Angel Face, chapter 14
"YOU GUYS IT'S 12:30 PM GET UP!!!" Billie Joe and Morgan heard Tre yell through their door.
"Wow..we really did sleep late." Morgan said, as she sat up and streched.
"Yea.." Billie Joe mumbled, then rolled to the other side of the bed and fell back asleep.
"Billie Joe...get up.." Morgan said, as she shook Billie Joe, but got no response.
"Billie Joe!!" she said again, and she shook him harder.
"Fine then..if you aren't going to get up when I shake you, then I will just have to.." Morgan grabbed her water off of the table beside her bed, and dumped it on Billie's head.
"HEY!!" Billie said, falling out of bed.
"Sorry, you wouldn't wake up, you okay?" Morgan asked, as she looked over the side of the bed.
"Yea I'm fine, just freezing.." he said.
"No wonder, you don't have anything on but boxers." Morgan said, as she held out her hand to help Billie Joe up, but he ignored the gesture, and grabbed the side of the bed for support.
"Where's your shirt by the way.." Morgan said, looking around the room for a white t-shirt.
"Err..I think it's over there.." Billie Joe said, and went over to Morgan's dresser, and picked up his shirt off the top.
"Why'd you take it off?" Morgan said, now staring at Billie Joe's bare chest.
"Well, sleeping in the same bed with a person tends to get a little hot after a while." Billie Joe said as he smiled.
Morgan blushed, and got out of bed.
"YOU GUYS GET UP!!!" they heard Tre yell again.
"WE'RE COMING!!!" Morgan screamed.
Billie Joe and Morgan walked into the living room, only to see Tre putting shaving cream on a sleeping Mike.
"Tre..what the hell are you doing?" Morgan asked, whispering as to not wake Mike.
"Shh..I'm getting Mike back for dumping coke on me the other day."
"Oh ok.." Billie Joe said, as he watched Tre in progress.
Tre put shaving cream in Both of Mike's hands, then set a bucket of mud in front of him. He took two feathers, and tickled each side of Mike's face, Mike swatted at the feathers, smearing shaving cream all over his face.
Tre looked at Morgan and Billie, and put his finger to his lips. Mike was still sleeping.
"MIKE GET UP, WAKEY WAKEY!!!!" Tre yelled, and Mike stood up, stepping in the bucket of mud.
"What the hell?" he said, as he looked down to see what he was standing in, then he felt the shaving cream on his face.
"TRE YOU FUCKER!!!" he yelled, and began to chase Tre again, as they did the day before.
Morgan and Billie Joe erupted in uncontrollable laughter.
"They really have fun with each other huh?" Morgan said, wiping her eyes.
"Yea, they do." said Billie, and he switched sides with Morgan on the couch.
"And the point of that was..?" Morgan asked.
"Now I'm where the pillows are." he said, as he smirked.
"Look.." Morgan said giggling, while pointing to where Mike had left the muddy footprints.
Billie looked, and laughed, but then stopped when Morgan pushed him on his back.
"Now what are you up to?" Billie Joe asked, with a glint of mischief in his green eyes.
"Nothing." Morgan said, and began watching the tube, but staying on top of Billie Joe.
"You tease.." he said, and pushed her on her back.
The phone began to ring.
"Shit.." Billie Joe said, and got off of Morgan so she could answer the phone.
Morgan picked up the phone.
"Hello... I told you no... I'm not going... I'M STAYING HERE... GO TO HELL!!!"
Morgan slammed down the phone, and sat on the couch, her head against the back of the couch, and her hands over her eyes.
"Parents again...?" Billie Joe asked, wrapping his arms around her.
"Yeah... I'm not going. I'm not going, I'm staying here." Morgan reapeated over and over.
"Shh... it's okay." Billie said, hugging her tighter.
"Woah... what happened here?" Mike asked, as he walked into the room.
"Morgan's parents want her to move in with them.." Billie Joe answered.
"Morgan you can't. You remember what they used to do?" Mike said, now sitting down beside Morgan, his arms around her as well.
"What... Morgan tell me." Billie Joe said, with a worried look in his eyes.
"You didn't tell him?" Mike asked Morgan.
Morgan shook her head, and continued to cry silent tears.
"Morgan, please." Billie Joe said, lifting Morgan's head up, so her eyes were level with his.
Morgan nodded her head, and lifted her shirt half way up, just enough to see the bruises on her back.
"Oh my god..I'll kill them." Billie Joe said, with an expression on his face of sadness, and pure anger.
"Billie no... just as long as I stay away from them, I don't get hurt." she said, and sat back down, and Mike wrapped his arms around her once more.
"Just..why'd you tell Mike, and not me?"
"I told Mike a long time ago... right before I started cutting."
Mike's eyes widened.
"You cut?" he said, and his voice cracked.
Morgan shook her head. "Not anymore, I used to. I started about a month after I told you about my parents."
"When did you stop?" he asked, letting go of her, so she could hug Billie Joe.
"About a week ago..a few days before Billie found out.." she said, as tears fell down her cheeks.
Mike looked at Billie Joe.
"How'd you find out?" he asked.
"Found razors... saftey pins..." he said, struggling to talk, because Morgan was hugging his chest tight enough to cut off his oxygen. He pulled away slightly.
"Sorry," Morgan said, realizing she was hurting him,and loosened her grip.
Billie shook his head. "Nothing for you to be sorry about."
Morgan smiled slightly, and put her head on his shoulder.
"Should..do you want us to, I mean, to tell Tre?"
"No need." they heard Tre say, and they saw him walking out from behind the door.
He went over to Morgan, and put his arm around her.
Morgan smiled at him, silently thanking him for evesdropping. He understood, and returned the smile.
"Wow..we really did sleep late." Morgan said, as she sat up and streched.
"Yea.." Billie Joe mumbled, then rolled to the other side of the bed and fell back asleep.
"Billie Joe...get up.." Morgan said, as she shook Billie Joe, but got no response.
