When The Lights Go Down

Hospital

Bailey's Inner Monologue

Dear God, Me again...if you could make my headache go away right now that would be super fantastic, I know that seems like such a piddly request when you have so much to deal with but it hurts really bad so please take it into consideration...OH and feel free to simply project the headache onto Jake and or smite him down as well...Amen.

*B sits, her head in her hands waiting to hear back from the doctor, Nick is by her side*

(Bailey) WHY wont they give me something for this headache

(Nick) they need to see what is wrong first 

(Bailey) what is wrong is I have a headache and if someone doesn't give me something for it I am going to get violent

(Nick) some medicine could make things worse just try to be patient

(Bailey) I feel sick...

*Nick walks over and grabs plastic bucket and hands it to B, she lays the bucket on her lap just in case while trying to tilt her head in any way to alleviate the pounding*

(Nick) Do you remember what happened?

(Bailey) ugh...YES...my brain is fine...I remember every horrible detail *B grabs the bucket and empties her stomach, Nick hops up and wets a washcloth and comes back, takes the bucket and sits it on the floor *

(Nick) Scoot...

*B scoots over in the bed and Nick crawls in behind her and leans against the headboard*

(Nick) come here.....

*B scoots back and lays on her side her head on Nicks chest and Nick wipes her face and neck down with the cold cloth*

(Nick) just chill out...you are getting too worked up

(Bailey) sing me something 

(Nick) *smiles* I've got sunshine....on a cloudy day....

*B smiles and relaxes as Nick sings her the familiar melody until she feels the bed shift under a new weight*

(Joe) Hey Monkey, how are you feeling?

(Bailey) my head hurts and the devil doctor wont give me medicine

(Joe) why not?

(Nick) Doctor said he needed to check her scan first to see if she had a concussion...certain medicines can cause more problems 

(Joe) ohh ok...well as soon as they get your results we will get you some medicine ok?

(Bailey) you look like crap *bringing a finger to Joes busted lip*

(Joe) what this? *pointing to his lip* that's nothin...battle scar *smiling puffing out his chest in victory* *B giggles*

(Joe) He wont be messing with you again.... We made sure of that

(Bailey) is he in jail?

(Joe) uh, doubtful, I'm fairly certain he is here seeing as how he didn't regain consciousness...at least while I was there....but when he does...he is going to jail

(Bailey) oh my Gosh...Mom is gunna kick your butts

*Nick chuckles* 

(Bailey) you laugh....I'm fairly certain she will amend her "Violence is never the answer" to..."beating someone into a coma...is never the answer" ....where is Sam?

(Joe) he gave his statement after me, Kevin and I left right after I was done...I'm sure he will be here soon.

*Mom and Dad rush in, Mom looking frantic and on the verge of tears*
