I Traveled Through Time To Meet Billie Joe, chapter 8
Time passed and before we knew it was October. Mike had no problems anymore because he had told his teachers he had left the band but it wasn't like that. When Halloween came Sweet Children were invited to sing at a local party in someone's house. Of course they went cuz Billie and the guys needed money. The show turned out to be a total success and they became almost famous in Rodeo. By that time Billie had written Going to Pasalaqua, 16 and At the Library.
As Billie would say later we were having the time of our lives watching the clock ticks. After their show nothing happened. Everyone seemed to live in a routine. And so did we: I was going to work sometimes then to school when I was in the mood and then I came home and find the guys practicing.
And this until February the next year. I realized then, that in a month I was going to be born. Literary. I was wondering what was going to happen to me.
"Am I going to get extinct?" I thought in a morning lying on my bed. Then I heard the door bell which interrupted me from thinking.
"Why can't he go to answer it?" I asked thinking at Billie. I went downstairs and I opened the door. I saw no one. But when I looked down I saw two geese.
"What the?" I looked at them and I saw something stick on ones neck. I took it and I read : Happy Birthday! Hope you like our present. Have a nice dinner or keep them as pets. Charlie and Bobby. P.S. say thanks for the geese cuz Bobby wanned to buy you a "Nice, pinky, trendy shirt with green buttons and black spots."
I turned the note up site down and there was a second P.S. we're waiting for Sweet Children to come to the party of the decade in our garden.
"Billie's birthday?! I totally forgot. We're on fucking February 17?" as I was talking by myself the two geese entered in the house.
"Come on you dirty ducks!" they were running in circles but I couldn't catch them. At some moment I even fall.
"Billie!!!" I yelled but he didn't herd me cuz he was playing Blue. I run upstairs and I opened his door angrily.
"Come and take your little present from Charlie and Bobby," I said with and evil look.
"Oh dammit not another duck!" he said and put Blue on his bed.
"No this time is two geese. I'll cut off their throat if you don't catch them. They broke things down in the kitchen."
"Ok, calm down."
"Hey , Billie!"
"Happy birthday!" I said and I kissed him.
"Thanks."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot," he said and smiled to me and my heart melt again.
"There are times when you feel like you don't belong to this world." That was exactly what I felt in that moment. Creepy things were imagined by my brain. A second after I kissed Billie I imagined I was in a surgery room, with blood all over me a doctors saying "We're loosing her!" At some moment when I touched the wall I felt a pain in my stomach.
The night came, and I left the house to go to Charlie's. I knew Billie will be there. On the streets, kids that I didn't see before were doing shenanigans. They were lighting things and then let them explode. I tried to yell at them to stop.
"You fucking brads! Stop it!" the loud noises of the explosions caused me headaches.
"Hey watch out!" I heard someone screaming and I turned to see who he was.
In that instance a firefight exploded in my face and the only thing I remember is that I collapsed down with a terrible pain in my stomach. I heard yells around me and then the ambulance. Then I heard someone. "She's not breathing!"
"Please everybody step back! I think she's dying."
"No she can't die!" This was the only voice that I recognized. It was Billie's.
"Bring her to life you idiots!"
I couldn't open my eyes or my moth but I wasn't dead. I'm sure of it. I couldn't be.
"Step back kid! You're not helping us."
Then I felt a hand on my stomach. It hurt so bad.
"Can I come with her?" asked Billie
"You can't come with us because she's dead," the same voice who told the crowd to step back, replied.
"No she can't be dead."
"I'm sorry."
"Where are those bastards you killed her?"
I was lifted in the ambulance and there I could hear what the doctors were saying:
"To bad she died. She's just a jinx. Those kids should be put in jail."
"The injuries are serious especially on her stomach and on her face. She's totally disfigured. If she would've lived she would've been blind. Tragic faith indeed."
"Dudes I'm not dead! Can't you see I'm breathing? What the fuck? Aren't you supposed to know everything? And do something with the fucking wound cuz it's hurting me to death!" I tried to yell but it felt like I was paralyzed. And my eyes, I couldn't open my eyes.
"Would you please take her to morgue," someone said.
"What are you people crazy?" I dropped a tear but It just felt like I did cuz in fact my eyes were dry. What am I supposed to at the morgue if I'm alive?
Then I didn't care about me. I thought at Green Day: "I thought I was gonna be with them forever. Be next to them when they write American Idiot."
A minute later I was on a kind of table. I felt cold. A girl entered and but that ticket that they put to every dead body.
"She's colder then the others!"
"God if I'm dead why can't I be just like the other dead persons."
I stayed on that table for more than a week until Ollie and Mike came for my body. Mike opened my eyes and I was so glad to see him again.
"No wonder Billie stayed home. I think her eyes bleed. I could see Ollie who was dressed in black.
"We'll make her a nice funeral. Too bad we can't call her family too."
Oh my god I was going to be buried.
"No hope for me. Huh, God?
"What are my parents thinking right now? My dad must have realized his machine worked. He's a genius."
"The time machine brought me here and the same machine doesn't let me go. I bet that's why I'm still here in this dead body. In my real time I'm growing in my mother's body. So I'm alive but in a different time, whereas here my body is dead. So this means that for Billie, Mike and Tre I'm dead. Oh and I didn't linked a friendship with Tre. This is what I get if I play with time. Now I'll have to live my life from the very begging or maybe I'm gonna die. Doesn't life suck?"
Ollie and Mike took me home and put me in my bed. Like the first time I came in this house I passed by Billie's room and I saw Blue. He was more like a person now than an object. He smiled me. I knew that. I saw the letters B and J and that was the last time I spelled his name.
As soon as they put me in a coffin and put ground on me and died in their time. I left them, there, crying and praying for me as I was heading to my own, private time.
In the moment I closed my eyes and opened the again and saw doctors all over. It was my birth. I yelled and yelled until I reached my mom's arms. From there on my mind unloaded and I couldn't remember anything. I could just hear my mom's voice.
"Let's name her Fay."
And Fay it was...
The end.
