You Can Tell Me Anything, chapter 41
*Mikes POV*
I went inside and tried to find Billie. He was upstairs in Tre's room playing some random beat on his drum set.
"You're not too bad," I said with a smile
He didn't look at me at all. Something has to be bothering him. I don't know why I feel weird talking to him all of a sudden. I really have no where else to go though..I mean I live in his house so I can't go there. Kat and Tre really need time to talk so I can't go sit with them. I guess I'll just sit here then.
*Billies POV*
Why do I feel weird that Mike's here. I've never felt like this with him before. I mean I've started to feel more attracted to guys for a while now...but I've been around more guys than girls latley, too. Oh well. Maybe if I don't pay any attention to it...it'll all go away. I can't just sit here and say nothing to him.
"So, things are sure to get crazy with Kat comming home," I said.
"That's for sure," Mike answered.
"What do you think's gonna happen between them?" I asked.
"Who?"
"Kat and Tre dumbass!" I snapped.
"God, BJ, don't feak out on me just cause you're having a bad fucking day!" He snapped back.
We sat there for another minute without saying anything. He got up to leave just as I opened my mouth to say something. He looked at me with hurt in his eyes and I couldn't say anything. He walked out the door without saying where he was going.
*Tres POV*
I really wish that I could say something to her. She left without ever knowing how I felt about her. Wait...she had to know...how did she not know...did she know?
"So..." she said.
"Yea," I answered dumbly.
"Are you gonna talk to me or what Tre?" she said cooly.
"Kat...I want to."
"Then do it, Tre. Go out on a limb and just talk to me," she begged.
"I wish I could be more like you! I wish that I could just open up and talk like you can!! But I can't...I just can't." I could feel the hot tears swelling in my eyes.
"Tre...I walked for 3 weeks to get to you. I slept in the rain and the cold. I ran away from home and left my family for you. I waited. Now I'm here and I don't wanna wait anymore."
I could see the tears starting in her eyes too. I went to reach for her hand as she stood up. I closed my eyes and started to talk as Mike walked out into the yard.
"Hey guys." he said softly.
"Hi," Kat and I said together.
"You goin somewhere Kat?" He asked
"Umm...yea. I think I'm gonna go get some new clothes. My mom tried to take me shopping down there but I ended up with clothes like these."
She pointed to her leather mini skirt.
"Who's complaining?" Mike asked with a laugh.
"Haha, very funny Mr. Dirnt!"
"What are you going to go shopping with?" I asked
"Well, my mom gave me all the money she had saved for me."
"Wait...you told her you where leaving?!" Mike asked
"Hell yea. If I would've just left they would have come looking for me."
"That makes sense," I said.
"Here, you can take my car if you want to," Mike offered.
"I really can just walk," Kat said.
"No. I will not have you walk 20 minutes to the mall and back with God knows how many bags," he answered quickly.
"Well, ok thanks," she said as she took the keys.
After she left, Mike and I sat there for awhile.
"So. You wanna go get something to eat?" I asked.
"Yea sure. Lets go get Billie."
"Sounds good," I said
We got up and headed up the stairs, totally unprepared for what we where about to see.
