You Can Tell Me Anything, chapter 1
"WHY CAN'T YOU STAY OUT OF MY PRIVACY?" Anna screamed at her father, while storming out of the house. "WHY ARE YOU CONSTANTLY LOOKING THROUGH MY STUFF?! DON'T YOU TRUST ME AT ALL?!" Anna's dad had followed her out of the house, but Anna was causing a scene out in the middle of the street. "Anna calm down, lets go back inside and talk about this." Anna's stepfather, Rob, said to her. But Anna was way to furious to calm down now. "I AM NOT GOING INSIDE! TELL ME NOW! AND YOU'RE NOT MY DAD, YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Rob had had it. He grabbed Anna by the wrist, and pulled her as hard as he could into the house. Rob was a big guy so there was no way Anna could fight him.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THAT FOR?! DON'T EMBARRASS ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IN THE STREET!" With that, Rob pulled back his fist, Anna winced, and punched her in the face. Anna stared at him and could see the fury in his eyes. She didn't mean to make him so mad, but she was really mad herself because her stepdad was going through her dresser. When she couldn't take anymore, she grabbed her backpack, shoved the stuff she wanted in there, jumped out her window and took off. Before she left the yard, she looked in the window, and saw a bunch of beer cans on the floor. She didn't know he had been drinking.
She headed down the street with her backpack and her guitar. She loved that thing, it was her moms, before she died. She knew if she was gonna run away, she wasnt going to leave that guitar behind. Anna kept walking for awhile until she saw a couple of boys on a stage. She really liked their music, so she stopped to listen for awhile. She could see people smoking their joints and things like that, but she didnt mind it. 'Sometimes I give myself the creeps, sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, it all keeps adding up... ' they sang. She LOVED their music. After they got done, someone came up onto the stage and said ''That was Green Day... '' and a bunch more about them. 'Green Day... Huh? ' she thought. 'What a great name. ' She started to walk away when she felt someone tap on her shoulder. ''Umm... Excuse me..." She turned around and saw a big pair of beautiful green eyes. "Uhh... Excuse me... I noticed you down here when I was playing and I was wondering if I could check out your guitar? '' The boy asked. "Oh yeah, sure." She handed the guitar to him and he took it out and gave it a strum.
The boy looked at her and smiled. "I like the sound. You can't find very many guitars like this!" He said. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm Billie Joe." As he stuck out his hand. "I'm Anna" she said. "Uhhh... Nice to meet you Anna." Billie Joe said with a look on his face. Anna looked at their hands and noticed she hadn't let go yet. She looked away and blushed, hoping that Billie Joe wouldn't be able to see her blushing. Anna laughed, "Sorry about that." "Oh that's fine, I get it alot" He said sarcastically, while chuckling, which made Anna give a little laugh. "So are you any good at your guitar?" Billie Joe asked. "I guess I'm okay at it... I started when I was 10." "Well how old are you now?" "16, you?" "17."
"Well, Anna, I was wondering if you would want to come over for awhile to hang out so I could get to know you... Intrested?" Billie Joe asked. Anna thought for a minute, and started blushing. "Sure" She said. "Okay, i'll go pack up stuff with the band and tell them you're joining us then." "Okay."
After Billie was done packing up everything, he brought two more guys over to meet Anna. As they were walking over, Tre asked "Is she hott?" Mike hit Tre in the arm pretty hard. Billie Joe started laughing hard. Mike didn't get why Tre always tried to take the girls Billie Joe found, because Billie Joe had met alot of girls but never wanted his friends to meet them like this. He acted happy and nervous for them to meet her. "Tre... Don't do anything stupid, please?" Billie Joe pleaded. "It's my job... But I'll try." laughed Tre. As they reached Anna, she grinned at them slapping eachother and having a good time. "Hey Anna, these are my band mates, Mike and Tre." "Hey Anna, nice to meet you." said Mike. "Howdy purdy lady." Tre laughed. Anna giggled. Mike slapped Tre on the arm in the same spot as the the 5 times just as hard.
Once they reached Billie Joe's house, they went down to the basement where they already had a guy drop their equipment off. Anna sat down on the couch while the guys played. They sounded incredible! Right when they finished the song, a woman came down the stairs. "Guys, I got you some--" The woman was very beautiful with curly, long brown hair. "Bill, you never introduced me to your new friend!" she smiled at Anna. Anna smiled back. "Mom, this is Anna, a girl I met at that gig I told you about, and Anna, this is mom." Anna stood up and went over to Billie's mom and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, Anna." "Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Armstrong." smiled Anna. "Well, I brought down some drinks, only three, but i'll get you one Anna." "No I'm fine, Mrs. Armstrong." Anna said.
By the time they got done jamming, it was 1:30 a. M. Tre had already gone home, and Anna, Billie and Mike were drinkin beer and laughing the night away. When Mrs. Armstrong said what time it was, Mike got up and slurred his words, "Well dude, I'm leavin so... See... Ya... Tomarrow." "Dude, are you gonna make it home alright?!?" asked Billie. "Of course I am! I'm not that drunk." Before he could even start walking up the stairs, Mike flopped onto the couch and fell asleep. Billie and Anna couldn't stop laughing, and they weren't that drunk. "Well, I'd better be on my way!" laughed Anna, imitating Mike on the couch next to it. This almost made Billie Joe explode with laughter. "Wait, I've been dying to ask you, what's wrong with your face?" Oh no, he had noticed, was it that big? Anna gasped as she felt the pain across her face. She ran into the bathroom and look at it. A tear fell from her eye. Her stepdad HAD hit her. She couldn't believe it.
Billie Joe came in when she was crying, and pulled her into a hug. "Hun, what's wrong?" She didn't want him to worry, so she lied. "Uhh... I got drunk the other night, I don't really know!" She smiled and tried to fight back her tears. Billie Joe smiled back and believed her. 'Thank God... ' She thought. "So, I have another question..." "You're just full of questions tonight, aren't you, Billie Joe?!" Anna laughed. "Yeah, I guess that's just who I am, but uhh... Why do you have a backpack and a guitar with you?" 'Uh oh... Busted... ' She thought. She took Billie Joe back out to the room with their instruments and sat him down on the couch. "I need to get away from my parents for awhile. That's all... K?" Anna explained. "Ohhh... Alright... Well do you have a place to stay?" Oh no, Anna hadn't thought about that.
"Well... Uhh..." she said trying to find the words. "I.. I.. I can find a hotel to stay in tonight." Then she started to get up but Billie Joe pulled her back down. "Don't be silly, stay here tonight!" Billie smiled. "Ummm... Okay... I guess I could stay on the couch." Billie Joe laughed and dragged her up the stairs. She had a pair of shorts but that's all she had for the night. "Can I borrow a t shirt for tonight, Billie?" Anna asked, feeling stupid. "Of Course, you can!" He handed her a t shirt and said "Hurry up and get dressed!" She went and changed and went back into Billie Joe's room, only to find him on the bed. Good thing she brought her own blankets and pillows. She went to get her bag when Billie Joe said "What are you doing?" "What?" Anna asked. "I'm not gonna bite, y'know." he said, "I have room up here, it's not a small bed." Anna turned around and got into the bed. Billie Joe turned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight Anna." He said. Anna felt so weird, she had never felt like this about a boy before. But she couldn't be falling for him, this fast, could she? She was really tired so she decided to sleep on it. "Night Billie Joe."
