A Runaway and Teen, chapter 6
I layed on my bed, much more comfy then mine at home. I stared at the cuts on my arm in disgust. Why did I do this? What lead me on? I felt a depression coming on, a very ocld and dark feeling I have never felt before. I ran downstairs crying. I saw Billie on the couch watching television.
"Uncle Billie?" I sobbed "I feel so upset.."
He walked towards me and hugged me. I collapsed in his arms. I felt ashamed of myself. I suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from my arm. My cuts were bruising around the outside and were infected. Billie looked at my arm and took me to the bathroom.
"These cuts are deep..." he said "They are badly infected."
He rubbed peroxide on them and bandaged them up.
"I'm sorry if I'm messed up." I looked at him with blood-shot eyes and eyeliner running down my face
"I understand where you are coming from. See, Green Day knows about kids and teens cutting themselves but we do not accept it." he said "I hate teens cutting themselves, my friends did it but I was against it the whole way.
"Yah.." I agreed
"That's why I took the blade from you." he added "I didn't want Jakob and Joey to get into it."
I nodded. I hugged him and went back to my room. An hour later, I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I called
"Hello honey." said Adrienne opening the door "I just wanted to tell you that dinner is ready."
"Thanks, I'm starved!" I exclaimed running down the stairs
The food was really good, corn, steak and many things that made your mouth water. Later that night uncle Billie had Tre and Mike over for drinks. I walked down stairs to get a glass of water and there I saw Billie drunk....This scared me. When my parents were drunk they would beat me. There I stood terrified as he walked toward me.
"Whats up goooooood lookin'?" he slurred
I said nothing and pushed him backwards away from me and ran up the stairs. I heard him fall back. I heard Mike and Tre leave. It was kind of late but it was a Friday night. I walked over to Joey's door and knocked. He was awake, he opened the door and gestured me in. His room was filled with posters and many sporty objects.
"I heard dad fall and heard you panting into your room. What happened?" he asked concerned
"Your dad was drunk." I looked down "He was walking toward me, I was afraid and I pushed him and ran."
Joey nodded, he understood. For an eleven year old kid he was pretty down to earth and understood what was happening in the world around him. We barly even come in contact since I came but we were good mates. I decided to walk around outside in the backyard a little bit. I sneaked towards the back door and a felt a pull on my arm.
"Where are you going?" asked Billie
I fell into a shock then I snapped out of it to see Billie holding on my arm and staring at me. I started to freak out.
"NO! Let go of me!" I screamed
Billie tried his best to grab hold of me. I woke Adrienne up who came running downstairs to see what the matter was. She saw me against the back door and Billie holding onto me.
"LET GO!" I roared "ADRIENNE! AUNT ADIE! HELP!"
Billie struggled to grip me but I continued to fight. Billie saw Adrienne and let me go. I ran into a corner. Terrified. Shaking and very afraid. Adrienne bent down to my level. I curled up and layed there.
"Wait here. I'm not going to hurt you." she said as she walked away, grabbed Billie to escorthim to bed.
Joey came down and ran over to me. He rested his hand on mine, assuring everything was going to be okay. Aunt Adie walked down the stairs and told Joey to go to bed. She sat down next to me and pulled me into a hug, a very loose hug. I started to sob.
"Its okay." she assured me
I said nothing as I had a flash back of the eyes Billie stared at me with as did my father before he died. I read a clock, it read 1:30 am. I was so tired but I was afraid of sleeping. Adrienne gestured me to get up but I just sat and stared at her. She nodded and went into the kitchen to get us hot chocolate. The milk made and sleepy and I went up to bed.
The next morning I yawned and stretched out of bed and walked down the hallway to the top of the stairs. As I walked down the hall, I saw the door that lead to Billie and Adie's room open. There the figure I stared at last night was in the door way.
"Listen Julia, I am so sorry about last night." he said as he walked towards me.
"Its okay.." I nodded
"Uncle Billie?" I sobbed "I feel so upset.."
He walked towards me and hugged me. I collapsed in his arms. I felt ashamed of myself. I suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from my arm. My cuts were bruising around the outside and were infected. Billie looked at my arm and took me to the bathroom.
