Forever Greener, chapter 8
The two of them sat in silence, waiting for the other to speak. They sat at opposite sides of the couch, and didn’t budge.
‘Well are you going to speak?’, Tre asked them.
‘I’m waiting for her to speak’, Billie said obnoxiously.
‘Well I’m not speaking. You were the who got yourself into it’, Steph said spitefully back.
They continued to sit in silence. Arms crossed, they waited for the other still to speak. This was getting nowhere. It was hopeless. Steph turned around to face Billie.
‘Alright’, Steph started ‘I’m sorry I snapped before. I shouldn’t of’.
‘So your apologizing?’, Billie asked, still acting bitter.
‘NO, why should I be apologizing? You were with my sister’, Steph screamed.
‘I was drugged. I didn’t know where I was’, Billie yelled back.
‘Sure, but you just happened to lock lips with my sister’, Steph continued. Both of them now were standing, hot and anxious of what might happen next.
‘But I told you, I didn’t mean for that to happen. I didn’t want that to happen. If I could reverse back in time, and erase it I would, but I can’t’, Billie told her, in the most calm tone he could manage to use. He picked up her hand and held if for a minute. Steph pulled back.
‘No alright this time, your sweet charm isn’t going to get you anywhere’, she said frustratingly, as she stormed her way back to her room.
‘That’s it. I should just give up’, Billie said, slumping back down onto the couch.
Tre and Mike sat back down next to him. They turned the TV off.
‘Listen, you just have to show her, that’s she still means something to you’, Mike told Billie.
‘Its not gonna work Mike. She’s serious about this’, Billie whispered, rolling he’s eyes and tilting his head back.
‘Well then you wont mind if I ask her out’, Tre said cheekily, trying to get to Billie.
‘No, Tre you cant. I’m still gonna like her, even if she decides she hates me cos of this’, Billie muttered back.
‘Well if you still like her, go tell her and don’t back down until she listens to you’, Tre told him, pushing him up. Billie stood and waked away to his room, slamming the door behind him.
‘Should we talk to them?’, Tre asked Mike.
‘No just leave them, they have to sort it out themselves’.
In her bedroom, Steph had sat herself down and was wiping the last of her tears away. She thought about what Billie might have been thinking. She cleaned her head of those thoughts and then, thought about what her sister was thinking. She got up and locked her door, sliding the key underneath. When Billie thought it was time for them to talk, he would eventually open up the door. She sat herself down again, and eventually slowly fell asleep.
In the other room, Billie was thinking the same thing. He took out, he’s lyric book and started writing anything he could think of but it was no use. The only thing he could think about was Steph. Pages were everywhere, eventually to he fell asleep. Mike and Tre decided to check on them both, first going to Billie’s room. In his lap, they found the last thing he had written...........
I'll Go For Miles
Till I Find You
You Say You Want To Leave Me
But You Can't Choose
I've Gone Thru Pain
Every Day And Night
I Feel My Mind Is Going Insane
Something I Can't Fight
Don't Leave Me
Don't Leave Me
‘What should we do with them?’, Tre asked.
‘Let him finish’, Mike said, as they walked out and closed the door on him…..
