Troubled Times, chapter 6
I was pretty sure the guys from my school would be looking for me now, and knowing them, my car would be the one in trouble. I kept glancing back at my car about every minute and Billie Joe was taking note of it.
"Hey, don't worry, it'll be fine." He tried to assure me.
"But.. That car is my life and they know that." I replied not taking my eyes off it.
"Well ok.. Come on guys." Billie Joe said and motioned for us to follow him.
I looked at him a little confused and then at Mike. He shrugged his shoulders showing that he had no idea what Billie Joe was doing either. Tre hopped up and ran out to the door. He was humming the Mission Impossible theme and had his hands up in a fake gun. As soon as he ran out the door we heard Tre scream OOOWWWW really loud and saw him clutching his arm. Then, we knew why, all the guys from my school had paintball guns and were hitting Tre, and then moved down to my cars.
"NOOO... " I screamed and tried to run toward the door, but Billie Joe caught me in mid air. I let my head fall low.
"It's going to be alright. I promise." Billie Joe assured me and let go of me. I turned to him and hugged him for a second. Mike was getting more fidgety by the second. Soon Tre stopped getting shot at and he waved for us to come out, showing that they had left.
"Tre why didn't you just run back inside once they started shooting at you?" I asked him.
"Well... . Um... .. I didn't think of that... " Tre replied trying to get some thoughts together in his head. "Hey, Mike, Billie Joe, come with me to order some more ice cream." Tre said the them winking. He motioned for me to stay where I was. I could kind of hear what they were saying.
"Dude when are you going to tell her?" Tre asked Mike.
"When It feels right." Mike said looking at his feet.
"We spent all this time searching and now we found her, you don't want to tell her?" Tre pestered Mike.
"Well, I'm not going to barge in and say 'Hi Mackenzie, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Oh yeah, in case your wondering, I'm your... ... .." Mike was interrupted by a huge explosion out in the parking lot.
We all turned around fast enough to get whiplash. We all rushed outside to see what was going on.
"Oh my God... ." I managed to get out staring in awe of what happened.
"Hey, don't worry, it'll be fine." He tried to assure me.
"But.. That car is my life and they know that." I replied not taking my eyes off it.
