Lost, chapter 6
*Billie Joe's point of view.*
"OK so I still don't understand, for some strange odd reason I was talking on this radio station and then the person who was on the other line of the phone got stuck by lighting and it went through the connection so I got struck too." I said while shoving a spoonful of potatoes in my mouth.
"Yeah, that would be correct sir." Tre said imitating a person who was on trial.
"Well isn't that random?" I replied smiling and then eating the bit of potatoes that I was swinging around on my fork.
"Yeah. It is." Mike said very quietly.. It was almost if he were hiding something. Then Mike shot this glance over at Tre and when he did Tre got the solemnest look on his face that I have ever seen possible for Tre to have and then stared down at his food and played with it with his fork.
I kind of snorted a little then, "Guys, what's up? Is something wrong?"
"Uh, no, why would something be wrong?" Mike informed me. And as he did he shot the same look at Tre again and Tre did the same thing. I stared at them in disbelief for a while. We all continued to eat, in silence, from that point on.
*Mackenzie's point of view*
I finally got to leave that horrid hospital. And I hadn't heard music, well except for elevator music for about a week now and I couldn't take it. I turned on the radio but DJ's were talking.. They are always talking. Well I didn't have any CD's with me and all the other stations were crap so I just listened to them talk.
"It has now been a week since that strange thing with that girl and Billie Joe."
"I think her name was like Mackenzie or something."
'Hmmm I wonder what went on between them.' I wondered to myself.
"Yeah, I wonder if they still found each other and are happy now."
"Well let's hope so. Hey, do ya think we should give Mr. Billie Joe a call?"
I was off in my own little world but still half listening to the radio.
"Hello?" I heard a familiar voice come on the radio through a cell phone.
"Hey there Billie Joe! This is KTCL. Do you remember us?"
"Uh... no actually I don't. And I'm kind of busy" Billie Joe began but the DJ cut him off.
"Oh well we were just wondering if you and that girl ever found each other."
"Uhh I don't think I know about a girl that I found or whatever." A little more interested Billie Joe had said.
"Oh come on, you went to the highest extremes to try to find her, and now you don't even remember?"
"Well I guess not. Maybe you could fill me in a little bit more?"
"Billie Joe, to truthfully say, I am shocked. But yeah I'll be happy to fi... " *click* "hello? Well that was odd, I think Billie Joe had just hung up on us."
"Well anyways, here is a song for you, it's Green Day, I thought it would be right to play for the occasion." The other DJ had started talking again.
'That was really odd... Why would he hang up like that?' I wondered to myself.
*Billie Joe's point of view*
"MIKE! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" I yelled at Mike who had just snatched the phone from me and hung it up.
"Billie Joe, I'm sorry, it was for your own good." Mike told me and never looked my in the eye. He kept his head bowed low and walked right out of the room without saying another word.
I shrugged it off and picked my guitar back up and tried writing some more songs.
*Mike's point of view*
Ok.. I know it was wrong, I was kind of eavesdropping on Billie Joe. Well first I was just listening to him thinking of some new song ideas, nothing wrong there. But then his cell phone rang and I was worried about it being media, which it turned out to be. I listened a while and as soon as I heard him say something about finding some girl, then I knew what they were talking about.
"Hey Mike, will you come play with me?" I heard Tre's little kid voice behind me as I walked through the living room. I really didn't feel like doing anything, but I did agree to go play Super Mario Bros with Tre.
About 30 minutes into our playing we had beaten almost the whole game and Billie Joe walked in.
"Hey guys. I'm a little tired. I'm gonna go to bed a little earlier than usual." He informed us.
"Yah, you take it easy man you just got out of the hospital." I reminded him. Billie Joe slipped out of the room and into his own and I stared at the screen and watched Tre beat yet another level.
"OK so I still don't understand, for some strange odd reason I was talking on this radio station and then the person who was on the other line of the phone got stuck by lighting and it went through the connection so I got struck too." I said while shoving a spoonful of potatoes in my mouth.
