Panic Attacks can lead to coma's, and comas can lead to Good Things, chapter 4
"Sup. You're really coming along there, Tani," he says, admirably. I grin at him.
"Play me a song. Play me...ummm...the solo in Minority. You know I love that one," I say, and look at him expectantly. Billie starts playing the solo and I pretend to mosh.
When he stops playing, he looks at me.
"What would you say if I asked you to move to California, and I was to bring you up like Joe and Jake?" he asked me.
"What? Really? You wouldn't mind me living with you? Really?" I burble excitedly.
"Yeah, I mean, otherwise you'll have to go into an orphanage, and they are mean!" he says.
"Yeah, I want to come live with you, but it means leaving Ellis behind, and Ruby, and Jazz...but I'm sure they'll forget about me..."
Billie Joe's P. O. V.
Tania starts crying uncontrollably. I comfort her the best I can. I was so sure she would be happy about going to live with us in California. I think she is, but you can never be too sure. It's probably just the shock of moving to a place rather a long way away. She'll cheer up... Hopefully...
Tania's P. O. V.
I don't know what to do. I know its incredibly kind of Billie to let me go and live with him, but I don't want to! I pretended to be happy and excited but I've only just settled down here, and made new friends. When we move, I know for a fact that that absolute BITCH Kayleigh will try and make a move on Ez (Ellis), and as I'm gone he might just give in to her. I'll sleep on it.
Next Morning
Same P. O. V.
I get up as usual at 6:45am and get ready for school. I put on my royal blue sweat shirt and polo shirt, with black trousers and absolutely disgusting Clarks shoes. Its not my fault. I wouldn't wear this out of choice if it was that or dying. Walking downstairs I greet Billie who stares at me.
"You look terrible." Oh that's very nice.
"Thanks, good morning to you too..." I mumble.
Tre slept over last night so the living room was a mess of lager and vodka bottles. As I walk in, Tre runs around picking them up in case I was tempted to drink from them.
"No," he yells.
"No what?"
"You can't have alcohol! Stay away! Wait until I've picked them up!" he screeches. Okay...I leave the room to go and do my eyeliner.
When I finally feel I have enough eyeliner on I leave the loo and look at the clock.
"OH SHIT! It's 8:15! I've missed the fucking bus!" I screech. Billie Joe walks out of the front room.
"Hey Missy, no swearing! I know I do but you're only 14 and there's no need of it." Brilliant. Because mum is gone, and Emma, Billie feels he is the responsible adult in charge of me. Which he most definitely is not. I grab my bag and start running to school.
"OI! Tania! Tania!" Billie yells after me. I trudge back to him, feeling stupid. I know he is my brother, but sometimes its like he's a celebrity, and I'm boring old Tania that has never met him.
"Hey Tan, You do know that its Sunday? Tre switched the date and time in your alarm clock, knowing you are all messed up and moving next week... "he rambled on.
"Wait! What? We're leaving next week? You never told me!" I say, glaring at him.
"Didn't I?...well, congratulations, next week we are moving back to Oakland!"
I stare at him, hating him for his joking at such a touchy subject for me, loving him for being so caring, and being shocked. Its more than I can bear, and I rush into my bedroom and cry into a pillow.
After about an hour, Mike comes in, clutching a cup of coffee. He sits down on the bed beside me.
"What do you want?" I snarl at him. He looks back startled. "Sorry, sorry...I'm just in a depressed mood now. Why didn't Billie tell me?" I mutter.
"You can't blame him. He only found out today like you. That why he said it in a conversation, rushed. The thing is, he and Adie found something out today..."... "
"Play me a song. Play me...ummm...the solo in Minority. You know I love that one," I say, and look at him expectantly. Billie starts playing the solo and I pretend to mosh.
