Part XIII- "Little Lies"

 Amadea wakes up in the hospital room in severe pain, looking for Beata. She took off hospital devices and tried to get up, making painful grimaces all the time. The nurse entered the room.

  Nurse (runs up to her): "No, you can't go anywhere! Do you see what condition you are in, where are you going? "Amadea: "Where is Beata? What is her condition? " Nurse: "She had internal bleeding and severe liver damage, so she had to have surgery. The surgeons barely healed her injury, they will bring her here later when she wakes up. The police will also have to take statements from you, the other patient's brother insisted to sue them."Amadea (nodding her head):" You can take a statement from me immediately ... (grabs her head in sudden pain) The freaken hell, how they hit me on the head! " Nurse (brings her to bed): "There is a danger for you that your tumor will suddenly increase, although there are also problems with your heart. We also found damage to your lungs, and Miss Beata has damage from punches to her kidneys and spleen. Bruises and places with minor damage not to mention, you were lucky enough there was a man who called an ambulance because you would both pass quickly. Don't strain, we've barely got your heart back to normal, you have a weaker heart due to a lack of blood because the heart works faster to pump more blood."Amadea:" I know about it. (exhale) If something happens to Beata I won't even need that heart, I'll rip it out along with all the arteries. " Nurse: "Don't say that, it will be fine. (they bring Beata) Here she is. "Amadea (quietly in great pain): "Bea, are you all right? " Beata (smiles): "Now that I see that you are really alive, I am. They told me you were, but I don't believe it until I'm convinced. (they put her to bed) Damn it, bro, this hurts. Are you in pain too?" Amadea:" Yes. I've been hit more in the area of ​​my lungs and head. You got more hurt on stomach and back. " Beata (worried): "They hit you in the head?! (to the doctor) Doctor, did they make the brain damage worse?!" Amadea: "No, calm down ..." Doctor:" There is a possibility that the tumor will suddenly increase, we will follow the changes ..." Beata (shocked): "What tumor?! You have a tumor, Ami? You know from a week ago, don't you?" Amadea (gulped): "Now is not the time to discuss it, your situation is difficult ... We will talk when you feel better." Beata (inhale and exhale): "And when you thought to tell me, when it gets so bad that you can no longer hide?" Doctor (to both): "Don't strain now, you were both close to death and we barely brought you back to life. We will leave you to rest, later we can let the visitors see you. (leaving)"

 Beata (looks at Amadea): "Why did you lie to me? You know there wasn't a need for that, I'd stay with you no matter what." Amadea (looks at her): "Since you've already found out then I'm not going to lie to you about the whole situation; at first I didn't want to worry you because I've had this nonsense in my brain for a long time and I guess it could have been a while without any major problems. Second, I don't want to have surgery, there's no specific medicine that can heal tumors so I can take that." Beata (exhale): "There was no need to keep it from me. It's true that I would try to convince you of surgery or some form of treatment, but still..." Amadea (shy, on the verge of tears): "Sorry, Bea. I'll understand if you're mad at me, I deserve it. I'll understand if you don't want to see me anymore, I know you despise lies, honestly, I've despised myself since the day I lied to you. It would be better if these fools killed me, I deserved it. I'm sorry, I'm going to shut up." Beata: "I'm not angry, I just don't want to lose you. I'm worried about you. If I didn't have these devices all over my body I'd come to you and give you a hug. Please don't keep things like that from me anymore, okay?" Amadea (nods): "Okay. I'm sorry to put you in awkward situations." Beata: "It's not your fault, especially not this right now. Just to get out of here, I'm going to break their bones, to all five of them." Amadea: "Don't strain. You've had surgery, you need to rest." Beata: "Since your heart stopped at one point I can say the same about you. Let's rest together, you for me and me for you. (smiles) It hurts like hell, but I'll try to take a nap." Amadea (set on a pillow with a painful grimace): "Agree. Anything else can wait a while."

 At the end of the day, they had band members and Michelle come to them. Michelle (from the door): "Oh, my God, what have those savages done to you? What man punches a girl, plus five men on two girls- unbelievable!" Amadea (quietly because of the pain): "They wanted to do something else, but we wouldn't let them, so they beat us up." Beata: "Honestly, I'd rather choose this than what they wanted first. If there were two of them we'd beat them, but there were more." Tyrone (to Amadea): "Should we inform your parents to come? No one told them." Amadea: "No, not at all... I'd better not drag them into this, they'd ask me to come home." Leonel: "Do you remember what these maniacs looked like? Maybe one of us knows them, we'll show them what it's like to have a fight with our friends." Beata: "Leave it for now, we'll sue them all,  now we'll take the time to recover, want it or not. They've really messed us up." Brody: "Sure, there'll be time for everything, recover completely. We've been told by the doctors what injuries you've sustained, I can't believe what happened. I don't understand why they attacked you so hard."
Amadea: "Because one of them recognized us and said we were in a relationship, the other one came to touch me and I hit him with my fist, then he hit me. Bea knocked him out for it, and then the fight started... At least there was a fight in the beginning, when we could defend ourselves. Then they were the only ones hitting us while we were lying on the ground." Brody: "You were attacked because of your orientation?! Man..." Tyrone (to Brody): "You see it's better to arrest them, they can attack Brannen and you or someone else." Amadea (numb): "If I hadn't hit that bastard they might not have beaten Beata. I'm kind of guilty." Beata: "Ami, don't blame yourself, he attacked you first. I'd knock out anyone who'd touch you. (to Michelle) She keeps thinking it's her fault, I can't explain to her that it's not true." Michelle (to Amadea): "You may not notice but, if we exempt this situation, Beata seems considerably happier and smiles again. That's why I didn't say anything about your relationship, you made her more satisfied and gave her the energy to be herself again, maybe even better than before, while before that she was kind of cranky, I don't know how to describe it." Beata (looks at him grumpily): "Uh, how you described me... I wasn't at my best, now I've even reduced alcohol use and I haven't smoked a cigarette in at least four months." Michelle: "There you go. She never wanted to give up that because of me." Leonel: "Michelle, bro, you're not much of an example. (laughs)" Michelle (frowns): "I wanted to be an example how not to be. Anyway, I don't know if Beata mentioned it to you, but she had this hard time when she was really over-drinking, and one night she just broke and... (Beata shows him with her eyes not to continue the story)... and she overdosed on pills. She went to see a psychologist afterwards, her friend Fernanda and I were by her side but with you she looks really better, she's really happy again. I see you are also happy with her, it would be a shame to separate you." Amadea (looks at Beata): "You didn't tell me you tried to kill yourself too." Beata: "I'll tell you about it. You didn't tell me about your brain tumor either, so let's call it even. We're not going to hide anything from each other anymore. (smiles)" Leonel: "You have a brain tumor?" Amadea (moves arm): "It's the least important thing now. I'm more worried about returning my voice to normal, it hurts to breathe." Tyrone: "Don't bother talking, maybe it makes it harder for you. Don't lose your voice." Brody (to Beata): "Did they fix your liver?" Beata: "Yes, but it's still risky if I have more effort. It's going to be the hella boring to just lie here like this, I can't wait us to rock again." Michelle: "First recover, then we'll go to concerts and wherever you want. (holds back the tears) Just to get through this." Beata (nods): "It's going to be okay."

The nurse said the visit was over, so the boys said goodbye and got out, while the girls soon felt asleep under the influence of painkillers and sedatives.
