I'm in a Pickle, chapter 8
*Billie's POV*
"Tre, are you senile?"
"What are you talking about? I'm fine! Wait...where am I?"
"You're in the hospital."
"Why? What happened?"
"You crashed in a pole, dumb fuck."
"I did? Oh my God! Is Kia okay?"
"Yeah, she's over there by Meghan."
"Who's Meghan?"
"Tre, just stay here and talk to yourself."
Tre was talking to himself while I walked over to the nurse and talked to her.
"Nurse, what happened?"
"Temporarily, Frank has lost his memory, but it can be treated."
"What do I need to do and why can he not remember who my girlfriend is?"
"I can give you medicine, but it won't help him very much. He doesn't remember who she is because he only remembers the ones closest to him."
"Oh, that makes me feel a lot better," Meghan said.
Tre kept on talking to himself.
"When can we get them out of here?"
"In about 24 hours or more."
"Well, can we stay with them?"
"I'm afraid not. We have to treat them. But we will contact you if anything goes wrong or you need to pick them up."
"So, we just go home and wait?"
"Yes."
I called a cab and me and Meghan rode home comforting each other.
*Later, My POV*
"Billie, what if something goes wrong? What if Tre loses all of his memory? What if they die?"
"It'll be okay. Don't worry. Worrying always makes it worse."
Billie always knows what to say and how to cheer me up. I never wanna lose him. If I lost him, I wouldn't know what to do.
The phone rang and interrupted my thoughts.
"Hello?"
"It seems that everything is going well with Frank and Kia, so you will be able to pick them up within the next 18 hours."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, sir."
"Uh...I'm a girl."
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it like that!"
"Okay...bye." I hung up before she could say good-bye.
"Who was it?" Billie asked me.
"The hospital. They said we'd be able to pick them up in like 18 hours. Oh and she called me a sir."
He laughed.
"Don't laugh at me! Do I actually sound like a man though?"
"No...you sound like a girl."
"Okay, I'm gonna trust you."
I was standing in front of him and he pulled me down.
Billie left after a, you guessed it, a snack, then he kissed me good-bye.
Kia's mom had been staying at a hotel in the meantime and she came over to talk to me.
"Meghan, since Kia has, you know, we'll be going home in two days."
"What?"
"Tre, are you senile?"
"What are you talking about? I'm fine! Wait...where am I?"
"You're in the hospital."
"Why? What happened?"
"You crashed in a pole, dumb fuck."
"I did? Oh my God! Is Kia okay?"
