Running Away With Billie Joe, chapter 1
Hi! My name is Jezel. I’m 13 years old and a serious Green Day fan! So this one night, I went to work with my sister at a local bar. I sat at a table in the corner of the bar, drinking my water, when I noticed this hot hot guy walk in and a automatically recognized him as Billie Joe Armstrong! He sat down at the bar along with Tre and Mike. “OMG� I thought and quickly decided to go over there. So I got up and started walking towards them, and I noticed Billie Joe starring at me. I giggled and wasn’t paying any attention what was going on around me. Then, all of a sudden, this bald, tattooed face, huge guy bumps into me. “Hey, watch it jackass!� I snapped at him, then directing my attention back to Billie Joe. Then the next thing I know is that there is the sharp pain in my head, and a bunch of screaming. Then I completely passed out.
I woke up in this car that was parked on the beach. I was wrapped in a blanket and was laying in the front seat. There was a knock at the door, so I turned around and saw Billie Joe standing there, waving at me. I unlocked and opened the door to let him in. He “shhhh�-ed me and picked me up. He threw me over his shoulder and carried me to what looked like a warehouse or some old wood barn that was built just next to the beach. When we got into the barn, he laid me down on a bed of blankets on the floor and sat down next to my feet.
“You’re probably wondering what you’re doing here? And why I have you?� he said quietly, starring out the window that was across the room.
“Well, yeah� I answered.
“Well, the guy that you called a jackass in the bar, knocked you down, so I got up, and the whole bar got into a huge fight. But these two guys were coming at me with broken beer bottles, so I defended myself with a pool stick.� he said.
“Exactly how did you defend yourself?� I asked.
“I...i..kind of stabbed the both of them.� he answered. Oh my god, he killed them. I couldn’t move.
“Come on, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t mean to, they could of killed me� he said nervously.
I couldn’t speak. Speechless as the wind. Billie Joe got up and ran out the door onto the beach and just sat there, about ten feet away from his car. I unwrapped myself of the blanket and threw it over my neck. I walked out to the beach. I was about to stare a murderer in the face. I sat down beside Bille Joe and spread my legs out so that the waves that rest up on the shore tickled my toes. I didn’t look at him because I knew that it would make things more devastating for him to see a young girl’s eyes, just after he had killed two men.
“They’re not dead are they?� I asked.
“I don’t know. All I know is that I stabbed them, picked you up off the ground, and ran out the door. I don’t know what happened to Tre or Mike. I just got in the car and left.� although he just stabbed two men, I felt bad for him. He doesn’t even know what happened to his two best friends. I rubbed his back leaned in closer to him.
“I’m a fugitive.� he suggested. “ I’m a dirty criminal.�
“No, no, like you said, they could of killed you. It was self defense.� I comforted.
He leaned his face to my cheek, and kissed it lightly. I pulled my head off of his shoulder, and thought “um..okay.� This was weird cause there is like a 20 year age difference. I went along with it, not thinking much of it.
“So why did you take me?� I asked.
“I don’t know. I guess I didn’t want you to get stepped on or something. Plus you could of been unconscious and be in a coma right now.� alrighty, good explanation, but I still don’t know why he kissed me. Then he got up and pulled me up with him. He took my hand a leaded me to the barn. “Well, I can’t go back. So I’m running away.� he said as he was walking “and I’m taking you with me.� WOW! Taking me with him. Was he nuts? But I didn’t complain or plead with him to reconsider. Somehow, I guess I wanted to go with him. Then he stopped at the front of the barn and held both of my hands. “This is where we are going to live until someone finds us. Then, I guess we’ll have ta run if they do.� he said.
“Why. Why do we have to run.� I said-very soap opera like.
“Because, if we don’t I’ll go to jail for killing two men and kidnapping you.� good point.
“Okay.�
“Just okay? You’re not gonna battle me on this?�
“Nope.�
“Okay.� he said and we walked inside. The sun started to set, so we decided on getting some sleep. But I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t help but think of how I might be running away from the cops for the rest of my life with someone that I don’t even know and will probably not get to see my family or friends as long as I’m with him. As much as I loved him, I knew that I couldn’t spend my life like that. So I got up, checked and made sure that he was asleep. I put on sweater, but then turned around and Billie Joe was gone. I looked around the barn and heard some crashing noise outside and dashed out of there. I ran outside and then slammed into something. It was Billie Joe.
“Trying to leave, my sweet?� he asked.
“I can’t live my life running away from the cops.� I said, my heart racing. He sighed, grabbed my hand, and walked me back inside.
“I thought that you’d do this. (Sigh.) Really, there’s nothing I can do about that. But I need someone here to take care of me, cause if you leave I’ll blow my brains out.� he said and smirked. How could one find that funny?
“Alright, I’ll stay.�
“Good.� he said, laughed gently, and thanked me for staying. I wasn’t fond of staying, but I didn’t want him to kill himself. So I laid back down on the bed made out of blankets and asked him to come and sleep next to me. So he walked over and laid down. He put his arm over me, probably to keep me from running off again, and we both fell asleep.
The next morning, I awoke at the crack of dawn. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was starring at Billie Joe, whom, by the way, was snoring incredibly loudly, with his arm still around me. I tried to crawl out from under his arm, but it was too tightly wrapped around me. I licked my lips and rolled my eyes. Then Billie Joe snorted while he was snoring and it made me laugh. My laughing woke him up.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.� I said.
“It’s okay, what were you laughing at?�
“Oh nothing. It doesn’t matter.�
“Okay. Hungry?�
“Very, but wear are we gonna get food?�
“Do you think you could go into town a little later and bring back something from a restaurant?�
“Sure.�
And with that, he got up, put his shirt on, and walked out to the beach. I laid there, in his hoodie and no pants, just underwear, with the blanket over me. He slept in his pants and shirtless. I got up and headed for the door when some kind of ring went off. I looked out the window and saw that Billie Joe didn’t hear it, so I searched his hoodie pockets and found his cell.
“Hello?� I answered.
“Whose this?� came the voice from the other side of the phone.
“Um...I honestly don’t know if I’m allowed to answer that.� I replied.
“Well, this is Tre, where’s BJ?� he asked.
“Oh, hi Tre, this is-“ but I was cut off by Billie grabbing the phone out of my hands. “It’s Tre!� i told him.
“Tre, it’s Billie.� they talked for awhile about how Billie thought that Tre was dead or something.
But he refused to tell him where he was and who I was. When he got off the phone, he turned towards me.
“Never, ever tell anyone your name or that you know me. Got it?�
“Yeah, but why couldn’t you tell Tre? He’s your best friend.�
“It’s a lot more complicated then that, Jezel. Now get dressed and I’m gonna send you out to the town about a few miles down the road to get something to eat. Okay?�
“Alright.�
I got dressed, he gave me money and directions, and I started to walk down the road. It was going to be a long long walk, three miles, down the road. I wouldn’t be back until noon. I had specific requests: get food for breakfast, and dinner, and get more clothes for the in his size, so that I could wear them too. Great. I was alone, no-one to talk to, I was going to go crazy just walking down the road.
To make a long long long long story short, I got there, got the stuff, got back, we ate, and that is where I clue you in.
“Am I going to have to go down there every day for food? It’s such a long walk.� I asked.
“No, not every day, and if it’s too long of a walk, hitch a ride.�
“That’s not funny.�
“I’m just suprised that you didn’t run away again, or tell the cops where I am!�
“Well, I’m not going to let you rot in jail when you did nothing wrong, or worse: kill yourself.�
“Thanks.�
“Your welcome.�
fast forward to night time, when the sun sets!
We were dancing around the camp fire that he built on the beach. He was dancing with me, singing one of his songs. Then he just plopped on the sand.
“Why’d you stop?� I asked, out of breath.
“I’m exhausted. I need to cool off.�
“Well, why don’t you go for a swim?�
“Good idea, get undressed.� he said.
“WHAT?� I asked- shocked.
“Not totally undressed. Just in your underwear.� he said pulling off his shirt and pants. He ran down the beach, in his boxers, and jumped, head first, into the water. He came up, shaked his head back and forward, and then slicked his hair back. “Come on in. It’s a little cold, but it’s refreshing.� so with that, I took off my shirt and shorts, very slowly cause I never really undressed with an older man watching, before. I ran in the water and jumped under. I got back up saw that Billie had swam out to the deeper end and waved to me, signaling me to follow. So I naturally swam over to him. When I got there, I didn’t see him anywhere. Then I felt something nipping at me under the water. I immediately thought JAWS and tried to swim away. Then I saw Billie pop his head out of the water doing the “dada dada� shark music from JAWS!
“It’s not funny. I thought you were a shark.� we both started laughing really loudly.
After awhile, we got sick of swimming, so we decided to try and sleep, but dry off first. We sat on the beach, our butts getting sandy, and just laid there, gazing at the stars. No-one said anything for awhile, but then he broke the silence with “I wonder what my sons and wife are doing right now?�
“Probably with the police searching for you to make sure that you’re alright.� I answered.
Billie grabbed my hand and wove his fingers threw mine. “Let’s go inside.� he suggested.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. Either it was Billie with his arm around me, snoring, or it was the crazy notion I had that Billie Joe liked me in a farther than “just friends� way. “It’s all in my head.� I thought. It was the way he talked to me, like when he didn’t yell when I almost gave my name to Tre on the phone, the way he held my hands, and wove his fingers around mine, and that night that he kissed me. Stupid stupid stupid rubbish! Billie Joe doesn’t get sexual urges when he sees me! Stupid Jezel! Stupid stupid stupid!
