The Weekend that was Suppose to Change Our Lives, Changed our worlds!, chapter 1
"Lindsay, wake the fuck up, I'm not going to be late for work again to drive you to school!" yelled Angelina, Lindsay Corvette's foster Mom. "Why can't I just move away" Lindsay mumbled into her pillow -thankfully Angelina was already down stairs and hadn't heard her remark. The sleepy 'adult' then slowly crawled out of bed, and headed down the hall into the overcrowded bathroom. "Lindsay are you a wake? I'm leaving and if you miss your bus you will not be skipping school, so unless you want to walk into town I suggest you start moving!" yelled Angelina. She was always grumpy in the morning, she always blamed it on her job but I know the real reason, it's because she's stuck with me, I'm sure if she had the money she would send me away some where. (Not because she liked me and wanted me to go on a vacation or anything. )
*********
About eight minutes in the bathroom I was done- a record for me. I then got dressed and, "Oh My Fucking Gosh," the horn of the bus, I can't miss it, I ran out without even eating breakfast and ran down to the station (it was just two house away) and jumped on.
"Lindz over here" yelled my best friend Nikki, whom I've known since about grade two.
"Did you manage to eat breakfast today?" she asked
"Unfortunately I didn't" I replied "I could go for some toast or a bowl of cereal right now though."
"How bout a cereal bar instead"
I turned to in her direction to see what she was talking about; she was holding two 'toasted oats milk bars'
"Sounds good to me" I immediately grabbed one from her and started peeling of the paper.
"Does this mean you've missed breakfast too?"
In a quiet whisper under her breath she said "I did... Unfortunately"
It was probably because of her parents fighting again. Nikki has had problems with her parents for almost as long as I've know her, but soon that's going to change... We're both failing collage, and we're always seventeen minutes late because we need to take the bus into town and then run to our classes. There's just no point for us to stay here anymore. This weekend it will all change.
**Nikki's POV**
I can't wait till we get out of here, only one more day till Friday, then we are gone to start our new lives in Toronto. I just hope we can find someone to take us there; I'm kind of scared to hitch hike, but knowing Lindsay will be there with me makes me feel less nervous about the whole thing.
"Hey, Nikki, this Friday, Toronto here we come!" Lindsay excitingly said trying not to be too loud.
"I got all my money, and I took $50 from my moms person so I have $130, how bout you?"
"Well I've been trying to save up most of the money from my job, but then I had to buy food so I only have $70, I'm sorry Nikki"
She then looked at me with the most apologetic look on her face.
"Its okay Lindz it's not your fault, I know how hard it is for you to save money, we still $200, that could probably start us of then when we get jobs, just don't worry about it's going to be okay."
To tell you the truth, I wasn't so sure my self, if we do get by and find someone with a lot of roommate's maybe they could let us lay low till we can pay them back from our jobs... I really hope so.
*Lindsay's POV**
Nikki has always been the smart one, she's probably right, I'm sure if we didn't miss school so much and wasn't always late she would pass with flying colors. Everything will be okay, I know it is.
*********
**Friday Night**
"Nikki, are you sure you want to go through with this, you don't have to if you don't want to."
"I know Lindsay, but I want to I hate it here and I won't let you do this alone."
**Still Lindsay's POV**
We then embraced each other with a hug that seemed to go on forever, or at least until the bus got here. We then took our duffel bags-full of our cloths, money, photos, our BFF necklace's, and anything personal put $2. 50 in the meter and sat at the back of the bus.
"Lindsay, I'm scared, what if something goes wrong."
I could see the worry in my best friends' eyes;
"Everything's going to be okay." I said in a reassuring voice.
It took about 25 minutes for the bus to get into town. We then started walking in the direction of Toronto.
*********
**2 and a half hours after walking**
**Nikki's POV**
"Nikki, I'm tired of walking, I mean I know you don't really want to hitch hike, but we can't walk all the way from Ottawa to Toronto, that's like a 6 hour drive! Besides we've been walking all night!"
I knew she was right, and I was so tired too, I didn't want to but just the look in her eyes reassured me.
"Okay, Lindsay, lets do this then"
She then hugged me, and started walking down the road backwards with one hand signally for someone to pick us up and the other around me shoulders.
It wasn't long until a truck driver stopped.
"So where are you going girls?"
"We need to get to Toronto, or at least the closest you can get us."
The man thought for a moment, "Well it's a bit out of my way but I could get you to Barrie, but only if you can give me some money for gas."
"One minute, I just have to talk to my friend about this"
"Lindsay, how much money would he need?"
"I don't know but Barrie is only a half an hour drive, it may take us an hour but we can do it."
I nodded to Lindsay and said "Okay then."
**Lindsay's POV**
"We'll take that ride... Uh what's your name?"
"My name's Ralph, jump on in."
I then helped Nikki up into the truck and climbed in myself.
"So Ralph, how much money will you need for gas?" asked Nikki
"Nikki what are you doing? SHUT UP!" I said into her ear before giving her a nudge in the side.
"Probably between 25 to 30 dollars."
"Oh... Uh okay then."
I then took $30 out of my bag.
*********
**Twenty minutes after driving**
**Ralph's POV**
Poor Suckers their so tired they fell asleep 20 minutes after I left for Barrie. They look so young; it shames me to have to take all their money.
**Nikki's POV**
I woke up it was bright out so we must have slept through the night.
"Lindsay, wake up, we fell asleep."
"Hmm, oh yah I guess we did, sorry about that Ralph."
"We were just so tired."
"Oh that's okay kids; umm sorry to have to tell you this but the $30 dollars wasn't enough I need about $20 more."
"Oh" said Nikki and Lindsay.
Lindsay then pulled $20 dollars out of her bag and gave it to Ralph.
"Sorry about that kid's."
Ralph then stopped to get gas, and kept driving for what seemed like hours.
"Okay kid's here we are Barrie"
"Oh thank you so much, Ralph we really appreciate it."
"Sorry about the money thing do you have any more money for your trip?"
"Huh, oh yah we do its okay" said Lindsay.
"Well, give it to me."
Lindsay and I both turned around to see that the man was talking about, and he was holding a knife!
"Quick Nikki get out of the truck!"
Lindsay was already out of the truck trying to pull me out then...
"Owe FUCK!" I turned to see what was causing the unbearable sharp pain in my right arm; Ralph was pulling his knife out of it!
**Lindsay's POV**
"Nikki, come one what are you waiting for? I turned to see her bleeding and then... We were rolling down into a ditch together."
"Fuck, Lindsay it hurts."
I then grabbed my black sweater out of my bag and rapped it around her arm.
"Nikki get up we need to find someone to take us to the hospital."
"I'm not doing that again Lindsay! Are you crazy?"
"I didn't want to either but we don't know where or how far away the hospital is, we don't have any money except the $20 in my bag, and no one will hurt an already hurt person."
"I'm sorry I didn't grab my bag, Lindsay I should have it's just that... "
"Trust me Nikki; it's not your fault."
**Nikki's POV**
My arm hurt so much, but the pressure on it made it feel slightly better. Lindsay then had one arm around me and with her other hand she had her thumb up.
"Lindsay, someone is stopping"
Lindsay then went up to the window "Can you take us to th..."
We were cut off by someone in the passenger seat... They sounded familiar but I couldn't tell who it was, the windows were tinted and only down a crack.
"Yah yah, we'll take you anywhere just get in."
I could tell that Lindsay was startled at it but just opened the door and pushed me in.
"We need to get to th... " Lindsay was cut off again; I could tell she was getting agitated.
"What do you girls think your doing hitch hiking?"
"Lindsay was startled by the remark, I was too but I was too focused on Lindsay's expression on her face."
She turned to see who she was talking to and... Fainted.
"Lindsay, Lindsay! Are you okay?"
I looked up to see who was driving and said "Oh My Fucking Gosh, your Green DaOWE!" I turned to see who or what was holding my arm, it was Tre Cool unwrapping the sweater off my arm.
"What the fuck happened to you?" he said
"Is she gunna be okay" said the driver?
At this point, Mike Dirnt was placing Lindsay in a laid back chair in the car.
"Hey are you listening to us? What happened is she gunna be all right?" I looked over to Billie Joe... Oh My God, I was looking at Billie Joe!
"Oh sorry uh I was stabbed and she loves her music so I'm assuming she just fainted at the sight of you, Billie Joe."
"Oh yay more crazed fans, except these ones are in our car."
Billie Joe and Tre started laughing.
"Billie, I think we should take this girl to the hospital."
"Okay, we'll drive her to the hospital in Barrie, if the other girl still hasn't woken up I'll drive her to our hotel and wait until she gets up and drive back here" said Billie Joe as he pulled onto the road and started heading towards the hospital.
I hope Lindsay wakes up soon. I really need her to be at the hospital soon, I guess for now though Mike and Tre will keep me company.
**Lindsay's POV**
Hmm, where am I? What happened? I looked around the room; the walls were stripped with a dark and light green. The dresser, picture frames, bed frame and head bored were all made of a black wood. Looking at the walls reminded me of the American Idiot video by Green Day.
"Wait a minute, Green Day? Nikki?... Nikki!"
I started to remember what happened to my best friend and yelled her name as I walked down the halls.
"Nikki, Nikki, where are you?"
"Come down sleepyhead, Mike just called she's gunna be just fine."
"I couldn't believe my eyes I was looking at Billie Joe Armstrong!"
"Wait, what? What happened?"
"Well, first you interrupted me trying to tell you something but fainting in car and then started yelling interrupting my show."
"Oh sorry and sorry."
"That's okay, now are you ready to go see your friend, she's at the hospital."
"Yeah I'm ready... Where am I exactly?"
"You are in the 'Spring Break Hotel' in Toronto" "Now are you ready to go?"
"Yeah"
Billie Joe then turned off the TV and I followed him to his car.
"So what exactly where you kids doing hitch hiking?"
"We were trying to get to Toronto from Ottawa, and then this guy he stabbed Nikki and stole all of our money except for the $20 I have in my bag and then we had to find someone to take us to the hospital... "
"And that's when we picked you up."
"Yeah and then I guess I fainted"
"Sorry about that again"
"You know you say sorry an awful lot, did you know that?"
No one said anything after that; we just drove to the hospital in silence. We got there about 25 minutes after.
"What room is Nikki Corwin in?"
"She's in room 252, second floor"
"Thank you"
Billie Joe and I took the elevator up. It took us 15 minutes to find it because he got us lost but when we did I was so happy to finally see my friend.
**Nikki's POV**
"So Nikki, how old are you?"
"I'll be 20 in one month."
Just then Lindsay and Billie Joe walked into the room.
"Nikki, are you okay?"
I could tell how worried she was about me, "Yeah, I'm gunna be fine, but... " I lowered my voice to try to make it so only she can hear me "... They had to call my parents to come get me, they'll be hear in about 3 hours to pick me up."
"But why, you're legally an adult why would they call your parents?"
Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre then left the room to give us privacy.
"My arm, he messed it up pretty bad, I wouldn't be able to drive or anything, they overheard me talking so they know I have no place to go, and they think I'm mentally unbalanced."
"Wow, those are pretty good reasons, but we're so close, it's not fair."
"You should leave, if the doctors see you in here they may think you did it or call your step Mom. My chances are ruined, why should yours be too?"
**Lindsay's POV**
I knew she was right; I just didn't want to leave my best friend here. I then got up and embraced my friend for the last time and darted out of the hospital as fast I could.
**Billie Joe's POV**
"Holly shit what the fuck was that all about?" asked Tre.
"Someone should probably go after her" said Mike
Mike and Tre just looked at Billie; he did spend the most time with her.
"Aw fuck, I knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary day."
I then ran out of the hospital only to see Lindsay walking down the road with her hood up and her duffel bag on her shoulder.
"Lindsay, Stop! Lindsay, LINDSAY STOP!"
I then ran up to her and grabbed her free shoulder. I must have scared her cause she jumped a little.
"Holly crap you scared me!" she said as she pulled her head phones off.
"Sorry about that"
"Where do you think you're going by yourself with only $20?"
"I don't know, Toronto somewhere."
"Your not going to get far with $20, you'll end up living on the street, and then what you hitch a ride to somewhere else?"
"I don't know, I don't know anything anymore, I just can't go home, I can't."
"What was so bad where you lived that you wouldn't want to go back?"
"It's my step Mom, she doesn't want me, and it's a long story."
"Well, why don't you come back to our hotel room and tell me about it. You can stay there until you get yourself on your feet."
"Oh My Gosh, do you mean it, thank you so much!"
**Mikes POV**
**Two minutes ago**
"Billie's pretty upset someone should go after him" said Tre.
Tre just looked at Mike.
"Fine I'll go but you have to stay here with Nikki."
I then too ran out of the hospital to find Lindsay and Billie talking together. I then walked up to them when Lindsay gave Billie a huge hug, which is pretty brave considering the mood he was in. Fortunately he just went with it and started walking back towards me.
"Why don't you go put your bag in the car and meet us back here" said Billie.
He then explained to me that she was gunna be staying with us for a while.
**15 minutes later**
**Lindsay's POV**
"Okay, I'm back"
"What took you so long, we were gunna send a search and rescue team out to find you" said Billie Joe
I could tell that he had lightened up a bit.
"Do you think one of you could go give this to Nikki, it's important."
"Yes, your majesty, I'll do it" he then whispered quietly (but not too quiet that I couldn't hear) "I gotta go get Tre anyway." "So what is it I'm giving her?"
I then handed to Mike a Black T-shirt with a picture of me and Nikki on it.
"A T-shirt? Okay then if you say so"
**Mike's POV**
I grabbed the T-shirt and headed to the second floor to room number... Number shit I forgot the room number. I then ran down the stairs and outside to where Billie and Lindsay were sitting.
"Hey do any of you remember the room number?"
"Mike you ditz, you forgot the room number"
"Shut up Billie just tell me her room number."
"Its room 252, second floor, and give her the T-shirt okay."
"Yeah, Yeah"
I then ran inside to the elevator, there was no way I was going up the stairs again. "Okay now, let's see room 249, 250, 251, and ha 252 and Oh My Gosh, I'm talking to myself."
"Hey man"
"Hey, where ready to go, and Nikki, don't worry bout your friend we'll take care of her. She wanted me to give this to you, a T-shirt or something."
"Oh My Gosh, I can't believe she still has this."
"Hey, there's something written on the back of it" said Tre
**Nikki's POV**
"Hey there is."
Dear Nikki:
I'm so sorry for dragging you out here, it's my entire fault you got stabbed. Billie said I could stay with them till I got on my feet. As soon as I've got a permanent place to stay, some money and a car I'll come and get you.
Best friends always Lindsay
Xoxo
"So what does it say?"
I could tell that Mike and Tre were curious, "It just says that we'll always have each other and for me to get better."
"Uh huh"
"Well, we have to go, but it was nice to meet you Nikki, I hope you get better."
"Yeah, ditto"
"Nice choice of words Tre."
"Bye, and say good-bye to Billie Joe for me and thanks for everything."
*********
About eight minutes in the bathroom I was done- a record for me. I then got dressed and, "Oh My Fucking Gosh," the horn of the bus, I can't miss it, I ran out without even eating breakfast and ran down to the station (it was just two house away) and jumped on.
"Lindz over here" yelled my best friend Nikki, whom I've known since about grade two.
"Did you manage to eat breakfast today?" she asked
"Unfortunately I didn't" I replied "I could go for some toast or a bowl of cereal right now though."
"How bout a cereal bar instead"
I turned to in her direction to see what she was talking about; she was holding two 'toasted oats milk bars'
"Sounds good to me" I immediately grabbed one from her and started peeling of the paper.
"Does this mean you've missed breakfast too?"
In a quiet whisper under her breath she said "I did... Unfortunately"
It was probably because of her parents fighting again. Nikki has had problems with her parents for almost as long as I've know her, but soon that's going to change... We're both failing collage, and we're always seventeen minutes late because we need to take the bus into town and then run to our classes. There's just no point for us to stay here anymore. This weekend it will all change.
**Nikki's POV**
I can't wait till we get out of here, only one more day till Friday, then we are gone to start our new lives in Toronto. I just hope we can find someone to take us there; I'm kind of scared to hitch hike, but knowing Lindsay will be there with me makes me feel less nervous about the whole thing.
"Hey, Nikki, this Friday, Toronto here we come!" Lindsay excitingly said trying not to be too loud.
"I got all my money, and I took $50 from my moms person so I have $130, how bout you?"
"Well I've been trying to save up most of the money from my job, but then I had to buy food so I only have $70, I'm sorry Nikki"

To tell you the truth, I wasn't so sure my self, if we do get by and find someone with a lot of roommate's maybe they could let us lay low till we can pay them back from our jobs... I really hope so.
*Lindsay's POV**
Nikki has always been the smart one, she's probably right, I'm sure if we didn't miss school so much and wasn't always late she would pass with flying colors. Everything will be okay, I know it is.

"I know Lindsay, but I want to I hate it here and I won't let you do this alone."

We then embraced each other with a hug that seemed to go on forever, or at least until the bus got here. We then took our duffel bags-full of our cloths, money, photos, our BFF necklace's, and anything personal put $2. 50 in the meter and sat at the back of the bus.

"Oh... Uh okay then."
I then took $30 out of my bag.

**Lindsay's POV**
Hmm, where am I? What happened? I looked around the room; the walls were stripped with a dark and light green. The dresser, picture frames, bed frame and head bored were all made of a black wood. Looking at the walls reminded me of the American Idiot video by Green Day.
"Wait a minute, Green Day? Nikki?... Nikki!"
I started to remember what happened to my best friend and yelled her name as I walked down the halls.
"Nikki, Nikki, where are you?"
"Come down sleepyhead, Mike just called she's gunna be just fine."
"I couldn't believe my eyes I was looking at Billie Joe Armstrong!"
"Wait, what? What happened?"
"Well, first you interrupted me trying to tell you something but fainting in car and then started yelling interrupting my show."
"Oh sorry and sorry."
"That's okay, now are you ready to go see your friend, she's at the hospital."
"Yeah I'm ready... Where am I exactly?"
"You are in the 'Spring Break Hotel' in Toronto" "Now are you ready to go?"
"Yeah"
Billie Joe then turned off the TV and I followed him to his car.

Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre then left the room to give us privacy.
"My arm, he messed it up pretty bad, I wouldn't be able to drive or anything, they overheard me talking so they know I have no place to go, and they think I'm mentally unbalanced."
"Wow, those are pretty good reasons, but we're so close, it's not fair."
"You should leave, if the doctors see you in here they may think you did it or call your step Mom. My chances are ruined, why should yours be too?"

"What was so bad where you lived that you wouldn't want to go back?"
"It's my step Mom, she doesn't want me, and it's a long story."
"Well, why don't you come back to our hotel room and tell me about it. You can stay there until you get yourself on your feet."
"Oh My Gosh, do you mean it, thank you so much!"
**Mikes POV**
**Two minutes ago**
"Billie's pretty upset someone should go after him" said Tre.
Tre just looked at Mike.
"Fine I'll go but you have to stay here with Nikki."
I then too ran out of the hospital to find Lindsay and Billie talking together. I then walked up to them when Lindsay gave Billie a huge hug, which is pretty brave considering the mood he was in. Fortunately he just went with it and started walking back towards me.
"Why don't you go put your bag in the car and meet us back here" said Billie.
He then explained to me that she was gunna be staying with us for a while.
**15 minutes later**
**Lindsay's POV**
"Okay, I'm back"
"What took you so long, we were gunna send a search and rescue team out to find you" said Billie Joe
I could tell that he had lightened up a bit.
"Do you think one of you could go give this to Nikki, it's important."
"Yes, your majesty, I'll do it" he then whispered quietly (but not too quiet that I couldn't hear) "I gotta go get Tre anyway." "So what is it I'm giving her?"
I then handed to Mike a Black T-shirt with a picture of me and Nikki on it.
"A T-shirt? Okay then if you say so"
**Mike's POV**
I grabbed the T-shirt and headed to the second floor to room number... Number shit I forgot the room number. I then ran down the stairs and outside to where Billie and Lindsay were sitting.
"Hey do any of you remember the room number?"
"Mike you ditz, you forgot the room number"
"Shut up Billie just tell me her room number."
"Its room 252, second floor, and give her the T-shirt okay."
"Yeah, Yeah"
I then ran inside to the elevator, there was no way I was going up the stairs again. "Okay now, let's see room 249, 250, 251, and ha 252 and Oh My Gosh, I'm talking to myself."
"Hey man"
"Hey, where ready to go, and Nikki, don't worry bout your friend we'll take care of her. She wanted me to give this to you, a T-shirt or something."
"Oh My Gosh, I can't believe she still has this."
"Hey, there's something written on the back of it" said Tre
**Nikki's POV**
"Hey there is."
Dear Nikki:
I'm so sorry for dragging you out here, it's my entire fault you got stabbed. Billie said I could stay with them till I got on my feet. As soon as I've got a permanent place to stay, some money and a car I'll come and get you.
Best friends always Lindsay
Xoxo
"So what does it say?"
I could tell that Mike and Tre were curious, "It just says that we'll always have each other and for me to get better."
"Uh huh"
"Well, we have to go, but it was nice to meet you Nikki, I hope you get better."
"Yeah, ditto"
"Nice choice of words Tre."
"Bye, and say good-bye to Billie Joe for me and thanks for everything."
