Billie The Bully, chapter 14
Lucy awoke to the sound of loud laughter, a guitar being plucked and a whistle.
She groaned and sat up, then flopped back down again. Her head hurt like a bitch, and yet the horrible harsh noises continued.
'Shut uuuup! ' She groaned.
The noises stopped. She looked and saw it was Billie with the guitar, Mike laughing and Tre blowing the whistle.
'Morning sleeping beauty. ' Tre said loudly.
'God, what's with all the racket?! ' Lucy snapped. 'I was fucking sleeping here. '
Mike smirked. 'Someone's got a hangover... '
'I have not. ' Lucy barked. 'I only had a few... '
Her stomach lurched. 'Oh shit. ' She clutched her stomach and motioned madly with her hands. Billie grabbed the bin from Mike's room (even though most of the crap was just pushed under the bed, his mom still insisted every room needed a bin), and thrust it under her just as she threw up.
Tre went to get her a drink as Mike held her hair back.
'First hangover or what? ' Mike smiled sympathetically.
'Uhh. ' Lucy groaned.
'Doesn't help with the time of the month, does it? ' Tre said as he came back in with a big glass of water.
Lucy merely moaned again in response.
The vomiting stopped, thankfully, and she sat with her back against the wall drinking the water.
Only then did she start to think about last night.
She'd kissed Billie.
Shiiit.
What if Mike and Tre hadn't appeared? Billie had taken his top off, for God's sake, so he obviously thought something was gonna happen. Was he just like that guy that thought she was an easy target?
No. Not Billie Joe. He cared, didn't he?
She watched him as he quietly played his guitar. She didn't know what had made her kiss him, but somehow she figured it was more than just wanting to know what a cigarette tasted like.
He'd been a bully, and now he was her friend. An enemy, now an ally...
She thought he was cute. God, they all were. Mike was sweet and kind and fun, and Tre was, well, Tre, wacky but sensitive.
She sighed and took another gulp of water.
'Did you enjoy the party, then, guys? ' She asked.
They all stared at her. She would've laughed, had she not been hungover and had a lot of stuff in her head.
'Um... Yeah... ' Mike said.
'It was a blast. ' Tre said. He was trying to be his usual enthusiastic self but Lucy could tell her question was bugging him.
'How about you Billie? ' She asked.
They continued to stare at her.
'I enjoyed it. ' He said slowly. 'It was a lot of fun. '
Lucy nodded. She didn't meet his eyes.
'I think we should talk about last night. ' Billie said quietly.
Lucy jumped. She'd been sat in Mike's bed, thinking, and the boys had gone downstairs. Obviously Billie needed to talk.
'OK. ' She said.
He sat on the bed with her, resting his back against the wall like she did.
'Did it really feel wrong? ' Billie asked after a while. He looked at his hands as he spoke, not meeting her gaze. 'Because, LuLu... It... It didn't feel wrong to me. Not at all. '
Lucy sighed. 'When I said that, Bill, I mean, I was pissed, for a start, and... '
'And what? '
'And you're my friend. ' Lucy said. 'It was weird. '
'I'm... Sorry. ' Billie muttered.
'You shouldn't apologize. ' Lucy sighed. 'I was the one that kissed you. '
Billie laughed. 'Because you wanted a fag, right? Well, you got one. '
Lucy smiled. 'Silly bastard. '
'So... Are we...? ' Bilie said. 'What happens now? '
Lucy looked at her feet. 'I dunno. '
Billie reached across and put his hand over his. She looked up at him, and he was about to say something, when Tre and Mike burst in.
She groaned and sat up, then flopped back down again. Her head hurt like a bitch, and yet the horrible harsh noises continued.
'Shut uuuup! ' She groaned.
