Sending postcards from a plane crash, chapter 1
"Get out," said Adie.
"Wha-"
"I said. Get Out." She pushed Billie outside and threw his suitcase at him.
"Jeez Adie. I told you. Nothing happened between me and Claudia! I was drunk and ended up in the bathtub. I don't know what the hell happened!" Billie banged on the door.
"Please. Let me in," he pleaded.
"Over my dead body!" She yelled back. Then he saw the lights go off. Billie got into his car and drove to Mike's. He knocked on the door.
"Billie?" Said a very tired looking Mike.
Billie sighed.
"Sorry to wake you up. Adie threw me out, she thinks I went with Claudia last night." Billie put his suitcase down.
"C'min dude. You can stay here. We'll work it out tomorrow." Mike took Billie's suitcase upstairs. Billie followed.
"Thanks Mike."
"No problem."
Then they all went back to sleep. Apart from Billie.
"I can't stay here like this. Adie won't change her mind. Not now. It did actually look like I had it off with Claudia," Billie whispered to himself.
He sighed.
"Tomorrow's another day." He turned his light off and and went to sleep.
*Next day*
"Billie?" Mike shook him.
"Bill? C'mon dude wake up."
"Wha's going on?" Asked a tired looking Billie.
"I brought you some breakfast."
"Thanks Mike. I'll eat it downstairs though." Billie climbed out of bed and went downstairs.
"So. What happened yesterday?" Asked Mike taking a sip of his coffee.
"Well. I ended up in Claudia's bathtub. I woke up wondering where the hell I was. Then I heard someone knocking on the front door downstairs. So I opened the bahroom door slightly and peered downstairs. I saw Adie at the front door and I saw the back of Claudia's head. I heard Adie say:
"Have you seen Billie?"
"No why?"
"Well he went out with Tre and Mike last night and he didn't come home. I've been over to Mike's and Tre's and he's not there."
"Sorry Adie, he's not here."
"Ok. Can I use your bathroom?"
"Sure."
And at that part I was like, Shit where am I gonna hide. So I ran out of the bathroom and into Claudia's bedroom and onto the bed. But Adie heard me and then saw me. And she went hysterical."
Mike sighed.
"Well you should try calling her," said Mike.
"Yeah. I'll try but you know what she's like."
Billie picked up the phone and dialed the number. It rang and rang and rang.
"Answer the fucking phone," yelled Billie.
No answer.
"Maybe she's not there," said Mike.
Billie sighed.
"I'm going over there. I'll be back in a minute." Billie got his coat and walked out of the door. He got into the car and drove back home.
Billie knocked on the door. No answer.
"Oh. Dammit. I have a key." He took the key out of his pocket and opened the door. He saw lights on upstairs.
He walked upstairs quietly. She was in the bedroom.
"I love you Johnny," said Adie. There was a guy in there.
Billie frowned.
"You little fucking bitch," Billie whispered just loud enough for them to hear. Billie forced the door open. She was with another guy. Billie had no idea who the guy was.
"Adie! How could you!?" Billie swallowed hard.
"Billie you cheated on me!" Yelled Adie.
"NO I FUCKING DIDN'T!" He yelled. Billie turned around and walked out of the door. He started to cry. He got into his car and drove away. To Tre's house.
"Hey Bill! Whats u-"
"You're crying. Billie. What happened?" Asked Tre. He brought Billie inside.
"Okay Tre. If Adie says anything to you. Don't believe her," said Billie.
"What do you mean Bill?"
"Remember. I got pissed. I ended up in Claudia's house but we didn't do anything. She didn't even know I was there. I ended up in the bathtub. I promise we didn't do anthing Tre," cried Billie.
"It's okay Billie I believe you." Tre put his arm around Billie.
"Anyway. Adie didn't believe me and she threw me out last night so I stayed at Mike's. I went back home about 20 minutes ago to find Adie with some other guy." Billie rested his head in his hands.
Tre sighed.
"I'm sorry Bill," said Tre.
"Tre. I can't stay here. Not now. I have to go. I'm sorry. Tell Mike that I left." Billie stood up.
"What? Are you crazy? What about the band? What about us?" Tre yelled.
"I can't Tre. It's too hard. Too much pressure, I can't handle it. Please Tre. Let me go. I love you and Mike to death! But I have to go Tre." Billie cried harder. Tre also started to cry.
"Billie you can't leave. How am I going to tell Mike?" Asked Tre.
Billie swallowed hard.
"Tell him that you did the right thing. Letting me go is what I want. But I will come back. I promise." Billie hugged Tre and walked out of the door. Never to be seen again.
"Wha-"
"I said. Get Out." She pushed Billie outside and threw his suitcase at him.
"Jeez Adie. I told you. Nothing happened between me and Claudia! I was drunk and ended up in the bathtub. I don't know what the hell happened!" Billie banged on the door.
