A Hurricane Of Fucking Lies, chapter 8
Joey walked into his homeroom, only to be given a pass to go to the consulling office. On the way there, he ran into Gena.
"Hi, Gena." said Joey. Gena just brushed past him and began to laugh with her gang of hip-hop bitches.
"Joey M. Armstrong, I presume," said the secretary as he walked in. Joey nodded. "Right this way." Joey followed her into this hallway outside this consullers office. There were these chairs outside in the hallway. Joey sat next to this blonde haired girl.
"Hey, you're the girl from the poster. Ashley Thompson, right?" he asked the girl.
"Yeah, running for president. And you must be Billie Joe Armstrong's son, Joey Armstrong, right?" she replied. She seemed nice to Joey. She had blue eyes and was wearing a pair of tight jeans and a blue shirt.
"That's my claim to fame. I'm not involved in school politics, but I voted for you," he answered.
"Thanks. So what are you doing in counseling?" Ashley asked.
"I'm in counseling?" she nodded. "Well my dad must have put me here," Joey said, just a little dumbstruck.
"So why are you here? We're gonna be in here for a little while. The kid in there now takes at least two hours. And he just went in 20 min. ago," she explained. So Joey told Ashley his story, about Adrienne, Noah and Crystel. She seemed very understanding, which put Joey at ease.
"Wow that really sucks. That's shit to why I'm here. I had this abusive boyfriend named Tom. He would rape me, beat me, and get me drunk. Finally I told my parents, and right now he's awaitng trail. I hope the fucker goes to jail. Anyway, I wasn't planning on going to counseling until my mom put me here. She thought it would be better if I talked to someone about my problems. And I've been going here since the begininnig of my sophomore year, or this year," she explained to Joey.
"Wow that's pretty serious. Did you try to break up with him?" asked Joey. For some reason he was consurned, even thought he only had known the girl for a few mintinues.
"Yeah, once. But then he raped me and called me a bitch and a slut. Then when he got sent to jail, and I was ready to move on, all of his friends spread rumors about me, so no one will go out with me," she sadly explained.
"Oh wow, I'm so sorry, it sounds like he put you throught hell," said Joey.
"Yeah, it sounds like your parents have a lot of issues to work out, too," said Ashley.
"Yeah, there was this one fight in 2006. It was pretty bad. My mom left for like 2 years and thats when she slept with Noah. She couldn't see us because of her pregant belly. I was so pissed when she told me, it hurt me so bad. But I know she loves my dad," explained Joey. The two new friends talked for hours, about simple stuff like school, homework, other stuff like that. Finally Joey brought up the family cookout.
"Yeah, it's this really big like BBQ thing with Mike and Tre and thier kids. Me and Jakob invite our friends and stuff, it's really cool." said Joey.
"Sounds like fun, my family does that for that kind of thing for the 4th of July, mine is boring, thought," Ashley said kind of dully.
"Would you like to be my guest of honor?" asked Joey.
"Really, I thought you would bring Mark or something," stated Ashley.
"Nah, me and him aren't really friends anymore," explained Joey.
"Oh, in that case I'll go," answered Ashley, and Joey smiled. This day was going well.
"Hi, Gena." said Joey. Gena just brushed past him and began to laugh with her gang of hip-hop bitches.
