I Traveled Through Time To Meet Billie Joe, chapter 4
"Hi," he said.
"Hi," I said trying to hide my bleeding joints.
"What are you doing there?"
"Nothing, I'm just washing my hands," I said.
"And why are you hiding?
"Hey, I'm ok!"I yelled. "I just don't wanna talk. You didn't either this morning at school, so let me alone."
"Wow, ok! Forgive me cuz I wanned to know what happened to you!"
I immediately realized I actually screamed at Billie. However I was still angry on him. I don't know why cuz it wasn't his fault I chased him. My joints were still hurting but I couldn't fell the pain any more. I was upset. That day really sucked. Nothing was going good. Billie Joe was hanging out with some freaks who were hurting people and I was so depressed that night that I barely slept. In the middle of the night I realized I told those guys I was Billie's sister.
"What are they going to do to Billie?" at the moment those guys caught me I didn't think at Billie's safety. I just told them. "How could I be so stupid?"I thought. But then I fall asleep. I was dreaming clowns, and that was wired. The morning came and I realized my wound was still visible. So I took my money which I earned from the library and I went straight to the mall, if that can be called mall. I bought myself a few bracelets for my both arms. That was great cuz my wounds weren't visible anymore. By the time I returned home Billie and Ollie were awake.
"Hi," Ollie said. "Where have you been?"
"Well, hi! I've just walked on the streets."
"Oh, nice bracelets," she said.
"Oh thanks. I've just bought them. But where is Billie?" I asked. "He was here a moment ago."
"Well I don't know. Oh...this boy. He must be at Mike's."
"I should look for him there. I've got something to tell him. Bye Ollie!" I said and I closed the door.
I didn't want to find Billie. Not at all. I couldn't see his face at that moment. But I was desperate to find out why he was hanging out with those guys. While I was thinking I found myself in the middle of the street.
"That's it. Two dollar Bill. Why didn't I realize? He's two dollar Bill. Oh my god. He's selling joints."
Suddenly I heard an auto horn. A man was blowing the horn inside his car. That was a big car. I mean was a big family car. There where almost five kids inside it.
"Hey watch out!" a boy screamed.
I got off the road but my eyes were still on that big car. It seemed to me I've seen someone I know. But I didn't know anybody from California, not even from the US.
"Hmm, new family in town. Whatever," I said and I continued my walking. I didn't know what to do now. So I kept walking on those streets. There was almost nobody but that didn't seem to bother me. My mind was traveling trough time, literarily. I was thinking at my family, my sister.
"Hmm, May what are you doing now. It's funny that mom called us May and Fay. Hm it's so pathetic. Well dad now you're really Einstein. And I bet you don't even know. So thanks to you I found Billie Joe. Oh god dammed I should find that bastard. But no, how would I tell him I was fallowing him?" I was really confused.
But maybe it was faith that brought Billie right in front of me.
"Oh, be careful Fay. Stop dreaming, god dammed!" he yelled.
"Excuse me! Why do you yell at me?" I asked angrily.
"I dunno, I'm frustrated. Sorry," he said and calmed down.
"It's alright. Don't worry."
"Let's just go home. Ok?"
"Aham. Let's go home."
It was night and cold outside. I and Billie were walking on the streets heading to our home. I opened the door of the house and I was going to turn on the lights.
"No. Don't do that," Billie said.
"Why?"
"Cuz mom is sleeping."
"Oh. Ok!"
Then we went upstairs and he went to his room and I in mine. I took of my only clothes and put on Billie's Pj and got in the bed. I started to think at the last couple of days: Billie Joe with that guy, my chase, me being a prisoner, the car that almost hit me and then the moment when I came into Billie. I remembered every moment like I was there again.
"Oh my god. My money!" I said and jumped from the bed. "I have no money now that I bought those stupid bracelets." How will I live two weeks without money? And tomorrow I have to give those money back to Jed," I and Jed were in good relationship so he lent me money a couple of times but now I had to give them back.
"Jed will be angry on me!" I thought. "Maybe if I ask Billie for some money. But no. he doesn't have money for himself, not to talk about barrow them. I know. Ollie. She's the only person in this house that has some money. What time is it?" I asked and I went to find the clock which was on the hall.
"Hmm, nine o'clock! It's early but Ollie isn't home," I went back to my room thinking of the ways that I could ask her for some money.
As I was getting in my bed I remember what Billie said almost an hour ago.
"Strange. He didn't want to turn on the lights. And he lied to me. Ollie doesn't come home until twelve. And he knows this perfectly. Something's up." I said and raised an eyebrow. I probably had bags under my eyes because of the sleep and the tiredness. But that didn't matter. Billie must have happened something. He wouldn't say that just like that.
I headed to his room and I knocked his door. Nobody answered. I mean he didn't answer. So I opened the door and entered. He was sleeping or just pretending to sleep. I realized he was snoring and I started to laugh. That snort was too loud and couldn't be truth.
"Hey Billie," I tried to wake him up.
"Hmm hmm." He opened one eye. "What?"
"Wake up!" I said and smiled.
"Why?" he asked.
"Wait a second to turn on the lights," I said and headed to the front wall.
"Don't do that!"
But anyway I turned on the light and I immediately realized that Billie was hiding his face in the sheets.
"Just stop it. Don't pretend any more. I know everything," I said but in fact I didn't know a thing.
He raised his head from the sheets and I was able to see that his eye was purple and that he had a few scratches on his forehead.
"What happened to you?"
"So you don't know? I thought you said you know everything," he said surprised.
"I just said. It doesn't have to be truth. But tell me.."
"Oh, it just happened, my sister!" he said sarcastically.
"Because of that?"
"Yes because of that. What did you thought?"
"Well I didn't realize at that moment but then...Oh I'm so sorry. I'll bring you something cold to put on that eye," I said and left.
A minute later I arrived with a wet towel and I put it on Billie's eye. As I was doing that he touched my hand.
"I hope that's feeling better," I said.
"So much better," he said while closing his eyes.
Then he opened one eye and probably saw my injuries from my joints cuz he started to yell.
"What the fuck happened to your joints. Don't tell me it's them again."
"Yes, my brother! Why did you have to hang out with them? I don't know, they sell drugs or what?"
"No, I sell joints. They give them to me. You see it's easy. And I earn money from this. I mean it was easy before you came in. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about them. See what happened to both of us just because you wanned to chase me." He said with a silly smile.
"Yeah I know, and I'm sorry. Please forgive me. If it's something I can do to repair this..." I said.
"Oh it's something. You'll have to sell joins for me. I can't do it anymore and I need money."
"Oh you're such a bastard. How can you even imagine I can do such thing?" I asked angrily.
"Come on, it's not big deal. It's just joints. Everybody smoke that now." He came next to me on the bed. "See that's gonna make your job easier."
"But I can't I have a job."
"Hey it won't take long. Just a few minutes a day. You owe me."
"But I can take the joints from that guys and you'll keep selling then. What about that."
"No they'll see me and I promised I'll never do something to compromise them."
"And then what am I supposed to do? Give the money I earn to you. Just like a whore?" I said more angrily than ever.
"Whoa calm down you'll get half," he said and hugged me.
"Half from what? A few dollars? This is a total bullshit! And what's more I got injured myself. See?" and I took my bracelets off. See? You have no idea of my pain." I was probably making fool of myself but still I started to cry.
"Hey calm down. It's not the end of the world. Come on stop crying. I raised my head and I saw his eyes. Then just like that he kissed me.
At that moment my whole body was going cold. I couldn't feel my arms and suddenly my injures started to hurt. A few tears run down my face and stopped just between our lips. It felt like I wasn't there. Like the girl who was kissed my Billie Joe was a fake and that wasn't good. But still I felt like that kiss lasted forever.
"Hi," I said trying to hide my bleeding joints.
"What are you doing there?"
"Nothing, I'm just washing my hands," I said.
"And why are you hiding?
"Hey, I'm ok!"I yelled. "I just don't wanna talk. You didn't either this morning at school, so let me alone."
