I Was There, chapter 8

It had been a few weeks since Ryan had escaped from prison. We had bodyguards constantly with us. It was no fun! Most of the time I broke into tears I couldn't stand not being left alone with Billie Joe.

"Don't cry," he whispered rubbing my eyes dry.

"I want us to be alone!" I cried.

"We can't take risks! He might try finding us again!"

"Oh Billie Joe!" I said throwing myself at him. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my wet cheeks.

"Shhh" he cradled me, rocking me form side to side. "No matter what happens I'll be here for you! And I'll love you!"

"Mmm Billie Joe" I whispered snuggling up to him.

"I'll see if we can have some alone time ok?" he said kissing my head.

"I'd love that," I said softly.

He walked away and talked to the bodyguard.

I walked to our room and lay in our bed. His covers smelt like him. I felt
somebody hug me from behind.

"Billie" I groaned.

"Hello" he laughed. "We can have some alone time but they're going to stand outside the house"

"Ok BJ" I whispered.

He started to rub my body under the covers and finally went fully underneath them. I giggled as he tickled me all over. I started to moan as he put his face to my crotch and did a lot of action.

"Oh Billie Joe your amazing!" I screamed as he carried on.

I heard him laugh underneath the covers. I groaned out and stroked his head.

He reappeared on top of me grinning widely.

"Did you love it?" he grinned.

"I love it! And I love you"

He kissed me intensely slipping in tongue.

"I love you" he spoke softly.

"Want me to do something to you?!"

"Hell yes!" he yelled.

I went under the covers and put my face to his crotch. I started to do things to him and his legs kicked out of control from pleasure. I heard moans and he reached his climax. I came back up, lay on top of his body and kissed his chest.

"Oh Steph! Why couldn't I have met you sooner!" he laughed. I giggled and nuzzled my head on his body.

" Billie Joe, your so cute!" I said squeezing him tighter.

"I am cute aren't I!" he said smiling broadly.

"I love that smile!" I said running my finger along it. He moved away.

"That tickles!" he laughed looking into my brown eyes. I stared in his green ones.

He pulled me closer softly and touched his lips with mine. We pulled away from our soft kiss and he stroked my face with the back of his hand.

"I wish we were free" I whispered my eyes glazing up.

"Please don't cry!" he said a tear running down his face.

He put his forehead with mine, and our noses touched. He stretched out his lips and kissed me and smiled. Our tears ran down our cheeks and mixed together. We laughed softly and we held each other in our arms.

There was a knock at the door.

"BJ were having band practice now!" Mike yelled.

"Ok" he shouted back rubbing me slowly. "Come watch us practice!"

We dressed and walked to the basement.

Tre was sat at the drum kit playing a funny tune. I sat on Tre's knee as he taught me some drum solos.

"Well let's get to work guys!" Billie Joe yelled.

"Can't we have some fun?" Tre called.

"You ruined mine and Steph's fun so no!" he said winking at me.

I got off Tre's knee as he sulked. I laughed at sat down in front of them all.

"Right we need to write new songs for a new album! Any ideas?" Billie asked.

"How about something to do with our boredom!" I shouted.

"Good idea!"

Mike started to play a bass tune. Billie Joe looked up from his guitar and his eyes sparkled. Mike stopped.

"Play that again!" he shouted.

Mike played the tune again and over again. Billie started to click his fingers and nod his head.

"I sit around and watch the tube but nothings on I change the channels for an hour our two." Billie sang.

He pointed at Tre to play some drums.

"Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit" I made up.

Billie nodded his head smiling widely again.

"I'm sick of all his same old shit. In a house with unlocked doors and I'm fucking lazy!" he carried on.

"I'm feeling that!" Mike yelled his eyes broadening.

"Chorus!" Billie yelled. "What do we do that makes us not bored?" he wondered.

"Wank!" Tre yelled. Mike rolled his eyes.

"That's not a bad idea!" Billie laughed.

"Sex!" I yelled.

"Yeah good. We'll save that for later!" he winked.

"Bite my lip and close my eyes take me away to paradise I'm so dam bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit!" Billie sang.

I clapped and Mike and Tre laughed.

They wrote more of the song throughout the day. Billie named it Longview. By the time they had done it was dark. They played it all the way through. It was amazing.

"This is going to be a big one!" Billie clapped getting excited.

"We're going to go home BJ" Mike said. "Come on Tre!" he said pulling him off the drum kit.

"Night Steph and Billie Joe!" Mike and Tre called.

"Night night you two!" we called back.

They closed the door and Billie turned to me.

"So about that sex you mentioned!" he said raising his eyebrows.

"What about it!"

"Oh come on I know you want it!" he grabbed my body and rubbed his crotch against mine.

"Fine I'll be up in a second! I'm getting a drink." I said pulling away. He ran upstairs throwing his clothes off on the way up.

I walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of water.

"Hurry up!" I heard him shout.

I laughed and drank the water down.

I felt somebody hold me from behind.

"Mmm Billie Joe!" I hugged the arms and stroked them. I turned around. "RYAN!?" I screamed. "BILLIE JOE!" I shouted as Ryan placed his finger on the trigger of his gun and pointed it at my head.

I heard Billie Joe run downstairs. He was naked. He didn't seem to care.

"GET THE FUCK OFF MY GIRLFRIEND!" Billie yelled pulling me out of Ryan's grip.

"NO! I knew I'd find you both! And I'm going to try and kill you for the last time!" Ryan yelled trying to grab me back.

Billie Joe held me firm in his arms and kissed my head.

"Ryan please leave us alone! I will never get back with you and I love Billie Joe!"

I turned around and kissed Billie Joe's smiling face. He rested his head on mine as Ryan stood there.

Ryan clutched my arm and pulled me away from Billie.

"Did you ever love me?" he asked.

"I'm sorry Ryan but no," I said softly. "I'm sorry"

"Yeah you should be sorry!" he yelled and pointed the gun at my head and started to put pressure on the trigger.

Billie Joe ran to Ryan and punched the gun away. It fired but at the floor.

"Don't hurt her again you prick!" he yelled.

"I cant' promise that!" Ryan laughed.

"Well that leaves me with no choice." Billie picked up the gun and aimed it at Ryan's heart.

BANG.

Dead.

Billie dropped the gun at his feet. Ryan slumped to the ground. Blood poured from him. His eyes were wide open. Ryan had died.

"Billie Joe what have you done!" I screamed starting to vomit from the sight of Ryan.

"Come here. We're safe now. We have freedom." He pulled me over to the sink and rubbed my back while I was sick.

I turned around and looked in Billie's eyes.

"What are you going to do? Your going to go to jail!" I screamed.

"I know. Don't get upset." He said wiping my tears from my cheeks. He kissed me softly.

I stood over Ryan's body and lay next to him.

"I'm sorry Ryan. You were a bastard but I'm sorry" I whispered to him wiping his hair out of the pool of blood.

Billie Joe pulled me up and held me close.

"I'm sorry Steph," he cried wiping his tears.

"Whatever happens Billie Joe I love you," I said wiping his tears and kissing his face.

"I'm going to call the police," he said wiping Ryan's blood off my face.

The police arrived. They put Ryan in a body bag.

"Bye Ryan" I whispered patting the bag.

I turned around and saw a policeman talking to Billie Joe.

I sat outside watching the stars.

Ryan was dead.

He wasn't going to hurt me anymore. He wasn't going to hurt Billie anymore. The police walked out of the house.

"Goodnight" one said acknowledging me on the grass.

"Goodnight officers and thank you" I said.

They drove off. I sat with my head in my hands crying. Someone put their arm around me and I snuggled into their body.

"Don't cry baby" Billie Joe spoke as I snuggled into his chest.

He moved closer to me and kissed my lips warmly.

"Come on lets go to bed." He lifted me in his arms and carried me upstairs.

He tucked me in bed and got in at the other side.

He curled his naked body up to mine making me warm. He put his arm underneath me and held out his hand. I clutched it hard and kissed the fingers.

"Night night Steph. I love you"

"Night night Billie Joe. I love you"

Billie Joe had to go to court today. It was a week since Ryan was shot. He dressed up in a posh black suit and I dressed smartly.

"I don't want you to come. You'll just get upset!" Billie said stroking my shaking arms.

"I'm standing by you my BJ" I stretched my arms around his body and he rubbed me softly.

We got Green Day's chauffer to drive us to court.

We walked in the room and saw Mike and Tre. I also saw Ryan's mum and dad. I gulped.

"I'll be ok! Don't worry!" Billie spoke softly kissing my lips.

I saw Ryan's mum shoot an evil glare at me. I pulled away and Billie Joe looked where I was looking. He walked over to Ryan's parents.

"I'm sorry for what happened." Billie apologised.

Ryan's mum burst into tears.

"You killed my son!" she screeched.

"He tried to kill me and Steph!" Billie yelled back. "He stabbed me for protecting her and stabbed her for not marrying him!"

I cuddled up to his body and clutched at his suit.

It was time for his case.

I tightened Billie's tie and tucked in Tre's shirt.

"Mike your perfect!" I said hugging him close looking at his perfect suit.

I walked in with Billie's hand in mine. He stood at his stand. He kissed me and I sat down.

The judge stood at the front of the courtroom. He stated Billie Joe's case.

"How do you plead Billie Joe?"

"Guilty. But I only killed him because he tried to kill me and Steph!" he yelled.

"I am aware of the circumstances Mr Armstrong," the judge said.

The case lasted for hours because Billie Joe argued a lot.

I spent most of the time hiding my tears by hugging Mike and Tre close. The patted my head and snuggled up.

"Billie Joe I sentence you to five months of jail." The judge shouted.
