Revenge of the Fallen - William Lennox {2}

Chapter 2

The police and the firemen were already at the house. The firemen were around the house as I rushed to the kitchen. I spotted the small piece of the All Spark and grabbed a small bottle and a tool to grab the piece before putting it inside the bottle.

I walked outside and stopped as I looked down at the bottle in my hand. "Ronny Lauren Witwicky?" Mom said as she walked towards me. "Yeah?" I asked. "A word with you," She said before standing in front of me. "When you go, he goes. I cannot live with a psychotic alien in my garage!"

Dad rushed over, "Judy . . . National security," He said quietly and I walked away towards the garage. I walked inside to see Bumblebee starting to hit himself in his face. "Yeah, you know you're in trouble," I said, sighing.

"Ronny!" I turned back outside to see William by his motorcycle and he put his helmet on the motorcycle before rushing over to the garage. "Hey, what happened?" He asked.

"Um, small Decepticons?" I said, shrugging. "But other then that, everything is fine." He rolled his eyes at my little joke but smirked. "You okay?" He asked. "Yeah," I replied and looked at Bumblebee.

"Hey, Bee, how you doing?" William asked. Bumblebee made a whirring noises and he sighed, "He still having voice problems?" He asked me. "He's playing it up," I stated and sighed. "Bee, I want to talk to you about the college thing."

"I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!"

Bumblebee played the radio, and started to bounce up and down slightly while clicking his metal fingers along with the music. I shook my head, "Bee, I can't take you with me."

He stopped the music and made an electronic groaning sound as his car doors on his back sank down sadly along with his head. He gave me the puppy dog eyes and I sighed, "Don't give me those eyes," I said.

"I'll let you two talk," William said before walking out and closing the tarp behind him. "I meant to tell you about this earlier. It's just that, you know . . ." I trailed off. "Here's the thing. Freshmen aren't allowed to have cars. I know, and if it was up to me, I'd take you with me, but it's not, Bee. Look. You're an Autobot. You shouldn't be living in my Dad's garage. I mean, you're suffocating in here. You deserve better than this."

Bumblebee groaned in sadness and turned his head away from me. "Hey, this is hard enough, man. Don't make it harder," I said softly, "Can you just look at me, please?" I gently cupped his cheek and made him look at me but he got sad and turned his head down again.

"Come on, big guy. Look, the guardian thing is done. Okay? You did your job," I said softly. "I'm safe now and thank you for staying with me for so long. But you need to go be with Optimus Prime and the others. You can work with them and William. You like Will, don't you?" Bumblebee nodded sadly and I smiled softly.

"It's not the last time I'm gonna see you, you know, Bee," I said. He turned his head away again, holding his hand out towards me as to stop. I stared at him sadly, "Come on, don't do that. Bee. You'll always be my first car and my best friend." He hold his arm up to cover his eyes and I frowned sadly, "No, no, hey, come on man."

He turned his head away again and I looked down before back at him, "I'm sorry, Bee," I said before turning away to walk out. When I walked out, I saw William was hanging up his phone and he turned to me, "How did it go?"

"It's hard on both of us," I muttered, crossing my arms across my chest. "Can I ask you something?" He nodded and I bit my lower lip before speaking, "Can you take Bee with you to the others? It's better for him to be with them and you."

He nodded slowly, "Yeah, sure," He agreed. "We should go now. Epps just called me and told me I had to come back." I frowned sadly but nodded, "Yeah okay. You should go and tell Bee."

He looked down and then back at me, "You okay with that?" He asked. I took a moment before nodding but I didn't say anything. I swallowed, "Yeah."
