Billie Joe And Me, chapter 1
i laid on my bed and stared at the cieling and fiddled with my black studded belt, the belt Billie Joe gave me for my birthday. i was thinking about me and Billie Joe being together. i had a crush on him for the longest time but i never had the guts to tell him how i really felt. Billie Joe and i had been best friends since kindergarden. when we first met it was an instant connection. we did everything together. we were even next door neighbors. the next school year Billie Joe and I will be in 10th grade. school had just ended 5 days ago and the summer was a total drag, but Billie Joe and i hung out every day anyway, so that made it better. my day dreaming was interupted by the ringing of my cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kerry. its Billie Joe."
"Hey Billie Joe whats up"
"I just wanted to know if you wanted to come over and hang out for a bit"
"Sure that would be great! i'll be right over"
"ok bye" it was convinient because Billie Joe was my next door neighbor. I went in the bathroom to straighten my hair and put on my eyeliner and mascara. I didnt call my sister to tell her that i was leaving, which could be a problem, cause shes 9 years older than me so she can kick my ass. My cousin Dana was home and she didnt care about me anyway so I didnt think my sister would care. My parents thought Billie Joe was the sweetest thing, which made me blush just thinking about it. i walked out my house nad out the door to Billie Joe's house. i went through the front gate and knocked on the door. Billie Joe came and opened it.
"Hey Kerry!"
"Hey Billie Joe!" we walked inside to the familiar smell of his mom's fabulous cooking. his mom was on the phone.
"Shes talking with your mom." Billie Joe said. he smiled. It wasnt a surprise for me because our moms were best friends also.
"We were wondering if you wanted to come and eat with us tonite. Is that ok with you?"
"Yes! id love to! my sister shouldnt care." We ate at each other's houses all the time anyway. We went down the hallway to Billie Joe's room. music was blaring. It was coming from his older brother's room, which had a sign on it that said "Keep out". Just as we were about to pass the door flew open.
"So Billie joe, what are you and your girlfriend gonna do now???"
"SHUT UP!" Billie Joe said, turning a bright red. i chuckled alittle bit. i had a feeling Billie Joe felt the same way about us that i felt. finally we got to Billie Joe's room. I loved his room so much. We liked all the same bands and he had TONS of posters everywhere. On the cieling and every part of the walls, just like my room. In the corner of his room there was his guitar "Blue" on its stand. Billie Joe loved that guiar so much. It was the last gift his father gave him before he died. There were pictures scattered on the walls of me and Billie Joe together, being stupid mostly. They made us laugh. We sat on his bed watching TV, then his phone rang. It was Ashley, some poser at our school that has had a major crush on Billie Joe for the longest time.
"Hey sexy, wanna have some fun? That bitch Kerry isnt there is she?"
"For the last time Ashley, I dont like you and i dont wanna do anything with you anyway. Kerry is my best friend and you know it, she is NOT a bitch. So dont call me again." Billie Joe hung up the phone, a slightly angry look on his face.
"I really have to get a new phone number." we laughed.
"So...do you wanna go walk to the corner store and hang out?" we always went there. It was our hang out spot.
"Yea! Lets go!" we walked down the hot street, the sun beating down on us. I caught Billie Joe staring at me a coulpe of times, but he looked away. His face got as red as a cherry. it made me chuckle a little bit. we kept walking when i heard something in a tree in the yard next to me.
"Hey Billie Joe, did you hear that?"
"Um....nope. Probably just a squirrel or something." Then i heard it again.
"There! I heard it again!" the I saw what it was. It was Ashley's older brother Patrick. He was way older than us and we knew he could deffinatley kick both our asses.
"Hey guys. Gonna go MAKE OUT down the street or somethin??" he started howling with laughter. His friends behind him in the tree were laughing too. Billie Joe and I glared at them.
"NO we are NOT going to make out. I bet thats why YOU guys were in the tree, to MAKE OUT with each other!"
"Ok thats it Armstrong! We're gonna kick BOTH your asses!"
"RUN!" I screamed. We started running like hell back down the street with Ashley's brother and his friends chasing us. Why were they chasing us? I was thinking hard while running for my life. Then it hit me. She probably wants the shit beaten outta me cause I hang out with Billie Joe, but pounding me wouldnt make Billie Joe like her anyway. He would hate her even more. wow, she really was as dumb as I thought she was! finally we got to Billie Joe's house, we ran inside and slammed the door shut and locked it.
"Holy shit that was close!" I said, gasping for breath. Billie Joe's face was that deep red again. Not because he was blushing, but he was outta breath too. I started coughing and I couldnt stop.
"I'll be right back" he said. He ran into the kithcen and returned with two icy glasses of water.
"Gee, thats BJ." we smiled and he stared at me while I drank the glass down. I caught him staring and he turned and blushed. I chuckled.
"God dammit I hate Ashley"
"Yea I know," I said, "Shes a major slut" he laughed.
"Kids! dinner!" his mom called. We went into the kitchen to sit down with everyone else. I sat next to Billie Joe of course. His brother that we encountered with earlier was sitting across from us and was snickering the whole time. This was really pissing Billie Joe off, so he kicked him as hard as he could under the table.
"OUCH! What the hell was that for?"
"Stop snickering you asshole! Shes NOT my girlfriend and you know it!" I was shocked. I never heard Billie Joe get so mad before. Billie Joe got up and ran from the table, tears filling his eyes. I gave his brother a nasty look and ran after Billie Joe. I walked into his room. He was on the bed, his face in his hands, crying. I really never saw him do this either, only when his dad died. I sat next to Billie Joe and hugged him. He hugged me back. I rubbed my hands up and down his back.
"Its ok BJ. My sister is a real bitch too." he started to cry harder into my shoulder.
"Kerry. I have to tell you something" he said, wipping tears from his face and staring at his feet.
"What is it Billie Joe?" I asked. there was a long pause
"Well, I-" just then the phone rang.
"Hello?....Ok we'll be right over." Billie Joe looked at me, a worried look on his face.
"Kerry. We have to get to your house fast."
"Hello?"
"Hey Kerry. its Billie Joe."
"Hey Billie Joe whats up"
"I just wanted to know if you wanted to come over and hang out for a bit"
"Sure that would be great! i'll be right over"
