Would You Be Mine?, chapter 21
Recap
"Watch out Sarah!" Joey yelled when Jakob shot the ball in my direction. We were playing water ball and I was in a team with Joey while Billie was with Jakob. I caught the ball and shot it to Joey. Joey grabbed it and immediately threw a goal. Billie who was the goalkeeper looked stunned at how fast his son reacted. "Ha, I knew we would beat them" said Joey when he swam to me and clapped my hand "High five" I screamed.

Later that day Adrienne returned and took the boys with her.
"It was so great, dad and Sarah." said Joey and hugged us. I padded his head and said: "I know I had a great time as well, my little hero".
He smiled and then sat in the car.
Jakob needed more time to say good bye. He didn't want to leave. But after some time Adrienne could drive of with them.
"You have the most adorable kids I've ever seen" I said to Billie on our way back in the house.
"I know, I love them so much" said Billie.
Time went by and soon the day of our flight back to Germany arrived. Billie and I had a great time together. We went shopping, went to the movie theatre, to the beach and goofed around. The time in California was the best time of my life so far - well If you leave out the think with Tom. But I never felt so welcome anywhere before. Billie always made me feel so special.
It was only two hours before Mel and I had to drive to the airport that I spent my time with Billie lying in bed. The whole day we didn't feel like getting up. Billie held me in his arms and stroke my hair. Suddenly he got up and took something out of the drawer and hid it behind his back.
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
He kissed my nose.
"I already brought it some weeks ago but I thought today would be the best day." he said giving me a box. He watched me carefully while I unpacked the box.
"Oh Billie it's wonderful!" I said looking at the bracelet, giving him a hug and a passionate kiss.
"So that you won't forget me" he said returning my kiss.
"I won't forget you. I'll probably won't be able to stop thinking of you"
Billie, Mike, Mel and I drove to the airport. It was a silent drive. No one wanted to believe that for now we had to take different directions. Saying good bye was painful and heartbreaking. Billie kissed my stomach and said I should take care of the baby. He gave me one last kiss before Mel and I disappeared to the check-in.
The flight was silent. Mel instantly fell asleep. I felt some tears drop down my cheek. I already missed Billie like crazy.
When we arrived home Mel got a shower and I sat on my bed. I missed Billie. I looked out my window and tuned on the radio. They played "Slow day" by Die Happy. It made me cry. I never felt such an immense connection to that song. I softly started to sing along.
There's a traffic jam outside my window
There's a red light on that just won't change
The pavement's full of cracks from all the sunshine
But now they're filling up 'cause the rain is falling down
I'm running round in circles
Trying to find my way
It's a slow day without you
It's a slow day when you're not around
It's a slow day with no escape
It's a slow day without you
There's a jet-plane up there hanging in the sky
Just kind of resting his wings on that big white cloud
Minutes taking on but stretching out forever
Just like the rooftops out there - they all melt together
I'm running 'round in circles
Trying to find my way
24 long hours with nothing to do
24 long hours just hanging on, waiting for you
It's gonna be a slow day
God how I already missed him.

Every day without Billie felt like a worthless day. But Mel and I tried to make the best of it. Mel did the job interview but she didn't get the job. But both of us got a job at a bar.
My baby developed great and soon people would see that I was pregnant. Billie and I phoned almost every day making sure we were OK. He cared a lot for me and always asked how the baby was and how I felt.
My parents weren't that lucky that I was with him but they said it was my decision and accepted it.
In one week Green Day would be on tour in Germany. They had some promotion to do and played some concerts. Mel and I wanted to be with them the whole time so we took some days off.
But one day before the reunion something bad happened. I lost the baby.
"Watch out Sarah!" Joey yelled when Jakob shot the ball in my direction. We were playing water ball and I was in a team with Joey while Billie was with Jakob. I caught the ball and shot it to Joey. Joey grabbed it and immediately threw a goal. Billie who was the goalkeeper looked stunned at how fast his son reacted.
