My encounter with Green Day, chapter 18
Negative. I sighed and put the strip in the trash and went out. "Well?" Jakob asked.
"Nothing."
"Maybe next time."
"Yeah." I looked around for a second before flopping on the couch.
"Don't feel bad, it'll happen. It just takes time." He also flopped down.
"I don't feel bad, just...disappointed. But it's okay. You're right, it'll happen."
When Billie got home I told him. He seemed normal about it. I didn't know what normal was... How were people supposed to act when they found out they weren't pregnant? I had bleached my hair and went to bed as a blonde. "I like it," Billie said, curling a strand around his finger.
"Blech, I don't."
"Then why'd you dye it?"
"It's going blue tomorrow."
"Cool," he smiled at me and turned out the light. "Night babe."
"Night."
The next day I woke up early and decided to dye my hair. I got out of bed and walked downstairs to find Jakob awake in the kitchen. "Woah," I laughed. "What's up Jake? Why ya up so early?"
"School."
"Oh, yeah...that. Well have fun. I'm gonna go dye my hair!" I ran out of the room and into the bathroom.
20 minutes later I was sitting on the couch with a shower cap on my head so the dye didn't touch anything when Billie Joe came downstairs. "Hey babe. Dying it now?"
"Yup."
"How long?"
"'Bout 45 minutes left."
"Cool. Be right back babe." He ran into the kitchen and came back a moment later with a cup of coffee. "So... you need to take a shower to get that shit out right?"
"Yeah..."
"What do ya say we have another go at it?" I laughed,
"You sound like it's some sort of competition or sport! Billie, I'd love to. It's nothing you have to ask permission to do."
"Well, little miss innocent virgin, I thought you might like it if I asked."
"Well, thank you for being nice. And yeah, you can come for a shower."
45 minutes later I walked up the stairs slowly, Billie following closely. "Hmm, maybe you should wait till the dye is out..." I said as I undressed. He didn't answer though, he just kissed me. I smiled and stripped the rest of my clothing before running some hot water. He also got undressed and got into the shower. I rinsed the dye out and turned back to him. He leaned over and kissed me hard on the lips before pressing me against the shower wall.
When we were finished we got out and he wrapped a towel around me. "What a gentleman!" I laughed.
"Anything for you, babe." He kissed me again before wrapping a towel around himself and leaving the bathroom. I dried my hair and body before getting dressed and leaving the bathroom. I put on some eyeliner and brushed my hair in my room before going downstairs to find Billie sitting in the living room watching TV. He looked up and smiled when I came in. "Your hair looks great," he complimented.
"Awe, thanks." I sat beside him and looked at what he was watching. "The Simpsons? Really, Billie Joe, I thought you were older than that."
"Shut up," he laughed. I smiled at him and hugged him. "Uh, this is random," he said hugging me back.
"I need a reason to hug you?"
"No."
"Good." Three days later I re-took the test. It was positive. I was pregnant...
"Nothing."
"Maybe next time."
"Yeah." I looked around for a second before flopping on the couch.
"Don't feel bad, it'll happen. It just takes time." He also flopped down.
