A Cool Story, chapter 3
I sat there in shock. What would they think? Billie Joe saw me staring into nothing.
"you ok?" he asked.
"I just thought about my parents....they're gonna flip out"
"it will be just fine" Billie Joe smiled at me. "Don't worry about it" We pulled up to my house. I felt like throwing up. Billie squeezed my hand reasuringly. We walked inside, finding nobody around. "MOM?!?" I yelled. I heard footsteps coming nearer. It was my mom, a blank expresion on her face. She pointed for us to sit down on the nearest couch.
"Mom...nothing happened..." she still had that blank expression on her face. I tried to hold back my tears. "Please don't be mad" I started to cry.
"Why would I be mad???" She said. Surprised, I looked up at her.
"you're not mad?"
"Of course not! I'm happy for you!" I felt Billie's arm around me. I dried my tears.
"What a relief" I said.

"Where are we going??" I asked, surprised where I was going.
"You'll see" He smiled.
"We're here" It was the most beautiful resturaunt I had ever been in!
"Whats the occasion?" I asked, still puzzled.
"Can't I take my girlfriend somewhere special?" I smiled. I looked around at all of the beautiful chandeliers and center pieces on other tables. I turned to look at Billie Joe. He wasn't there. I looked around, startled to see him on one knee. I held back tears. I stared at the beautiful ring in awe.
"Kerry, will you be there with me through thick and thin?" Tears streamed down my face. I hugged Billie Joe.
"I hope thats a yes" I let go to look at him. I smiled.
"you ok?" he asked.
