Things could Get Better, chapter 1
Hey guys so this is my FIRST STORY! Anyway i'm kinda a shitty writer so like feel free to send me a message if it sux or if it doesn't!.
Billie Joe stared in shock and sadness as the three coffins were lowered into the ground. His life, the people he loved were so suddenly taken from him. His wife and sons had been in a horrible plane crash on their way to visit him, Billie Joe at one of his shows, in a crash that killed over 50 other people.
It was too much to bear. He couldn't take it anymore. Slowly he turned and left the sight, tears streaming down his face. He was not looking where he was going he didn't even care, there was no point in living anymore..... No wait he had to stop thinking like that. There was still Green Day and his friends and fans they would be there for him. When suddenly... BAM he collided with someone.
"Oh sorry"- he said looking at the ground.
"No problem" said a voice, he looked up to see a woman around 30, she had long black hair, and beautiful eyes that were hidden with tears. He couldn't help but to ask..
"What's wrong?" he asked cautiously.
"Umm nothing" she replied simply but then burst into tears. "My mother just passed away ok!" then she quickly turned to leave, but Billie Joe caught her arm, "please its ok, I know what its like to lose someone u love" he said the tears starting for him again, but he pushed them away, for some reason he felt like he had to be strong for this person.
She didn't ask about what he had just said. "Oh i'm sorry," she said after a few seconds. "I didn't introduce myself, I'm Alex" putting her hand out. "Billie Joe." Shaking her hand. " Umm do you wanna go get a drink or something, I need to take my mind off a few things?" What was he doing! He thought. He had just lost his family and now he was practically asking this person out! But somehow it felt right; he needed something else to think about.
"Billie Joe? Billie Joe!" said Alex trying to get his attention. "Oh what?" he asked still lost in his own little world. "I said sure to getting a drink"
"O ok" said Billie. "Follow me" as he led her into the parking lot to his BMW.
They drove to the nearest Starbucks and didn't talk too much on the way. After they each got a coffee, they sat down at a table and for some reason Billie was starting to feel better, when suddenly.
"May I ask what happened?" Alex asked quietly. So Billie explained all that had happened with his family.
"OMG I am so sorry!" she said taking his hand, her eyes a little watery. "R u ok?"
"Yes i'm better now, being with you has helped" Oh GOD did he just say that out loud?! He looked up and saw her blush. He quickly changed the subject. "So enough about me, what about ur life?" he asked.
"Well like I said my mother has recently passed away, it really shook me and my siblings up but other then that. I work here in Oakland as a chef, actually I own my own restaurant!" She explained
"Wow that's great! What it's called?" Asked Billie
"Well its um called "wonderland" a bit cheesy I know but its not all that bad" she said.
"Not that bad! I've actually eaten there before with my friends it was awesome!" Billie Exclaimed
She blushed again, and looked at him, He had dark, spiky hair, and beautiful green eyes. And he was really nice, but he seemed so sad. Maybe she could change that. She shook away her thoughts; He had just lost his wife for god's sake! "But what do u do?" She asked him
He thought about this for a second. It wasn't everyday that he met someone who didn't know who he was. "Well umm I m in a band, and we're getting pretty big now (which was an exaggeration seeing as they had just released American Idiot!)" He said simply
"Wow that awesome!" Said Alex but then looked at her watch. " Oh shit I got to go I have to go to work! Sorry!"
"No its no problem but wait" Billie said scribbling down his number on a napkin and giving it to her. "Call me sometime" he said as she left, desperately hoping she would.
