What Are You Going To Do, Billie?...Kill Me?, chapter 15
She opened her eyes, after that second of feeling completely off the planet.
She saw someone she had known, and longed to see.
"Billie?" She looked straight into the green that gleamed from his eyes.
He was shocked, how unexpectedly he would see the one person he wanted to see at that exact moment.
"Cali..." They both stood there, looking at each other. The loud rawrs from the crowd seemed to drown out.
"I'm sorry, I had no idea..." She said, going a bit red at the same time. He gave a grin.
"Can't break tradition can you?" He said, she smiled. They both stood there still in shock of how that happened. The streets filled with people was still loud, they just kept on bring the new year in.
"Hey, you wanna go for a walk?" He asked, hoping she would say yes. He hadn't seen her in a year, it felt like forever. She smiled and nodded, he pointed to where he wanted to walk. She nodded again and they both started walking, she followed him as they pushed past the crowd. She just kept on thinking of how the hell that could of happened. He thought the same, it was kinda weird. Almost like fate.
The noise started to drown away as they walked further on, she finally caught up with him. The walked down the narrow empty street side by side, it was probably the only empty street in Oakland at the time.
They walked pass the closed stores, still in silence.
"Finished the tour?" She asked. He looked over to her and gave a weak smile.
"Yeap." She crossed her arms and kept walking, the cold air hitting her.
"So where's Mike and Al?"
"There some where back there, I kinda got lost and then the count down crap started and then I saw you," She felt red again.
They walked down further, until they got to the end of the street. And across the road was the pier, they could both her the water crashing up against the dock wall.
Cali remember the night, where Tre had found her on the beach passed out. Another regret she had.
"So have you seen Tre?" She asked.
"Oh The Look Outs thought they would have a few more shows before retiring...So the last I heard from Tre was before we went on tour..." He said, they both kept on walking, eventually getting to the pier fence. The only the separating them from the water. He rested his arm over the rail and looked out, she did the same.
They both looked out to the dark sky, which met with the sea. He turned his head and looked over to her, from the street light that came shining at the back of her. He could see her, her cheeks looked cold. He skin looked softer that before, she felt his eyes roam her face so she looked over. He quickly looked back out to the ocean.
"I missed you..Y'know," He softly said, still looking out to the water. She put her head down, so that now she was looking down at the dock wall. He didn't want to look at her, he didn't know what she was going to say.
"You did?" He turned his body and made her look at him.
"It's kinda hard to realise how unpredictable this all is. One mintue I hate you more than ever, next minute I'm in pain and then the next minute-" He couldn't say it.
"I know, but I never know what's going to happen next. I'm not even sure of what is going to happen to me when I'm older, actually I have no clue." She said, filling in his words. He weakly smiled.
"I don't think that really matters."
His head just about 3 inches taller than her head. Their eyes were locked, unable to move. She lifted her head up so she was looking at the stars, they seemed so bright. He kept his eyes on her as she looked up, she looked back down. Once she had, she felt his hands slip in with hers, he laced his fingers in with hers and they both stood there in front of each other. He was more than nervous, it was Cali that did that to him, she felt one of his hands slip out from hers. He brought it up to her cheek, she felt that feeling that was so far away, but yet so close.
"Happy New Year..." His lips moved closer to hers, after a year of dreaming about it. She could finally feel his touch, and he had waited to feel the same thing. With out opening their lips they moved along with each other. She pulled away from his lips.
"Happy New Year, hopefully this will be a good year..." He grinned.
She took his hand, they both couldn't take away their grins that came to them.
"So you still in boarding school?"
"Hmm, they just don't wanna let me out. I don't see the point in staying there, it's not like i'm going to become really smart or anything," She said with a laugh.
"I'll take care of you if you stick around," She felt butterflies run threw her.
"Oh and why would you want someone like me sticking around?" He grinned and kissed her cheek.
"Remember? You're my cloud..." She laughed.
"I still don't know how to describe you..." He smiled, she thought for a second. Looking at him, thinking of what he was like.
"I guess I'm just indescrible..." He said with a proud grin, he started to walk. Bringing her along. She couldn't stop thinking about it, what was he like?!
"I know!" She yelled out, he stopped walking and turned around.
"O.k what am I like?"
"You're like a song you hear for the first time..." He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, when you're about to listen to it...You have no idea about it, but once you listen to it...You like it, and then after listening to it about 3,000 times you love it. And when you stop listening to it, after awhile you'll hear it again. And then you straight away go back to loving it, and knowing every word to it..." When she had said that, it was more than enough to make him think that. He was in love with her...
"I don't know-"
"-You are, well to me anyway..." She said, giving him a weak smile as she kept walking. What she said, it almost blew him away. He turned around and walked up beside her.
"You really feel that way?" He said, keeping up with her.
"Yeah, I would rather be a song that ac cloud..." She said, with a laugh. He grinned.
"Hey! I would kill to be the cloud."
"Oh and being a song isn't good enough?" She joked, he laughed. They both kept walking, until Cali saw the ol' book mobil. "I thought Tre owned that," She said as she pointed to the van.
"Tre let us borrow it, just for the tour," They both stopped walk as they stood beside the van. "I'm going in, it's fucking cold out here...You can come if ya want, unless you wanna go," He said, with a cheeky grin. She punched his arm.
"I'll just be on my way," She teased, she took a step away. He caught her hand and brought her in.
"Oh of course you can come in," He said, she laughed.
They both climbed into the back doors of the van, she saw a mattress and blankets lying on the van floor. He collapsed down onto it, she sat down on it. He was laying down and she sat infront of him, he lifted his head to look to her. She was curled up shivering. He got up and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her shoulder. She instantly felt the cold go away... She looked to him, god she hated looking into his eyes, they were the most beautiful thingy you could ever see, and they could trap you, almost like falling into a hole.
"How funny is it? It's the first time in a whole year that we have seen in each other, and we have already kissed twice," She said have realising it, he laughed and hugged her a bit closer to her.
"Well the first kiss wasn't my fault," He said with an evil grin.
"Oh and the second one wasn't?" She said as she playfully rolled her eyes.
"No, but the third one will be..." He turned her cheek to him and kissed her softly on her lips, her hand slowly moved up to his neck as their lips moved. He started to push her back, as her back layed down onto the spounge of the mattress she pulled away.
"Nice dreads by the way," She said, not wanting to forget to say it. He grinned and kissed her again, this time each kiss...Was deep.
He heaved himself off her, they both lost for words and the breath. He laid down next to her, she lifted her head up and then she lift her self up so she over Billie, she looked down on him. Bitting her bottom lip, a big grin planted on her lips. She kissed his neck, then his bare chest. He loved when she did that, once she brought her head up he laid his hand on her neck and brought her closer to him, giving her a soft kiss before she laid back down next to him.
He turned and looked to her, she turned so that she was too, now on her side.
He looked into her dark brown eyes, with the whitest white surrounding the dark brown. Her skin wasn't all that pale, and the jet black in her hair. Making her look perfect in every way.
She sweetly smile, she ran her finger over his soft cheek. He caught her hand and sliped his hand in hers.
"I'm going to take you out of that boarding school." She raised her eyebrow, did he just say that?
"Ha?"
"I'm going to get you out of that school, you can come and live with me..."
"But you live with you mom Billie...And what about no one knowing about us?"
"Well do you wanna come and live with me, and my mom...She won't care anyway. Or do you wanna spend the rest of the year in that place?"
"Of course I don't wanna be there, but-"
"Look, we'll keep the us thing quit for awhile and then yeah...We'll see what happens." She thought about it, she didn't really care about her dad looking for her...Or the school for that matter.
"Let's do it now."
"Now?"
"Yeah now, let's go now, get my stuff and we'll come back here..." He grinned.
"O.k."
*
"Shh, we have to be quiet!" She said in a whisper, they walked across the school grounds, not wanting to make a sound.
"Are you sure the window will be open?" He asked as they keep creeping along the pathway, not wanting to get caught.
"Katie always leaves it open, the whore...It's fucking cold and she still leaves it open...I bet she's sleeping, apparently she hates New Years." The walked along the to the side of the school where the window of Cali's room was leading up to.
"O.k, I'll help you up...And then I'll come in..." Billie said once Cali stopped walking. She nodded, everything was going too fast. It had been a year since she last seen Billie, and now he was getting her out of the place she hated.
Billie lifted her up to the window, her knee went down onto the window seal and she lifter herself in. She climbed down into her room, first thing she saw was Katie sleeping. She turned back to the window and stuck her head out.
"O.k come up..." She whispered to Billie, who was shivering. He nodded and then hoisted himself up. He finally climbed threw the window, his feet touched the floor. Cali brought one finger up to her lips, giving the signal to not say a word. The both tip toed, Cali quickly got her stuff out of the draw and threw it on her bed. Then she got her bag out from under the bed and put it on her bed next to her clothes. Billie walked over to the door and opened it a crack, looking through it to see if anyone would be or was coming. Cali was rushing to pack all of her stuff up.
After a few minutes Cali had everything she owned in her back, ready to leave the place. Billie picked up her bag and they both grinned to eachother, it was definitely a new beginning. Cali was feeling as though she forgot something.
Anna!
She needed to tell Anna that she was leaving, just before Billie was about to throw the bag out the window she stopped him.
"I need to write Anna a note," She whispered, if Katie woke up it would all go wrong. He nodded.
"I'll wait for you at the car." He whispered back. Billie put the bag out the window and then he climbed out, Cali turned back around, looking at the empty bed. She smiled to herself, who new what was going to happen next. She quickly looked for a pen and some paper, she saw some sitting on Katie bed side table. She got some paper and the pen and started writing.
Dear Anna,
Happy New Year, you might notice that I'm gone. That's because I have gotten my stuff and left, I thought that I might take the chance while I have it. I will come back for you though, maybe. Haha, I know this might sound stupid and fucked up. But Billie has asked me if I wanted to stay with him for awhile, I said yes because I really can't stand living here. I'm sorry about leaving you here, so after all I will probably come back for you, because without you here with me I would have died.
See you soon.
Love Califonia Right.
She put the pen down and ripped out the paper, she slowly walked out of the room and down the hall way to Anna's room, she slipped the note under the door and slowly walked back to Katies room.
She walked back to the window, before she climbed back out she gave one last look at the room.
"Good Riddance." She whispered.
After climbing out of the window she started to run back to Billie's car. She was feeling the happiest she had ever been. She ran as fast as she could, she ran out of the school gates one last time. She saw Billie...
Standing in front of his car, smoking. She slowly stopped running, she hadn't realised it. She had seen that sight of Billie before, infront of the car...Waiting for her.
" Together hand in hand we'll run away..." She stopped in the middle of the road.
The dream...
It was like the dream was telling her the future, then she remembered the dream where she was falling off the bridge.
"Are you gonna just stand there or are we gonna run away?" Billie said as he watched her stare at him. She snapped out of it, she ran over to him. They both grinned to each other.
"We're gonna run away," She softly said, he smiled and kissed he cheek.
"Get in and we'll get away," He said with a huge grin. She laughed and ran to the car door.
Billie drove down the highway, he couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He was with the girl he wanted to be with, he took her away.
Cali looked over to Billie, his hand was rested on the stick. She moved her hand over to his and held it. He looked over to her a smile, a smile she always died to see. He looked back to the road, she loved holding his hand. His thumb rubbed against her hand, she felt a small tingle flutter in the pit of her stomack. They kept driving along. She looked up to the dark sky through her window, the stairs were shining bright.
What ever happens next, just happens...
She saw someone she had known, and longed to see.
"Billie?" She looked straight into the green that gleamed from his eyes.
He was shocked, how unexpectedly he would see the one person he wanted to see at that exact moment.
