Joey just laid in his bed tossing in turning in the middle of the night, thinking about everything gruesome including the first time he had visited the hospital when Serenity was placed there.
Joey's dream
Joey was only young, as he felt his dad drag him up the stairs with anger and frustration. "Joey come on let's go!!" Joey was only young and his dad was hard enough on him as it is. His feet was just dangling off the stairs and Joey tried catching up as best as he could. "Is Serenity alright?" Joey wondered as he got pushed into the hospital hallway as he dad began yelling at the small innocent kid. "Joey, of course not!! She's going blind, and she won't be able to see.. she won't be able to see you or nothing!!" Joey just looked down sadly as he hadn't seen her in awhile knowing she wouldn't even be able to see him even if he was there. Joey slowly opened the door as his mother stood outside, and saw Serenity laying quietly in the bed, in the white room with wires and masks all over her which concerned Joey. "Sis, it's me Joey! Why don't you wake up!!!" His dad brutal butted him making Joey feel worse about his sister when he explained every harsh thing to the young blonde boy. "Joey she won't wake up! They up her to sleep so they could do some things to her to fix her eyes, Joey." Joey still jumped around begging her to wake up as grabbed the kid from the collar viciously and placed him against the wall, until he fell down and cried.
Joey sat there as his father decided to cool down, and Joey was left with her until the doctor came in. Joey sat there with a smile and placed a small flower in the vase beside her. "I brought you some flowers to make you feel better sis. I know you don't deserve to be in the white room place.. this is where people suffer and you shouldn't suffer!" Joey cried as he looked at his sister who remained still underneath the mask and the wires. The doctor soon came in and looked at the young boy as Joey wiped his tears. "She's going to be alright?" The doctor thought about it and knew it was impossible to save her sight unless there was tons of money. " It may take awhile.. But we are taking good care of her." Joey shook his head and stood strictly and boldly at the doctor. "No, I'm going to take care of her myself! She's my sister she doesn't deserve to be here!" Joey argued as he tried getting Serenity out as the doctor grabbed a hold of Joey as he tried to get her out. Joey's dad ran in and grabbed him back hurtfully restraining him as looked at him and yelled. "Joey, she isn't come with you!!! She's stays here, Joey nothing you will do will fix it!! She's losing her sight and nothing will change that!!" Joey dreaded the white room, he hated the doctors and feared them and Joey still wanted to take the punk girl home just like he did years ago.
End of Dream
Joey woke up in a sweat, until he noticed it was only a nightmare of his fears again. He looked at the clock and saw it was bright and early and put on his clothing. "Gotta hurry and go see her again." Joey was sweet enough to bring a small things of flowers and headed to the hospital. He walked back into the white room again, with a chill up his spine remembering the stairs he was dragged up, and the walls he was pushed against here in the hospital when he was younger, something that never left his mind since. He proceeded into her room, and hoped the masks were likely to come over, but still the oxygen mask remained over her face, and the wires still laid attached on her. Joey placed flowers beside her and just sighed sadly knowing she hadn't woken up. "She's gotta wake up soon. I can't believe she was found in the bathroom hurt like that. Taya said she was in worse condition and who knows how many hours she laid there for. I can't believe someone would do that to her." Joey thought in anger, he hated being there after being reminded from his dream and his awful past. To Joey, all his life everything bad happened to the people he most cared about, and he couldn't stand it always happened to him.
Serenity had back smiling at Joey, as he looked up at her. "Joey, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" Joey shook his head and breathed in. "Sorry Serenity, just had a lot on my mind, and I thought I'd pay a visit to her to see how's she doing, and so far nothing is changed." Joey said as he placed flowers security in the vase, as Joey looked up at Serenity who was quiet. "This may sound odd coming from me, but last night after I left I swear I heard her say my name.." Serenity raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I believe you Joey. But it seems impossible when she is out." Serenity left Joey for awhile, as she went to talk to the doctor's about her condition and it was something that brought her smiling. "Joey's going to be happy! Finally, he can get her out of this." She proceeded towards the room with a slight smile on her face as Joey couldn't understand what would make her smile, in a hospital. "Joey, I just talked to the doctor about her condition... you can take her home now!" Joey smiled and hugged Serenity as Joey signed some papers, and slowly carried her out and grabbed some prescribed medicine, and telling Joey that her senses was coming back, and she would wake up soon.
Joey carried her lightly in her arms and carried her downstairs and placed her gently in the back, as Serenity supported her in the back. "I can't believe she's already out of that hospital, for now that will be the last time I'm there, or any of my friends. I'm just glad she's alright now."
Joey parked the car and opened the door and laid her gently on his bed placed everything she needed beside the counter and pulled the covers over her. The phone rang as Serenity picked it up to hear Tristan's voice at the other end and smiled.
"Hey Serenity, how's your brother and that girl holding up?"
"Just fine. Joey and I just came back from the hospital, we took her home with us she's alright now she's laying down and likely is going to wake up soon."
"That's good to hear. Does your brother wanna come out with the guys, and you with Taya?"
Serenity thought about it, "Tristan, my brother might come out later on after he's done with her, and of course I'll come!"
"Alright, Serenity see ya later."
Serenity hung the phone up and proceeded to Joey's room where he laid quiet in his thoughts were her, "I'm glad your alright and now I can take care of you." Serenity came running into his room with a smile on her face. " Ummm Joey? Is it possible that you can come out for abit with the guys?" Joey thought about it and smiled and wanted to go out and he knew she wasn't going to wake up for hours. "We'll go now, I know she won't wake up then so I think a few hours wouldn't hurt." Joey and Serenity proceeded out for abit as Mai remained still in the room..
She blankly felt sharp pains throbbing on her head and had woken up aching, "I can hardly remember how I got myself injured.." She thought as she opened her eyes to find herself in somebody else's house and laying in a guy's bedroom with bandages and medicine found beside her, someone had came to her aid. "Where am I?" She looked around the bedroom seeing the messy shirts and clothes thrown around, and posters of women all over the walls and guitars she could tell it was some guy's room. She was happy someone was looking after her, but she couldn't quite figure it out who's place it was but for some reason the room seemed so familiar to her. The look, the smell, she couldn't place her finger on it, but she had already been here years ago when she liked Joey but everything she just couldn't remember. She wanted to move but she ached and decided that she'd try to look around the bedroom figuring out the place.
She looked around on the dresser nothing but socks, and other useless junk and found some playing cards that she gazed at. Then she drew her attention to the dead flowers and a picture frame, and the picture was ripped up only showing part of a girl's blonde hair but nothing else. "Feels like I've been here before.." she thought as she was intrigued by something."This looks interesting" She slowly grabbed something and read it through and her jaw dropped.... "
( yes a cliff hanger! Well at least she is out of the hospital now... but she has no clue where she is anymore... and I wonder what she read that caused her to be shocked.. read and review!)
