Chapter Twelve: It Was All A Dream?
My arm and my head ached, and I heard a song playing distantly somewhere.
Here I lie
I'm staring at
Clouds in shapes of
Dogs and cats
I hear a woman
Start to yell
Oh dear God I
Think he fell
It sounded familiar and confusing all at once. It was like the song was telling my story of what had happened just a few hours ago. My eyes stay shut as the song flows through me.
I'm the arrow
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down
I saw a white light, and I felt hot tears fall from my closed eyes. What was happening? Where was I? Was Summer okay? Where were Zack and Freddy? My heart began to race and I screamed. I felt a sharp pain in my arm, and I fell back into my dream again...still hearing the same sad song.
A priest is rushing
To my side
Begins to read me
My Last Rights
Father you're too late
My Faith is weak
So won't you save your
half-hearted speech
I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down
"Katie, Katie, Wake up...please...don't leave us please!" I heard Freddy say as he grabbed my cold hand.
"Freddy..." I moaned.
A man bends down and says, "Son
we're going to get through this one
take my hand and let us pray."
I scream, "Please get the fuck away."
I'm the arrow
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down
"Doc, is she gonna make it?" I heard Zack ask, as if he were choking tears away.
"I usually don't make house-calls, but yes, she had a major blow to the head. You two young men are heroes for saving these girls." I heard a man, I guess it was the doctor, say.
I didn't get it. Where was Ryan, Brendon, Joe, and Pete? How come they weren't being praised for helping us? What was going on? I screamed again and it felt like my lungs were going to explode out of my body. I am so confused, but Freddy brushed the stray hair from my eyes.
The ambulance is singing
As cops push back the crowd
I start to take my last breath
As blood pours out my mouth
The medics walk in my way
I think this could be it
I hear them start to state,
"The time of death is half past six."
I'm the arrow
Shot straight to hell
I'm the arrow
Shot straight to hell
"Thanks, Doc." Freddy said. "We'll take care of the girls from here."
"Good job, boys. And to believe you did it all by yourselves." The doctor said.
I made a weird sound...a mix of a yell and a sigh. I touched my forehead, and there was a bandage. I touched my right arm, I fingered the bandage that went from my wrist all the way to my elbow. Then I felt Freddy's hand upon mine. I tried to force my eyes open, and when they finally did, I gasped...loudly.
"Oh God, she's awake!" Freddy said, kissing my cheek lightly.
"Where are they?" I yelled.
"Where's who, Katez?" Zack asked, walking away from Summer.
"Pete. Pete, Joe, Ryan, and Brendon. They helped us defeat Andrew and they saved Summer! Where are they?" I asked.
Freddy looked at me strangely. Was that a dream? Or was he going to say that they left early? What was going on?
"They were never here, Katie. Andrew knocked you out while jumping through your broken window this morning. Zack found out where Summer was and saved her from Andrew, too. You were out cold for the whole day." Freddy replied. "Those guys were never here. But Andrew is in jail."
"What? I dreamt all of that?" I asked.
"Yeah." Zack added.
"How's Summer?" I asked, worried.
"She's sleeping. She finally got to sleep after I saved her." Zack said, I could feel that he felt proud of himself.
Then I noticed something. The box of our demo tapes were missing.
"Freddy, where are our demos?" I asked, trying to get up. Forget that! My head was pounding so hard I had to lay back down.
"We sent them to Decaydance. Like you told us to do!" Zack said.
"Even the new one...With ME singing on it?" I asked.
"Yeah, it was awesome. We loved that song you added as the hidden track." Freddy smiled, brushing my bangs yet again from my eyes.
"Thanks. I mixed it myself and everything." I felt my face blush, sort of.
"How'd I get all cut up?" I asked.
"Well, Andrew had a knife. When he knocked you out, he cut your forehead and a deep long line from your wrist to your elbow. He wanted to kill you. If I hadn't forgotten my drumsticks in your room, you would've been dead." Freddy said, in tears.
"Babe, I love you." I felt tears come unto my eyes.
"I love you too. I always have." He said, crying also.
If my life were being filmed, it'd be the most watched movie on Lifetime. I swear! Summer stirred, then walked over to me.
"I'm so glad we're BOTH okay! Now we can ROCK!" Summer exclaimed, giving me a hug.
"Relax now, rock later! Wow, I never thought I'd say something like that!" I laughed.
"You guys rock. All three of you. Did you call my mom and dad about everything that happened?"
"No, but the police did." Zack replied.
"Are they...angry?" I asked nervously.
"Not in the least bit with you. Your father wants to beat the shit out of Andrew, and your mom started crying. Kathy doesn't know anything else, because she's living in New York now." Zack said.
"New York? Why?" I asked again.
"One word: Broadway." Summer said, giggling.
"How are we going to do the play with the girls all..broken?" Freddy asked.
"Don't worry about it! Practice doesn't start for another week, and I know that our cuts and bruises will be scabs and purple and black polka dots!" Summer replied.
"Good metaphor, Sherlock!" Zack said, laughing.
"Ugh, tomorrow is...School. I don't wanna go." I moaned.
"None of us do. It's been a huge weekend." Freddy implied.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Almost nine." Summer said. "I'm spending the night here, if you don't mind!"
"Not at all..but I'm really tired." I said into my pillow.
"Well, we'll be going then, and we'll pick you guys up tomorrow. We'll be walking." Freddy said.
"Bye!" Summer and I exclaimed to the guys.
"Adios!" Freddy and Zack said, and we laughed.
I turned on the TV, and South Park was on. I needed some sort of laughter. Pretty soon, I was asleep again, but little did I know...Summer was up..barfing her guts out.
