The Day Billie Joe Armstrong Died

Chapter 32 - Pull The Plug

Hi guys! A fast update for once :D But a sad update, please don't kill me D: The story isn't quit over yet though C; 

‘’Get in and pack all your stuff! We’re leaving and going home to our place, I bet Mike, Trè, Joey and Jake are waiting!’’ Billie Joe smiled, ‘’they knew about this?’’ I grinned back. Billie Joe nodded excitedly. Billie ran into the house with Adie and Billie Joe in his heels. ‘’Are you coming, Alex?’’ Adie yelled after me, as she was about to get into the house. ‘’Yeah! I’m just gonna text Austin!’’ I yelled in return, she nodded and walked inside. I picked out my phone and started to write. ‘’Billie Joe and Adie adopted me! I’m serious! I’ll be staying with them! Ah, I knew everything would be all right in the end. You have to visit us as soon as you can!’’ I wrote and texted it to Austin. I smiled to myself as I slipped my phone back into my pocket. That’s when I noticed a black Hummer slowly driving only a few meters away from me. It was driving mysteriously slow for my taste. I looked curiously at it, and suddenly one of the windows rolled down and out came a hand, which was holding a gun directly pointed at me. This time there was no hesitation, it shot instantly.

It all got blurry around me, I didn’t even hear the sound coming from the gun.

What I did hear was faint voices yell my name, several voices. The car drove off as soon as I had dropped to the ground. ‘’CALL 911!’’ I heard a voice yell, it sounded like Amy. I opened my eyes and saw several people leaning over me. They all looked so blurry, it felt like a dream. I slowly reached my hand over my chest where the bullet had hit. Something wet and sticky touched my hand, there was no question what it was.

The pain I felt was undescribable. It felt like I had a hole in my chest, which was growing bigger and bigger for every second. I felt the urge to close my eyes and sleep, but I also knew if I did that I wasn’t going to wake up again.. But I wasn’t going to make it. I knew from the second the car had stopped ahead of me, that I wasn’t going to make it home to Billie Joe and Adie.

‘’Hold on, Alex! Hold on!’’ Billie Joe shouted at me as he held my hand in a tight grip.  

I slowly lost the feeling in my whole body, the pain from my chest was gone… and I fainted.

When I woke up I was still lying on the ground. However, I could see properly now. I looked up, there where still many people staring down at me. Billie Joe, Adie, Billie, Amy, John, Mike, Dave, Gloria and John. I smiled up at them, ‘’I feel okay, it’s okay’’ I smiled to them, trying to calm them down. It wasn’t helping, they where all crying and holding around each other. I looked curiously at them. Maybe they would calm e down if I got up, I thought to myself. I hoisted myself up from the ground and looked oddly at them. They didn’t react. ‘’Guys?’’ I mumbled. I started to feel scared. I slowly tilted my head downwards to what was lying down at my feet… it was me. ‘’AAAH COME ON!?!?!?’’ I shouted at the top of my lungs. I can’t die now! Everything was going to be okay now!

I promise you, there is nothing more creepy than looking down at your own dead body. But what is worse, is looking at all the people crying around it.  I’ve never felt so shattered my whole life. Watching Billie Joe crying his guts out while he’s holding my hand, Adie holding my brother tightly as they both cry, and all my friends stand over me crying and shouting at me, begging me to wake up. I felt my tears slowly starting to flow down my chin. Seeing them all in agony was heart-breaking.

I was positive that Billie Joe knew I was dead in that moment, he didn’t held around my hand for no reason. He was looking for a pulse, but he couldn’t find one.

Finally we could hear the sound of an ambulance. They all looked up as four men came rushing out of the vehicle with a white bed. They got me on it, and got me into the van quickly. Billie Joe was the only one who was allowed to come with them in their car. Adie drove the others. I ran into the ambulance car as fast as I could, I wasn’t going to miss a second of this.
