Running Away With Billie Joe, chapter 3
The sun was right in my face as I walk back to the beach. My shoes were killing my feet, so I’m barefoot now. There wasn’t much to think about walking back. Billie doesn’t know that I got my hair cut. But I couldn’t help but picture my parents mourning my death, even though I’m not dead. (Remember that the police found a body in an alley way and thought it was her, so now everyone thinks that she is dead.) I felt a little woozy and nauseous. But I was almost there and I could now see Billie Joe lighting the fire. My walking pace started to slow down. “Billie!� I called out to him. He came running down the beach, but was too late, I already collapsed on the ground. Then it was like I drifted to sleep.
The next thing I know is that I woke up in the barn on the bed of blankets. Billie was laying down right next to me, awaiting me to wake up. Once he saw that my eyes were open, he leaned in and kissed me.
“You feeling okay?� he asked feeling my head with the back of his hand.
“No. I just fainted. I didn’t feel to good walking back.�
“Jezel, I have something to tell you that might explain why you’re not feeling that good.�
“What is it.�
“Well, it’s about that night that we made love. It wasn’t exactly...protected that much.� he said nervously.
“WHAT?� I screamed.
“You might be...� but I cut him off.
“I know what it means!� and I’m guessing you guys know what it means too. I’m pregnant! How could I let this happen? I was old enough to be his daughter, now I’m the mother to his child!!!???!!!
This was way to much for me to swallow. First the thought of running away all my life, then the picture that I’m dead, now this. Why did I have sex with him? I could of stopped him before he went any farther, and ran away from him. So I got up and ran down the beach to the huge rock that I sat on before. Billie didn’t care to chase after me, thinking that I needed some alone time. Once I got to the rock, I almost fell over, but held onto the rock for support. I shock my head wanting it all to be a bad bad dream. But it wasn’t. I could pinch myself over and over again until I bleed and I wouldn’t wake up in my bed at home. I decided to walk back to Billie, seeing how he loves me enough to get me pregnant! That fucker!
I walked over to him in the barn and sat down beside him.
“I never meant for this to happen Jezel. I’m sorry.� he said. A tear started to roll down his cheek. I put my arm over him and rubbed his back.
“It’s gonna be alright.� I said even though I knew that it wasn’t. It would change things a lot.
