Human Medicine, chapter 4
As soon as Jem was back in the kitchen she heard someone enter the house, tow males. She set her tea sown and listened to the door.
"Yeah but when? We're banned! We can't go back," one voice said.
"umm, but we could sneak in, they probably aren't even looking for us," Jem could have sworn she's heard that voice before. She opened the kitchen door to be face to face with a tall, skinny brown haired man and a shorter stockier man. Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool.
"Uh... who are you?" Tre asked, eyeing suspiciously .
"uh... I'm Mr Armstrong's babysitter" Jem said shyly.
"oh, in that case, hi I'm Mike and he's Tre" Mike said with a smile.
"Jem" she said simply shaking hands with both.
Billie Joe entered the kitchen at 5 pm to see Jem, Tre and Mike sitting around the dining table laughing and talking. He realized he hadn't been noticed so he decided to hide and watch. Jem was special, she knew him too well. He watched as her eyes lit up when she laughed.
After about 10 mins, Jem, Tre and Mike heard something hit the wooden floor with a thud and then "Shit " through clenched teeth. Billie Joe appeared. He had knocked the cordless phone off the wall mount and once it was replaced on the wall Billie Joe edged into the room with a sheepish expression.
"oh Billie Joe, how you feeling?" Jem asked, standing up to make him a drink.
"much better, thank you" he said, smiling. Jem's knees temporarily gave way but she was able to hide it well.
Jem turned round to hand Billie Joe his tea. He accepted the cup but Jem couldn't take her hands away because Billie had put his hands on hers. Tre and Mike were talking at the table and didn't notice that Billie Joe ad Jem were staring, unblinkingly into each others eyes.
Jem managed to tare her eyes away from Billie's green ones and looked down at their hands. Billie also noticed their hands.
"Oh I'm sorry" he apologized.
"no, no, it's ok" Jem said over the top of Billie's sorries.
Billie Joe pulled away his hands and then Jem put the hot tea down on the counter. Silence filled the room as Billie Joe and Jem looked at each other, Tre and Mike watched on interestingly.
"uh... uh... shouldn't... .shouldn't we go and pick up Jakob?" Jem mumbled.
"oh... oh... yes we should do that, um, now" Billie stuttered in reply.
Tre smiled and looked at Mike who smiled knowingly back.
"OK!" Billie suddenly said loudly, looking at Tre and Mike.
"We are going to pick up Jakob, wanna come?"
"uh yea why not." Mike said standing up.
"We gotta do some shopping too" Jem said disdainfully at the food on the counter.
"Ok come on then" Billie Joe said.
"Ok, oh, lemme get my purse" Jem said, she ran up the huge staircase and collected her purse. She hurried back and slid down the banister for the second time that day.
Billie Joe, Mike and Tre stood with open mouths in the foyer watching the babysitter slide gracefully then neatly slide off and walk past them out through the front door.
"She's as odd as you are!" Tre exclaimed to Billie.
Billie Joe didn't reply but smiled, it was going to be an interesting few weeks.
"Yeah but when? We're banned! We can't go back," one voice said.
