Don't Leave Me, chapter 12
~*~*~Michelle's POV~*~*~
The music was so loud, I was surprised that the neighbors hadn't called the cops yet. I was walking around with a beer in my hand. Then someone slammed into me.
"Oops, I'm really sorry. Let me help clean that up," The guy said. My beer had spilt all over me and the floor.
"It's ok. Don't worry about it." I looked up. It was Jason White. He smiled. Our eyes locked. I immediately felt this weird bubbly feeling in my stomach. I smiled back at him. He grabbed a few napkins of the table we was situated next to us and handed them to me.
"Thanks" I said shyly. After we cleaned up all the alcohol, he turned to me.
"I know this sounds kinda weird...but, do you wanna go for some coffee. I know that we are at a party, but we can come back afterwards." He asked. I couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah, that sounds great" I said.
~*~*~Natalie's POV~*~*~
I couldn't seem to find Billie Joe. I hadn't seen him for a while. I looked everywhere in the house except upstairs. When I got to the staircase, I had to push a guy out of my way. He was just standing there, he looked like he was high.
"Nat, whatcha doing?" I turned around and saw Tre standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm looking for Billie Joe. Have you seen him?" I asked.
"No, I haven't. But, I can't find Rachel either." He said and started to come up the stairs.
"Ok, we can look for them together" I suggested. Tre nodded and stuck up his thumbs. I slowly opened me and Billie Joe's bedroom door. I couldn't believe what happened next.
Right when the door opened. Rachel pushed her body up against Billie Joe and kissed him. He pushed her off him as quick as he could.
"Get the fuck off of me you stupid whore!" He yelled and wiped his mouth. Then, they noticed me and Tre standing there, wide eyed.
"Oh my god, Tre -" Rachel started. But Tre held up his hands and motioned for her to shut up.
"Rachel, get out of here." He said harshly.
"No! Let me explain!" She said and tried to hug him, but he pushed her away.
"Just leave. This is an obvious fucking statement, but, we're over. I never liked you, I don't know why I stayed with you for so long. Go." He said and smiled.
"Whatever...I was getting sick of you anyway!" She said. She shoved me with her shoulder on the way out the door and turned around.
"This isn't over" She whispered in my ear. What the fuck?!?! Was all I could think.
"Fuck you!!!" I yelled. I couldn't think of anything else to say. I made sure she left the house. I looked down the stairs. She slammed the front door behind her.
"Tre, are you ok?" I asked him and put my hand on his shoulder. He nodded and looked at me like I was stupid.
"I've been trying to get rid of her for a long time now!" He said. I laughed. He winked at me and went downstairs. I looked over at Billie Joe who was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. I frowned and sat down next to him.
"I'm so sorry" He said quietly. I put my head on his shoulder.
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything. She is psychotic and has problems." I said simply. He looked up and smiled at me.
"I love you" He whispered into my ear and kissed my head.
~*~*~Ashley's POV~*~*~
I saw Tre coming down the stairs. He looked very excited.
"Hey Tre. Why are you so...happy?" I asked him.
"Oh, so you think I'm not normally happy?" He folded his arms and pretended to be hurt.
"I mean, you just seem like something really good just happened. And I wanna know what!" I said.
"Rachel just kissed Billie Joe!" He said excitedly. I stared at him for a second.
"That's a good thing?" I was confused.
"No, well yes! Now it means that I don't have to be with Rachel anymore!" He said and threw his arms up in triumph. I laughed. I was so happy to hear that, I know it sounds mean, but I was.
"What happened between you and Rachel?" I asked him.
"She was a crazy bitch! I hated her so much." He replied.
"Why didn't you just break up with her?" I asked still kinda confused.
"Jeez...you ask alot of questions!" He said and smirked. I looked down and laughed.
"Sorry, I just wanna know what happened." I said and shrugged.
"So you're nosy!" He teased. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Cheeky too!" He pressed. I glared at him. Natalie and Billie Joe walked down the stairs. Nat smiled at me before she and Billie disappeared into the kitchen.
"I wanna show you something cool!" Tre said quietly, obviously not wanting anyone to hear him.
"Ok" I said. He grabbed my hand. I thought my heart was about to leap out of my chest. He then pulled me up the stairs behind him. He practically dragged me into Billie Joe and Natalie's bedroom.
"Ok, now what's so cool?!" I mimicked him.
"You are very very cheeky!" He giggled. I rolled my eyes playfully.
"What did you bring me up here for?" I asked him again.
"Ok ok! Watch..." He said and pulled a little flashlight thing out of his pocket. He pulled the covers down to the end of the bed. I already had an idea about what he was doing. I shook my head and chuckled. He pressed the little button and purple light cascaded from the device. A black light. He shined it over the bed. There were like tons of little spots, stains all over the surface.
"Woah!" Tre said, amazed.
"Natalie and Billie Joe are very, very naughty!" I wagged my finger. Tre put his flashlight away and we both fell to the floor in fits of laughter.
"You pervert! Do you carry around a black light wherever you go?!" I asked when I stopped laughing. He smiled mischievously at me.
"Never mind...please don't answer that" I said and gave him a disgusted look.
~*~*~Jason's POV~*~At Coffee Place~*~*~
Me and Michelle just ordered our coffee, we were now sliding into one of the booths towards the back.
"How long have you known Natalie?" I asked her.
"Oh god...since we were 5 years old!" She said.
"Wow" Was all I said. She nodded.
She had beautiful long, brown hair.
'What am I doing?! Lizz just broke up with me yesterday!' I though to myself.
'But, we are over. No more us. So, I have the right to date other people!' I though again. I glanced down at her left hand. No wedding ring. But she could still have a boyfriend. I quickly scolded myself for thinking those things. We quietly sipped our coffees.
"I over heard someone tonight, say that you and your girlfriend just broke up. I'm sorry about that" Michelle said. I could tell she just wanted to say something to break the silence.
"Thanks. But if I was still with her, then I probably wouldn't be here with you right now" I said. Crap, I don't know if that was a good thing to say or a bad thing!
"Oh so your saying this is a date?" She teased. I smiled.
"If it is...That would mean that you don't have a boyfriend" I said with a little excitement in my voice. She let out a small laugh.
"Ok, then it's a date" She smiled.
~*~*~Billie Joe's POV*~*~*Back at the party~*~*~
Me and Natalie were talking to Rob Cavallo, who just happened to be around Berkeley so he said he would stop by, when I saw some type of movement outside the window.
"Uhh...I'll be right back" I said to Nat and Rob. I pushed past some people and opened the back door. When I got outside, I was immediately engulfed in the cool, crisp air. I ignored it and strained my eyes in the direction of where I thought I saw something. Then, a dark shadowed figure jumped out of a bush about 10 feet away from me.
"Holy shit!' I yelled before I saw what I thought would attack me.
"Shut up!" The figure hissed. By now, I could clearly see what was standing in front of me. It was Rachel. Her arms extended in front of her. And in her pale, thin hands was a gun. It's muzzle pointed at my chest.
The music was so loud, I was surprised that the neighbors hadn't called the cops yet. I was walking around with a beer in my hand. Then someone slammed into me.
"Oops, I'm really sorry. Let me help clean that up," The guy said. My beer had spilt all over me and the floor.
