I Traveled Through Time To Meet Billie Joe, chapter 3
I put on my usual clothes as I hadn't anything else to wear and went straight to
Billie's car. He was there waiting for me and a few minutes later he started the engine.
"So where is this party?" I asked.
"You'll see!"
"Ok"
He drove for about an hour until we reached the ocean. I figured out. It was an outside party on the beach. From the distance I saw Mike. He was hanging out with some kids. It was so cool. Then to my surprise I saw Tre. He was making fool of himself and drinking beer. Everybody seemed to have fun.
"Hi," I said to Mike.
"Hi, what's up? How did you get here?" he asked.
"Billie brought me" I said and smiled.
"Cool, where is he?"
"I dunno. It was with me a minute ago."
"Oh. Don't worry he must be with Karen."
"With who?" I asked.
"His new girlfriend."
I was so shocked. I didn't know Billie had a girlfriend. And I say I live with him. I should have known. " New?" I asked Mike.
"Yeah. He met her yesterday at the library!" he replied.
"But I work at the library, and he didn't come there yesterday. I mean. I'm supposed to see everyone who come there." I said cause Mike seemed to act strange.
"I dunno. He told so."
I was trying not to think at Billie in that moment cuz I wanted to have fun.
"Hey who's he?" I asked pointing at Tre.
"Oh he's a dude. I dunno. He's some kind of drummer who can be borrowed."
"And you 'borrowed' this guy?" I asked.
"Oh no we have our very own drummer."
"Al!"
"Yep"
"I never met Al! is he a nice guy?"
"Yeah he's funny. Hey there he is! Why don't you go met him?"
"Ok!" I said
Back home I've barely seen Al. Only in a few pictures.
"Hi," I said
"Hi. Aren't you Fay?" he asked
"Yeah, it's me!"
I wasn't in the mood to talk with Al but I had nobody to hang out with.
"Do you know where Billie is?" I asked.
"I dunno. I didn't see him tonight. Is he here?"
"Never mind. Thanks anyway" I said and I left.
Everybody was drunk here. I walked away. I reached the ocean and I touched the water. It was cold. I started to walk until I saw Billie with that girl Karen. They were laying there and were watching the sky. I raised my head too. There where thousand of stars. Pretty romantic I'd say. But I didn't go to them. I stopped there. I found a rock and I sit. I stayed there for about 30 minutes and then I left. I didn't like this party anymore and I wanted to go home. I mean Billie's home. Everybody was having fun and I didn't want to bother them by asking for a lift. But I couldn't take Billie's car either. So a few minutes later I was hitchin' a ride on the highway. I laugh but I started to sing Hitchin a ride. By the time I finished the song nobody had stopped for me. I looked at my watch.3 o'clock in the damm morning. Then I saw a car. The driver wouldn't stop so I trough myself in the middle of the road.
"Are you nutts?" the driver asked.
"No!" I yelled. "But you wouldn't stop. And I've been here for almost two hours."
Then the man got off his car. It was Tre. I was so happy.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I am now!" I laugh. "Would you like to give me a lift? Please!!"
"Ok!"
And that was the night I met Tre.
At about 4 I arrived home. Ollie was sleeping so I tried to make silence. Billie hadn't come yet. As I was getting in bed I heard the door opening. It was probably Billie so I got in the bed quickly cuz I didn't want to talk to him. The morning came quickly. I was awake at 7 cuz I had to go to work. In the kitchen I met Billie.
"Hey!"I said
"Hi!"Billie said with a sad voice.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing!"
"Something must have happened! You can't be sad just like that!"
"Why did you have to leave so soon?" he asked me.
"Leave?"
"Yeah, last night! Why did you have to walk away?"
"I was bored and I didn't know anyone. Ya'know. You were busy." I said. "But tell me! What happened? I'm your friend"
"Oh well it happened again!" he said sadly.
"What happened?"
"She. She walked away with her boyfriend and said 'Maybe we'll meet again someday'."
"She's such a bitch! She was watching the sky with you while having a boyfriend?"
"How do you know that?" he asked.
"I assumed!" I said quickly.
"And you left so soon last night. I just wanted to have fun. But then I was worried about you cuz nobody had seen you walk away."
Oh my god he was worried about me!
"You shouldn't have! Tre gave me a lift!"
"Who?" he said.
He didn't even know Tre.
"A guy I met there!"
"Hey! Didn't you have a job? I think you're already late." He said while looking at the clock.
Wow, I'm so late!!!" I said and I run outside.
That day was so boring. Nobody came to the library and I felt like I was in hell. I wished I could listen to some music but I couldn't. I missed my friends and strangely, my family. There was nothing to do in this town. Outside was so hot and I had no air condition. Now more than ever I wanted Billie to fall in love with me. But he thought we could only be friends. I was angry. I closed the library and I went home. There was nothing to do either. The TV channels sucked and so did the video games. Surprisingly I found a book and I started to read. At 7 o'clock came Billie from god knows where.
"Wow. You're really reading?" he asked.
"Yeah I found this book on the table! It's something wrong?"I asked. Then a saw a strange look on Billie's face.
"Hey, since you already started to read this book would you like to sum it up for me?"He asked.
"What? Why would I do such thing?"
"Because! Please, for me!"
He was so cute. Suddenly I saw him on his knees, begging me.
"Please. I have to prove my teacher I read it! Please.!!"He kept begging.
"But you didn't read it!"
"So?" he said while his eyes were shining.
He was too cute. And I couldn't stand so I accepted. I did Billie's homework.
The next day came. In the morning Billie told me he was going to school.
"Of course, since I've done his homework." I said in my mind.
So when Billie left the house the next day, I put on a jacket, it must have been Billie's, and I went for a walk. I had the day off at the library so it was ok. Outside was kinda cold cuz it was almost the end of August. I thought to go to Billie's school and when I arrived there I remembered my own school back home.
"Oh, it's been a few weeks since I left. They must probably think I'm skipping school!" I said and I laugh.
Then I saw Billie. He was right in the front of the school, alone. He was waiting was someone as I could be able to realize.
"Hey, Billie!!!" I yelled.
He turned around and said a nice "Hi."
"Sorry, were you waiting for someone?!" I asked.
"Hmm..I thought so. But the guy didn't come," He said nervously.
"What guy?" I asked.
"You don't know him!!"
"It doesn't matter. Tell me!"
"What's the use? Why did you come here anyway?"
I could see he was really angry. I didn't want Billie to be angry on me so I changed the subject.
"So how was the homework?"
"It was fine. Sorry but I have to go now!!"He said and left immediately.
"That's all!? After I did his homework that how he pays me?" I said angrily.
I chased him. He was acting really strange. He kept watching around as he knew someone might have fallowed him. Then a strange guy came and shacked his hand with Billie's. I fist thought that guy was a dope but then I saw some dark circles under his eyes. I knew he hadn't sleep for a long time. It was that or he was really a dope. Then he started to talk with Billie. They hang out for awhile. They wouldn't stop watching around and that annoyed me. They walked and walked until they reached the suburbia. It was pretty creepy there. Then they entered a house. I couldn't fallow them anymore but I wouldn't give up. I walked around the house. The backyard was a mess but made my way trough those things and I reached the window. Billie was there. And that guy too. But there was also a woman and she started talk to them. But then I felt an arm on my shoulder and I turned my head and that's it. I didn't see a thing. But then I woke up in a room. There were three guys and that woman.
"What the hell were you doing there!??!" asked one of the guys angrily.
"Nothing! It was a mistake." I said desperately. I was afraid cuz I didn't know who those guys were.
"How could it be a mistake when you were watching the window?" Another guy asked. It seemed that I've done something really bad. I tried to move but I realized I had hand cuts.
"Hey remember that guy who was here??" I said
"How do you know a guy was here?" a guy asked very angrily.
"She was watching the window dude!" his friend said.
"Oh god dammed. This is a really fucked up day."
"Hey do you remember him???" I insisted.
"What's with him?"
"Well I know him. I'm... ..his... sister."
"What the hell is Armstrong's sister doing in my house!" the woman started to scream.
"Calm down, mom!!" one pf the guys said.
"Get her out!! Immediately!!"
The guys listened to her and before I knew it I was laying on the pavement in the front of their house.
"What the hell was that!!?" I asked myself. "He'll wish he never met me when I'll arrive home." I yelled.
It was evening. As I was walking on those streets I started to stare at people. They were all acting strange. They seemed to be sleeping but in fact they didn't. I get it. They took drugs. Man they were in a bad shape. I was really tired and upset at the same time. My joints were hurting. I looked down at them and they were bleeding.
"That dammed bastards! What did they thought? I was a spy or what. Oh Armstrong I'm gonna kill you. All this is because of you. By the time I reached Billie's house my joints were bleeding so much. I went straight to the bathroom to wash the blood. God that really hurt. And as I was washing my joints Billie came in.
Billie's car. He was there waiting for me and a few minutes later he started the engine.
"So where is this party?" I asked.
"You'll see!"
"Ok"
