Wicked Times, chapter 9

<p>I asked "Who's we?"<br /> Tre said "The band."<br />"Oh... um.. when?"<br />Tre looked at me with his glass blue eyes. He said, "Right now."<br />I croaked an "Ok."<br /> Tre left me there in my bedroom all alone. I went into the bathroom. I let the clear water pour of the faucet. I wondered what the band wanted. When the water got warm, I grabbed a soft, white cloth and let water run over it. I washed my face with a washcloth and Clearasil face wash. I grabbed a dry cloth, wiped the water off my face, and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like a little child. I looked afraid and defenseless without my eyeliner and mascara on. I didn't have time to re-apply it. I brushed out my hair and tied it back with a black ponytail holder.<br />I ran down stairs to see what Green Day wanted to talk about.<br /> I could feel my heart pounding.<br />As I walked down the stairs I could hear Billie, Mike, and Tre talking.I heard bits and pieces of what they said:<br />"We should have never let her record with us."<br />"You know we should drop her, right? How could we tell people about this mistake?"<br />That's all I could stand. This is what I was afraid of. I couldn't stand around while I got my heart ripped out by Green Day. I slipped out the door and on my way out I slammed it shut. I ran. I didn't know where I was running, I didn't care. I needed to get away.<br /> I heard Adie yell "Alexis!!"<br />I just keep running. Tears were blurring my vision. I didn't care. I keep running. They couldn't send me back home. They couldn't. I wouldn't let them. They'd have to catch me first. I ran until I fell into pieces on the blacktop road.</p>



<p>I opened my eyes slowly. I tried to move, but I ached all over.<br /> I heard a sweet voice say "Don't move honey, you had quite a trip." <br />I closed my eyes again. I didn't have the energy to protest against the kind sounding voice.</p>
