The Day Billie Joe Armstrong Died

Chapter 17 - Balls of Steel

Hi, I was planning on ending the story after the 20th chapter... but, I have made a crazy idea so the story will be longer :) Hope that's okay for you guys :) 

You could imagine the growing sensation of fear running through my body. I was so sure we where all alone. I felt the hand gabbing my shoulder tighter, I felt sick.

In that moment something happened to my body, which I couldn’t control. I turned around and kicked him as hard as I possibly could in the balls. Even though I only could see the outlining of the guy, I was pretty sure I hit right. He fell down in pain and let out a little growl. I was wearing Doc Martens as well, so that must have hurt.

‘’Wimp’’ I mumbled as I hurried back to Adie, I untied her and we ran for the door. It was still dark, but I remembered the way.

We ran through the hallways, down the white marble stairs and towards the big silver door. I gave it a little push and we where out.

However, we didn’t stop. We wanted to get out of the hospital area.

We didn’t stop until we got down on a road far enough away from the hospital. We got down on the pavement and breathed heavily. I sighted and gazed around, Adie had cached her breath and looked up on the sky. ‘’I never thought I’d see the sky again’’ she hummed. I looked at her, she turned to me and gave me a huge hug. ‘’What you did took courage, thank you so much Alex. I owe you my life, and if I ever can repay you, I will’’ she let me go and smiled at me. ‘’ It’s okay!’’ I smiled. ‘’I just can’t believe people where still doing this lobotomy things to people.. it’s sick’’ I continued, she nodded in agreement.  She opened her mouth, but was cut off by a voice calling my name. ‘’Alex!’’ I turned my head and saw to my surprise Amy, Dave, Gloria, John and Mike coming jogging towards us. I turned to Adie again and sighted, ‘’fuck’’ I said under my breath. ‘’Hi! How’s your brother doing?’’ Mike said when they had approached us. I put up a smile and replied, ‘’fine, fine just fine... They said he’ll be recovering very soon!’’ They looked at each other and nodded, ‘’well, then they’re magicians. ‘Cause we just saw your brother with another guy playing football in the park’’  Amy pointed out while gazing at the sun. My eyes squinted, fuck. Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat… Yes, I sing Blink 182 songs in my head when I’m stressed. I acted surprised, ‘’wow, well… he wasn’t that much hit by the car… he’’ John cut me off, ‘’was he hit at all Alex? We followed you, we where worried. We watched you as you talked to yourself while walking in through the back door…’’ I looked at Adie who sat paralyzed behind me; ‘’no’’ she spoke with her eyes. I returned to them, they looked agitated. I breathed out heavily and got up. ‘’Well, sorry guys but we have to go’’ Adie also got up and we started to walk. Dave placed his hand on my shoulder, he turned me around and looked seriously into my eyes. ‘’Alex, we are worried about you. What is going on?’’ They all stood behind him looking more irritated than worried. I looked down and repeated myself, ‘’there’s nothing wrong, please. We have to go now’’ I almost mumbled. I didn’t look at them. I was too ashamed. The guys didn’t really acknowledged Adie, I guess they knew her. Since Adie had talked about them before. I heard Dave sighted heavily, ‘’fine, be that way’’ He let me go and they all left without offering me a look.

I looked up and wiped away a tear. I bit my lip and tried not to burst into a wild cry. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the important things. I had to help Adie. I felt a hand on my shoulder for the third time today. ‘’They’ll come back; they’re not mad but worried. Well fix it, hun’’ Adie whispered into my ear. I turned around and nodded. She held her arm around me, ‘’what shall we do now?’’ she said a bit more happily. ‘’You can’t go back home, you’ll stay with me. You can stay in my room!’’ I said while staring at my feet as we walked. ‘’Great! … What if you parents see me..?’’ she sounded uncomfortable with the thought of staying in my parents house. ‘’They won’t, they never go down to my room. I promise, you’ll be save.’’ I assured her, I lifted my head and smiled at her. ‘’Time to go then!’’ She smiled.
