Chapter fifteen
Nick woke up in the hospital. Everyone was surrounding him, including Eddy.
Eddy was released from the hospital.
His parents paid the medical bill.
"What happened?" He asked in a low, dry voice.
"The ally thugs beat you up because you disobeyed their orders." Double Dee said.
"Oh yeah, and they shot you, too!" Eddy said.
"That was so sad, Eddy!" Ed said.
"Where are they now?" Nick asked.
"They are in Jail for life." Double Dee said.
"Who turned them in?" Nick asked.
Everyone pointed at Eddy.
"Eddy?" Nick said.
"Yes, It was me." Eddy said.
FLASHBACK TO FIVE HOURS AGO...
The ally thugs were outside of the apartment, laughing.
"That stupid boy. He thinks he can just not listen to us like that." Pierce said.
"Si. He's probably dead by now." Tito said.
"Yeah, well good riddance, fool!" Mr. T said.
"Stop right there!" Eddy said.
The ally thugs turn around and saw Eddy.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, stay out of the way!" Pierce said.
"I'm not going anywhere." Eddy said in a low voice.
"You guys were abusing my brother, and YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!"
"What are you going to do, fool?" Mr. T said.
"Call the police?"
Then, two police cars arrived behind Eddy.
"Yes." Eddy said.
Two policemen walked to Eddy.
"Are these the ally thugs that tried to kill your brother?" Policemen #1 asked.
"Yes...yes they are." Eddy replied.
"Prove it!" Tito said.
"I will!" Eddy said.
Eddy was holding a yellow necklace.
"This is my brother's yellow necklace. It's covered in blood. It even has my brother's name on it."
The policemen looked at the back of the necklace. It says NICK.
Eddy was also holding a tape recorder.
"Listen to this." Eddy said.
The policemen turned on the tape recorder, and they heard Nick screaming, the ally thugs laughing, the crash of the mirror glass, and Nick collapsing on the floor.
The policemen glared at the ally thugs.
Policemen number one was holding handcuffs, and they handcuffed the ally thugs.
"You'll pay for this! YOU'LL PAY!" Pierce said.
"Shut the fuck up, and tell it to the judge, PIE!" Eddy said, slamming the police door.
The police cars drove away.
Eddy was relieved, and he walked to the hospital.
END OF FLASHBACK
"I couldn't let you suffer like that, so I turned the ally thugs in. They will be in jail for a long time, don't worry."
Nick smiled, and so did Eddy.
RRRRRRRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
Eddy turned off his alarm clock.
Today was November 19th.
Eddy's birthday.
The big 1-5.
Excited, he got out of bed, and screamed, "YES!"
Eddy went downstairs for breakfast.
His mom was in the kitchen, making Eddy a special breakfast.
Eddy's mom went up to Eddy and said, "Happy birthday, Eddy."
Mom gave Eddy a hug.
"I made your favorite breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes, with sausages, eggs, and grape juice."
"Thanks, Mom." Eddy said.
"What do you want for your birthday?" Mom asked.
"A laptop, and a 63 inch big screen TV?"
"Except that." Mom said.
"Aw c'mon, mom! I'm 15! I'm old enough for a big screen TV in my own room!"
"Not quite. Wait until you're older."
Eddy left his house without finishing his breakfast.
He saw Dea in front of his house once he stepped outside.
"Hey." Eddy said.
"Hey." Dea said.
They got closer, and closer…then, they kissed.
"You want to go see your brother in the hospital?" Dea asked.
"Sure." Eddy said.
Eddy and Dea got in the car. Dea was driving it of course.
Dea and Eddy arrived at the hospital.
They stepped inside the room where Nick is.
It was very dark.
Then, Dea turned on the light, and said, "SURPRISE!"
Eddy jumped up.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EDDY!" Everyone said.
"Thanks, guys." Eddy said.
Marty got something out of her purse.
It was a birthday cake.
It was white, and in green icing, it says, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EDDY.
They also had ice cream to go with the cake.
"Don't worry, Eddy." Dea said.
"I made it myself. It's sugar free."
Eddy calmed down and ate the cake.
Dea gave Eddy a present.
"Open it." Dea said.
Eddy opened the present.
He was holding a laptop in his hand.
"A laptop?"
"Yes, it's a laptop." Dea said.
Eddy smiled.
"Thanks." Eddy said.
"No problem." Dea said.
It was 10:00 or 11:00PM.
Everyone was staying with Nick at the hospital.
They were watching Nick at Nite.
It was 12:00AM and Dea turned off the TV.
It was time for bed.
Everyone had to sleep on the couch.
It was very uncomfortable.
Everyone woke up at 8:00AM.
Dea walked out of the room to get some coffee.
When Dea walked back in the room, drinking coffee, Eddy was in her way.
"Eddy, can you move please?" Dea asked, laughing.
"Dea, can you meet be by the creek at 5:00PM.?"
"Okay, sure." Dea said.
After Eddy asked Dea that question, he started to sweat.
I'm not sure that I'm ready for this. He thought.
Please R&R!
