I'll Stand By And Watch You Drown, chapter 8
~*~*3 Weeks Later~*~*
It was 3 weeks farther into the summer, and for Billie Joe, things were going to go even further downhill.
Ollie had a new boyfriend, and his name was Tim. He really hated Billie Joe and all of his friends, which included Veronica. He was usually taking all of his anger out on Billie Joe by yelling and swearing at him.
Al had begun talking about going off to college and leaving the band, leaving Sweet Children, behind him. This really made Billie mad, because he hated school so much that he was considering dropping out, which would probably never get by his mom. He could since you don't need a diploma to become a famous band.
Tre was still living at Billie's house. Turns out that Tre's parents (not true in real life, I know) were getting a divorce. This mad Tre moody and he was begining to annoy Billie Joe, as much as he hated to admit it.
To try and take off some pain, Billie Joe was spending almost all of his time at Gilmore Street. Sadly, he was getting more and more into drugs. His band was the only thing that was keeping him from going insane. His band and Veronica.
Billie Joe and Veronica were really going out now. They'd go to the movies most of the time. Sometimes they would hang out on Gilmore Street. Veronica had the fear of all of the stuff that's been going on going to Billie Joe's head and making him snap like Eric. Or Bob, Fred, Zach, Paul, or Kevin.
Now that you're all caught up on what has happened in the short space of 3 weeks, I give you PART 8....
(By the way, I'm dropping the POV thing unless enough people want it back!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The phone rang, causing Billie Joe, Veronica, and Tre to look away from the TV. Billie Joe answered it since his mom was out with Tim.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey, Billie. Is Frank there?" It was Mr. Wright. He sounded scared and worried.
"Yeah."
"May I please speak to him? It's urgent."
"Sure."
He signalled Tre to come over to the phone. Tre rolled his eyes and got up, not wanting to leave his spot on the couch. "It's your dad," Billie said to him, before going to sit by Veronica.
"Hey, dad.... What?.... Are you serious?.... Oh my, God.....Yeah.... I'll be fine.... I'm sure.... Bye."
Tre's voice had been craking.
"What's up?" Billie asked him.
Tre looked at Billie Joe with his tear brimmed eyes and slowly walked to Billie's room, his head hung low. Billie began to get of the couch, but Tre called back to him," DON'T FOLLOW ME! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
That made Billie sit down fast.
He sighed and turned his attention back to the TV.
~*~*Meanwhile in Billie's room~*~*
Tre leaned against the door and slid down to the floor. He put his head in his hands and began to quietly cry. This was just to much.
He crawled over to his bag and pulled out his pocket knife. His mom gave it to him, and said," Use it when you need to. Not to show off." His mom. That's the reason he was going to do this.
He put it against his skin and pressed down hard. Blood began to pour out. He slowly slid it across his skin and out came more. The sight made him sick and he almost threw up.
He continued cutting himself for a few more minutes, untill he leaned against the bed and started crying again. He didn't want to live anymore. Not if this was to be his life.
~*~*Back to the living room~*~*
The TV was turned off and Veronica and Billie were discussing what could have possibly happend with Tre and the phone call.
"I don't know what happened, Veronica," Billie Joe said glumly.
"You think we should go find out?" she asked.
Billie Joe shook his head and said,"No. He'll tell us when he's ready. I just hope he hasn't done anything stupid."
