*At Billie's House*
"Hey Billie?"
"Yeah, Bianca?"
"You ever wondered what would happen if we weren't together anymore?" she asked softly.
"Er, not really. Why?" He replied seemingly clueless.
"Just...no reason." Bianca replied snuggling a little closer to Billie than she had been before. The couple continued watching Girl Interrupted, both lost in thought about the akward exchange that had just happened. And somehow, while thinking about himself and Bianca, Skyler slipped into Billie's thoughts, and he didn't know why.
*Skyler's House"
Seeing as how she'd skipped breakfast as usual, and then lunch to write a song, Skyler decided to make herself something to eat. She had come to an empty house, since her mom worked strange hours at the local hospital, and her dad lived in Nebraska. So, after eating the peanut butter sandwich she'd slaved over for an entire five minutes, she figured she had about three or four hours to fuck around. Skyler chose to go to the park, and since her house was a little far from there, she drove.
After getting situated in her hand me down black Ford Taurus and putting the key into the ignition, Skyler's thoughts went straight to Billie Joe and why he asked her to his party. She remembered then how difficult it was not to get lost in those green eyes..... Ok, Skyler, snap out of it and drive dammit! Though she's managed to stop her daydreaming, she was still puzzled as to why in hell and heaven and inbetween he's want some wierd loner girl like her at his party. It really made no sense to her.
As she pulled up into a parking space, Skyler could see a reddish-brown haired figure of a boy around her age sitting, head down, on a swing. Upon exiting her car and nearing the swing set, she could see he had on black jeans and a Ramones Rocket To Russia t-shirt. He hadn't heard her approaching, but looked up quickly at the sound of someone sitting on the swing next to his. The boy was Billie. Though she didn't know him well, Skyler was still concerned.
"Billie Joe, you ok?" she asked. Suddenly feeling stupid for thinking he'd tell her what was up, she waited for him to tell her to leave him alone or go away, but instead,
"Yeah, I guess. Things just got a little wierd between me and my girlfriend today, and she left right after we finished watching our movie. It's kinda bugging me." he confessed.
Shocked that she'd gotten and answer, but intrested in trying to help, Skyler pressed the issue cautiously. "What does weird mean?"
"Well, she asked me if I'd ever thought about us not being together, and when i asked why, she just told me no reason." He looked back down at his lap. "I think she might wanna end it" he said sadly.
Feeling strangley comfortable talking with Billie, Skyler tried to comfort him.
"Oh, come on Billie. You know she likes you a lot. It was probably just a what if. Like, what if polka music took over MTV?"
This made him laugh.
Damn he's cute when he does that. No! Shut up Skyler! He and Bianca are not breaking up!
"As long as she hasn't said 'we need to talk about us'" He looked back up at her now with slightly raised eyebrows.
"Cuz then you're in trouble." She explained.
"Nah, she didn't say that. It's just bothering me is all." Billie also had no idea why he was confessing all this to Skyler, but they just felt so comfortable around each other, and neither one could explain it.
"Then no worries, yeah?" Skyler suddenly felt the urge to ruffle his hair, but settled for nudging his foot gently with her own, instead.
This caused Billie Joe to jump off his swing to face her, cross his arms, give a fake glare, and say" THAT HURT!"
"Drama queen." said Skyler, laughing.
"Oh, I'll get you for that!" But before he could do anything, Skyler was up and running past him yelling, "Gotta catch me first!" Billie whipped around and sped off after her. After a moment of high speed chasing, Billie called to her, causing Skyler to look back to find him running like what can only be described as a mentally retarded chipmunk.
This had the desired effect, causing the girl to fall to the ground laughing. Pleased with himself, Billie Joe attacked, tickling her like there was no tommorrow. Pleading him to stop between howls of laughter, Skyler couldn't have been any happier. Deciding she'd had enough, Billie finally stopped and lay beside her. Skyler decided to be bold, well at least bold for her.
"Hey Billie?"
"Yeah?"
"You wanna come to my house and hang out? I've got it to myself for a couple hours."
"Sure."
Since Billie Joe had walked to the park, they rode back to Skyler's in her car. On the way there, they found they had many things in common, movies, music, favorite foods, they both even played played Fender Stratocasters, though Billie was in a band called Sweet Children and Skyler wasn't in any.
Skyler had yet to tell him she also wrote songs, because she was a bit embarrased. The pair continued talking on thier way to the front door. Just as Skyler was about to put the key into the lock, they heard.......

"Yeah, Bianca?"
"You ever wondered what would happen if we weren't together anymore?" she asked softly.
