Scattered, chapter 15
One week later (Tre, Krystal, Mike, Ellie, and Billie
"Well, it's been nice Billie." Mike, Ellie, Krystal, and Tre thanked Billie for dinner.
"Are you sure you don't want us help pay the bill?" Ellie asked."
"No, its fine, I brought you guys out you shouldn't have to pay."
Mike just looked at Billie. "Why did you bring us out? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Cuz I'm sure sick of sitting at home, and I bet you guys are sick at sitting at my house with nothing to do."
"You know what man. Your right it was getting pretty boring." Tre said.
"Tre!"
"What, he's right." Billie looked over at Krystal who didn't look to impress.
After Billie had said that the waiters, came over and gave them the bill.
"Will you be paying in money? Or... "
"Money." Billie said cutting of the lady.
"Ok, while when you're ready you can leave it here, or bring it up to the front."
"Alright." Billie watched as the lady walked away.
"Pretty hot? Don't cha think?" Tre elbowed Billie."
"Tre. You know I'm here." Krystal hit him on the arm.
"I have no chance. She most likely has a boyfriend." Billie said getting his money out of his wallet.
"What does it matter? You're Billie Joe Armstrong, from Green Day." Tre grabbed Billie's wallet from him.
"Give that back man."
"No go ask her out."
"Tre. Give my wallet back."
"No." Tre got up and sat on his wallet.
"You think that will stop me?"
"You wouldn't dare try and get it."
"Tre give him his wallet back." Krystal demanded.
"I will, once he goes and asked that waiters out."
"Fuck Tre, I'm not gonna do it, give me my wallet back."
"Nope."
"Fine then." Billie got up, and walked behind Tre's chair, with out him noticing.
"See I knew he'd see it my way."
"Sure did." Billie said picking up the chair making Tre fall off and his wallet fall on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Tre was flabbergasted.
"Getting my wallet back." Billie picked his wallet. With all this commotion, from Billie and Tre the waiters came back over asking if everything was ok.
"Yah it is now." Billie said helping Tre up."
"No, no its not. Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Uhh?"
"My friend here.... Billie let go of Tre's hand. Making him he fell back to the ground.
That isn't gonna stop me." Tre started again. "My friend her, thinks you're hot, and would like to know if you'd go out with him sometime."
"TRE!"
"Ah, I would love to but I have a boyfriend. Sorry."
"Its ok it doesn't matter, do worry about it." Billie handed the woman the money and left the restraint.
"Good going Tre." Krystal said helping him up. "You couldn't leave well enough alone? Could you?"
"Like I knew she had a boyfriend."
"You shouldn't have asked her out for Billie. I'm sure if he wanted to he would have done it himself."
"Yah, whatever." Tre helped Krystal put on her jacket.
"Is this Billie's?" Ellie asked holding up a black jacket.
"Yes it is. He must have forgotten it." Mike said pushing in the rest of the chairs at the table.
"Tre you know that was a stupid thing to do." Krystal said walking out to Billie's car.
"Ok, I understand that. I'm sorry. I really am!"
"Don't say sorry to me." Krystal pointed at Billie sitting in the car with his head down on the steering wheel.
"He doesn't look to happy." Ellie said.
"You can't even see his face."
"Well, I know he didn't look too happy leaving the restraint."
Once everyone got to the car, Mike and Ellie got into the back, while Krystal got in after them.
"Oh thanks, make me sit in front." Tre whispered.
"Don't worry about that, I'm not driving you home." Billie said.
"Oh come on, it's a 5 hour walk back to my house."
"Oh well. You better start walking."
"Billie. Don't be like this." Tre closed the car door, and walked over to the passenger side door, and tried to open it.
"It's locked."
"Billie come on I know what I did was stupid. I'm sorry. Now please let me in."
"No." Billie turned the keys and started to drive away. While Tre ran after the car.
"Come on Billie I know what he did was bad. But do you think we should really leave him here?" Ellie asked.
"He's an idiot, he shouldn't have said anything."
"I understand that, but do you really think leaving him here is gonna fix anything?" Krystal asked.
"No! And letting him in the car wont fix anything either."
"Billie just stop, I mean look t him he's still running after us." Mike said looking out the window.
"Fine whatever, but I'm not talking to him."
"Alright you don't have to. Just stop he's gonna hurt himself." Krystal said look back out the window.
"Are you gonna stop? Ellie asked.
"Yah." Billie pulled over to the side of the road, and rolled down the passenger side window.
"So you decided to stop I see. I knew you wouldn't make me walk home." Tre seemed to mock Billie.
"Oh fuck off man." Billie started to drive away.
"Billie, come on. That's Tre for you." Mike said trying not to laugh.
"I don't care. He's pushed it today, and you know what I don't think the walk will kill him."
"Billie, you know if you don't stop he'll be pissed at you."
"Good Krystal, good. Maybe then he'll stay out of my business." Billie speed up the car, and didn't say anything else till it came time to drop Krystal off.
"Billie what you did back there was real ignorant."
"Well, so what. What he was ignorant as well. Krystal as much as it seems I don't want Kaylee, I really do. So I don't need Tre asking girls out for me. I mean when I'm ready and over Kaylee, I'll ask someone out."
"Billie. I can understand that, but I'm sure leaving Tre all alone wasn't necessary."
"It was at the time."
"Well, now I don't think he'll be home till about 3am."
Felling guilty Billie got back into his car with out saying goodbye to Krystal.
"Where are you going?" Krystal asked.
"To go find Tre, I don't think he'll make his way home once it gets really dark out."
"Do you want me to come?"
"No. I'll be fine." Billie waved goodbye and pulled out of the driveway.
While driving back to find Tre, Billie thought about turning around a couple times, but he didn't. As he started to get closer to the restraint, where he had left Tre he didn't see him anywhere.
"Where the fuck did he go?" Billie pulled into the parking lot and looked around. Not seeing Tre he turned out of the drive way and head back home. While heading back home, Billie looked everywhere for Tre. He turned down side roads, making it faster to walk to his place, and he found him, sitting on the side of the road. Billie honked his horn and pulled over.
"Ok I'll move you don't have to hit me!" Tre got up and started walking again.
"Get back here." Billie yelled out the car.
"What? I don't even know you."
"Tre get you ass in this car before I leave again."
"Billie?"
"Ya, now get in the car!" this time Tre got into the car before saying something smart to Billie.
"I know you wouldn't make me walk home." Tre said putting on his seatbelt.
"I would have, Krystal just changed my mind."
"I knew she was good for something." Tre joked.
"Umhumm."
"So I guess I should say sorry."
"Guess? What you did was stupid Tre."
"Fine, I'm sorry."
"You better be."
"I am, but come on you can't tell me that she wasn't hot."
"Tre that's beyond the point here."
"Come just say it."
"Fine she was hot, but next time let me ask the girl out."
"Uh."
"Tre."
"But you'll never do it, unless."
"Unless what?"
"We take you to the bar again and you get drunk."
"No I'm not going to the bar."
"Fine then, your stupid."
"Tre you can get out of the car."
"I don't care I'm almost home, all I'd have to do is turn the corner."
"You don't think I'd drive farter away, just so I could watch you walk?"
"Fine ok you're stupid, and I won't ask any girls out for you anymore."
"Good." Billie pulled into Tre's, and Krystal drive way.
"She still up?" Tre said looking at the light come from the front window.
"What does it matter? She most likely making sure I didn't kill you or something."
"No I know, but its like 11:30 she's usually asleep by now."
"Well, maybe she is."
"I'll find out anyways thanks for coming back and picking me up."
"No problem I guess." Tre got out of the car, and waved to Billie as he pulled out of the driveway.
Once Tre got into the house, he found Krystal sleeping on the sofa in front of the TV. He went upstairs took a shower, and got changed. After that he came back downstairs with a blanket and placed it on Krystal. Then turned off the lights and TV, and when to bed.
Now on the other hand when Billie walked into his house he was greeted by the phone ringing. Billie placed his car keys down and went to get the phone.
"Hello?" when Billie picked up the phone all he could hear was someone breathing so he said hello again. Again all he could hear was someone breathing.
"Who is this?" Billie asked. The voice sounded like they tried to something, but then the line went dead. Billie hung up the phone not think anything about it and went to bed.
"Well, it's been nice Billie." Mike, Ellie, Krystal, and Tre thanked Billie for dinner.
"Are you sure you don't want us help pay the bill?" Ellie asked."
"No, its fine, I brought you guys out you shouldn't have to pay."
Mike just looked at Billie. "Why did you bring us out? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Cuz I'm sure sick of sitting at home, and I bet you guys are sick at sitting at my house with nothing to do."
