Not the One [Billie Joe Armstrong Fanfic]

39) Plot Twist

"But..." The doctor said, trying to finish his sentence.

I slammed my fist against the wall.
"No! No!" I cried hyterically. "Why?!"

The doctor hung his head.

My knees buckled and I landed on the floor. I buried my face in my hands.

Seconds later, a nurse slammed the door open. "Doctor! We need you right here, now!"

I raised my head and saw the doctor rushing to the ER.
Wha--
What's happening?
What's going on?

I immediately stood up and ran to the room.

"No, Billie! Wait!" Mike said as he grabbed my arm.
I shook it away.

I got to know if she's alive...

***

I pushed the double doors wide open with both hands.

Everyone looked at me....

"Sir," one woman said, pushing me away. "You can't be here."

"No!" I fought back. "I wanna-"

Two guys grabbed me on each arm and tried to drag me out of the room.

Despite of hearing all the machines beeping, instruments clicking, doctors murmuring......

I heard a faint sound.
"Billie?"

My eyes widened with surprise.
"Aliyah?"

But it's too late. The guys already got me out of the room.

***

I saw Mike and Tre running up to me.
"Are you out of your mind?" Tre said frantically.

"Maybe...." I managed a little smile.

"What happened in there?" Mike asked.

I felt the blood rush through my veins with excitement.
"Aliyah's still alive..."

Both of them were befuddled.

"But..." Tre said. "How could that happen?"

"I don't know," I honestly answered. "We'll get to know later on."
