Maddie," Aunt Adie said.
"I'd hug you but I don't want to hurt you," Maddie said laughing. "So, how are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling OK, but my stomach hurts. It hurts to laugh," She said trying not to laugh.
Me and Joey sat on the couch.
"Where's Uncle Billie and Jakob?" I asked.
"They went to go eat supper. Tré said that Joey and Jakob could stay over. Is that ok?" Aunt Adie asked.
"Of course Adie! They can stay over any time they want," Maddie said.
"Well we have to go soon but we'll stay until Billie comes," Maddie said.
"OK," Aunt Adie said.
About half an hour later Uncle Billie came.
"OK. Well we'll see you later Adie. Bye Billie," Maddie said.
"Bye," they said.
"Bye Mom," Joey said.
"Bye," I said.
We went home and got ready for bed. Dad and Maddie let Joey sleep with me in my bed since he had a rough day.
"Goodnight Ramona," I said.
"Goodnight," she said.
I looked over at Joey and he was already asleep.
"Goodnight Joey. I love you," I whispered and kissed his cheek.
"That's odd," I said.
When we got to school Joey and Jakob were waiting for us.
"Why weren't you on the bus and where's Stella?" I asked.
