2,000 Light Years Away, chapter 2
Billie Joe lay flat on his bed staring up at the ceiling fan spinning, shirt off, sweating. The cheap air conditioning was out on this hot night, and the fan wasn't helping. All it did was push hot air around. But Billie Joe had to much on his mind right now to care about the temperature. And by too much on his mind, this means one teenage girl.
He rolled over on his left side to face his open window. Crickets chimed their lullabies into the almost dead silent night. It was pitch black inside Billie's room. It was so dark that you couldn't see the assorted mess on his floor that consisted of many papers, guitar books, tapes of his favorite bands, candy wrappers, and so on. He tilted his neck to look at his shitty alarm clock. The huge, red numbers flashed 11:33 PM.
He sighed. "I'm never gonna fall asleep if I don't stop thinking about her." he whispered to himself.
Suddenly, in the creepy silence came a crunching sound. The sound of converse on dead, thirsty grass. A curvy figure crawled up to Billie's window. He bolted up straight, and backed away from his window, falling off the side of his bed into a tangled pile of sheets.
A whisper came from the shadowy figure.
"Psssst! BJ! It's me! Sorry I scared you. I'm such a dumb ass. I didn't notice you were asleep."
Billie Joe laughed nervously, with a look of embarrassment as Roxy climbed through the window. Good thing this was a one story home.
"Ehm... that's alright. I wasn't asleep anyway." Billie ran his fingers through his cute curls smoothly, sitting back up on his bed, and Roxy joined him.
"Okay. Good." Roxy whispered back, her voice broken.
"Why'd you come here?" Billie Joe asked
"Well..." Roxy's voice sounded crackly. As if she was about to burst out into tears. She cupped her hands over her face, hanging her head low.
Billie Joe frowned and pulled Roxy into his arms. Her shoulders shook as she sobbed into Billie Joe's shoulder.
"Shhh. It's okay. I'm here for you." Billie Joe whispered in a caring voice. He hugged her tighter, and ran his fingers through her silky, black hair, patting her gently on the back. Roxy released herself from his arms a few moments later, and looked up at him. Even through it was dark, Billie could see those ghostly eyes, burning into his. Billie wiped the eyeliner that was flooding from her eyes off her face, carefully.
"Could you please tell me what's wrong?" he asked, quietly.
"It's Mike. He.... he dumped me." she said, wiping a tear with her hoodie sleeve. She was now sitting cross-legged on his bed.
"I feel so stupid. I tought I l-loved him. And I thought he loved me. T-turns out he didn't. He thinks we're better off as f-friends. H-h-h-he likes that slutty prep, Cara Price. He says he went out with me just to see what it was like to date a friend. But he ruined it. Things'll never be the s-same. Never!" She choked through tears and collapsed into Billie Joe's open arms.
Billie Joe pulled her close to his body. He felt a tear drip onto his bare chest. He felt terrible.
"It's okay. I'm really sorry. "
Thanks, Billie." she said , forcing a smile trough her tears.
"When did this happen? When did he break up with you?"
"Just a few minutes ago. I held back the tears. I didn't want him to know I cared so much. I'd feel weaker."
"Oh. I don't mean to make you feel worse, but you should have never gone out with him. Now your friendship will never ever be the same."
Roxy sobbed.
"I know. I'm such a loser. It's all my fault, and I'm crying over it like a little baby."
"It's okay. It's not Mike's fault he didn't feel that connection. You need someone who cares about you more then a friend, and does feel that connection
an-"
He paused.
"You're not a baby for crying. I cry alot too. I cry... over this one girl I love almost every night."
Now is the perfect time to tell her how I feel. C'mon kid, you have to! You'll regret this for the rest of your life! he thought to himself.
This was it. The moment he had been waiting for since forever. He was gonna tell Roxy. He had to get this off his chest.
"Roxy...."
"Yeah?"
"Uhhh.... I need to tell you something."
"Okay. Shoot it."
"Well.... I've been wanting to tell you this since middle school..."
"Go on."
'Well... I love you."
There was a moment of silence.
Billie Joe stared into Roxy's eyes. Her face was raw from crying, yet she still looked beautiful.
"I always have. Ever since I met you. And I care about you so much, and I am so sorry about what Mike did to you. I love you, and I hate seeing you this way."
"Awww, Billie Joe." she smiled shyly.
Billie Joe blushed.
It was silent for a moment, then something amazing happened. It was like being in a movie. It happened slowly, and unexpectedly. Billie Joe and Roxy moved closer together. They closed their eyes as their faces met, and their lips touched, gently. Billie Joe's lips tingled a bit. He slowly opened his mouth, and Roxy did the same, passionately. Their tongues slowly touched each other.
Billie Joe slowly pushed Roxy until she was laying down and he was on top of her. Their lips moved away from each other, and the two just laid there, staring at each other. Billie had never felt this way before. He felt as if the butterflies in his stomach were doing back flips. He wanted to hold onto Roxy and never let her go.
Roxy twisted a curl in Billie Joe's hair around her index finger.
"Do you wanna spend the night?" Billie grinned.
"Sure. That sounds really.... sweet." Roxy smiled.
Billie Joe got up and locked the door of his room, then climbed into bed with Roxy.
"It's sooooo fuckin hot in here." Roxy said, pulling her hoodie off her head, messing her hair up. It look very sexy that way. Surprisingly, she also took off her tee shirt, so all she was wearing was jeans and a bra.
Billie Joe already had a boner from staring at Roxy's lovely body.
Roxy pulled a sheet over her self, blushing. She must have seen Billie Joe's wandering eyes.
"Aren't you hot in those jeans?" she asked Billie.
"Yeah. But I'm not taking them off."
"Why not?"
"You gave me a fuckin boner." he laughed.
"Wow, in that case, keep those on."
Billie Joe shook his head and unbuttoned his jeans and trough them into a pile on the floor. Now he was only in his boxers.
Roxy pulled up the sheets quickly so she could sneek a peek at the bulge in Billie's boxers.
"Oh no you're not!" Billie chuckled, covering his erection with both his hands.
Roxy giggled.
"Damn it, Billie!"
Billie Joe pulled Roxy closer, and kissed her on the forehead sweetly. He loved this girl so much, and was so excited that she was actually here, with him tonight. For the first time in a long time, Billie Joe actually felt happy.
Roxy wrapped her arms around his sexy body, and he wrapped his arms around her small waist. He ran his hand down her body, kissing her slowly on her beautiful lips. Billie's eyelids felt extremely heavy. The clock read 3:26 AM.
"I love you." he whispered in Roxy's ear.
She could feel his warm breath against her ear as he spoke.
"Good night." she said, disappointing the teenage boy that wanted to hear the words " I love you." back.
That night Billie stayed up, just to see dear Roxy slip into slumber.
