Chapter Thirteen
Good Night

By Wren

Cornelius closed the door to his hotel room, kicked off his shoes, and lay down in bed. He punched the pillow and shut off the light.

Jesus-Mary-n-Joseph! Me an' Brill go to visit her, an' he's there, an' he jumps all over me! Piss me off! I shoulda knocked him into next week! But, it's a hospital, so... Besides, him an' Brill went at it. Gawd, Brill defended me! Too effin' cool! He rolled from his back to his right side and sighed.

Yeah, I've treated her bad; real bad. I mean, I abandoned her! Crazy for this cutie, an' I just, well, like, soon as I meet Brill, I go an' forget her. Like Brill totally distracted me away. What's wrong with me? He rolled onto his stomach.

Christ! I'm the one who shoulda been at her bedside all these weeks, not Schnoz! So, I hate hospitals. So what! A good boyfriend woulda said, "Screw this! I'm with her!" and camped out in her room! I mean, am I gonna lose her to Voz the Schnoz? This is the woman I LOVE, an' she don't even know it!He rolled onto his left side.

I gotta write her a LOVE SONG, an' sing it at the hospital, right to her, and it's gotta wake her up! An' then I gotta make it all up to her. I'm gonna ask her to move in with me, an' I'm gonna dump Laura, Janie, an' Chelsea, an' I'll only see Diane once a week! Geez...maybe me an' Wrenny'll even have a kid! He smiled, rolled onto his back, and closed his eyes.
