Billie Joe's 18th, chapter 4
“SHIT! What was that?�
I grabbed Tre and Billie, told them to go and look, so they slowly creeped
in and then all of a sudden a cat came flying out and Ity and I jumped out
of our skin.
“Its ok its just a cat,� says Billie putting his arm around Ity.
“It looks like they're long gone� Tre says
“But this place is a trip,I am guessing you didn’t leave it this way?�
“We'll help you tidy up Ity, you should really call the police� I said.
So we went into the sitting room the sofa had been turned upside down,
and everything was flung all over the place.Ity’s face just said it all; she
was trying so hard not to burst in to tears in front of the guys. So I took
charge of it.
“Ok, Billie you phone the police.�
“Ok�
“What do you want me to do?� asked Tre
“Er, go and help Billie�
“Ok then�
I looked at Ity and said, “Ok what are we going to do?�
She burst into tears
“I have no idea, I don’t have anything of value its all sentimental stuff
and now it’s all wrecked!�
I put my arm around her and said
“Don’t worry we’ll help you sort it all out, ok don’t worry about a thing�
Billie and Tre came back in Ity quickly dried her eyes.
“Hey, they're on their way, you ok Ity�
“Yeah, I am ok,� replied Ity.
The police came asked Ity a few questions, so Tre and I said we’d get a cup
of coffee while they talked.
“Well didn’t expect this, and I kinda don’t like coffee either� said Tre.
“Yer I thought we could get out the way for a bit, there was a lot going
on.�
I said, “I think Ity said there was a coffee shop down here somewhere?�
“I don’t really care Lisa, I don’t drink coffee when I pissed�
“We can look for a off-licence and get some booze, ok Tre!�
“Yes… or… you could just keep talking�
“What? Why? Your so drunk?�
“No! I just really like you British accent!� Tre replied putting his arm
around me and giving me a kiss. We were walking down the road when I noticed
we had walked straight passed the off-licence,
“Hey Tre we walked straight passed it!�
“Oh well we will have to walk back then�
We stopped and walked back then Tre said
“Oh, yea you do know we won’t get served cause we are under age?�
“Shit stupid America, I keep for getting I am under age here to drink!�
“We could always try,� I added
So I went in, while Tre waited outside I came back out with a lovely bottle
of Vodka
“Hey look at that!� said Tre “now if the police are still at Ity’s what are
we going to do then�
“Oops! I forgot about that�
But by the time we got back they had gone.
“Hey Ity I got some more booze thought you might need it!
What’s happening now then?�
I was shaking like a leaf, after standing, talking to the cops for like
hours on end, it felt like. I swore over and over I wasn't going to cry in
front of Billie Joe, but I think there's a reason they say don't swear. I
broke down right in front of him, as he just held me, and kept whispering
everything was gonna be okay. Lisa and Tre came back with the booze, and I
took a big gulp of it. Bad idea right then. My stomach was crazy with all
the events of today, and it made me really dizzy. Billie Joe picked me up,
and we went inside. I tried my hardest to put things back together, take
notice of what wasn't there. My tv was still there, so I passed the remote
to Tre.
"No porn please." I cracked a smile, and he smiled back at me.
"You oughta come sit down and relax, Itybitty." Billie Joe grabbed my hand.
"Nah, I clean when I'm stressed, and this place needs it now. And since when
did you know my full name?" So they let me clean up for a while, and they
watched the news. Damn Texas, damn Dallas. There was always some kind of
crime going on. I went in my room, hoping my jewelry was still there, and
lucky me it was. Whoever did this was wanting to just trash the place, not
steal anything. You know what, I don't wanna be here anymore, I thought to
myself. This place is totally nuts, and I need time away from it. I
remembered Billie saying something about the tour, but it couldn't come soon
enough! I did go and sit down eventually, and there was still alcohol left.
I thought about refusing, but then I thought if I got fucked up enough, I
could forget about here.
"You can't stay here tonight, you know that." Billie Joe said to me.
"Yup, ain't safe one bit." Tre nodded, slurping down the rest of... milk and
cookies? Maybe I was losing it, or maybe he had just raided my fridge.
"Where else can I go? My parents are no goods... Lisa, you live in
Britain... what are we gonna do?"
"You'll stay with us." Billie Joe and Tre said at the same time.
"Yeah, there's plenty of room in my bed." Tre put his arm around Lisa.She
grinned and so did I. Billie Joe had his arm over the couch, and so I slid
in beside him, and leaned on his chest. He played with my hair.
"You okay, baby?" Baby? Was I hearing right?
"Yeah. I just got caught off guard." It wasn't everyday you come home and
your house is broke into.
"Yeah, well, things will get better. I saw by your posters and stuff you
like the Cowboys and the Rangers. When they play, we'll go to a game. I
never was one for sports, so you'll have to show me." I nodded, as he put
his arm around me. Tre passed me some cookies, and then picked up a picture
from the table.
"Where's this from?"
"I can't see, how am I supposed to know?" He handed me the picture, from
church camp.
"That's from my church, before we went to camp for the week. That was an
awesome time."
"Church is gay." Tre said, and everyone laughed. I didn't though. Church
meant a lot to me.
"Aww, don't let him get to you, babe, he's just a dumbass." Billie Joe
whispered to me, and then cut Tre a look like, 'shut the fuck up, thanks." I
still was pissed though. Prolly because I was drunk as hell. I threw a
pillow at him.
"You fucker, that hurt!"
"Good."
"Sor-ry!" I knew he meant it, so I relaxed. 'Cut it out' I told myself. I
got up to walk outside, and Billie Joe followed me. We sat outside on the
steps. I looked out at the sky, it was starting to get dark out. Real dark.
I felt the rain hit me in the head, hard.
"Come in under the covering!" Billie Joe yelled. I don't know why he yelled
anyways.
"No. I like the rain." It started booming thunder, and I was in his arms in
two seconds flat.
"Aww, is little Ity scared?" He cooed in baby talk. I nodded. He walked with
me back out in the rain.
"We're safe. Let's play." He watched as the rain soaked me through my
clothes. My pink button down was now part of my skin, my burgundy tie stuck
to the shirt. I wonder what he was thinking! Looking out of the window, I
saw
Tre and Lisa watching us. I waved them to come outside, and Lisa looked at
me like I was crazy... was I?
I grabbed Tre and Billie, told them to go and look, so they slowly creeped
in and then all of a sudden a cat came flying out and Ity and I jumped out
