Redundant, chapter 10
Mom looked at me with her arms crossed. She had one eyebrow raised. I felt like a weak leaf about to fall off a tree from the way she was looking at me. All of a sudden, she swung her arms back like she was about to hit me, but it turned into a hug. What the hell was going on?
"Thank you for doing that, Billie Joe!" she said as her hug became tighter. I looked at her with a confused look on my face. I pulled away from the hug and looked into her eyes.
"What are you thanking me for? I ran away from home. Isn't that something you should punish me for?" I asked her still with the confused look.
"Yeah, but you did it for a good reason," she said "thank you for getting rid of Brad."
She's thanking me for getting rid of him? I looked at Adrienne who was standing behind me. She shrugged her shoulders. I looked back at mom.
"Why are you happy that I got rid of Brad," I began asking "I thought you loved him." she sighed.
"He was getting on my nerves," she began "look what he did to me."
She pulled up her sleeve and showed me and Adrienne the Indian burn on her arm. It was badly infected. She pulled the sleeve back and looked at me. She noticed my cracked nose. Her mouth dropped open. She grabbed me and Adrienne by the arm and ran to her car.
"Um mom," I began as she threw us into the back seat "didn't Brad crash this car into Tré's mailbox?" she looked at me and said "Never mind about that now. We've got a nose to fix." She got out of the mall parking lot and sped off.
*Many Hours Later*
"Okay, that nose is back to normal now;" The doctor said to me "You can go home now."
We walked outside the hospital and went to the car. Adrienne and I sat in the back seat of the vehicle. As we were driving home, I realised that we forgot something.
"Mom, can we go back to the mall?" I asked "we forgot about Mike and Tré."
We sped back to the mall. They were at the main entrance smoking cigarettes.
"Hey, where did you get the smokes from?" I asked them.
"No cigarettes for you, young man!" mom said to me as she grabbed my two friends and shoved them in the car. Tré in the front and Mike in the back with me and Adrienne.
We dropped Tré back home first then Mike. It was just me, mom and my girlfriend.
"Where do you live?" mom asked Adrienne. She looked at my mom. There was silence. "I live behind Mike's house by myself." she said to her. Luckily we were still in front of his house.
She stepped out of the vehicle and took a few steps. She turned back and looked at me. I got out of the vehicle and walked up to her. I put my arms around her waist and kissed her tenderly on the lips. I didn't want to be apart from her again. I removed my lips and looked at her. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. I wiped them away with my thumb and kissed her lightly on the forehead. She looked up at me.
"I don't want to leave you again, Billie Joe." She said to me. As I sighed I held her tighter as she rested her head on my chest. "We can always see each other again," I started "I have to go to the mall again tomorrow, so we can hang out then." Her tears began to wet my shirt. She looked into my eyes again. She let out a sigh.
"I love you, Adrienne Nesser." I said to her while looking into her eyes.
"I love you too, Billie Joe Armstrong." She replied. All of a sudden, mom honked.
"Come on Billie Joe," she started yelling "I'm not going to sit on my ass with the car running for the rest of my life!" I turned my head to face her. "Can't you fucking see I'm in the fucking middle of fucking something!?!" I yelled to her. Mom didn't mind the swearing for some reason.
I turned back to Adrienne. I gave her one more kiss on the lips then released her from my arms. She started walking off. Then I realised that I still had my stuff in the house. I turned back to mom to tell her that I had some stuff to get. I quickly grabbed the stuff I wanted then ran back to the car and shoved them in the boot.
We started driving back home. It was night time now. As we were driving, I was staring out the window. The only thoughts I had was of Adrienne. Every time I saw her, she would burn the misery inside me whenever I was depressed. I was glad that I met her. She was the only girl I've ever loved who wasn't a Nazi or my cousin or anything shitty like that.
We finally reached our house. I got out and ran straight to my room and closed the door. I didn't bother getting the crap out of the boot. I sat on my bed and started at my walls. I would see pictures of her in my mind and I was thinking about the good times we had. I held my breath and closed my eyes and started dreaming about her (coz she's 2000 light years away=P) I had nothing better to do other than have sex with her. I continued dreaming through the rest of the night...
***Adrienne's Point of View***
I walked into the house behind Mike's home. It felt kinda empty without Billie Joe. I went upstairs and sat on the bed. The only thing on it was a couple of blankets and my cell phone. I looked at the screen on my phone and noticed that it said '1 missed call'. I picked it up and checked who it was.
It was my ex-boyfriend; Taylor.
The one who dumped me and left me homeless.
I put the phone back down and looked at the wall. A few minutes later, my cell rang.
"Hello, who is this?" I asked.
"Adrienne, it's me! Taylor!" I froze. "I'm so glad to talk to you again! Where are you?" Taylor asked on the other end.
"I'm at my friend's house. I live in a house behind him," I said to him. There was silence. He didn't say anything after that. "Um, are you still there?" I asked.
"Do you have a thing going with that guy?" he asked me in a slightly pissed voice.
"No!" I raised my voice a bit "We are just friends!" there was silence again. I heard him sigh.
"How about we meet again tomorrow?" he asked me. I was shocked when he said that. I swallowed my pride.
"Um, I'm going to the mall tomorrow with a friend. Sorry we can't hang together." I said to him. I heard him gasped in excitement.
"I'm going to the mall tomorrow too!" he said "we can see each other then! Well, goodnight!" he hung up. I held the phone in my hand. It dropped out of my hand and fell onto the fluffy rug Billie Joe bought me. I can't see Taylor tomorrow! I was going to hang out with my boyfriend, Billie Joe!
I am so fucking screwed...
"Thank you for doing that, Billie Joe!" she said as her hug became tighter. I looked at her with a confused look on my face. I pulled away from the hug and looked into her eyes.
