Dave watched the nurse tend to Noel, making sure he was warm enough, and breathing. The his eyes flicked to Noel and he studied the beautiful contours of his face, his angular skull fresh out of a Picasso, hanging proudly on a white wash wall of some fancy gallery. His limp arm draped over the duvet like a Salvador Dali clock and his eyes, flickering underneath their lids, like a camera taking 100 frames a second. Stop motion eyeballs.
"Talk to him."
Dave jumped at the nurses voice, and didnt register what she said. "I'm sorry?" He asked.
She smiled and nodded towards Noel. "Talk to him. He can hear you."
"And say what?" Dave frowned.
The nurse giggled. "I dunno, he's your fella."
Dave remembered Lou, Julian and Mike in the room.
Mike didnt seem to do anything. Julian looked at Dave as Dave looked at Lou. She cocked her head in question.
Dave looked back at Noel and sighed. "I got a bad feelin about dis." Said Bollo.
Julian let out a laugh scoff and started crying, he wasnt completely sure why, maybe because he hadn't slept in 3 days, Noel died twice, and Dave was so completely in love with him.
"Y'alright mate?" Dave sighed, holding Noel's hand. "I suppose not eh? Everyones here. Mike's not himself so hurry up and wake up yeah. He's a mute, he wont talk to anyone. Julian's an emotion wreck. Lou's worried about me, I'm worried about you.. And Rich's gone to the toilet... We gotta get the tour going squire."
Noel took a deep breath in through his nose, the first breath he'd taken on his own in 4 days.
Dave smiled proudly and Julian sighed in relief.
"See, he is making progress." The nurse smiled, taking Noel off the ventillator and unhooking tubes from his mouth.
As soon as it was out, it was like a silencer on a gun. As soon as it was out, Noel's eyes snapped open and he was instantly in conversation. "No I cant. We're on tour. We're supposed to be on tour. What time are we going on stage? I'm no where near ready. Act 1 beginners call? Theres a sound check in 5 minutes. I dont do sound checks." Noel sat bold upright and pointed at Julian. "YOU SIR-"
Julian panicked.
"Did you see the gorilla?!"
Julian blinked twice. "I'm sorry wh-"
"DID YOU?!"
"What's wrong with him?" Dave asked.
"I dont rightly know, sir." Julian shook his head, sort of fearing for his life.
Noel stopped pointing. "You hated me! You hated me!" He accused. "Didn't you? Don't you? What's that woman called? Julia isnt it? Wasn't it? Did you or did you not see the gorilla?! When was the last time you saw Daddy, Mr. Julian? When was the last time daddy said 'I love you'?"
Julian stood up. "What the fuck is your problem?"
"Dont rise to it Julian." Dave tried. "He doesnt know what he's doing."
"You, sir." Noel replied. "You are my fucking problem. Paranoid, schitzophrenic Julian!"
"Alright, I dont know if I should be telling you this and I really dont want to but you died. Twice. We have all been shitting ourselves these past few days you've put us through a fucking lot Noel, so back the FUCK up!"
Noel laid back down.
Dave was glaring at him, the corner of his eye picked up Julian walking out.
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
