Lost For Words, chapter 8
‘Yeah, just hang on’, Steph told him running over to him. His breathing pattern was unsteady and more tears seemed to be coming out the longer Steph took.
‘How long have you been down here?’, Steph asked him, fiddling with the ropes tied on his hands.
‘Too long, just untie me........please......’, Tre asked her.
‘Yeah just wait’, Steph let out seriously. She was focused on undoing the knots Mike had done up in the first place.
‘Thank the lord’, Tre proclaimed, sarcastically. They giggled, not noticing or hearing eachother do so.
‘There’, Steph said, pulling the last of the rope tie away, and throwing it behind her.
‘OMG I’m FREE’, Tre screamed happily before he relaxed.
‘Are you alright? I mean, I should go’, Steph said, getting up and walking away from him. She didn’t want to be hurt again, and god knows what Tre might do, after all.
‘No wait’, Tre told her, jumping onto her, and hugging her, forcing her to fall to the ground, ‘I wanna talk to you’, he finished.
‘About what?’, Steph asked from underneath him. ‘At least this time, he’s not drunk’, She thought, thinking the worst of what could happen. Tre’s tears, starting to fall from his face and hit hers.
‘I really, really do love you’, he said pausing, ‘But you......you look really happy with Billie and I don’t want to split you two up’, he confessed to her.
‘Tre you wouldn’t be. Billie and I are just well fun. There is nothing serious going on’, Steph informed him.
‘No Billie loves you. He cares about you. He......he thinks it’s more than it really is. Please, please don’t hurt Billie like I hurt you’, Tre asked her.
‘Tre you didn’t hurt me, it might seem like it, but the way I see it, it was kinda under control and you know I wouldn’t hurt anyone’, Steph told him, moving closer to kiss him. Tre moved away slightly.
‘Just......just please make someone happy’, Tre told her, before he got up and ran out, leaving Steph still there pondering over the words that she had just heard.
-A few minutes later, outside of the house-
‘Billie, Billie-Joe are you there?’, Steph called, walking out to the front yard. Billie turned around and looked at her from where has sitting on the sidewalk.
‘I hate it when you call me that’, he mumbled, as she walked up to him.
‘Well its your name, and your stuck with it’, she told him. She looked at him side on and then to across the street, to what he was watching.
‘She looks pretty’, Steph let out, as she watched the photographer taking more snap shots of a girl modelling for what seemed like a winter catalogue.
‘Yeah she is’, Billie said awkwardly. He linked his fingers in with Steph’s as she sat down beside him, ‘Not as pretty as you though’, he told her, putting his free arm around her.
‘Thanks’, Steph replied, taking the compliment with a smile. Billie placed his hand in his pocket and started fiddling around with what sounded like keys. He pulled out a set.
‘You wanna go for a drive?’, he asked her, standing up. Steph picked herself up as well and followed him to the garage.
‘Yeah why not!’, she told him. Billie threw her the keys.
‘Great you can drive then’, he told her, getting into the passengers seat. Steph looked shocked.
‘Billie, are you feeling alright?’, she asked him, looking in though the window.
‘Yeah, how come?’, he asked her curiously looking up at her as if nothing was suspicious.
‘Its just you never let me drive’, Steph told him, jumping into the drivers seat.
‘Well today’s your lucky day’, he told her, as she started, the car and drove it out of the garage, down the street.
-In the Car-
‘So where do you wanna go?’, Steph asked Billie, as she focused on the road.
‘The park’, Billie told her. Steph took it as a joke but turned down the road to there anyways. When the got there she stopped the car and took her belt off. Billie did the same. The sky was getting dark and black quickly.
‘You know I love you right?’, Billie told her, fiddling around with something in his pocket. She looked down to see what it was, but he pushed it further in so she wouldn’t see.
‘Yeah I know’, she told him, shifting in her seat closer to him.
‘Well then I want to know something’, he told her. Steph’s eyes lighted up.
‘Yeah’, she asked curiously. Billie waited a moment. The tension was too high.
‘Would, you.......would you ever marry me?’, he asked her. Steph froze, and her eyes became darker than usual.
‘Well????’, Billie asked her again. Steph bit her lip and looked down.
‘I have to go’, she told him, opening the car door.
‘No wait, please just wait’, Billie told her, reaching out for her.
‘No Billie I have to go’, she told him, moving as fast as she could away from the car...
‘How long have you been down here?’, Steph asked him, fiddling with the ropes tied on his hands.
‘Too long, just untie me........please......’, Tre asked her.
