An Easy Mistake., chapter 2
I am so bored. Its only like 5:30pm. I grabbed my jacket and walked downstairs.
''I'm going out mom. '' I said, and walked out the front door, not giving her anytime to respond.
I put my jacket on, it was getting cold, and I just walked along the street.
I love having long walks by myself, it clears my head if I'm confused, it helps me when I'm stressed or depressed, and I write songs in my head, then jot them down when I get home. None of them are any good though, but I still write songs, because it makes me feel comfortable, it makes me feel like, me.
I like being me, being different, I know that I have no friends at school, but people like me, or dislike me, for who I am, and if they dislike me, they obviously don't like who I am as a person, even though no one has ever had the chance to get to know me better. Except maybe Mike.
Speaking of Mike, Guess who I just bumped into.
''Oh, Shit, Sorry... Billie? '' He said.
''Hey Mikey''
''No-one has called me that in ages. ''
''What, Mikey? '' He nodded.
''So, Mikey, Where you headed? '' I questioned.
''Somewhere away from home, my moms boyfriend, Jack, is drunk. I don't wanna be around him at all never mne when he's drunk. '' Mike explained.
''Mmmm, I was just headed for a long walk, I was bored shitless. ''
''Hey, Bill, I think we need to talk, can we walk somewhere, I don't care where, together? '' He asked.
''Sure, How 'bout we head down to the park. '' I suggested.
''Yeah, Okay''
Me and Mikey started walking to the nearest park, we used to go here together all the time.
''Look, Billie Joe, Its passed 2 weeks since what happened and I don't really wanna fall out about it. I guess it just happened so fast and I got scared thats all. I'm perfectly fine with you being bisexual, and uh, saying you love me... ''
''Mikey, I didn't just say I loved you, I really do love you, I honestly mean it. I knew you were gunna find out some time, and I was really scared about when you were going to, because I thought you would hate me, and well, you did hate me for like, 2 weeks, uh, do you still hate me? ''
''No Bill, I never really hated you, it was just a bit weird, especially at the time it happened, thats all, I've just been thinking about what happened for the past 2 weeks, and I've realised that its a bit stupid to fall out over something like this. You know, people can't just go around and get friends like you. Friends like you are rare, ya know, and I always thought we would be best friends forever. Sure enough, best friends do fall out over stupid stuff, but at least we make up about it. ''
By now we are at the park and we are sitting down on the bench, just talking, like we used to.
''Yeah, Mikey, I understand what you mean, I've been thinking about it too, but I've mainly been thinking about how I fucked up our friendship instead of it just being stupid to fall out over, and It's been kinda stressing me out alot, because I miss having you as a friend, you know, we do have a... Rare friendship, and I appriciate it. ''
''So, are we friends again? '' Mike asked.
''Sure. '' I smiled.
''Oh, and Bill, even if you do love me, I don't care, 'cause I love you... '' He said. ''... As a friend. ''
I smiled. ''I'm just glad we're friends again, I missed all the sleepovers, and the jam sessions, and the talks we had. ''
''Yeah, I've missed them too. '' Mikey said, then hugged me.
We sat there in silence for a little bit, but then Mike spoke up. ''You know what I hate about these talks? ''
''What? ''
''The awkward silences inbetween''
I laughed. ''Yeah, I hate those damn awkward silences. ''
Then their was another awkward silence, before Mikey spoke up again. ''Ya know, its gettin' pretty dark and cold, do you wanna start walking back? ''
''Yeah, sure, and, uh, to get back in the spirit of being friends again, why don't you come and sleepover at mine? ''
''Yeah, okay dude, I'd love to. ''
''I'm going out mom. '' I said, and walked out the front door, not giving her anytime to respond.
