'We Live On Front Porches And Swing Life Away...', chapter 3
I'm eating my jell-o when Tre finally wakes up.
"Good morning med junkie," I said looking over at him.
"Likewise."
"I'm already awake."
"And?" Silence.
"Exactly," he said as I stopped eating to rethink about Franky. His spiky bright blue hair, skateboard, Nesser skateboard mind you, and a guitar pick necklace. Ugh he was so hot.
"Stop thinking dirty thoughts about my son. You're too good for him."
"I don't like him," I lied.
"'May one ask why young knight is most upset with your father's decision to therefore stay in deep slumber because of father's meds?' I heard everything. I was just pretending to see if you guys really liked each other, which I was right about."
"I was just following suit! I don't like him."
"Good bye young knight!" he said in a girly voice.
"I was just being nice to him and I think he was nice to me, too."
"Oh so having a whole Romeo and Juliet moment is being nice? Trust me girly, he likes you and you like him."
"Fine I like him is that what you wanna hear?"
"No, I wanna hear you say it, just that. Just say 'I like Franky.'"
"I don't like him, I LOVE HIM!!" I practically screamed. Just then Franky popped up from the side of Tre's bed.
"I'm speechless," he said, then we heard foot steps, Franky went down to hid and Tre pretended to sleep.
"Miss Green?" The nurse said from the doorway.
"Yes?" I looked at the nurse.
"Time to check out your stitches," she came up to the bedside where my stitches were. She lifted up the bottom of my gown and lifted up above my stitches to reveal my pink and black underwear. I looked down at the floor and saw blue hair. I rolled my eyes and I stared at the ceiling as the nurse took off the bandages.
"Well these are just great! The stitches don't look to bad, they're healing nicely. That was some nasty fall you took. But you'll only be here for a few more days," she said putting a fresh set of bandages over the stitches. "Okay," She pulled the hospital gown down and grabbed my sprained wrist. "Move your fingers," I wiggled my fingers. She took off the guard thing off. "Well, I think a few more days with the wrist guard, and you'll be fine. You'll leave in 3 days," she said.
"Alright," she left and Franky popped up.
"Nice underwear," he snickered smirking.
"Want to see them again?" I asked in a seductive way.
"Oh yes I would," he said grinning evilly.
"Well TOO BAD!" I said.
"Tease."
"You know you like it." He sat on the edge of my bed, he looked at me.
"Well, since you're leaving in a few days, can I have your phone number?"
"Sure!" I said a little too happily. I grab one of the hospital tablets and wrote down my number and my email. I handed it to him and he put it in his pocket. He looked at Tre who was snoring.
"I'll leave. Bye Piper!"
"Bye Franky!"

I got dressed in my regular clothes in the bathroom on my leaving day. I walked out, grabbed my drumsticks and everything else. I grabbed my cell phone and called my mom.
"Hey mom, come get me. . . . . . . Because I'm coming home today, I'm well enough to go home. . . . . Well then, hey maybe I could stay at a friends if you can get me now. . . . . . Ok, I'll just wait, no ones home from school. . . . Love you too. Bye!" I hung up. Then a guy with shaggy black hair struts to Tre's bed.
"Dude wake up!" he said to Tre.
"What Billie?" Tre said in a scratchy voice.
"Wake up, I want to hang out with you. Mike has Stella this week and Adie's out with the kids so I want to hang out with you."
"Ok... Oh Piper you're going home today? You're leaving me? I'm insulted."
"Yeah, I'm going home but not any time soon. Wait," I looked at Billie and Tre, they looked like the Billie Joe and Tre Cool... .. Oh. My. God, "YOU'RE THE MEMBERS OF GREEN DAY!!"
"Took you that long, to figure that out."
"Yes it did take me that long. I just didn't think I would be rooming with Tre, the real Tre Cool. Wow... Well, talk to Billie. I didn't mean to cut into your hang out time," I said grabbing my drumsticks.
"No its okay," Billie said as he started talking to Tre and they brought him to the padio. I was left alone in my room with my drumsticks.
"Aren't you supposed to leave today?" a familiar voice said. I look at my doorway and see Franky.
"Hi! Uhm, well, my mom couldn't pick me up so I'm waiting for her to get off work," I explained as I stopped drumming on my bed.
"Well, I was gunna call you after I visited my dad, who I have not found yet, I was gunna ask you if you wanted to go out to lunch and then a movie. Would you want to go?" he asked sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Yeah I'd love that!" Then my mom popped into my head, "But I'd have to ask my mom." I dialed my mom.
"Mommy?. . . . I was wondering if I could go out with Franky, my room mates son. . . . Well my room mate is Tre Cool, the drummer of Green Day. . . . . Yes way. . . . . Ok yeah but can I? . . . . . Go out with Franky!?. . . . . . Ok thank you!. . . . .Love you too. Bye!" I looked at him.
"She said I could go so I will go with you!" I said dumbly.
"Alright, I see my dad all the time so missing him wont hurt anything." He said as I grabbed my stuff and walked out with him.
We got into the car and we drove to a place that I thought was my secret place to eat.
"Oh my god," I said as my jaw dropped.
"You don't like this place?"
"This is my secret food place!" I said as I got out hyperlly.
"Oh funny," he go out too. We ate and went to the movie theatre.
"What are we gunna see?" I asked, looking at him.
"A horror film," I was scared shitless!!
"Ok... I'm cool with that." I had a scared look on my face. He chuckled and grabbed my hand gently.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you," He said as we walked into the theatre.
We walked into the room which was a stadium with a big screen in the theatre. We sat down and a few minutes later the movie started. He held my hand when the movie started. Thirty-five minutes into the movie there was a really bloody, gory and jolting moment that made me scream, jump and hide my face in his side.
"I hate horror films!" I said in a scared voice, with my face still buried in his side.
"Its ok, I'm here," he laughed lightly, putting his arm around me and pulled me closer.
The movie ended and I was still scared shitless. We got in his car and he dropped me off at my house. He walked me up to my door.
"I had a really great time. Maybe we could hang out here tomorrow or something?" he asked as we walked up to my front door.
"Well I would hope so, my parents are going out at night. Call me tomorrow and we'll figure it out, alright?" I asked as we got up to my door way.
"Ok," I looked into his eyes, he leaned in and! kissed me on the cheek.
"I might see you tomorrow. Bye Piper!" he said, walking back to his car.
"Bye Franky," I said as he got into his car. I walked into my house, tried to fall asleep but that stupid horror film tainted my dreams. I didn't sleep at all.
"Good morning med junkie," I said looking over at him.
"Likewise."
"I'm already awake."
"And?" Silence.
"Exactly," he said as I stopped eating to rethink about Franky. His spiky bright blue hair, skateboard, Nesser skateboard mind you, and a guitar pick necklace. Ugh he was so hot.
