Chapter 7:
This bed has become my chapel of stone…
A garden of darkness to where I’m thrown…
So take my life, I don’t need it anymore.
-The Rasmus
Joel’s Pov
“Hello?” I ask sleepily, the phone waking me up.
“Can I please speak to Mr. Madden?” The voice on the other end is female.
“Joel or Benji?”
“Joel.”
“This is he.”
“Hello Mr. Madden, this a nurse in the emergency room at Mercy Hospital. We’re treating your brother for injuries.”
‘Oh God…’ I think numbly as the words finally penetrate the fog of sleep.
“Wh…what happened?”
“There was an accident.”
“Is it…bad?” My voice cracks as I ask.
“I’m not sure.” The phone falls from suddenly nerveless fingers.
“HELLO?” The tiny voice is barely heard as I hang up the phone.
Getting up, I throw on the clothes that I’d taken off barely and hour ago. Opening my door, I run across the hall and go into Billy’s room. Shaking him, I wait for him to open his eyes.
“Joel?” Sleep and confusion is laced within his voice.
“Get dressed.” I throw his clothes from earlier at him.
“Why?” His voice is muffled as he pulls his shirt over his head.
“We’ve gotta go…I’ll explain everything on the way.” I’m already walking out of his room before I finish the sentence.
I was still on the phone with the others by the time Billy comes down the stairs.
“…yeah, just get there as soon as you can.” I hang up and after grabbing the keys, lead Billy to my car. I wait until he’s in and we’re on our way before I tell him.
“Joel, what’s wrong?”
“It’s Benji…”
“What happened?” The look in his eyes is full of fear.
“He was involved in an accident.” I watch as the shock passes through him. It scares me when he turns deathly pale.
“Billy? You okay?”
“No…oh Gods Joel, this is all my fault.”
“What?!” I ask, looking at him from the corner of my eye.
“I shouldn’t have let him leave.” He turns to look at me.
“What do you mean?”
“I knew he was pissed…I knew he was going to do something.” His gaze turns to the passing scenery and the rest of the ride is made in silence.
After pulling into a parking space, I grab his arm preventing him from getting out.
“You know its not your fault right?” I watch as he starts to cry. I quickly pull him into a hug.
“Gods Joel, I don’t know what to do.”
“About what?” The look in his eyes is serious.
“Now is not the time.” He gets out of the car then and heads up to the hospital doors.
*~~***~~*
And although my hands are shaking…
I lie perfectly still…
Cause I’m determined to let myself sink down.
-Story of the Year
Billy’s Pov
Joel and I sit in those horrible plastic chairs in the waiting room, both of us praying for Benji’s well being. But waiting for word on his condition is slowly killing me. Paul and Chris got to the hospital a little after six. The two sit with us but soon get bored and go exploring. Joel looks over at me as soon as they’re gone.
“I know you want to know what I’d meant when I said that I didn’t know what to do.” He nods, not saying anything, waiting for me to continue. I sigh, pushing my bangs behind my ear.
“I don’t know how to say this…but Benji ran out on me when I’d pulled away from him. I know it was a mistake to pull away, I was enjoying it as much as he was….I really do have feelings for him. I am ready for a relationship with him. I was just torn apart by memories of what had happened in my last relationship.” Joel smiles at me with I get done.
“You’ve got to tell him that.”
“What if I don’t get the chance?”
“Have faith Billiam, have faith.” We both look up when we hear footsteps headed in our direction.
“Are you boys here for Benjamin Madden?”
“Yes sir.” We both stand up. He shakes each of our hands.
“I’m Dr. John Smalls. I’m in charge of Benjamin’s care.”
“I’m his brother Joel and this is Billy.”
“Hello. I’m sorry that its taken so long but with his injuries we had to be sure he was stable enough before we moved him.”
“What room is he in?” I ask.
“Room 345, but he’s been medicated into a deep sleep to spare him the pain from his injuries. He probably won’t respond if you visit him.” Dr. Smalls walks away as the other two walk up.
“What was that all about?” Paul asks.
“Just telling us that Benj was moved to a room. And that he was basically in a drug induced coma.” I reply. Joel looks at me but when he sees the look on my face he catches on.
“Why don’t you guys go home? We’ll keep you informed.” They turn and nod in agreement.
“Okay then, we’ll see ya’ll later.” Paul says. He and Chris walk away slowly. We both know that they were bored. I wait until they’ve left before speaking.
“If it’s okay with you, I’d like to stay with him.”
“That’s fine.”
“You don’t mind?”
“Naw…it’s all good. Call me if anything changes.”
“Thanks Joel.” I smile at him and he turns, waving over his shoulder as he leaves.
Shrugging, I head for the elevator. I’m happy when the doors open and reveal it to be empty. Stepping inside, I press the little number three and watch the button glow. I make the trip in silence, thoughts of Benji my only companions.
When the doors open, I step into the pale pink and brown corridor. Walking down the hall, I spot room number 345. Opening the door, I go in.
Even in the middle of the day the room is dark, accentuated by little blinking lights on the machines that he’s hooked up to. His face is made paler in contrast to the pillow. The angry looking cut above his eye has been stitched shut. Shaking my head, I pick up his chart and start to read it.
‘Way to go Benj, two cracked ribs and multiple lacerations. Dude, you are so gonna be sore when you come down from your medicated high.’ I put the chart back where I found it.
“Please come back to me.” His eyes flutter under the lids but don’t open. I sigh, pulling a chair to his bedside. Trying to get comfortable so I can watch over him, I end up sitting cross-legged in the chair.
*~~***~~*
The stars will cry…
The blackest tears tonight…
This is the moment that I live for…
I can smell the ocean air.
-Story of the Year
Benji’s Pov
I wake up suddenly, confused as to where I was. My mind is still fuzzy and the room is spinning. I turn my head, winching as I do so. I see Billy sitting in a chair next to me, his head resting on his knuckles, reading one of our favorite guitar magazines. He looks up when he hears me shift. He gets up and sits on the bed.
“Hey.”
“Hey yourself.” My voice is cracking and breaking from disuse.
“How do you feel?” He asks while giving me a sip of water.
“Like I ran into a tree.” He smiles lightly and I find my heart skipping a beat, grinning like a fool back. I’m still smiling as he bends over and our lips connect.
His lips are soft, strawberry flavored. I run my tongue over his bottom lip and his lips part, allowing me access to that sweet mouth. He pulls my bottom lip into his mouth and, before sucking on it, nibbles at the piercings that adorn it. We pull apart slowly, our lips lingering together for a few moments more.
“What was that for?”
“I had some time to do a little soul searching.”
“And?”
“And I found that I couldn’t live in a world without you.”
“Meaning?” I was going to get him to say it.
“I need you.” He leans in again and gently presses his lips to mine.

Maybe redemption is stories to tell…
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell…
Where can you run to escape from yourself…
Where you gonna go…
Where you gonna go…
Salvation is here.

Billy’s Pov
“Ooooh…I’m telling…Joel make it go away!” I pull away from Benji quickly ending up in his lap anyway. He doesn’t even try to move me when Paul finishes walking into the room. He’s followed by Joel and Chris. They all find various places to either lean on or sit upon.
“Hey bro, how ya fellin’?”
“Like I ran into a fuckin’ tree.” Benji replies, getting all of us in the room to laugh.
“What is all this about?” Dr. Smalls walks into the room, looking at Joel and Paul sitting on the widow seat, to Chris leaning against the wall, to me sitting on Benji. He looked closer and saw that Benji’s hand was sitting on my thight. He clears his throat and I move to get off Benji but he holds me in place.
“Are you ready to go home?”
“That would be nice.”
“Good then. I’ll go and get your paperwork started. A nurse will be with you to get a signature.” He turns and walks out of the room.
“Hey Billy, walk us out.” The three walk out and I move to follow, but Benji won’t let me go.
“Its okay Benj, I’ll be right back.” I get up when he finally lets go and follow the others out into the hall.
“I brought your car, the boys and I have a few things to do before Benji comes home.” Joel says all of this while handing me my keys. He puts his head back into the room.
“Later Benjahole. See you when you get home.” He shuts the door and the three of them leave before I even get a chance to say anything. Shrugging, I turn around and go back into the room, shutting the door quietly behind me. When I turn around, I see that he’s already gotten his bondage pants on and was in the process of pulling on his shirt. He still has his back to me and I realize that he doesn’t know that I’d come back in. The smile that lights my face is wicked.
