We've Made It So Far, chapter 1
I felt a chill running up my spine, I am standing alone on a country road,
'or am I?' I look further up the road to see tail lights about a quarter of a mile along the road. The road is surrounded by fields , trees every once in awhile. I ran to the tail lights that were off the road as I get closer the sun starts to rise. I see what the car is, it's familiar, I know this car. I try and scream but can't , the air trapped in my lungs. My feet feel like the are frozen in place as I try to run towards the black BMW. I cry out in pain as I see blood on the lonesome tree the car had hit. I fall to my knees giving up on my legs and falling onto the ground. I feel the life coming backed to my cramped body, love taking over my strength. I reach the car faster than I realize to see the most hideous sight of my life. I see an arm trying to grab its way out of the almost over turned car , as my eyes work my way up the arm I see a full head of messy black hair and I do scream this time.
I sit up in bed panting , covered in ice cold sweat. I pull at the comforter and almost fall to the other side of the bed to find Billie. I reach his arm and let out a relieved sigh.
"Oh my god you're all right!" I whisper underneath my breath. I pull him into a hug from behind him and snuggle into the back of his neck and let out another sigh. I feel his relaxed breathing and murmurs as he sleeps. I smile at the fact he knows nothing of the horror he had just put me through. As I lay there realizing I can't even begin to think about sleep and decided to get up and make breakfast before the boys went to school. It will be a nice gesture to have their dad drive them I thought. Since both of us were heading out to go to Europe tonight and wouldn't be able to see them afterwards and Ollie was going to pick them up. I head down stairs and start to make some omelets.
"Joey wake up, it's time for breakfast." I nudge him a little and see his big brown eyes awake. I smile and help him out of bed and hand him a shirt and jeans. I make my way down the hall and see Jakob in his bed snoring. I chuckle at how much he seems like Billie. I knock on the door frame gently and see him jerk a little. He wasn't a heavy sleeper like Billie though.
"Jakob come on time for breakfast, get up, you have school!" Now one last kid to wake up. I reach the last door and I run and jump on the bed.
"Huh, what's going o-o-on" I smile as he yawns his last word and falls out of bed. I hear a groan and a loud thump. I giggle at his clumsiness and give him a hand to help him up. He starts towards the door and stubs his toe on the way out. I follow him as he swears a storm and just laugh as he runs down stairs excited to get some food.
I laugh when I see Billie, Jakob, and Joey all staring in amazement as Tre shovels food into his mouth, probably eating as much as he can before I came down.
" Tre what are you doing here?!"
"Oh uh hi Adrienne! I was just uhh, stopped by to say good bye to the boys and umm... "
"You're welcome to as much as you want as long as everyone gets something to eat." he laughs and continues to eat.
I look into the rearview mirror at the boys sad faces and make my own. I feel like I'm abandoning them. I just can't wait to get back Monday and see them happy again. Even though they won't be completely happy without Billie there with us, it always kills them to know they won't see him for awhile. I turn on the radio to any channel and listen.
"For all you Green Day fans out there , good news is they are back from their break and will be going on tour for a couple months! They are heading over to Europe this week end as one of their very first concerts. We have a caller on line six maybe she would like to say something." there was a pause and then a loud scream
" Oh my god I fucking love Green Day" another loud scream and then a click. Billie turned off the radio, and frowned. The only thing worse than seeing Joey and Jakob upset was seeing Billie so upset because it was so rare. We all got out of the car to say good bye and hugged and kissed the boys but were careful none of Jakob's friends saw. I felt a jerking inside of me as the boys walked into the doors and we got back into the car. I looked at him one more time and saw his emerald eyes go glazy. He didn't want to leave them and neither did I but we had no choice.
"They'll be fine Billie."
"I know but... I just hate leaving them. It's hurts them so bad. That god damned radio annoucer didn't make anything better by specifying how long we would be gone!"
"I'll bring them out to see you on a long weekend and ... everything will be okay."
The rest of the car ride was silent. This weekend was going to be great but it would take awhile to get used to it just being us. We pulled in the drive way aware that we had three more hours before we had to be at Mike's house. Billie must have been thinking the same thing because I looked over and saw his mischievous smile I jumped out of the car and we ran through the house. Every once in awhile Billie would get a hold of me and grab my ass. I would giggle as we played our game of tag but was soon ended when Billie couldn't wait any more. Needless to say we arrived late to Mike's place.
