The Rights Of Cali: What Are You Going To Do, Billie?...Kill Me?, chapter 8

"Just sign here and the house is all yours." Cali and Kelly both looked at the piece of paper in front of them. Cali could feel the excitement pumping through her body...

It had almost been a year of working at Kelly's C.D shop, and saving up money for the house they were about to officially own.

She was moving into a house with her best friend Kelly...

It wasn't just a normal house...Cali had chosen this house for a reason.
Not only had she lived in the house before, it was 2 houses down from a person who was like a mother to her.

She had moved back into the house in which she grew up in, the house which was in the same street as the Armstrong house hold.

She knew that she had to move out over Ollie's house, she felt guilty for staying there, and not paying for it. Cali had insisted in paying for rent, but Ollie refused.
So Cali thought she was old enough, supported enough to live on her own, after she had gotten a job at Kelly's C.D shop. Which she had loved working in.

"I can't believe I am going to own this place!" Cali screamed out after the agent had left.

"I know!...My fucking god Cali...this is going to be the best!" Kelly screamed out in excitement too.


After a day of moving furniture, the two girls...or should I say women, as they liked to call themselves now, were sitting down on the front porch, smoking and talking about the past...

"Remember that time we had that fight at the party?" Cali said laughing a taking a drag of her smoke. Kelly cracked up...

"Yes!...That was really fucked...but look what came from that fight...we are living together now, kinda funny...if we didn't know Billie, we wouldn't have met..."
Cali took another drag of the smoke. Now there's a name she hadn't forgotten, she had seen or talked to him in a very long time, they haven't been in town for over a year now.
But Ollie would tell her about what they had been doing so far, because Billie Joe would ring every now and again.

"Never say that name in this house...again," Cali said, strictly.

"Yes'm," Kelly said rolling her eyes and giggling to herself.

"I say, let us go to Ollie's house...tell her to come over and see what we have down to our place," Cali said jumping up of the steps and running across the grass.

"Hey wait for me!" Kelly said running after her.


Cali knocked on the door.

"Wow I have never done this before...knocking on doors is for losers," Cali said, laughing at her own joke, while Kelly rolled her eyes yet again.
The door opened. "Ollie!" Cali said giving her a big hug, Ollie laughed and hugged her back.

"Hello!...come in, come in. How is your new house going?" Ollie said happy as ever to have company, letting both girls in.

"Great!" Kelly said, giving Ollie a hug as well.

"More than great!...We come over to ask you to come and look!" Cali said excitedly.

"I would love to see it, but first do you girls want anything to drink?" Ollie asked.

"No thanks..." Cali answered.

"Can I have a coffee please? "Kelly asked nicely.

"Yes you can sugar...I was going to make one myself," Ollie said smiling. Ollie went into the kitchen, Kelly sat down on the couch. And Cali stood up looking at the old pictures on the shelf, she could hardly remember what Billie's face looked like it had been so long since she had seen him.

"How many sugars?" Ollie called out.

"Two thanks!" Kelly called back.
The phone started to ring...Cali wasn't sure if she should answer it. Since she wasn't living there anymore.

"Cali can you get that for me sugar?" Ollie called out.

"Yeah..." Cali walked over to the ringing phone, looking at Kelly as she shrugged and picked it up. "Ah...hello?" Cali said.

"Cali...?" She heard her name from the other end off the phone.

"Yes, who's this?" she said, trying to remember whose voice it was.

"Bill-" She remembered who it was before he even said his name.

"-Ollie! Phone!" Cali said cutting him off, putting the phone down on the table, waiting for her to come.
She couldn't believe she had just talked him, and she didn't want to.

"Coming!" Ollie said coming in with a tea towel over her shoulder. Ollie picked up the phone, and all the sudden she was extra happy to be talking to her son.

"Who is it? " Kelly whispered. Cali sighed and gave her a look, Kelly gave Cali an 'Oh' look.

"Yes...oh...I see...well...that's great!...o.k,o.k, I'll let you go. Bye honey, I love you." Ollie put the phone down. "Oh my lord!..." Ollie yelled out.

"What?" Cali asked.

"They are coming back to town!" Ollie yelled out excitedly.

"Um...I think me and Kelly better get back, we still have more un packing to do, we'll come see you later...bye!" Cali said grabbing Kelly by the arm and dragging her out of Ollie's house.

"Hey what the fuck Cali?!" Kelly said, as she was being dragged.

"We have to get home..." she said, walking faster. Kelly stopped and also forced Cali to stop.

"Look!...You're just gonna have to get the fuck over Billie o.k?!...It's not the end of the fucking world, you'll find another guy better than him!...Y'know, there are plenty of fish in the sea!...I mean...when was the last time you had sex?!..." Kelly yelled out in frustration.

"But-"

"-And not to forget the fact that you are no the only one who has had to get over him!...After all, he hurt me more then what he hurt you, he only kissed her when he was drunk, when he kissed you, he was perfectly sober, and look at me!...I got the fuck over him, so should you. Got it? I don't wanna hear another compliant about him...you're finding someone else, just stop fucking dwelling on Billie Joe fucking Armstrong!" she finished.

It brought some sense to Cali. She got pay back for what she had done to Kelly. She really did believe in karma now.
Kelly looked at Cali's face.

"Look, sorry...Tell you what, how about we celebrate and go to a bar? Maybe we'll find a nice, un-fucked up guy somewhere..." Kelly offered.

"Yeah...o.k." Cali accepted.

*

Kelly walked into the crowded bar, Cali was close behind. Kelly was looking for a nice guy for Cali took grab a hold of. But so far she didn't see anyone Cali would be interested, or anything she would be interested in herself. She still remembered Jussi.

"I will be going back to Finland..." She remembered Jussi telling her, before he went out of her life.

She snapped out of the memory of Jussi when she say this guy, he was dark blond and he was wearing a long black drench coat. She looked over to Cali, who was looking, and or staring at that guy.

"O.k...go over to the bar, I gotta go pee," Kelly said, walking away from Cali as she made her way into the bathroom, she wasn't looking at the signs of which toilet was the girls toilet or the guys one.
So she just pushed the door open not even caring about which gender bathroom she was about to enter.
She walked to one of the toilet stalls, which was occupied, and opened it. She saw a guy standing up with his hands at the front of his body and his legs spread apart, he was wearing a purple hoodie, the guy most of noticed someone was watching so he turned his head.

"Ah...hey..." he said. Not really sounding to be alarmed by a girl watching him take a piss.

"Hey...sorry," she said closing the door, laughing to herself. She only got to see the side of his face. And she still thought he was pretty cute.
The guy came out of the stall and went over to the sink.

"You do know that this is the guys bathroom?" he asked, not facing her as he washed his hands.

"Yeah I realized, but if this is the guys bathroom then what are you doing in here?" she said in a cheeky matter, laughing at her own joke, she heard him laugh too. He dried his hands, Kelly wanted to find out this guy's name, so she just stood there not caring about where she was.
He walked over to her, and stood in front of her in a relaxed way.

"Well...this has to be the ladies bathroom, because you're way to pretty to be a guy," he said, she went red and felt butterflies.
All she could do was slightly laugh. "What?..." he said smiling sheepishly. "It's true."

"Well thank you...Mr...Um...Mr. Guy I just met," she said, smiling back.

"It's Brendon. Mr. Brendon Urie. And you are?" he said holding out his hand.

"Kelly Matotek..." she said, sweetly smiling as she took his hand to shake as he had offered.

"Nice to meet you Miss...Miss right?"

"Yup," she said, blushing again.

"Nice to meet you [i]Miss> Matotek..." he said smiling. "Well, I gotta get back to my friends, I really hope to see you around the bar, I'll buy you a drink." He said, walking out.
Kelly had the biggest smile on her face, she couldn't believe she had met one of the most perfect guys.
She couldn't stand straight her knees were shaking, she lent up against the wall.

Little did she know, Mr Urie was shaking at the knees and up against the wall on the other side...

"Um...this is the guys bathroom..." Some random old guy said, breaking Kelly's thoughts.

"Oh sorry!" Kelly said, rushing out with that big smile on her face.

Once she was finished with the bathroom, she went out into the bar.
Where she say Cali sitting at the bar with a punch of guys, they were all laughing together.
She saw Cali swaying and taking shots of vodka from a shot glasses. She walked over and was suddenly attacked by a drunken Cali.

"My fucking god Kelly! Woo!" Cali yelled. "Join the fucking party!...These are my new friends, this one is Ryan, and that's Spencer, thats Jon...and I don't know that guy..." She watched has Cali pointed to the guy she had met earlier...

"Oh that's Brendon..." Ryan said to Kelly and Cali.

"Ryan this is Kelly, my best est, besty bester buddy ol' pal in the whole wide wide worlds!" Cali said, very drunkenly. Kelly's eyes were glued onto Brendon.

"Nice to meet you Kelly."

"Dido..." she said smiling to Ryan, after her eyes connected with Brendon's for a split second, she could see at the corner of her eye that he was glancing at her. She felt a touch of hope rise in her chest.

Spencer, Jon and Cali were all drunk, from playing a round of shots every 2 minutes. Ryan had left for a few minutes, leaving only Kelly -who was on a sugur high from coffee- and Brendon -who was also the same- to be the only some what sober ones.

"So you and Cali both live in the same house?" Brendon asked, completly interested in every word that was spoken by Kelly's lips.

"YES WE MOVED IN TOGETHER!" Cali yelled out, scarring Brendon.

"Sorry about her, she's had a tough couple of years..." Kelly said, rolling her eyes. Brendon laughed, she felt at home with this guy. Something she thought she would never feel about a guy.
Cali was trying to stand up straight while she talked to the other guys.
"So...ah, you guys are in a band?...It's funny, we always seem to meet guys who are in bands..."

"Yeah we are, we are pretty different from other punk bands..." he said, taking another sip of his coffee. "Maybe there is a reason for you always meeting guys in bands..." he said, trying to give her some kind of hint. She was hoping that what he meant was , maybe her always meeting bands would lead to her finally meeting him, the perfect guy. But she didn't want to get her hopes up.

But the thing was, Brendon did mean that. He just couldn't find the right words, after all, he thought he shouldn't get his hopes up about this perfect girl he had just met.

She didn't know what to say back...
"God, I really feel like grape flavor gum..." was all she could think of saying. He had a big smile on his face.

"Grape?"

"Yeah...I love the taste, I'm craving it..." she said, looking at Cali who was making a fool out of herself.
She turned back to Brendon, who was reaching down in his pocket, he pulled out a packed of grape flavored gum. And handed it to her.

"Freaky, I was too before..." Her smile went so big. "I'm gonna call you grapes from now on...it's my favorite flavor," he said laughing. She giggled.

"Um, guys...I don't mean to break the love connection between you tow love birds, but I think Cali kinda needs to go home..." Ryan interrupted. Kelly looked over to Cali who was sleeping on the ground. Kelly sighed and looked over at Brendon.

"Well, I guess I better take the drunk home..." Kelly said, feeling a pinch of anger at Cali.

"Um yeah..." Brendon said, not wanting to let Kelly get away.

"So you guys are only staying in town for a while?"

"Yeah...We have to find a place to stay tonight..."

"You guys can crash out or place, I need some help dragging the drunk home..." Kelly offered. She didn't really need help with Cali, she just didn't want Brendon to slip threw her fingers so quickly.

"That would be so kickass! Thanks!" Brendon said, taking the offer without even thinking.
3 drunks, and 3 sober/sure high people in a car. Sounds like a pretty weird situation, but they coped.
Kelly didn't have her car there, since they took a cab to the bar, so they went home in their van.
Kelly was sitting in the middle, next to Brendon, while Cali was passed out on her lap. Cali kept forcing Kelly up against Brendon.
Brendon's hand was supporting himself from being smashed into the window, some how, Kelly's hand landed next to Brendon's hands, they both didn't notice, until Kelly could feel Brendon's skin connecting with her skin.

And Cali also know what she was doing...pushing Kelly up against Brendon wasn't an accident...

Cali wanted Kelly to have something she couldn't have...
