What Happens Next?, chapter 4

I started to wake up and I realized I was in a bed. The ground couldn't have been that soft and comfy, so I must have been in a bed. I opened one of my eyes to see that I was in a fairly big room; actually it was a really big room. It was bigger that the one I had at my apartment. I sat up and looked around, then I saw something that caught my eye, it was my cell phone. I had left it the night before at the stadium, it had fallen out of my pocket when I bumped into Billie Joe and I didn't realize I had left it until last night... before I ran into Dylan. That must have meant one thing and one thing only...

I heard someone come up the stairs and I lay back down on the bed. It wasn't that I didn't want whoever it was to know that I was awake; I just couldn't sit up anymore... my head hurt too badly. The door knob twisted and then the door opened; it was Tre.

"Hey guys! She's awake!"

When he yelled it made my ears ring, and my head throb in pain. Then to make it all worse he ran over to me and squeezed the living daylights out of me. God, my ribs started to hurt...

"Tre, get off of me! You are hurting my ribs."

"Sorry, I am just glad you are awake, I thought you were dead!"

Right when he said that Mike came in through the door followed by Billie Joe. They had worried looks on their faces.

"Tre, we told you she wasn't dead, now get away from her. Please," said Mike.

"Fine, I will just leave. It is obvious that I am not needed anymore." Tre walked out of the room while pretending to pout.

When Tre was finally gone, that's when it started to get serious. Mike stood by the bed, and Billie Joe came up and sat next to me. I sat up cause it was obvious that they wanted to talk. And I am pretty sure I knew what it was about...

"I am guessing that you want to know why I was laying in the middle of the street last night. I can explain..."

"You shouldn't have to explain to somebody why you were blacked out laying in the gutter of the street last night, Lizzy!" Billie Joe was actually worried, I could tell by the tone of voice he was using.

"Wait, how do you even know my name?" That was a question I really wanted to have answered.

"Alysa told us when we went to go see her in the hospital this morning. She's fine by the way; we took her to your apartment, she told us where you lived," said Mike.

"Thanks, she gets really panicked when she doesn't know where she is. Last night just made it all worse with the power going out and everything..."

"Lizzy, we are glad that you care about Alysa, but right now we are talking about why you were laying in the street... remember?" God, Billie Joe really wanted to know...

"Well, when I was walking to my apartment last night as I was going through the park I kept hearing someone behind me. I figured it was just you, Billie Joe, or the rain hitting the leaves, but when I got out of the park I called for you to come out, but there was no answer. That's when I really started to get worried, so I continued walking but then... then he grabbed me." I was starting to cry, all of those horrid memories of all the times he had abused me were coming back.

"Who is he Lizzy? Who grabbed you?" Mike was almost as curious as Billie Joe was.

"It was Dylan, Dylan did it! He grabbed me from behind and kneed me in the stomach! Then when I fell to the ground he kicked me, over and over again. It was like he didn't even care... he left me there in the street, in the rain..." I started to bawl my eyes out. It was really embarrassing because I was crying in front of Billie Joe and Mike. I just couldn't help it; I needed to cry it all out.

"Who is Dylan, why did he beat you up?" Billie Joe was starting to get really worried now that he knew I was beat up last night. I think he figured it was his fault because he didn't come after me last night when I walked away from him.

"Dylan is my ex-boyfriend. He was abusive, so I decided to break up with him. But, no matter how many times I tell him I don't want to be his girlfriend anymore, he just wont take no for an answer. He can date as many girls as he wants while we are 'broken up,' but I can't even lay an eye on a guy or he will beat me up."

I heard Billie Joe mutter something to himself, then he put his head in his hands.
"So I am guessing he saw is last night? Is that why he beat you up?"

"Yeah, that's why he beat me up." I felt bad for Billie Joe because I could tell he was blaming himself for what had happened, to tell you the truth I don't even know why. He couldn't have cared that much about me already, could he?

"Whoa, what do you mean 'he must have seen you last night,' what did you two do?" Mike was looking at us both with raised eyebrows.

"Mike it was nothing, really. It was all just a mistake."

By this time there was actually a little smile across my face because Mike didn't know our little secret! I loved keeping secrets from people. This was going to be fun.

"Yeah Mike, it was all just a big mistake. We didn't mean for anything to happen, honestly!" I was making it sound like something more dramatic happened between us than just a kiss.

Billie Joe caught onto my little game and decided to play along. "Mike, don't be mad at us, really, it wasn't meant to happen! We are so sorry!" He started to fake cry and I started laughing really hard.

"C'mon guys, what happened! Tell me, please!" Mike really wanted to know our little secret. So I decided to tell him...

"Do you really want to know what happened?"

"YES!!! Just tell me already!"

"Fine... we... we... KISSED!!!" I pretended to faint, and then Billie Joe started laughing his ass off.

"That's all. You must have a really abusive boyfriend if he hurt you that badly just because you kissed someone else..."

"I know, he is really abusive, Mike." I felt a couple of tears roll down my cheek. Billie Joe sat me up and rubbed my back, just like he had the night before.

Mike left the room, I guess he figured Billie Joe and I had some things we needed to talk about... which we did. I could hear Tre outside of the door telling Mike he wanted to come back in, and then they both walked back downstairs. Leaving me and Billie Joe alone, once again...
