Don't Leave Me, chapter 5
~*~Natalie's POV~*~
The week went by really slowly, but i was finally able to go home. I had to wear a cast on my left arm and i bandage wrapped around my torso, where the broken ribs were. In 2 months i could take off the cast, and in a week take off the bandage around my ribs.
I opened the car door when we pulled into the driveway. Billie helped me get out of the car and Rachel walked infront of me inorder to open the door.
"I have one arm that is perfectly capable of opening the door" I said when Rachel pushed open the door and stepped aside to let me in.
"I know, but i want to help you, i guess" Rachel said and smiled. I smiled back at her.
"Home sweet home!" I said and walked into the kitchen. Tre, Mike, and Maggie were there. I gave them all hugs.
"Your finally home! The house was so empty and quiet without you" Maggie said. I smiled.
'Thank God im home!' i thought to myself.
The rest of the night was filled with booze, music, and laughter. It was like a party...except there was only me, Billie Joe, Mike, Tre, Maggie, and Rachel. It was 3:30 in the morning and Billie Joe said he was going to go home. He wasnt very drunk, i wouldn't let him drive home if he was.
"Bye baby" i said to him and gave him a quick kiss.
"Bye, I'll come over tomorow to help you around the house" He said, Maggie and Rachel had to go to work, so i would be all alone.
"Oh, yeah. Ok, bye" i said and he walked out the door.
I was the only one up. Mike and Tre decided to leave about an hour ago, and Maggie and Rachel, since they were working in the morning, went to bed along time ago. The house was a bit of a mess, so i started to clean up a little bit. I finally got tired and went to bed.
The next morning i woke up because the phone was ringing. I picked up the cordless one next to my bed.
*"Hello" I asked groggily.
"Hey sweeti" It was obviously Billie Joe.
"Oh, hi" i said sitting up in my bed.
"You sound like you just woke up or something" He said.
"Yeah, i did" I said.
"When do you want me to come over today?" He asked.
"Oh, umm... anytime is good" I said yawning.
"Ok, then i'll be right over" He replied.
"Ok, see you soon." i said
"Bye babe" He said and hung up.*
I got out of bed and went downstairs. There was a note on the table.
*"Hey Nat. You were asleep so me and Rachel didnt want to wake you up. I think Billie Joe will come over today, so you will have some assistance. You two be good while we are gone! -Maggie"*
I laughed. It wasnt like I could do anything with my broken arm. A few minutes later, i heard the doorbell ring.
When I opened the door, Billie Joe stood there with a bouque of red roses.
"Oh, my gosh, Billie these are beautiful!" i said as he handed them to me. He leaned in and kissed me.
"I am just so happy you are home again, even though it was only a week" He said and kissed me again.
"I love them, thank you so much!" I walked into the kitchen and pulled a vase out of one of the cabinets.
"Let me do that" He said taking the vase from me. I smiled at him.
"Thank you" i said watching him fill it with water and put the flowers in it.
"Urg...it sucks so bad having to wear this cast!" i said looking sadly down at my arm.
"Well...i guess its not that bad. I mean, people bring me beautiful flowers" I said and kissed him.
"What do you want to do?" He asked me.
"Oh, I just remember that I need to go to the grocery store to get food" She said.
"Ok, get your stuff. Let's go!" He said and smacked my ass to make me go faster.
"OW! Hey, do you want to cripple me even more?!" I said jokingly while rubbing my butt. Billie Joe laughed.
"No, I guess not" He said and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Well, like you said before. Let's Go!" I said and smacked his butt.
"Shit! Ouch!" He said.
"You did it to me first!" I said while running out the house and into the car before he would do something i would probably regret. He came out of the house laughing, and got into the car.
"What's so funny?" i asked while he pulled out of the driveway. And that is another thing that really sucked: I couldnt drive for 2 months!
"Just thinking about something" He said. When we got into the supermarket, I headed down to the ice-cream section thing. Billie followed me. He opened one of the freezer doors and grabbed about 5 tubs of chocolate ice-cream.
"Billie Joe. No way am I bring home all of that ice-cream" I said with my good hand on my hip.
"Why not?" He asked looking and sounding like a 4 year old.
"Because we are never going to eat that much! And if we do we'll get really fat!" I said trying to supress a laugh.
"Plleeeaasse?!" He wined. I couldn't believe i was about to give in to those big green eyes, but then i caught myself.
"No, we can bring home one of those" I said while trying to get the other four tubs back into the freezer.
"Fine" He said. I couldnt help but laugh at him.
"Ummm...excuse me?" I heard a voice say. I turned around to see a girl, about 15, looking at Billie Joe.
"Are you Billie Joe Armstrong?" She asked excitedly.
"Yes, that is mui" He answered.
"Can I have an autograph?" She asked digging in her bag for a paper and pen.
"Sure" Billie said taking the pen and then paper from her.
"What's your name?" He asked her.
"Sam" she replied. Then she looked up at me.
"Hey, aren't you that woman on the cover of that magazine with Billie Joe? The one about him leaving the bar with you?" She asked. I nodded nervously, afraid of what she might say next.
"The only thing that is true in that article, is that I left the bar with her." Billie Joe interupted.
"Yeah, I never thought it was true" She said. I smiled, so did Billie Joe.
"Well, i better get going. Thanks for the autograph. Bye you guys!" She said and walked away.
"She was pretty cool" I said. Billie smiled and nodded.
We left the store with everything that we needed, and went home.
I was reaching up to one of the higher cabinets to put something away.
"I like that tattoo you have there" Billie said, pointing to my lower back. It was a skull and cross bones, the skull had a crown and there were roses entangled around the cross bones.
"Thank you" I said continueing to put things away, which was a little hard because of my cast. But at least i had Billie Joe helping me.
The next couple months were very frustrating and annoying. I just couldnt get used to wearing my cast. But finally, I was on my way to the doctors office to get it off. When we got there, i got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Billie Joe followed me. Once again, Rachel and Maggie were working and Tre and Mike stayed at our house. So Billie drove me.
"Yay! I'm finally getting this damn thing off!" I said excitedly before i opened the door leading into the building. We walked in and took our seats in the waiting room. Billie Joe held my hand. About 10 minutes later, a doctor walked in and called my name.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Billie Joe asked me.
"Uhh..no it's ok. I'll be out soon" I said and gave him a kiss.
"Ok, see you soon" He said and smiled.
I followed the doctor into a small room. He told me to sit on this examining table type thing. Then a few minutes later, he had all the things he needed to take off my cast.
"That guy that was with you in the waiting room seems so familiar" The woman said examing my arm. I smiled to myself.
"Yeah, he gets that alot" I replied. She looked at me strangly. She then started working on getting that God forsaken piece of plaster crap off my arm. Finally, after what seemed like eternity, it was off! I was free again! I thanked the doctor and ran out of the room and into the waiting room to Billie Joe. He jumped up and hugged me. We walked out of the place with his arm around me.
"I almost forgot what you look like without the cast!" He joked. I nudged his side. We got into the car and drove home.
I walked into the house, Mike greeted me with a hug.
"Hey! You look so different without the cast!" He also said. I didnt really understand. I mean it was only two months.
"Yeah, Billie said the same thing" I said. Then Tre walked into the room.
"Hey Tre" I said and hugged him too.
"Yay! The annoying cast is gone!" He said throwing his arms up in victory. I laughed.
After Maggie and Rachel got home that night, we all hung out and partied. That's what we normally do when everyone is at our house anyway. Billie Joe got pretty drunk, so i told everyone that I was going to take him home and stay the night there.
"Bye Tre. You and Rachel be good tonight" I said teasingly and hugged him.
"Bye, Nat" Tre said. I laughed at him. I said good bye to everyone else and lead Billie Joe to the car.
When we got to his house, I had to help him through the front door.
"I want to make sweet love to you!" He slurred when we got upstairs. I laughed at his wasted state.
"Not tonight babe, besides i think you will be spending most of your time in the bathroom" I said and helped him into his room. He fell on the bed. He was asleep almost as soon as his head hit the silk pillow. I changed into the PJ's i had brought, and layed down next to him. I smiled to myself about what he had said before. I wondered if that wasn't the booze talking. Soon after, laying down i was also fast asleep.
The week went by really slowly, but i was finally able to go home. I had to wear a cast on my left arm and i bandage wrapped around my torso, where the broken ribs were. In 2 months i could take off the cast, and in a week take off the bandage around my ribs.
