They're Gone, chapter 3
Kayla woke up. She had heard a scream from Wendy's house. She ran across the street to see a horrible sight. Wendy had a gun in her hand pointing at Billie. Billie had a scared looked on his face.
"Wendy!"
-BANG-
Kayla rushed over to Billie's lifeless body. She set his head on her lap, letting the tears flow. She looked up at Wendy.
"How could you?" she said in a harsh tone.
"Kayla, he was mine from the start. I've known him for a long time. Since I was 7."
"So? That doesn't mean you shoot him!"
"It's a long story. But I'll give you the summary. Billie and I were going out in 8th and 9th grade. Then he broke up with me because 'He wanted to spend more time with Sweet Children'" Wendy said as she saw someone call 9-1-1.
Kayla gave her a cold stare. "That's why you shot him!? You were pissed 'cuz he broke up with you for his music?! So a year later, when your best friend thinks she's gonna get her first boyfriend, you shoot him!?"
Wendy looked at the ground. She was twiddling her thumbs at the question. "Kayla, you don't know how much he meant to me. He was my world. Then one day it all came crashing down."
"That's still no reason to shoot him." Kayla gestured to Billie. She heard the sound of sirens and looked down the street. Sure enough, an ambulance and a mob of police cars were zooming down to Wendy's house.
Wendy looked up. She ran inside and grabbed her purse and car keys. She gave me a Goodbye Kayla look, and left.
As soon as she left, Billie's eyes fluttered open.
***Billie's POV***
"Wha-? Where am I? Why is Kayla crying?" I tried to speak but it just came out in thought.
I tried to open my eyes but couldn't. All I could feel was this pain in my leg. But there was something else.
It was wet.
It was cold.
It was from my leg.
It was blood.
***Kayla's POV***
Oh God. Why did Wendy have to shoot him? He's all I've got now that my family's in the hospital. Even if he did brake up with her it was only because he loves his music.
Billie gave a little twitch just as the paramedics came up to me to take him away. I knew he wasn't gone forever, but it felt like it. A young man came up to me and hugged me. I looked to see who he was, but I didn't recognize him.
"Hi I'm Mike. I'm one of Billie's band mates. And this is Tre. He's our drummer."
"I'm Kayla. Nice to meet you."
Mike and Tre's eyes grew big as I said my name.
"No way. You're the girl he's been blabbering about all day?"
I blushed. "He was? Well, I guess so. If he said he saved me from a fire then yes."
"Yea he did."
Tre looked around. "Hey? Where's Billie? He said he'd be here."
Just as Tre mentioned Billie Joe, tears swelled up in my eyes. "Well... "
Mike seemed to get the point. But since Tre wasn't as bright as the rest of us he didn't get the hint.
(A/N: I must refrain from saying retarded or the other thing I was going to say so as not to upset the Tre-lovers)
"Well?" Tre said as Mike hit him in the ribs.
"Ow! Mike! What the hell was that for? Shit! I think u broke a rib!"
Tre rubbed his ribs and walked away. Mike stepped closer to me.
"Listen, I know Billie was coming here to take you to his house so you could stay there, but since he's in the hospital to, would you like to stay at my house? Its right next door to Billie's," he asked as he slipped his jacket over me, since I was freezing my ass off.
As Mike and I walked to his car, I had a creepy feeling that Wendy didn't want to hurt Billie.
She wanted to hurt... Me.
"Wendy!"
-BANG-
Kayla rushed over to Billie's lifeless body. She set his head on her lap, letting the tears flow. She looked up at Wendy.
"How could you?" she said in a harsh tone.
