A PIE Tale

A small Hospital Visit

I had a lot of whiskey. Maybe a few bottles. It's like 2 o'clock in the morning. I'm drunk, anyone could see that. But I'm used to it so I know it's time for bed, I head up the stairs.
It's weird cause as I walk up the stairs Marisbel is in front of me. I smile at her but she tilts her head looking at me. "You've been up this entire time? Ohhh your drunk." She says nodding. "Well what are you doing up?" I ask enthusiastic.
She looks down and says," I ummm.... Got a call from, a friend?" She says a little unsure. "They need help Urgently! So I need to go!" She says quickly walking past me. That's when I notice the jacket in her hand and that's she dressed.
I shrug it off and head upstairs. When I open the door to my room, I walk over to the window. I look though my curtain to see Marisbel jogging down the street. What was she doing? Was there something more to her than it seems? I mean we really don't know why she has powers either.
Or how her last name ended up in Timothy Casket's files. I get into my sleep wear and drift to sleep. I wake up to see sunlight coming through the curtains. It's seemed not to be to late.
I sit up in my bed when I hear footsteps out of my door. The door swings open and Marisbel yells," Get up or I'm going to the hospital without you!!" She quickly shuts the door the same time I stand up.
I checked my watch, it was 12. The same time visiter hours started. I walk over to my draws and get into the new Jacket I got for Christmas and some pants. I put on my boots and walk down the stairs.
Marisbel is eating cereal and I walk over to the counter and make myself some tea. I don't have that big of an appetite. "Ghost shouldn't be to bad, Jess will be worse," she says to me. I take a sip from my tea and nod. "So what was wrong with your friend last night?" I ask.
Her face flushed out and she said," Oh Right! There car.... Broke down! And they needed my help to help them fix it!" She says makes a fake smile. I try not to sound like I know she's lying," You know how to fix cars?" I ask. She nods and says," Yeah, I actually do." I can tell that wasn't a lie.
"So are we taking the van?" I ask. She shakes her head. "The van isn't enough for all of us. I'll take Jess's motorcycle," she says. "Jess has a motorcycle?" I ask finishing my tea. "Yeah, she picked it up and it's in our drive way." She says pointing behind her.
I nod as she puts her bowl away. I walk towards the grave and open the door. I hop in the van and back out onto the drive way. Marisbel walks out holding a helmet, she places it on her head and hops on the bike.
I pull out and start heading to the hospital. I look out my window to see Marisbel is driving the bike. The hospital isn't that far. I pull in and hop out of the van. Marisbel pulls up and parks as well.
"I'll go to the counter, you can wait." She says nodding her head towards the waiting room. I nod and sit down as Marisbel goes to talk to the lady at the counter.
She walks over to me soon after that and says," Come on." I stand up and follow her to a door. She cracks it open and we walk inside. Jess is in one of the beds. She has bandages all over her and a cast on her left leg. Ghost is next to her but is sitting up.
They look at us and smile. "Hey," Marisbel says walking over towards Jess. "Hey!" Jess replies moving over so Marisbel can sit next to her. Ghost smiles and asks," Were you drunk?" I nod and says," I may have had some whiskey Sir." He laughs and says," But of course Johnny."
I laugh and Marisbel asks," So what we miss?" Ghost answers," Jess needs crutches and a few stitches. I just needed a few bandages but they wanted me to stay over night just in case." Marisbel nods.
"We are here to escort you out," Marisbel says bowing. Jess laughs and says," I can't leave yet... They say I need to stay here until I have my crutches. Or I'll need a wheel chair." She says.
"Oh then I'll stay with you," Marisbel says. "No that okay! I will," Ghost says very fast. Marisbel puts her arms up in surrender. "How long until the crutches?" She ask. "Until they find one that's right," I answer. Johnny had needed them a few times.
"Okay... Well I'm getting something to eat." He says jumping up and walking out the door.
