My new life... [Green Day fanfic.]

Chapter 5

"Awe, isn't that sweet?" I could hear Mike say. "Oh God, Billie, look at her poor arms..." he said, as I opened my eyes.

"Morning guys," I mumbled, but they just kept looking at my scarred arms.

"Who did that to you?" Billie said, not taking his eyes off my arms.

"Her mum. Guys, do we have to talk about this now?" Tre asked. They shook their heads and went away. I got changed and went down to the big hall, waiting for the others.

As I checked my phone, it showed 7 a.m. Billie, Mike, and Tre came down.

"What now?" I asked.

"Breakfast!" Mike replied, smiling. My phone started to vibrate. It was Tory.

"I gotta take this call. I'll be there in a minute."

L: Hello?

T: Should I wait for you?

L: Nope. I'm not coming back to school.

T: What?!

L: Yeah, I'm not coming back. I'm going with Green Day on tour.

T: Liz, that's crazy! And what's your Mum saying?!

L: My Mum doesn't care about me - she never did. I woke up yesterday on the floor, 'cause she knocked me out. I packed my things and found a paper, which said I should move my ass out of her house.

T: What?

L: Tory, since I I arrived at her place, she's beating the shit out of me. I can't take it anymore.

T: But you could move in at my house! I'm gonna get my own flat soon!

L: Sorry Liz, but I've gotta take this chance to get outta here. I'll call you when I'm in London.

*TRE'S POV*

Liz was really funny to joke with, but her story was terrible. A great person like her doesn't deserve this! I mean, yeah, I've known her since yesterday, but I started getting normal around her - caring about her...

"Hey Tre, what did you two do yesterday?" Mike asked sarcastically.

"That's not funny, Mike. She got up at the middle of the night and locked herself crying in the bathroom. That whore who adopted her beat the fuck out of her. She kicked her out," I answered.

"Hey, guys," she said, sitting down with a cup of coffee.

"Oh c'mon. What are you? Lassie? Get something to eat! You look really starved," Billie said. She looked really thin and a bit scared now. She got herself a piece of bread with butter.

"Someone bring my pet dog goodies?!" I shouted. The people were giving us stupid looks, but Liz and I were laughing really hard, so we didn't care.

*BILLIE'S POV*

Tre was being all 'Tre' again. I couldn't believe what he told us. Liz was so sweet and had such a great voice. I noticed my phone ringing.  It was Adrienne, the most beautiful woman on earth. I went out of the room, to answer it.

B: Hey, 80. I've missed you.

A: Missed you too. And the boys also miss you.

B: What time is it?

A: Something like 2 a.m... but I wanted to talk to you.

B: Awe, you really love me.

A: Stop joking around, sweetie. How's the tour going?

B: Great. We're now in Vienna. We picked up a girl named Liz.

A: What? How old?

B: Young. 15, 16, something around that.

A: Why? What about her parents?

B: Tre found her at the beach. They talked and he asked her to come with us for the day. Her mum kicked her out yesterday. She's got nowhere to go. Her mum also beat her. So we wanted to help her out.

A: So what are you gonna do now?

B: We're taking her for the rest of the tour.

A: Really?

B: Yeah. Her mum beat her really badly. She has scars and bruises, and a recent bruise on her face from when her mum punched her.

A: Oh god, that's awful! Poor thing!

B: I know. Adie, I gotta go now. I'll call you soon, ok? Love you and the boys!

A: Love you too. Be careful and keep an eye on Liz, okay?

B: Okay.

As I came back, Liz had butter in her hair and Tre had nutella smeared all over his face. Mike was standing ashamed at the table with the bread on it.

"What did I miss?" I asked, walking over to him.

"Tre was being all Tre. Liz got her bread greased all over her hair, she wanted to give it back to him and slapped Tre's bread right into his face."

"Too bad that I missed that..."

*Liz's POV*

At eight we were at the airport. The guys had to give some autographs. I was standing near them, one of them was always keeping an eye on me. After the paparazzi and fans, we wanted to go to our plane, when suddenly Tory came running towards us.

"Liz! Liz wait, goddammit!" she screamed.

"Who's that?" Billie asked.

"My only friend, Tory."

"Liz. You can't leave right now! What about school? What about your future? You told me, you wanna do drawing and all that shit! You can't leave right now!"

"Tory, I have to. I can't stay here, I can't go back home. I know that after the summer, I'll have to come back, but I can't stay here anymore. Let me have a few happy days in my life."

"But, but what about friends? What about me? What about the smoking and doing other shit together?!"

"You're my only friend, Tor. I promise you, I'll call ya, but I have to get outta here. Look, my Mum used to beat me! I'm so happy to be getting out of here. Please be happy for me. I'll call you. I promise," I said, and hugged her. She didn't wanna let go, but had to.

"I know I shouldn't talk to stars like this, but be fucking careful about my friend!" she said to the guys, and walked as far as she could before we had to go on the plane. I waved goodbye, and I swear I saw her crying.

On the plane I sat with Mike.

"Smoking? How old are you?"

"Fifteen, but I don't really care," I sad with a grin. As it were only a few minutes to lift-off. I got somehow more and more panicked. I never flew before.
