I'll do anything for you

Tony's P.O.V.

I was waiting in my room for Mike to come back. I hope I can go home. The nurses came in a few times to check on me & see how I was doing, there was some small talk here & there, but I wasn't interested. I looked at the monitor & listened to my heart rate, the beats were a little fast, that's only because I was so impatient. I just want to go home, dammit. I want to spend every minute I can with Mike. I don't want him to change his mind.

I closed my eyes, relaxed & took a deep breath. I need to calm down & stop focusing on all the bad possibilities. I drifted off & began dreaming. Then I hear Mike.

"Tone, my dad talked to the doctor & he said you can go home today!" Mike yelled. I woke up instantly & Mike kissed me. I put my hands around his neck, so I could deepen the kiss. Mike & I have to make this the best three days ever. After that, we won't be seeing my mom, Vincent, or Victor, anymore. This is goodbye...

"Mike, we have to spend as much time with them as we can." I spoke.

"Yea, I know...do you even know where we'll be staying?" Mike asked.

"A hotel, maybe?"

"Too expensive." Mike said.

"Uh....motel? I have some money saved in my bank account." I said.

"Bank account?"

"Yea, my mom opened on up for me a while ago, I haven't taken any money out of it since I got it. I've only put money in." I replied.

"Alright then, but how much do you think you have?"

"I don't know, my mom started me off with $650 in there, & I've had it for a year or two, And I put $50 in there every month. So, I think we'll have enough." I answered. I've never been so thankful for having a bank account.

"I don't have a bank account, but I could see how much money I have inside my pillow." Mike replied.

"You put your money in your pillow?" I asked, laughing a bit.

"Yea, it's the only place I know anyone wouldn't try to steal it. I've been saving since last year so I could buy a drum set....but we need it right now."

"Aw, Mike. Keep your money, we can use mine, I seriously don't mind. I'm not saving for anything, the money's been useless up until now." I replied.

"No, Tony, I don't want you to just spend all your money-"

"I'm not taking your money, Mike. It's yours. We have enough with mine." I responded.

"But-"

"Mike. No." I said.

Mike nodded & kissed my cheek.

"We can't stay in a motel forever, Tone-bone. What are we gonna do after?" Mike asked, worried. I sighed.

"I can look for a job now & that way, we'll have more money before we leave. I'm sure we can find a nice place for a good price." I said back. I wan't too confident about what I just said, but I want to make this work. I don't want to let Mike down.

"O-okay. I can look for a job too. It's gonna be kind of hard to find one that allows tattoos & piercing though..." Mike said. Shit. I forgot about that. Mike & I have tattoos everywhere. I have gauges, & a dermal. He has his Medusa & lip pierced. I'm sure they'll be some places that allow it though.

"Don't worry about that right now, we still have some time. We'll figure it out, okay?"

"I love you, Tony...this is going to be really hard though..."

"I know....just....just trust me?" I asked.

"I trust you, babe. This will be better for us anyway." Mike said.


This was really starting to worry me....I didn't think this through all the way...we need transportation too. Fuck. We can't just steal Victor's car or mom's. Dammit. I was lost in thought, & looks like Mike was too. We both jumped up a little when we heard the door slam shut.

"Mike....who closed the door?" I asked.

"I didn't see anyone..."

"Mike, what if someone was watching us? What if they heard everything?"

"Tony...calm down. Let's not panic...maybe a nurse came by, saw the door opened & closed it."

"Can you go check...just to make sure?" I asked.

"Yea." Mike got up & opened the door, he looked side to side, then closed the door & walked back over to me.

"I didn't see anyone we know, close." Mike spoke. I just really hope no one was watching. I hope Mike's theory is right.

Notes

Here's the chapter c: they'll be home in the next one.

Who do you think was watching? or do you think Mike's theory was right?
