So Wrong But Feels So Right, chapter 2
It was tall, black-haired, Billie Joe from Green Day!!!! I just kind of stared at him in disbelief and finally he said, “Hi…um my car sort of broke down so I’m sort of stuck here. Do you think I could use your phone?� I just nodded my head and gestured for him to come in the house, I was speechless. I couldn’t believe it! Billie Joe…from Green Day…in my house!!!! When we got to the phone, I handed the phone to him. Then he said, “Wow you have a nice house.� I said, “Thank you,� and smiled. He smiled back. Then he dialed a number and waited. About 5 seconds later, he said, “Hey Tre, it’s Billie Joe. Yeah my stupid car broke down and I’m using this nice girl’s phone. Yeah. No. Ok. Bye,� and he hung up. Then he said, “Tre’s coming to pick me up in about 2 hours because he’s at a party.� I said, “Ok,� and I was thinking, “Wow, Billie Joe and me…alone for two hours!!!! Mom and dad usually don’t get home for about 3 hours. But wait! Julie my little sister would be coming home in like 20 minutes!!!!�
Not wanting to tell Billie Joe the bad news yet, I asked him, “Do you want something to drink?� “Sure,� he said, and I walked to the refrigerator, and he followed me. I opened it up and took out a root beer and went and sat on the couch in the living room. He took one out too and sat right down next to me on the couch. I shuddered at the thought of having a celebrity sitting right next to me, especially one so hot and sought-after. Then I remembered Johnny. I said to him, “Billie Joe, there’s something I have to tell you, even though you may not care or you may think that it is pathetic.�
“Nothing you say is pathetic, go ‘head, tell me, babe.� Oh…my…gosh…did he just call me babe, or was I just dreaming?!!!! The way he looked at me though told me that I wasn’t. I finally managed to explain, “Well, my old boyfriend Johnny broke up with me today…and I’m feeling really bad about it today. I just don’t know why in the hell he broke up with me. It just…wasn’t a good day at school today, I had to go to these stupid counselors the rest of the periods and it was terrible. I just don’t know what is wrong with me, because he said that he liked someone else better.� A tear dropped from my eye, then several more. Billie wrapped his arms around me and said, “Those things happen, and sometimes you just have to deal with them. It may break your heart, but it’s part of life. You know this has nothing to do with it, but these girls…these two crazy girls wanted to go out with me in the second grade, but I said no, because I didn’t really like any of them and plus I couldn’t go out with both of them at the same time. So what did they do? They beat me up!� Billie said, and we both laughed. Then I said, “You know…it may seem weird…but I feel like I’ve known you my whole life even though we just met.� “Yeah I do, too.� Billie Joe said.
Then I remembered Julie and turned to Billie Joe and started blurting out, "Oh no! My little sister Julie is coming home in l5 minutes! She might tell my parents that you were here, and they don’t approve of the tattoos and the drinking, no offense.� “No it’s ok.� He replied.
