Baby Joe Armstrong

Maybe You Should Stay For A While

Billie P.O.V

Flashback...

I was walking down to the park with Katie Joe on my shoulders, playing with my hair. She was 3 years old and it was just me and her. Katie was used to walking now, so when we reached the park I put her down, so she could play in the sand pit. She sat in the sand and I walked over to a bench not too far away, but only I felt a tug on my trousers and saw Katie. I got down on my knees. "Baby Girl, don't be scared. I will be right here, so go play for a while. Daddy's not leaving you ever." I said as I place her in the sand again. I walked to the bench and showed my hands up to Katie, so she new I wasn't going to leave and then a lady came over. "You are great with kids." she said and my reply was "Married." I waved her off and walked over to Katie. There was another girl there, around 5ish, being mean to my Baby. Katie started crying, so I walked over and picked her up as the other girl walked off. I decided that we should go home and that is what we did. I did everything to make Katie happy, but the only thing that worked was to sing. She fell asleep, so when we got home I put her to bed. She was so much like me, she could sleep through everything and anything.

That night there was a storm. I heard crying and new who it was. I walked into Katie's room to see her sat up rubbing her eyes, but still crying. "Hey Baby Girl, don't cry. Daddy's here." I said. I picked her up and brought her to my room. Adrienne woke up and saw Katie next to her. I held Katie on my chest, so she could sleep better. I guess I was wrong, Katie cant sleep through a storm. Adrienne was humming a tune and the only sound we could here was the rough wind, Adrienne humming and a soft snoring coming from Katie. I love my Baby girl so much, I would hate for her to get hurt.

End of flashback.

 I saw darkness, the only thing I could here was a beeping... I was in hospital. I slowly opened my eyes to a big white room, probably fit for two. WAIT! two... KATIE. I shot up, but to be pushed down again by White. "What are you thinking? you just got shot... well, 2 weeks ago." White said. "What? TWO WEEKS, Where the hell is Katie? she needs me." I said. "Dude, she is fine. She woke up about 4 hours ago, but fell asleep just now." Tre said. Adrienne walked in with the boys, Jake and Joey went to the other bed. "Billie, your OK." Adie said. "Yeah, Katie?" I asked pointing to the other bed. White, Tre and Adie nodded. "Thank God she is OK." I said. "Does he know?" Mike asked walking in the room with Brittney. "Which part, he doesn't know any of it." Tre said. "Wait. Know what? What do I need to know?" I asked. "Well, first... Steve and Carol have been arrested for kidnapping and... I can't someone else please." Mike said. "While we... When you... As you got here K-Katie lost a lot off blood... and she died. The doctor and nurses did all they could and we only just got her back." Adie said in tears. "She also broke her leg, so it will be Christmas with a cast for her." Tre finished. "NO. no. I don't believe you, don't lie to me Adie, she's fine. Look she there asleep. NOT dead, sleeping." I said breaking down. "Billie, she is alive. Me and Tre have never left the room." Mike said. I nodded and tilted my head back, but then we heard a scream.

Katie P.O.V

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed. "MUMMY!" Mum came over and held me close. "Shh Baby Girl, it was a nightmare." Mum said. I started to cry and then I saw Dad. "Daddy?" I asked. he nodded. I saw he was in tears. Joey was sat next to me in the bed. "Here, Max got you a get well soon present." He said. I took it and opened it... a new IPod. "Nice, it's red." I said with a smile. "Yeah, it's got all your favorite artists on it like My Chemical Romance, Leathermouth etc OH and Green Day." Joey said smiling. I gave him a hug and for the rest of the day me and Joey listened to music as Dad was talking to Mum and Tre was doing stupid stuff with Jake, White and Mike sitting there awkwardly. Brittney left a while ago. I like this.... Families are Awesome.

*4 Days Later*

The past few days have been the same, Mum, Jake and Joey coming in and out and Mike, Tre and Jason staying the night. Yesterday a nurse said Me and Dad were OK to go home today. Dad was fine, showing off that he could walk, but he was fine... for now (Evil Grin) I was sat on the bed as Dad brought over my crutches. "You ready?" Mum's waiting. Dad asked. I nodded and slowly got up. As we were walking I saw a girl with, I think her Mum, she was about my age. She was crying. 'Poor girl... Estelle' I thought as I saw Estelle running up to me with Ramona. "Oh My God, are you OK, Katie?" Estelle asked. "Yep." I said popping the P. Ramona smiled as we slowly walked (because of me, we were that slow) out of the hospital.

When we got home and I went straight to the sofa and cried. Joey came and hugged me. "Hey, the worst that could happen is your leg gets itchy." He said. I still cried... it was itchy. I could tell Dad was hating this. Dad literally slammed his hand down on the counter, which caused all of us to stare. "How could they do this, I nearly lost you again. I am amazing at promises." Dad said sarcastically threw gritted teeth. "Yeah, I know you are." I said. "OI Katie!" Mum shouted telling me off. "But he is... Dad you said you would come get me from England and you did, also you knew I would hate to leave my friends and you promised me they would call and they did. Not everything can be good, but to tell the truth I'm happy I broke my leg, because it means I can spend more time with the family I wish I grew up with. If you cant see that then we need to spend more time as a family." I said standing up. Dad stared at me and came over and gave me a hug. "I don't suppose you have seen Rock of Ages, have you?" Dad asked stepping back from the hug. "Are you kidding? I know the whole scripted and songs." I said. Dad smiled and then we all got together on the sofa's and watched Rock Of Ages, with me and Dad singing all the songs and everyone else rocking on the sofa's. I love this life.
