The Love and Pain of Sophie Manor, chapter 2
They went through a few songs before ditching practice and sitting on the floor next to me. Apart from Tre who sat...on me.
"Tre get the fuck off me," I said laughing slightly at his pouting face.
"So what'd you think of Green Day?" Mike asked. I nodded.
"You guys are pretty awesome," I answered nodding. Mike and Tre smiled but Billie just rolled his eyes and looked away. I looked at my watch, it was late. "Shit, I've gotta go," I said getting up and brushing myself down. On my way to the door Billie spoke up.
"You gonna get in trouble with mommy and daddy?" I stopped and turned to look him in the eye.
"My parents are dead." Billies mouth fell sligtly and I turned walked out the garage slamming the door behind me.
If I didn't hate the bastard before...I sure as hell did now.
I walked up my driveway and through my front door. I went straight up to my room and closed the door sliding down it and putting my head in my hands. A sudden surge of anger went through me and I shot up and punched the wall.... hard. My knuckles immediately stung and I looked down to see little trickles of blood dripping down my fingers and onto the floor. I cursed under my breath and went to the bathroom to clean the cuts. Then I got dressed and went to bed.
I was awoken once again by the dreadful ringing of my alarm clock. I groaned and rolled out of bed wincing when I landed on the hand that was bruised. I got up and got ready for another day of fun... not. I traipsed downstairs to see breafast on the table.
"Thank's Lucy," I said going to grab food. She smiled then frowned and grabbbed my hand.
"Jeez Soph what the hell happened to you hand?" she asked. I shrugged.
"I was pissed off last night and I punched the wall." I explained taking my hand back and grabbing the food hurridely eating it. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door.
"Cya Luce," I shouted closing the door. About halfway to school I sensed someone following me. I turned and saw Tre and Billie. Tre smiled at me and Billie just ignored me.
"Hey Tre," I said smiling at him also ignoring Billie's presence.
"Hey Sophie," he replied. We walked to school with Billie in silence and me and Tre talking about random stupid things. The moment we walked through the gates I noticed confused looks from the people who would usually shout out names but I just ignored them and carried on my converstation.
"Hey guys," I turned to see Mike. We smiled at him. Then the bell went and I left them to go to my form room. The day went quite well.. it was after school the drama happened. I was supposed to be meeting Mike and Tre but they had detention so I just walked on my own I turned the corner and was greeted with the piercing eyes of Billie Joe. He stood infront of me so I couldn't get passed. I crossed my arms.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want my friends back," he said sternly.
I looked at him quizically. "What?" I asked.
"You took my friends...making me out as the bad guy. Now they want to hang around with you all the time," he snarled walking forwards as I backed up unaware I was right near the road as fear took over me from the look in his eyes.
"I don't know what your talking about?" I croaked. He stared at me evily.
"I think you do." He said forcefully shoving me before continuing. "This was all part of your plan to act-" He stopped and I noticed him looking to the right.
"Move!" He shouted at me without turning his head. I looked to where he was looking and my eyes widened when I saw a car coming very fast towards me, that's when I noticed I was standing in the middle of the road while Billie was still on the curb. I froze in fear. Billie obviously noticed and just as the car was seconds away from hitting me he jumped forward pushing me out the way. I landed with a thud and looked up in horror as the car hit him and he crashed against the roof before flying off and smashing against the ground. I screamed and looked up to see the car speeding away. I ran over to Billie to see him unconsious with blood pouring from his head. I saw a crowd form around us and someone told me they were ringing an ambulance. I started crying I couldn't believe he'd just jumped infront of a car to save me. I quickly checked for a pulse thankful for Lucy being a nurse and teaching me these things. His pulse was there but it was slightly weaker than it should be. The ambulance came and pulled me away from Billie Joe.
"Are you alright miss? Did you get hurt?" One of the paramedics asked I shook my head I had a few grazes but that was the least of my worries. Suddenly two people ran up to me.
"Whats going on!? Why are you crying?!" Tre asked frantically.
"Is that Billie Joe!?" Mike asked wide eyes. I nodded.
"What happened?" Tre asked.
"He was shouting at me saying I stole you away from him and he shoved me into the road but I didn't know... and then he suddenly told me to move and...and there was a car coming...and I froze, I couldn't move and it was about to hit me...and.. he..he pushed me out the way and it hit him." I stuttered through the never ending tears. The ambulance man asked us if we were going with him we nodded and got into the van. We finally arrived and were told to wait in the waiting room. Mike and Tre tried to comfort me as I rambled.
"I saw him get hit by a car!...if only I'd have moved it would be fine.. Oh my god this is all my fault isn't it!?"
"No..shh it's not your fault."
"Why did he push me in the first place! He hates me," I said. Mike shook his head,
"I don't think he does. I mean he was pretty upset when you told him you hated him and he felt really bad when you ran out of practice. Didn't he Tre?"
Tre nodded. "Yeah, he went all quiet and weird," Tre said.
"Maybe he has a crush on you," Mike suggested. I looked at him as if he'd just told me dogs could talk.
"I really doubt that," I answered.
"Well think about it. Would you jump in front of a car for someone if you hated them?" I shrugged.
"Guess not," I replied. We sat in the waiting room for 3 hours then finally a doctor came.
"Who's here for Mr. Armstrong?" We stood up...
"Tre get the fuck off me," I said laughing slightly at his pouting face.
"So what'd you think of Green Day?" Mike asked. I nodded.
"You guys are pretty awesome," I answered nodding. Mike and Tre smiled but Billie just rolled his eyes and looked away. I looked at my watch, it was late. "Shit, I've gotta go," I said getting up and brushing myself down. On my way to the door Billie spoke up.
