As My Memory Rests

Chapter 14

BILLIE'S POV
I walked over to Cassie and the guys, still pissed about the argument but I brushed it off for them. "You okay Billie?" Mike asked, looking at me curiously. He could always tell when something was up, we've been best friends for so long. I grinned and nodded and we walked over to the limo that would take us to our venue.

The song, Cancer, by My Chemical Romance came on the radio as we were driving and Tré turned to Cassy. "Hey Tiny, you haven't had a chance to sing recently and since you're signed with us...SING!"

Cassy looked at me pleadingly but I just put my hands up, "He's right, we need to make sure we're signing someone good." She sighed and started singing, 

Turn away
If you could get me a drink of water
'Cause my lips are chapped and faded

Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still

I will not kiss you
’Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you

Now turn away
’Cause I'm awful just to see
’Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body

Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go

It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say
Goodbye today
I'd ask you to be true

'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you

After she finished, we all sat there shocked.

Of course, Tré broke our silence, "TINY THAT WAS SO GOOD! WE PICKED A GOOD ONE!"

She blushed and I said, "Well of course she's good, she's my daughter!"

We laughed and Mike said, "But really squirt, you should sing background for Green Day during tour. It'd be good practice and we could always use the extra sound."

She shrugged and I continued, "You should! C'mon don't you want to sing with your Dad?"

She laughed and said, "I guess I could try it out at one of your rehearsals.

We all cheered and Tré said, "YAY TINY! You're gonna be close to my drums so I can give you moral support." She smiled and our limo pulled up to our venue. We all ran out and prepared for our concert and any thought of Katherine slipped my mind.

KATHERINE'S POV

I threw my phone into my pocket, furious with Billie. I should be the one that's upset, he's not taking proper care of my only daughter. I grabbed my keys and walked out to my car, jamming in the keys and pulling out of the driveway. I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in my heart when he said he hated me. He's never said anything like that to me before, and it hurt. My hands were shaking with anger and sadness and I couldn't help but let a couple tears fall. I missed my best friend so much but every since we found each other, mostly all we've done is fight.

But we also kissed, and I could still feel it on my lips. I've always loved him but I could never destroy his relationship with Adrienne. It was getting harder and harder for me to see as my vision blurred with tears and the dark, stormy night didn't make anything easier.

Suddenly, I saw two lights flash in front of me and I reacted too late as I was slammed into from the side from the other car. I felt the force crush into my ribs and my head slammed forward into the wheel, creating a giant gash on my forehead. Blood starting streaming down and I could feel it sticking all around my face. My hand shakily moved to my left side and I felt my rib stick out through my skin, getting warm blood on my hand. I tried to yell for help but my voice came out strangled.

My phone had been crushed from the impact and I felt my vision tunnel. I closed my eyes and watched as flashbacks played on my eyelids. Meeting Billie freshman year of high school, my hair streaked with purple and his all blue, hanging out with him at his mom's work, him teaching me guitar, our first kiss together, going to senior ball, watching him practice with Mike and Tré, finding out about my baby, Billie leaving me to go on his first tour, watching Cassy take her first steps, kissing Billie in my apartment, and hugging Cassy goodbye as she left for tour. I smiled at the memories and I felt my brain go fuzzy and unfocused. Blood was flowing out and I knew I didn't have much longer. My heart started beating slower and slower and all my worries starting drifting away. I hope Billie and Cassy would be okay without me.

"Billie, please take care of my baby for me. I'll love you forever and always." I whispered, taking one last look at the rain slowly drizzling down my window. I heard distant sirens but I knew they were too late. I closed my eyes once more and let myself drift into the never ending black...
