Love You, chapter 4
THREE WEEKS LATER
NO ONE'S POV
Stephanie had her guitaring figured out with Billie. Mike and Tre had noticed it wasn't the same between them. The only time Billie ever talked to Stephanie was when they were doing guitar. It wasn't ever a real conversation. They noticed Stephanie acting different than normal. She was a lot quieter then she usualy was.
TRE'S POV
I walked into the living room to find Stephanie watching t. V. I decided to sneak up on her and run around the room with her on my back. The exact way I had done a few weeks ago. I just wanted to see her reaction, since she has been quiet lately.
Quietly, I crawled up to the back of the our shitty couch. I grabbed her off the couch and started to run. Stephanie started to get really mad at me this time.
"TRE GOD DAMN IT! PUT ME DOWN NOW MOTHER FUCKER!" Stephanie shouted angrily. She started to pound on my back.
I finally decided to put her down. Billie and Mike came out to see what was going on.
"TRE WHY DID YOU DO THAT? WHY CAN'T I BE LEFT ALONE?" Tears were starting to stream down her face. "WHY CAN'T YOU BE SERIOUS FOR ONCE FRANK EDWIN WRIGHT III?"
Stephanie grabbed her converse and ran out the door.
"Tre what did you do?" Mike glared.
"Alls I did was pick her up and run around the room. You know like that one day?" I shrugged and gave a face that said no big deal.
"Then why is she so pissed off?" Billie said speaking to know one inparticular.
"Beyond me." I said shrugging.
STEPHANIE'S POV
I walked down the street as tears continued to stream down my face. I ran to the park. It always seemed better when I was there. I took a seat on my usual bench and watched the kids play and run around. I felt a hand grasp my shoulder tightly. A shiver went up my spine. It was Pete.
"Pete go away." I stated a little scared.
"Why? I am your boyfriend. I can do what I want." He said with a low laugh. "Get up."
"Why?" I knew damn well why.
"Let's go now."
"Where?" I knew damn well where.
"You know damn well where. Now get up and let's go."
I got up and walked slowly to his car.
MIKE'S POV
We had all decided to go look at the park for her. That was her favorite place to go. We arrived and saw at the otherside was lookign rather upset. She was reluctantly getting into a car with Pete. They guys and I looked at each other and started off for his apartment.
NO ONE'S POV
The three guys were walking up to Pete's apartment building. They walked up the stairs and stopped at his door. They heard Stephanie's muffeled cry and heavy breathing. Pete was calling hert a filthy slut. At that moment Tre, Billie, and Mike couldn't take it anymore. They burst through the door to find Pete getting ready to hit Stephanie.
Pete hadn't noticed the guys in time and hit Stephanie.
"Filthy slut." He said.
Tears stremaed harder down her face as she looked up at us in fear. Pete looked back at us and glared.
"Oh hi. Wasn't expecting people." He obviously didnt know they saw him hit her. "Stephanie just tripped over. That is why she is crying."
"BULLSHIT!" Billie screamed. Stephanie started to get up to run over to them.
"SIT BACK DOWN NOW!" Pete yelled.
"LEAVE HER ALONE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Tre screamed as he pounced with Billie. The both started to beat him to a bloody pulp. Mike walked over to Stephanie and held her in his arms. She cried hard into his chest. He picked her up and walked out of the apartment. He took her back to the apartment.
MIKE'S POV
I layed her down on the couch when we got home and she fell asleep. Awhile later Billie Joe walked in with Tre leaning on his shoulder. They were seriously messed up. Limping, black eyes, bloody split lips, bloody noses and many other bruises.
BILLIE'S POV
Mike was sitting with a sleeping Stephanie on the couch. Me and Tre walked away into the bathroom so we could fix our bloody lips, noses and other stuff we got from beating Pete to a bloody pulp.
When we were done, Stephanie was awake and sitting quietly with her knees hugged to her chest. We all just sat on the couch quietly watching some tv. Stephanie walked up and out of the room and into the bathroom. She hadn't spoken a word to anyone since she left earlier that day. Minutes had passed and Stephanie was still in the bathroom.
STEPHANIE'S POV (same time as Billie's thoughts are going on)
I sat on the bathroom floor with my knees hugged to my chest. I got up and opened to cabinet door found a ravor sitting off to the side. Slowly, I picked it up and sat back down on the floor. I rolled my sleave up and slid the razor across my skin. There wer some scars from the past already there. Now my blood trickled over them again. I slid the razor a few more times and felt dizzy. I started to reach for the door knob which had already begun to turn. I stood there feeling even more dizzy infront of the Billie. I collapsed right there and the last thing I saw and heard was Billie looking at me with widedened eyes screaming for the other guys.
NO ONE'S POV
The guys called 911 and Stephanie was taken to the hospital. They treated her cuts and bruises.
"You guys can go sit with her if you like. She's still sleeping, but should wake up sometime." Said some old nurse.
Mike went to get coffee and Tre went with.
BILLIE'S POV
I walked into the hospital room and cringed when I saw her body. I sat beside her bed praying she would wake up. I started to talk to her even though I knew she couldn't hear me. I started to cry and got up to leave.
"Don't leave me Billie." I heard her whisper. Quickly, I turned around to see her waking up slowly and trying to force a smile. I ran to her and hugged her tightly.
"Billie, your hurting me." Stephanie said weakly. I let go of her and blushed slightly.
"Don't ever do that to me again. You scared me shitless." I spoke sternly.
We sat in a comfortable silence for awhile occasionally smiling at each other, until Mike and Tre walked in.
"Stephanie! Your awake." Mike smiled and gave her a small hug. "You feelin ok?"
"I'm good Mike." She said in no louder than a whisper.
"How's it shakin bacon?" Tre said goofily giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Nice to see you to Tre." She faked another smile.
NEXT DAY
STEPHANIE'S POV
I waited in my room for Tre to come back with some clothes that I could wear. I can tell that Billie is happy that I am coming home today. I was laying on the hospital bed with Billie looking at a magazine beside me. Mike was out getting coffee for Billie, Tre, himself, and me.
"I am really happy you can come home today." Billie said.
"Me too."
"Stephanie?" Billie says catching my attention.
"Hhmm?"
"Can I tell you something?" I could feel his peircing emarald green eyes burn into me. I looked at him and instantly our eyes locked.
"You can tell me anything Billie. We have known each other for a long time. You know that." I replied. I noticed he was starting to get nervous and was having trouble speaking.
"I... I... I want to tell you..."
"Tell me what?" I started to get scared for what he was about to tell me.
"I... I really..." He got more nervous with every word that slipped from his mouth.
"Really... What?"
"FUCK THIS! STEPHANIE I LOVE YOU! I REALLY LOVE YOU AND IF YOU DON"T FEEL THE SAME I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITH MYSELF!" He looked relieved, worried, nervous, and about to cry all at the same time.
Tears started to slip from his eyes, which were going bright green. I was shocked. I never thought he would ever like me. Ever. I like him. I really like him. "Billie..." A tear slipped down my cheeks. "I... I really love you too." I said softly. I stood up from the hospital bed and he walked over to me. He kissed me with his soft lips. He kissed me hard. I kissed him back just as hard. I've been waiting for this moment for the longest time. I could tell he wanted this just as badly. We pulled from each other.
"What about the band?" We said simultaniously.
"Billie, what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know if it we should tell the guys yet. I don't know how they will react." Billie looked into space thinking.
"Why don't we just not tell them." Billie raised an eyebrow at me.
"That just might work. Let's just try to keep it from them as long as possible." We shook on that and Tre walked in the door with my clothes and Mike with the coffee. Tre handed me my stuff and Mike handed me a Starbucks cup.
I walked int the bathroom and dug in my bag for clothes as the boys waited in the room.
MIKE'S POV
I sat down in a chair and waited for Stephanie to come out so we could leave. Billie seemed a little different than when I left him here with Stephanie. I decided to just shrug it off and wait. Stephanie came out a minute later with her hair in her brushed and down, heavy eyeliner, an old Sex Pistols shirt, a really dark green jacket, baggy black jeans, and a pair of old red chucks.
"Let's go home guys!" she smiled and started for the door. Suddenly she stopped. "Tre?"
"You don't even have to say another word." He ran to her and picked her up like he had done before. Tre smacked her ass and Stephanie laughed slightly with her hair flying all over. "Yup. Still got that sexy ass huh boys?"
Billie was a bit upset with Tre smacking her ass and calling it sexy. I could sense jealousy in Billie's peircing green eyes.
We all ran round the hospital and checked Stephanie out to take her home. We decided to stay in that night and practice for the band. We were sounding pretty good so, we gave it a rest for awhile. Stephanie brought out the joints. Pretty much all we did was get high and break a few glasses and shit like that.
