So life can get better! (Includes Green Day and Adrienne so no teenie comments), chapter 13

*2 weeks later, Rebyl's POV*

"Rebyl, we are looking at your stats and we were going to tell you that you need rehab but you have progressed so dramatically that we are just saying go on home."
"Really?" I asked. Nobody was here. Everyone needed a night home and it was 9:00.
"Yes. Go on get out of here. I got you a taxi so you can surprise your family."
"I don't have any restrictions or anything?"
"Yes, no underage drinking and stay in school, well I guess I was too late for that." I stood up and grabbed two of my bags while Dr. Henderson grabbed my guitar.
"You break that thing and I swear you will have a broken nose," I told him as he picked up Samuel.
"Oh, I believe you." We walked out to the taxi and he put my stuff in the trunk and I told the driver where I wanted to go. Everyone, the Green Day guys, Adie, Joey, and Jake; went to my house for practice. I wasn't supposed to get out of the hospital for another 2 ½ weeks. Lucky me! As the taxi pulled up to my house I stepped out and punched the code into the pin pad at the gate. I walked up the driveway and to the front door. I punched in another set of numbers and got my house key out. I put the key in and turned the lock. I opened the door and could hear the steady drum beat of Trè's drums to a song my dad and I wrote a few days ago called Are We the Waiting. I walked around the corner and into the kitchen.

I saw my mom talking to Annie and Jake and Joey on the floor playing with toy trucks to the Spongebob Squarepants theme song. I walked in and grabbed my mom and covered her eyes. She was freaking out while Annie looked at me with a shocked face and then started laughing. I then let go and ran downstairs to where the guys were practicing. Their backs were turned to me and they started playing another new song called Blvd. of Broken Dreams.

It all seemed like slow motion; I jumped onto my dad's back and he fell over. Trè and Ronny were the only ones who could see me. They stopped what they were doing and ran over and piled on my dad. Jason W. looked over and jumped on top. Mike then looked over and sat his bass down and jumped on top of everyone else. Jason F. decided this was a good of time as any to jump on top. He jumped and landed with a thump on top of us. Joey and Jake ran downstairs and on top of everyone. Finally, when everything seemed to go the right speed, I heard my dad scream something about being jumped before we all got off of him. He looked around and realized it was just us.

"I'm gonna fucking kill... Rebyl?"
"What, don't kill me!"
"No, what are you... how are you home?"
"They told me I was okay to come home and start recording the album but I have to drink tons of water and I can't drink coffee anymore, but you already know that part."
"Wow, okay then we can start recording tomorrow, but for now let's give you homecoming party of some sort," Mike inquired.
"YEAH PAR-TAY!" Trè and Ronny yelled in unison.
"O... k then," I said as I gave them a weird look.

We all ran upstairs with Trè, my dad, Joey, Ronny, Jason, and Jason chanting "PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!" with the little squeaky voice that was Jakob going "Pawty, pawty, pawty." He said his first words 2 days after I went into the hospital. They were, "When is Webby coming home?" He walked into my hospital room saying it over and over again with my dad just smiling the whole time.

We finally got up the steps and my aunts and uncles and cousins, including Josh, John, and David; I got multiple hugs and kisses and 'welcome home's'. Josh and John were in their own little corner. I walked over to them and asked why they were in their own little corner.

"We aren't really party people. Oh and nice job beating Sarah's ass. She's in the hospital because of a mixture of you and us."
"Wait, what did you do?"
"We hunted her down and beat the living shit out of her."
"Nice... "
"Nice job getting kicked out I mean we had to drop out but you got chucked out, lucky!"
"Really? So that's why you weren't wearing uniforms"
"Yup, we hated school and it had nothing going for us."
"Hmmm, well."
"So do you have you written any songs?"
"Yeah, hold on it's in my bag, I'll go grab it."
"M'kay."

"Ok, here it is."

This is what the paper said.

Lyin' here,
Awake as day
Prayin' that it's all okay,

My best friend and I
Got in a fight
It's all my fault
I wanna make things right

Scattered pictures on my bedroom floor
Things aren't right
Anymore
What can I do
To make things okay
It's hard to say


(Why?) Why am I so stupid?
(How?) How am I Such and ass hole?
Been depressed all day
How can I take this?

He hung up on me,
I stood defenseless
Growing up's
So complicated

Scattered pictures on my bedroom floor
Things aren't right
Anymore
What can I do?
To make things okay
It's very hard to say

I cannot sleep
How mad can he be?
All day I've prayed
He can forgive and forget
I am sure that I would
In his placement

Scattered pictures on my bedroom floor
Things aren't right
Anymore
What can I do
To make things okay
It's hard to say


"This is good, but what is it about?"
"My friend, from Ohio, got really mad at me and so I started yelling at him. He started running towards the Olentangy River Bridge as I was chasing him. He yelled at me one last time and jumped off the side. I sat there and watched him die." As I was explaining I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. Aaron was my best friend. He was always there for me until the day we got in a fight. He was trying to tell me that Sam was cheating on me but I refused to believe it.

*Flash Back*
"Rebyl, Sam is cheating on you."
"What? No he isn't!"
"Rebyl, I know it hurts but it's true! I caught him in a movie theater making out with another girl."
"STOP LYING TO ME AARON!"
"I'M NOT LYING!"
"I AM NOT LYING TO YOU! WOULD I EVER LIE TO YOU"
"PROBABLY!" During all of this time we were running towards the Olentangy Bay Bridge.
"DO YOU WANT TO SEE HOW SERIOUS I AM?"
"YES, I DO!"
"Good Bye Rebyl, and don't say I didn't warn you." Then he dived head first into the bay.

It was only 2 days later that I caught Sam cheating on me.
*Flashback over*

"Oh..." Josh said once I was done with my story, with a look of sympathy on his face. "I didn't know."

"Meh, it was hard at first be I slowly got over it." I left out the worst part, but I couldn't bring myself to talk about it, but I know I have too tell someone, before I explode.
"Hey we have to go, mom's honking the horn outside. We'll see you later." John gave me a hug, then Josh came and laid a big smooch on my forehead with a hug and they walked out the door. Why does Josh remind me of my dad? Oh well. I walked over the where Trè was and decided I needed some cheering up Trè style.
"Hey Trè."
"Hey Rebyl, glad to see you're feeling better."
"Yeah, physically."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."
"Rebyl, please tell me, or your dad, or someone, I don't like when people are sad."
"I know... I need to go do something."
"LLAMA!" Trè yelled at my retreating back.
"O... k Trè." I yelled back. Mostly everyone was gone now except the Green Day guys, my mom, and brothers. I was up in my room wanting to get out of the way of everyone and get some time alone. I was depressed randomly after the talk I had with the twins. I just can't stop thinking about home. My Galloway, OH home. I miss everyone there so much. I picked up the cordless phone next to my side table and called the operator.
"Hello, operator speaking."
"Hi, I would like to get a hold of a person with the last name of Epae."
"Yes, and where does Mr. or Mrs. Epae live?"
"Ohio."
"Ok, please hold while I get you connected." Music started as I waited patiently.
"Hello?"
"Monica?"
"Who is this?"
"This is Rebyl."
"Oh Hi! What happened? I saw the news and I have to ask, are you really-"
"Joining Green Day? Yes I am."
"No! Dating Frankito Wright! He is so hot!"
"Uh, yeah I am."
"That's awesome that you're joining Green Day."
"Yup, so is your sister around?"
"Uh yeah, here, I'll put you on speaker phone."

"REBYL!"
"KRISS!"
"AHHHH! So you are really joining Green Day?"
"Yeah, so what's up? I haven't talked to you since you left. I know you've been in the hospital a million times already... some things never change." I couldn't help but laugh at that. When I lived in Ohio I slipped into 4 comas and was in the hospital non-stop."
"Do laugh at me! I couldn't help getting hit by a car, getting hit in the head with a hockey stick, jumping out of a window, or getting hit in the head by a guitar, that last one was your fault!"
"Hey you pissed me off and I warned you that I would do it!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"So, when are you going to see me?"
"I don't know, when we start touring I guess."

Right then I heard a knock on my door. "Rebyl, dinner's ready."
"OK DAD!"
"How lucky are you... your dad is Billie Joe Armstrong!"
"Yeah... I'm telling you, my brothers are the cutest things ever!"
"Really! Do I ever get to meet them?"
"Sure, I'll be happy to send Joey to you in a box next time I catch him snooping around my room."
"Ok then."
"Well, I gotta go, dinner's ready."
"ok then, promise to send pictures and stuff!"
"What is your address? You know I don't pay attention to these things."
"304 Galloway Rd. "
"Oh yeah ok, I'll send pics later"
"Ok thanks."
"Bye."
"See ya!"
"BYE REBYL!" Monica yelled in the background.

As I was downstairs I couldn't help but feel depressed for some random reason.
"Rebyl, what's wrong?" My mom asked me as I sat there, poking my hot dog with my fork with a glum look on my face.
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" My dad asked.
"I AM FUCKING OKAY WILL YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, dammit!"
I heard my dad mutter, "PMS."
"URGH!" I yelled and ran up to my room and shut the door. I can't be PMSing because I just got off 2 days ago. I hoped into the shower and let the warm water drench me as I just stood there. As I finally started washing my hair, everything went black and a flashback started rolling like a movie.

*Flash Back*
"AARON PLEASE DON'T! I LOVE YOU TO MUCH TO LET YOU DO THAT! YOU ARE LIKE A BROTHER TO ME!" I yelled at one of my best friends, as he stood there with a gun in his hand, finger on the trigger, standing on the edge of the bridge, cars passing without a second thought to the girl standing, crying next to a boy with a gun in his hand.

"I LOVED YOU MORE THAN JUST A SISTER, BUT YOU DIDN'T CARE BECAUSE YOU HAVE SAM, WHO CARES ABOUT DUMBASS AARON, YOU HAVE SAM!"
"Please, I'm sorry, we can get through this if you just-" BANG! And Aaron was gone. I ran to the edge of the bridge, looking at Aaron's body, floating away with a hole in his head. Aaron James Manson was gone. The guy we all called Jimmy, the bassist in our band, was gone, and he is never coming back. I thought about jumping in after him. Hugging him and telling him that it is all okay, but right as I was about to, I collapsed and passed out.




Slowly my dream started to fade away and I could feel someone else in the shower with me, and my eyes stinging from the soap in them. My head hurt really bad and as I reached my hand back I felt blood. I opened my eyes but it was very blurry but I could feel my dad's chest and arms and could somewhat see his blurred tattoos.

"Ouch, my eyes."

"Am I that ugly?" my dad said jokingly. It hurt to bad to laugh.

"No, shampoo, in eyes."

"Oh, here, can you stand up?" I tried to stand but I just fell back into my dad's arms. My vision was still blurry. "Dad, I can't see anything."

"Okay, hold on, just lay right there. I lay right there with the warm water falling on my body.

"Okay, I'm stripping down, I would have your mother do this but she is spending the night at Claudia's. We got in a fight earlier tonight. I'm gonna help you finish your shower."

"Ok." I didn't even find it awkward because he is my dad and I was in too much pain to care. He washed the blood and soap out of my hair and picked me up and lay me on my bed. He told me to roll over and he put gauze on my head. Then I felt him lay down next to me and I tried to fall asleep but the memories of the flashback kept coming into my mind. My bed wasn't very big so my dad asked me if he wanted me to come into his bedroom to sleep. I know my dad won't let me be alone after that. I tried to stand up again but fell back on the bed. He picked me up and carried me into his room. I realized that neither of us had bothered to get dressed but neither cared. He lay down on his bed and I lay down next to him and started to cry remembering certain times I had with Aaron. It was so obvious that he liked me, why hadn't I realized it before?

"Shh, shh it's okay, I'm here, you're fine," my dad cooed. I realized he was treating me like a little kid but I didn't care. It made me feel loved. He pulled me close to him and I buried my head in his chest and cried until I fell asleep.
"BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG HOW DARE YOU!" that is what I woke up to at around 4:30 in the morning.
"What the fuck did I do? And be quiet, you're going to wake her up!" I heard my dad yell/whisper.
"I DON'T CARE IF I WAKE UP THAT LITTLE SLUT! WHY WOULD YOU CHEAT ON ME BILLIE?"
"Babe, this isn't-"
"DON'T BABE ME! I'M FILING A DIVORCE! GOOD-BYE BILLIE!" I heard my mom storm down the stairs. I made to get up and run after her but fell over, again. My dad stood up and ran out of the room, still butt naked.

*Billie Joe's POV*
"Adrienne! That girl was Rebyl!" I yelled to my wife retreating back.
"Yeah, uh-huh, and Trè is Paris Hilton," she said sarcastically. "Billie, I'm going some where and I am not telling you where. I will send the divorce papers by mail." With that she walked out the door.
