The Perfect Lie, chapter 3
‘Is everything alright?’, Billie Joe asked her. Steph leaned in closer towards him and flicked her eyes up so she could just see his.
‘Yeah everything’s fine, just had a little to much coffee at work’, she told him smiling. He smiled back and put his arm firmly around her not noticing the looks Tre and Mike were giving eachother. One was regretful and apologetic, while the other was irritated and annoyed. Tre tried to smile to show everything was alright, but he couldn’t.
‘I’m going to my room, I’ll see you guys in the morning’, he told them, getting up and leaving. They all said goodnight as Tre made his way off down the dark hallway into his room.
‘Is he gonna be alright?’, Steph asked with concern. She hadn’t seen Tre like that before. Mike nodded and then rolled his eyes.
‘He’ll be fine, he just gets moody every now and then’, Billie told her, putting pressure against her to lean down against him again.
-Tre’s Room-
He paced up and down not knowing what to do with himself. He had, had all the right opportunities when Billie Joe wasn’t around and he didn’t take one of them, and now it felt as if the world was crashing around him. He tried to get his thoughts all into place, but there was no use, he couldn’t do it. Not when his mind was as cloudy as this. He pulled out a joint and settled down on his bed, smoking it as he put himself to sleep.
-The Lounge-
‘Maybe I should go its getting late’, Steph said, moving herself out of Billie Joe’s grip and getting up looking back down at him.
‘No don’t go, its only 10 and you promised me you’d stay’, he told her reaching out for her hand. Steph sat herself back down on the couch next to him as Billie put his arm around her.
‘Okay another hour, but that’s all’, she told him. That hour though soon became the whole night after she started to get tired and fall asleep against Billie who stayed there with her for the rest of the night.
-The Next Morning-
‘Billie Joe wake up, this is important’, Steph told him shaking him. Billie opened his eyes, saw it was her and then shut them again, speaking to her softly.
‘Steph, just relax’, he told her, rubbing his eyes. She continued to shake him.
‘Billie I cant relax, its Tre his gone’, she explained.
‘Gone’.
‘Yes gone’.
‘Why?’,
‘I don’t know’, she told him as tears started to come out of her eyes, ‘Here take a look at this’, she told him handing a letter than had been scribbled by the run away man..
