A Day On The Green, chapter 14
After their set the boys they walked off of the stage and sat back waiting for the results. Jason noticed Steph waiting patiently at the door. He knew she had spent the whole concert trying to find Billie Joe. He tapped Mike on the shoulder, who then tapped Tre who then like before tapped Billie Joe. Billie Joe looked up and saw her standing there waiting for him. He got up off his seat and walked over to her.
‘What do you want?’, he asked her coldly. She looked up at him into his eyes and waited a moment.
‘I just wanted to talk to you about yesterday’, she told him quietly.
‘There’s nothing to talk about’, he told her bluntly.
‘No please can we?’, she asked him bitting her lip at the answer he might give her.
‘Listen, I know the way you feel now, and I know I can’t change it’, he said reluctantly turning to walk back to his seat. Steph stopped him.
‘Yeah, but you don’t know the real way I feel’, she said shyly. Billie turned to look at her.
‘What do you mean real way? You can only feel one way about someone’, he told her, walking towards her. Steph dropped her eyes to the ground and scanned them around Billie Joe’s shoes, slowly letting them travel up him to his face again.
‘Well can we talk anyways?’, she asked him wanting to get an answer from him. Billie Joe dropped his eyes.
‘Yeah alright, come on’, he told her, taking her hand as he walked her to a corner of the music room.
‘Listen, about last night’, she started.
‘No listen I’m sorry’, Billie Joe said apologetically.
‘No don’t be’, she told him, he obviously didn’t seem to notice though.
‘I let my feelings take control of me and they shouldn’t have’, he continued.
‘Billie Joe , but that’s what I wanted to talk to you about’, she kept going.
‘And now you must hate me’, he finished being cut off by Steph’s low tone.
‘No it’s the opposite of all that’, she said putting her hand on his shoulder and letting it run down his side.
‘What do you mean?’, he asked her, playing close attention to the way her hand travelled around him.
‘Last night.......you telling me all of that....... it made me realise something’, she told him, looking straight into his eyes. She searched around in them before he asked her another question.
‘Like what, that I’m still gonna be a fridget until the end of my life and that you really are hard to get? Or is it that the guy you love is taken by someone else and you cant stand it?’, Billie Joe asked her.
‘Well I hope the guy I like isn’t taken’, she said softly.
‘What do you mean? You know Tre’s taken’, Billie Joe said straightforwardly. Steph smiled and let her eyes drop to the ground.
‘No, everything that happened last night, should have happened’, she told him, bringing her lips in contact with his. They stayed together before eventually the kiss was broken.
‘Billie Joe, like I told you yesterday, you’re not like Tre. Tre’s ideal, but you’re perfect’, she told him kissing him again. Billie Joe let the kiss flow for as it would.
‘You really mean all this?’, he asked her, looking straight into her deep brown eyes. Steph nodded and kissed him again.
‘I really mean this. Just like I meant it in 6th grade and you didn’t believe me’, she told him giving a small smile. He smiled back and gave her a hug.
‘This is the best news I’ve heard.......ever..’, he said keeping her close.
‘So you’re fine with it?’, she asked him. He smiled and looked at her again.
‘Of course I am. I love you’, he told her in a whisper, hugging her in tighter.
‘I love you too’, she told him holding him tighter than ever. They stayed like this until they eventually needed to be pulled apart.
‘Billie Joe come on, they’re announcing the places’, Mike said puling Billie Joe away from her.
‘I’ll see you later?’, he asked her, before Mike started pulling on his jumper to drag him away.
‘Of course you will’, she told him giving him a final kiss before Mike pulled the smiling boy away to the side of the stage.
Steph smiled to herself and walked out of the music room so she could go stand in the crowd to see them. Little though did she notice Tre had been watching her the whole time before he followed her out. He wondered whether or not he should have said anything about the letter he had written to her’s and placed in her locker only a few minutes earlier...
‘What do you want?’, he asked her coldly. She looked up at him into his eyes and waited a moment.
‘I just wanted to talk to you about yesterday’, she told him quietly.
