Scattered, chapter 25
After Dawna had left Billie light up the fireplace and took all the pictures that had been taken with him and Dawna. Tossing them in the fireplace while watching them burn, Billie felling a slight relief come over him, and everything that had just happened.
Billie was about to put the photo album away when a picture had fallen out of it. When he picked it up, he seen that it was him and May sitting on the couch while Billie was hugging May, and she had a big smirk on her face. Billie could recall that the picture was taken at Mikes, before May had got into her bad car accented. Billie studied the picture for a while until the phone rang.
Billie got up, placed the picture down on the coffee table, and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Billie how is everything?"
"Fine I guess how about you?"
"Great. Is everything going ok with you and Dawna?"
"I kicked her out if that counts as everything being ok?"
"While if you say it's ok, I'm guessing it is. What happened? Is she coming back?"
"No, when I came home I found her making out with her old boyfriend and I told her it was over and to get out."
"And you're ok with all this, this time?"
"Yah I guess so, or I really haven't clued into anything yet."
"Will you take her back this time if she comes to you?"
"No Tre she cheated on me, she played me like a fool!"
"Ok, sorry I was just asking."
"No I'm sorry I should have freaked out like that, but I'm gonna let you go, I'm hungry."
"I can get Krystal to bring you something, if you want."
"No I'll be fine."
"Alright talk to you later."
"Yah bye." Billie hung up the phone grabbed something to eat, and started to clean the house, from flipping the couch cushions to cleaning the bed sheets.
Dawna and Matt
"Stupid man he's gonna be sorry."
"Are you still going on about that?"
"Yah..."
"You know things could have gone worst then it did, just let it go."
"Shut up Matt. I'm thinking about a way I could get back at him."
"Why? Why do you need to get back at him for?"
"While wouldn't you think it'd be nice to have some extra money floating around?"
"Yah but there is no way to get back at him. Just forget about it. Your not gonna get anything."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yah."
"Maybe...unless I go to the press and tell them things I'm sure they'd pay for a good story."
"And what would that be? I cheated on Billie Joe Armstrong, I'm and idiot," Matt mocked Dawna then rolled his eyes.
"Yah I guess that would be a start, apart for the idiot part, then oh I could add in that he hit me, it would make a better story."
"Don't say that, you can get in trouble, and you have no marks on you what so every, you've been mark less since you've been with him."
"That is where you come in. Hit me Matt."
"What? You have to be kidding me!"
"No I mean it, come on hit me." Dawna shut her eyes. Matt just tapped her in the arm.
"No, I mean hit me, like wail on me. On the face would be the best place as well."
"Dawna I am not taking part in this, and all he'll have to do is look into my history, I have charges on assault, and I'm sure one of the charges are from you."
"How will he find them?"
"He asked my last name before we left, Dawna that man isn't stupid, as much as you wanna think your gonna get back at him your not, or at less not like this. So, drop this crazy idea."
"Fine whatever."
About a week later, everything had dawned on Billie. Like no matter how many times he picked up the phone when Dawna called, she would not stop calling, and no matte how many times he asked her to stop she wouldn't, and no matter how many times he told himself he didn't miss Dawna Billie started to feel lonely. So he decided to call Krystal.
"Hey would you mind coming over?" Billie asked Krystal.
"Sure I'll be there in a half an hour or so I'm gonna make me a Tre something to eat."
"Alright thanks."
"No problem."
"See you then."
"Bye."
"What was that all about?"
"Billie seems upset, I'm gonna go over."
"Right now?"
"No, I'm gonna eat first what do you want to eat?"
"I don't know surprise me."
"Alright." Krystal went into the kitchen made herself a sandwich, and threw something in the stove for Tre. After she ate, she told Tre to keep an eye out for his food, and left.
It was about 1:30 when Krystal got to Billie's.
"Thanks for coming over."
"Don't mention it." Krystal closed the door behind her.
"Here I'll take your jacket."
"Thanks. Hey you know your phone is ringing."
"Oh don't worry about it."
"What do you mean?"
"While it's most likely Dawna."
"Or it could be Tre telling me he burnt the house down."
"Maybe, but I highly doubt that." Billie grinned. The phone stopped ringing and Krystal and Billie went to the living room.
"Want a drink or something."
"Uh, a glass of water?"
"Yah, I can do that." Billie walked into the kitchen when the phone rang again.
"I'm picking it up Billie."
"No don't brother with it, its just Dawna."
"I'm still gonna pick it up."
"And say what, stop calling here I tried that already." Billie walked back into the living room handing Krystal her drink.
"Oh while I'll think of something else to say, it will be different if I pick up the phone anyways."
"Alright whatever you better pick it up son this is the last ring."
Phone Dawna and Krystal
"Hello?"
"Hi is ah, Billie there?" Dawna sounded confused.
"He's upstairs right now." Krystal said looking at Billie who was sitting right beside her.
"Could you get him for me?"
"No, no I can't."
"Why not?"
"Cause he's eating jellybeans."
"What, just go get him?"
"Fine. Please hold." Krystal put the phone on hold.
"I am eating jellybeans. Great answer."
"I though so too. However, she didn't believe it for some reason, I wonder why.
"Cause it was so random. Anyways she's gonna ask me who you are, if she hasn't clued in that your Krystal."
"Then just say I'm your girlfriend, that she might stop calling you every 10 minutes."
"All right hopefully your right. But won't Tre think this is wired?"
"He wont care, and how is he gonna know?"
"Good point, alright give me the phone."
"Ok hold on."
"Ok."
Krystal took the phone off hold. "Ok here he is." Krystal handed the phone to Billie.
"Hello?"
"Who the hell was that?"
"Who?" Billie acted clueless.
"The woman who just picked up your phone."
"What does it matter to you? You're the one who cheated on me."
"Billie who is she?" Dawna raised her voice.
"My girlfriend, is that ok with you?"
"And her name?"
"Marine." Billie hesitated to say.
"Oh"
"Billie, come on get off the phone," Krystal said in the background.
"Ok hold on sweetheart."
"I'm guessing your gonna let me go now." Dawna managed to say with out crying.
"Ya, bye." Billie hung up the phone.
"Do you think she'll be calling you anytime soon?"
"No, thanks."
"No problem, hey wanna go out and do something?"
"Sure. Like what?"
"Go see a movie."
"Sure." Billie and Krystal went out to see a movie.
Dawna and Matt
"What is wrong with you know?"
"What?"
"Why are you crying now? You haven't stopped, that's all you've done this week."
"Way to point out the obvious."
Billie and Krystal
"Thanks for the movie and dinner but I think I should be heading home. Tre's most likely hungry and wondering where I am."
"Alright while thanks for coming over." Billie walked Krystal to the door and grabbed her jacket.
"Again no problem call me when ever need." Krystal hugged Billie before walking out to the car.
While Krystal was driving home, all she could think about was Billie's smile. No matter what she could not shake the feeling of liking him. It was not just a feeling of liking him as a friend, but as something more. When Krystal got home she went and hugged Tre, and watched TV with him.
"Was everything ok?"
"Ya, did you eat?" Krystal asked Tre.
"Yah I made something, did you eat?"
"Yes." Krystal rested her head on Tre's shoulder. Not too much later Krystal fell asleep.
