Sweet Dreams-30...Oh Crap! WTF?

Chapter 30

*Alex…

Fuck things happened so fast…

Hunter and I were just…we were right in the middle of a moment. We hadn’t thought that the girls had came up the stairs. It’s just we’re not used to having company and never even thought.

When Jen overheard and dropped the water bottle….

She looked from me to Hunter to me….then there were these huge tears that just poured out and she took off at a run. I went after her because she might have told, said something…and there was also the fact.

I’ve known Jen for years and she’s a tough often cold girl…a lot of the kids in my life, where and how we’ve grown up are like that. You have to be to survive. You have to have thick skin.

I’ve never seen her look that just…Hurt…before…not even when she found out her parents were getting divorced.

She took the stairs and I took the air jumping down to catch her and…shit…ow. I twinged something doing that but I got her arm and pulled her back and she spun and Jen hauled off and punched me screaming, just hitting me over and over again and losing her shit until I grabbed her other arm and she screamed.

“Let me go!, Let me go!, Let me fucking go!”

“Jen, Jen stop please stop.”

“Stop! You’re gay!, no wonder we broke up Jesus Alex no wonder you didn’t want me!”

“I’m not gay…Me, Hunter it’s complicated…”

“You’re fucking her…him…whatever.”

“We make love yes, but Hunter’s…she’s special…I love her.”

“BUT SHE’S A FUCKING BOY!” She screams and starts struggling again. “You love her, you love her? She’s a boy!, Why? Why the fuck is she so fucking special!? Why do you love her and not me!? Am I that fucking broken!?”

Adam came out or was there at some point and April soon came out and looked worried…no freaked but worried and after her last cried out question Jen’s sobbing and still struggling and she does that girl legs giving out sliding down my car thing and Adam’s looking at me with this stare.

“Alex…you want to tell me what’s really going on here.”

“Dad, not now.”

“Alex…I’m not asking.”

“Dad….”

“No, I need to know what’s going on…what’s been going on under my roof.”

“Dad…”

Then we heard Cindy scream.

“SOMEBODY HELP!”

I let go of Jen and run up the stairs with scared to death images of Hunter doing something stupid like…mom…and I see Cindy on her knees in the kitchen with a cup towel to Hunters face and there’s blood everywhere and she looks at me eyes wide with panic.

“Alex! Alex she…she just started getting this nosebleed and it…won’t stop she…she looked at me and went pale and…”

I’m checking her breathing and she still alive and I hold her and try to stop the bleeding but every time I get the towel away there’s this second of nothing them the blood starts to run again. Not drips or a slow flow but bleeding…really bleeding. I’m trying, the cup towel, paper towels… “C’mon Hunter…please don’t…please baby don’t do this…for the love of god please don’t leave me…”

I’m start to get scared. “HUNTER!” I shout at her trying desperately to get through to her.

“Hunter C’mon wake up! Come on.”

Her head lolls like she’s drunk. “Alex?”

“Yes baby it’s me c’mon.”

“You’re real?”

“Yes I’m real, I’m real and I love you!”

“Here.” Dad’s beside me.

Hunter tries to move wake up. “Adam…”

She blacks out again going limp.

“Alex, get your keys.” Adam…dad…

“Alexander, get your car keys!” he yelled it and he punches me in my arm snapping me out of it.

“I’ve got them.”

I pick her up and head to the downstairs of the garage to the car and for a minute there’s me not thinking.

“Give her to me Alex.”

“Dad…”

“Give her to me and shut up and drive.”

“Dad?”

“Now Alexander.”

He shouts for Mom to follow in his card with the girls.

Jen looks freaked and is being held by Mom and I hear “hunter…? Hunter?”

The rest of things get blurry with me trying to drive and me trying to keep trying to see if Hunter’s okay but keeping my eyes on the road and not shaking or freaking out.

Yeah freaking out…I had her blood making the steering wheel tacky and I’m driving faster than I ever had and dad’s telling me to run through the lights.

And I don’t hear it all but I hear Dad saying thing that I never thought I heard him say.

We went and we carried her to a gurney? And they run with her to the ER and like on TV we get pushed out of the area and there’s an area where we’re supposed to wait where I’m pacing and pacing…and shaking.

*Jennifer…

Oh my god.

What have I done?

What have I done? I completely freaked out when I found out. There was this hit to something inside of me. And I…I lost it. Her being a guy? Alex choosing her over me? It was like there was something was wrong with me and that little perfectionist bitch Mom clone in me couldn’t handle it.

Couldn’t keep it in.

And I outed her.

Him.

I can’t even see Hunter as a him, there’s just nothing there that says him other than her being a bony, skinny little twat.

Twat…see, even in my head insulting her I can’t shake the herness. Fact is Hunter screams waif.

And even not telling me, even with something this big she’s still that real true blue friend that has always told me as it was…except for that…

And I outed her.

And she’s had another attack…what if it’s her heart? Or a stroke? Or….

God what if I killed her?

Cindy gets me into the car and pulls me into her lap and holds me tight. “I…I…I might of well have shot her.”

“Jen, this isn’t your fault.”

“It is I outed her….” (sniffle-whine.)

“We knew.” Alex’s step-mom says as we’re driving.

“What?” (confused sniffle-whine.)

“We knew, I put things together the night of the dinner party…I’ve known some girls but none like Hunter. Between the supper and the shopping and some little things it was just more and more something I suspected and then Adam found out some things and well we knew…or we were sure of it.”

Cindy asks. “So why have you guys been cool with it? So Alex doesn’t get outed?”

“That was part of it and some other things but Adam…Adam just hasn’t pulled the trigger yet…honestly after everything now…I don’t think that he will.”

I sniffle. “Good…I…I…I really don’t hate Hunter, I don’t.”

We get lots of looks when they get there and Alex is pacing and looking more freaked than I’ve ever seen him especially after his nightmares.

He hasn’t had the after nightmares look in awhile.

He doesn’t look mad at me. He doesn’t look like he hates me…he should this is my fault.

Adam gives me this look as his secretary is here and he’s changing from bloody clothes to clean ones. It’s that look that he’s always had about me except since Hunter helped me and got him to help me.

I’m right back to being the nasty little so and so again. I feel this hurt there growing like I’m losing something important…lost something important?

I just can’t…can’t…

I curl up into one of the love seats and Cindy sits in behind me and hugs me as the bawling starts and I can’t stop it.

*Hunter…

I must have been really sedated because I was out of it really bad when. I’m being moved and it makes me feel extra shitty woozy. “C’mon lets get him to x-ray.”

Him…they said him.

“Her, and do it again and there’ll be trouble.” Adam? Here? Defending me?

WTF?

“Sir you can’t be here unless you’re family.”

“I’m better than family, I’m her power of attorney.”

“Yeah, don’t fuck with my lawyer.”

“Young lady, the Dr. said to keep quiet and calm.”

“Better.” Adam says.

I’m taken to Radiology and they get me on this table, oh when they don’t want you to move but want you on that table the orderlies move you with the sheets.

The thing is uncomfortable as hell.

Adam’s getting into the apron thingy. I look at him. “I wonder how much radiation this thing’s soaked up over the years?”

He gives me one of his looks.

“What?”

“Not funny.”

I stick my tongue out at him a little.

“You’re pretty calm considering everything Hunter.”

“It feels like valium…something else too…”

“Still with everything that’s happened…”

I bite my lip and try not to cry but they come anyway and he comes over and takes my hand. “I am scared, God Adam I’m f..ffucking terrified, I’ve got more to lose now than I…I..ever had….God…fuck!…I’ve never had anything to lose before.”

“You’re not going to lose anything Hunter.”

“But…But…”

“No…no butts, I’m not ready to hear about my son’s sex life.”

I laugh… “Ow……..”

“Take it easy.”

“Why are you being so good to me?”

“I’ve seen some of those scars…I have some of those scars.”

“You do?”

“Irish Cop’s kid and the smallest and the mouthiest too…lots of drinking and fighting…my Dad was one of those guys who didn’t turn it off when he got home…I…(rough cough.) lets just say I get it.”

I reach out to him and take his hand and we look at each other a lot as I go through the stuff they want me to do and it’s all good except for when they isolate my head and do a very close up series of my head. It’s not scary but who’s comfortable with x-ray machines right?

I hear I mean we hear. “Jesus Christ, who the hell did this.”……Several times. And I hear “Call the police.”

“Oh fuck.”

Adam squeezes my hand. “You need to tell them what happened Hunter.”

“No, no I don’t.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Billy…”

“……………………….” Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck….. “Don’t call me that…please…Will died when the left him for dead….”

“Hunter….then, that’s fine okay?”

The E.R. Doc and another one is there too after awhile and there’s more x-rays, a break, then the actual Lab tech comes in and draws more blood as if I haven’t lost enough of it and then lots and lots of water and some more drugs.

No peeing, more water…then an ultrasound then another ride but this time to a hospital room. Adam’s talking with the Doctors then goes to tell the others.

I hate this, I hate the waiting.

It was a lot better after they let me pee.

And the real bed, well real sorta bed compared to the slabs I’ve been on. I sink into it with a sigh and wait.

Then I see the others with Adam, April, Alex…(happy sigh)…Alex…and he’s cleaned up but you can tell he’s been through thing rough..ha..ha..oh yeah that’s me.

Cindy and Jennifer are there too, Jen won’t even look me in the eyes…every time she gets that close she starts having to wipe tears away.

April’s the first one in and she hugs me. “I’m so glad you’re okay honey!” I get another hug and she holds me a bit only moving for Alex who sits on the bed and kisses me. Long sweet deep over and over kisses until there’s some coughing from Adam.

“The doctors are here.”

Alex looks at me. “We’ll leave if you want us too hon…”

“No…” I look to the doctors. “Is it okay that they stay?”

“If it’s fine with you Miss it’s fine with us.”

They do something with this laptop on a portable wheeled stand and there’s my x-rays on the screen.

The E.R. Doc starts in. “We’ve taken several close looks and the primary problem we’ve found is there’s several pieces of glass that have somehow been lodged in the sinus area given the uhm…well miss frankly given the abuse you’ve survived this could have killed you pretty easily.”

“Okay….so I’m lucky…?”

“Very, a blow with just the right force could have the glass sever several blood vessels that you would have bled to death from. As it is the way that you body tenses and responds to stress has been occasionally sawing on those blood vessels, along with you blood pressure has been causing these nosebleeds.”

“So….can it be fixed?” April asks.

“Actually yes Dr. Hill here is the Plastic surgeon on call and…” He nods to the other doctor. She nods too. “Oh yes, we can go in and get all of this removed, you shouldn’t have any more effects afterwards than a rhinoplasty patient.”

“Oh…cool…When?”

“As soon as possible but we’d also like to address the secondary issue as well.”

Adam asks. “Secondary issue? There’s another problem?”

They both look uncomfortable ad Dr. Hill looks at me. “This is rather delicate, are you sure you want everyone here to hear this?”

“Yeah…It’s okay, we might as well. I don’t have anymore secrets anymore.”

Adam looks at me with this…oh really…look on his face. I look down and blush a bit.

She asks again. “Are you sure Miss Williams?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

She types and other x-rays come up on the screen. “When we were looking for other damage and while we did find things that as doctors just…(She looks pissed.)…well we saw some masses that we wanted to check over again just to rule out things.”

“Like…?” I ask.

“Well like cancer or anything else.”

“Cancer…” My mouth’s gone dry and April hugs me. “We’ll get through it Hunter…”

Dr. Hill looks at us. “It’s not cancer.”

“Then what is it?” Adam asks.

“See here, this space, this, and this and this?”

We all kind of nod on the edge of our seats.

“This is your uterus, and cervix and vaginal canal.”

“Huh! What the fuck?” I sit up further staring at the screen.

“Miss Williams you are not a regular male, you’re what we call intersexed you present as a male for the most basic part but you’re in fact female from your bone structure to the actual formation of your sex organs.”

“But…but I’ve never had a period.”

“You don’t have any ovaries we’re afraid and you’re really deficient in both hormones and suffering long term damage from malnutrition.”

“But my guy stuff.”

“Semi functional but if you were functioning properly there you’d be far more developed as a male.”

“So I’m a girl?”

“Yes with some extra bits and some missing bits but yes, you’ve always beef a girl.”

………………………..

………………………..

I can’t help it but start to laugh and laugh and laugh.

Fuck you Cliff…I’m so not a fag.

Oh god just picturing….I can’t stop laughing.

It’s a little crazy sounding too and Jen starts too join me with this also little bit out there giggle then we’re both laughing. We’re the only ones laughing but we just can’t stop. I hit her arm.

“Bitch.”

She hits me back. “Cunt.”

“Douche.” I hit her again.

She giggles out. “Twat.”

We laugh and giggle and then we’re holding each other. Then we’re crying and holding each other.
