The next thing Poser remembered was waking up to Pixie’s voice.

 

“Poser BooBoo” she said, softly stroking his wounded head.

                                                                                                          

Poser opened his eyes.

 

“He’s awake!” Pixie shouted.

 

“Pix” Poser said weakly.

 

“Do you remember Friday night?” Pixie asked.

 

Poser shook his head, and then moaned in pain.

 

“Baby, don’t move your head” said Pixie. “Do you remember you & Honky smoking weed? The doctors smelled it on your breath”

 

“Where’s Honky?” Poser mumbled.

 

“He’s on the other side of the curtain” said Pixie.

 

“I wanna see him” Poser said.

 

“Poser, look. You broke both of your legs,” said Pixie. “You can’t really walk over to see him”

 

“Does he wanna see Honky?” asked the nurse.

 

“Yeah” said Poser.

 

The nurse moved the curtain out of the way, and rolled Honky’s bed next to Poser’s.

 

“Hey, man” said Poser.

 

“Hey” Honky mumbled.

 

Carlotta rushed in. “Honky!” she shouted. “Babe, are you ok?”

 

“Yeah” Honky said. “Who are you?”               

 

“The painkillers are kicking in” the nurse explained to Carlotta. “He does know who you are”

 

“Honky, man, do you remember me?” asked Poser.

 

“Jack D?” Honky asked, groggily.

 

“How much did you drink?” asked Pixie.

 

“I don’t remember” Poser moaned.

 

“Oh, you poor thing” said Carlotta.

 

“It’s their fault, Carlotta” said Pixie. “They were driving around drunk & stoned”

 

“YOU GOT STONED WITHOUT ME?” Carlotta exclaimed.
