Downtown Darkness

Truth or Lies.

I laid there in silence, not moving or making a sound. Then I got up and carried my water drip machine with me and I walked out of my room. I struggled but I had to see Joey. Many patients passed me and said "are you supposed to be up?" I walked on paying no attention to them what so ever. Then I see him. He's over there, I walk over, but I'm stopped by a nurse. "Why are you out of your bed? You should be resting. Common I'll take you back." I barge pass. My legs fail me, they buckle and I fall to the ground. "Ahh!" All I see is someone sitting over me. Then, I see complete black.

I'm in my room. And my eyes open really slow. I lose all sense in my ears and fall back into a deep sleep.

Two weeks later I find myself in the same room, and same people. I wake up. My mum is sat down next to me holding my hand. "Hi honey! I'll go fetch the nurse. Karan's getting a hot chocolate she'll be here any minute. Stay here ok?" I feel as if my lips are glued together not allowing me to move the at all. So I just nod.

My mum returns with the nurse and she does some tests on me. She asks if I can hear, speak, smell, I reply "yes."
For every single question. Joey walks in and my face lightens up.
"Maria, where's the tape?" I thought he was coming in to see me. My mum stopped him before he found it, "it's on the floor. You look a lot like my son that went missing. Umm carry on." She passed him the tape and he said to her "thank you, and he was called Joey, much like my name, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Cassie, your daughter said. I grew up with a dad, well not really he left me when I was fifteen, I don't care about him any more though."
"Well," my mum could see the way he started at me, "I'll let you and Cassie talk and catch up when ever you want. I'm going to go get a coffee, bye." He walked out after finding the tape "I'll be back in a minute, ok?"
"Sure, ok."
He walked out the room and a man was waiting there for him. Ever so silent. He had a huge smile on his face. Then he said "Hi,"
Then the man replied "Hi,"

Awe maybe he said he's not got a girlfriend because he has a boyfriend. Still isn't he a bit too old for Joey?

Then Joey said "So where are we going out for tea Dad?"
"I was think we could go to Pizzeria."
His face lightened up and I thought he does have a dad! He's lying to us! Something strange is going on here.
A few paces down the corridor a lady was there. Possibly his mum?
