Chapter 18: Bleed
"What's going on?" I shouted at the doctor as he came from the room.
"There is some internal bleeding from the accident. How we didn't see it before, I don't know," the doctor explained.
"Is he going to be okay?"
"He's going to have to stay here for a while. We're going to have to run a few tests on him but he seems okay."
"When can I see him?"
"I'm sorry but I can't let you in to see him today."
"Why not?"
"He needs to rest, he's just not physically stable enough to see anyone right now."
"But I'm his friend."
"I'm sorry but there's no way that you can see him today."
"Thanks…" I muttered. I just didn't understand why I couldn't see him.
I came back the next day but it was the same thing. "I'm sorry but you can't see him," the doctor told me.
"I thought you said that I couldn't see him yesterday. I thought I could see him today."
"Well, his recovery isn't going very well and we don't want anyone seeing him."
"What's going so wrong in his recovery?"
"We may have to do surgery."
"Great."
"Come back tomorrow, you may be able to see him."
"Right." I turned on the ball of my foot and stormed out of there.
As I entered G Major I just wanted to kill anything I could get my hands on.
"What's with you?" Tommy asked me.
"Like you care!" I snapped at him.
"You're my friend, of course I care."
"The hospital just doesn't want me seeing Kwest."
"Why?"
"Apparently, his recovery isn't going so well."
"That seems like bull."
"Yeah, well."
"So what are you going to do?"
"What can I do?"
"Write a song about it."
I got to work on the song as soon as possible.
And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me
that it'll be ok,
Ya I try to believe you,
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be,
It always
turns out to be a different way,
I try to believe you,
Not
today, today, today, today, today...
Chorus:
I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow,
tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a
different day
It's always been up to you,
It's turning
around,
It's up to me,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
just
don't
Gimme a little time,
Leave me alone a little
while,
Maybe it's not too late,
not today, today, today, today,
today...
Chorus:
I don't know how I'll feel,
tomorrow,
tomorrow,
I don't know what to say,
tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a
different day
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm
not ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm
not ready,
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow
And I wanna believe you,
When you tell me
that it'll be ok,
Yeah I try to believe you,
Not today, today,
today, today, today...
Tomorrow it might change
Tomorrow it might change
Tomorrow it might change
Tomorrow it might change
Tommy got the song recorded as soon as he could.
I went back to the hospital the next day.
"I can't let you see him," the doctor said.
"Why?"
"He's getting worse."
"Then you should let me see him."
"I can't let you."
"What is going on with him? If he's sick enough for you not to let me see him, then there must be something wrong."
"We're not sure about it yet…"
"How can you not be so sure?"
"We're still running tests. It could be nothing, just an effect of the accident, or it could be more serious."
"Great."
"We might have some more information tomorrow."
"Yeah, it's always tomorrow."
AN: Poor Kwest. Anyways, R&R!
