When I Come Around, chapter 3
My vision started to get clear. As it did, I looked into a pair of green eyes.
"I thought you would never wake up... " The red headed guy said while he sat on the bed. I have seen this guy somewhere before. But where?
"Yeah, I'm awake." My head was pounding. It felt like a tone of bricks caved in on me. I have no idea where I am. And I am laying on a bed I have never been on before.
"You almost drowned. You're lucky I was there," The guy laughed, and then gave an incredible smile. Then I realized who it was.
"You're that I guy I met at work!" I got excited. I thought I would never see him again. He laughed.
"Shhhh... You need to relax." He pushed my hair back gently. My body felt like it had melted. My head was still pounding.
"Do you think I could have some pain killers?" I lift my head and tried to get up. The guy helps me up.
"Yeah. I'll go and get some. Be right back. Don't go anywhere." He gets up off the bed and walks out of the door.
I sat on the bed and looked around in the room. I looked at the walls, which seemed to be dirty. I look to the floor. The carpet had cigarette butts and burns on it. I look over to a guitar. It was lying on the ground. It was blue with lots of stickers on it and it had 'BJ' painted on it.
"Having fun?" The guy walked back in with a class of water in one hand and pills in the other.
"It's a bunch of laughs," I sarcastically said, as he handed me the pills and water and I willing drank them.
"So what's you're name?" He sat next to me.
"It's Kelly... So where am I? And what happened?" My head was still spinning, and being confused made it worse.
"Well you're in my house in Rodeo. And you were drunk last night and you fell into the pool."
"And who got me out? And why am I in Berkeley?"
"I got you out. I seen you fall in, and then Dianna said you couldn't swim. And then you weren't breathing, so someone knew C.P.R and you were breathing. And then I couldn't find your friend Dianna. And you were still passed out. So I brought you here." It was so sweet that he did that. I just couldn't believe it.
"Thank you so much... So what's you're name?" I still didn't know his name.
He looked at me.
"I'm Billie Joe. Nice to meet you." he brought out his hand for me to shake. I gratefully did.
"Nice to meet you. And thank you for saving my fucking life... I have to pay you back big time," He smiled and so did I.
"Are you hungry?" Hell yes I am.
"Yes, very!"
"Come on, let's go get something." He stood up and so did I. I felt a bit sick though. But I didn't care.
As we walked out of his room, my legs where weak and I guess he noticed.
"I help you," He put his arm around my waste and we walked. HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELEIVE THIS!

He drove us to the bay and he bought sandwiches at some food place beside the dock.
"Sure you don't wont something to drink?" He said, holding his money.
"I think I have had enough of water and being wet," I laughed, it was true.
"Ok," He smiled and paid for the food.
He took me by the hand and we walked to the beach.
We walked down into the sand and sat down. I ate the sandwich and he ate his.
"So you work at a music shop? Must be cool." He said as he looked out to the sunset, which I just realized was setting.
"Yeah, sometimes. How long was I out for?" The fact that it was almost dark kind of freaked me out.
"You were out for the rest of the night and you woke up at 5."
"Holy shit. That won't ever happen again..." I'm embarrassed that that had happened. I feel like a total fool for getting so drunk.
"Yeah, it better not. It sure scared the hell outta me,"
"I'm sorry, I'm so stupid. I just crashed the party and made a fool out of my self,"
He laughed.
"Doesn't worry me. It wasn't my party. I crashed it as well. I guess I crashed the right party," He looked at me deep into my eyes, he has this unforgettable smile. God I love that. What the hell am I saying? I just met the guy.
"I think you did," I went red. I was kind of shy around him.
He looked away and we both watched the sunset.
The sun was gone and the stars were out.
"I better drive you home,"
I felt disappointed. I really wanted want to get to know him.
"O.k." We both got up and walked to his car.

He drove me back to my house. He walked me to the front door.
"I guess I see you around," I didn't want to leave him. I really want to get to know him.
"Yeah. " I looked at him with his hands in his pockets.
I opened the door.
"Thank you for saving me." I rested against the doorframe.
"It's ok. Anytime," He laughed, it was so damn cute.
I smiled and started to close the door. I was kind of wishing he would stop me from doing it.
"WAIT!"...
"I thought you would never wake up... " The red headed guy said while he sat on the bed. I have seen this guy somewhere before. But where?
